TOOTSIE ROLL INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands except per share amounts) (Unaudited)
iNote 1 — Significant Accounting Policies
iGeneral Information
Foregoing data has been prepared from the unaudited financial records of Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) and in the opinion of Management all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been reflected. Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).
Results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year to end December 31, 2021 because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s operations. Historically, the third quarter has been the Company’s largest net product sales quarter due to pre-Halloween net product sales.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the recent novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic. The Company continues to actively monitor COVID-19 and its potential impact on our operations and financial results. The impact that COVID-19 will have on our consolidated financial statements throughout 2022 and beyond remains uncertain and ultimately will be dictated by the length and severity of the pandemic and Covid-19 variants, the pace of the “reopening” of the economy and economic recovery, and federal, state, local and foreign government actions taken in response. The effects of Covid-19 pandemic are unprecedented, and therefore the Company is unable to determine its effects on its net product sales and net earnings for the balance of 2022 and beyond.
iRevenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues, primarily net product sales, principally resulting from the sale of goods, reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled generally based on customer purchase orders. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 which became effective January 1, 2018. Adjustments for estimated customer cash discounts upon payment, discounts for price adjustments, product returns, allowances, and certain advertising and promotional costs, including consumer coupons, are variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction of net product sales revenue in the same period the related net product sales are recorded. Such estimates are calculated using historical averages adjusted for any expected changes due to current business conditions and experience. A net product sale is recorded when the Company delivers the product to the customer, or in certain instances, the customer picks up the goods at the Company’s distribution center, and thereby obtains control of such product. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as accounts receivable trade on the balance sheet and require payment on a short-term basis. Accounts receivable trade are unsecured. Shipping and handling costs of $ i 14,156 and $ i 12,437 in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $ i 30,694 and $ i 22,576 in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively, are included in selling, marketing and administrative expenses. A minor amount of royalty income (less than i 0.2% of our consolidated net product sales) is also recognized from sales-based licensing arrangements, pursuant to which revenue is recognized as the third-party licensee sales occur. Rental income (approximately i 1% of our consolidated net product sales) is not considered revenue from contracts from customers.
/
iLeases
The Company identifies leases by evaluating its contracts to determine if the contract conveys the right to use an identified asset for a stated period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company considers whether it can control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits or outputs from the
/8
asset. Leases with terms greater than 12 months are classified as either operating or finance leases at the commencement date. For these leases, we capitalize the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term as a right-of-use asset with an offsetting lease liability. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments is typically our incremental borrowing rate, as the rate implicit in the lease is generally not known or determinable. The lease term includes any noncancelable period for which the Company has the right to use the asset. Currently, all capitalized leases are classified as operating leases and the Company records rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
iRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
As of the date of this report, there are no recent accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted that Management believes would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
iNote 2 — Average Shares Outstanding
The average number of shares outstanding for six months 2022 reflects aggregate stock purchases of i 145 shares for $ i 5,023 and a i 3% stock dividend of i 2,006 shares distributed on April 8, 2022. The average number of shares outstanding for six months 2021 reflects aggregate stock purchases of i 536 shares for $ i 17,181 and a i 3% stock dividend of i 1,970 shares distributed on April 2, 2021.
/
iNote 3 — Income Taxes
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company remains subject to examination by U.S. federal and state and foreign tax authorities for the years 2018 through 2020. The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate was i 24.4% and i 25.5% in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, and i 24.2% and i 24.9% in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively.

iNote 5 — Fair Value Measurements
Current accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received on the sale of an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Guidance requires disclosure of the extent to which fair value is used to measure financial assets and liabilities, the inputs utilized in calculating valuation measurements, and the effect of the measurement of significant unobservable inputs on earnings, or changes in net assets, as of the measurement date. Guidance establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs utilized in the measurement and valuation of financial assets or liabilities as of the measurement date. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include Management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The use of observable and unobservable inputs is reflected in the hierarchy assessment disclosed in the table below.
10
As of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company held certain financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included derivative hedging instruments related to the purchase of certain raw materials and foreign currencies, investments in trading securities and available for sale securities. The Company’s available for sale securities principally consist of corporate bonds.
The fair value of the Company’s industrial revenue development bonds at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 were valued using Level 2 inputs which approximates the carrying value of $ i i i 7,500 / / for the respective periods. Interest rates on these bonds are reset weekly based on current market conditions.
11
The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value:

iNote 6 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
From time to time, the Company uses derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts and commodity futures contracts to manage its exposures to foreign exchange and commodity prices. Commodity futures contracts are intended and effective as hedges of market price risks associated with the anticipated purchase of certain raw materials (primarily sugar). Foreign currency forward contracts are intended and effective as hedges of the Company’s exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to the foreign exchange rate changes of products manufactured in Canada and sold in the United States, and periodic equipment purchases from foreign suppliers denominated in a foreign currency. The Company does not engage in trading or other speculative use of derivative instruments.
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Derivative assets are recorded in other receivables and derivative liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities. The Company uses hedge accounting for its foreign currency and commodity derivative instruments as discussed above. Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges by formally documenting the hedge relationships, including identification of the hedging
12
instruments, the hedged items and other critical terms, as well as the Company’s risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction.
Changes in the fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and are reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. Substantially all amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss for commodity derivatives are expected to be reclassified to cost of goods sold. Approximately $ i 102 and $( i 2) of this accumulated comprehensive gain (loss) is expected to be reclassified to earnings in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Approximately $ i 162 and $ i 3 reported in accumulated other comprehensive gain for foreign currency derivatives are expected to be reclassified to other income, net in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts and their effects on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021:

Note 7 — Pension Plans
Beginning in 2012, the Company received periodic notices from the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund (Plan), a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for certain Company union employees, that the Plan’s actuary certified the Plan to be in “critical status”, as defined by the Pension Protection Act (PPA) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC); and that a plan of rehabilitation was adopted by the trustees of the Plan in 2012. Beginning in 2015, the Plan was reclassified to “critical and declining status”, as defined by the PPA and PBGC, for the plan year beginning January 1, 2015. A designation of “critical and declining status” implies that the Plan is expected to become insolvent in the next i i 20 years / . In 2016, the Company received new notices that the Plan’s trustees adopted an updated Rehabilitation Plan effective January 1, 2016, and all annual notices through 2021 have continued to classify the Plan in the “critical and declining status” category.
The Company has been advised that its withdrawal liability would have been $ i 104,300, $ i 99,300 and $ i 99,800 if it had withdrawn from the Plan during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Should the Company actually withdraw from the Plan at a future date, a withdrawal liability, which could be higher than the above discussed amounts, could be payable to the Plan.
The amended rehabilitation plan, which continues, requires that employer contributions include i 5% compounded annual surcharge increases each year for an unspecified period of time beginning January 2013 (in addition to the i 5% interim surcharge initiated in 2012) as well as certain plan benefit reductions. In fourth quarter 2020, the Plan Trustees advised the Company that the surcharges would no longer increase and therefore be “frozen” at the rates and amounts in effect as of December 31, 2020 provided that the local bargaining union and the Company executed a formal consenting agreement by March 31, 2021. During first quarter 2021, the local bargaining union and the Company executed this agreement which resulted in the “freezing” of such surcharges as of December 31, 2020. The Company’s pension expense for this Plan for first half 2022 and 2021 was $ i 1,822 and $ i 1,557, respectively. The aforementioned expense includes surcharges of $ i 642 and $ i 549 for first half 2022 and 2021, respectively, as required under the amended plan of rehabilitation. The Company’s pension expense for this Plan for 2021 and 2020 was $ i 3,156 and $ i 2,866, respectively, which includes surcharges of $ i 1,112 and $ i 1,010, respectively.
The Company is currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the above discussed matter and therefore is unable to determine the effects on its consolidated financial statements, but the ultimate outcome or the effects of any modifications to the current amended rehabilitation plan could be material to its consolidated results of operations or cash flows in one or more future periods.

/ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This financial review discusses the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources and other matters. Dollars are presented in thousands, except per share amounts. This review should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q and with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and Management’s
17
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).
Net product sales were $142,081 in second quarter 2022 compared to $114,560 in second quarter 2021, an increase of $27,521 or 24.0%. First half 2022 net product sales were $281,372 compared to $216,355 in first half 2021, an increase of $65,017 or 30.1%. Domestic (U.S.) net product sales in second quarter and first half 2022 increased 26.1% and 32.1%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, and, foreign net product sales, including exports to foreign markets, increased 3.8% and 10.1%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. For the second quarter and first half 2022, domestic sales represented 92.0% and 92.2%, respectively, of total consolidated net product sales.
The sales growth in second quarter and first half 2022 sales was driven by an overall increase in demand and reflects effective sales and marketing programs. The Company had continuing improvement in customer orders and sales throughout 2021 and into first half 2022 as consumers returned to more activities and lifestyles that they experienced prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. These activities include planned purchases of the Company’s products for “sharing” and “give-a-way” occasions. Many of the Company’s products are consumed at group events, outings, and other gatherings which had been significantly curtailed or in some cases eliminated in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Both second quarter and first half 2022 sales also benefited from the timing of some sales which were rescheduled from the preceding periods due to some supply chain and manufacturing delays that we experienced. Second quarter and first half 2022 sales also exceeded second quarter and first half 2019 sales by 34% and 36%, respectively, which provides a sales comparison prior to the pandemic.
Although higher second quarter and first half 2022 sales contributed to improved net earnings compared to corresponding prior year periods in 2021, significantly higher input costs mitigated much of the benefits of these increased sales. When compared to these prior year periods, second quarter and first half 2022 gross profit margins and net earnings were adversely affected by significantly higher costs for ingredients, packaging materials, freight and delivery, and many manufacturing supplies and services. We also incurred additional costs, including overtime and extended operating shifts for plant manufacturing, to meet higher demand.
Product cost of goods sold were $95,402 in second quarter 2022 compared to $75,948 in second quarter 2021, and first half 2022 product cost of goods sold were $187,752 compared to $141,513 in first half 2021. Product cost of goods sold includes $(865) and $263 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $(1,134) and $416 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively. These deferred compensation expenses (credits) principally result from the changes in the market value of investments and investment income from trading securities relating to compensation deferred in previous years and are not reflective of current operating results. Adjusting for the aforementioned, product cost of goods sold increased from $75,685 in second quarter 2021 to $96,267 in second quarter 2022, an increase of $20,582 or 27.2%; and increased from $141,097 in first half 2021 to $188,886 in first half 2022, an increase of $47,789 or 33.9%. As a percentage of net product sales, adjusted product cost of goods sold was 67.8% and 66.1% in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, an unfavorable increase of 1.7 percentage points; and adjusted product cost of goods sold was 67.1% and 65.2% in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively, an unfavorable increase of 1.9 percentage points. Second quarter and first half 2022 adjusted product cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales were adversely affected by increasing costs for ingredients, packaging materials, certain manufacturing supplies and services, and plant utilities as discussed below.
The Company’s product cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales were adversely affected by increasing costs for ingredients, packaging materials and manufacturing supplies and services as most of our supply contracts expired at the end of 2021 and new supply agreements at higher prices became effective in early 2022. In certain instances, we have expanded our annual commitments for some ingredients from our suppliers to meet higher demand, however, certain markets are very tight and this incremental expansion has and will continue to result in even higher unit costs for these additional materials. Supply chain challenges and limited availability of certain ingredients and materials, as well as generally higher commodity markets, are driving up our costs for many key ingredients and materials. The adverse effects of higher energy costs, including higher fuel surcharges, have added to our input costs on both customer and supplier freight and delivery in 2022. These higher energy costs have also increased our costs for utilities to operate our manufacturing plants this year. We expect these higher input costs to continue through the balance of 2022 and are seeing even higher overall costs for ingredients and materials in 2023. Although the above discussed higher
18
costs for ingredients and packaging materials adversely affected results for second quarter and first half 2022, higher volumes did provide some benefit as certain plant manufacturing overhead costs are generally fixed and do not change significantly when volume increases.
Our supply chain has continued to be extremely challenging in 2022, as our supplier lead times have expanded greatly, or our suppliers have been unable to meet promised delivery dates, some of which is due to rail and truck delivery limitations and constraints. In some cases, we are unable to secure timely delivery of additional ingredients and packaging materials to meet our higher demand in 2022, and therefore, are limiting our customer sales order volumes of some products. Company Management is continuing to focus on the supply chain and possible delays and disruptions, but this area continues to have much less predictability compared to past history. Although we are cautiously optimistic, it is possible that supply chain disruptions could result in the temporary shut-down of one or more manufacturing lines resulting in lost sales and profits in 2022. The Company has been able to meet substantially all of its labor needs to date for our seasonal increases in production and we believe that we will meet this challenge in 2022, but again, the current tight labor market has created more uncertainty than in the past.
Certain cost and expense reductions, which include Company initiatives to reduce costs, mitigated some of the cost increase in adjusted product cost of goods sold in second quarter and first half 2022 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company is focused on the longer term and therefore is continuing to make investments in plant manufacturing operations to meet new consumer and customer product demands, achieve product quality improvements, and increase operational efficiencies in order to provide genuine value to consumers.
Selling, marketing and administrative expenses were $20,674 in second quarter 2022 compared to $32,378 in second quarter 2021, and first half 2022 selling, marketing and administrative expenses were $47,747 compared to $59,187 in first half 2021. Selling, marketing and administrative expenses include $(11,693) and $5,208 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $(17,029) and $8,244 of certain deferred compensation expenses in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively. As discussed above, these expenses (credits) principally result from changes in the market value of investments and investment income from trading securities relating to compensation deferred in previous years, and are not reflective of current operating results. Adjusting for the aforementioned deferred compensation expenses (credits), selling, marketing and administrative expenses increased from $27,170 in second quarter 2021 to $32,367 in second quarter 2022, an increase of $5,197 or 19.1%; and selling, marketing and administrative expenses increased from $50,943 in first half 2021 to $64,776 in first half 2022 an increase of $13,833 or 27.2%. As a percentage of net product sales, adjusted selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased from 23.7% in second quarter 2021 to 22.8% in second quarter 2022, a favorable decrease of 0.9 percentage points as a percent of net product sales, and adjusted selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased from 23.5% in first half 2021 to 23.0% in first half 2022, a favorable decrease of 0.5 percentage points as a percent of net sales. The aforementioned more favorable expenses as a percentage of sales reflect the benefits of higher sales against certain expenses that are generally fixed and do not change significantly with changes in sales volumes.
Selling, marketing and administrative expenses include $14,156 and $12,437 for customer freight, delivery and warehousing expenses in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $1,719 or 13.8%, and $30,694 and $22,576 in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $8,118 or 36.0%. These expenses were 10.0% and 10.9% of net product sales in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, and were 10.9% and 10.4% of net product sales in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively. The aforementioned increase in first half 2022 expense principally reflects increasing costs for over-the-road carriers relating to customer freight and delivery, including higher diesel fuel prices which are passed on to us in higher fuel surcharges. Labor shortages in the trucking industry have also are contributed to higher freight and delivery costs in first half 2022.
Earnings from operations were $26,978 in second quarter 2022 compared to $6,904 in second quarter 2021, and were $47,813 in first half 2022 compared to $17,314 in first half 2021. Earnings from operations include $(12,558) and $5,471 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, and include $(18,163) and $8,660 of certain deferred compensation expenses (credits) in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively, which is discussed above. Adjusting for these deferred compensation costs and expenses (credits), adjusted earnings from operations were $14,420 and $12,375 in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $2,045 or 16.5%; and adjusted operating earnings were $29,650 and $25,974 in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $3,676 or 14.2%. As a percentage of net product sales, these adjusted operating earnings were 10.1% and
19
10.8% in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, an unfavorable decrease of 0.7 percentage points; and as a percentage of net product sales, these adjusted operating earnings were 10.5% and 12.0% in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively, an unfavorable decrease of 1.5 percentage points as a percentage of net product sales. Although higher second quarter and first half 2022 sales contributed to improved operating earnings compared to the corresponding prior year periods, higher input costs, as discussed above, mitigated much of the benefits of increased sales. The Company uses the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) method of accounting for inventory and costs of goods sold which results in lower current income taxes during such periods of increasing costs, but this method does charge the most current costs to cost of goods sold and thereby accelerates the realization of these higher costs. Although the LIFO method generally provides higher current income tax benefits, this acceleration of increasing costs does adversely impact reported results until such time as costs stabilize or decrease.
In response to these higher input costs many companies in the consumer products industry have announced increases in selling prices. We have followed with price increases as well with the objective of improving sales price realization and restoring some of our margin declines. Price increases were phased in principally during fourth quarter 2021 and first quarter 2022. Although our price increases generally reflect the overall price increases in our industry, they have not resulted in restoring our margins to historical levels. The Company has observed that the confectionary industry is currently pursuing additional price increases to offset continuing increases in input costs, and we will be pursuing further pricing actions as well. Although the Company continues to monitor these higher input costs and price increases in the industry, we are mindful of the effects and limits of passing on all of the above discussed higher input costs to consumers of our products.
Management believes the comparisons presented in the preceding paragraphs, after adjusting for changes in deferred compensation, are more reflective of the underlying operations of the Company.
Other income (loss), net was $(11,137) in second quarter 2022 compared to $6,244 in second quarter 2021, and $(16,153) in first half 2022 compared to $10,060 in first half 2021. Other income, net for second quarter 2022 and 2021 includes net gains (losses) and investment income of $(12,558) and $5,471, respectively, on trading securities which provide an economic hedge of the Company’s deferred compensation liabilities; and other income, net for first half 2022 and 2021 includes net gains (losses) and investment income of $(18,163) and $8,660, respectively, on trading securities. The aforementioned investment losses in second quarter and first half 2022 reflect the overall declines in the equity markets during these periods. These changes in market values were substantially offset by a like amount of deferred compensation expense included in product cost of goods sold and selling, marketing, and administrative expenses in the respective periods as discussed above.
Other income (loss), net for second quarter 2022 and 2021 includes investment income on available for sale securities of $513 and $670 in 2022 and 2021, respectively; and other income, net for first half 2022 and 2021 includes investment income on available for sale securities of $1,069 and $1,386 in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other income (loss), net also includes pre-tax gain (loss) on foreign exchange of $662 and $(268) in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $510 and $(235) in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The consolidated effective tax rates were 24.4% and 25.5% in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 24.2% and 24.9% in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Net earnings attributable to Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. were $11,989 (after $8 net loss attributed to non-controlling interests) in second quarter 2022 compared to $9,794 (after $2 net loss attributed to non-controlling interests) in second quarter 2021, and earnings per share were $0.17 and $0.14 in second quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $0.03 per share, or 21.4%. First half 2022 net earnings attributable to Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. were $24,016 (after $16 net loss attributed to non-controlling interests) compared to first half 2021 net earnings of $20,561 (after $6 net loss attributed to non-controlling interests), and net earnings per share were $0.35 and $0.29 in first half 2022 and first half 2021, respectively, an increase of $0.06 per share or 20.7%. Earnings per share attributable to Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. for second quarter 2022 and first half benefited from the reduction in average shares outstanding resulting from purchases in the open market by the Company of its common stock. Average shares outstanding decreased from 69,570 at second quarter 2021 to 68,945 at second quarter 2022, and from 69,712 in first half 2021 to 68,989 in first half 2022.

Goodwill and intangibles, principally trademarks, are assessed annually as of December 31 or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable from future cash flows. The Company has not identified any triggering events, as defined, or other adverse information that would indicate a material impairment of its goodwill or intangibles in first half 2022. Although Company management has not identified any trigging events at this time relating to its intangibles, the ultimate effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, including possible longer term effects on consumer lifestyles and behavior, could change this assessment in the future, as outlined in the Company’s risk factors discussed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Beginning in 2012, the Company received periodic notices from the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund (Plan), a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for certain Company union employees, that the Plan’s actuary certified the Plan to be in “critical status”, as defined by the Pension Protection Act (PPA) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC); and that a plan of rehabilitation was adopted by the trustees of the Plan in 2012. The Plan’s status was changed to “critical and declining status”, as defined by the PPA and PBGC, for the plan year beginning January 1, 2015, and this status continues to date. A designation of “critical and declining status” implies that the Plan is expected to become insolvent in the next 20 years.
Based on these updated notices, the Plan’s funded percentage (plan investment assets as a percentage of plan liabilities), as defined, were 48.5%, 48.3%, and 50.4% as of the most recent valuation dates available, January 1, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively (these valuation dates are as of the beginning of each Plan year). These funded percentages are based on actuarial values, as defined, and do not reflect the actual market value of Plan investments as of these dates. If the market value of investments had been used as of January 1, 2021 the funded percentage would be 52.8% (not 48.5%). As of the January 1, 2021 valuation date (most recent valuation available), only 15% of Plan participants were current active employees, 54% were retired or separated from service and receiving benefits, and 31% were retired or separated from service and entitled to future benefits. The number of current active employee Plan participants as of January 1, 2021 fell 6% from the previous year and 10% over the past two years. When compared to the Plan valuation date of January 1, 2011 (just prior to the Plan being certified to be in “critical status”), current active employee participants have declined 52%, whereas participants who were retired or separated from service and receiving benefits increased 3% and participants who were retired or separated from service and entitled to future benefits increased 10%.
The Company has been advised that its withdrawal liability would have been $104,300, $99,300 and $99,800 if it had withdrawn from the Plan during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s relative share of the Plan’s contribution base, driven by employer withdrawals, has increased for the last several years, and management believes that this trend could continue indefinitely which will continue to add upward pressure on the Company’s withdrawal liability. Based on the above, including the Plan’s projected insolvency in the future, Management believes that the Company’s withdrawal liability could increase further in future years.
Based on the Company’s updated actuarial study and certain provisions in ERISA and the law relating to withdrawal liability payments, management believes that the Company’s liability would likely be limited to twenty annual payments of $2,793 which have a present value in the range of $32,800 to $46,600 depending on the interest rate used to discount these payments. While the Company’s actuarial consultant does not believe that the Plan will suffer a future mass withdrawal (as defined) of participating employers, in the event of a mass withdrawal, the Company’s annual withdrawal payments would theoretically be payable in perpetuity. Based on the Company’s updated actuarial study, the present value of such perpetuities is in the range of $45,764 to $142,447 and would apply in the unlikely event that substantially all employers withdraw from the Plan. The aforementioned is based on a range of valuations and interest rates which the Company’s actuary has advised is provided under the statute. Should the Company actually withdraw from the Plan at a future date, a withdrawal liability, which could be higher than the above discussed amounts, could be payable to the Plan.
The Company’s union contract requires that the Company continue its participation in this Plan through September 2022, the expiration of the current union contract. The amended rehabilitation plan, which also continues, required that employer contributions include 5% compounded annual surcharge increases each year for an unspecified period of time beginning in 2012 as well as certain plan benefit reductions. In fourth quarter 2020, the Plan Trustees advised the Company that the surcharges would no longer increase annually and therefore be “frozen” at the rates and amounts in effect as of December 31, 2020 provided that the local bargaining union and the Company executed a formal consent agreement by March 31, 2021. The Trustees advised that they have concluded that continuing increases in surcharges
21
would likely have a long-term adverse effect on the solvency of the Plan. The Trustees concluded that further increases would result in increasing financial hardships and withdrawals of participating employers, and that this change will not have a material effect on the Plan’s insolvency date. In first quarter 2021, the local bargaining union and the Company executed this agreement which resulted in the “freezing” of such surcharges as of December 31, 2020.
The Plan recently advised the Company that it will be applying for benefits available to financial troubled plans under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Company management understands that this legislation would provide financial assistance from the PBGC to shore up financially distressed multi-employer plans to ensure that they can remain solvent and continue to pay benefits to retirees through 2051 without any reduction in retiree benefits. Nonetheless, the Company’s actuary believes that given the Plan’s projected insolvency date of 2031 as well as other factors, that it still remains unclear if the Plan can remain solvent through the targeted date of 2051. The Company’s actuary also advised that the regulations under the aforementioned PBGC financial assistance could result in a higher withdrawal liability even with PBGC financial assistance. The Company is currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the above discussed multi-employer union pension matter and therefore is unable to determine the effects on its consolidated financial statements, but the ultimate outcome could be material to its consolidated results of operations or cash flows in one or more future periods. See also Note 7 of the Company’s Note to Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Company’s pension expense for this Plan for first half 2022 and 2021 was $1,822 and $1,557, respectively ($3,156 and $2,866 for twelve months 2021 and 2020, respectively). The aforementioned expense includes surcharges (reflecting the “frozen” surcharge rate) of $642 and $549 for first half 2022 and 2021, respectively ($1,112 and $1,010 for twelve months 2021 and 2020, respectively), as required under the amended plan of rehabilitation.
The Company continues to actively monitor the Covid-19 pandemic, including existing and developing variants and subvariants, and its potential impact on our operations and financial results, prioritizing employee health and safety. The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic are unprecedented, and therefore the Company is unable to determine the related effects on its sales and net earnings for the balance of 2022 and beyond. Because the Company has a sizable investment in marketable securities (see Liquidity and Capital Resources section below), the Company continues to be well positioned financially to respond to any further adverse effects of this pandemic in the short and intermediate-terms, as well as for a longer period of time, if necessary.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $617 and $10,778 in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively, an unfavorable decrease of $10,161. The $10,161 decrease in cash flows from operating activities from 2021 to 2022 reflects significantly higher production and inventory levels, including the effects of higher costs for materials as discussed above, resulting in more cash used in inventories in first half 2022. The Company anticipates increased demand to continue though the Halloween season and is building inventories to meet this higher demand in second half 2022. In addition, changes in net cash flows in first half 2022 reflects higher earnings as well as the timing of sales and collections of accounts receivable and the timing of payments relating to accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $42,839 in first half 2022 compared to $52,060 in first half 2021. Cash flows used in investing activities reflect $57,731 and $58,154 of purchases of available for sale securities during first half 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $25,993 and $19,798 of sales and maturities of available for sale securities during first half 2022 and 2021, respectively. First half 2022 and 2021 investing activities include capital expenditures of $10,194 and $12,327, respectively. The Company has committed approximately $30,000 to a rehabilitation upgrade and expansion of one of its manufacturing plants in the U.S. The Company spent approximately $15,000, $6,000 and $2,000 in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, on the aforementioned project and expects additional cash outlays for this project to approximate $7,000 in 2022. All capital expenditures have been or are expected to be funded from the Company’s cash flow from operations and internal sources including available for sale securities.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include bank borrowings of $1,020 and $986 at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, all of which relates to its Spanish subsidiary. The Company had no other outstanding bank borrowings at June 30, 2022.
22
Financing activities include Company common stock purchases and retirements of $5,023 and $17,181 in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash dividends of $12,237 and $12,034 were paid in first half 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company’s current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was 3.4 to 1 at June 30, 2022 compared to 3.4 to 1 at December 31, 2021 and 3.7 to 1 at June 30, 2021. Net working capital was $198,283 at June 30, 2022 compared to $188,333 and $201,867 at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The aforementioned net working capital amounts are principally reflected in aggregate cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $123,090 at June 30, 2022 compared to $145,808 and $139,201 at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. In addition, long term investments, principally debt securities comprising corporate bonds, were $258,075 at June 30, 2022, as compared to $291,175 and $264,693 at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Aggregate cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments were $381,165, $436,983, and $403,894, at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The aforementioned includes $72,480, $89,736, and $83,867 at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively, relating to trading securities which are used as an economic hedge for the Company’s deferred compensation liabilities. Investments in available for sale securities, primarily high quality corporate bonds, that matured during first half 2022 and 2021 were generally used to purchase the Company’s common stock or were replaced with debt securities of similar maturities.
The Company periodically contributes to a VEBA trust, managed and controlled by the Company, to fund the estimated future costs of certain employee health, welfare and other benefits. The Company is currently using these VEBA funds to pay the actual cost of such benefits through most of 2022. The VEBA trust held $3,050, $3,941 and $7,549 of aggregate cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. This asset value is included in prepaid expenses and long-term other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. These assets are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in and sufficient availability of sugar, corn syrup, edible oils, including palm oils, cocoa, dextrose, milk and whey, gum-base input ingredients, packaging, and fuel costs principally relating to freight and delivery fuel surcharges. The Company generally enters into annual supply contracts and hedges certain commodities (primarily sugar) to control and plan for such costs changes, however, the Company has experienced significant increases in its costs in 2022 as the Company’s prior 2021 supply contracts and hedges have expired. The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations in the Canadian dollar which is the currency used for a portion of the raw material and packaging material costs and all labor, benefits and local plant operating costs at its Canadian plants. The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations in Mexico, Canada, and Spain where its subsidiaries sell products in their local currencies. The Company invests in securities with maturity dates of up to approximately four years which are generally held to maturity and the average maturity of these investments is 2.0 to 2.5 years. The Company also invests in variable rate demand notes where interest rates are generally reset weekly. The Company believes that the above discussed guidelines limits the Company’s exposure to significant interest rate fluctuations. There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risks that would significantly affect the disclosures made in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of Management, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022 and, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of active or threatened legal proceedings and claims. There are also potential claims and employer liability which could result in litigation, including defense costs, relating to the Covid-19 pandemic. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of such matters with certainty, in the Company’s opinion, both individually and in the aggregate, they are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
