FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED March 31, 2019 and 2020 (Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Mohawk Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Mohawk” or the “Company”) is a rapidly growing technology-enabled consumer products company that uses machine learning and data analytics to design, develop, market and sell products. Mohawk predominately operates through online retail channels such as Amazon.com, Inc. (“Amazon”) and Walmart, Inc.

Headquartered in New York, Mohawk’s offices can be found in China, Philippines, Israel, and Poland.

Liquidity and Going Concern—The Company is an early-stage growth company. Accordingly, the Company endeavors to continuously invest in the launch of new products, the development of its software, and the expansion of its sales and distribution infrastructure in order to accelerate revenue growth and scale operations to support such growth. To fund these investments, the Company has historically obtained financing and raised capital since its inception with the expectation that the Company will generate profits in the future. The Company intends to continue to its strategy of investing in growth by launching new products, developing its software and expanding its sales and distribution operations for the foreseeable future.

As a result of its historical investments, the Company has incurred operating losses since its inception, which includes operating losses of $54.3 million and $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2020, respectively, had an accumulated deficit of $129.8 million and $144.8 million at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively, cash on hand of $30.4 million and $14.1 million at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively, total outstanding borrowings from lenders of $35.1 million and $37.4 million at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively, and no available capacity on borrowings as of December 31, 2019 and less than $0.1 million available capacity on borrowings at March 31, 2020. The Company has raised $102.0 million in equity financing to fund its operations since inception, including the net proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering of common stock (“IPO”), through March 31, 2020.

During the Company’s review of the March 31, 2020 condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company’s financial forecast for the next 12 months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, included revenue growth, margin expansion, a reduction of certain fixed costs, an improvement in inventory management, and a reduction in operating cash deficit. In addition, management anticipated that the Company would not breach its financial covenants associated with its existing credit facility or term loan for the next twelve months. However, there is no assurance that management’s forecast would be attained or that the Company will be able to maintain its liquidity to fund operations and/or maintain compliance with its covenants without future equity investments or issuance of debt from outside sources. In the event of a breach of the Company’s financial covenants under the credit facility and/or its term loan, outstanding borrowings would become due on demand absent a waiver from the lenders.

 

In addition, while the Company anticipates it will remain in compliance with the covenants prescribed by its existing financing arrangements (See Note 6 – Credit Facility and Term Loans), there can be no assurance that the Company’s operating forecast and cash flows for the twelve months following the issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, will be attained such that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants or generate sufficient liquidity to fund its ongoing operations.  These negative financial conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of March 31, 2020. 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern and as such, include no adjustments that might be necessary in the event that the Company was unable to operate on this basis. 

 

Management plans to continue to closely monitor its operating forecast and cash flows, and may pursue additional sources of financing and/or capital to fund its operations.  If the Company is unable to improve its operating results, increase its operating cash inflows, and/or obtain additional sources of financing and capital on acceptable terms (if at all), the Company may have to make significant changes to its operating plan, such as delay expenditures, reduce investments in new products, delay the development of its software, reduce its sale and distribution infrastructure, or otherwise significantly reduce the scope of its business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Coronavirus Pandemic

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified COVID-19 as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact associated with preventative and precautionary measures that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking, continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company, but the pandemic may materially affect the Company's financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic began to have an unfavorable impact on the Company, including its key manufacturing partners, in January 2020.  Substantially all of the Company’s products are sourced and manufactured in China, including new products that it expects to launch during 2020. In addition, the Company relies upon its team in Shenzhen for a number of functions relating to product sourcing and development, among other things. The Company has a key manufacturing partner in China that re-opened its facilities as of February 10, 2020 and reached over 90% capacity early in March 2020. This key manufacturer is expected to manufacture over 30% of the Company’s inventory in 2020. 

 

Although the Company has seen an increase in its net revenue since March 2020 and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the future impact on the Company’s personnel, business and global operations, and on the Company’s suppliers, logistics providers, marketplaces and other business partners is uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Given the nature of the pandemic, it is possible that any and every aspect of the Company’s value chain could be disrupted, and such impact could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. For example, the Company may be unable to launch new products, to replenish inventory for existing products, to ship into or receive inventory in its third-party warehouses, or to ship or sell products to customers, in each case on a timely basis or at all. The Company also may be unable to forecast demand for its products during the pendency of this pandemic and the Company may experience a substantial decrease in the demand for its products, most of which are considered not essential.

 

In addition, the majority of the Company’s personnel are currently working remotely, which creates challenges in the way the Company operates its business, including, but not limited to, the manner in which the Company tests products and its ability to meet its reporting obligations. If any of the Company’s key personnel contracts COVID-19, the Company could experience impacts to its ability to execute its operations.

 

Further, the Company is currently seeking to preserve its liquidity and capital resources through various actions, which include delaying and negotiating the delay of payments to certain vendors, the effect of which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, including its relationships with these vendors. The Company’s operations rely on third-parties to manufacture its products, to provide logistics and warehousing services and to facilitate sales of its products, and accordingly the Company relies on the business continuity plans of these third parties to operate during the pandemic and have limited ability to influence their plans.

 

In light of the uncertainty as to the severity and duration of the pandemic, the Company may be unable to remain in compliance with the terms of its existing loan agreements and may be unable to secure a waiver, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, prospects and financial condition and the Company intends to seek additional financing options. The Company expects that any financing, if successful, will be expensive and/or dilutive. Furthermore, the spread of COVID-19, which has caused a broad impact globally, may materially affect the Company economically. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing the Company’s ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect its liquidity.

 

Due to the uncertainty as to the severity and duration of the pandemic, the impact on the Company’s future revenues, profitability, financial position and business is uncertain at this time.

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2020, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the statements of stockholder’s equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 included herein was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on March 30, 2020, (the “Annual Report”).

Use of Estimates—Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period covered by the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation—The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments, including net accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued and other current liabilities are carried at historical cost. At March 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of their short-term nature. The credit facility is carried at amortized cost and at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 and the carrying amount approximates fair value as the stated interest rate approximates market rates currently available to the Company. The Company considers the inputs utilized to determine the fair value of the borrowings to be Level 2 inputs. The Company’s financial instruments of cash and restricted cash consist of Level 1 assets at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. The Company’s cash and restricted cash was approximately $30.8 million and $14.5 million, respectively, and included savings deposits and overnight investments at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2—Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data for the related assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) permits an emerging growth company to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period until it is no longer an emerging growth company or until it affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods and services. This ASU is effective for all annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The new guidance was adopted on January 1, 2020 with no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) (“ASU 2018-02”). ASU 2018-02 addresses the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The new guidance was adopted on January 1, 2020 with no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820. The amendments in this ASU are the result of a broader disclosure project called FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. This ASU is effective for all annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The new guidance was adopted on January 1, 2020 with no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. ASU 2016-02 states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. In July 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date for this ASU for private companies (including emerging growth companies) and it will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. While the Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of adoption of this standard, the Company does not expect it to have a material impact on the its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU requires the use of an expected loss model for certain types of financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to calculate credit loss estimates. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses is required. For available-for-sale debt securities, an allowance for credit losses will be required rather than a reduction to the carrying value of the asset. In July 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date for this ASU for private companies (including emerging growth companies) and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. While the Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of adoption of this standard, the Company does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Inventory consisted of the following as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020:

 

 

All of the Company’s inventory on-hand is held either with Amazon or the Company’s other third-party warehouses. The Company does not have any contractual right of returns with its contract manufacturers. The Company’s inventory on-hand held by Amazon was approximately $4.7 million and $7.0 million as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

MidCap Credit Facility and Term Loan  

On November 23, 2018, the Company entered into a three-year $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”). The Credit Facility can be increased, subject to certain conditions, to $50.0 million. Loans under the Credit Facility are determined based on percentages of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The Credit Facility bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 5.75% for outstanding borrowings. The Company is required to pay a facility availability fee of 0.5% on the average unused portion of the facility. The Credit Facility contains a minimum liquidity financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $5.0 million in cash on hand or availability in the Credit Facility. In 2018, the Company incurred approximately $1.3 million in debt issuance costs which has been offset against the debt and will be expensed over the three years. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.7 million, relating to a prior three-year revolving credit facility with MidCap, will be amortized in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2019, there was $23.0 million outstanding on the Credit Facility and an available balance of approximately $0.0 million. As of March 31, 2020, there was $25.0 million outstanding on the Credit Facility and an available balance of less than $0.1 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained within the Credit Facility.       

The Company recorded interest expense from the Credit Facilities of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020 respectively, which included $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, relating to debt issuance costs.

Horizon Term Loan

On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (the “Horizon Loan Agreement”) with Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (“Horizon”). As part of the agreement, the Company obtained a five-year $15.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan bears interest at 9.90% plus the amount by which one-month LIBOR (or, if LIBOR is no longer widely used or available, a successor benchmark rate, which successor rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice, or if there is no consistent market practice, such successor rate shall be applied in a manner reasonably determined by Horizon) exceeds 2.50% for outstanding borrowings and payments on principal are made on a monthly basis. The maturity date of the Term Loan is January 2023. The Term Loan contains minimum required EBITDA financial covenants that require the Company to achieve EBITDA of certain amounts based on the amount that the Company is permitted to borrow above $25.0 million under the Credit Facility (the “Revolving Line Indebtedness Cap”). The Horizon Loan Agreement also contains a cash collateral covenant that requires the Company to maintain a cash collateral account with an amount based on the Revolving Line Indebtedness Cap.

In connection with the Horizon Loan Agreement, the Company issued to Horizon warrants to purchase 76,923 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $15.60 per share. The warrants are exercisable and expire ten years from the date of issuance. The Company utilized the Binomial option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrants. The fair value of the warrants on issuance was $0.9 million, which has been recorded as a debt discount against the Term Loan.

The Company incurred approximately $1.0 million in debt issuance costs which has been offset against the debt and will be expensed over the term of the Term Loan, five years.

The Credit Facility and the Term Loan contain a minimum liquidity covenant that requires the Company to maintain at minimum $5.0 million in unrestricted cash at all times, subject to increases based on amounts drawn. Further, there are additional covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to (i) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; (iii) make other restricted payments; (iv) incur liens; (v) redeem debt that is junior in right of payment to the notes; (vi) sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; (vii) enter into mergers or consolidations; and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications.

As of December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2020 there was $15.0 million outstanding on the Term Loan and the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants. The Company recorded interest expense from the Term Loan of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, which included less than $0.1 million, relating to debt issuance costs.

The Company’s board of directors adopted the Mohawk Group Holdings, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Mohawk 2018 Plan”) on October 11, 2018. The Mohawk 2018 Plan was approved by its stockholders on May 24, 2019.

2019 Equity Plan

 

The Company’s board of directors adopted the Mohawk Group Holdings, Inc. 2019 Equity Plan (the “2019 Equity Plan”) on March 20, 2019. The 2019 Equity Plan was approved by its stockholders on May 24, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, an aggregate of 2,098,006 shares of restricted common stock were outstanding, with no shares reserved for future issuance. Shares of restricted common stock granted under the 2019 Equity Plan initially vested in substantially equal installments on the 6th, 12th, 18th and 24th monthly anniversary of the closing of the IPO. The Company and the 2019 Equity Plan participants subsequently agreed to extend the vesting date for the first installment of shares of restricted common stock under the 2019 Equity Plan to March 13, 2020. Awards granted under the 2019 Equity Plan and not previously forfeited upon termination of service carry dividend and voting rights applicable to the Company’s common stock, irrespective of any vesting requirement. Under ASC Topic 718, the Company treats each award in substance as multiple awards as a result of the graded vesting and that there is more than one requisite service period. Upon prerequisite service period becoming probable, the day of the IPO, the Company recorded a cumulative catch up expense and the remaining expense will be recorded under graded vesting. In the event the service of a participant in the 2019 Equity Plan (each, a “Participant”) is terminated due to an “involuntary termination”, then all of such Participant’s unvested shares of restricted common stock shall vest on the date of such involuntary termination unless, within three business days of such termination, (1) the Company’s board of directors unanimously determines that such vesting shall not occur and (2) the remaining Participants holding restricted share awards covering at least 70% of the shares of restricted common stock issued and outstanding under the 2019 Equity Plan determine that such vesting shall not occur. In the event of a forfeiture, voluntary or involuntary, of shares of restricted common stock granted under the 2019 Equity Plan, such shares are automatically reallocated to the remaining Participants in proportion to the number of shares of restricted common stock covered by outstanding awards that each such Participant holds.

Stock-based compensation expense for restricted shares granted was $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, $1.1 million shares of restricted common stock vested.

Stock-based compensation expense is allocated based on the cost center to which the award holder belongs. The following table summarizes the total stock-based compensation expense by function for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

 

 

Basic net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted-average shares reflects the dilutive effect, if any, of potentially dilutive shares of common stock, such as options to purchase common stock calculated using the treasury stock method and convertible notes using the “if-converted” method. In periods with reported net operating losses, all options to purchase common stock are deemed anti-dilutive such that basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are equal.

The Company’s shares of restricted common stock are entitled to receive dividends and hold voting rights applicable to the Company’s common stock, irrespective of any vesting requirement. Accordingly, although the vesting commences upon the elimination of the contingency, the shares of restricted common stock are considered a participating security and the Company is required to apply the two-class method to consider the impact of the shares of restricted common stock on the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company is currently in a net loss position and is therefore not required to present the two-class method; however, in the event the Company is in a net income position, the two-class method must be applied by allocating all earnings during the period to shares of common stock and shares of restricted common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

 

 

Legal Proceedings—The Company is party to various actions and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the final outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations. In addition, the Company maintains what it believes is adequate insurance coverage to further mitigate risk. However, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings will not materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Further, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters.
