NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note A--Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2016. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Note B--New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.” ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that period. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740)." ASU 2015-17 requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted on either a prospective basis or a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Note C--Net Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net earnings per share:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Basic	$	0.74	$	0.46	$	2.79	$	1.54
Diluted	$	0.73	$	0.45	$	2.76	$	1.52

The Company repurchased a total of 67,556 and 0 shares of its common stock during the three-month periods ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 176,343 and 163,326 shares of its common stock during the nine-month periods ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2016, which were excluded from the calculation of net earnings per share. There were approximately 0.0 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock which were excluded from the calculation of net earnings per share during the three and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2015, respectively, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note D--Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans. During the quarter ended January 31, 2016, the Company did not grant any stock-based compensation awards to employees or non-employee directors. During the nine-months ended January 31, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of non-statutory stock options and performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) to key employees and grants of service-based RSUs to key employees and non-employee directors. The employee non-statutory stock option grants totaled 30,700 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $57.11 per share. The options vest evenly over a three-year period and have a ten-year contractual term. The employee performance-based RSUs totaled 48,201 units and the employee and non-employee director service-based RSUs totaled 22,349 units. The performance-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The service-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if they remain continuously employed with the Company, or on the Board, until the units vest. All of the Company’s RSUs granted to employees cliff-vest three years from the grant date. The service-based RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest daily through the end of the two-year vesting period as long as the recipient continuously remains a member of the Board.

For the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows:



	Three Months Ended January 31,				Nine Months Ended January 31,
(in thousands)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Cost of sales and distribution	$	139	$	88	$	438	$	370
Selling and marketing expenses	254		216		784		689
General and administrative expenses	463		469		1,429		1,478
Stock-based compensation expense	$	856	$	773	$	2,651	$	2,537

During the nine months ended January 31, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company also approved grants of 7,616 cash-settled performance-based restricted stock tracking units (RSTUs) and 2,499 cash-settled service-based RSTUs for more junior level employees. Each performance-based RSTU entitles the recipient to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The service-based RSTUs entitle the recipients to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. All of the RSTUs cliff-vest three years from the grant date. Since the RSTUs will be settled in cash, the grant date fair value of these awards is recorded as a liability until the date of payment. The fair value of each cash-settled RSTU award is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the liability is adjusted, and related expense recorded, based on the new fair value. The Company recognized expense of $94 thousand and $61 thousand for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $595 thousand and $225 thousand for the nine-month periods ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to RSTUs. A liability for payment of the RSTUs is included in the Company's balance sheets in the amount of $1,015 thousand and $420 thousand as of January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2015, respectively.

Total LIFO inventories	$	38,096		$	35,988

Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Since these items are estimated, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Note G--Product Warranty

The Company estimates outstanding warranty costs based on the historical relationship between warranty claims and revenues. The warranty accrual is reviewed monthly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates. Warranty claims are generally made within two months of the original shipment date.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s warranty liability, which is included in other accrued expenses on the balance sheet:

Net periodic pension (benefit) cost	$	71		$	(84	)	$	213		$	(251	)

The Company expects to contribute $5.0 million to its pension plans in fiscal 2016, which represents both required and discretionary funding. As of January 31, 2016, $5.0 million of contributions had been made. The Company made contributions of $4.3 million to its pension plans in fiscal 2015.

Note J--Fair Value Measurements

The Company utilizes the hierarchy of fair value measurements to classify certain of its assets and liabilities based upon the following definitions:

Level 1- Investments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are invested in money market funds, mutual funds and certificates of deposit. The Company’s mutual fund investment assets represent contributions made and invested on behalf of the Company’s executive officers in a supplementary employee retirement plan.

Level 2- Investments with observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 2 assets or liabilities.

Level 3- Investments with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

The following table summarizes the fair values of assets that are recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2015 at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Note K--Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt

The Company's outstanding indebtedness and other obligations to Wells Fargo are unsecured. Under the terms of its revolving credit facility, the Company must (1) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.4 to 1.0; (2) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 measured on a rolling four-quarter basis; and (3) comply with other customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants specified in the credit facility as of January 31, 2016, including as follows: (1) the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth at January 31, 2016 was 0.6 to 1.0; and (2) the Company's ratio of cash flow to fixed charges for its most recent four quarters was 3.2 to 1.0.

On January 25, 2016 the Company entered into a New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) financing agreement, pursuant to section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Kentucky Revised Statutes Sections 141.432 through 141.434, to take advantage of a tax credit related to working capital and capital improvements at its Monticello, Kentucky facility. This financing agreement was structured with unrelated third party financial institutions (the Investors), their wholly-owned investment funds (Investment Funds) and their wholly-owned community development entities (CDEs) in connection with our participation in qualified transactions under the NMTC program. Upon closing the transaction, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company provided a $4.3 million loan receivable to the Investment Funds, which is included in other long term assets in the accompanying

consolidated balance sheets. The Company also entered into loan agreements aggregating $6.6 million payable to the CDEs sponsoring the project. The loans have a term of thirty years with an aggregate interest rate of approximately 1.2%. As of January 31, 2016 the Company had drawn $2.8 million of the loan proceeds, which is included in long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In exchange for substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax credits, the Investors made a contribution of $2.3 million, net of syndication fees, to the project. The NMTC is subject to recapture for a period of seven years, the compliance period. During the compliance period, the Company is required to comply with various regulations and contractual provisions that apply to the NMTC arrangement. We do not anticipate any credit recaptures will be required in connection with this arrangement. This transaction also includes a put/call feature which becomes enforceable at the end of the compliance period whereby we may be obligated or entitled to repurchase the Investors’ interest in the Investment Funds. The value attributable to the put/call is nominal. Direct costs of $0.3 million incurred in structuring the financing arrangement are deferred and will be recognized as expense over the term of the loans (30 years).

Note L--Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2016 were 35.7% and 36.1%, respectively, compared with 33.7% and 33.5%, respectively, in the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year. The higher effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2016 were the result of a federal research and experimentation tax credit for fiscal years 2011 through 2014 of $1.2 million being recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2015.

Note M--Other Information

The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including without limitation product liability and general liability claims, and claims pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such claims may result in a loss. As required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, “Contingencies” (ASC 450), the Company categorizes the various suits and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible, and those that are deemed to be remote. Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible, a range of loss estimates is determined and considered for disclosure. In determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of similar claims and consults with independent counsel.

The Company believes that the aggregate range of loss stemming from the various suits and asserted and unasserted claims which were deemed to be either probable or reasonably possible was not material as of January 31, 2016.

The Company’s critical accounting policies are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements concerning the Company’s expectations, plans, objectives, future financial performance, and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In most cases, the reader can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “expect,” “believe,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “may,” "intend," "estimate," "prospect," "goal," "will," "predict," "potential" or other similar words.

In addition, the Company participates in an industry that is subject to rapidly changing conditions and there are numerous factors that could cause the Company to experience a decline in sales and/or earnings or deterioration in financial condition. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements made in this report include but are not limited to:


•	general economic or business conditions and instability in the financial and credit markets, including their potential impact on our (i) sales and operating costs and access to financing, and (ii) customers and suppliers and their ability to obtain financing or generate the cash necessary to conduct their respective businesses;


•	the cyclical nature of the Company’s industry, which is particularly sensitive to changes in consumer confidence, the amount of consumers’ income available for discretionary purchases, and the availability and terms of consumer credit;


•	economic weakness in a specific channel of distribution;


•	the loss of sales from specific customers due to their loss of market share, bankruptcy or switching to a competitor;


•	risks associated with domestic manufacturing operations and suppliers, including fluctuations in capacity utilization and the prices and availability of key raw materials as well as fuel, transportation, warehousing and labor costs and environmental compliance and remediation costs;


•	the need to respond to price or product initiatives launched by a competitor;


•	the Company’s ability to successfully implement initiatives related to increasing market share, new products, maintaining and increasing its sales force and new product displays; and


•	sales growth at a rate that outpaces the Company’s ability to install new capacity or a sales decline that requires reduction or realignment of the Company’s manufacturing capacity.

Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements is contained in this report, including elsewhere in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and also in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015, filed with the SEC, including under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk." While the Company believes that these risks are manageable and will not adversely impact the long-term performance of the Company, these risks could, under certain circumstances, have a material adverse impact on its operating results and financial condition.

Any forward-looking statement that the Company makes speaks only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or cautionary factors, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Overview

American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction markets. Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers, major builders and home manufacturers, and through a network of independent dealers and distributors. At January 31, 2016, the Company operated 9 manufacturing facilities and 7 service centers across the country.

The three-month period ended January 31, 2016 was the Company’s third quarter of its fiscal year that ends on April 30, 2016 (fiscal 2016). During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company continued to experience improving market conditions from the housing market downturn that began in 2007.

The Company’s remodeling based business was impacted by the following trends during the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2016:


•	Residential investment as a percentage of gross domestic product as tracked by the U.S. Department of Commerce for the fourth calendar quarter of 2015 improved to 3.3% compared to the prior calendar quarter;


•	The median price per existing home sold improved from the same period one year ago by 6.5% according to data provided by the National Association of Realtors, and existing home sales rose 2.4% during the fourth calendar quarter of 2015;


•	The unemployment rate improved to 4.9% as of January 2016 compared to 5.7% as of January 2015 according to data provided by the U.S. Department of Labor;


•	Mortgage interest rates remained low with a thirty-year fixed mortgage rate of approximately 3.87% in January 2016, an increase of approximately 20 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year; and


•	Consumer sentiment as tracked by Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan remained strong at 92.0 in January 2016.

The Company believes there is no single indicator that directly correlates with cabinet remodeling market activity. For this reason, the Company considers other factors in addition to those discussed above as indicators of overall market activity including credit availability, housing affordability and sales reported by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA), a trade organization which issues the aggregate sales that have been reported by its members including the largest

cabinet manufacturers in the United States. Based on the totality of factors listed above, the Company believes that the cabinet remodeling market increased in the mid single digits during the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

The Company’s largest remodeling customers and competitors continued to utilize sales promotions in the Company’s product category to boost sales. These promotions consisted of free products and/or cash discounts to consumers based upon the amount or type of cabinets they purchased. The Company strives to maintain its promotional levels in line with market activity, with a goal of remaining competitive. The Company experienced promotional levels during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 that were higher than those experienced in the same period of the prior year as we responded to competitive positioning and market conditions.

The Company’s remodeling sales increased 9% during both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared with the same prior-year periods. Our Waypoint brand represented approximately 9% of our overall sales and grew by more than 25% during the third quarter and 30% during the first nine months of fiscal 2016, respectively, when compared to the comparable prior-year periods. Management believes that the Company has improved market share within the dealer channel while maintaining market share within big box retailers. However, we understand big box home improvement retailers have lost market share to other channels, primarily independent dealers due to the more affluent nature of their customer base.

Regarding new construction markets, the Company believes that fluctuations in single-family housing starts are the best indicator of cabinet activity. Assuming a sixty to ninety day lag between housing starts and the installation of cabinetry, single-family housing starts rose by approximately 11% during the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2016 over the comparable prior year period.

Sales in the new construction channel increased by more than 22% in the third quarter and by 20% in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 when compared with the same periods of fiscal 2015. The Company believes it continued to over index the market due to share penetration with our builder partners and the health of the markets where we concentrate our business.

The Company’s total net sales rose by 16% during the third quarter and 14% during the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to the same prior-year periods, which management believes was driven primarily by a rise in the overall market activity.

As of January 31, 2016, the Company had total net deferred tax assets of $28.4 million, down from $33.4 million at April 30, 2015. The Company regularly considers the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company had a history of profitable operations for 16 consecutive years, from 1994 to 2009, followed by losses that coincided with the industry downturn from 2010 to 2012. Growth in the Company’s deferred tax assets resulted primarily from growth in its defined benefit pension liabilities. The Company earned sufficient net income during fiscal 2013 to fully utilize all of its U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward. To fully realize the remainder of its net deferred tax assets, the Company will need to, among other things, substantially reduce its net unfunded pension obligation of $61.3 million at April 30, 2015. To enhance the probability that this objective is achieved in the future, the Company took definitive actions when it froze its pension plans as part of a restructuring initiative that the Company announced in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and completed just after the beginning of the Company's 2013 fiscal year (2012 Restructuring).

The Company resumed the funding of its pension plans during fiscal year 2012, and expects to continue funding these plans for the foreseeable future, which will reduce both its unfunded pension plan obligation and its deferred tax asset. These actions, coupled with the recent improvement in the U.S. housing market and the Company’s continued ability to grow its sales at a faster rate than its competitors, have enabled the Company to generate net income and reduce its deferred tax assets and unfunded pension obligation beginning in fiscal 2013 and continuing through the first nine months of fiscal 2016. The Company believes that the positive evidence of the housing industry improvement, coupled with the benefits from the Company’s successful 2012 Restructuring and continued market share gains have already driven a return to profitability that is expected to continue during the remainder of fiscal 2016, and that the combined impact of these positive factors outweighs the negative factor of the Company’s previous losses. Accordingly, management has concluded it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets.

The Company earned net income of $12.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with $7.3 million in the third quarter of its prior fiscal year, and earned net income of $45.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared with $24.2 million in the same period of the prior year. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 includes a $1.2 million one-time federal research and experimentation tax credit for fiscal years 2011 through 2014.

Results of Operations



	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

(in thousands)	2016		2015		Percent Change		2016		2015		Percent Change

Net Sales. Net sales were $218.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, an increase of 16% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2015. For the first nine months of fiscal 2016, net sales were $706.1 million, reflecting a 14% increase compared with the same period of fiscal 2015. Overall unit volume for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2016 improved by 14% and 11%, respectively. Average revenue per unit increased 2% and 3% during the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2016, driven by improvements in the Company’s sales mix and pricing.

Gross Profit. Gross profit margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was 20.4%, compared with 18.6% for the same period of fiscal 2015. Gross profit margin was 21.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared with 17.7% in the same period of fiscal 2015. Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was favorably impacted by higher sales volume, customer management, product mix, pricing and improved operating efficiency. Gross profit in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 also benefited from favorable leverage on our fixed and semi-fixed overhead costs due to additional volume.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were 7.6% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with 8.5% of net sales for same period in fiscal 2015. For the first nine months of fiscal 2016, selling and marketing expenses were 7.0% of net sales, compared with 7.7% of net sales for the same period of fiscal 2015. Selling and marketing costs increased by 4% in relation to the 16% increase in net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2016, and increased by 3% in relation to the 14% increase in net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2016. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2016 is due to favorable leverage from increased sales and lower display and product launch costs.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were 4.2% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with 4.3% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, and 4.3% of net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared with 4.0% of net sales in the same period in fiscal 2015. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 is due to favorable leverage from increased sales and ongoing expense control. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2016 is due to higher performance based compensation costs.

Effective Income Tax Rates. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2016 were 35.7% and 36.1%, respectively, compared with 33.7% and 33.5%, respectively, in the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year. The higher effective tax rates in fiscal 2016 as compared to fiscal 2015 were the result of a federal research and experimentation tax credit for fiscal years 2011 through 2014 of $1.2 million being recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2015.

Outlook. The Company believes that the average price of existing home sales will continue to increase driven by growth in both employment and a resumption of growth in new household formation. In this environment, the Company expects the cabinet remodeling market will show modest improvement during the remainder of fiscal 2016 but overall activity will continue to be below historical averages. Within the cabinet remodeling market, the Company expects independent dealers to outperform other channels of distribution primarily due to their more affluent customer base. As a result, the Company expects its remodeling sales for the remainder of fiscal 2016 to be at the overall industry growth rate. The Company expects to maintain its market share in the home center channel and to increase share in the dealer channel.

The Company expects that single-family housing starts and in turn, new construction cabinet sales, will grow at a high-single digit rate during the remainder of its fiscal year 2016, and that the Company’s new construction sales growth will continue to exceed this level for the remainder of its current fiscal year, but by a lesser rate than fiscal 2015, as comparable prior year sales levels become more challenging.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $164.7 million at January 31, 2016, representing a $15.2 million increase from its April 30, 2015 levels. At January 31, 2016, total long-term debt (including current maturities) was $25.2 million, an increase of $2.2 million from its balance at April 30, 2015. The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital was 7.8% at January 31, 2016, compared with 8.6% at April 30, 2015.

The Company’s main sources of liquidity are its existing cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from its operating activities. The Company can borrow up to $35 million under its revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo). At January 31, 2016, $10 million of loans and $3.0 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the facility, and the Company had additional borrowing base availability of $25.0 million.

The Company's outstanding indebtedness and other obligations to Wells Fargo are unsecured. Under the terms of its revolving credit facility, the Company must: (1) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.4 to 1.0; (2) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 measured on a rolling four-quarter basis; and (3) comply with other customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants specified in the credit facility as of January 31, 2016, including as follows: (1) the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth at January 31, 2016 was 0.6 to 1.0; and (2) cash flow to fixed charges for its most recent four quarters was 3.2 to 1.0.

The revolving credit facility does not limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends or repurchase its common shares as long as the Company is in compliance with these covenants.

Cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was $50.9 million, compared with $36.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2015. The increase in cash generated by operating activities was driven primarily by the $21.2 million increase in the Company’s net income, which was partially offset by an increase in customer receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses consistent with higher sales.

The Company’s investing activities primarily consist of investment in property, plant and equipment and promotional displays. Net cash used for investing activities was $33.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared with $43.5 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2015. The decrease in cash used was driven by a $24.5 million decrease in investment in certificates of deposit, offset by a $13.3 million increase in outflows for investment in property, plant and equipment, and a $1.5 million increase in promotional displays. The Company’s year-to-date gross investment in property, plant and equipment and promotional displays for fiscal 2016 was $28.8 million through January 31, 2016. On August 21, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a $30 million capital expansion project at its West Virginia facility. The Company expects to incur spending of approximately $2 million related to this expansion in the remainder of fiscal 2016.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2016, net cash used by financing activities was $2.1 million, compared with net cash provided of $4.3 million in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was driven by the Company’s receipt of $7.7 million during the current fiscal year from employees’ exercise of stock options compared to $10.0 million in the same period of the prior year, as well as stock repurchases of $12.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to $5.1 million in the same period of the prior year.

On November 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized repurchases of up to $25 million of the Company's common shares. On November 19, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $20 million of the Company's common shares. This authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 20, 2014. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms the Company deems appropriate and subject to the Company's cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under the Company’s revolving credit facility, and other factors management deems relevant. At January 31, 2016, $33.0 million remained authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors to repurchase the Company’s common shares. The Company purchased a total of 176,343 common shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $12.0 million, during the first nine months of fiscal 2016, under the authorizations. The Company continues to evaluate its cash on hand and prospects for future cash generation, and compare these against its plans for future capital expenditures. Although the evaluation of its future capital expenditures is ongoing, the Company expects that it will make repurchases of its common shares from time to time during the remainder of the fiscal year, subject to the Company’s financial condition, capital requirements, results of operations and any other factors then deemed relevant. See Item 2, "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds" for further information on share repurchases.

Cash flow from operations combined with accumulated cash and cash equivalents on hand are expected to be more than sufficient to support forecasted working capital requirements, service existing debt obligations and fund capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2016.

Seasonal and Inflationary Factors

The Company’s business has historically been subject to seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized in the second and fourth fiscal quarters.

The costs of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations. The Company has generally been able over time to recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price increases.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Since the end of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015, the Company has had no material exposure to changes in interest rates for its debt agreements.

The Company does not currently use commodity or interest rate derivatives or similar financial instruments to manage its commodity price or interest rate risks. See “Seasonal and Inflationary Factors” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations above for additional information regarding the effects inflation and commodity price fluctuations have on the costs of the Company’s products.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2016. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. In addition, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended January 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various suits and claims in the normal course of business all of which constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business. The Company is not party to any material litigation that does not constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to its business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk factors that may affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition are described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 and there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed.

(1) On November 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a repurchase of up to $25 million of the Company's common shares. On November 19, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $20 million of the Company's common shares. This authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 20, 2014. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms the Company deems appropriate and subject to the Company's cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under the Company's revolving credit facility, and other factors management deems relevant. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific number of shares during any period, and the authorization may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board. Management expects to fund share repurchases using available cash and cash generated from operations. Repurchased shares will become authorized but unissued common shares. In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company repurchased 67,556 common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million, under the authorization, pursuant to a repurchase plan intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. At January 31, 2016, $33.0 million remained authorized by the Company's Board of Directors to repurchase the Company's common shares.
