HAWKINS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All adjustments made to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended June 28, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

References to fiscal 2019 refer to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, references to fiscal 2020 refer to the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020 and references to fiscal 2021 refer to the fiscal year ending March 28, 2021.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, particularly receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill, intangibles, accrued expenses, short-term and long-term lease liability, income taxes and related accounts and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Policies. The accounting policies we follow are set forth in Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020, previously filed with the SEC. There has been no significant change in our accounting policies since the end of fiscal 2020.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On March 30, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this update replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology in previous GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses on instruments within its scope, including trade receivables. This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses. Our adoption of this ASU impacted our method for calculating and estimating our allowance for doubtful accounts but did not have a material impact to our financial position or results of operations.

Note 2 - Revenue

Our revenue arrangements generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods or services. We disaggregate revenues from contracts with customers by operating segments as well as types of products sold. Reporting by operating segment is pertinent to understanding our revenues, as it aligns to how we review the financial performance of our operations. Types of products sold within each operating segment help us to further evaluate the financial performance of our segments.

The following tables disaggregate external customer net sales by major revenue stream for the three months ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019:

(1)For our Industrial and Water Treatment segments, this line includes our bulk products that we do not modify in any way, but receive, store, and ship from our facilities, or direct ship to our customers in large quantities. For our Health and Nutrition segment, this line includes our non-manufactured distributed specialty products, which may be sold out of one of our facilities or direct shipped to our customers.
(2)For our Industrial and Water Treatment segments, this line includes our non-bulk specialty products that we either manufacture, blend, repackage, resell in their original form, or direct ship to our customers in smaller quantities, and services we provide for our customers. For our Health and Nutrition segment, this line includes products manufactured, processed or repackaged in our facility and/or with our equipment.

Net sales include products and shipping charges, net of estimates for product returns and any related sales rebates. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products. All revenue is recognized when we satisfy our performance obligations under the contract. Our criteria for recording revenue is consistent between our operating segments and types of products sold. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of the promised products to the customer, with revenue recognized at the point in time the customer obtains control of the products. In arrangements where product is shipped directly from the vendor to our customer, we act as the principal in the transaction as we direct the other party to provide the product to our customer on our behalf, take inventory risk, establish the selling price, and are exposed to credit risk for the collection of the invoiced amount. If there were circumstances where we were to manufacture products for customers that were unique to their specifications and we would be prohibited by contract to use the product for any alternate use, we would recognize revenue over time if all criteria were met. We have made a policy election to treat shipping costs for FOB shipping point sales as fulfillment costs. As such, we recognize revenue for all shipping charges, if applicable, at the same time we recognize revenue on the products delivered. We estimate product returns based on historical return rates. Using probability assessments, we estimate sales rebates expected to be paid over the term of the contract. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation and are short term in nature. Sales taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from net sales. We offer certain customers cash discounts and volume rebates as sales incentives. The discounts and volume rebates are recorded as a reduction in sales at the time revenue is recognized in an amount estimated based on historical experience and contractual obligations. We periodically review the assumptions underlying our estimates of discounts and volume rebates and adjust revenues accordingly.

Note 3 – Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive impact of incremental shares assumed to be issued as performance units and restricted stock.


7


Basic and diluted EPS were calculated using the following:

Weighted-average common shares outstanding—diluted10,642,673  10,665,709  

For each of the periods presented, there were no shares excluded from the calculation of weighted-average common shares for diluted EPS.

Note 4 – Derivative Instruments

We have an interest rate swap agreement to manage the risk associated with a portion of our variable-rate long-term debt. We do not utilize derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The interest rate swap involves the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount on which the interest payments are calculated. The $20 million swap agreement will terminate on December 23, 2020. We have designated this swap as a cash flow hedge and have determined that it qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. For so long as the hedge is effective, changes in fair value of the cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (net of tax) until income or loss from the cash flows of the hedged item is realized.

For the three months ended June 28, 2020, we recorded a nominal amount in other comprehensive loss related to unrealized losses (net of tax) on the cash flow hedge described above. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $0.2 million in other comprehensive loss related to unrealized losses (net of tax) on the cash flow hedge. Included in other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $0.1 million as of June 28, 2020 and March 29, 2020. Unrealized gains and losses will be reflected in net income when the related cash flows or hedged transactions occur and offset the related performance of the hedged item.

By their nature, derivative instruments are subject to market risk. Derivative instruments are also subject to credit risk associated with counterparties to the derivative contracts. Credit risk associated with derivatives is measured based on the replacement cost should the counterparty with a contract in a gain position to us fail to perform under the terms of the contract. We do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

Our financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
 
   
Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:  Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for the asset or liability.
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity. These fair values are determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates or market participant assumptions.
 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis.  The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.
 

Our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are an interest rate swap and assets held in a deferred compensation retirement plan. As of June 28, 2020, the assets held in a deferred compensation retirement plan are classified as other long-term assets on our balance sheet, with the portion of the plan assets expected to be paid within twelve months classified as current assets and the interest rate swap is classified as other current liabilities on our balance sheet. The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined by the respective counterparties based on interest rate changes. Interest rate swaps are valued based on observable interest rate yield curves for similar instruments. The deferred compensation plan
8


assets relate to contributions made to a non-qualified compensation plan on behalf of certain employees who are classified as “highly compensated employees” as determined by IRS guidelines. The assets are part of a rabbi trust and the funds are held in mutual funds. The fair value of the deferred compensation is based on the quoted market prices for the mutual funds at the end of the period.

 
The following tables summarize the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2020 and March 29, 2020.

Note 6– Assets Held for Sale

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, management determined that an office building that was previously held for sale no longer met the criteria to be classified as such. As a result, the $0.9 million net book value was reclassified out of “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and is now classified as held and used within Property, Plant and Equipment on our balance sheet.

Note 7 – Inventories

Inventories at June 28, 2020 and March 29, 2020 consisted of the following:

Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The carrying amount of goodwill was $58.4 million as of June 28, 2020 and March 29, 2020, of which $44.9 million was related to our Health and Nutrition segment, $7.0 million was related to our Water Treatment segment, and $6.5 million was related to our Industrial segment.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. The tax years prior to our fiscal year ended April 3, 2016 are closed to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and with few exceptions, state and local
income tax jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2020 was 26.5% and was 26.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The effective tax rate is impacted by projected levels of annual taxable income, permanent items, and state taxes.

Note 11 – Leases

Lease Obligations. As of June 28, 2020, we were obligated under operating lease agreements for certain manufacturing facilities, warehouse space, the land on which some of our facilities sit, vehicles and information technology equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 24 years, some of which include options to extend the lease for up to 10 years.

As of June 28, 2020, our operating lease components with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year were classified on the condensed consolidated balance sheet within right of use assets, short-term lease liability and long-term lease liability.

Expense for leases less than 12 months for the three months ended June 28, 2020 was not material. Total lease expense was $0.7 million for the three months ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

Note 12 – Share-Based Compensation

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a performance-based equity compensation arrangement for our executive officers during the first quarters of each of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020. These performance-based arrangements provide for the grant of performance-based restricted stock units that represent a possible future issuance of restricted shares of our common stock based on a pre-tax income target for the applicable fiscal year. The actual number of restricted shares to be issued to each executive officer is determined when our final financial information becomes available after the applicable fiscal year and will be between zero shares and 62,385 shares in the aggregate for fiscal 2021. The restricted shares issued, if any, will fully vest approximately two years after the last day of the fiscal year on which the performance is based. We are recording the compensation expense for the outstanding performance share units and the converted restricted stock over the life of the awards.

The following table represents the restricted stock activity for the three months ended June 28, 2020:
SharesWeighted-

Granted64,813  37.37  
Vested(5,263) 31.35  
Unvested at end of period134,065  $35.88  

We recorded compensation expense related to performance share units and restricted stock of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 28, 2020 and $0.3 million the three months ended June 30, 2019. Substantially all of the compensation expense was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Restricted Stock Awards. As part of their retainers, each director who is not an executive officer receives an annual grant of restricted stock for their service on our Board. The restricted stock awards are expensed over the requisite vesting period, which is one year from the date of issuance, based on the market value on the date of grant. As of June 28, 2020, there were 8,008 shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $43.67 outstanding under this program. Compensation expense for both the three months ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 related to restricted stock awards to the Board was $0.1 million.

Note 13 – Share Repurchase Program

Our Board has authorized the repurchase of up to 800,000 shares of our outstanding common stock for cash on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions subject to applicable securities laws and regulations. Upon purchase of the shares, we reduce our common stock for the par value of the shares with the excess applied against additional paid-in capital. During the three months ended June 28, 2020, no shares were repurchased. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 47,136 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $1.8 million. As of June 28, 2020, 358,797 shares remained available to be repurchased under the share repurchase program.

Note 14 – Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation. There are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or of which any of our property is the subject. Legal fees associated with such matters are expensed as incurred.

Environmental Remediation. During fiscal 2018, we recorded a liability of $0.6 million related to estimated remediation expenses associated with existing trichloroethylene contamination at our Minneapolis facility. The liability was decreased to $0.1 million as of June 28, 2020 and March 29, 2020, to reflect payments made and management’s revised expectations related to the cost of this environmental remediation. The liability is not discounted as management expects to incur these expenses within the next twelve months. Given the many uncertainties involved in assessing environmental claims, our reserves may prove to be insufficient. While it is possible that additional expenses related to remediation will be incurred in future periods if currently unknown issues arise, we are unable to estimate the extent of any further financial impact.

Note 15 – Segment Information

We have three reportable segments: Industrial, Water Treatment, and Health and Nutrition. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020.
11



We evaluate performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses. Reportable segments are defined primarily by product and type of customer. Segments are responsible for the sales, marketing and development of their products and services. Other than our Health and Nutrition segment, the segments do not have separate accounting, administration, customer service or purchasing functions. We allocate certain corporate expenses to our operating segments. There are no intersegment sales and no operating segments have been aggregated. No single customer’s revenues amounted to 10% or more of our total revenue. Sales are primarily within the United States and all assets are located within the United States.

Note 16 – Subsequent Events

On July 28, 2020, we acquired substantially all the assets of American Development Corporation of Tennessee, Inc. (“ADC”) for $25 million under the terms of an asset purchase agreement among us, ADC and the ADC shareholders. ADC is a water treatment chemical distribution company focused largely in Tennessee, Georgia and Kentucky. The results of operations and the assets, including the goodwill associated with this acquisition, will be included as part of our Water Treatment segment from the date of acquisition forward. The purchase accounting for this acquisition has not yet been completed.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended June 28, 2020 as compared to the similar period ended June 30, 2019. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020.
Overview
We derive substantially all of our revenues from the sale of chemicals and specialty ingredients to our customers in a wide variety of industries. We began our operations primarily as a distributor of bulk chemicals with a strong customer focus. Over the years, we have maintained the strong customer focus and have expanded our business by increasing our sales of value-added chemicals and specialty ingredients, including manufacturing, blending, and repackaging certain products.

Statement on COVID-19

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has resulted in federal, state and local governments around the world implementing stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions or bans, business curtailments, school closures, and other protective measures. While some areas of the country have begun to open up and ease these restrictions, many still have these restrictions in place or are implementing or contemplating new restrictions. Restrictions will likely remain in place for some time. Financial markets have been volatile in 2020, primarily due to uncertainty with respect to the severity and duration of the pandemic.

All of our manufacturing facilities qualify as essential operations (or the equivalent) under applicable federal and state orders. As a result, all of our manufacturing sites and facilities have continued to operate and are doing so safely, with no significant impact to output levels. We are enforcing social distancing and enhanced health, safety and sanitization measures in accordance with guidelines from the Center for Disease Control. We have also implemented necessary procedures and support to enable a significant portion of our office personnel to work remotely.

During this public health crisis, we remain focused on the health and safety of our employees, customers and suppliers and maintaining safe and reliable operations of our manufacturing sites. As our operations and products are essential to critical national infrastructure, it is imperative that we continue to supply materials including the products needed to maintain safe drinking water, ingredients essential for large-scale food, pharmaceutical and other health product manufacturing and nutrition products needed to support our critical infrastructure. Our manufacturing sites have continued to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic, with no significant impact to manufacturing.

We ended the first quarter of fiscal 2021 with a leverage ratio below 1.0x, net debt of $61.5 million and significant amounts available for borrowing under our Revolving Loan Facility.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created tremendous uncertainty in the economy. The financial impact to our company has been mixed, as sales to certain end-markets such as food, bottled bleach and health and nutrition have benefited our reporting segments, while decreased sales to other end-markets such as ethanol, pools and resorts have negatively impacted them. As uncertainty continues with this pandemic, we expect mixed results to continue for the foreseeable future. We will continue to be cautious in our capital expenditures and investments, and delay investments where deemed appropriate, while still investing for the future by opening new Water Treatment branches and making capital investments to drive higher margin business. With our current debt levels and available borrowings, we believe we are well-positioned to weather a continued economic downturn.

Financial Results

We focus on total profitability dollars when evaluating our financial results as opposed to profitability as a percentage of sales, as sales dollars tend to fluctuate, particularly in our Industrial and Water Treatment segments, as raw material costs rise and fall. The costs for certain of our raw materials can rise or fall rapidly, causing fluctuations in gross profit as a percentage of sales.

We use the LIFO method for valuing the majority of our inventory in our Industrial and Water Treatment segments, which causes the most recent product costs for those products to be recognized in our income statement. The valuation of LIFO inventory for interim periods is based on our estimates of fiscal year-end inventory levels and costs. The LIFO inventory valuation method and the resulting cost of sales are consistent with our business practices of pricing to current chemical raw material prices. Inventories in the Health and Nutrition segment are valued using the FIFO method.

13


We disclose the sales of our bulk commodity products as a percentage of total sales dollars for our Industrial and Water Treatment segments. Our definition of bulk commodity products includes products that we do not modify in any way, but receive, store, and ship from our facilities, or direct ship to our customers in large quantities.

Three Months Ended June 28, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Sales
Sales were $143.2 million for the current quarter, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 2.8%, from sales of $147.3 million for the same period a year ago.
Industrial Segment. Industrial segment sales decreased $3.8 million, or 5.1%, to $71.5 million for the current quarter, as compared to $75.3 million for the same period of the prior year. Sales of bulk commodity products in the Industrial segment were approximately 12% of sales dollars in the current quarter and 20% in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in sales dollars from the prior year was driven primarily by a temporary increase in sales in the first quarter last year attributable to heavy rains and flooding along the Mississippi River, which increased demand from certain customers in that quarter. Sales also decreased in the current quarter as a result of weak economic conditions in the ethanol industry, which decreased sales of products into that industry. The decrease was somewhat offset by increased sales of certain of our manufactured, blended and re-packaged products, largely our bottled bleach products as a result of increased demand due to COVID-19, as well as increased sales of certain pharmaceutical, food ingredients and agricultural products.
Water Treatment Segment. Water Treatment segment sales decreased $3.6 million, or 8.2%, to $39.7 million for the current quarter, as compared to $43.3 million for the same period of the prior year. Sales of bulk commodity products in the Water Treatment segment were approximately 10% of sales dollars for the current quarter and 11% a year ago. The decrease in sales dollars was driven by decreased volumes sold in the current quarter due, in part, to customers filling up their tanks in March as a result of supply concerns resulting from COVID-19, which decreased their needs in the current quarter, as well as reduced sales to certain end-markets as a result of COVID-19.
Health & Nutrition Segment. Sales for our Health and Nutrition segment increased $3.2 million, or 11.1%, to $32.0 million for the current quarter, as compared to $28.8 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in sales was driven by increased sales of both our manufactured and specialty distributed products, partially as a result of increased demand resulting from COVID-19.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $2.2 million to $31.0 million, or 21.6% of sales, for the current quarter, from $28.8 million, or 19.5% of sales, for the same period of the prior year. During the current and prior year quarters, the LIFO reserve had a nominal impact on gross profit.
Industrial Segment. Gross profit for the Industrial segment increased $1.6 million to $12.5 million, or 17.4% of sales, for the current quarter, from $10.9 million, or 14.5% of sales, for the same period of the prior year. During the current and prior year
14


quarters, the LIFO reserve had a nominal impact on gross profit. Industrial segment gross profit increased due to a favorable product mix shift to more sales of our manufactured, blended and re-packaged products.
Water Treatment Segment. Gross profit for the Water Treatment segment decreased $0.8 million to $11.3 million, or 28.6% of sales, for the current quarter, from $12.1 million, or 28.0% of sales, for the same period of the prior year. During the current and prior year quarters, the LIFO reserve had a nominal impact on gross profit. Gross profit decreased as a result of decreased sales.
Health and Nutrition Segment. Gross profit for our Health and Nutrition segment increased $1.4 million to $7.2 million, or 22.5% of sales, for the current quarter, from $5.8 million, or 20.1% of sales, for the same period of the prior year. The increase in gross profit was a result of higher sales compared to the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $0.2 million to $15.0 million, or 10.5% of sales, for the current quarter, compared to $14.8 million, or 10.1% of sales, for the same period of the prior year. The increase includes a year-over-year increase in compensation expense of $0.4 million related to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which is offset by other income.
Operating Income
Operating income increased $1.9 million to $15.9 million, or 11.1% of sales, for the current quarter, from $14.0 million, or 9.4% of sales, for the same period of the prior year due to the combined impact of the factors discussed above.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense decreased $0.4 million to $0.4 million for the current quarter, from $0.8 million for the same period of the prior year. Interest expense decreased due to lower outstanding borrowings and lower borrowing rates compared to the prior year.
Other Income
Other income increased $0.4 million to $0.5 million recorded for the current quarter, compared to $0.1 million in the same period of the prior year. This represents gains recorded on investments held for our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The amount recorded as a gain was offset by the same amount recorded as an increase to compensation expense within SG&A expenses.
Income Tax Provision

Our effective income tax rate was 26.5% for the current quarter, compared to 26.3% in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate is impacted by projected levels of annual taxable income, permanent items, and state taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash was $4.5 million at June 28, 2020, an increase of $0.2 million as compared with the $4.3 million available as of March 29, 2020.
Cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 28, 2020, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $10.1 million for the same period of the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an increase in inventory and decreased payables, partially offset by an increase in customer receivables and improvement in net income for the first three months of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period a year ago. Due to the nature of our operations, which includes purchases of large quantities of bulk chemicals, timing of purchases can result in significant changes in working capital investment and the resulting operating cash flow. Due to flooding in the first quarter of the prior year, we were not able to receive any barges of bulk chemicals into inventory and as a result our inventory levels were unusually low at that time. Typically, our cash requirements increase during the period from April through November as caustic soda inventory levels increase because we receive the majority of barges during this period.
Cash used in investing activities was $4.8 million for the three months ended June 28, 2020, compared to $9.1 million for the same period of the prior year. Capital expenditures were $4.8 million for the three months ended June 28, 2020, compared to $9.2 million in the same period of the prior year. In the first three months of the prior year, we purchased our previously leased corporate headquarters facility for $6.4 million, which was partially offset by increased investments in facility improvements and new and replacement equipment during the first three months of the current year.

15


Cash provided by financing activities was $3.5 million for the three months ended June 28, 2020, compared to $4.6 million of cash used in financing activities in the same period of the prior year. Included in financing activities in the first three months of the current year were net debt proceeds of $6.0 million, compared to no borrowings in the first three months of the prior year, as our working capital needs were lower at that time because we did not receive any barges of bulk chemicals into inventory in that quarter. In addition, we repurchased no shares of our common stock in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, compared to $1.8 million in the same quarter in the prior year.

We expect our cash balances and funds available under our credit facility, discussed below, along with cash flows generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund the cash requirements of our ongoing operations for the foreseeable future.

Our Board has authorized the repurchase of up to 800,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. The shares may be purchased on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions subject to applicable securities laws and regulations. The primary objective of the share repurchase program is to offset the impact of dilution from issuances relating to employee and director equity grants and our employee stock purchase program. During the first three months of fiscal 2021, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock. In the first three months of the prior fiscal year, we repurchased 47,136 shares of common stock with an aggregate purchase price of $1.8 million. As of June 28, 2020, 358,797 shares remained available for purchase under the program

We are party to an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner, and other lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), whereby U.S. Bank is also serving as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement provides us with senior secured revolving credit facilities (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) totaling $150.0 million. The Revolving Loan Facility includes a $5.0 million letter of credit subfacility and $15.0 million swingline subfacility. The Revolving Loan Facility has a five-year maturity date, maturing on November 30, 2023. The Revolving Loan Facility is secured by substantially all of our personal property assets and those of our subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to one of the following, plus, in both cases, an applicable margin based upon our leverage ratio: (a) LIBOR for an interest period of one, two, three or six months as selected by us, reset at the end of the selected interest period, or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) U. S. Bank’s prime rate, (2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, or (3) one-month LIBOR for U.S. dollars plus 1.0%. The LIBOR margin is between 0.85% - 1.35%, depending on our leverage ratio. The base rate margin is between 0.00% - 0.35%, depending on our leverage ratio. In the event that the ICE Benchmark Administration (or any person that takes over administration of such rate) determines that LIBOR is no longer available, including as a result of the intended phase out of LIBOR by the end of 2021, our Revolving Loan Facility provides for an alternative rate of interest to be jointly determined by us and U.S. Bank, as administrative agent, that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States. Once such successor rate has been approved by us and U.S. Bank, the Revolving Credit Loan Facility would be amended to use such successor rate without any further action or consent of any other lender, so long as the administrative agent does not receive any objection from any other lender. At June 28, 2020, the effective interest rate on our borrowing was 1.5%.

In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Revolving Loan Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments thereunder. The commitment fee is between 0.15% - 0.25%, depending on our leverage ratio.

Debt issuance costs paid to the Lenders are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement. As of June 28, 2020, the unamortized balance of these costs was $0.3 million, and is reflected as a reduction of debt on our balance sheet.

The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain (a) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15 to 1.00 and (b) a maximum total cash flow leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, dispose of significant assets, make certain investments, including any acquisitions other than permitted acquisitions, make certain payments, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, grant liens on our assets or rate management transactions, subject to certain limitations. We are permitted to make distributions, pay dividends and repurchase shares so long as no default or event of default exists or would exist as a result thereof. We were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement as of June 28, 2020.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including failure to comply with covenants in the Credit Agreement and other loan documents, cross default to other material indebtedness, failure by us to pay or discharge material judgments, bankruptcy, and change of control. The occurrence of an event of default would permit the Lenders to terminate their commitments and accelerate loans under the Revolving Loan Facility.
16


As part of our growth strategy, we have acquired businesses and may pursue acquisitions or other strategic relationships in the future that we believe will complement or expand our existing businesses or increase our customer base. We believe we could borrow additional funds under our current or new credit facilities or sell equity for strategic reasons or to further strengthen our financial position.

Critical Accounting Estimates
There were no material changes in our critical accounting estimates since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020.
Forward-Looking Statements
The information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements have been made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections, and our beliefs and assumptions. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,”, “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to the risk inherent in the cyclical nature of commodity chemical prices. However, we do not currently purchase forward contracts or otherwise engage in hedging activities with respect to the purchase of commodity chemicals. We attempt to pass changes in the cost of our materials to our customers. However, there are no assurances that we will be able to pass on the increases in the future.

We are exposed to market risks related to interest rates. Our exposure to changes in interest rates is limited to borrowings under our Revolving Loan Facility. A 25-basis point change in interest rates would potentially increase or decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $0.1 million. We have in place an interest rate swap that converts a portion of our variable-rate debt into a fixed-rate obligation. The swap agreement began September 1, 2017 and will end on December 23, 2020. The notional amount of the swap agreement is currently $20 million through its end date. We have designated this swap as a cash flow hedge and have determined that it qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. Changes in fair value of the cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive loss (net of tax) until income or loss from the cash flows of the hedged item is realized.

Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency risk, do not arise in the normal course of our business activities.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 28, 2020. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
