BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Ultralife Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Ultralife”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet information referenced herein was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

ACQUISITION |
On December 13, 2021, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Excell (as defined below) for an aggregate net purchase price of $
On December 13, 2021, 1336889 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, a British Columbia unlimited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultralife Canada Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“UCHC”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultralife Excell Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“UEHC”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultralife Corporation, completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of Excell Battery Canada Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Excell Canada”) (the “Excell Canada Acquisition”), and, concurrently, 1336902 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, a British Columbia unlimited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of UCHC, completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of 656700 B.C. LTD, a British Columbia corporation and sole owner of all issued and outstanding shares of Excell Battery Corporation USA, a Texas corporation (“Excell USA”, and together with Excell Canada, “Excell Battery Group” or “Excell”) (the “Excell USA Acquisition”, and together with the Excell Canada Acquisition, the “Excell Acquisition”).
Based in Canada with U.S. operations, Excell is a leading independent designer and manufacturer of high-performance smart battery systems, battery packs and monitoring systems to customer specifications. Excell serves a variety of industrial markets including downhole drilling, OEM industrial and medical devices, automated meter reading, ruggedized computers, and mining, marine and other mission critical applications which demand uncompromised safety, service, reliability and quality.
The Excell Canada Acquisition was completed pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated December 13, 2021 (the “Excell Canada Acquisition Agreement”) by and among 1336889 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, Mark Kroeker, Randolph Peters, Brian Larsen, M. & W. Holdings Ltd., Karen Kroeker, Heather Peterson, Michael Kroeker, Nicholas Kroeker, Brentley Peters, Craig Peters, Kurtis Peters, Heather Larsen, Ian Kane, Carol Peters, and 0835205 B.C. LTD (the “Excell Canada Sellers”), Mark Kroeker in his capacity as the Excell Canada Sellers’ Representative, and Excell Canada. The Excell USA Acquisition was completed pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated December 13, 2021 (the “Excell USA Acquisition Agreement”, and together with the Excell Canada Acquisition Agreement, the “Excell Acquisition Agreements”) by and among 1336902 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, M. & W. Holdings Ltd., Ian Kane, Sanford Capital Ltd., Arcee Enterprises Inc., and 0835205 B.C. Ltd. (the “Excell USA Sellers”, and together with the Excell Canada Sellers, the “Sellers”), Mark Kroeker in his capacity as the Excell USA Sellers’ Representative, and 656700 B.C. LTD. The Excell Acquisition Agreements contain customary terms and conditions including representations, warranties and indemnification provisions. A portion of the consideration paid to the Sellers is being held in escrow for indemnification purposes for a period of twelve months from the closing date.
The Excell Acquisition was funded by the Company through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Amended Credit Facilities (Note 3).
The Excell Acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the accounting treatment of a business combination pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the separately identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. Management is responsible for determining the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which requires the use of various assumptions and judgments that are inherently subjective. The purchase price allocation presented below reflects all known information about the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is subject to change should additional information existing as of the acquisition date about the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes known. The final purchase price allocation may reflect material changes in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including but not limited to intangible assets, fixed assets, deferred taxes, and residual goodwill.

The purchase price allocation was adjusted during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 to reflect a change in the estimated fair value of certain other intangible assets acquired. The measurement period adjustment resulted in a $
The goodwill included in the Company’s purchase price allocation presented above represents the value of Excell’s assembled and trained workforce, the incremental value that Excell engineering and technology will bring to the Company and the revenue growth which is expected to occur over time which is attributable to increased market penetration from future new products and customers. The goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.
Other intangible assets were valued using the income approach which requires a forecast of all expected future cash flows and the use of certain assumptions and estimates. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value and annual amortization for each of the identifiable intangible assets acquired.

As of December 31, 2021, we have domestic net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $
As of June 30, 2022, for certain past operations in the U.K., we continue to report a valuation allowance for NOL carryforwards of approximately $
As of June 30, 2022, we have recognized a valuation allowance against our other foreign deferred tax assets, as realization is considered to be more likely than not.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company maintains its assertion that all foreign earnings will be indefinitely reinvested in those operations, other than earnings generated in the U.K.
There were unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
As a result of our operations, we file income tax returns in various jurisdictions including U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. We are routinely subject to examination by taxing authorities in these various jurisdictions. In August 2020, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its examination of the Company’s federal tax returns for 2016-2018 with no material adjustments identified. Our U.S. tax matters for 2019-2021 remain subject to IRS examination. Our U.S. tax matters for 2005-2007 and 2011-2015 also remain subject to IRS examination due to the remaining availability of NOL carryforwards generated in those years. Our U.S. tax matters for 2005-2007 and 2011-2021 remain subject to examination by various state and local tax jurisdictions. Our tax matters for the years through 2021 remain subject to examination by the respective foreign tax jurisdiction authorities.

Contingencies and Legal Matters
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business. We believe that the final disposition of any such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, recognizing that legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, there exists the possibility that ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We are not aware of any such situations at this time.

10. |
REVENUE RECOGNITION |
Revenues are generated from the sale of products. Performance obligations are met and revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. When contract terms require transfer of control upon delivery at a customer’s location, revenue is recognized on the date of delivery. For products shipped under vendor managed inventory arrangements, revenue is recognized and billed when the product is consumed by the customer, at which point control has transferred and there are no further obligations by the Company. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for shipped product. Sales, value-added and other taxes billed and collected from customers are excluded from revenue. Customers, including distributors, do not have a general right of return.
Revenues recognized from prior period performance obligations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were not material.
Deferred revenue, unbilled revenue and deferred contract costs recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were not material. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one (1) year. Pursuant to Topic 606, we have applied the practical expedient with respect to disclosure of the deferral and future expected timing of revenue recognition for transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information that are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. The statements contained in this report relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the continued impact of COVID-19 and the related supply chain disruptions on our business, operating results and financial condition; our reliance on certain key customers; reduced U.S. and foreign military spending including the uncertainty associated with government budget approvals; our efforts to develop new commercial applications for our products; fluctuations in the price of oil and the resulting impact on the demand for downhole drilling; the unique risks associated with our China operations; potential disruptions in our supply of raw materials and components; our ability to retain top management and key personnel; possible breaches in information systems security and other disruptions in our information technology systems; our resources being overwhelmed by our growth; possible future declines in demand for the products that use our batteries or communications systems; potential costs attributable to the warranties we supply with our products and services; safety risks, including the risk of fire; variability in our quarterly and annual results and the price of our common stock; our entrance into new end-markets which could lead to additional financial exposure; our inability to comply with changes to the regulations for the shipment of our products; our customers’ demand falling short of volume expectations in our supply agreements; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; negative publicity concerning Lithium-ion batteries; possible impairments of our goodwill and other intangible assets; our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards; the risk that we are unable to protect our proprietary and intellectual property; rules and procedures regarding contracting with the U.S. and foreign governments; exposure to possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act or other anti-corruption laws; known and unknown environmental matters; possible audits of our contracts by the U.S. and foreign governments and their respective defense agencies; our ability to comply with government regulations regarding the use of “conflict minerals”; technological innovations in the non-rechargeable and rechargeable battery industries; and other risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control.

General
We offer products and services ranging from power solutions to communications and electronics systems to customers across the globe in the government, defense and commercial sectors. With an emphasis on strong engineering and a collaborative approach to problem solving, we design and manufacture power and communications systems including: rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, charging systems, communications and electronics systems and accessories, and custom engineered systems related to those product lines. We continually evaluate ways to grow, including the design, development and sale of new products, expansion of our sales force to penetrate new markets and territories, as well as seeking opportunities to expand through acquisitions.
We sell our products worldwide through a variety of trade channels, including original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), industrial and defense supply distributors, and directly to U.S. and foreign defense departments. We enjoy strong name recognition in our markets under our Ultralife® Batteries, Lithium Power®, McDowell Research®, AMTITM, ABLETM, ACCUTRONICS™, ACCUPRO™, ENTELLION™, SWE Southwest Electronic Energy Group™, SWE DRILL-DATA™, SWE SEASAFE™, Excell Battery Group and Criterion Gauge brands. We have sales, operations and product development facilities in North America, Europe and Asia.
We report our results in two operating segments: Battery & Energy Products and Communications Systems. The Battery & Energy Products segment includes: Lithium 9-volt, cylindrical, thin cell and other non-rechargeable batteries, in addition to rechargeable batteries, uninterruptable power supplies, charging systems and accessories. The Communications Systems segment includes: RF amplifiers, power supplies, cable and connector assemblies, amplified speakers, equipment mounts, case equipment, man-portable systems, integrated communication systems for fixed or vehicle applications and communications and electronics systems design. We believe that reporting performance at the gross profit level is the best indicator of segment performance. As such, we report segment performance at the gross profit level and operating expenses as Corporate charges. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Our website address is www.ultralifecorporation.com. We make available free of charge via a hyperlink on our website (see Investor Relations link on the website) our annual reports on Form 10-K, proxy statements, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports and statements as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We will provide copies of these reports upon written request to the attention of Philip A. Fain, CFO, Treasurer and Secretary, Ultralife Corporation, 2000 Technology Parkway, Newark, New York, 14513. Our filings with the SEC are also available through the SEC website at www.sec.gov or at the SEC Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549 or by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant economic disruption and uncertainty around the world. The Company continues to closely monitor the developments surrounding COVID-19 and take actions to mitigate the business risks involved. During this challenging time, we remain focused on ensuring the health and safety of our employees by implementing the protocols established by public health officials and on meeting the demand of our customers. While we have maintained normal business operations at all our facilities with the exception of the well-publicized shutdowns in China which impacted our Shenzhen facility in the first quarter of 2022, the COVID-19 related supply chain disruptions including increased lead times on key components experienced within our business and by our customers, impacted our work schedules and timing of shipments. The continuing impact of these conditions on our business is uncertain and will depend on many evolving factors which we continue to monitor but cannot predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic and its variants, the resulting actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals, and the flow-through impact on operations and supply chains. Potential effects of COVID-19 that may continue to adversely impact our future business include limited availability and/or increased cost of raw materials and components used in our products, reduced demand and/or pricing for our products, inability of our customers to pay for our products or remain solvent, and reduced availability of our workforce. Prolonged adverse effects of COVID-19 on our business could result in the impairment of long-lived assets including goodwill and other intangible assets. Further, we cannot predict all possible adverse effects the COVID-19 pandemic may cause. Consequently, there may be adverse effects in addition to those described above. We will continue to closely monitor the developments surrounding COVID-19 and take actions when possible to mitigate the business risks involved and the potential effects of COVID-19 on our business.
Overview
Consolidated revenues of $32,126 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, increased by $5,356 or 20.0%, over $26,770 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, reflecting the revenues of Excell Battery Group (“Excell”) acquired on December 13, 2021, and increased sales in our medical, industrial, and oil & gas battery markets, partially offset by lower revenues for government/defense which continued to be impacted by supply chain challenges. Excluding Excell, commercial revenues of $18,090 for the quarter-ended June 30, 2022 increased $2,079 or 13.0% over the year-earlier period, and government/defense revenues of $7,444 decreased $3,315 or 30.8% from the 2021 period.
Gross profit was $7,646, or 23.8% of revenue, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $7,267, or 27.1% of revenue, for the same quarter a year ago. The 330-basis point decline primarily reflects the lower sales volume for Communications Systems resulting in lower factory throughput and incremental costs in 2022 associated with supply chain disruptions, including rapid increases in the cost of some key components in advance of price realization from customers, and the transition of new products to higher volume production.
Operating expenses increased to $6,853 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $6,176 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $677 or 11.0% was primarily attributable to our acquisition of Excell which contributed operating expenses of $1,086. Excluding Excell, operating expenses decreased by $409 or 6.6% reflecting the timing of new product development spending, including those costs associated with test materials dedicated to the May 2021 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract from the U.S. Army for purchases of Conformal Wear Batteries not to exceed $168,000 during the three-year base award period with the potential for up to an additional $350,000 should the six one-year options be exercised, and strict control over all discretionary spending. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased 180 basis points from 23.1% for the second quarter of 2021 to 21.3% for the current quarter.
Operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 was $793, or 2.5% of revenues, compared to $1,091, or 4.1% of revenues, for the year-earlier period. The decrease in operating income primarily resulted from lower sales for our Communications Systems segment and a reduction in gross margin due to supply chain disruptions, including rapid increases in the cost of some key components in advance of price realization from customers, partially offset by the operating income generated by Excell and lower operating expenses across our businesses excluding Excell.
Net income attributable to Ultralife was $512, or $0.03 per share – basic and diluted, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to net income attributable to Ultralife of $811, or $0.05 per share – basic and diluted, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income attributable to Ultralife before net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense, plus/minus expenses/income that we do not consider reflective of our ongoing operations, amounted to $2,185, or 6.8% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $2,186, or 8.2% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2021. See the section “Adjusted EBITDA” beginning on Page 25 for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Ultralife.
While we anticipate continuing to contend with inflationary cost pressures and manufacturing inefficiencies associated with supply chain disruptions in the second half of the year, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing our new product development initiatives, transitioning new products to production, and generating profitable growth for the year.
Results of Operations
Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021
Revenues. Consolidated revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 were $32,126, an increase of $5,356, or 20.0%, over $26,770 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. Overall, commercial sales increased 54.2% while government/defense sales decreased 30.8% from the 2021 period. Revenues for the 2022 period include Excell which was acquired by the Company on December 13, 2021.
Battery & Energy Products revenues increased $7,265, or 31.8%, from $22,875 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 to $30,140 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. The increase was attributable to the $6,592 revenue contribution from the acquisition of Excell, and a 13.0% increase in commercial sales excluding Excell, partially offset by a 20.5% reduction in government/defense sales. Net organic sales for this segment increased 3.0%. The increase in commercial sales, excluding Excell, was driven by a 16.3% increase in medical battery sales due to the high demand for our batteries used in ventilators, respirators, infusion pumps and other medical devices, a 14.6% increase in industrial market sales including our new Thionyl Chloride and thin cell battery cells, and a 6.9% increase in oil & gas market sales reflecting the recent rebound in the energy sector. The decline in government/defense sales was primarily due to supply chain disruptions experienced by us and our customers which pushed out sales to future periods.
Communications Systems revenues decreased $1,909, or 49.0%, from $3,895 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 to $1,986 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. This decrease is primarily attributable to supply chain disruptions including extended lead times for components and the push out of certain orders by our customers which delayed approximately $4,100 of sales to future periods and the placement and fulfillment of an order from an international defense contractor in the first quarter of 2021 which is not expected to reoccur until the second half of 2022.
Cost of Products Sold / Gross Profit. Cost of products sold totaled $24,480 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $4,977, or 25.5%, from the $19,503 reported for the same three-month period a year ago. Consolidated cost of products sold as a percentage of total revenue increased from 72.9% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 to 76.2% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. Correspondingly, consolidated gross margin decreased from 27.1% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, to 23.8% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, primarily reflecting lower factory volume for our Communications Systems segment, incremental costs in 2022 associated with supply chain disruptions, including rapid increases in the cost of some key components in advance of price realization from customers, and the transition of new products to higher volume production.
For our Battery & Energy Products segment, gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 was $7,151, an increase of $1,135 or 18.9% over gross profit of $6,016 for the second quarter of 2021. Battery & Energy Products’ gross margin of 23.7% decreased by 260 basis points from the 26.3% gross margin for the year-earlier period, reflecting sales mix, higher materials and logistics costs on incoming materials in advance of price realization from customers, and incremental costs associated with the transition of new products to higher volume production.
For our Communications Systems segment, gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 was $495 or 24.9% of revenues, compared to gross profit of $1,251 or 32.1% of revenues, for the second quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily due to lower factory volume resulting in the under-absorption of factory costs and unfavorable sales mix.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 were $6,853, an increase of $677 or 11.0% from the $6,176 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Excell, which contributed operating expenses of $1,086 in the second quarter, including $182 of intangible asset amortization. Excluding Excell, operating expenses decreased $409 or 6.6% due to the timing of new product development spending, including those costs associated with test materials dedicated to the May 2021 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract from the U.S. Army for purchases of Conformal Wear Batteries not to exceed $168,000 during the three-year base award period with the potential for up to an additional $350,000 should the six one-year options be exercised. Both periods reflected continued tight control over discretionary spending.
Overall, operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 21.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to 23.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Amortization expense associated with intangible assets related to our acquisitions was $323 for the second quarter of 2022 ($298 in selling, general and administrative expenses and $25 in research and development costs), compared with $156 for the second quarter of 2021 ($123 in selling, general, and administrative expenses and $33 in research and development costs). Research and development costs were $1,672 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $181 or 9.7%, from $1,853 for the three-months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is largely attributable to the timing of the purchase of test materials to support new product development in our Battery & Energy Products business, including those resources and materials dedicated to our Conformal Wearable Battery contract. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $858 or 19.8%, to $5,181 for the second quarter of 2022 from $4,323 for the second quarter of 2021. The increase is attributable to the December 2021 acquisition of Excell which contributed $1,000 of selling, general and administrative expenses, including intangible asset amortization of $182, for the second quarter of 2022.
Other Expense. Other expense totaled $115 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to $21 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. Interest and financing expense increased $122, or 221.8%, from $55 for the second quarter of 2021 to $177 for the second quarter of 2022. The increase is due to the financing of the Excell Acquisition. Miscellaneous income amounted to $62 for the second quarter of 2022 compared with $34 for the second quarter of 2021, primarily representing foreign currency exchange gains and losses on U.S.-denominated transactions and balances of our non-U.S. businesses.
Income Taxes. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, Ultralife recognized an income tax provision of $170, comprised of a $143 current provision for taxes expected to be paid on income primarily from our non-U.S. operations, and a $27 deferred provision, compared to a tax provision of $248 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, comprised of a current provision of $71 and a deferred provision of $177. Our effective tax rate was 25.1% for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 23.2% for the second quarter of 2021, primarily attributable to the geographic mix of our operating results, including income generated in Canada by Excell for the current year. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Net Income Attributable to Ultralife. Net income attributable to Ultralife was $512, or $0.03 per share – basic and diluted, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to net income of $811, or $0.05 per share – basic and diluted, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. Weighted average shares outstanding used to compute diluted earnings per share decreased from 16,259,584 for the second quarter of 2021 to 16,149,278 for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease is attributable to stock option exercises since the second quarter of 2021 offset by a decrease in the average stock price used to compute diluted shares from $8.66 for the second quarter of 2021 to $4.93 for the second quarter of 2022. Accordingly diluted shares of 240,259 were added to basic weighted average shares in 2021 compared to 20,352 in 2022.
Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021
Revenues. Consolidated revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 were $62,499, an increase of $9,756, or 18.5%, over $52,743 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. Overall, commercial sales increased 55.7% while government/defense sales decreased 32.0% from the 2021 period. Revenues for the 2022 period include Excell which was acquired by the Company on December 13, 2021.
Battery & Energy Products revenues increased $14,304, or 31.8%, from $44,986 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 to $59,290 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. The increase was attributable to the $13,028 revenue contribution from the acquisition of Excell, and a 12.8% increase in commercial sales excluding Excell, partially offset by a 17.9% reduction in government/defense sales. The increase in commercial sales, excluding Excell, was driven by a 13.8% increase in industrial market sales including our new Thionyl Chloride and thin cell battery cells, a 12.8% increase in oil & gas market sales reflecting the recent rebound in the energy sector, and a 12.7% increase in medical battery sales due to the high demand for our batteries used in ventilators, respirators, infusion pumps and other medical devices. The decline in government/defense sales was primarily due to supply chain disruptions experienced internally and by our customers which pushed out sales to future periods.
Communications Systems revenues decreased $4,548, or 58.6%, from $7,757 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 to $3,209 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. This decrease is primarily attributable to supply chain disruptions including extended lead times for components and the push out of certain orders by our customers to future periods and the placement and fulfillment of an order from an international defense contractor in the first quarter of 2021 which is not expected to reoccur until the second half of 2022.
Cost of Products Sold / Gross Profit. Cost of products sold totaled $47,895 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $9,397, or 24.4%, from the $38,498 reported for the same six-month period a year ago. Consolidated cost of products sold as a percentage of total revenue increased from 73.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 to 76.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. Correspondingly, consolidated gross margin decreased from 27.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, to 23.4% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, primarily reflecting lower factory volume for our Communications Systems segment, incremental costs in 2022 associated with supply chain disruptions, including rapid increases in the cost of some key components in advance of price realization from customers, and the transition of new products to higher volume production.
For our Battery & Energy Products segment, gross profit for the first six months of 2022 was $13,872, an increase of $2,420 or 21.1% over gross profit of $11,452 for the comparable 2021 period. Battery & Energy Products’ gross margin of 23.4% decreased by 210 basis points from the 25.5% gross margin for the year-earlier period, reflecting sales mix, higher materials and logistics costs on incoming materials in advance of price realization from customers, and incremental costs associated with the transition of new products to higher volume production.
For our Communications Systems segment, gross profit for the first six months of 2022 was $732 or 22.8% of revenues, compared to gross profit of $2,793 or 36.0% of revenues, for the comparable 2021 period. The decline was primarily due to lower factory volume resulting in the under-absorption of factory costs and unfavorable sales mix.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 were $14,106, an increase of $1,904 or 15.6% from the $12,202 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Excell, which contributed operating expenses of $2,143 for the first six months of 2022, including $364 of intangible asset amortization and one-time acquisition costs of $70. Excluding Excell, operating expenses decreased $239 or 2.0% due to the timing of new product development spending, including those costs associated with test materials dedicated to the May 2021 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract from the U.S. Army for purchases of Conformal Wear Batteries not to exceed $168,000 during the three-year base award period with the potential for up to an additional $350,000 should the six one-year options be exercised. Both periods reflected continued tight control over discretionary spending.
Overall, operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 22.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to 23.1% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. Amortization expense associated with intangible assets related to our acquisitions was $651 for the first six months of 2022 ($600 in selling, general and administrative expenses and $51 in research and development costs), compared with $310 for the first six months of 2021 ($244 in selling, general, and administrative expenses and $66 in research and development costs). Research and development costs were $3,529 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $29 or 0.8%, from $3,500 for the six-months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is largely attributable to our acquisition of Excell and the timing of the purchase of test materials to support new product development in our Battery & Energy Products business, including those resources and materials dedicated to our Conformal Wearable Battery contract. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $1,875 or 21.5%, to $10,577 for the first six months of 2022 from $8,702 for the comparable 2021 period. The increase is attributable to the December 2021 acquisition of Excell which contributed $1,985 of selling, general and administrative expenses, including intangible asset amortization of $363, for the 2022 period.
Other Expense. Other expense totaled $232 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to $77 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. Interest and financing expense increased $200, or 180.2%, from $111 for the first six months of 2021 to $311 for the first six months of 2022. The increase is due to the financing of the Excell Acquisition. Miscellaneous income amounted to $79 for the first six months of 2022 compared with $34 for the 2021 period, primarily representing foreign currency exchange gains and losses on U.S.-denominated transactions and balances of our non-U.S. businesses.
Income Taxes. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, Ultralife recognized an income tax benefit of $81, comprised of a $294 current provision for taxes expected to be paid on income primarily from our non-U.S. operations, and a $375 deferred benefit, compared to a tax provision of $465 for the prior year same period, comprised of a current provision of $120 and a deferred provision of $345. Our effective tax rate was (30.5%) for the first half of 2022 as compared to 23.7% for the first half of 2021, primarily attributable to the geographic mix of our operating results, including income generated in Canada by Excell for the current year. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Net Income Attributable to Ultralife. Net income attributable to Ultralife was $344, or $0.02 per share – basic and diluted, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,482, or $0.09 per share – basic and diluted, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. Weighted average shares outstanding used to compute diluted earnings per share decreased from 16,194,377 for the 2021 period to 16,141,083 for 2022. The decrease is attributable to stock option exercises since the second quarter of 2021 offset by a decrease in the average stock price used to compute diluted shares from $7.89 for the first six months of 2021 to $5.11 for the first six months of 2022. Accordingly diluted shares of 197,848 were added to basic weighted average shares in 2021 compared to 24,751 in 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA
In evaluating our business, we consider and use Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Ultralife before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense, plus/minus expense/income that we do not consider reflective of our ongoing continuing operations. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess our operating performance and to enhance comparability between periods. We believe the use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors’ understanding of operating performance from period to period by backing out potential differences caused by variations in such items as capital structures (affecting relative interest expense and stock-based compensation expense), the amortization of intangible assets acquired through our business acquisitions (affecting relative amortization expense and provision (benefit) for income taxes), the age and book value of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense) and one-time charges/benefits relating to income taxes. We also present Adjusted EBITDA from operations because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance. We reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Ultralife, the most comparable financial measure under GAAP.
We use Adjusted EBITDA in our decision-making processes relating to the operation of our business together with GAAP financial measures such as operating income (loss). We believe that Adjusted EBITDA permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance, relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of depreciation and amortization, which may vary from period to period without any correlation to underlying operating performance, and of stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense that varies widely among companies. We believe that by presenting Adjusted EBITDA, we assist investors in gaining a better understanding of our business on a going forward basis. We provide information relating to our Adjusted EBITDA so that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties have the same data that we employ in assessing our overall operations. We believe that trends in our Adjusted EBITDA are a valuable indicator of our operating performance on a consolidated basis and of our ability to produce operating cash flows to fund working capital needs, to service debt obligations and to fund capital expenditures.
The term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under GAAP, and is not a measure of operating income (loss), operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to Ultralife or other consolidated statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (1) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (2) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (3) the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (4) income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments; and (5) all of the costs associated with operating our business; |
|
● |
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
|
● |
While stock-based compensation is a component of cost of products sold and operating expenses, the impact on our consolidated financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as assumed life of the stock-based awards and assumed volatility of our common stock; and |
|
● |
Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only on a supplemental basis. Neither current nor potential investors in our securities should rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a substitute for any GAAP measures and we encourage investors to review the following reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Ultralife.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows for the periods presented:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, cash on hand totaled $5,114 (including restricted cash of $77), a decrease of $3,299 as compared to $8,413 as of December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to the procurement of inventory to enhance our ability to service orders requested by customers to ship in 2022 amidst challenging supply chain conditions.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operations was $3,400, as compared to $6,955 generated from operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. For the 2022 period, we used cash of $6,606 to procure inventory to proactively manage our supply chain, reduce lead times and the impact of potential cost increases on components and raw materials, and enhance our position to service customer orders. The increase in inventory and the timing of sales, collections and disbursements resulted in net cash of $6,048 used for working capital, which was partially offset by net income of $347 and non-cash expenses totaling $2,301 for depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and deferred taxes.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $585 for capital expenditures, reflecting investments in equipment for new products transitioning to high-volume manufacturing.
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $794, consisting of draws from our credit facility for the purchase of certain critical raw materials requiring cash-in-advance payment terms by the vendors, plus $102 in net proceeds on stock-based awards, partially offset by $833 of principle payments on our term loan.
We continue to have significant U.S. net operating loss carryforwards available to utilize as an offset to future taxable income. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
Going forward, we expect positive operating cash flow and the availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our general funding requirements for the foreseeable future.
To provide flexibility in accessing the capital market, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 on March 30, 2021, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 2, 2021. Under this registration statement, upon the filing of an appropriate supplemental prospectus, we may offer and sell certain of our securities from time to time in one (1) or more offerings, at our discretion, of up to an aggregate offering price of $100 million. We intend to use the net proceeds resulting from any sales of our securities for general corporate purposes which may include, but are not limited to, potential acquisitions of complementary businesses or technologies, strategic capital expenditures to expand and protect our competitive position, and investments in the development of transformational, competitively-differentiated products for attractive growth markets.
Commitments
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $12,530 outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and $9,167 on the Term Loan Facility. The Company was in full compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facilities as of June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, we had made commitments to purchase approximately $697 of production machinery and equipment.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management exercises judgment in making important decisions pertaining to choosing and applying accounting policies and methodologies in many areas. Not only are these decisions necessary to comply with GAAP, but they also reflect management’s view of the most appropriate manner in which to record and report our overall financial performance. All accounting policies are important, and all policies described in Note 1 (“Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies”) to the consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be reviewed for a greater understanding of how our financial performance is recorded and reported.
During the first six months of 2022, there were no significant changes in the manner in which our significant accounting policies were applied or in which related assumptions and estimates were developed.
