For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

(unaudited)

 

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Trex Company, Inc. (the “Company”) is the country’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing products, which are marketed under the brand name Trex®. We are incorporated in Delaware. Our principal executive offices are located at 160 Exeter Drive, Winchester, Virginia 22603, and our telephone number at that address is (540) 542-6300. The Company operates in one business segment.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 included in the annual report of Trex Company, Inc. on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s critical accounting policies are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

3. ACQUISITIONS

On May 2, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Iron Deck Corporation, a manufacturer of steel deck-framing systems located in Denver, Colorado. This acquisition enhances the Company’s goals of product extension and growth in market share.

 

4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company’s comprehensive income was $2.1 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $7.3 million and ($0.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Comprehensive income consists of net income and changes in net unrealized gains and losses on debt-related derivative, net of tax.

 

5. INVENTORIES

Inventories, at LIFO (last-in, first-out) value, consist of the following (in thousands):

 

     June 30,
2011
    December 31,
2010
 

Finished goods

   $ 44,846      $ 29,983

Total LIFO inventories

   $ 39,036      $ 29,021   
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Since inventory levels and costs are subject to factors beyond management’s control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

The Company’s outstanding debt consists of convertible bond notes and a revolving credit facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company used cash on hand to pay in full the $2.5 million real estate note. At June 30, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and additional available borrowing capacity of approximately $82 million.

As of June 30, 2011 the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in its debt agreements. Failure to comply with our loan covenants might cause our lenders to accelerate our repayment obligations under our credit facility, which may be declared payable immediately based on a default and which could result in a cross-default under our $97.5 million principal amount of outstanding convertible notes.

(a) If-converted value amounts are for disclosure purposes only. The if-converted value in excess of the principal amount and the if-converted number of shares to be issued illustrated above are based on the average stock price of $28.28 during the six months ended June 30, 2011, which exceeded the conversion price of $21.78.

The notes are convertible if a specified trading price of $28.31 of the Company’s common stock (the “trigger price”) is achieved and maintained for a specified period. If the holders exercise the conversion feature, the principal amount of the notes is settled in cash upon conversion and the conversion spread is settled in common shares. The trigger price condition was not satisfied during the second quarter of 2011.

 

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company considers the recorded value of its financial assets and liabilities, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and real estate loan to approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. At June 30, 2011, the fair value of the Company’s 6.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 was estimated at $123.3 million based on quoted market prices.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the interest rates on its variable-rate debt. At December 31, 2010, the fair value of our outstanding interest rate swap was $0.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, in conjunction with paying off its real estate note, the Company paid approximately $0.3 million to settle its interest rate swap. As a result of the settlement of its interest rate swap, the Company reclassified a $0.2 million loss (net of tax expense of $0.1 million) previously included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to “Interest expense, net.”

The Company has excluded the dilutive effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights, convertible notes and restricted stock for the six months ended June 30, 2010, due to a net operating loss for the period. As a result of the quarterly and year-to-date average stock price exceeding the conversion price of $21.78, the Company included 1,148,303 and 1,029,066 additional shares related to the convertible notes in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company included 144,328 additional shares related to the convertible notes in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

 

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Share-Based Payment, (ASC 718). Under the transition method, compensation cost includes (a) compensation cost for all share-based

payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of ASC 718; and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.

The Company has one stock-based compensation plan, the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which was amended by its shareholders on May 7, 2008. The 2005 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Stock-based compensation is granted to officers, directors and certain key employees in accordance with the provisions of the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock and performance share awards. As of June 30, 2011, the total aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the 2005 Plan is 3,150,000.

The fair value of each SAR is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. For SARs issued in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the assumptions shown in the following table were used:

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards as of June 30, 2011 totaled $4.6 million. The cost of these unvested awards is being recognized over the requisite vesting period of 36 months from date of grant.

 

11. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was -56.5% and 15.5% respectively, which resulted in benefits of $2.6 and $0.1 million, respectively. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $2.6 million related to the favorable resolution of uncertain tax positions.

The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset, the effect of which is to substantially reduce the Company’s effective tax rate as the tax expense or benefit recorded at the statutory tax rate is offset by a corresponding expense or benefit resulting from the change in the valuation allowance. Accordingly, the Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, excluding the impact from the aforementioned one-time benefit, was 3.0% and 15.5% respectively.

The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and, in the normal course of business, its tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future assessments by these taxing authorities and the Company has accrued a liability when it believes that it is more likely than not that benefits of tax positions will not be realized. The Company believes that adequate provisions have been made for all tax returns subject to examination. As of

Table of Contents

June 30, 2011, tax years 2005 through 2011 remain subject to examination by federal and certain state tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service recently completed an examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for the tax years 2003 through 2008.

The Company has taken tax positions in certain taxing jurisdictions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease within the next 12 months. The Company does not expect any material change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

 

12. SEASONALITY

The Company’s operating results have historically varied from quarter to quarter, in part due to seasonal trends in the demand for Trex®. The Company has historically experienced lower net sales during the fourth quarter because holidays and adverse weather conditions in certain regions reduce the level of home improvement and construction activity.

 

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contract Termination Costs

As of June 30, 2011, the minimum payments remaining under the Company’s lease relating to its reconsidered corporate relocation over the years ending December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 are $0.8 million, $1.9 million, $2.0 million, $2.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and $7.4 million thereafter. The minimum receipts remaining under the Company’s existing subleases over the years ending December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 are $0.8 million, $1.6 million, $1.3 million, and $1.0 million, respectively, and $0.0 thereafter. The Company accounts for the costs associated with the lease as contract termination costs.

Product Warranty

The Company warrants that its products will be free from material defects in workmanship and material and will not check, split, splinter, rot or suffer structural damage from termites or fungal decay. With respect to the Company’s new Transcend product, the Company further warrants that the product will not fade in color more than a certain amount and will be resistant to permanent staining from food substances or mold (provided the stain is cleaned within seven days of appearance). Each of these warranties generally extends for a period of 25 years for residential use and 10 years for commercial use. If there is a breach of such warranties, the Company has an obligation either to replace the defective product or refund the purchase price. The Company establishes warranty reserves to provide for estimated future expenses as a result of product defects that result in claims. Reserve estimates are based on management’s judgment, considering such factors as historical experience and other available information. Management reviews and adjusts these estimates, if necessary, on a quarterly basis based on the differences between actual experience and historical estimates.

The Company continues to receive and settle claims related to material produced at its Nevada facility through mid-2006 that exhibits surface flaking and regularly monitors the adequacy of the remaining warranty reserve. If the level of future claims exceeds the Company’s expectations, it could result in additional increases to the warranty reserve and reduced earnings in future periods. The Company estimates that a 10% change in the expected number of remaining claims or the expected cost to settle claims may result in approximately a $1.1 million change in the warranty reserve.

Legal Matters

As reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, on January 19, 2009, a purported class action case was commenced against the Company in the Superior Court of California, Santa Cruz County, by the lead law firm of Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, LLP and certain other law firms (the “Lieff Cabraser Group”) on behalf of Eric Ross and Bradley S. Hureth and similarly situated plaintiffs. These plaintiffs generally allege certain defects in the Company’s products, and that the Company has failed to provide adequate remedies for defective products. On February 13, 2009, the Company removed this case to the United States District Court, Northern District of California. On January 21, 2009, a purported class action case was commenced against the Company in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington by the law firm of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP (the “Hagens Berman Firm”) on behalf of Mark Okano and similarly situated plaintiffs, generally alleging certain product defects in the Company’s products, and that the Company has failed to provide adequate remedies for defective products. This case was transferred by the Washington Court to the California Court as a related case to the Lieff Cabraser Group’s case.

On July 30, 2009, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California preliminarily approved a settlement of the claims of the lawsuit commenced by the Lieff Cabraser Group involving surface flaking of the Company’s product, and on March 15, 2010, it granted final approval of the settlement. On April 14, 2010, the Hagens Berman Firm filed a notice to appeal the District Court’s ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On July 9, 2010, the Hagens Berman Firm dismissed their appeal, effectively making the settlement final.

On March 25, 2010, the Lieff Cabraser Group amended its complaint to add claims relating to alleged defects in the Company’s products and alleged misrepresentations relating to mold growth. The Hagens Berman firm has alleged similar claims in its original complaint. In its Final Order approving the surface flaking settlement, the District Court consolidated the two pending actions relating to the mold claims, and appointed the Hagens Berman Firm as lead counsel in this case. The Company believes that these claims are without merit, and will vigorously defend this lawsuit.

On December 15, 2010, a purported class action case was commenced against the Company in the United States District Court, Western District of Kentucky, by the lead law firm of Cohen & Malad, LLP (“Cohen & Malad”) on behalf of Richard Levin and similarly situated plaintiffs, and on June 13, 2011, a purported class action was commenced against the Company in the Marion Circuit/Superior Court of Indiana by Cohen & Malad on behalf of Ellen Kopetsky and similarly situated plaintiffs. On June 28, 2011, the Company removed the Kopetsky case to the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana. The plaintiffs in both of these purported class actions generally allege certain defects in the Company’s products and alleged misrepresentations relating to mold growth. The Company believes that these claims are without merit, and will vigorously defend these lawsuits.

The Company has other lawsuits, as well as other claims, pending against it which are ordinary routine litigation and claims incidental to the business. Management has evaluated the merits of these other lawsuits and claims, and believes that their ultimate resolution will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or competitive position.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans, forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to our industry and similar matters are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” or similar expressions. We cannot promise you that our expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. Our actual results could be materially different from our expectations because of various factors, including the factors discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements are also subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual operating results to differ materially. Such risks and uncertainties include the extent of market acceptance of the Company's products; the costs associated with the development and launch of new products and the market acceptance of such new products; the sensitivity of the Company's business to general economic conditions; the Company's ability to obtain raw materials at acceptable prices; the Company's ability to maintain product quality and product performance at an acceptable cost; the level of expenses associated with product replacement and consumer relations expenses related to product quality; and the highly competitive markets in which the Company operates.

Overview

General. Trex Company, Inc., (the “Company”), is the largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing products, which are marketed under the brand name Trex®. We offer a comprehensive set of aesthetically durable, low maintenance product offerings and believe that the range and variety of our product offerings allow consumers to design personal outdoor living space using Trex brand products.

We have seven decking products: Trex Transcend®, Trex Accents®, Trex Accents Fire Defense®, Trex Brasilia® , Trex Contours®, Trex Escapes® , Trex Origins® ; two railing products: Trex Designer Series Railing® and Trex Transcend Railing; two fencing products, Trex Seclusions® and Trex Surroundings®; and a cellular PVC outdoor trim product, TrexTrim™. In addition, we offer Trex Hideaway®, which is a hidden fastening system for specially grooved boards; and Trex Elevations™, our newest product offering of steel deck framing.

Highlights related to the second quarter of 2011 include:

 

   

We experienced a decrease in net sales of 32.1% in the quarter, compared to the second quarter of 2010, primarily driven by poor weather conditions in the spring, along with an unfavorable macroeconomic environment.

 

   

We ended the second quarter with $19.4 million in cash and had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

 

   

We completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Iron Deck Corporation, a manufacturer of steel deck-framing systems. We introduced this new product into the marketplace as Trex Elevations™.

Net Sales. Net sales consists of sales and freight, net of returns and discounts. The level of net sales is principally affected by sales volume and the prices paid for Trex products. Our branding and product differentiation strategy enables us to command premium prices over wood products.

Sales Incentives / Early Buy Program: As part of our normal business practice and consistent with industry practices, we have historically provided our distributors and dealers incentives to build inventory levels before the start of the prime deck-building season to ensure adequate availability of product to meet anticipated seasonal consumer demand and to enable production planning. These incentives, which together we reference as our “early buy program,” include prompt payment discounts or favorable payment terms. In addition, from time to time we may offer price discounts or volume rebates on specified products and other incentives based on increases in distributor purchases as part of specific promotional programs.

We launched our early buy program for the 2011 decking season in December 2010. The timing and terms of the 2011 program are generally consistent with the timing and terms of the 2010 program launched in December 2009. To qualify for early buy program incentives, customers must commit to the terms of the program which specify eligible products and quantities, order deadlines and available terms, discounts and rebates. There are no product return rights granted to our distributors except those granted pursuant to the warranty provisions of our agreements with distributors. In addition, our products are not susceptible to rapid changes in technology that may cause them to become obsolete. The early buy program can have a significant impact on our sales, receivables and inventory levels. We have provided further discussion of our receivables and inventory in the liquidity and capital resources section.

Gross Profit. Gross profit represents the difference between net sales and cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of raw materials costs, direct labor costs, manufacturing costs and freight. Raw materials costs generally include the costs to purchase and transport waste wood fiber, reclaimed polyethylene, or “PE material,” and pigmentation for coloring Trex products. Direct labor costs include wages and benefits of personnel engaged in the manufacturing process. Manufacturing costs consist of costs of depreciation, utilities, maintenance supplies and repairs, indirect labor, including wages and benefits, and warehouse and equipment rental activities.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The largest components of selling, general and administrative expenses are branding and other sales and marketing costs, which we use to build brand awareness of Trex. Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of salaries, commissions and benefits paid to sales and marketing personnel, consumer relations, advertising expenses and other promotional costs. General and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits of personnel engaged in research and development, procurement, accounting and other business functions, office occupancy costs attributable to these functions, and professional fees. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses have varied from quarter to quarter due, in part, to the seasonality of our business.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

Net Sales. Net sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 (the “2011 quarter”) decreased 32.1% to $78.4 million from $115.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 (the “2010 quarter”). The decrease in net sales was attributable to a 39.5% decrease in sales volume which was partially offset by a 12.2% increase in the average price per unit. The increase in average price per unit was driven by a 2011 price increase for Transcend decking products and a shift in sales mix toward higher priced products. We believe the decrease in sales volume, as compared to the 2010 quarter, was a result of poor weather conditions in the spring that delayed the start of the deck building season in certain parts of the United States, along with an unfavorable macroeconomic environment.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased 21.2% to $23.5 million in the 2011 quarter from $30.0 million in the 2010 quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, gross margin, increased to 30.0% in the 2011 quarter from 25.9% in the 2010 quarter. Gross profit in the 2010 quarter was adversely affected by a $9.0 million increase to the warranty reserve and $1.9 million of charges related to two supply contracts. Excluding the aforementioned charges in the 2010, quarter gross profit decreased 42.2% to $23.5 million in the 2011 quarter from $40.7 million in the 2010 quarter. Excluding the aforementioned charges in the 2010 quarter, gross margin decreased to 30.0% in the 2011 quarter from 35.3% in the 2010 quarter. The elimination of the 2010 Transcend startup costs contributed 5% to gross margin. This was more than offset by capacity utilization, which reduced gross margin by 6% and other sales related items.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.9 million, or 18.2% to $17.4 million in the 2011 quarter from $21.2 million in the 2010 quarter. The 2010 quarter included a non-cash charge of $2.4 million related to the Company’s investment in Denplax, a partially-owned Spanish joint venture. The remaining decrease of $1.4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the 2011 quarter was primarily related to lower personnel-related expenses partially offset by an increase in branding expenditures. Personnel-related expenses decreased $1.9 million in the 2011 quarter driven by a decrease in incentive compensation. As a percentage of net sales, total selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 22.1% in the 2011 quarter from 18.4% in the 2010 quarter.

Interest Expense. Net interest expense increased $0.1 million to $4.0 million in the 2011 quarter from $3.9 million in the 2010 quarter. Net interest expense included $2.6 million and $2.2 million of charges to the 2011 and 2010 quarters,

respectively, in non-cash interest related primarily to the amortization of the convertible debt discount and financing costs. The offsetting decrease in net interest expense in the 2011 quarter is primarily due to a reduction in the average debt balance in the 2011 quarter. As a percentage of net sales, interest expense increased to 5.1% in the 2011 quarter from 3.3% in the 2010 quarter.

Provision for Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the 2011 quarter and 2010 quarter was 2.9% and 0.0%, respectively, which resulted in an expense of $62 thousand in the 2011 quarter. The effective tax rate was substantially lower than the statutory rate in both quarters due to the effect of the valuation allowance the Company maintains against its net deferred tax assets which substantially offsets statutory income tax.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Net Sales. Net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2011 (the “2011 six-month period”) decreased 18.9% to $147.4 million from $181.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 (the “2010 six-month period”). The decrease in net sales was attributable to a 26.0% decrease in sales volume which was partially offset by a 14.3% increase in the average price per unit. The increase in average price per unit was driven by a 2011 price increase for Transcend decking products and a shift in sales mix toward higher priced products. We believe the decrease in sales volume, as compared to the 2010 six-month period, was a result of poor weather conditions in the spring that delayed the start of the deck building season in certain parts of the United States, along with an unfavorable macroeconomic environment.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 3.3% to $46.6 million in the 2011 six-month period from $45.1 million in the 2010 six-month period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, gross margin, increased to 31.6% in the 2011 six-month period from 24.8% in the 2010 six-month period. Gross profit in the 2010 six-month period was adversely affected by a $9.0 million increase to the warranty reserve and $1.9 million of charges related to two supply contracts. Excluding the aforementioned charges in the 2010 six-month period gross profit decreased 16.7% to $46.6 million in the 2011 six-month period from $55.9 million in the 2010 six-month period. Excluding the aforementioned charges in the 2010 six-month period, gross margin increased to 31.6% in the 2011 six-month period from 30.8% in the 2010 six-month period. The elimination of the 2010 Transcend startup costs contributed 7% to gross margin. This was partially offset by capacity utilization, which reduced gross margin by 2%, and other sales related items.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.3 million, or 11.1% to $34.0 million in the 2011 six-month period from $38.3 million in the 2010 six-month period. The 2010 six-month period included a non-cash charge of $2.4 million related to the Company’s investment in Denplax, a partially-owned Spanish joint venture. The remaining decrease of $1.9 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the 2011 quarter was primarily related to lower personnel-related expenses. Personnel-related expenses decreased $1.2 million in the 2011 six-month period driven by a decrease in incentive compensation. As a percentage of net sales, total selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 23.1% in the 2011 six-month period from 21.1% in the 2010 six-month period.

Interest Expense. Net interest expense increased $0.3 million to $8.0 million for the 2011 six-month period from $7.7 million in the 2010 six-month period. Net interest expense included $5.2 million and $4.5 million of charges to the 2011 and 2010 six-month periods, respectively, related primarily to the amortization of the convertible debt discount and financing costs. The offsetting decrease in net interest expense in the 2011 six-month period is primarily due to a reduction in the average debt balance for the 2011 six-month period. As a percentage of net sales, interest expense increased to 5.4% in the 2011 six-month period from 4.2% in the 2010 six-month period.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the 2011 and 2010 six-month periods was -56.5% and 15.5%, respectively, which resulted in benefits of $2.6 and $0.1 million, respectively. The abnormal effective tax rate for the 2011 six-month period was primarily the result of benefits recorded in the first quarter related to the favorable resolution of uncertain tax positions. Excluding these benefits, the effective tax rate for the six-months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately 3.0%. The effective tax rate was substantially lower than the statutory rate in both six-month periods due to the effect of the valuation allowance the Company maintains against its net deferred tax assets which substantially offsets statutory income tax.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance operations and growth primarily with cash flow from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and other loans, operating leases and normal trade credit terms from operating activities.

At June 30, 2011, we had $19.4 million of cash and cash equivalents.

We believe that cash on hand, cash from operations and borrowings expected to be available under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility will provide sufficient funds to fund planned capital expenditures, make scheduled principal and interest payments, fund the warranty reserve and meet other cash requirements. We currently expect to fund future capital expenditures from operations and financing activities. The actual amount and timing of future capital requirements may differ materially from our estimate depending on the demand for Trex and new market developments and opportunities.

Table of Contents

Sources and Uses of Cash. Cash provided by operating activities for the 2011 six-month period was $3.3 million compared to $8.3 million for the 2010 six-month period, a $5.0 million reduction. Cash flow from operations during the 2010 six-month period benefited from a $7.5 million tax refund, a cash inflow that was not replicated in the 2011 six-month period. Also, the Company invested $6.3 million more cash to build inventory during the 2011 six-month period than it did during the 2010 six-month period. These unfavorable effects were offset by the favorable effect of reduced investment in accounts receivable, primarily due to lower sales volumes in the 2011 six-month period. We expect to collect all outstanding accounts receivable balances, net of existing allowances, during the next fiscal quarter.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $6.8 million in the 2011 six-month period, compared to cash used in investing activities of $4.3 million in the 2010 six-month period. In May 2011, we completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Iron Deck Corporation, a manufacturer of steel deck-framing systems. In the 2011 six-month period, capital expenditures consisted primarily of manufacturing equipment for process and productivity improvements, including retrofitting lines to produce new products.

Cash used by financing activities was $4.3 million in the six-month period compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1.3 million in the 2010 six-month period. Borrowings from the revolving credit facility were $44.0 million in the 2010 six-month period compared to no borrowings in the 2011 six-month period. We reduced debt by $2.5 million in the 2011 six-month period by extinguishing a real estate note.

Indebtedness. At June 30, 2011, our indebtedness, excluding the unamortized debt discount totaled $97.5 million and the annualized weighted average interest rate of such indebtedness was 6.0%.

Our ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility is tied to a borrowing base that consists of certain receivables and inventories. At June 30, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and an available borrowing capacity of approximately $82 million. The credit facility matures on December 31, 2011, but may be extended to December 31, 2012 if certain terms and conditions are met.

Debt Covenants. To remain in compliance with covenants contained within its debt agreements, we must maintain specified financial ratios based on levels of debt, capital, net worth, fixed charges, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with these covenants. Failure to comply with our loan covenants might cause our lenders to accelerate our repayment obligations under our credit facility, which may be declared payable immediately based on a default and which could result in a cross-default under our $97.5 million principal amount of outstanding convertible notes.

Capital Requirements. Capital expenditures in the 2011 six-month period totaled $4.9 million, primarily for manufacturing equipment. We currently estimate that our capital expenditures in 2011 will be approximately $15 million.

Inventory in Distribution Channels. We sell our products through a tiered distribution system. We have approximately 20 distributors and two mass merchandisers to which we sell our products. These distributors in turn sell the products to approximately 3,500 dealers in the aggregate who in turn sell the products to end users. While we do not typically receive any information regarding inventory in the distribution channel from any dealers, we occasionally receive limited information from some but not all of our distributors regarding their inventory in the distribution channel. Because only a few distributors provide us with any information regarding their inventory, we cannot definitively determine the level of inventory in the distribution channels at any time. We do not believe that inventory levels as of June 30, 2011 are appreciably higher than inventory levels as of June 30, 2010. Changes in inventory levels in the distribution channel without a corresponding change in end-use demand could have an adverse effect on future sales.

Product Warranty. We continue to receive and settle claims related to material produced at its Nevada facility through mid-2006 that exhibits surface flaking and regularly monitor the adequacy of the remaining warranty reserve. If the level of future claims exceeds our expectations, it could result in additional increases to the warranty reserve and reduced earnings and cash flows in future periods. We estimate that a 10% change in the expected number of remaining claims or the expected cost to settle claims may result in approximately a $1.1 million change in the warranty reserve.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, on January 19, 2009, a purported class action case was commenced against the Company in the Superior Court of California, Santa Cruz County, by the lead law firm of Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, LLP and certain other law firms (the “Lieff Cabraser Group”) on behalf of Eric Ross and Bradley S. Hureth and similarly situated plaintiffs. These plaintiffs generally allege certain defects in the Company’s products, and that the Company has failed to provide adequate remedies for defective products. On February 13, 2009, the Company removed this case to the United States District Court, Northern District of California. On January 21, 2009, a purported class action case was commenced against the Company in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington by the law firm of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP (the “Hagens Berman Firm”) on behalf of Mark Okano and similarly situated plaintiffs, generally alleging certain product defects in the Company’s products, and that the Company has failed to provide adequate remedies for defective products. This case was transferred by the Washington Court to the California Court as a related case to the Lieff Cabraser Group’s case.

On July 30, 2009, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California preliminarily approved a settlement of the claims of the lawsuit commenced by the Lieff Cabraser Group involving surface flaking of the Company’s product, and on March 15, 2010, it granted final approval of the settlement. On April 14, 2010, the Hagens Berman Firm filed a notice to appeal the District Court’s ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On July 9, 2010, the Hagens Berman Firm dismissed their appeal, effectively making the settlement final.

On March 25, 2010, the Lieff Cabraser Group amended its complaint to add claims relating to alleged defects in the Company’s products and alleged misrepresentations relating to mold growth. The Hagens Berman firm has alleged similar claims in its original complaint. In its Final Order approving the surface flaking settlement, the District Court consolidated the two pending actions relating to the mold claims, and appointed the Hagens Berman Firm as lead counsel in this case. The Company believes that these claims are without merit, and will vigorously defend this lawsuit.

On December 15, 2010, a purported class action case was commenced against the Company in the United States District Court, Western District of Kentucky, by the lead law firm of Cohen & Malad, LLP (“Cohen & Malad”) on behalf of Richard Levin and similarly situated plaintiffs, and on June 13, 2011, a purported class action was commenced against the Company in the Marion Circuit/Superior Court of Indiana by Cohen & Malad on behalf of Ellen Kopetsky and similarly situated plaintiffs. On June 28, 2011, the Company removed the Kopetsky case to the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana. The plaintiffs in both of these purported class actions generally allege certain defects in the Company’s products and alleged misrepresentations relating to mold growth. The Company believes that these claims are without merit, and will vigorously defend these lawsuits.

The Company has other lawsuits, as well as other claims, pending against it which are ordinary routine litigation and claims incidental to the business. Management has evaluated the merits of these other lawsuits and claims, and believes that their ultimate resolution will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or competitive position.
