NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1.ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CSW Industrials, Inc. (“CSWI,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a diversified industrial growth company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration ("HVAC/R"), plumbing products, grilles, registers and diffusers ("GRD"), building safety solutions and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, energy, rail, mining and general industrial. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and Vietnam, and we have distribution operations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our products are sold directly to end users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, primarily including Australia, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S.
Many of our products are used to protect the capital assets of our customers that are expensive to repair or replace and are critical to their operations. We have a source of recurring revenue from the maintenance, repair, overhaul and consumable nature of many of our products. We also provide some custom engineered products that strengthen and enhance our customer relationships. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as RectorSeal No. 5®, Kopr-Kote®, KATS Coatings®, Safe-T-Switch®, Air Sentry®, Deacon®, Leak Freeze®, Greco®, TRUaire® and Shoemaker Manufacturing®.
During the three months of our prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic had an indirect impact on our operations including material and freight cost inflation, supply chain disruptions and freight delays, driven by numerous factors including government actions, labor supply shortages and recovering demand. In addition, COVID-19 and its indirect effects also contributed to increased demand in certain parts of our business, including the HVAC/R end market. During the three months of our current fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the direct impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our consolidated operating results was immaterial as economic activities recovered and the effects of the pandemic lessened. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, material costs stabilized and freight costs and delays improved when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022; we also continued our pricing initiatives, that began in the three months ended March 31, 2021, to address the indirect impact from COVID-19. We expect material and freight cost volatility, supply chain uncertainty and freight delays to continue in the near-term.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, potential subsequent waves of COVID-19 infection or potential new variants, the effectiveness and adoption of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics, the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic, its impact on our employees, customers and suppliers, the broader implications of the macro-economic recovery on our business, and the extent to which normal economic and operating conditions are impacted. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time.
We are closely monitoring the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its global impacts. We have no operations, employees or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, nor do we source goods or services of any material amount from those countries, whether directly or indirectly. Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, we indefinitely suspended all commercial activities in Russia. Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we had no sales into Belarus or Ukraine. While the conflict continues to evolve and the outcome remains highly uncertain, we do not currently believe the Russia-Ukraine conflict will have a material impact on our business and results of operations. However, if the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues or worsens, leading to greater global economic or political disruptions and uncertainty, our business and results of operations could be materially impacted as a result.

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022 (“Quarterly Report”), include all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities directly attributable to CSWI and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements are for us and our consolidated subsidiaries, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary, except our 50% investment in a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary and therefore have consolidated into our financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of CSWI’s financial position as of June 30, 2022, and the results of operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in CSWI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”).
Accounting Policies
We have consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Developments
Pronouncements Implemented
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers." This update improves comparability for both the recognition and measurement of acquired customer revenue contracts at the date of and after a business combination. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company early adopted the ASU 2021-08 on a prospective basis on April 1, 2022 and did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Pronouncements not yet implemented
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This update provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as interbank offered rates and LIBOR. This ASU includes practical expedients for contract modifications due to reference rate reform. Generally, contract modifications related to reference rate reform may be considered an event that does not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination at the modification date. This ASU is effective immediately; however, it is only available through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

2. ACQUISITIONS
Shoemaker Manufacturing, LLC
On December 15, 2021, we acquired 100% of outstanding equity of Shoemaker Manufacturing, LLC (“Shoemaker”), based in Cle Elum, Washington, for an aggregate purchase price of $43.5 million, including preliminary working capital and closing cash adjustments and contingent consideration. Shoemaker offers high-quality customizable GRD for commercial and residential markets, and expands CSWI’s HVAC/R product offering and regional exposure in the northwest U.S. The aggregate purchase price was comprised of cash consideration of $38.5 million (including $1.2 million cash acquired), 25,483 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $3.0 million at transaction close and additional contingent consideration of $2.0 million based on Shoemaker meeting a defined financial target during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility. The 25,483 shares of common stock delivered to the sellers as consideration were issued from treasury shares. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation was classified as a current liability of $2.0 million and was determined using a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results. In May 2022, the full contingent consideration amount of $2.0 million was remitted to the sellers due to the performance obligation being met.
The Shoemaker acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805"). The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was $8.1 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning a more extensive GRD product portfolio for the HVAC/R market and increased regional exposure to the northwest U.S. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired included customer lists ($23.0 million), trademarks ($6.5 million), noncompete agreements ($0.7 million), backlog ($0.3 million), inventory ($3.6 million), accounts receivable ($1.7 million), cash ($1.2 million), equipment ($1.4 million) and prepaid expenses ($0.2 million), net of current liabilities ($3.2 million). Customer lists, noncompete agreements and backlog are being amortized over 15 years, 5 years and 1 month, respectively, while trademarks and goodwill are not being amortized. The Company's evaluation of the facts and circumstances available of December 15, 2021, to assign fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is ongoing. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill and all intangible assets, including customer lists, trademarks, noncompete agreements and backlog are deductible and amortized over 15 years for income tax purposes. Shoemaker activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.
3. CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
Whitmore Joint Venture
On April 1, 2021, Whitmore Manufacturing, LLC (“Whitmore”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSWI, completed the formation of the previously announced joint venture (the "Whitmore JV") with Pennzoil-Quaker State Company dba SOPUS Products (“Shell”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell Oil Company that comprises Shell’s U.S. lubricants business. The formation was consummated through a transaction in which Whitmore sold to Shell a 50% interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary (containing certain existing operating assets) in exchange for consideration of $13.4 million from Shell in the form of cash ($5.3 million) and intangible assets ($8.1 million). The Whitmore JV has been consolidated into the operations of the Company and its activity has been included in our Specialized Reliability Solutions segment since the formation date.
The Whitmore JV is deemed to be a VIE as the equity investors at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The major factor that led to the conclusion that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE is that Whitmore has the power to direct the most significant activities due to its ability to direct the manufacturing decisions of the Whitmore JV. Whitmore JV's total net assets are presented below (in thousands):

Total liabilities | $ | 6,798 |
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Whitmore JV generated net income of $0.4 million.
The Whitmore JV's LLC Agreement contains a put option that gives either member the right to sell its 50% equity interest in the Whitmore JV to the other member at a dollar amount equivalent to 90% of the initiating member's equity interest determined based on the fair market value of the Whitmore JV's net assets. This put option can be exercised, at either member's discretion, by providing written notice to the other member after three years from the Whitmore JV's formation, subject to certain timing restrictions. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the higher of the redemption value or carrying value each reporting period. Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interest for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):
Balance at March 31, 2022 | $ | 15,325 | |||

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, Joe Armes, the Company's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, was awarded a series of long-term incentive awards with the purpose of retaining his service over a long-term period and promoting successful succession planning and transition practices. Mr. Armes' awards include 31,496 shares of restricted stock (which cliff vest on March 31, 2026), 27,559 performance shares (which vest in equal amounts on each of March 31, 2025, 2026 and 2027, subject to performance criteria being achieved) and 19,685 performance restricted stock units (40% of which vest upon recruiting of a successor CEO and 60% of which vest upon the first employment anniversary of the successor CEO).
During the restriction period, the holders of restricted shares are entitled to vote and receive dividends. Unvested restricted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 included 100,082 and 102,001 shares (at target), respectively, with performance-based vesting provisions, and a vesting range of 0%-200% based on pre-defined performance targets with market conditions. Performance-based awards accrue dividend equivalents, which are settled upon (and to the extent of) vesting of the underlying award and do not have the right to vote until vested. Performance-based awards are earned upon the achievement of objective performance targets and are payable in common shares. Compensation expense is calculated based on the fair market value as determined by a Monte Carlo simulation and is recognized over a 36-month cliff vesting period. We granted 21,087 and 47,845 awards with performance-based vesting provisions during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with a vesting range of 0%-200%.
11
At June 30, 2022, we had unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted shares of $21.0 million, which will be amortized into net income over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 3.2 years. The total fair value of restricted shares granted during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $3.4 million and $17.2 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $5.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility
As discussed in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report, in the three months of our prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, we maintained a five-year, $300.0 million revolving credit facility agreement (the "First Credit Agreement"), which was scheduled to mature on September 15, 2022. Borrowings in the U.S. under this facility bore interest at a rate of prime plus between 0.25% to 1.5% or London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus between 1.25% to 2.5% based on our quarterly leverage ratio. We also paid a commitment fee between 0.15% to 0.4% for the unutilized portion of this facility.
On May 18, 2021, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Credit Agreement”), which replaced the First Credit Agreement and provides for a $400 million revolving credit facility that contains a $25 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10 million sublimit for swingline loans, with an additional $150 million accordion feature (the term "Revolving Credit Facility" as used throughout this document refers to both the First Credit Agreement and Second Credit Agreement, as applicable). The Second Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on May 18, 2026. The Company incurred a total of $2.3 million in underwriting discounts and fees, which are being amortized over the life of the Second Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Second Credit Agreement bear interest at either base rate plus between 0.25% to 1.5% or LIBOR plus between 1.25% to 2.5%, based on the Company’s leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis. The base rate is described in the Second Credit Agreement as the highest of (i) the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal, and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. We pay a commitment fee between 0.15% to 0.4% based on the Company's leverage ratio for the unutilized portion of this facility. Interest and commitment fees are payable at least quarterly and the outstanding principal balance is due at the maturity date. The Second Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all tangible and intangible assets and stock issued by the Borrower and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to specified exceptions, and 65% of the voting equity interests in its first-tier foreign subsidiaries.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we borrowed $34.8 million and repaid $13.8 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, we had $264.0 million and $243.0 million, respectively, in our outstanding balance, which resulted in borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility of $136.0 million and $157.0 million, respectively. The financial covenants contained in the Second Credit Agreement require the maintenance of a maximum leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, subject to a temporary increase to 3.75 to 1.00 for 18 months following the consummation of permitted acquisitions with consideration in excess of certain threshold amounts set forth in the Second Credit Agreement. The Second Credit Agreement also requires the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00, the calculations and terms of which are defined in the Second Credit Agreement. Covenant compliance is tested quarterly, and we were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2022.

Whitmore Term Loan
In July 2014, Whitmore secured a term loan (the "Whitmore Term Loan") related to a warehouse and corporate office building and the remodel of an existing manufacturing and research and development facility. The Whitmore Term Loan matures on July 31, 2029 and requires payments of $140,000 each quarter. Borrowings under this term loan bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 2.0%. As of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, Whitmore Manufacturing had $9.6 million and $9.8 million, respectively, in principal amount outstanding under the Whitmore Term Loan. Interest payments under the Whitmore Term Loan are hedged under an interest rate swap agreement as described in Note 9.
8. LEASES
We have operating leases for manufacturing facilities, offices, warehouses, vehicles and certain equipment.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We have an interest rate swap agreement to hedge exposure to floating interest rates on the Whitmore Term Loan, as discussed in Note 7. As of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, we had $9.6 million and $9.8 million, respectively, of notional amount outstanding designated as an interest rate swap with third parties. The interest rate swap is highly effective. At June 30, 2022, the maximum remaining length of the interest rate swap contract was approximately 7.1 years. The fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument is summarized below (in thousands):

11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Share Repurchase Program
On November 7, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $75.0 million of our common stock over a two-year period. On October 30, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock, which replaced the previously announced $75.0 million program. Under the current repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases will be made at our discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. Our Board of Directors has established an expiration date of December 31, 2022, for completion of the current repurchase program; however, the program may be limited or terminated at any time at our discretion without notice. Under the current repurchase program, 287,990 shares were repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 for $30.5 million, and no shares were repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, a total of 414,105 shares had been repurchased for an aggregate amount of $44.9 million under the current $100.0 million program. A total of 740,137 shares were repurchased for an aggregate amount of $46.0 million under the prior $75.0 million program before it was replaced with the current repurchase program.
Dividends
On April 4, 2019, we commenced a quarterly dividend program at an inaugural rate of $0.135 per share. On April 15, 2021, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.15 per share. On April 14, 2022, we announced another quarterly dividend increase to $0.17 per share. Total dividends of $2.7 million and $2.4 million were paid during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
On July 15, 2022, we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share payable on August 12, 2022 to shareholders of record as of July 29, 2022. Any future dividends at the existing $0.17 per share quarterly rate or otherwise will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion.
15
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the interest rate swap contract (as discussed in Note 9) is determined using Level 2 inputs. The carrying value of our debt (discussed in Note 7) approximates fair value as it bears interest at floating rates. The carrying amounts of other financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable) approximate their fair values at June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 due to their short-term nature.
The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the higher of the redemption value or carrying value each reporting period. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires management judgment with respect to future revenue, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates and is classified as Level III under the fair value hierarchy. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is discussed in Note 3.
13. RETIREMENT PLANS
Refer to Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report for a description of our retirement and postretirement benefits.
The following tables set forth the combined net pension benefit recognized in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all plans (in thousands):

14. CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no matters pending, whether individually or in the aggregate, that we currently believe have a reasonable possibility of having a material impact to our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
15. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we earned $39.3 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $9.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.5%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to state income taxes, executive compensation limitations and provision for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"), partially offset by excess tax deductions related to foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII"), deductions related to stock compensation and foreign tax credits.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we earned $27.2 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $6.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.9%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to state and foreign income taxes, executive compensation limitation and provision for GILTI, partially offset by excess tax deductions related to stock compensation and deductions related to FDII and foreign tax credits.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our operations financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report, as well as our consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations relating to future events and our future performance that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those risk factors set forth in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
CSWI is a diversified industrial growth company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration ("HVAC/R"), plumbing products, grilles, registers and diffusers ("GRD"), building safety solutions and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, energy, rail, mining and general industrial. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and Vietnam, and we have distribution operations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our products are sold directly to end users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, primarily including Australia, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S.
Many of our products are used to protect the capital assets of our customers that are expensive to repair or replace and are critical to their operations. We have a source of recurring revenue from the maintenance, repair and overhaul and consumable nature of many of our products. We also provide some custom engineered products that strengthen and enhance our customer relationships. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as RectorSeal No. 5®, Kopr-Kote®, KATS Coatings®, Safe-T-Switch®, Air Sentry®, Deacon®, Leak Freeze®, Greco®, TRUaire® and Shoemaker Manufacturing®.
We operate in three business segments: Contractor Solutions, Engineered Building Solutions and Specialized Reliability Solutions. Our Contractor Solutions segment manufactures efficiency and performance enhancing products predominantly for residential and commercial HVAC/R and plumbing applications, which are designed primarily for professional end-use customers. Our Engineered Building Solutions segment provides primarily code-driven, life-safety products that are engineered to provide aesthetically-pleasing solutions for the construction, refurbishment and modernization of commercial, institutional and multi-family residential buildings. Our Specialized Reliability Solutions segment provides products for increasing reliability, efficiency, performance and lifespan of industrial assets and solving equipment maintenance challenges.
We believe that our broad portfolio of products and markets served, as well as our brand recognition, will continue to provide opportunities; however, we face ongoing challenges affecting many companies, such as environmental and other regulatory compliance, combined with overall global economic uncertainty.
During the three months of our prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic had an indirect impact on our operations including material and freight cost inflation, supply chain disruptions and freight delays, driven by numerous factors including government actions, labor supply shortages and recovering demand. In addition, COVID-19 and its indirect effects also contributed to increased demand in certain parts of our business, including the HVAC/R end market. During the three months of our current fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the direct impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our consolidated operating results was immaterial as economic activities recovered and the effects of the pandemic lessened. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, material costs stabilized and freight costs and delays improved when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022; we also continued our pricing initiatives, that began in the three months ended March 31, 2021, to address the indirect impact from COVID-19. We expect material and freight cost volatility, supply chain uncertainty and freight delays to continue in the near-term.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, potential subsequent waves of COVID-19 infection or potential new variants, the effectiveness and adoption of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics, the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic, its impact on our employees, customers and suppliers, the broader implications of the macro-economic recovery on our business, and the extent to which normal economic and operating conditions are impacted. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time.
19
We are closely monitoring the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its global impacts. We have no operations, employees or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, nor do we source goods or services of any material amount from those countries, whether directly or indirectly. Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, we indefinitely suspended all commercial activities in Russia. Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we had no sales into Belarus or Ukraine. While the conflict continues to evolve and the outcome remains highly uncertain, we do not currently believe the Russia-Ukraine conflict will have a material impact on our business and results of operations. However, if the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues or worsens, leading to greater global economic or political disruptions and uncertainty, our business and results of operations could be materially impacted as a result.
Our Outlook
We expect to maintain a strong balance sheet in fiscal year 2023, which provides us with access to capital through our cash on hand, internally-generated cash flow and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our capital allocation strategy continues to guide our investing decisions, with a priority to direct capital to the highest risk adjusted return opportunities, within the categories of organic growth, strategic acquisitions and the return of cash to shareholders through our share repurchase and dividend programs. With the strength of our financial position, we will continue to invest in financially and strategically attractive expanded product offerings, key elements of our long-term strategy of targeting long-term profitable growth. We will continue to invest our capital in maintaining our facilities and in continuous improvement initiatives. We recognize the importance of, and remain committed to, continuing to drive organic growth, as well as investing additional capital in opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns, driving increased penetration in the end markets we serve.
We remain disciplined in our approach to acquisitions, particularly as it relates to our assessment of valuation, prospective synergies, diligence, cultural fit and ease of integration, especially in light of the economic conditions due to the pandemic.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides an analysis of our condensed consolidated results of operations and results for each of our segments.
All acquisitions are described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Shoemaker activity has been included in our results within our Contractor Solutions segment since the December 15, 2021 acquisition date. Whitmore JV activity has been included in our Specialized Reliability Solutions segment since the April 1, 2021 formation date. Consolidation of VIE (related to the Whitmore JV) is described in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Effective April 1, 2022, the commercial and operational activities of TRUaire were fully integrated with RectorSeal, the primary operating company of the Contractor Solutions segment.

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $38.7 million, or 24.0%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was partially due to the Shoemaker acquisition ($8.6 million or 5.3%). Excluding the impact of the acquisition, organic sales increased $30.1 million, or 18.7%, from the prior year due to implemented pricing initiatives and an increase in unit volumes. Pricing initiatives, which began in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to mitigate rising costs, continued in all segments during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net revenue increased in the HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, general industrial, rail, energy and mining end markets and decreased in the plumbing end market.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $17.4 million, or 25.2%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily a result of the continued pricing initiatives, the impact of the Shoemaker acquisition and increased unit volumes. Gross profit margin of 43.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased as compared to 42.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to the purchase accounting effect ($3.9 million) related to the TRUaire acquisition incurred in prior year period that did not recur, partially offset by the timing impacts from the material and freight cost increases and the implemented pricing initiatives.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $5.4 million, or 13.5%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the added expenses related to the inclusion of Shoemaker in the current period, increased sales commissions and travel driven by increased revenue, increased salaries and compensation, including equity compensation and higher allowance for doubtful accounts. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to sales increasing by a greater percentage than the increase in operating expenses.

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $12.0 million, or 41.4%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses, as discussed above.
Other Income and Expense
Net interest expense of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $0.2 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to increased borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the Shoemaker acquisition and our share repurchase program as well as higher interest rates.
Other income (expense), net increased $0.3 million to net income of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared with net expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due to gains arising from transactions in currencies other than functional currencies.
Provision for Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rate
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we earned $39.3 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $9.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.5%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate
21
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to state income taxes, executive compensation limitations and provision for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"), partially offset by excess tax deductions related to foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII"), deductions related to stock compensation and foreign tax credits.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we earned $27.2 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $6.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.9%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to state and foreign income taxes, executive compensation limitation, and an increase in the reserves or uncertain tax positions and provision for GILTI, partially offset by excess tax deductions related to stock compensation and deductions related to FDII and foreign tax credits.
Business Segments
We conduct our operations through three business segments based on how we manage the business. We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segment's operating income. The key operating results for our three segments are discussed below.
Contractor Solutions Segment Results

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Existing cash on hand, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. Our ability to consistently generate strong cash flow from our operations is one of our most significant financial strengths; it enables us to invest in our people and our brands, make capital investments and strategic acquisitions, provide a cash dividend program, and from time-to-time, repurchase shares of our common stock. Our largest use of cash in our operations is for purchasing and carrying inventories and carrying seasonal accounts receivable. Additionally, we use our Revolving Credit Facility to support our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and strategic acquisitions. We seek to maintain adequate liquidity to meet working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures, and repay scheduled principal and interest payments on debt. Absent deterioration of market conditions, we believe that cash flows from operating and financing activities, primarily Revolving Credit Facility, will provide adequate resources to satisfy our working capital, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, anticipated dividend payments, periodic share repurchases, and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for both our short-term and long-term capital needs.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities of various sizes. The cost and terms of any financing to be raised in conjunction with any acquisition, including our ability to raise capital, is a critical consideration in any such evaluation. Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report contains a discussion of the recent acquisitions.
Financing
Credit Facilities
See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of our indebtedness. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2022.
We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge our exposure to variable interest payments related to our indebtedness. This agreement is more fully described in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, and in “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” below.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained within this Quarterly Report. Our critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements were discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report. No significant changes to these policies, as described in our Annual Report, have occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The process of preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based upon what we believe is the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Based on an assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements provide a meaningful and fair perspective of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This is not to suggest that other general risk factors, such as changes in worldwide demand, changes in material costs, performance of acquired businesses and others, could not adversely impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.
ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
We have presented the information about pronouncements not yet implemented in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements include expected restructuring charges and the results of the restructuring, financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “potential,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to, or statements that are subject to risks, contingencies or uncertainties that relate to:
•our business strategy;
•changes in local political, economic, social and labor conditions;
•potential disruptions from wars and military conflicts, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine;
•future levels of revenues, operating margins, income from operations, net income or earnings per share;
•the ability to respond to anticipated inflationary pressure, including reductions on consumer discretionary income and our ability to pass along rising costs through increased selling prices;
•anticipated levels of demand for our products and services;
•the actual impact to supply, production levels and costs from global supply chain logistics and transportation challenges;
•short and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic;
•our outstanding indebtedness, including the effect of rising interest rates;
•future levels of research and development, capital, environmental or maintenance expenditures;
•our beliefs regarding the timing and effects on our business of health and safety, tax, environmental or other legislation, rules and regulations;

•the anticipated effects of actions of third parties such as competitors, or federal, foreign, state or local regulatory authorities, or plaintiffs in litigation;
•the expected impact of accounting pronouncements; and
•other factors listed under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and other filings with the SEC.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements for a number of important factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report. You should not put undue reliance on any forwarding-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We seek to minimize the risk associated with changes in interest rates through regular operating and financing activities, and when deemed appropriate, through the use of an interest rate swap. It is our policy to enter into interest rate swaps only to the extent considered necessary to meet our risk management objectives. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Variable Rate Indebtedness
We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate indebtedness. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct effect on interest expense associated with our outstanding indebtedness. As of June 30, 2022, we had $264.0 million in outstanding variable rate indebtedness, after consideration of our interest rate swap. We manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings by means of an interest rate swap agreement. At June 30, 2022, we had an interest rate swap agreement that covered 3.5% of our $273.6 million total outstanding indebtedness. Each quarter point change in interest rates would result in a $0.7 million change in our interest expense on an annual basis.
We may also be exposed to credit risk in derivative contracts we may use. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We have sought to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We conduct a small portion of our operations outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our non-U.S. operations are conducted primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies, and include the Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar and Vietnamese dong. Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions denominated in a currency other than a non-U.S. operation’s functional currency. We recognized foreign currency transaction net gain (loss) of $0.2 million and $(0.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are included in other expense, net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. We realized a net gain (loss) associated with foreign currency translation of $(2.3) million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Based on a sensitivity analysis at June 30, 2022, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 would have impacted our net earnings by a negligible amount. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion relative to the U.S. dollar and that there are no indirect effects, such as changes in non-U.S. dollar sales volumes or prices.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The disclosure contained in Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report is incorporated by reference into this “Item 1. Legal Proceedings.” In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are from time to time named defendants in certain lawsuits incidental to our business, including product liability claims that are insured, subject to applicable deductibles, and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving us and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not currently expect the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, careful consideration should be given to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of our Annual Report, which contain descriptions of significant factors that may cause the actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.
There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report and subsequent SEC filings. The risks described in this Quarterly Report, our Annual Report and in our other SEC filings or press releases from time to time are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties are currently deemed immaterial based on management’s assessment of currently available information, which remains subject to change; however, new risks that are currently unknown to us may arise in the future that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
