MYERS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Myers Industries, Inc. and all wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2021, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Accounting Standards Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and by clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application. Certain amendments within this ASU are required to be applied on a retrospective basis, certain other amendments are required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis and all other amendments on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows guidance included in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial assets and liabilities, as required. Under ASC 820, the hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:
|
Level 1:
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
Level 2:
|
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 inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly.
|
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data or which reflect the entity’s own assumptions.
|
The Company has financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value due to the nature and relative short maturity of these assets and liabilities.
The fair value of debt under the Company’s Loan Agreement, as defined in Note 12, approximates carrying value due to the floating rates and relative short maturity (less than 90 days) of any revolving borrowings under this agreement. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated using market observable inputs for the Company’s comparable peers with public debt, including quoted prices in active markets and interest rate measurements which are considered Level 2 inputs. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate fair value of the Company's outstanding fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated to be $41.6 million and $80.9 million, respectively.
The purchase price allocations associated with the July 30, 2021 acquisition of Trilogy Plastics, Inc. (“Trilogy”) and the November 10, 2020 acquisition of Elkhart Plastics, Inc. (“Elkhart Plastics”), as described in Note 3, required fair value measurements using unobservable inputs which are considered Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the acquired intangible assets was determined using an income approach.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Management has established certain requirements that customers must meet before credit is extended. The financial condition of customers is continually monitored and collateral is usually not required. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The Company reviews historical trends for credit loss as well as current economic conditions in determining an estimate for its allowance for credit losses. Additionally, in circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance for credit losses is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably expects will be collected.
The changes in the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. In both the Distribution and Material Handling segments, this generally occurs with the transfer of control of the products. This transfer of control may occur at either the time of shipment from a Company facility, or at the time of delivery to a designated customer location. Obligations under contracts with customers are typically fulfilled within 90 days of receiving a purchase order from a customer, and generally no other future obligations are required to be performed. The Company generally does not enter into any long-term contracts with customers greater than one year. Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customer contracts, no deferred revenue has been recorded, with the exception of cash advances or deposits received from customers prior to transfer of control of the product. These advances are typically fulfilled within the 90-day time frame mentioned above.

(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the products. Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as rebates or discounts. The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration each period, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs. While the Company’s contracts with customers do not generally include explicit rights to return product, the Company will in practice allow returns in the normal course of business and as part of the customer relationship. Expected returns allowances are recognized each period based on an analysis of historical experience, and when physical recovery of the product from returns occurs, an estimated right to return asset is also recorded based on the approximate cost of the product.
Amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) related to revenue recognition include:

Sales, value added, and other taxes collected with revenue from customers are excluded from net sales. The cost for shipments to customers is recognized when control over products has transferred to the customer and is classified as Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the Company’s manufacturing business and as Cost of Sales for the Company’s distribution business. Costs for shipments to customers in Selling, General and Administrative expenses were approximately $2.8 million and $2.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $7.5 million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and in Cost of Sales were approximately $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $5.4 million and $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Based on the short-term nature of contracts described above, contract acquisition costs are not significant. These costs, as well as other incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract, are recognized as expense as incurred.
3. Acquisitions
Trilogy Plastics
On July 30, 2021, the Company acquired the assets of Trilogy, a custom rotational molder specializing in high quality parts and assemblies, which is included in the Materials Handling Segment. The Trilogy acquisition aligns with the Company’s long-term strategic plan to transform the Company into a high-growth, customer-centric innovator of value-added engineered plastic solutions. The purchase price for the acquisition was $34.5 million, which includes a preliminary estimated working capital adjustment of $0.3 million subject to further adjustment based on the final working capital. The Company funded the acquisition with proceeds from the Loan Agreement described in Note 12.
The acquisition of Trilogy was accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the acquisition date, which are subject to adjustment. The purchase accounting will be finalized within one year from the acquisition date.

On November 10, 2020, the Company acquired the assets of Elkhart Plastics, a manufacturer of engineered products for the RV, marine, agricultural, construction, truck and other industries, which is included in the Company’s Material Handling Segment. The Elkhart Plastics acquisition aligns with the Company’s long-term strategic plan to transform the Company into a high-growth, customer-centric innovator of value-added engineered plastic solutions. The purchase price for the acquisition was $63.8 million, including a working capital adjustment of $1.2 million, which was settled in 2021. The Company funded the acquisition using available cash.
The acquisition of Elkhart Plastics was accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the acquisition date, which are subject to adjustment. The purchase accounting will be finalized within one year from the acquisition date.

Tuffy
On August 26, 2019, the Company acquired the assets of Tuffy Manufacturing Industries, Inc. (“Tuffy”), a warehouse distributor of tire repair equipment and supplies, which is included in the Distribution Segment. The Tuffy acquisition aligns with the Company’s strategy to grow in key niche markets and focus on strategic account customers. The purchase price for the acquisition was $18.7 million, including a working capital adjustment of $0.7 million that was paid in 2020. The Company funded the acquisition using available cash.
4. Settlement of Note Receivable and Lease Guarantee
In 2015, the Company sold its Lawn and Garden business to an entity controlled by Wingate Partners V, L.P. (“L&G Buyer”), which later became HC Companies, Inc. (“HC”). The terms of the sale included promissory notes from HC. Due to uncertainty of collection, a provision for expected loss of $23.0 million was recorded within continuing operations during 2018 to fully impair the notes and corresponding interest receivable.
Also, in connection with the sale of the Lawn and Garden business, the Company became a guarantor for any remaining rent payments under one of HC’s facility leases expiring in September 2025. Annual rent for the facility was approximately $2 million. Due to the financial risk associated with HC, the Company assessed its range of potential obligations under the lease guarantee, and recorded a liability and related pre-tax charge of $10.3 million during 2018. The carrying value of the lease contingency as of December 31, 2019 was $10.7 million, which represented the initial liability recorded plus accretion.

In January 2020, the Company sold to HC the fully-reserved promissory notes and related accrued interest receivable in exchange for $1.2 million and the release from the lease guarantee resulting in an $11.9 million pre-tax gain.
5. Restructuring
In March 2019, the Company committed to implementing a restructuring plan involving its Ameri-Kart Corp. subsidiary (“Ameri-Kart”), a business within the Material Handling Segment. The Company plans to consolidate manufacturing operations currently conducted at Ameri-Kart’s Cassopolis, Michigan and Bristol, Indiana facilities with expanded operations in a new facility in Bristol, Indiana (the “Ameri-Kart Plan”). In December 2019, as amended in March 2021, Ameri-Kart entered into a lease agreement for a newly constructed manufacturing and distribution facility in Bristol, Indiana. The building became substantially complete in March 2021 as defined in the lease agreement, and the 15-year finance lease of the new Bristol facility commenced. In connection with the lease agreement, Ameri-Kart agreed to sell its original Bristol facility and lease it back for a period of 5 years. During the second quarter of 2021, the sale of the original facility for net proceeds of $2.8 million was completed, which resulted in a gain of $1.0 million, and the lease back commenced. At December 31, 2020, the $1.9 million carrying value of the original Bristol facility was classified as held for sale and included in Other Assets. While Ameri-Kart has taken possession of the new Bristol facility, construction remains in process as of September 30, 2021 to complete it for its full intended use. In December 2020, Ameri-Kart also provided one-year advance notice of termination for the lease of its Cassopolis, Michigan facility.
The Ameri-Kart Plan is expected to be substantially completed in 2021 and total restructuring costs expected to be incurred are approximately $1.3 million, primarily related to equipment relocation and facility shut down costs. The Company incurred $0.1 million and $0.2 million of restructuring charges during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, which were recorded within Cost of Sales. No restructuring charges were incurred during the quarter or nine months ended September 30, 2020.
6. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market for last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory and lower of cost or net realizable value for first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory. Approximately 30 percent of inventories are valued using the LIFO method of determining cost. All other inventories are valued using the FIFO method of determining cost. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. During 2021, multiple inventory pools had an increase in commodity and other costs that are expected to hold through year-end, and therefore, an adjustment of $1.6 million was made to increase the LIFO reserve and cost of sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021. No adjustment to the LIFO reserve was recorded for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Intangible assets other than goodwill primarily consist of trade names, customer relationships, patents, non-competition agreements and technology assets established in connection with acquisitions. These intangible assets, other than certain trade names, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Indefinite-lived trade names had a carrying value of $9.8 million at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 3 for the intangible assets acquired through the Trilogy acquisition in July 2021 and the Elkhart Plastics acquisition in November 2020.

Options to purchase 42,945 shares of common stock that were outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and 607,123 and 435,998 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of common shares, and were therefore anti-dilutive. There were no options to purchase shares of common stock excluded from the computation of diluted earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
10. Stock Compensation
The Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2017 Plan”) authorizes the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) to issue up to 5,126,950 shares of various stock awards including stock options, performance stock units, restricted stock units and other forms of equity-based awards to key employees and directors. No new awards were permitted to be issued under the 2017 Plan after April 29, 2021. Options granted and outstanding vest over the requisite service period and expire ten years from the date of grant.
The Company’s 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors on March 4, 2021, amended by the Board of Directors on April 20, 2021, and approved by shareholders in the annual shareholder meeting on April 29, 2021. The 2021 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to issue up to 2,000,000 additional various stock awards including stock options, performance stock units, restricted stock units and other forms of equity-based awards.
Stock compensation expense was approximately $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $2.6 million and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These expenses are included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements at September 30, 2021 was approximately $5.7 million, which will be recognized over the next three years, as such compensation is earned.
11. Contingencies
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. When a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the most likely amount of the estimated probable loss is recorded, or if a range of probable loss can be estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount in the range is recorded. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary.
Based on current available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, including those described below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or overall trends in our results of operations. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the financial position and results of operations of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.
New Idria Mercury Mine
In September 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) informed a subsidiary of the Company, Buckhorn, Inc. (“Buckhorn”) via a notice letter and related documents (the “Notice Letter”) that it considers Buckhorn to be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) in connection with the New Idria Mercury Mine site (“New Idria Mine”). New Idria Mining & Chemical Company (“NIMCC”), which owned and/or operated the New Idria Mine through 1976, was merged into Buckhorn Metal Products Inc. in 1981, which was subsequently acquired by Myers Industries, Inc. in 1987. As a result of the EPA Notice Letter, Buckhorn and the Company engaged in negotiations with the EPA with respect to a draft Administrative Order of Consent (“AOC”) proposed by the EPA for the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) to determine the extent of remediation necessary and the screening of alternatives.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company and the EPA finalized the AOC and related Statement of Work (“SOW”) with regards to the New Idria Mine. The AOC is effective as of November 27, 2018, the date that it was executed by the EPA. The AOC and accompanying SOW document the terms, conditions and procedures for the Company’s performance of the RI/FS. In addition, the AOC required the Company to provide $2 million of financial assurance to the EPA to secure its performance during the estimated life of the RI/FS. In January 2019, the Company provided a letter of credit to satisfy this assurance requirement. The AOC also includes provisions for payment by the Company of the EPA’s costs of oversight of the RI/FS, including a prepayment in the amount of $0.2 million, which was paid in January 2019.
15
MYERS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
A draft work plan for the RI/FS, in accordance with the AOC and related SOW, was submitted to the EPA for review and approval in July 2019. Upon preparation of the draft work plan for the RI/FS, the Company received preliminary estimates from its consultants for the cost of the execution of the work plan. Based on these preliminary estimates, the Company recognized additional expense of $4.0 million during the second quarter of 2019. These preliminary estimates will continue to be refined through the finalization and approval of the draft work plan, which is anticipated to occur in 2022. The Company believes it has insurance coverage that applies to the New Idria Mine and thus may be able to recover a portion of the estimated costs; however, as of September 30, 2021, the Company has not recognized potential recovery in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
As part of the Notice Letter, the EPA also made a claim for approximately $1.6 million in past costs for actions it claims it has taken in connection with the New Idria Mine from 1993 through February 2014. While the Company is evaluating this past cost claim and may challenge portions of it, in 2015 the Company recognized an expense of $1.3 million related to the claim. In December 2020, the EPA updated its claim to include past costs incurred from March 2014 through June 2020. As a result, the Company recognized additional expense of $0.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company is in negotiations with the EPA regarding the past costs claim.
Since October 2011, when New Idria was added to the Superfund National Priorities List by the EPA, the Company has recognized $10.4 million of costs, of which approximately $3.2 million has been paid through September 30, 2021. These costs are comprised primarily of estimates to perform the RI/FS, negotiation of the AOC, identification of possible insurance resources and other PRPs, EPA oversight fees, past cost claims made by the EPA, periodic monitoring, and responses to unilateral administrative orders issued by the EPA. No expenses were recorded related to the New Idria Mine in the quarters or nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has a total reserve of $7.2 million related to the New Idria Mine, of which $1.1 million is classified in Other Current Liabilities and $6.1 million in Other Liabilities (long-term).
It is possible that adjustments to the aforementioned reserves will be necessary as new information is obtained, including after finalization and EPA approval of the work plan for the RI/FS. Estimates of the Company’s liability are based on current facts, laws, regulations and technology. Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluation and cost estimates, the extent of remedial actions that may be required, the extent of oversight by the EPA and the number and financial condition of other PRPs that may be named, as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation.
At this time, we have not accrued for remediation costs in connection with this site as we are unable to estimate the liability, given the circumstances referred to above, including the fact that the final remediation strategy has not yet been determined.
New Almaden Mine
A number of parties, including the Company and its subsidiary, Buckhorn (as successor to NIMCC), were alleged by trustee agencies of the United States and the State of California to be responsible for natural resource damages due to environmental contamination of areas comprising the historical New Almaden mercury mines located in the Guadalupe River Watershed region in Santa Clara County, California (“County”). In 2005, Buckhorn and the Company, without admitting liability or chain of ownership of NIMCC, resolved the trustees’ claim against them through a consent decree that required them to contribute financially to the implementation by the County of an environmentally beneficial project within the impacted area. Buckhorn and the Company negotiated an agreement with the County, whereby Buckhorn and the Company agreed to reimburse one-half of the County’s costs of implementing the project. The latest estimates received in 2016 from the County provided for an expanded scope and revised the estimate of costs for implementing the project to between $3.3 million and $4.4 million. The Company completed a detailed review of the support provided by the County for the revised estimate, and as a result, recognized additional expense of $1.2 million in 2016. No costs were incurred related to New Almaden in the quarters or nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has a total reserve of $1.5 million related to the New Almaden Mine, of which $0.3 million is classified in Other Current Liabilities and $1.2 million in Other Liabilities (long-term).
The project has not yet been implemented though significant work on design and planning has been performed. The Company is currently awaiting notice from Santa Clara County on the expected timing of fieldwork to commence. As work on the project occurs, it is possible that adjustments to the aforementioned reserves will be necessary to reflect new information. In addition, the Company may have claims against and defenses to claims by the County under the 2005 agreement that could reduce or offset its obligation for reimbursement of some of these potential additional costs. With the assistance of environmental consultants, the Company will closely monitor this matter and will continue to assess its reserves as additional information becomes available.

Patent Infringement
On December 11, 2018, No Spill Inc. filed suit against Scepter Manufacturing LLC and Scepter Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas asserting infringement of two patents, breach of contract, and trade dress claims in relation to plastic gasoline containers Scepter manufactures and sells in the United States. Scepter Canada, Inc. was later added in a second amended complaint. On November 15, 2019 the court dismissed Scepter Corporation from the action. While a full schedule through trial in the case has not yet been issued, a claim construction hearing was held on May 13, 2021 and the District Court held on June 23, 2021, that the claims of the patents were definite. On June 28, 2021, the Scepter companies filed with the District Court a motion for leave to assert counterclaims and the proposed counterclaims alleging antitrust related violations of certain provisions of the Sherman Act and Clayton Act. The Court granted the motion and the Scepter companies filed a Second Amended Complaint on October 1, 2021. On Sept 17, 2021, No Spill, Inc. filed a motion to strike Scepter’s amended invalidity contentions.
On December 28, 2019, Scepter Canada, Inc. had filed petitions with the District Court for inter partes review (“IPR”) of the two patents asserted by No Spill, Inc. The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) instituted one IPR and denied the other. With respect to the instituted IPR, the USPTO’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued a final decision on July 2, 2021, finding the claims of the patent valid.
The Scepter companies intend to defend themselves vigorously in this matter. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, and is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any reserves for this matter.

In March 2021, the Company entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), which amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”) dated March 2017. The Sixth Amendment increased the senior revolving credit facility’s borrowing limit to $250 million from $200 million, extended the maturity date to March 2024 from March 2022, and increased flexibility of the financial and other covenants and provisions. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility are secured by pledges of stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and guaranties of certain of its domestic subsidiaries. In connection with the Sixth Amendment, the Company incurred $1.1 million of deferred financing fees, which are included in Other Assets (long-term).
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $170.8 million available under the Loan Agreement. The Company had $5.8 million of letters of credit issued related to insurance and other contracts requiring financial assurance in the ordinary course of business, including the $2 million provided to the EPA as discussed in Note 11. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate, prime rate, federal funds effective rate, the Canadian deposit offered rate, or the euro currency reference rate depending on the type of loan requested by the Company, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
The Company also holds Senior Unsecured Notes (“Notes”), which range in face value from $11.0 million to $15.0 million, with interest rates ranging from 5.25% to 5.45%, payable semiannually, and maturing between January 2024 and January 2026. At September 30, 2021, $38.0 million of the Notes were outstanding. In January 2021, the Company repaid the $40.0 million note upon maturity with a combination of cash and proceeds under the Loan Agreement.

MYERS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s long-term debt was 4.24% and 6.28% for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 4.84% and 6.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which includes a quarterly facility fee on the used and unused portion, as well as amortization of deferred financing costs.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants associated with its Loan Agreement and Notes. The most restrictive financial covenants for all of the Company’s debt are a leverage ratio (defined as total debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted) and an interest coverage ratio (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, divided by interest expense).
13. Retirement Plans
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have pension and profit sharing plans covering substantially all of their employees. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan, The Pension Agreement between Akro-Mils and United Steelworkers of America Local No. 1761-02, provides benefits primarily based upon a fixed amount for each year of service. The plan was frozen in 2007, and no benefits for service were accumulated after this date.

14. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.6% and 26.0% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 27.2% and 25.3% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The effective income tax rate for both periods was different than the Company’s statutory rate, primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses.
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate was $0.8 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax returns. As of September 30, 2021, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2015. The Company’s 2017 U.S. Federal tax return is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The IRS began the examination in 2019 and there have been no changes resulting from this audit as of September 30, 2021. The Company is subject to state and local examinations for tax years of 2015 through 2019. In addition, the Company is subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years of 2016 through 2020.
15. Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has leases for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, office space and equipment, with remaining lease terms of one to fourteen years. Certain of these leases include options to extend the lease for up to five years, and some include options to terminate the lease early. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the statement of financial position; the Company recognizes lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months are included in right of use asset – operating leases (“ROU assets”), operating lease liability – short term, and operating lease liability – long term and finance leases are included property, plant and equipment, finance lease liability – short term, and finance lease liability – long term in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited).

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
The ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, which is then applied at the portfolio level, based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited) related to leases include:

Represents amounts due in 2021 after September 30, 2021
|
In March 2021, a 15-year finance lease for a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Bristol, Indiana commenced. While the Company has taken possession of the new Bristol facility, construction remains in process as of September 30, 2021 to complete it for its full intended use. As described in Note 5, this lease agreement was in connection with the Ameri-Kart Plan, which includes facility consolidation for this business within the Material Handling Segment.
The Company has operating leases for four facilities within the Material Handling Segment that are with a related party. Total right of use assets related to these related party leases were $4.0 million and $5.2 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Total operating lease liabilities related to these related party leases were $3.8 million and $5.0 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total lease expense from these related party leases was $0.4 million and $1.3 million in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
16. Industry Segments
The Company manages its business under two operating segments, Material Handling and Distribution, consistent with the manner in which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates performance and makes resource allocation decisions. None of the reportable segments include operating segments that have been aggregated. These segments contain individual business components that have been combined on the basis of common management, customers, products, production processes and other economic characteristics. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost plus a reasonable margin.
The Material Handling Segment manufactures a broad selection of plastic reusable containers, pallets, small parts bins, bulk shipping containers, storage and organization products, OEM parts, custom plastic products, consumer fuel containers and tanks for water, fuel and waste handling. Products in the Material Handling Segment are primarily injection molded, rotationally molded or blow molded. This segment conducts its primary operations in the United States and Canada. Markets served include industrial manufacturing, food processing, retail/wholesale products distribution, agriculture, automotive, recreational vehicles, marine vehicles, healthcare, appliance, bakery, electronics, textiles and consumer, among others. Products are sold both directly to end-users and through distributors. The acquisitions of Trilogy and Elkhart Plastics, described in Note 3, are included in the Material Handling Segment.

The Distribution Segment is engaged in the distribution of equipment, tools, and supplies used for tire servicing and automotive undervehicle repair and the manufacture of tire repair and retreading products. The product line includes categories such as tire valves and accessories, tire changing and balancing equipment, lifts and alignment equipment, service equipment and tools, and tire repair/retread supplies. The Distribution Segment also manufactures and sells certain traffic markings, including reflective highway marking tape. The Distribution Segment operates domestically through its sales offices and five regional distribution centers in the United States, and in certain foreign countries through export sales. In addition, the Distribution Segment operates directly in certain foreign markets, principally Central America, through foreign branch operations. Markets served include retail and truck tire dealers, commercial auto and truck fleets, auto dealers, general service and repair centers, tire retreaders, and government agencies. The acquisition of Tuffy, described in Note 3, is included within the Distribution Segment.
Total sales from foreign business units were approximately $11.7 million and $9.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $34.8 million and $28.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
