CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q 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. In particular, we direct your attention to Part I, Item 1- Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk; and Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors. We intend the forward-looking statements throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference herein to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. Statements contained in this report which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. All projections, guidance and other statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans and the outcome of any contingencies are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” and other phrases of similar meaning. The forward-looking information is based on information available as of the date of this quarterly report and on numerous assumptions and developments that are not within our control. Although we believe that our expectations as expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will turn out to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in global economic conditions; the ability to obtain new contracts at attractive prices; the size and timing of customer orders and shipment; our ability to realize sales from our backlog; fluctuations in customer demand; fluctuations in foreign currencies; competitive factors; the timely completion of contracts; the timing and size of expenditures; the timely receipt of government approvals and permits; the price and availability of metal and other raw material; the adequacy of local labor supplies at our facilities; current or future limits on manufacturing capacity at our various operations; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses; the availability and cost of funds; and general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, impacting our business and the business of the end-market users we serve. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

DYNAMIC MATERIALS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
(unaudited)
 
1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The information included in the condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited but includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

On October 1, 2014 DMC completed the sale of its AMK Technical Services ("AMK") business (See Footnote 10 Subsequent Events). The operating results of AMK have been classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented.
 
 
2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dynamic Materials Corporation (“DMC”) and its controlled subsidiaries.  Only subsidiaries in which controlling interests are maintained are consolidated.  All significant intercompany accounts, profits, and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Income Taxes
 
The effective tax rate for each of the periods reported differs from the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to favorable foreign permanent differences, variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective periods and differences between the U.S. and foreign tax rates (which range from 20% to 35%) on earnings that have been permanently reinvested.
    
We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence to be evaluated in this assessment is whether there is a three-year cumulative loss incurred in jurisdictions where there are deferred tax assets. We have incurred a three-year cumulative loss in one foreign jurisdiction resulting in local tax loss carryforwards with no expiration date. We also have cumulative tax loss carryforwards in another jurisdiction that we do not believe will be realized. As a result, we recorded a valuation allowance of $716 against the net deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2014. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be adjusted during the carryforward period if positive evidence such as current and expected future taxable income outweighs negative evidence.

In January 2013, the United States Congress authorized, and the President signed into law, changes to the U. S. income tax laws which were retroactive to January 1, 2012. However, since these changes were enacted in 2013, the financial statement benefit of such legislation could not be reflected until the first quarter of 2013. The $914 tax benefit that we recognized in the first quarter of 2013 had a significant favorable impact on our first quarter and first half of 2013 effective tax rate. During the second quarter of 2013, we recorded a one-time tax expense of $430 associated with a German tax audit settlement. This non-recurring adjustment had a significant unfavorable impact on our second quarter and first half 2013 effective tax rate.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) and require the use of the two class method for calculating EPS.  Under this method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and therefore is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard and disclosure requirements for U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, however, early adoption is permitted. DMC has not elected to early adopt this pronouncement.

3.      INVENTORIES
 
Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost (first-in, first-out) or market value. Cost elements included in inventory are material, labor, subcontract costs, and manufacturing overhead. As necessary, we record provisions and maintain reserves for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory. To determine reserve amounts, we regularly review inventory quantities on hand and values, and compare them to estimates of future product demand, market conditions, production requirements and technological developments.

Comprehensive reviews of DynaEnergetics' inventories were performed throughout 2013 to identify potentially excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory items. These reviews reflected management's efforts to reduce overall inventory levels and rationalize product line offerings. Additionally, our estimate for reserving, or writing-off, inventory changed from a combination of qualitative and quantitative considerations to a more specific quantitative analysis whereby inventory items which have not had sales for a certain duration are written-off after a prescribed period.

In 2013 we changed our inventory management philosophy and intended to aggressively reduce our investment in inventory. In connection with this philosophy, in the third quarter 2013 we identified certain slow-moving and obsolete inventories and therefore revised our assumptions for calculating estimated inventory reserves, resulting in a change in estimate. We determined that our September 30, 2013 inventory reserves for our DynaEnergetics business segment should be increased by $1,245 to adequately provide for estimated requirements and recorded corresponding expense of $1,245 ($895, net of tax) in cost of products sold in our third quarter 2013 condensed consolidated statement of operations. The impact of this change in estimate reduced earnings per share by $0.06 per share (basic and diluted) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Inventories consist of the following at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and include reserves of $2,161 and $1,729, respectively:

8.      BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
Our business is organized in the following two segments:  NobelClad and Oilfield Products. The NobelClad segment uses explosives to perform metal cladding and shock synthesis of industrial diamonds. The most significant product of this group is clad metal which is used in the fabrication of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and transition joints for various industries, including upstream oil and gas, oil refinery, petrochemicals, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, industrial refrigeration, and similar industries.  The Oilfield Products segment manufactures, markets and sells oilfield perforating equipment and explosives, including detonating cords, detonators, bi-directional boosters and shaped charges, and seismic related explosives and accessories.  Oilfield Products also utilizes a number of welding technologies to weld components for manufacturers of jet engine and ground-based turbines.

Prior to 2014, we were organized into three segments. At the beginning of 2014 management approved a change in operating structure whereby AMK will operate within and be managed as part of the Oilfield Products business segment. Consequently, we combined AMK and DynaEnergetics into one reportable business segment, Oilfield Products. AMK represented 3% of segment assets, 4% of consolidated sales and 2% of segment operating income as of and for the year then ended December 31, 2013. All prior periods segment disclosures have been restated to conform to the 2014 presentation.

Due to the completed sale of AMK, as of September 30, 2014 the operating results of AMK have been classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented. All prior periods segment disclosures have been restated to conform to the 2014 presentation. Refer to Footnote 10 Subsequent Events for further details.    
The accounting policies of all of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Our reportable segments are separately managed strategic business units that offer different products and services. Each segment’s products are marketed to different customer types and require different manufacturing processes and technologies.

Purchase of Property and Restructuring Announcement

On October 23, 2014 we signed an agreement to purchase a $14,000 manufacturing facility in the Siegerland region of Germany.  The facility will significantly enhance NobelClad’s manufacturing capabilities and its ability to serve customers throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.  We expect the plant will be open by next year’s second quarter.
    
NobelClad's European management has commenced discussions with local staff representatives and social partners to develop and implement a European consolidation plan, which we believe will generate annual after-tax savings of approximately $2,000. Restructuring charges, including social costs, equipment relocation, and other exit costs, are expected to range from $3,000 - $5,000.

ITEM 2.      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and notes, as well as the selected historical consolidated financial data that are included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Unless stated otherwise, all currency amounts in this discussion are presented in thousands (000’s).
 
Executive Overview
 
Our business is organized into two segments:  NobelClad and Oilfield Products.  Prior to 2014, we were organized into three segments. At the beginning of 2014 management approved a change in operating structure whereby AMK Technical Services ("AMK") will operate within and be managed as part of the Oilfield Products business segment. Consequently, we combined AMK and DynaEnergetics into one reportable business segment, Oilfield Products. AMK represented 3% of segment assets, 4% of consolidated sales and 2% of segment operating income as of and for the year then ended December 31, 2013. All prior periods segment disclosures have been restated to conform to the 2014 presentation.

On October 1, 2014 we completed the sale of our AMK Technical Services business. We have reflected the results of AMK Technical Services as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, historical consolidated statements of operations included in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been restated to reflect the discontinued operation.

On October 23, we signed an agreement to purchase a $14,000 manufacturing facility in the Siegerland region of Germany.  The facility will significantly enhance NobelClad’s manufacturing capabilities and its ability to serve customers throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.  We expect the plant will be open by next year’s second quarter.
    
NobelClad's European management has commenced discussions with local staff representatives and social partners to develop and implement a European consolidation plan, which we believe will generate annual after-tax savings of approximately $2,000. Restructuring charges, including social costs, equipment relocation, and other exit costs, are expected to range from $3,000 - $5,000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, NobelClad accounted for 49% of our net sales and 37% of our income from operations before consideration of unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation expense, which are not allocated to our business segments.  Oilfield Products accounted for 51% and 63% of our first half 2014 sales and income from operations, respectively.
 
Our consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $2,154, or 1.4%, compared to the same period in 2013.  Sales increased $12,421 (19.5%) in our Oilfield Products segment and decreased $14,575 (16.4%) in our NobelClad segment.  Our consolidated income from operations increased to $10,231 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $9,865 in the same period of 2013.  The $366 improvement in consolidated income from operations was due to a $5,513 increase in Oilfield Products operating income and a $1,722 decrease in aggregate unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, offset by a $6,869 decline in NobelClad's operating income. The decrease in corporate expenses was driven by $2,965 of non-recurring expenses in the first quarter of 2013 associated with management retirements. Consolidated operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 includes amortization expense of $4,808 and $4,734, respectively. Net income was $7,021 for the year-to-date 2014 compared to net income of $7,216 for the same period of 2013.
 
Based upon the September 30, 2014 NobelClad backlog, recent quoting activity for this segment and sales trends in our Oilfield Products segment, we expect our full year 2014 consolidated net sales will be down slightly to up 2% from $202,060 in 2013 (excluding AMK Technical Services).
   
Net sales
 
NobelClad's revenues are generated principally from sales of clad metal plates and sales of transition joints, which are made from clad plates, to customers that fabricate industrial equipment for various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, alternative energy, hydrometallurgy, aluminum production, shipbuilding, power generation, industrial refrigeration, and similar industries.  While a large portion of the demand for our clad metal products is driven by new plant construction and large plant expansion projects, maintenance and retrofit projects at existing chemical processing, petrochemical processing, oil refining, and aluminum smelting facilities also account for a significant portion of total demand. These industries tend to be cyclical in nature

17

Table of Contents

and timing of new order inflow remains difficult to predict; however, we believe that our NobelClad segment is well-positioned in the marketplace.
 
Oilfield Products' revenues are generated from the DynaEnergetics product line. Dynaenergetics markets and sells shaped charges, detonators and detonating cord, and bidirectional boosters and perforating guns to customers who perform the perforation of oil and gas wells and from sales of seismic products to customers involved in oil and gas exploration activities.
 
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a relatively small number of customers; therefore, the failure to complete existing contracts on a timely basis, to receive payment for such services in a timely manner, or to enter into future contracts at projected volumes and profitability levels could adversely affect our ability to meet cash requirements exclusively through operating activities. We attempt to minimize the risk of losing customers or specific contracts by continually improving product quality, delivering product on time and competing aggressively on the basis of price.

Gross profit and cost of products sold

Cost of of products sold for NobelClad includes the cost of metals and alloys used to manufacture clad metal plates, the cost of explosives, employee compensation and benefits, freight, outside processing costs, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.
 
Cost of products sold for Oilfield Products includes the cost of metals, explosives and other raw materials used to manufacture shaped charges, detonating products and perforating guns as well as employee compensation and benefits, depreciation of manufacturing facilities and equipment, manufacturing supplies and other manufacturing overhead expenses.
 
NobelClad Backlog
 
We use backlog as a primary means to measure the immediate outlook for our NobelClad business.  We define “backlog” at any given point in time as all firm, unfulfilled purchase orders and commitments at that time.  Generally speaking, we expect to fill most backlog orders within the following 12 months.  From experience, most firm purchase orders and commitments are realized. Our NobelClad backlog increased to $42,634 at September 30, 2014 from $36,930 at December 31, 2013.

Our consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2014 decreased 0.9% to $51,886 from $52,331 for the third quarter of 2013.  NobelClad sales decreased 22.4% to $23,607 (45% of total sales) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $30,407 (58% of total sales) for the same period of 2013. Our NobelClad backlog of $40,056 as of June 30, 2014 was lower than the June 30, 2013 backlog of $44,151. The $6,800 decrease in second quarter 2014 sales also relates to timing differences with respect to when orders enter our backlog and the subsequent shipment of these orders. The decline in backlog was driven primarily by weak industrial end markets demand for clad metal. Oilfield Products contributed $28,279 (55% of total sales) to third quarter 2014 sales, an increase of 29.0% from sales of $21,924 (42% of total sales) in the third quarter of 2013. The record quarter was due to improved product/customer mix including strong sales of DynaSelect, our fully integrated switch-detonator system introduced in the third quarter of 2013.

Our consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2014 decreased 1.4% to $150,566 from $152,720 in the same period of 2013. NobelClad sales decreased 16.4% to $74,402 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (49% of total sales) from $88,977 (58% of total sales) for the same period of 2013. The decrease in Nobelclad sales this period relates primarily to the

lower backlog and timing of shipments out of backlog. Oilfield Products contributed $76,164 to year-to-date 2014 sales (51% of total sales), which represents an increase of 19.5% from sales of $63,743 for year-to-date 2013 (42% of total sales). The increase in Oilfield products sales was driven by product/customer mix including the DynaSelect system.

Our consolidated third quarter 2014 gross profit decreased by 6.3% to $15,083 from $16,102 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our third quarter 2014 consolidated gross profit margin rate decreased to 29.1% from 30.8% in the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, consolidated gross profit increased by 0.5% to $45,493 from $45,289 for the same period of 2013. Our year-to-date consolidated gross profit margin rate increased to 30.2% in 2014 from 29.7% in 2013.
 
NobelClad's gross profit margin decreased from 28.2% in the third quarter of 2013 to 21.4% in the third quarter of 2014. For the nine-month period, our gross profit margin for this segment decreased to 22.0% in 2014 from 25.9% in 2013.  The decrease in both our third quarter and year-to-date gross margin rate relates principally to lower sales volume and unfavorable manufacturing overhead absorption compared to the same periods in 2013. As has been the case historically, we expect to see continued fluctuations in NobelClad's quarterly gross margin rates in the future that result from fluctuations in quarterly sales volume and product/customer mix.
 
Oilfield Products' gross profit margin increased to 35.8% in the third quarter of 2014 from 34.7% in the third quarter of 2013. Excluding an inventory reserve increase of $1,245 in the third quarter of 2013, gross profit margin declined due to unfavorable price and mix. Oilfield Products reported a gross profit margin of 38.6% for year-to-date 2014 compared to a gross profit margin of 35.3% for the same period of 2013. Excluding the inventory reserve increase in the third quarter of 2013, the year-to-date improved gross profit margin improved slightly.
 
Based upon the expected contribution to 2014 consolidated net sales by each of our two business segments, we expect our consolidated full year 2014 gross margin to be in a range of 29% to 30%.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $170, or 3.0%, to $5,503 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $5,673 for the same period of 2013.  This decrease was driven by a $134 aggregate decrease in salaries, benefits and payroll

taxes that was partially offset by an increase of $310 in stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 10.6% in the third quarter of 2014 from 10.8% in the third quarter of 2013.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 9.8% to $16,858 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $18,693 for the same period of 2013. Excluding the $2,965 impact in 2013 from non-recurring expenses associated with management retirements, our general and administrative expenses increased $1,130 or 7.2% from a $690 increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $293 increase in professional services and a $245 aggregate increase in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes. The increases were driven by year-over-year headcount additions to support business development initiatives, corporate branding and recruiting expenses. Excluding the impact of non-recurring executive management retirement expenses in 2013, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 11.2% for the first half 2014 from 10.3% for the same period of 2013.

Our selling and distribution expenses increased by 26.9% to $4,639 in the third quarter of 2014 from $3,657 in the third quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to a $263 aggregate increase in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes, a $188 net increase in bad debt expense mostly from favorable adjustments in the third quarter of 2013 and a $100 associated with opening two new Oilfield Products' distribution centers in 2014. Additionally, commission expense and stock-based compensation increased $85 and $27, respectively, compared to the prior year.  As a percentage of net sales, selling and distribution expenses increased to 8.9% in the third quarter of 2014 from 7.0% in the third quarter of 2013.

Our selling and distribution expenses increased by 13.3% to $13,596 for the nine month ended September 30, 2014 from $11,997 for the same period of 2013. The increase was primarily due to a $378 aggregate increase in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes, higher commission expense of $345, a $283 increase in bad debt expense, $208 from opening two new Oilfield Products' distribution centers in 2014 and an increase of $77 in stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of net sales, selling and distribution expense increased to 9.0% for year-to-date 2014 from 7.9% for year-to-date 2013.

Our consolidated selling and distribution expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 include $1,428 and $3,142, respectively, for our NobelClad and Oilfield Products business segments as compared to $1,198 and $2,416, respectively, for the third quarter of 2013. Our consolidated selling and distribution expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 include $4,697 and $8,692, respectively, for our NobelClad and Oilfield Products business segments as compared to $4,167 and $7,701, respectively, for the same period of 2013. The higher level of selling and distribution expenses for our Oilfield Products segment relative to its contribution to our consolidated net sales reflects the need, particularly in North America, to maintain a number of strategically located distribution centers that are in close proximity to areas which contain a large concentration of oilfields and enjoy a high volume of related oil and gas drilling activities.

Amortization expense relates to intangible assets in connection with acquisitions in our Oilfield Products segment.  The $6 decrease in third quarter 2014 amortization expenses reflects the impact of foreign currency translation.  Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 includes $1,244, $283, and $48 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively.  Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 includes $1,250, $283 and $48 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively.

Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes $3,794, $868, and $146 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively. Amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes $3,747, $845, and $142 relating to values assigned to customer relationships, core technology, and trademarks/trade names, respectively.

Amortization expense (as measured in Euros) associated with the DYNAenergetics acquisition and the acquisition of the two Russian joint ventures is expected to approximate €3,333 and €225, respectively, in 2014.  Our 2014 amortization expense associated with the Austin Explosives and TRX Industries acquisitions is expected to approximate $435 and $895, respectively, and our 2014 amortization expense (as measured in Canadian dollars) associated with the LRI acquisition is expected to approximate 80 CAD.

Our consolidated operating income decreased by $1,825 to $3,366 in the third quarter of 2014 from $5,191 in the third quarter of 2013. These operating income totals for the third quarters of 2014 and 2013 include $1,321 and $1,378, respectively, of unallocated corporate expenses and $974 and $628, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. Our consolidated operating income increased by $366 to $10,231 for year-to-date 2014 from $9,865 for year-to-date 2013. These operating income totals for 2014 and 2013 include $4,440 and $6,042, respectively, of unallocated corporate expenses and $2,565 and $2,685, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. These expenses are not allocated to our business segments and thus are not included in the below 2014 and 2013 operating income totals for NobelClad and Oilfield Products.

The increase in our consolidated operating income for the nine month ended September 30, 2014 reflects decreases in stock-based compensation expense and unallocated corporate expenses of $120 and $1,602, respectively, which savings were partially offset by a decrease of $1,356 in the aggregate operating income reported by our two business segments. The aggregate net decrease

of $1,722 in unallocated corporate expenses and stock-based compensation expense primarily relates to the $2,965 of non-recurring expenses in the first quarter 2013 associated with management retirements.
 
NobelClad's operating income of $1,883 in the third quarter of 2014 decreased 66.1% from $5,562 in the third quarter of 2013.  Operating results of NobelClad for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 include $530 and $529, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. NobelClad reported operating income of $6,382 for year-to-date 2014 compared to $13,251 for year-to-date 2013. Operating results of NobelClad for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 include $1,625 and $1,578, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. The decrease in operating income for the quarter and year-to-date periods was attributable to lower sales and related unfavorable manufacturing overhead absorption discussed above.  
 
Oilfield Products' operating income of $3,778 in the third quarter of 2014 increased 131.1% from $1,635 in the third quarter of 2013.  Oilfield Products' operating results for the three months ended September, 2014 and 2013 include $1,045 and $1,052, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. Oilfield Products reported operating income of $10,854 for year-to-date 2014 compared to $5,341 for year-to-date 2013. Operating results of Oilfield Products for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 include $3,183 and $3,156, respectively, of amortization expense of purchased intangible assets. The increase in operating income for the quarter and year-to-date periods was largely attributable to the improved sales volumes and gross margin percentages as discussed above.

The effective tax rate increased to 33.1% for the third quarter of 2014 compared to 30.3% for the third quarter of 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate included the effect of recording a valuation allowance of $716 in third quarter of 2014 as described below. Excluding the valuation allowance, our third quarter effective tax rate would have been 16.1%. We recorded an income tax provision of $1,224 in the third quarter of 2014 compared to an income tax provision of $1,461 in the third quarter of 2013.  Our consolidated income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 included a U.S. tax provision of $581 in 2014 and $1,397 in 2013, with the remainder relating to net foreign tax provisions of $643 and $64, respectively, associated with our foreign operations and holding companies.

The effective tax rate increased to 30.3% for year-to-date 2014 compared to 24.2% for the same period of 2013. Excluding the valuation allowance recorded in the third quarter of 2014, our year-to-date effective tax rate would have been 24.2%. Our 2013 year-to-date effective tax rate included a net benefit of $484 from discrete items in the first half of 2013. Excluding the discrete items, our year-to-date 2013 effective tax rate would have been 29.5%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded an income tax provision of $3,088 compared to an income tax provision of $2,179 for the same period of 2013. Our consolidated income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included a U.S. tax benefit of $179 and a tax provision of $572 in 2013, with the remainder relating to net foreign tax provisions of $3,267 and $1,607, respectively.

We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence to be evaluated in this assessment is whether there is a three-year cumulative loss incurred in jurisdictions where there are deferred tax assets. We have incurred a three-year cumulative loss in one foreign jurisdiction resulting in local tax loss carryforwards with no expiration date. We also have cumulative tax loss carryforwards in another jurisdiction that we do not believe will be realized. As a result, we recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2014. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be adjusted during the carryforward period if positive evidence such as current and expected future taxable income outweighs negative evidence.

In January 2013, the United States Congress authorized, and the President signed into law, changes to the U. S. income tax laws which were retroactive to January 1, 2012. However, since these changes were enacted in 2013, the financial statement benefit of such legislation could not be reflected until the first quarter of 2013. The $914 tax benefit that we recognized in the first quarter of 2013 had a significant favorable impact on our first quarter and year-to-date 2013 effective tax rate. During the second quarter of 2013, we recorded a one-time tax expense of $430 associated with a German tax audit settlement. This non-recurring adjustment had a significant unfavorable impact on our second quarter and year-to-date 2013 effective tax rate.

Our statutory income tax rates range from 20% to 35% for our various U.S. and foreign operating entities and holding companies. Fluctuations in our consolidated effective tax rate also reflect the different tax rates in our U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions and the variation in contribution to consolidated pre-tax income from each jurisdiction for the respective year.

We expect our blended effective tax rate for the full year 2014 to range from 30% to 32% based on projected pre-tax income.

On October 1, 2014 DMC completed the sale of its AMK Technical Services business. The sales price was $6,750, subject to final purchase price adjustments, and was financed through $4,250 in cash consideration and the issuance of a $2,500 90-day secured promissory note. The excess of the selling price over the carrying value will be recorded in our Statement of Operations in the fourth quarter 2014.

Net sales for AMK Technical Services was $1,563 in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $1,937 in the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, AMK Technical Services sales were $4,540 compared to $5,676 for the same period of 2013. AMK Technical Services had income from discontinued operations of $20, net of tax of $17 for the third quarter of 2014 compared to income from discontinued operations of $256, net of tax of $14 for the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, AMK Technical Services had a loss from discontinued operations of $77, net of tax of $1 compared to income from discontinued operations of $473, net of tax of $80 for the same period of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides an important indicator of our ongoing operating performance.  Our aggregate non-cash depreciation, amortization of purchased intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $4,375 and $3,630, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $12,779 and $11,423, respectively.  These aggregate non-cash charges represent a significant percentage of the consolidated operating income that we reported for these periods.  We use non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in our operational and financial decision-making and believe that these non-GAAP measures facilitate a more meaningful and accurate comparison of the operating performance of our two business segments than do certain GAAP measures.  Research analysts, investment bankers and lenders also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating performance.  In addition, during 2014, our management incentive awards will be based, in part, upon the amount of EBITDA achieved during the year. A portion of the equity incentive awards granted in 2014 to our named executive officers will be earned based on the amount of Adjusted EBITDA achieved in 2014 and 2015. The following is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBIDTA.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 11.8% to $7,741 in the third quarter of 2014 from $8,772 in the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to the $1,826 decrease in third quarter 2014 operating income. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 8.6% to $23,010 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $21,196 for the same period of 2013 primarily due to the increase in depreciation expense.

We have historically financed our operations and business acquisitions from a combination of internally generated cash flow, revolving credit borrowings, various long-term debt arrangements, and the issuance of common stock.  We believe that cash flow from operations and funds available under our current credit facilities and any future replacement thereof will be sufficient to fund the working capital, debt service, and capital expenditure requirements of our current business operations for the foreseeable future.  Nevertheless, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations will depend upon our success in executing our strategies. If we are unable to (i) realize sales from our backlog; (ii) secure new customer orders; (iii) continue selling products at attractive margins; and (iv) continue to implement cost-effective internal processes, our ability to meet cash requirements through operating activities could be impacted.  Furthermore, any restriction on the availability of borrowings under our credit facilities could negatively affect our ability to meet future cash requirements. 

Debt facilities
 
On December 21, 2011, we entered into a five-year syndicated credit agreement, which provides revolving loan availability of $36,000, 16,000 Euros and 1,500 Canadian Dollars through a syndicate of four banks, and amends and restates in its entirety our prior syndicated credit agreement entered into on November 16, 2007. We also maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain DYNAenergetics operations. This line of credit provides a borrowing capacity of 4,000 Euros. 

As of September 30, 2014, U.S. dollar revolving loans of $26,000 were outstanding under our syndicated credit agreement and $4 was outstanding under loan agreements with the former owners of LRI.  While we had approximately $35,466 of unutilized revolving credit loan capacity as of September 30, 2014 under our various credit facilities, future borrowings are subject to compliance with financial covenants that could significantly limit availability.
 
There are two significant financial covenants under our syndicated credit agreement, the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio requirements.  The leverage ratio is defined in the credit agreement as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness at the balance sheet date as compared to Consolidated EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before provisions for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, extraordinary, non-recurring charges and other non-cash charges, for the previous twelve months.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, Consolidated EBITDA approximated the “Adjusted EBITDA” that we reported for the respective periods.  As of September 30, 2014, the maximum leverage ratio permitted by our credit facility was 2.0 to 1.0. The actual leverage ratio as of September 30, 2014 was .89 to 1.0. The maximum leverage ratio permitted as of December 31, 2014 is 2.0 to 1.0.
 
The fixed charge ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, means, for any period, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Fixed Charges.  Consolidated EBITDA is defined above and Fixed Charges equals the sum of cash interest expense, cash dividends, cash income taxes and an amount equal to 75% of depreciation expense.  For the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2014, the minimum fixed charge ratio permitted by our credit facility was 2.0 to 1.0. The actual fixed charge ratio for the trailing

twelve months ended September 30, 2014 was 2.29 to 1.0. The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio permitted for the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2014 is 2.0 to 1.0.
 
Debt and other contractual obligations and commitments
 
Our existing loan agreements include various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders, redemption of capital stock, incurrence of additional indebtedness, mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets, and maintenance of specified financial ratios.  As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.
 
Our principal cash flows related to debt obligations and other contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed since December 31, 2013.

Cash flows from operating activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $15,818 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 which consisted of net cash flows from continuing operations of $15,579 and net cash flows from discontinued operations of $239. This compares to net cash provided by operating activities of $30,471 for the same period in 2013 which consisted of net cash flows from continuing operations of $29,816 and net cash flows from discontinued operations of $655. The year-over-year decline of continuing operations operating cash flow of $14,237 was driven by a $15,375 net increase in working capital. We experienced negative net working capital changes of $3,772 in the nine month period of 2014 compared to net positive changes in working capital of $11,603 in the same period of 2013. Negative changes in our 2014 working capital included an increase in inventories and prepaid expenses of $3,012 and $3,146, respectively, and a decrease of $5,084 in accounts payable. The increases in working capital were driven by higher sales in Oilfield Products, timing of accounts payable and prepayment for raw materials with long lead times but favorable pricing. These negative changes were partly offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $5,342 and a $1,445 increase in customer advances.

 Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $30,471 which consisted of net cash flows provided by continuing operations of $29,816 and net cash flows provided by discontinued operations of $655. Net cash flows provided by continuing operations increased by $17,805 over the same period of 2012, reflecting a $1,539 decrease in net income that was offset by positive changes in net working capital of $18,493, and positive changes in non-cash adjustments aggregating $851. We experienced net positive changes in working capital of $11,604 for the first nine months of 2013 compared to net negative changes in working capital of $6,889 in the same period of 2012. Positive changes in our 2013 working capital included a decrease in accounts receivable, inventories and prepaid expenses of $4,938, $6,587 and $1,032, respectively, and an increase of $1,303 and $20 in accrued expenses and other liabilities and customer advances, respectively. These positive changes were partly offset by a decrease of $2,207 in account payable. The large decrease in inventories reflects our focused efforts during the first nine months of 2013 to reduce overall inventory levels in our Oilfield Products business, particularly within the North American distribution system. All other changes in working capital relate to typical fluctuations in our business flow and the related timing of cash payments and receipts.
 
Cash flows from investing activities
 
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $6,219 which consisted of cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations of $6,099 and $120 of net cash flows used in investing activities of discontinued operations. Net cash flows of investing activities of continuing operations almost entirely of capital expenditures, which included $3,733 for our green field investment in Russia to expand capacity in DynaEnergetics.
 
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $13,821 which consisted of net cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations of $13,217 and $604 of net cash flows used in investing activities of discontinued operations. Net cash flows of investing activities of continuing operations consisted almost entirely of capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures included $8,146 for our greenfield projects in Russia and North America.

Cash flows from financing activities
 
Net cash flows used in financing activities for nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $4,603, which included net repayments on bank lines of credit of $3,213 and payment of quarterly dividends of $1,667.

Payment of Dividends
 
On August 26, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share which was paid on October 15, 2014.  The dividend totaled $559 and was payable to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2014.  We also paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share in the first and second quarters of 2014 and 2013.
 
We may continue to pay quarterly dividends in the future subject to capital availability and periodic determinations that cash dividends are in compliance with our debt covenants and are in the best interests of our stockholders, but we cannot assure you that such payments will continue.  Future dividends may be affected by, among other items, our views on potential future capital requirements, future business prospects, debt covenant compliance, changes in federal income tax laws, or any other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.  Any decision to pay cash dividends is and will continue to be at the discretion of board of directors.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our critical accounting policies have not changed from those reported in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
 
There have been no events that materially affect our quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk from that reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is accurately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
As of September 30, 2014, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)).  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.  There have been no changes in our internal controls during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 or in other factors that could materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  As a result of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.  As a result of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
