The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 (“Interim 2022”) and the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 (“Interim 2021”) should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this semi-annual report. The consolidated financial statements included in this semi-annual report are those of TerraCycle US Inc. and represent our entire operation. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

 

Overview of Business Operations and Revenue Recognition

 

TerraCycle US Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in August 2017 by our parent company, Terracycle, Inc. (“TCI Parent”) which continues to own all of our common stock (approximately 71.8% of our equity). The remaining 28.2% of our equity is held by stockholders from our Regulation A offering which was conducted between January 10, 2018 and September 30, 2020. Our wholly owned subsidiary, TerraCycle US, LLC (“TerraCycle US, LLC”), is also our operating subsidiary and has been operating in the United States since January 1, 2014. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TerraCycle US, LLC and its wholly owned domestic subsidiary, TerraCycle Regulated Waste, LLC. We conduct our business exclusively through our operating subsidiary, which generated revenues in each fiscal year since its inception. Our business focuses on helping companies and consumers find a solution to collect and recycle many kinds of waste that are not commonly recycled. We provide premium recycling services to manufacturers (brands), retailers, organizations and individuals that pay us to recycle a product and/or package they manufacture or use.

 

Our net sales are derived primarily from sale of products and services in four principal segments: Sponsored Waste, Zero Waste Boxes, Material Sales, and Regulated Waste. In addition, certain corporate items are included in net sales. This relates to assets that are not managed directly by the reportable segments.

 

In Sponsored Waste, we design and administer turnkey programs through which we bring manufacturers or brands and the public together to recycle certain categories of products and/or packaging that the manufacturers produce. These programs are sponsored and funded by manufacturers or brands and are free to the public. We generally record revenue from these programs both from management fees that we charge the sponsors as well as variable fees that we charge the sponsors based on the amount of waste received. In some programs we provide additional add-on services such as shopper marketing and sale of specialty products made from recycled materials.

 

We also sell recycling services via Zero Waste Boxes. Through this program we send Zero Waste Boxes to customers or clients to be returned to us once filled with the applicable waste stream. This program is used by customers or clients who wish to collect and recycle a specific waste stream not sponsored by a brand. We receive revenues from the sale of these services. In addition, we work with some Zero Waste Boxes customers to design custom programs where we provide marketing and support services to help promote the collection of certain waste streams. In addition to the revenue earned from the sale of recycling services via Zero Waste Boxes, we also earn management fees for the marketing and support service that we provide to support those programs.

 

In Material Sales we receive revenues from the sale of pre-processed waste directly to a recycler and/or sale of the processed recycled materials recycled through third party recycling facilities.

 

Regulated Waste provides products and services to mainly offices for the effective and compliant management of Regulated Universal waste. Revenue from Regulated Waste is derived from fees we charge for these products and services.

 

Our cost of revenues primarily consists of logistics expenses (both shipping and warehousing), redemption of charity points, processing costs and cost of employees associated with the delivery of services).

 

Media Placements and Awards

 

During the first half of 2022, we earned over 12,500 media placements globally, resulting in a combined reach of nearly 17.8 billion readers, marking a 17% increase in placements over last year (which had been our record setting year to date).

 

The North American PR team generated nearly 9,700 media placements throughout the second quarter of 2022, resulting in a combined reach of nearly 9.8 billion readers, marking a 34% increase in placements and a 4% increase in readers over the same period in 2021. Notably, in Q2 PR earned over 4,400 media placements, resulting in over 4.7 billion media impressions in support of TerraCycle’s Earth Month related initiatives undertaken on behalf of brand partners.

Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the company’s financial condition and results of operations are based on the condensed consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to receivable allowances, inventories, accruals, goodwill and other intangible assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Operating Results

 

The Company’s financial performance has continued to be strong in 2022, in spite of the impact in our business of the COVID-19 global pandemic and the macro-economic pressures from raising inflation and looming possibility of a recession.

 

Net sales for the company for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (“Interim 2022”) were approximately $18,506,000, an increase of $3,401,000 (23%) from $15,105,000, compared to June 30, 2021 (“Interim 2021”). This increase was due to:

 

·Sponsored Waste net sales increased by approximately $1,079,000 (15%), driven both by new programs signing impact on management fees, and an increase in variable net sales from higher collections.

 

·Zero Waste Boxes net sales increased by approximately $1,477,000 (29%) driven by the continued expansion of this segment across individual and corporate customers and signing of new programs carrying management fees.

 

·Material Sales net sales increased by $58,000 (13%) during Interim 2022 from $458,000 during Interim 2021, showing signs of recovery from the impact of the pandemic in 2022.

 

·Regulated Waste net sales decreased by $159,000 (5%) for Interim 2022 compared to Interim 2021, as the impact of partial return to offices continues to impact this business. Our EasyPak PPE Recycling Containers remain a top-selling item.

 

In addition, there was approximately $945,000 increase as a result of the timing of revenue recognition of annual contracts. The increase was primarily attributable to the deferred revenue on the variable fees as we increase the amount of waste processes, which are not recorded at the segment level.

 

A breakdown of the company’s performance by each segment for the periods ending June 30, 2022 and 2021, can be seen in Note 10 to the accompanying financial statements.

 

Our cost of sales primarily consists of logistics expenses (both shipping and warehousing), redemption of charity points, processing costs and cost of employees associated with the delivery of services. Our cost of sales was approximately $7,596,000 in Interim 2022, an increase of $2,673,000 (54%) from $4,923,000 in same period last year, primarily driven by $1,756,000 in higher processing costs associated with the increased sales, a $263,000 increase in warehousing costs primarily due to the one-time cost of our NJ warehouse relocation, an increase of $586,000 for the reported cost of sales associated with the decrease in deferred revenue, and slightly higher operational expenses of $68,000.

 

Our gross profit was approximately $10,910,000 in Interim 2022, an increase of $728,000 (7%) compared to Interim 2021 of $10,182,000. Gross margin decreased to 59.0%, compared to 67.4% same period last year, reflecting unfavorable product mix and one-time operational expenses.

 

Our operating expenses primarily consist of selling, general and administrative expense. Operating expenses for Interim 2022 were approximately $9,851,000, an increase of $4,042,000 (70%), compared to the same period in the prior year of $5,809,000. This increase was driven by continued investment in resources to grow the business, primarily in the form of hiring direct company personnel ($1,465,000), and TCI Parent allocated personnel ($1,165,000). The increased operating expenses were also due to increased marketing expenses ($121,000), the impact in 2021 of the forgiveness of PPP loan ($838,000), higher office operational expenses, utilities, and supplies ($105,000), T&E ($133,000), bad debt ($132,000), financial transaction fees associated to the higher Zero Waste Boxes sales ($69,000) and other miscellaneous expenses ($14,000).

 

Other (income)/expense, primarily interest (income)/expense, increased by $82,000, from income of $7,000 in the same period last year, mainly due to the increase of the loan facility with TCI Parent resulting in higher interest income generated. See “Term Loan Agreement”, below.

 

Income tax provision decreased by approximately $899,000 to $315,000 for Interim 2022 from $1,214,000 in Interim 2021, due to the lower level of before tax profits.

 

As a result of the foregoing, the net income of the company decreased by approximately $2,334,000 for Interim 2022 to $819,000, from $3,153,000 in same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flow

 

Operating Activities

 

We used approximately $7,475,000 of cash from operations during Interim 2022. Net income generated $819,000 of cash flow. Accounts receivable used approximately $1,524,000 of cash due to increased revenue. Inventory used approximately $462,000 due to an increase in raw materials and finished goods to support growth in our ZWB segment. Accounts payable used approximately $860,000 of cash related to timing of payables coming due. Intercompany payables used about $6,693,000 of cash in connection with a loan to TCI Parent. Deferred income generated approximately $892,000 of cash.

 

Investing Activities

 

In line with our directive to protect cash, there were minimal investing activities this period.

 

Financing Activities

 

Our financing activities used net cash of approximately $5,643,000 during Interim 2022 as a result of the annual payment of dividends to common and preferred shareholders made in May.

 

Term Loan Agreement

 

The company entered into a term loan agreement with TCI Parent on July 1, 2019, as amended, under which TCI Parent may borrow up to $10 million from the company. Under the terms of the agreement, TCI Parent will pay interest on a quarterly basis at a rate of LIBOR + 2.25 percent based on the average monthly balance for each preceding quarter. The entire unpaid principal balance together with any unpaid accrued interest and other unpaid charges or fees shall be due and payable at the end of the term, which is January 1, 2024. The company may decline to advance funds under this agreement in the event of a default, which would constitute a failure to pay interest when due, failure to pay principal within fifteen days of due date or in the event any representation or warranty by TCI Parent in connection with this agreement was untrue in any material respect at the time it was made. As at June 30, 2022, the balance of the company’s loan to TCI Parent pursuant to this agreement was $7,261,832. The term loan agreement and amendment are attached to this report as Exhibits 6.4 and 6.5, respectively.

 

Capital Resources

 

Management believes that the company’s existing cash balances of $14,417,125 at June 30, 2022, along with cash expected to be generated from future operations, will be sufficient to fund activities for the foreseeable future.

 

Commitments

 

On March 27, 2014, TerraCycle US, LLC entered into a mortgage note payable to TD Bank, N.A. related to the purchase of office space located on 121 New York Avenue, Trenton, New Jersey. The principal amount of that loan is $300,000 and is subject to interest at 5.75%. TD Bank has a call to reset the interest rate at each five-year anniversary of the mortgage; however, we have option to pay off the entire mortgage at that time without penalty. The mortgage note is secured by the building and matures on April 1, 2029. The amount outstanding under the mortgage note payable was approximately $166,000 at June 30, 2022 and $175,000 at December 31, 2021.

 

On May 26, 2016, TerraCycle US, LLC entered into a mortgage note payable with Bank of America Merrill Lynch related to the purchase of additional office space for the building located on 21 Hillside Avenue in Trenton, New Jersey. The principal amount of that loan is $300,000 and is subject to interest at 4.5%. The mortgage note is secured by the building and matures on May 25, 2031. The amount outstanding under the mortgage note payable was approximately $202,000 at June 30, 2022 and $211,000 at December 31, 2021.

 

On February 25, 2019, the company opened a $2,000,000 Line of Credit with Bank of America. Terms are interest rate of a rate per year equal to the sum of the greater of the BSBY daily floating rate or the Index floor plus 2.5%, collateralized by fixed assets, inventory and receivables and the line expired on December 31, 2019 with a temporary renewal until June 30, 2023. The line of credit has been used from time to time, with no balance outstanding as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

 

The company contracts with various third-party properties for storage facilities on an as-needed basis. Storage facilities are on a month-to-month basis and not subject to lease agreements, with the exception of one facility located in Hamilton Township, NJ near our headquarters in which the company has entered into a lease agreement with a stockholder of its parent company that expired on January 31, 2021, and continued on a month-to-month basis at the existing base rate until its termination November 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, rent expense paid to this stockholder was approximately $0 and $97,608, respectively. No future minimum lease payments are expected. For details, see Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements.

 

For details regarding the company’s debt obligations and lease commitments, see Notes 7 and 8 to the accompanying financial statements.

As discussed below, our operations and future outlook have been affected by COVID-19.

 

Trend Information

 

COVID-19

 

Similar to many companies, we have been impacted by COVID-19. The largest impact on the company was the decrease in Regulated Waste sales during to office closures.

 

Management Plans

 

Management has been evaluating options for streamlining operations, reducing our shipping expense, and reducing our reliance on leased warehousing locations. The Company is currently evaluating an acquisition of a facility, which we believe would advance both goals. At this time, we are conducting due diligence on the property; assuming management satisfaction and Board approval, we anticipate closing on the potential warehouse and office facility before the end of the year.

 

General Market Trends

 

  We believe that the revenue in the business (which grew except in Material Sales due to a one-time deal in 2019, and Regulated Waste, which was impacted by COVID-19) should continue growing, while costs are continually being monitored closely.
     
  We believe that the market for our products and services will continue to improve if economic conditions in the United States remain consistent or improve.

 

  Global efforts spearheaded by the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation have raised the public’s and corporations’ awareness to transition from a “linear disposable economy” to a “recycle circular economy”.

 

  More corporations are integrating sustainability programs into their operations and marketing initiatives.

2.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840). The ASU will require that all leasing activity with initial terms in excess of twelve months be recognized on the balance sheet with a right of use asset and lease liability. The standard will require entities to classify leases as either a finance or operating lease based upon the contractual terms. For finance leases, the right to use asset and lease liability will be calculated based upon the present value of the lease payments. The asset will then be amortized and the interest on the obligation will be recognized separately within the statement of operations. For operating leases, the right to use asset and lease liability will also be calculated based upon the present value of the lease payments. However, the cost of the lease will generally be allocated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and presented as a single expense on the statement of operations. The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and will require entities to use a modified retrospective approach to the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting the new standard.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new guidance requires organizations to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU is effective for the Company for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

6.Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) on January 1, 2019. In accordance with Topic 606, revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of products or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for providing services or transferring products.

 

Revenue is recognized when all of these conditions are satisfied: (1) persuasive evidence of a contract or arrangement exists with a customer, (2) performance obligations of the contract have been identified, (3) the price is fixed or determinable, (4) the price is allocated to performance obligations of the contract, and (5) delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered.

 

The Company has various recycling programs for which revenue is generated. The Company enters into agreements with customers under various programs that seek to recycle their products or packaging through a sponsored collection or zero waste program. If the Company receives an up-front payment (annual fee and sometimes an exclusivity fee) to allow the customers to use the Company logo on its packages and advertise that the Company is a partner, revenue recognition is deferred and recorded to income over the term of the contract which usually spans one year, with some contracts as long as three years. An unearned amount related to such fees of approximately $4,962,000 and $3,837,000 is included in deferred income at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

The Company also receives a variable fee, usually billed monthly for the collection and recycling of products. Revenue is deferred until such waste is processed. An unearned amount of approximately $3,260,000 and $3,493,000 is included in deferred revenue at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

Merchandise sold is recorded as revenue upon shipment.
