NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Kimball International, Inc. (the “Company,” “Kimball,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Note 2. Spin-Off Transaction

On October 31, 2014 (“Distribution Date”), we completed the spin-off of our Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) segment by distributing the related shares of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (“Kimball Electronics”), on a pro rata basis, to the Company's Share Owners of record as of October 22, 2014. After the Distribution Date, the Company does not beneficially own any Kimball Electronics shares and Kimball Electronics is an independent publicly traded company. Kimball International, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KBAL” and Kimball Electronics, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KE”.

The EMS segment was reclassified to discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Financial results of the discontinued operations were as follows:

Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Supplemental Information

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance does not impact inventory measured on a last-in, last-out (“LIFO”) basis. The standards update is effective prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2018 financial statements with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability and further clarification guidance allows the cost of securing a revolving line of credit to be recorded as a deferred asset regardless of whether a balance is outstanding. This guidance is effective for our first

quarter fiscal year 2017 financial statements. We currently comply with this method thus we do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance on customer’s accounting for cloud computing fees and provided criteria for customers in a cloud computing arrangement to use to determine whether the arrangement includes a license of software. The guidance clarifies that a software license included in a cloud computing arrangement should be accounted for consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses, whereas a cloud computing arrangement that does not include a software license should be accounted for as a service contract. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2017 financial statements, and allows for the use of either a prospective or retrospective transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB provided explicit guidance on how to account for share-based payments granted to employees in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The guidance will be applied prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2017 financial statements. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance addresses several areas including transfer of control, contracts with multiple performance obligations, and costs to obtain and fulfill contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date for this new revenue standard by one year, which will make the guidance effective for our first quarter fiscal year 2019 financial statements using either of two acceptable adoption methods: (i) retrospective adoption to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients; or (ii) adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. Under the new guidance, a disposal that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results is a discontinued operation. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures that will provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations, and also requires disclosures of significant disposals that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance was effective prospectively for disposals or components of our business classified as held for sale beginning in our first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable:

Notes receivable and trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. We determine on a case-by-case basis the cessation of accruing interest, the resumption of accruing interest, the method of recording payments received on nonaccrual receivables, and the delinquency status for our limited number of notes receivable.

Our policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable and notes receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to determine the final allowance for credit losses on the trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. Trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Our limited amount of notes receivable allows management to monitor the risks, credit quality indicators, collectability, and probability of impairment on an individual basis. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in selling and administrative expenses. Customary terms require payment within 30 days, with terms beyond 30 days being considered extended.

Income Taxes:

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and available tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Unusual or infrequently occurring items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

Our 38.2% effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 did not include any material unusual items. The first quarter fiscal year 2015 effective tax rate of 55.1% was unfavorably impacted by nondeductible spin-off expenses.

Non-operating Income (Expense), net:

The non-operating income (expense), net line item includes the impact of such items as fair value adjustments on Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) investments, foreign currency rate movements, non-production rent income, bank charges, and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. The gain (loss) on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in selling and administrative expenses.

Components of the Non-operating income (expense), net line, from continuing operations were:

(Amounts in Thousands)	2015			2014
Foreign Currency Loss	$	(23	)	$	(25	)

Other Expense	(91		)	(122		)
Non-operating income (expense), net	$	(689	)	$	(333	)

Note 4. Inventories

Inventory components were as follows:



(Amounts in Thousands)	September 30, 2015			June 30, 2015
Finished products	$	32,373		$	26,634
Work-in-process	2,309			1,952

LIFO reserve	(13,675		)	(14,153		)
Total inventory	$	46,094		$	37,634

For interim reporting, LIFO inventories are computed based on quantities as of the end of the quarter and interim changes in price levels. Changes in quantities and price levels are reflected in the interim financial statements in the period in which they occur, except in cases where LIFO inventory liquidations are expected to be reinstated by fiscal year end. The earnings impact of LIFO inventory liquidations during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was immaterial.

Note 5. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, the changes in the balances of each component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax, were as follows:

Note 6. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Standby letters of credit are issued to third-party suppliers, lessors, and insurance institutions and can only be drawn upon in the event of Kimball's failure to pay its obligations to a beneficiary. As of September 30, 2015, we had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $1.0 million. We are not aware of circumstances that would require us to perform under any of these arrangements and believe that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has

been recorded as of September 30, 2015 with respect to the standby letters of credit. Kimball also enters into commercial letters of credit to facilitate payments to vendors and from customers.

We estimate product warranty liability at the time of sale based on historical repair or replacement cost trends in conjunction with the length of the warranty offered. Management refines the warranty liability in cases where specific warranty issues become known.

Changes in the product warranty accrual for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	September 30
(Amounts in Thousands)	2015			2014
Product Warranty Liability at the beginning of the period	$	2,264		$	3,221
Additions to warranty accrual (including changes in estimates)	394			91
Settlements made (in cash or in kind)	(305		)	(568		)
Product Warranty Liability at the end of the period	$	2,353		$	2,744

Note 7. Restructuring Expense

We recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, and recognized no restructuring expense in the three months ended September 30, 2014. We utilize available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of impaired fixed assets. Restructuring charges are included in the Restructuring Expense line item on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Capacity Utilization Restructuring Plan:

In November 2014, we announced a capacity utilization restructuring plan which includes the consolidation of our metal fabrication production from an operation located in Post Falls, Idaho, into existing production facilities in Indiana, and the reduction of our Company plane fleet from two jets to one.

Key factors in the decision to consolidate the Idaho operation into the Indiana facilities include the improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and transportation costs. The transfer of work involves the start-up of metal fabrication capabilities in a Company-owned facility, along with the transfer of certain assembly operations into two additional company-owned facilities, all located in southern Indiana. The manufacturing capacity realignment will be carefully managed to mitigate customer disruptions. The consolidation activities began immediately after the announcement in November 2014, and we are actively marketing for sale the Post Falls, Idaho facility. We expect to incur approximately $2 million for future capital investments to support the transfer of production to Indiana. No changes in operating income are anticipated until the later quarters of the transfer of work. We anticipate pre-tax savings of approximately $5 million per year after the plan is fully implemented by June 2016, which is three months earlier than the original plan.

The reduction of our plane fleet from two jets to one reduced our cost structure while aligning the plane fleet size with our needs following the spin-off of Kimball Electronics on October 31, 2014. Previously, one of our jets was used primarily for the successful strategy of transporting customers to visit our showrooms, offices, research and development center, and manufacturing locations, while the remaining jet was used primarily for management travel. The plane used primarily for management travel was sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. The sale of the plane resulted in a $0.2 million pre-tax gain in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 which partially offset the impairment charge of $1.1 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015. As a result of the aircraft fleet reduction, we began realizing the annual pre-tax savings of $0.8 million. In regards to the remaining jet, we believe that our location in rural Jasper, Indiana and the location of our manufacturing locations in small towns away from major metropolitan areas necessitates the need for the remaining jet to efficiently transport customers.

We currently estimate that the pre-tax restructuring charges will be approximately $10.0 million with $6.5 million recorded since the plan was announced with the remainder expected to be incurred over the remaining anticipated transition period. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $5.2 million of transition, training, and other employee costs, $3.8 million of plant closure and other exit costs, and $1.0 million of non-cash asset impairment. Approximately 90% of the total cost estimate is expected to be cash expense.

(1)	The accrued restructuring balance at September 30, 2015 is recorded in current liabilities.

Note 8. Fair Value

Kimball categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:


•	Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.


•	Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

Our policy is to recognize transfers between these levels as of the end of each quarterly reporting period. There were no transfers between these levels during the three months ended September 30, 2015. There were also no changes in the inputs or valuation techniques used to measure fair values compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value:

The following methods and assumptions were used to measure fair value:



Financial Instrument	Level	Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
Cash Equivalents	1	Market - Quoted market prices
Trading securities: Mutual funds held in nonqualified SERP	1	Market - Quoted market prices

Recurring Fair Value Measurements:

As of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the fair values of Level 1 financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the market approach were as follows:



(Amounts in Thousands)	September 30, 2015		June 30, 2015
Cash equivalents	$	16,420	$	23,414
Trading Securities: Mutual funds in nonqualified SERP	9,786		10,353
Total assets at fair value	$	26,206	$	33,767

We had no purchases or sales of Level 3 assets during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

The nonqualified supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) assets consist primarily of equity funds, balanced funds, target date funds, a bond fund, and a money market fund. The SERP investment assets are offset by a SERP liability which represents Kimball's obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. See Note 10 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.

Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value:

Financial instruments that are not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that have carrying amounts which approximate fair value include the following:



Financial Instrument	Level	Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
Notes receivable	2	Market - Price approximated based on the assumed collection of receivables in the normal course of business, taking into account the customer's non-performance risk
Long-term debt (carried at amortized cost)	3	Income - Price estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on quoted long-term debt market rates, taking into account Kimball's non-performance risk

The carrying value of our cash deposit accounts, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and dividends payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity and immaterial non-performance risk.

Note 9. Derivative Instruments

Foreign Exchange Contracts:

Our former EMS segment, classified as discontinued operations, operated internationally and was therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of business. The primary means of managing this exposure was to utilize natural hedges, such as aligning currencies used in the supply chain with the sale currency. To the extent natural hedging techniques did not fully offset currency risk, derivative instruments were used with the objective of reducing the residual exposure to certain foreign currency rate movements. Factors considered in the decision to hedge an underlying market exposure included the materiality of the risk, the volatility of the market, the duration of the hedge, the degree to which the underlying exposure was committed to, and the availability, effectiveness, and cost of derivative instruments. Derivative instruments were only utilized for risk management purposes and were not used for speculative or trading purposes.

Forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were used to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Foreign exchange contracts were also used to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks related to intercompany balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies. In limited cases due to unexpected changes in forecasted transactions, cash flow hedges may have ceased to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedges. Depending on the type of exposure hedged, either a derivative contract in the opposite position of the undesignated hedge may have been purchased or the hedge may have been retained until it matured if the hedge had continued to provide an adequate offset in earnings against the currency revaluation impact of foreign currency denominated liabilities.

When derivatives were settled with the counterparty, the derivative asset or liability was relieved and cash flow was impacted for the net settlement. For derivative instruments that met the criteria of hedging instruments under FASB guidance, the effective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument were initially recorded net of related tax effect in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, a component of Share Owners' Equity, and were subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction was recognized in earnings. The gain or loss associated with derivative instruments that were not designated as hedging instruments or that ceased to meet the criteria for hedging under FASB guidance was recognized in earnings.

After the spin-off of the EMS segment on October 31, 2014, we held no derivative instruments. See the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the changes in deferred derivative gains and losses. Information on the location and amounts of derivative gains and losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are presented below.

Note 10. Investments

Kimball maintains a self-directed supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) in which executive employees are eligible to participate. The SERP utilizes a rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy. Kimball recognizes SERP investment assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets representing an obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. The SERP investment assets are classified as trading, and accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income in the Other Income (Expense) category. Adjustments made to revalue the SERP liability are also recognized in income as selling and administrative expenses and offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets. Net unrealized holding losses from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were, in thousands, $598 and $220, respectively.

SERP asset and liability balances were as follows:



(Amounts in Thousands)	September 30, 2015		June 30, 2015
SERP investments - current asset	$	970	$	1,276
SERP investments - other long-term asset	8,816		9,077
Total SERP investments	$	9,786	$	10,353

SERP obligation - current liability	$	970	$	1,276
SERP obligation - other long-term liability	8,816		9,077
Total SERP obligation	$	9,786	$	10,353

Note 11. Postemployment Benefits

Kimball's domestic employees participate in severance plans. These plans cover domestic employees and provide severance benefits to eligible employees meeting the plans' qualifications, primarily involuntary termination without cause. In connection with the spin-off, the Company has transferred the post-employment obligation for EMS employees to Kimball Electronics.

The components of net periodic postemployment benefit cost applicable to our severance plans were as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	September 30
(Amounts in Thousands)	2015			2014
Service cost	$	120		$	231
Interest cost	19			30
Amortization of prior service costs	—			71
Amortization of actuarial (income) loss	(114		)	20
Net periodic benefit cost — Total cost	$	25		$	352
Less: Discontinued operations	—			70
Net periodic benefit cost — Continuing operations	$	25		$	282

The benefit cost in the above table includes only normal recurring levels of severance activity, as estimated using an actuarial method. Unusual or non-recurring severance actions are not estimable using actuarial methods and are expensed in accordance with the applicable U.S. GAAP.

Note 12. Stock Compensation Plan

During fiscal year 2016, the following stock compensation was awarded to officers and key employees. All awards were granted under the Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. For more information on stock compensation awards, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.



Type of Award	Quarter Awarded	Shares or Units	Grant Date Fair Value ⁽⁵⁾
Annual Performance Shares⁽¹⁾	1st Quarter	111,695		$12.12
Relative Total Shareholder Return Awards ⁽²⁾	1st Quarter	36,093		$15.10
Restricted Share Units ⁽³⁾	1st Quarter	93,232	$11.58 - $12.32
Unrestricted Shares ⁽⁴⁾	1st Quarter	5,304		$11.31

(1) Annual performance shares were awarded to officers and other key employees. The number of annual performance shares to be issued will be dependent upon operating income performance, with a percentage payout up to a maximum of 200% of the target number set forth above. Annual performance shares vest after one year.

(2) Performance units were awarded to key officers under the Company's Relative Total Shareholder Return program. Vesting occurs at June 30, 2018. Participants will earn from 0% to 200% of the target award depending upon how the compound annual growth rate of Kimball International common stock ranks within the peer group at the end of the performance period.

(3) Restricted share units were awarded to officers and key employees. Vesting occurs at June 30, 2016, June 30, 2017, and June 30, 2018. Upon vesting, the outstanding number of restricted share units and the value of dividends accumulated over the vesting period are converted to shares of common stock.

(4) Unrestricted shares were awarded to key employees as consideration for service to the Company. Unrestricted shares do not have vesting periods, holding periods, restrictions on sale, or other restrictions.

(5) The grant date fair value of annual performance shares is based on the stock price at the date of the award, reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on outstanding annual performance share awards. The grant date fair value of the Relative Total Shareholder Return awards was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. This valuation technique includes estimating the movement of stock prices and the effects of volatility, interest rates, and dividends. The grant date fair value of the restricted share units was based on the stock price at the date of the award. The grant date fair value of the unrestricted shares was based on the average high/low stock price at the date of the award.

Note 13. Variable Interest Entities

Kimball's involvement with a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is limited to a situation in which we are not the primary beneficiary as we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. Thus, consolidation is not required.

Our involvement with the VIE is limited to a note receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility. The carrying value of the note receivable, net of a $0.5 million allowance, was $0.9 million as of both September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015. For both periods, the short-term portion of the carrying value was included on the Receivables line and the long-term portion of the carrying value was included on the Other Assets line of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have no obligation to provide additional funding to the VIE, and thus our exposure and risk of loss related to the VIE is limited to the carrying value of the notes receivable. Kimball did not provide additional financial support to the VIE during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Note 14. Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses of Notes Receivable

Kimball monitors credit quality and associated risks of notes receivable on an individual basis based on criteria such as financial stability of the party and collection experience in conjunction with general economic and market conditions. We hold collateral for the note receivable from the sale of an Indiana facility thereby mitigating the risk of loss. As of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, Kimball had no material past due outstanding notes receivable.



	As of September 30, 2015						As of June 30, 2015
(Amounts in Thousands)	Unpaid Balance		Related Allowance		Receivable Net of Allowance		Unpaid Balance		Related Allowance		Receivable Net of Allowance

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

Kimball International, Inc. (the “Company,” “Kimball,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a leading manufacturer of design driven, technology savvy, high quality furnishings sold under the Company’s family of brands: National, Kimball Office, and Kimball Hospitality. Our diverse portfolio provides solutions for the workplace, learning, healing, and hospitality environments. Customers can access our products globally through a variety of distribution channels. Recognized with a reputation for excellence as a trustworthy company and recognized with the Great Place to Work^® designation, Kimball International is committed to a high performance culture with a foundation of sound ethics, continuous improvement, and social responsibility.

Key economic indicators currently point toward continued moderate economic growth. However, the strength of the U.S. dollar, and signs of weakness in China's economy as well as other uncertainties may pose a threat to our future growth as they have the tendency to cause disruption in business strategy, execution, and timing in many of the markets in which we compete.

In relation to the office furniture industry, the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer Association (“BIFMA”) forecast (by IHS as of August 2015) projects a year-over-year increase of 7% for both calendar years 2015 and 2016. The forecast for two of the leading indicators for the hospitality furniture market (August 2015 STR forecast and May 2015 PwC Hospitality Directions report) include an increase in occupancy rates of 2% and an increase in RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) of 7% for calendar year 2015. For calendar year 2016 occupancy is forecast to increase less than 1%, and RevPAR is forecast to increase 6%.

We invest in capital expenditures prudently for projects in support of both organic growth and potential acquisitions that would enhance our capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability. We have a strong focus on cost control and closely monitor market changes and our liquidity in order to proactively adjust our operating

costs, discretionary capital spending, and dividend levels as needed. Managing working capital in conjunction with fluctuating demand levels is likewise key. In addition, a long-standing component of our profit sharing incentive bonus plan is that it is linked to our worldwide and business unit performance which is designed to adjust compensation expense as profits change.

We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet. Our short-term liquidity available, represented as cash and cash equivalents plus the unused amount of our credit facility, was $51.4 million at September 30, 2015.

In addition to the above discussion, management currently considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding our financial condition and operating performance:

•

Successful execution of the Company's restructuring plan is critical to the Company's future performance. The success of the restructuring initiatives is dependent on accomplishing the plan in a timely and effective manner. A critical component of the restructuring initiatives is the transfer of production among facilities which will result in some manufacturing inefficiencies and excess working capital during the transition period. The Company's restructuring plan is discussed below.


•	We continue to focus on mitigating the impact of raw material commodity pricing pressures.


•	Due to the contract and project nature of the furniture markets, fluctuation in the demand for our products and variation in the gross margin on those projects is inherent to our business. Effective management of our manufacturing capacity is and will continue to be critical to our success. See below for further details regarding current sales and open order trends.


•	While both the hospitality and office furniture markets are expanding, we continue to see volatility in order rates which in turn can impact our operating results.


•	Globalization continues to reshape not only the markets in which we operate but also our key customers and competitors. In addition, demand is increasing for hospitality furniture manufactured in the U.S., and we are shifting focus of underutilized manufacturing capacity to fill this need.


•	Employees throughout our business operations are an integral part of our ability to compete successfully, and the stability of the management team is critical to long-term Share Owner value. Our career development and succession planning processes help to maintain stability in management.

Spin-Off of Kimball Electronics reported as Discontinued Operations

On October 31, 2014 (“Distribution Date”), we completed the previously announced spin-off of our Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) segment by distributing the related shares of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (“Kimball Electronics”), on a pro rata basis, to the Company's Share Owners of record as of October 22, 2014. After the Distribution Date, the Company does not beneficially own any Kimball Electronics shares and Kimball Electronics is an independent publicly traded company. Kimball International, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KBAL” and Kimball Electronics, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KE”.

The EMS business was reclassified to discontinued operations. Financial results of the discontinued operations were as follows:



	Three Months Ended
	September 30
(Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)	2015		2014
Net Sales of Discontinued Operations	$	—	$	203,803
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax	$	—	$	6,479
Income From Discontinued Operations per Diluted Share	$	0.00	$	0.17

As a result of the October 30, 2014 stock unification, all distinctions between Class A common stock and Class B common stock were eliminated so that all shares of Class B common stock are equivalent to shares of Class A common stock with respect to all matters, including without limitation, dividend payments and voting rights. Therefore, beginning in fiscal year 2016 the earnings per share calculation includes all common stock in a single calculation. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to earnings per share for periods prior to fiscal year 2016 reflects the earnings per Class B diluted share as has historically been reported.

Hospitality	33.8		25.2		34	%
Total Net Sales	$	156.6	$	144.4	8	%

The following operating results discussions are based on income from continuing operations and therefore exclude all income statement activity of the discontinued operations.

First quarter fiscal year 2016 consolidated net sales were $156.6 million compared to first quarter fiscal year 2015 net sales of $144.4 million, or an 8% increase driven by sales increases in all vertical markets except the commercial vertical market which was approximately flat. Increased volume and to a lesser extent the positive impact of price increases drove the net sales increase. Our hospitality vertical market sales increase was driven by increased new construction and renovations. Our healthcare vertical market sales increased as our introduction of products specific to healthcare settings is opening up opportunities in this growing market. Our education vertical market sales increased as we increase our focus in this area. Vertical market sales levels can fluctuate depending on the mix of projects in a given quarter.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 we recorded income from continuing operations of $5.6 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.15, inclusive of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, of after-tax restructuring charges. We recorded income from continuing operations of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, inclusive of $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, of after-tax costs related to the spin-off of our EMS segment.

Open orders at September 30, 2015 increased 9% when compared to the open order level as of September 30, 2014 as increased open orders for office furniture more than offset a decline in open orders for hospitality furniture. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased 0.1 of a percentage point in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. The favorable impact of price increases, the benefit of leverage gained on higher sales volumes, and a favorable LIFO inventory reserve adjustment were primarily offset by an unfavorable shift in sales mix to lower margin

product and labor inefficiencies related to the transfer of production from the Idaho manufacturing facility to our other manufacturing facilities.

As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 decreased 4.6 percentage points due to the increased sales volumes coupled with lower costs. In absolute dollars, selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 decreased 7.7% in part due to the retirement of key executives as of the spin-off date. In addition, during the first quarter fiscal year 2015 we incurred expenses of $1.1 million related to the spin-off. We also had a favorable variance within selling and administrative expenses of $0.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 related to the normal revaluation to fair value of our Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) liability. The impact from the change in the SERP liability that was recognized in selling and administrative expenses was offset with the change in fair value of the SERP investments which was recorded in Other Income (Expense), and thus there was no effect on income from continuing operations.

In November 2014, we approved a capacity utilization restructuring plan which includes the consolidation of our metal fabrication production from an operation located in Post Falls, Idaho, into existing production facilities in Indiana, and the reduction of our Company plane fleet from two jets to one. The jet was sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, and as a result of the aircraft fleet reduction, we began realizing the expected pre-tax annual savings of $0.8 million. The remaining jet is primarily used for transporting customers to visit our showrooms, offices, research and development center, and manufacturing locations. The consolidation of our metal fabrication production is underway and after the consolidation is complete, we anticipate annual pre-tax savings of $5 million per year thereafter. We recognized pre-tax restructuring expense related to continuing operations of $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, and recognized no restructuring expense in the three months ended September 30, 2014. See Note 7 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on restructuring.

Other Income (Expense) consisted of the following:



	Three Months Ended
	September 30
(Amounts in Thousands)	2015			2014
Interest Income	$	71		$	41
Interest Expense	(6		)	(6		)
Foreign Currency Loss	(23		)	(25		)
Loss on Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan Investments	(575		)	(186		)
Other	(91		)	(122		)
Other Income (Expense), net	$	(624	)	$	(298	)

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was 38.2% and did not include any material unusual items. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 of 55.1% was unfavorably impacted by nondeductible spin-off expenses.

Comparing the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 to June 30, 2015, inventory levels increased to support lead time requirements of select hospitality customers and to support the manufacturing consolidation plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents position declined to $22.4 million at September 30, 2015 from $34.7 million at June 30, 2015, primarily due to share repurchases and capital expenditures as discussed below.

Working capital at September 30, 2015 was $38.9 million compared to working capital of $44.4 million at June 30, 2015. The current ratio was 1.4 at both September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015.

Kimball's short-term liquidity available, represented as cash and cash equivalents plus the unused amount of our credit facility, totaled $51.4 million at September 30, 2015. We had no short-term borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2015 or June 30, 2015.

Cash Flows

Cash management was centralized prior to the spin-off, thus cash flows prior to the October 31, 2014 spin-off date include Kimball Electronics cash flows. Cash flows from discontinued operations are combined with cash flows from continuing operations within each cash flow statement category on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015.



	Three Months Ended
	September 30
(Amounts in millions)	2015			2014
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities	$	6,324		$	(6,720	)
Net cash used for investing activities	$	(5,902	)	$	(11,029	)
Net cash used for financing activities	$	(12,694	)	$	(4,513	)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 net cash provided by operating activities was $6.3 million and for the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 net cash used by operating activities was $6.7 million. Changes in working capital balances used $3.6 million of cash in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 and $23.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.

The $3.6 million usage of cash from changes in working capital balances in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was driven by fluctuations in our inventory and accrued expenses balances. Inventory levels increased $8.5 million primarily to support lead time requirements of select hospitality customers and to support the manufacturing consolidation plan while accrued expenses declined $5.4 million due to the payment of accrued profit-based incentive compensation during the first quarter. The $23.3 million usage of cash from changes in working capital balances in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 was primarily driven by fluctuations in our accrued expenses, inventory, and accounts receivable balances. Accrued expenses declined $12.2 million primarily due to the payment of accrued profit-based incentive compensation during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. Our inventory balance increased $11.0 million in support of higher sales levels.

Our measure of accounts receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”), for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was approximately 29 days and approximately 30 days, respectively. For the pre-spin periods the amount is estimated on a continuing operations basis. We define DSO as the average of monthly trade accounts and notes receivable divided by an average day's net sales. Our Production Days Supply on Hand (“PDSOH”) of inventory measure for the first quarter ended September 30, 2015 increased to approximately 53 days from approximately 43 days from the first quarter ended September 30, 2014. The PDSOH increase was driven by increased inventory levels to support growth, customer lead time requirements, and the manufacturing consolidation plan. For the pre-spin periods the amount is estimated on a continuing operations basis. We define PDSOH as the average of the monthly gross inventory divided by an average day's cost of sales.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the first quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015, we reinvested $5.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively, into capital investments for the future. The current year first quarter capital investments were primarily for facility improvements and manufacturing equipment. The largest investments during the prior year first quarter were for manufacturing equipment in our discontinued EMS business.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Kimball paid $1.9 million of dividends in both the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. Consistent with our historical dividend policy, the Company's Board of Directors evaluates the appropriate dividend payment on a quarterly basis. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, we repurchased shares pursuant to a previously announced stock repurchase program which drove cash outflow of $9.6 million.

Credit Facility

We maintain a $30 million credit facility with a maturity date of October 2019 that allows for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. This facility provides an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $55 million at our request, subject to the consent of the participating banks. At both September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, we had no short-term

borrowings outstanding. At September 30, 2015, we had $1.0 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility.

The credit facility requires us to comply with certain debt covenants, the most significant of which are the adjusted leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. The adjusted leverage ratio is defined as (a) consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash on hand in the U.S. in excess of $15,000,000 to (b) consolidated EBITDA, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, to not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0. The fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as (a) the sum of (i) consolidated EBITDA, minus (ii) 50% of depreciation expense, minus (iii) taxes paid, minus (iv) dividends and distributions paid, to (b) the sum of (i) scheduled principal payments on indebtedness due and/or paid, plus (ii) interest expense, calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the trailing four fiscal quarters then ending, to not be less than 1.10 to 1.00.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants of the credit facility during the first quarter ended September 30, 2015.

The table below compares the adjusted leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio with the limits specified in the credit agreement.



	At or For the Period Ended		Limit As Specified in
Covenant	September 30, 2015		Credit Agreement	Excess
Adjusted Leverage Ratio	(0.13	)	3.00	3.13
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio	967.21		1.10	966.11

Future Liquidity

We believe our principal sources of liquidity from available funds on hand, cash generated from operations, and the availability of borrowing under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and other operating needs for at least the next 12 months. During the remainder of fiscal year 2016, we may continue to repurchase shares if conditions are favorable. We also expect to continue to invest in capital expenditures prudently, particularly for projects, including potential acquisitions, that would enhance our capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability.

Our ability to generate cash from operations to meet our liquidity obligations could be adversely affected in the future by factors such as general economic and market conditions, lack of availability of raw material components in the supply chain, a decline in demand for our services, loss of key contract customers, and other unforeseen circumstances. In particular, should demand for our products decrease significantly over the next 12 months, the available cash provided by operations could be adversely impacted.

Fair Value

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, no level 1 financial instruments were affected by a lack of market liquidity. For level 1 financial assets, readily available market pricing was used to value the financial instruments.

See Note 8 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to Kimball's summary of contractual obligations under the caption, “Contractual Obligations” in Item 7 “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit and operating leases entered into in the normal course of business. These arrangements do not have a material current effect and are not reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. See Note 6 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on standby letters of credit. We do not have material exposures to trading activities of non-exchange traded contracts.

The preceding statements are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Kimball's condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management uses its best judgment in the assumptions used to value these estimates, which are based on current facts and circumstances, prior experience, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and are the policies that are most critical in the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations. Management has discussed these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Revenue recognition — We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the title and the risk of loss passes to the customer according to the terms of the contract. Title and risk of loss are transferred upon shipment to or receipt at our customers’ locations, or in limited circumstances, as determined by other specific sales terms of the transaction. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. We recognize sales net of applicable sales tax.

•

Sales returns and allowances — Based on estimated product returns and price concessions, a reserve for returns and allowances is recorded at the time of the sales, resulting in a reduction of revenue. These estimates may change over time causing the provisions to be adjusted accordingly. At both September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the reserve for returns and allowances was $0.8 million. The returns and allowances reserve approximated 1% to 2% of gross trade receivables during the two-year period preceding September 30, 2015.

•

Allowance for doubtful accounts — Our estimate for the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable and notes receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to determine the final allowance for credit losses on the trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts at both September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 was $1.0 million. During the two-year period preceding September 30, 2015, this reserve approximated 1% of gross trade accounts receivable prior to the spin-off, and approximated 2% to 4% of post-spin gross trade accounts receivable.

Self-insurance reserves — We are self-insured up to certain limits for auto and general liability, workers' compensation, and certain employee health benefits such as medical, short-term disability, and dental with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as increased medical costs and changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change and reserve levels to be adjusted accordingly. At September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, our accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $3.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Taxes — Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we provide a valuation allowance based on our best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management's assessment.

We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. However, we believe we have made adequate provision for income and other taxes for all years that are subject to audit. As tax positions are effectively settled, the tax provision will be adjusted accordingly. The liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions, was $2.9 million at both September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015.

(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no changes in Kimball's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
