SMYRNA, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Steel Connect, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: STCN) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended April 30, 2022.
“For the third quarter, ModusLink remained focused on driving growth with our current and new customers.” said Interim Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman Warren Lichtenstein. “We continue to rightsize the business based on current and expected demand while closely managing costs. In addition, we have significantly deleveraged the balance sheet due to the disposition of IWCO Direct, and we have positive working capital.”
Disposition of IWCO Direct
As previously announced, on February 25, 2022, the Company completed the full disposition of IWCO Direct Holdings, Inc. (“IWCO Direct”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to an investor group led by affiliates of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., IWCO Direct’s senior secured lender. The Company received no cash consideration for the disposition and, following the disposition, has no net debt associated with IWCO Direct. The Company recognized a gain of $38.0 million upon deconsolidation. The historical results of IWCO Direct are included in the financial statements for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, and are presented as a discontinued operation. ModusLink Corporation (“ModusLink”) is unaffected by the disposition of IWCO Direct.
Proposed Merger with Steel Holdings
On June 12, 2022, the Company, Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (“Steel Holdings”) and SP Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Steel Holdings (“Merger Sub”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Steel Holdings. The Merger Agreement provides that each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than dissenting shares and shares owned by the Company, Steel Holdings or any of their respective subsidiaries) shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, be converted into the right to receive (i) $1.35 in cash, without interest and (ii) one contingent value right to receive a pro rata share of the proceeds received by the Company, Steel Holdings or any of their affiliates with respect to the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the assets currently owned by ModusLink within two years of the Merger’s closing date, to the extent such proceeds exceed $80 million plus certain related costs and expenses. Steel Holdings and certain of its affiliates have also entered into a Voting and Support Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, they have agreed to vote all shares of common stock and Series C Preferred Stock beneficially owned by them in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and any alternative acquisition agreement approved by the Company’s board of directors (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee).
The Merger Agreement includes a “go-shop” period that expires at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on July 12, 2022, during which the Company may actively solicit and consider alternative acquisition proposals. There can be no assurances that the “go-shop” process will result in a superior proposal, and Steel Connect does not intend to communicate developments regarding the process unless and until Steel Connect determines that additional disclosure is required or desirable.
The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon receipt of approval of the Merger from (i) the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock and Series C Preferred Stock of the Company (voting on an as converted to shares of common stock basis), voting together as a single class, (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company not owned, directly or indirectly, by Steel Holdings, its affiliates and related parties, and any other officers or directors of the Company and (iii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, voting as a separate class, as well as other customary closing conditions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the Merger on the expected timeline or at all. Subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions to closing, including the receipt of the separate stockholder approvals, the Merger is expected to close in the second half of 2022.
The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”), acting on the unanimous recommendation of the special committee of the Company Board (the “Special Committee”), and the Board of Directors of Steel Partner Holdings GP Inc., the general partner of Steel Holdings, approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (such transactions, collectively, the “Transactions”) and resolved to recommend the stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Transactions. The Special Committee, which is comprised solely of independent and disinterested directors of the Company who are unaffiliated with Steel Holdings, exclusively negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement with Steel Holdings, with the assistance of its independent financial and legal advisors.

Net Revenue
Net revenue from continuing operations for the third quarter increased $2.1 million, or 4.3%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase in net revenue was primarily driven by higher volume associated with clients in the computing and consumer electronics markets.
Net revenue from continuing operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 decreased $28.3 million, or 15.9%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower volume associated with clients in the computing and consumer electronics markets, which have been negatively impacted by global market shortage of semiconductor and other electrical component supplies.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue from continuing operations for the third quarter increased $2.8 million, or 7.0%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased material and labor costs from higher sales volume. The Company’s gross margin percentage decreased by 210 basis points to 17.9%, as compared to 20.0% for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher labor and material costs, not completely offset by the higher revenues.
Cost of revenue from continuing operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 decreased $18.6 million, or 13.3%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to decreased material and labor costs from lower sales volume associated with clients in the computing and consumer electronics markets. The Company’s gross margin percentage decreased by 230 basis points to 19.7%, as compared to 22.0% for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower revenues and higher labor costs.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the third quarter decreased $3.2 million, or 25.8%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in SG&A expenses is primarily due to lower costs associated with the information technology function for the Supply Chain segment.
SG&A expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 decreased $7.9 million, or 21.4%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. SG&A expenses for the Supply Chain segment decreased primarily due to lower costs associated with the information technology function. Corporate-level activity decreased primarily due to a decrease in professional fees and employee related costs.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 did not change significantly as compared to the same period in the prior year.
All Other Expenses, Net
All other expenses, net are primarily composed of foreign exchange gains and losses. The Company recorded $2.2 million and $0.2 million of foreign exchange gains during the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recorded $1.6 million of foreign exchange gains and $4.0 million of foreign exchange losses during the nine months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the third quarter increased $4.7 million as compared to the same period in the prior year and for the nine months increased $3.9 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases are primarily due to the income tax expense associated with an increase in the valuation allowance recorded on deferred tax assets as a result of the IWCO Direct disposal during the three months ended April 30, 2022.
Loss From Continuing Operations, Net of Income Tax
Loss from continuing operations, net of income tax for the third quarter increased $0.4 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in loss from continuing operations, net of income tax is primarily due to the increase in income taxes, partially offset by an increase in operating income.
Loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes for the nine months increased $0.7 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in loss from continuing operations, net of income tax is primarily due to the increase in income taxes, partially offset by an increase in foreign exchange gains and an increase in operating income.
Additions to Property and Equipment (Capital Expenditures)
Capital expenditures for the third quarter totaled $0.3 million, or 0.6% of net revenue, as compared to $0.2 million, or 0.5% of net revenue, for the same period in the prior year. Capital expenditures for the nine months totaled $1.1 million, or 0.8% of net revenue, as compared to $0.9 million, or 0.5% of net revenue, for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to reduced capital spending in the prior year as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.3 million for the third quarter as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to reduced operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.5 million, or 62.3%, for the nine months as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to reduced gross profit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $49.9 million and ModusLink had readily available borrowing capacity of $12.2 million under its revolving credit facility with Umpqua Bank.
As of April 30, 2022, total debt outstanding, net of unamortized discounts and issuance costs, was $10.5 million, which was comprised of $14.9 million outstanding on the 7.50% Convertible Senior Note due March 1, 2024, less unamortized discounts and issuance costs.
