MAKING ROBOTICS MAKE SENSE

Advantages of Leasing

• Allows Company to take advantage of ROI and see savings without a large Capital Investment

• Preserves Company Capital for other uses• Lease is Collateralized by Equipment

– Often does not impact the Company’s Credit Line• For Capitalized Lease, can take full advantage of IRS

Section 179 Bonus Depreciation

• Durabotics has Associations with:– GCI Leasing– Kraus Anderson Leasing– M&I Leasing

• Durabotics is not involved with the Lease– Leasing company and Customer have the Lease– Durabotics facilitates by getting parties together– Durabotics benefit from the lease is the sale of the equipment– Customer can get their own leasing source…our sources are provided as a

courtesy• Advantages to Durabotics for Customer to use a lease

– Customer can more readily afford equipment – big down payments and capital outlays are no longer an issue.

– Payments come on time– Cash advantage for both parties - DB gets progress payments, such as 30%

down, 30% on design review, 30% on acceptance run-off, 10% on Final Acceptance, BUT customer only pays First and Last Month’s payment…and in many cases, just the first payment.

– Once sold, the Lease is between Leasing Company and Customer, Durabotics responsibilities are same as for any other transaction.

TWO BASIC TYPES OF LEASES

• Capitalized Lease – Usually 3-7 year term– Less than 10% Buyout – Usually $1 buyout– Impacts Capital Budget - Equipment is Capitalized

• Shows up on Companies Books as Asset/Liability– Company gets the depreciation

• Operating Lease – Usually 3-7 year term– 10% or Greater Buyout at end of lease*– Impacts Operating Budget – often can be initiated by Plant Manager without

going to upper management, committees, etc.• Does not show up on company balance sheet

– Company does not own at the end unless they pay the 10% buyout– Leasing Company gets the Depreciation

Note: there are many other options – these are only examples.

*for 5 year term, 10% buyout is the equivalent of about 4 monthly payments

Current Lease Rates – typical “high side” estimates*

• Capitalized Lease– 5 Year - $1 Buyout – Cost of Equipment x .021– 3 Year - $1 Buyout – Cost of Equipment x .032

• Operating Lease– 5 Year – 10% Buyout – Cost of Equipment x .020– 3 Year – 10% Buyout – Cost of Equipment x .030

– 5 Year – 20% Buyout – Cost of Equipment x .018– 3 Year – 20% Buyout – Cost of Equipment x .027

• *These are High-End Estimates to be used for Budgeting– Actual rates vary daily and depend upon Customer’s Credit Rating, Financial

Situation, etc• The above are examples only.

– There are many different Term and Buyout arrangements possible

Over-Simplified Example

Average cost of employee full burden with benefits• General Industry - $30,000• Food Industry - $45,000-$55,000• Medical Device and Pharmaceutical Industries - $50,000-$60,000 and up

Replacing 2 people, 2 shifts – 4 x $30,000 = $120,000/year = $10,000/monthTypical cost of Robot System that replaces 2 people/2shifts = $200,000 approx

(can vary widely)ROI on labor alone = $200,000/$120,000 = 1.7 years*Typical Lease Payment (5 year, $1 buyout) = $4,200/moYour cash outlay = 1st/last payment = 2 x $4,200/mo = $8,400You save:

Monthly – Currently monthly labor – lease payment= $10,000/mo - $4,200/mo = $5,800

savings/mo

Investment recoup = $10,000/$5,800 < less than 2 months!

Additional ROI – Improved efficiency, Uptime, Scrap Rate, Costs associated with injuries, etc Additional Costs Ignored – Maintenance, spare parts, etc

OK – you were thinking of a SMALLER system – It still works!

Average cost of employee - $30,000 with benefits (general industry)

Replacing 1 person, 2 shifts – 2 x $30,000 = $60,000/year = $5,000/month

Typical cost of Robot System that replaces 1 person,2 shifts = $120,000 approx (can vary widely)

ROI on labor alone = $120,000/$60,000 = 2 years*

Typical Lease Payment (5 year, $1 buyout) = $2,500/mo

Your cash outlay = 1st/last payment = 2 x $2,500/mo = $5,000

You save:

Monthly – Currently monthly labor – lease payment

= $5,000/mo - $2,500/mo = $2,500 savings/mo

Investment recoup = $5,000/$2,500 = 2 months!

Extra Help from Uncle Sam: Bonus Depreciation!

SUMMARY OF ABOVE EXAMPLE for a $245,000 PURCHASE

These savings assume certain tax rates and other assumptions, and are provided to demonstrate concept. Customer must verify with their own tax and accounting professionals.

Reasons Why Not to Lease?

• Customer cannot guarantee 3 years or 5 years of production– Valid point – probably wouldn’t justify a straight

capital purchase either

• Our Company doesn’t do leases– Ask Question: Do you have a copy machine?– Fact is: they may not have considered it.

Durabotics Challenge

• Durabotics is not selling leases. We have several Leasing Companies that are Custom-Project Friendly

• It does not matter to us if the customer finds their own package from their own sources.

• Our objective is to make our customers aware of this type of financing tool
