Item 1 - Business

As used herein, the terms “Company,” “Kimball International,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Kimball International, Inc., the Registrant, and its subsidiaries. Reference to a year relates to a fiscal year, ended June 30 of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year unless the context indicates otherwise. Additionally, references to the first, second, third, and fourth quarters refer to those respective quarters of the fiscal year indicated.

Overview

Kimball International was incorporated in Indiana in 1939. Our corporate headquarters is located at 1600 Royal Street, Jasper, Indiana. We create design-driven, innovative furnishings that help our customers shape spaces into places that bring possibility to life by enabling collaboration, discovery, wellness, and relaxation. We go to market through our family of brands: Kimball, National, Kimball Hospitality, David Edward, and D’style by Kimball Hospitality. Our values and high integrity are demonstrated daily by embracing our purpose and guiding principles while fostering a culture of caring that establishes us as an employer of choice. We build success through nurturing long-term relationships with our customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.

We have been in the furniture business since 1950. Our core markets include the commercial, hospitality, healthcare, education, government, and finance markets. Through each of our brands, we offer a wide range of possibilities for creating functional environments that convey just the right image for each unique setting, as furniture solutions are tailored to the specific end user’s needs and demands. The workplace is evolving to optimize human interaction, and Kimball and National provide residentially inspired furniture solutions that create spaces where people can connect. While our rich heritage of wood craftsmanship remains, our new product portfolio incorporates the use of mixed materials, satisfying the marketplace’s need for multi-functional, open accommodations throughout all industries. Our furniture solutions are used in collaborative and open work spaces, conference and meeting/huddle rooms, training rooms, private offices, learning areas, classrooms, lobby/reception areas, and dining/café areas with a vast mix of wood, metal, laminate, paint, fabric, solid surface, and plastic options. In addition, we offer products designed specifically for the healthcare market, such as casegoods and seating for patient exam rooms and lounge areas. In the hospitality industry, Kimball Hospitality works with leading designers, purchasing agents, and hotel owners to create furniture that extends the unique ambiance of a property into guest rooms and public spaces by providing furniture solutions for hotel properties and mixed use commercial and residential developments. Hospitality products include,

but are not limited to, headboards, tables, seating, vanities, casegoods, lighting, and products enhanced with technology features utilizing a broad mix of wood, metal, stone, laminate, finish, glass, and fabric options.

Spin-Off of Kimball Electronics

On October 31, 2014 (the “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 our shareholders of record as of October 22, 2014. After the Distribution Date, we no longer beneficially own any Kimball Electronics shares, and Kimball Electronics is an independent publicly traded company. Kimball International, Inc. trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “KBAL” and Kimball Electronics, Inc. trades on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “KE”.

The disclosures within this Part I describe the continuing operations of Kimball International, Inc. after the spin-off.

Recent Business Changes

‘Kimball International Connect’ Strategy

In May 2019, Kimball International introduced a comprehensive strategy to connect our purpose, our people, and our brands to drive growth and unlock the Company’s full potential. Kimball International Connect seeks to enable the power of our people and positions our organization to engage at higher levels of collaboration and interdependence. We believe this strategy will successfully position us for the future and result in enhanced shareholder value over the long term.

Our Kimball International Connect Strategy is comprised of four pillars:


▪	Inspire Our People: Leveraging our strong legacy of a bold and entrepreneurial spirit, we are cultivating a high-performance, caring culture. We unveiled our new purpose to our employees on May 9, 2019 and are investing in our training, technology and systems to remain an employer of choice and a great place to work.

▪

Build Our Capabilities: We are creating center-led functions, including finance, human resources, information technology and legal, and are centralizing supply chain leadership to reduce duplication, deliver efficiencies, and drive consistency. We are also adopting ways of working to ensure the use of common best practices and approaches. To achieve our goals, we established a Program Management Office to oversee execution.


▪	Fuel Our Future: We are driving lean throughout the organization, removing duplication at the business level, and infusing capital to accelerate efficiencies. Related to this, we are employing a more metrics-based approach and driving toward more formal standardized operating practices.


▪	Accelerate Our Growth: We are continuing to advance new product development across our brands, selectively expanding our verticals and channels, including healthcare and e-commerce, and driving commercial excellence. We believe by being our customers’ first choice for shaping places that bring collaboration, discovery, wellness and relaxation to life, we will capture greater market share.

Transformation Restructuring Plan


•	Our overall manufacturing facility footprint is being reviewed to reduce excess capacity and gain efficiencies. We plan to exit a leased seating manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia in the second half of fiscal year 2020 and are evaluating our production capabilities and capacity across our organization to identify additional opportunities.


•	The creation of center-led functions for finance, human resources, information technology and legal functions is expected to result in the standardization of processes and the elimination of duplication. In addition, we are centralizing our supply chain efforts to maximize supplier value and plan to drive more efficient practices and operations within our logistics function.


•	Kimball brand selling resources are being reallocated to higher-growth markets. We also plan to exit four leased furniture showrooms across our brands during fiscal year 2020.

These efforts are expected to generate annualized pre-tax savings of approximately $10.0 million when the transformation restructuring plan is fully implemented. We estimate that pre-tax restructuring charges incurred through the end of fiscal year 2020 will be approximately $8.0 million to $9.0 million.

Acquisition of David Edward Furniture, Inc. (“David Edward”)

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain specified limited liabilities of David Edward, which is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. David Edward is a premier designer and manufacturer of contract furniture, sold in the healthcare, corporate, education, and premium hospitality markets. David Edward products are sold primarily in the North American market. David Edward’s products are generally specified by architects and designers, represented through a network of independent representatives, and sold through authorized furniture dealerships. The David Edward product portfolio consists of classic and contemporary designs, focused primarily in the seating, tables, and ancillary furniture categories. In conjunction with the asset acquisition, we leased the two existing David Edward production facilities in Baltimore, Maryland and Red Lion, Pennsylvania. The cash paid for the acquisition totaled $4.3 million. The purchase price has been adjusted for certain post-closing working capital adjustments. See Note 2 - Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the acquisition.

Acquisition of D’style, Inc.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we acquired certain assets of D’style, Inc. (“D’style”), headquartered in Chula Vista, California. The acquisition expanded our hospitality offerings beyond guest rooms to public spaces and provided new mixed material manufacturing capabilities. As part of this acquisition, we also acquired all of the capital stock of Diseños de Estilo S.A. de C.V. headquartered in Tijuana, Mexico, another member of the D’style group which manufactures exclusively for D’style, strengthening our North American manufacturing footprint and serving as a distribution channel to the Mexico and Latin America hospitality markets. The cash paid for the acquisition totaled $18.2 million. In fiscal year 2019, we paid $0.4 million in contingent earn-out consideration and expect to pay an additional $0.4 million in contingent earn-out consideration in fiscal year 2020 based upon D’style, Inc.’s fiscal year 2018 and fiscal year 2019 operating income compared to a predetermined target for each fiscal year. See Note 2 - Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the acquisition.

Capacity Utilization Restructuring Plan

The transfer of work from our Idaho facility involved the start-up of metal fabrication capabilities in an existing Company-owned facility, along with the transfer of certain assembly operations into two additional existing Company-owned facilities, all located in southern Indiana. All production was transferred out of the Idaho facility as of March 2016, after which work continued in the Indiana facilities to train employees, ramp up production and eliminate the inefficiencies associated with the start-up of production in these facilities. The improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and reduction of transportation costs began to generate pre-tax annual savings of approximately $5 million in fiscal year 2017. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, we sold our Post Falls, Idaho facility and land. See Note 8 - Property and Equipment of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the sale of the Idaho facility.

Outsourcing of Shipping Function

During fiscal year 2018, we outsourced the remainder of our outbound shipping that was previously transported by our Company-owned shipping fleet to a dedicated freight provider and sold our fleet of over-the-road tractors and trailers. The outsourcing to a dedicated freight provider partially mitigated increased transportation costs during fiscal year 2018 from non-dedicated freight carriers. The dedicated freight provider operates transportation equipment with our Company branding. We continue to operate Company-owned tractors and trailers to move products between our production facilities and distribution warehouses.

Seasonality

The impact of seasonality on our revenue includes lower sales to educational institutions during our second and third fiscal quarters, lower sales of hospitality furniture during times of high hotel occupancy such as the summer months, and lower sales in our third fiscal quarter due to the buying season of the government.

Locations

As of June 30, 2019, our products were primarily produced at twelve Company-owned or leased manufacturing facilities: six located in Indiana, two in Kentucky, one in Virginia, one in Pennsylvania, one in Maryland, and one in Mexico. We also engage with third-party manufacturers within the U.S. as well as internationally to produce select finished goods and accessories for our brands. As part of our transformation restructuring plan, during fiscal year 2020 we plan to exit our leased manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia and are continuing to evaluate our production capabilities and capacity across our organization to identify additional opportunities.

As described above, our facility in Idaho was sold in fiscal year 2017. A facility in Indiana which housed an education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom was sold near the end of fiscal year 2017. We leased a portion of the facility back until December 2017 to facilitate the transition of those functions to other existing Indiana locations.

As of June 30, 2019, thirteen furniture showrooms were maintained in eight cities in the United States. As part of our transformation restructuring plan, we plan to exit four of those furniture showrooms during fiscal year 2020. Office space is leased in Dongguan, Guangdong, China and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to facilitate sourcing of select finished goods and components from the Asia Pacific Region. As a result of the acquisition of D’style, we lease office and manufacturing space in Chula Vista, California and Tijuana, Mexico. We also lease office and manufacturing space in Red Lion, Pennsylvania and Baltimore, Maryland as a result of the David Edward acquisition.

Financial information by geographic area for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2019 is included in Note 17 - Geographic Information of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and is incorporated herein by reference.

Marketing Channels

Our furniture is marketed to end users by both independent and employee sales representatives, office furniture dealers, wholesalers, brokers, designers, purchasing companies, and catalog houses throughout North America and on an international basis. Customers can access our products globally through a variety of distribution channels.

We categorize our sales by the following vertical markets:

Commercial - The largest portion of our business is in the commercial market. We are a full-facility provider offering products for a variety of commercial applications including: office, collaborative and open plan, lobby-lounge, conferencing and meeting/huddle, training, dining/café, learning, lobby and reception, and other public spaces.

Education - Whether K-12, higher education, vocational training or any other learning institution, we understand that furniture for education needs to enhance learning and social environments. We offer flexible, collaborative, and technology-driven furnishings designed to make students and faculty more productive and comfortable.

Healthcare - We are focused on better outcomes for patients, their families, the staff that heals them, and the environments surrounding them by offering products to value-conscious healthcare customers, including hospitals, clinics, physician office buildings, long-term care facilities, and assisted living facilities throughout the country.

Hospitality - We offer a complete package of products for guest rooms and public spaces plus service support to the hospitality industry. We partner with the most recognized hotel brands to meet their specific requirements for properties throughout the world by working with a worldwide manufacturing base to offer the best solution to fulfill the project.

Finance - Banking and financial offices require affordable, functional, and stylish environments. Our versatile and customizable furnishings offer sophisticated styles for reception areas, employee work spaces, executive offices, and boardrooms.

Government - We supply office furniture, including desks, tables, seating, bookcases and filing and storage units for federal, state, and local government offices, as well as other government-related entities. We hold two Federal Supply Service contracts with the General Services Administration (“GSA”) that are subject to government subcontract reporting requirements. We also partner with multiple general purchasing organizations that assist public agencies such as state and local governments with furniture purchases. The U.S. government, as well as state and local governments, can terminate or modify their contracts with us at their discretion or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract, which would expose us to liability and impede our ability to compete in the future for contracts and orders.

A table showing our net sales by end market vertical is included in Part II, Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Major Competitive Factors

Our products are sold in the contract furniture and hospitality furniture industries. These industries have similar major competitive factors, which include price in relation to quality and appearance, product design, the utility of the product, supplier lead time, reliability of on-time delivery, sustainability, and the ability to respond to requests for special and non-standard products. We offer payment terms similar to industry standards and in unique circumstances may grant alternate payment terms.

Certain industries are more price sensitive than others, but all expect on-time, damage-free delivery. In addition to the many options available on our standard furniture products, custom furniture is produced to customer specifications and shipping timelines on a project basis.

Competitors

There are numerous furniture manufacturers competing within the marketplace, with a significant number of competitors offering similar products.

Our competition includes furniture manufacturers such as Steelcase Inc., Herman Miller, Inc., Knoll, Inc., HNI Corporation, and a large number of smaller privately-owned furniture manufacturers, both domestic and foreign-based.

Working Capital

We do not believe that we, or the contract furniture or hospitality furniture industries in general, have any special practices or special conditions affecting working capital items that are significant for understanding our furniture business. We do receive advance payments from customers on select furniture projects, primarily in the hospitality industry.

Raw Material Availability

Certain components used in the production of furniture are manufactured internally and are generally readily available, as are other raw materials used in the production of wood and non-wood furniture. Certain fabricated seating components, wood frame assemblies as well as finished furniture products, electrical components, stone, fabrics, and fabricated metal components, which are generally readily available, are sourced on a global scale in an effort to provide quality products at the lowest total cost. In fiscal year 2018, the U.S. government imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imported from several countries. The list of products subject to tariffs was expanded in fiscal year 2019 to include furniture products, parts, and components. The U.S. government continues to evaluate the ongoing need for, and the amount of, tariffs, and if further or increased tariffs are assessed, the cost and availability of both domestic and foreign sourced product and components could be further impacted.

Order Backlog

The aggregate sales price of products pursuant to open orders, which may be canceled by the customer, was as follows:



(Amounts in Millions)	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Order Backlog	$	161.7	$	149.9

Our fiscal year 2018 order backlog has been recast to reflect the impact of the adoption of guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers using a full retrospective transition method.

Of the order backlog increase, $2.5 million was due to orders from our David Edward operation in fiscal year 2019, while the remainder of the increase was driven by higher organic office furniture orders. The open orders as of June 30, 2019 are expected to be filled within the next fiscal year. Open orders may not be indicative of future sales trends.

Intellectual Property

In connection with our business operations, we hold both trademarks and patents in various countries and continuously have additional pending trademarks and patents. The intellectual property which we believe to be the most significant to the Company includes: Kimball, National, D’style, David Edward, Fringe, Waveworks, Xsite, Narrate, Pairings, Dock, and Respitality, which are all registered trademarks. Our patents expire at various times depending on the patent’s date of issuance.

Environment and Energy Matters

Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations with respect to environmental matters. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with present laws and regulations and that there are no material liabilities related to such items.

We are dedicated to excellence, leadership, and stewardship in matters of protecting the environment and communities in which we have operations. Reinforcing our commitment to the environment, six of our showrooms and one non-manufacturing location were designed under the guidelines of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Commercial Interiors program. One manufacturing facility was designed using the LEED Operations and Maintenance program guidelines. Our National brand headquarters is Fitwel certified, which is a building certification that supports healthier workplace environments to improve occupant health and productivity.

We believe that continued compliance with foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations which have been enacted relating to the protection of the environment will not have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. We believe capital expenditures for environmental control equipment during the next two fiscal years ending June 30, 2021 will not represent a material portion of total capital expenditures during those years.

Our manufacturing operations require the use of natural gas and electricity. Federal and state regulations may control the allocation of fuels available to us, but to date we have experienced no interruption of production due to such regulations. In our wood furniture manufacturing plants, a portion of energy requirements are satisfied internally by the use of our own scrap wood produced during the manufacturing of product.

Employees



	June 30, 2019	June 30, 2018
United States	2,982	2,921
Foreign Countries	145	153
Total Employees	3,127	3,074

Our U.S. operations are not subject to collective bargaining arrangements. Outside of the U.S., approximately 43 employees are represented by worker’s unions that operate to promote the interests of workers. We believe that our employee relations are good.

Available Information

We make available free of charge through our website, www.kimballinternational.com/public-filings, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. Our Internet website and the information contained on, or accessible through, such website is not incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1A - Risk Factors

The following important risk factors could affect future results and events, causing results and events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements made in this report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Such factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and should be carefully considered before deciding to invest in, or retain, shares of our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not currently know about, we currently believe are immaterial or we have not predicted may also affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Because of these and other factors, past performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.

We may not be successful in implementing and managing our Kimball International Connect Strategy. In May 2019, we introduced our comprehensive Kimball International Connect strategy that is intended to connect our purpose, our people, and our brands to drive growth. The execution of this strategy involves risk, as management’s focus and Company resources could be diverted from our core operations, growth in our business could lead to operating inefficiencies, our corporate culture could be disrupted, which could lead to employee attrition, and our revenues could fall or could fail to grow as intended, any of which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our restructuring efforts may not be successful. In June 2019, we announced a transformation restructuring plan that is intended to optimize resources for future growth, improve efficiency, and build capabilities across our organization. A critical component of our transformation restructuring plan is the transfer of production among facilities, which may result in management’s focus being diverted from our core operations, manufacturing inefficiencies, and excess working capital during the transition period. We are also creating center-led functions for finance, human resources, information technology and legal functions and are centralizing our supply chain efforts. The transition to center-led functions involves risk, as management’s focus could be diverted from our core operations. In addition, Kimball brand selling resources are being reallocated to higher-

growth markets, and we plan to exit four furniture showrooms across our brands during fiscal year 2020, which could cause a temporary or permanent decline in revenues as the reallocation of resources is being implemented or if anticipated revenues are not realized in the higher-growth markets. The successful execution of our transformation restructuring plan is also dependent on the realization of cost savings, and, even if successful, the transformation restructuring plan may not be accomplished as quickly or effectively as anticipated.

Changes to government regulations may significantly increase our operating costs in the United States and abroad. Legislative and regulatory reforms by the U.S. federal and foreign governments could significantly impact our profitability by burdening us with forced cost choices that are difficult to recover with increased pricing. For example:

•

We depend on suppliers globally to provide materials, parts, finished goods, and components for use in our products. We utilize both steel and aluminum in our products, most of which is sourced domestically. The U.S. originally imposed tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum imported from several countries, effective in June 2018, which has adversely impacted our input costs. The government expanded its list of products subject to tariffs to include furniture products, parts, and components at a 10% rate effective September 2018, increasing to an effective rate of 25% effective in June 2019, which increased the landed cost of our products. These various actions and the potential for further tariff increases have prompted other countries to consider, and in some instances implement, retaliatory tariffs. Additional tariffs or changes in global trade agreements or in U.S. governmental import/export regulations could cause the landed cost of our products to increase materially and could reduce our net income if we are unable to mitigate the additional cost, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

•

We conduct business with entities in Canada and Mexico; therefore, the replacement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) being negotiated by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, which is called the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), could result in increased regulation on, or otherwise impact, trade between the countries, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.


•	We import a portion of our wooden furniture products and are thus subject to an anti-dumping tariff specifically on wooden bedroom furniture supplied from China. The tariffs are subject to review and could result in retroactive and prospective tariff rate increases, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

•

State and foreign regulations are increasing in many areas, such as hazardous waste disposal, labor relations, employment practices and data privacy, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, among others. Compliance with privacy regulations requires us to change our processes in order to track personal information collected from consumers and implement procedures to obtain consent from consumers regarding the usage of their information. These additional processes, or any violations of these state and foreign regulations, could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We may be unable to purchase a sufficient amount of materials, parts, and components for use in our products at a competitive price, in a timely manner, or at all. We depend on suppliers globally to provide timely delivery of materials, parts, and components for use in our products. We monitor the financial stability of suppliers when feasible, as the loss of a significant supplier could have an adverse impact on our operations. Certain finished products and components we purchase are primarily manufactured in select regions of the world, and issues in those regions could cause manufacturing delays. In addition, delays can occur related to the transport of products and components via container ships, which load and unload through various U.S. ports that sometimes experience congestion. Price increases of commodity components could have an adverse impact on our profitability if we cannot offset such increases with other cost reductions or by price increases to customers. New tariffs or trade regulations which have been and could be imposed by the U.S. federal government may adversely impact our access, price, and delivery of finished products and components from foreign sources, and therefore adversely affect our profitability. Materials we utilize are generally available, but future availability is unknown and could impact our ability to meet customer order requirements. If suppliers fail to meet commitments to us in terms of price, delivery, or quality, it could interrupt our operations and negatively impact our ability to meet commitments to customers.

Uncertain macroeconomic and industry conditions, or a sustained slowdown or significant downturn in our markets, could adversely impact demand for our products and adversely affect operating results. Market demand for our products, which impacts revenues and gross profit, is influenced by a variety of economic and industry factors such as:


•	global consumer confidence;


•	volatility and the cyclical nature of worldwide economic conditions;


•	weakness in the global financial markets;


•	general corporate profitability of the end markets to which we sell;


•	credit availability to the end markets to which we sell;


•	service-sector unemployment rates;


•	commercial property vacancy rates;


•	non-residential construction and refurbishment rates;


•	deficit status of many governmental entities which may result in declining purchases of office furniture;


•	uncertainty surrounding potential reform of the Affordable Care Act; and


•	new hotel and casino construction and refurbishment rates.

We must make decisions based on order volumes in order to achieve manufacturing efficiency. These decisions include determining what level of additional business to accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, and personnel requirements, among various other considerations. We must constantly monitor the changing economic landscape and may modify our strategic direction accordingly. If we do not react quickly enough to the changes in market or economic conditions, it could result in lost customers, decreased market share, and increased operating costs.

We are subject to manufacturing inefficiencies due to the transfer of production among our facilities and other factors. At times we may experience labor or other manufacturing inefficiencies due to factors such as new product introductions, transfers of production among our manufacturing facilities, a sudden decline in sales, a new operating system, or turnover in personnel. Manufacturing inefficiencies could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

A shortage of capacity in the trucking industry could drive increases in freight costs. We outsource inbound and outbound shipping to third-party contract carriers, including a dedicated freight provider that operates transportation equipment with our Company branding, and other commercial contract carriers. We may experience pressure on freight costs if our demand exceeds the capacity of available trucking fleets, particularly for commercial contract carriers. In periods of tight capacity, we may be unable to mitigate a freight cost increase through our supply chain planning or by increasing prices on our products, which could adversely affect our profitability.

Changes in U.S. fiscal and tax policies may adversely affect our business. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act reduced federal corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018 and changed numerous other provisions. Because Kimball International has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate federal income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 28.1% for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The statutory federal tax rate is 21% for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and subsequent fiscal years. The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex and could be further impacted by, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, or any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act. States or foreign jurisdictions may amend their tax laws and policies in response to the Tax Act, which could have a material impact on our future results and our effective tax rate.

Fluctuations in our effective tax rate could have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, mainly in the United States. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes, other tax liabilities, interest, and penalties. 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. We have also made assumptions about the realization of deferred tax assets. Changes in these assumptions could result in a valuation allowance for these assets. Final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is currently reflected by our income tax provisions and accruals, which could adversely impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our failure to retain our existing management team, maintain our engineering, technical, and manufacturing process expertise, or continue to attract qualified personnel could adversely affect our business. We depend significantly on our executive officers and other key personnel. Our success is also dependent on keeping pace with technological advancements and adapting services to provide manufacturing capabilities that meet customers’ changing needs. To do that, we must retain our qualified engineering and technical personnel and successfully anticipate and respond to technological changes in a cost effective and timely manner. Our culture and guiding principles focus on continuous training, motivation, and development of employees, and we strive to attract, motivate, and retain qualified personnel. Failure to retain our executive officers and retain and attract other key personnel could adversely affect our business.

Turnover in personnel could cause manufacturing inefficiencies. The demand for manufacturing labor in certain geographic areas makes retaining experienced production employees difficult. Turnover could result in lost time due to inefficiencies and the need for additional training, which could impact our operating results.

Our sales to the U.S. government are subject to compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements, and noncompliance could expose us to liability or impede current or future business. The U.S. government, as well as state and local governments, can typically terminate or modify their contracts with us either at their discretion or if we default by failing

to perform under the terms of the applicable contract, which could expose us to liability and impede our ability to compete in the future for contracts and orders. The failure to comply with regulatory and contractual requirements could subject us to investigations, fines, or other penalties, and violations of certain regulatory and contractual requirements could also result in us being suspended or debarred from future government contracting.

We may pursue acquisitions that present risks and may not be successful. Our sales growth plans may occur through both organic growth and acquisitions. Acquisitions involve many risks that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including:


•	difficulties in identifying suitable acquisition candidates and in negotiating and consummating acquisitions on terms attractive to us;


•	difficulties in the assimilation of the operations of the acquired company;


•	the diversion of resources, including diverting management’s attention from our current operations;


•	risks of entering new geographic or product markets in which we have limited or no direct prior experience;


•	the potential loss of key customers, suppliers and employees of the acquired company;


•	the potential incurrence of indebtedness to fund the acquisition;


•	the potential issuance of common stock for some or all of the purchase price, which could dilute ownership interests of our current shareholders;


•	the acquired business not achieving anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flow, or market share;


•	excess capacity;


•	failure to achieve the expected synergies resulting from the acquisition;


•	inaccurate assessment of undisclosed, contingent, or other liabilities or problems and unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition;


•	incorrect estimates made in accounting for acquisitions, incurrence of non-recurring charges, and write-off of significant amounts of goodwill that could adversely affect our financial results; and


•	dilution of earnings.

We may not be successful in launching start-up operations or expanding our business in digital marketplaces. We are committed to growing our business, and therefore from time to time, we may determine that it would be in our best interests to start up a new operation or establish a digital presence to sell certain products. Start-up operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties, such as funding the capital expenditures related to the start-up operation, developing a management team for the new operation, diversion of management focus away from current operations, and creation of excess capacity. The risks and uncertainties that come with a digital presence include competition from more established competitors in the marketplace, responding quickly to consumer traffic patterns, supporting demand outside our current distribution channels, and additional cybersecurity risks. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our business depends on information technology systems and digital capabilities that are implemented in a manner intended to minimize the risk of a cybersecurity breach or other such threat, including the misappropriation of assets or other sensitive information or data corruption, which could cause operational disruption. An ongoing commitment of significant resources is required to maintain and enhance our existing information systems and implement the new and emerging technology necessary to meet customer expectations and compete in our markets. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access change frequently and are not often recognized until after they have been launched. We recognize that any breach could disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, erode our share value, drive remediation expenses, or increase costs related to the mitigation of, response to, or litigation arising from any such issue. We cannot guarantee that our cybersecurity measures will completely prevent others from obtaining unauthorized access to our enterprise network, system and data.

Many states and the U.S. federal government are increasingly enacting laws and regulations to protect consumers against identity theft and to also protect their privacy. As our business expands globally, we are subject to data privacy and other similar laws in various foreign jurisdictions. If we are the target of a cybersecurity attack resulting in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential data, we may be required to execute costly notification procedures. Compliance with these laws will likely increase the costs of doing business. If we fail to implement appropriate safeguards or to detect and provide prompt notice of unauthorized access as required by some of these laws, we could be subject to potential claims for damages and other remedies, which could harm our business.

We may be exposed to the credit risk of our customers who are adversely affected by weakness in market conditions. Weakness in market conditions may drive an elevated risk of potential bankruptcy of our customers resulting in a greater risk of uncollectible outstanding accounts receivable. The realization of these risks could have a negative impact on our profitability.

Reduction of purchases by or the loss of a significant number of customers could reduce revenues and profitability. Significant declines in the level of purchases by customers or the loss of a significant number of customers could have a material adverse effect on our business. A reduction of, or uncertainty surrounding, government spending could also have an adverse impact on our sales levels. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to fully replace any lost sales, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

We operate in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to compete successfully. The office and hospitality furniture industries are competitive due to numerous global manufacturers competing in the marketplace. In times of reduced demand for office furniture, large competitors may have greater efficiencies of scale or may apply more pressure to their aligned distribution to sell their products exclusively, which could lead to reduced opportunities for our products. While we work toward reducing costs to respond to pricing pressures, if we cannot achieve proportionate reductions in costs, profit margins may suffer.

Our operating results could be adversely affected by increases in the cost of fuel and other energy sources. The cost of energy is a critical component of freight expense and the cost of operating manufacturing facilities. Increases in the cost of energy could reduce our profitability.

A change in our sales mix among our diversified product offerings could have a negative impact on our gross profit margin. Changes in product sales mix could negatively impact our gross margin, as margins of different products vary. We strive to improve the margins of all products, but certain products have lower margins in order to price the product competitively. An increase in the proportion of sales of products with lower margins could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our international operations involve financial and operational risks. We have a manufacturing operation outside the United States in Mexico, and administrative offices in China and Vietnam that coordinate with suppliers in those countries. These international operations are subject to a number of risks, including the following:


•	economic and political instability;


•	various and potentially conflicting cultural norms and business practices;


•	warfare, riots, terrorism, and other forms of violence or geopolitical disruption;


•	compliance with laws, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, applicable to U.S. companies doing business outside the United States;


•	changes in foreign regulatory requirements and laws;


•	health and security issues;


•	tariffs and other trade barriers;


•	potentially adverse tax consequences, including the manner in which multinational companies are taxed in the U.S.; and


•	foreign labor practices.

These risks could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates could impact our operating results. Our risk management strategy may include the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Any hedging techniques we implement contain risks and may not be entirely effective. Exchange rate fluctuations could also make our products more expensive than a competitor's products not subject to these fluctuations, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability in international markets.

If efforts to introduce new products or start-up new programs are not successful, this could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline. We regularly introduce new products to keep pace with workplace trends and evolving regulatory and industry requirements, including environmental, health, and safety standards such as sustainability and ergonomic considerations, and similar standards for the workplace and for product performance. Shifts in workforce demographics, working styles, and technology may impact the quantity and types of furniture products purchased by our customers, as commercial private office spaces occupy smaller footprints and collaborative, open-plan workstations gain popularity. The introduction of new products or the start-up of new programs require the coordination of the design, manufacturing, and marketing of such products. The design and engineering required for certain new products or programs can take an extended period of time, and further time may be required to achieve customer acceptance. Accordingly, the launch of any particular product or program may be delayed or may be less successful than we originally anticipated. Difficulties or delays in introducing new products or programs, or lack of customer acceptance of new products or programs could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline.

If customers do not perceive our products and services to be innovative and of high quality, our brand and name recognition and reputation could suffer. We believe that establishing and maintaining good brand and name recognition and a good reputation is critical to our business. Promotion and enhancement of our name and brands will depend on the effectiveness of marketing and advertising efforts and on successfully providing design-driven, innovative, and high-quality

products and superior services. If customers do not perceive our products and services to be design-driven, innovative, and of high quality, our reputation, brand and name recognition could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

A loss of independent sales representatives, dealers, or other sales channels could lead to a decline in sales. Our commercial furniture is marketed to end users through both independent and employee sales representatives, commercial furniture dealers, wholesalers, brokers, designers, purchasing companies, and catalog houses. Our hospitality furniture is marketed to end users using independent sales representatives. A significant loss within any of these sales channels could result in a sales decline and thus have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Additionally, transitions within our sales organization to higher growth markets within our Kimball brand and our planned closure of four furniture showrooms across our brands could negatively affect our current commercial relationships, which could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Failure to effectively manage working capital may adversely affect our cash flow from operations. We closely monitor inventory and receivable efficiencies and strive to improve these measures of working capital, but customer financial difficulties, cancellation or delay of customer orders, transfers of production among our manufacturing facilities, or manufacturing delays could adversely affect our cash flow from operations.

We could incur losses due to asset impairment. As business conditions change, we must continually evaluate and work toward the optimum asset base. It is possible that certain assets such as, but not limited to, facilities, equipment, lease assets, goodwill, or other intangible assets, could be impaired at some point in the future depending on changing business conditions. Goodwill and certain intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or when triggering events occur. Such resulting impairment could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

A failure to comply with the financial covenants under our $30.0 million credit facility could adversely impact us. Our credit facility requires us to comply with certain financial covenants. We believe the most significant covenants under this credit facility are the adjusted leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. More detail on these financial covenants is discussed in Part II, Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2019, we had no borrowings under this credit facility and we had $1.5 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. In the future, a default on the financial covenants under our credit facility could cause an increase in our borrowing rates or could make it more difficult for us to secure future financing, which could adversely affect our financial condition. We expect to negotiate a new credit facility to replace this credit facility prior to its October 2019 expiration. However, changing conditions in the credit markets or unforeseen circumstances could adversely impact the replacement of this credit facility, and if we are not able to replace this credit facility upon its expiration or on similar terms, it could adversely affect our financial condition.

Failure to protect our intellectual property could undermine our competitive position. We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights, both in the United States and in foreign countries, through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements and third-party non-disclosure and assignment agreements. Because of the differences in foreign laws concerning proprietary rights, our intellectual property rights do not generally receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as they do in the United States, and therefore in some parts of the world, we have limited protections, if any, for our intellectual property. Competing effectively depends, to a significant extent, on maintaining the proprietary nature of our intellectual property. The degree of protection offered by our various patents and trademarks may not be broad enough to provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company, and patents or trademarks may not be issued on pending or contemplated applications. In addition, not all of our products are covered by patents. It is also possible that our patents and trademarks may be challenged, invalidated, canceled, narrowed, or circumvented.

We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their intellectual property rights and incur substantial litigation or other costs. Prior to launching major new products in our key markets, we normally evaluate existing intellectual property rights. However, our competitors may have filed for patent protection that is not, at the time of our evaluation, a matter of public knowledge. Our efforts to identify and avoid infringing upon third parties' intellectual property rights may not be successful. We could be notified of a claim regarding intellectual property rights, which could lead us to spend time and money to defend or address the claim. Even if the claim is without merit, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

Our insurance may not adequately protect us from liabilities related to product defects. We maintain product liability and other insurance coverage that we believe to be generally in accordance with industry practices, but our insurance coverage does not extend to field visits to repair, retrofit or replace defective products, or to product recalls. As a result, our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us fully against substantial claims and costs that may arise from liabilities related to product defects, particularly if we have a large number of defective products that we must repair, retrofit, replace, or recall.

Increases in the cost of providing employee healthcare benefits could reduce our profitability. There may continue to be upward pressure on the cost of providing healthcare benefits to our employees. We are self-insured for healthcare benefits, so we incur the cost of claims, including catastrophic claims that may occasionally occur, with employees bearing only a limited portion of healthcare costs through employee healthcare premium withholdings. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in limiting cost increases, and continued upward pressure could reduce our profitability.

We are subject to extensive environmental regulation and significant potential environmental liabilities. Our past and present operation and ownership of manufacturing plants and real property are subject to extensive federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to discharges in air, water, and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances. In addition, the increased prevalence of global climate issues may result in new regulations that may negatively impact us. We cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted or what environmental conditions may be found to exist with respect to our facilities and real property. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may require additional expenditures, some of which could be material. In addition, any investigations or remedial efforts relating to environmental matters could involve material costs or otherwise result in material liabilities.

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may impact our production schedules and, in turn, negatively impact profitability. Natural disasters or other catastrophic events, including severe weather, terrorist attacks, power interruptions, and fires, could disrupt operations and likewise our ability to produce or deliver products. Our manufacturing operations require significant amounts of energy, including natural gas and oil, and governmental regulations may control the allocation of such fuels. Employees are an integral part of our business, and events such as a pandemic could reduce the availability of employees reporting for work. In the event we experience a temporary or permanent interruption in our ability to produce or deliver product, revenues could be reduced, and our business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, catastrophic events, or the threat thereof, can adversely affect U.S. and world economies, and could result in delayed or lost sales of our products. In addition, any continuing disruption in our computer system could adversely affect our ability to receive and process customer orders, manufacture products, and ship products on a timely basis, and could adversely affect relations with our customers, potentially resulting in a reduction in orders from customers or a loss of customers. We maintain insurance to help protect us from costs relating to some of these matters, but such insurance may not be sufficient or paid in a timely manner to us in the event of such an interruption.

The value of our common stock may experience substantial fluctuations for reasons over which we may have little control. The value of our common stock could fluctuate substantially based on a variety of factors, including, among others:


•	actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results;


•	announcements concerning our Company, competitors, or industry;


•	overall volatility of the stock market;


•	changes in the financial estimates of securities analysts or investors regarding our Company, the industry, or competitors;


•	general market or economic conditions; and


•	proxy contests or other shareholder activism.

We also provide financial objectives for our expected operating results for future periods. While the information is provided based on current and projected data about the markets we deliver to and our operational capacity and capabilities, the financial objectives are subject to risks and uncertainties. If our future results do not match our financial objectives for a particular period, or if the financial objectives are reduced in future periods, the value of our common stock could decline.

Furthermore, stock prices for many companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. These fluctuations, coupled with changes in results of operations and general economic, political, and market conditions, may adversely affect the value of our common stock.

Item 1B - Unresolved Staff Comments

Item 2 - Properties

The location, number, and use of our major facilities, including our executive and administrative offices, as of June 30, 2019, are as follows:



	Number of Facilities	Use
North America
United States:
Indiana	15	Manufacturing, Warehouse, Office
Kentucky	2	Manufacturing, Office
California	1	Warehouse, Office
Virginia	1	Manufacturing, Warehouse, Office
Maryland	1	Manufacturing, Warehouse, Office
Pennsylvania	1	Manufacturing, Warehouse

The listed facilities occupy approximately 3,457,000 square feet in aggregate as of June 30, 2019, of which approximately 3,050,000 square feet are owned, and 407,000 square feet are leased.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, we acquired substantially all of the assets of David Edward, which is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, and additional production facilities in Red Lion, Pennsylvania, which resulted in our acquisition of 103,000 square feet and 132,000 square feet of leased space, respectively.

Generally, properties are utilized at normal capacity levels on a multiple shift basis. At times, certain facilities utilize a reduced second or third shift. We continually assess our capacity needs and evaluate our operations to optimize our service levels by geographic region.

Significant loss of income resulting from a facility catastrophe would be partially offset by business interruption insurance coverage.

Operating leases for all facilities and related land, including thirteen leased office furniture showroom facilities that are not included in the table above, total 496,000 square feet and expire from fiscal year 2020 to 2027 with many of the leases subject to renewal options. The leased showroom facilities are in six states and the District of Columbia. As part of our transformation restructuring plan, during fiscal year 2020 we plan to exit our leased manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia and four leased furniture showrooms. See Note 9 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning leases.

We own approximately 331 acres of land, which includes land where various facilities reside, including approximately 115 acres of land in the Kimball Industrial Park, Jasper, Indiana.

Item 3 - Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries are not parties to any pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business. The outcome of current routine pending litigation, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse impact.

Item 4 - Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

PART II

Item 5 - Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our Class B common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol: KBAL. There is no established public trading market for our Class A common stock. However, Class A shares are convertible on a one-for-one basis into Class B shares.

Dividends declared on our Class A and Class B common stock totaled $11.9 million and $10.5 million for fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. Consistent with our historical dividend policy, our Board of Directors evaluates the appropriate dividend payment on a quarterly basis.

Shareholders

On August 19, 2019, our Class A common stock was owned by 103 shareholders of record, and our Class B common stock was owned by 1,224 shareholders of record, of which 46 also owned Class A common stock. The shares of our Class B common stock are equal to the shares of our Class A common stock with respect to all matters, including without limitation, dividend payments and voting rights, except that while Class A shares are convertible on a one-for-one basis into Class B shares, our Class B shares cannot be converted into Class A shares.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

The information required by this item concerning securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is incorporated by reference to Item 12 - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Shareholder Matters of Part III of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

A share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors was announced on August 11, 2015. The program allows for the repurchase of up to two million shares of common stock and will remain in effect until all shares authorized have been repurchased. On February 7, 2019 an additional two million shares of common stock were authorized by the Board of Directors for repurchase. The Board of Directors can discontinue this repurchase program at any time. At June 30, 2019, 2.7 million shares remained available under the repurchase program.

During fiscal years 2019 and 2018, we repurchased 0.6 million and 0.5 million shares, respectively, of our common stock. We did not repurchase any shares under the repurchase program during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.

Performance Graphs

The following performance graphs are not deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C under the Exchange Act or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate them by reference into such a filing.

The first graph below compares the cumulative total return to shareholders of our common stock from June 30, 2014 through June 30, 2019, the last business day in the respective fiscal years, to the cumulative total return of the Nasdaq Stock Market (U.S. and Foreign) and a peer group index for the same period of time.

The spin-off of Kimball Electronics is reflected as an increase in the total cumulative return to shareholders as a result of each shareholder receiving a distribution of three shares of Kimball Electronics for every four shares of the Company. The increase in the total cumulative return was calculated based on the value of Kimball Electronics stock, using a 30-day volume weighted average price calculation to eliminate the impact of stock price volatility immediately after the October 31, 2014 spin-off date.

Due to the diversity of our operations prior to the spin-off date, we are not aware of any public companies that are directly comparable. Therefore, the peer group index is comprised of publicly traded companies in both the furniture industry and in our former EMS segment, as follows:

Furniture peers: HNI Corporation, Knoll, Inc., Steelcase Inc., Herman Miller, Inc.

EMS peers (applicable through the October 31, 2014 spin-off): Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Jabil Inc., Plexus Corp.

In order to reflect the segment allocation of Kimball International prior to the October 31, 2014 spin-off date, a market capitalization-weighted index was first computed for each peer group, then a composite peer group index was calculated based on each segment’s proportion of net sales to total consolidated sales for fiscal year 2014 and for fiscal year 2015 through the October 31, 2014 spin-off date. After the spin-off date, only the Furniture peer companies were used in the capitalization-weighted peer group index. The public companies included in the peer groups have a larger revenue base than our furniture business and our former EMS business.

The graph assumes $100 is invested in our Class B common stock and each of the two indexes at the closing market quotations on June 30, 2014 and that dividends and the Kimball Electronics spin-off stock distribution are reinvested in Kimball International. The performances shown on the graph are not necessarily indicative of future price performance.

The spin-off of Kimball Electronics, which represented more than half of our Company in sales and the majority of earnings, makes comparable long-term stock price performance very difficult. Publicly available stock price analyses, such as five-year stock price trends, are not representative of our performance as stock prices in the pre-spin period are not comparable to stock prices in the post-spin period. To aid in trending our performance, below is a cumulative total return performance graph from the spin-off date forward.

On October 31, 2014, we completed the spin-off of our EMS segment. The EMS segment was reclassified to discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. Discontinued operations did not have an impact on the financial results of fiscal years 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016. The preceding table excludes all income statement activity of the discontinued operations.

Fiscal year 2019 income from continuing operations included $0.7 million ($0.02 per diluted share) of after-tax restructuring expenses and $1.5 million ($0.04 per diluted share) of after-tax CEO transition costs.

Fiscal year 2017 income from continuing operations included $1.1 million ($0.03 per diluted share) of after-tax restructuring gains driven by the sale of the Idaho facility.

Fiscal year 2016 income from continuing operations included $4.5 million ($0.12 per diluted share) of after-tax restructuring expenses.

Fiscal year 2015 income from continuing operations included $3.2 million ($0.08 per diluted share) of after-tax restructuring expenses and $3.2 million ($0.08 per diluted share) of after-tax expense related to the spin-off.

Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

For over 65 years, Kimball International, Inc. (the “Company,” “Kimball International,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) has created design-driven, innovative furnishings that have helped our customers shape spaces into places that bring possibility to life by enabling collaboration, discovery, wellness, and relaxation. We go to market through our family of brands: Kimball, National, Kimball Hospitality, David Edward, and D’style by Kimball Hospitality. Our values and integrity are demonstrated daily by embracing our purpose and guiding principles while fostering a culture of caring that establishes us as an employer of choice. We build success through nurturing long-term relationships with customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.

We closely monitor key indicators for the markets in which we compete. As reported by the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer Association (“BIFMA”), the forecast by IHS Markit, a global information provider, as of January 2019 for the North American commercial furniture market, which they define as including office, education, and healthcare furniture

products, projects a year-over-year increase of 3.3% for calendar year 2019. The forecast for two of the leading indicators for the hospitality furniture market in the August 2019 PwC Hospitality Directions U.S. report includes a projected increase in RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) of 1.1% for calendar year 2019 and 1.0% for calendar year 2020, while occupancy levels for calendar 2019 and 2020 continue to hover at peak levels.

Management currently considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding our financial condition and operating performance:

•

‘Kimball International Connect’ Strategy - In May 2019, Kimball International introduced a comprehensive strategy to connect our purpose, our people, and our brands to drive growth and unlock the Company’s full potential. Kimball International Connect seeks to enable the power of our people and position our organization to engage at higher levels of collaboration and interdependence. We believe this strategy will successfully position us for the future and result in enhanced shareholder value over the long term. Our Kimball International Connect Strategy is comprised of four pillars:


•	Inspire Our People: Leveraging our legacy of a bold and entrepreneurial spirit, we are working to cultivate a high-performance, caring culture. We unveiled our new purpose to our employees on May 9, 2019 and are investing in our training, technology and systems to remain an employer of choice and a great place to work.

•

Build Our Capabilities: We are creating center-led functions, including finance, human resources, information technology and legal and are centralizing supply chain leadership to reduce duplication, deliver efficiencies, and drive consistency. We are also adopting ways of working to ensure the use of common best practices and approaches. To achieve our goals, we established a Program Management Office to oversee execution.


•	Fuel Our Future: We are driving lean throughout the organization, removing duplication at the business level, and infusing capital to accelerate efficiencies. Related to this, we are employing a more metrics-based approach and driving toward more formal standardized operating practices.


•	Accelerate Our Growth: We are continuing to advance new product development across our brands, selectively expanding our verticals and channels, including healthcare and e-commerce, and driving commercial excellence. We believe by being our customers’ first choice for shaping places that bring collaboration, discovery, wellness and relaxation to life, we will capture greater market share.

•

Transformation Restructuring Plan - In June 2019, we announced a transformation restructuring plan that is expected to optimize resources for future growth, improve efficiency, and build capabilities across our organization. We believe the transformation restructuring plan will establish a more cost-efficient structure to better align our operations with our long-term strategic goals. The efforts are expected to generate annualized pre-tax savings of approximately $10.0 million when the transformation restructuring plan is fully implemented. We estimate pre-tax restructuring charges incurred through the end of fiscal year 2020 will be approximately $8.0 million to $9.0 million. The transformation restructuring plan includes the following:


•	Our overall manufacturing facility footprint is being reviewed to reduce excess capacity and gain efficiencies. We plan to exit a leased seating manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia in the second half of fiscal year 2020 and are evaluating our production capabilities and capacity across our organization to identify additional opportunities.


•	The creation of center-led functions for finance, human resources, information technology and legal functions is expected to result in the standardization of processes and the elimination of duplication. In addition, we are centralizing our supply chain efforts to maximize supplier value and plan to drive more efficient practices and operations within our logistics function.


•	Kimball brand selling resources are being reallocated to higher-growth markets. We also plan to exit four leased furniture showrooms across our brands during fiscal year 2020.

•

On October 23, 2018, our Board of Directors (“Board”) appointed Kristine L. Juster as Chief Executive Officer, effective November 1, 2018, to succeed Robert F. Schneider who retired as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board on October 31, 2018. Ms. Juster, an independent member of the Board and a member of the Audit Committee from April 2016 until her appointment as Chief Executive Officer, continues to serve as a member of the Board. Ms. Juster served for over 20 years as a Global Executive at Newell Brands, Inc., a leading global consumer goods and commercial products company (“Newell”), until her retirement from Newell in April 2018. During her tenure at Newell, Ms. Juster served as President of the Global Writing Segment from May 2014 until her retirement in April 2018, as President of Newell’s Baby and Parent Segment from November 2011 to April 2014, and in other roles of increasing responsibility since joining Newell in 1995, including serving as President of Newell’s Home Décor Segment and President of Newell’s Culinary Lifestyles Segment.


•	Productivity and lean initiatives resulted in approximately $10 million of cost savings in fiscal year 2019. These initiatives included investments in equipment and automation at our production facilities to improve production flow and increase

efficiency, improvements in transportation and warehousing processes, and other various lean initiatives across all areas of our Company.

•

On October 26, 2018, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain specified limited liabilities of David Edward Furniture, Inc. (“David Edward”), which is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. David Edward is a premier designer and manufacturer of contract furniture, sold in the healthcare, corporate, education, and premium hospitality markets. David Edward products are sold primarily in the North American market. David Edward’s products are generally specified by architects and designers, represented through a network of independent representatives, and sold through authorized furniture dealerships. The David Edward product portfolio consists of classic and contemporary designs, focused primarily in the seating, tables, and ancillary furniture categories. In conjunction with the asset acquisition, we leased the two existing David Edward production facilities in Baltimore, Maryland and Red Lion, Pennsylvania. See Note 2 - Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

•

On November 6, 2017, we successfully completed the acquisition of certain assets of D’style, Inc. (“D’style”) and all of the capital stock of Diseños de Estilo S.A. de C.V., which included administrative and sales offices and warehousing in Chula Vista, California and a manufacturing location in Tijuana, Mexico. The acquisition expanded our hospitality offerings beyond guest rooms to public spaces and provided new mixed material manufacturing capabilities. See Note 2 - Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

•

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act reduced federal corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018 and changed numerous other provisions. Because we have a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal tax rate of 28.1% for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The statutory federal tax rate was 21.0% for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and will be the same in subsequent years.

•

We expect commodity prices to moderate, but we will continue to be exposed to fluctuations in transportation costs, which vary based upon freight carrier capacity and fuel prices. We utilize both steel and aluminum in our products, most of which is sourced domestically. The U.S. originally imposed tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum imported from several countries effective June 2018. The government expanded its list of products subject to tariffs to include furniture products, parts, and components at a 10% rate effective September 2018, increasing to a 25% rate effective June 2019. The U.S. government continues to evaluate the ongoing need for tariffs, and if further tariffs are assessed, the landed cost of our products could increase materially, which would reduce our net income if we are unable to mitigate the additional cost. We are actively striving to offset increases in the cost of these materials through supplier negotiations, global sourcing initiatives, product re-engineering and parts standardization, and price increases on our products.

•

On February 4, 2019, we received notification from the U.S. General Services Administration Office of Inspector General (“GSA OIG”) in response to our self-reporting in 2016 of subcontractor reporting noncompliance and inaccuracies. The GSA OIG Contractor Reporting Program reviewed the information we provided and determined that the government’s interest was sufficiently protected and, as a result, the review of the matter against Kimball International has been terminated.

•

Due to the contract and project nature of furniture markets, fluctuation in the demand for our products and variation in the gross margin on those projects is inherent to our business, which in turn impacts our operating results. 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.


•	We expect to continue to invest in capital expenditures prudently, including 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.


•	We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet. Our short-term liquidity available, represented as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments plus the unused amount of our credit facility, was $134.8 million at June 30, 2019.

A comparison of the results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019, June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 follows this overview.

Net Sales by End Market Vertical
	Year Ended
	June 30
(Amounts in Millions)	2019		2018		% Change
Commercial	$	226.1	$	205.9	10	%
Education	92.1		86.3		7	%

Total Net Sales	$	768.1	$	704.6	9	%

Fiscal year 2019 consolidated net sales were $768.1 million compared to fiscal year 2018 consolidated net sales of $704.6 million, a 9% increase. Organic net sales increased $49.6 million, or 7%, year-over-year due to both higher volume primarily in our hospitality, healthcare and commercial vertical markets and price increases coupled with lower discounting.

Key explanatory comments for our sales by vertical market for fiscal year 2019 compared to fiscal year 2018 follow:


•	Sales growth to the healthcare vertical market was driven by our strategic focus in this marketplace, which included aligning resources, building relationships, and introducing new healthcare products. The healthcare market continues to show stability and growth.


•	We continue to see strength in the hospitality industry, as we had increased sales in both custom and non-custom projects driven by our marketing campaigns, the cyclical nature of the hospitality project business and, to a lesser extent, increased sales of our D’style products.


•	New products with particular appeal to the corporate workplace and continued development of our strategic relationships, as well as overall general growth in this market, drove the higher sales in the commercial vertical market.

•

Both an expanded focus beyond higher education customers and the strength of our new education-centric products drove the increased sales to the education vertical market. In addition, sales were positively impacted early in fiscal year 2019, as the timing of the normal education buying season in fiscal year 2018 was delayed and deferred sales into the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. We also implemented a new program designed to drive early engagement by our sales representatives in education opportunities during fiscal 2019, which we believe positively impacted our sales to this vertical market.


•	Our sales to the finance vertical market increased as large financial institutions continued to invest in their office environments.


•	Government vertical market sales declined primarily due to decreased federal government sales in part due to a decrease in average project size and a partial shift in our focus to other markets.


•	Each of our vertical market sales levels can fluctuate depending on the mix of projects in a given period.

Open orders at June 30, 2019 increased 8%, or 6% on an organic basis, when compared to the open order level as of June 30, 2018, primarily due to higher office furniture backlog driven by increased organic orders and, to a lesser extent, order backlog of David Edward products. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.

In fiscal year 2019, we recorded net income of $39.3 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, inclusive of after-tax Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) transition costs of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, and after-tax restructuring costs of $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. Excluding the CEO transition costs and restructuring costs, our adjusted net income for fiscal year 2019 was $41.6 million, or $1.12 per diluted share. In fiscal year 2018, we recorded net income of $34.4 million, or $0.92 per diluted share. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Indicators” section below.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased 30 basis points in fiscal year 2019 compared to fiscal year 2018, primarily due to increased transportation, commodity and tariff costs, increased employee costs, including healthcare and the negative impact of the David Edward acquisition on gross margin, which we expect will continue in the short-term until productivity improvements and synergies are realized. Our gross margin was favorably impacted by increased product pricing, the savings realized from our cost reduction initiatives, and the leverage gained on higher sales volumes.

As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2019 compared to fiscal year 2018 increased 40 basis points. In absolute dollars, selling and administrative spending increased 11%, primarily due to increased retirement and incentive compensation as a result of achieving higher earning levels, the incremental selling and administrative expenses resulting from the D’style and David Edward acquisitions, higher salary expense, the CEO transition costs incurred in fiscal year 2019, and higher commission expense resulting from higher sales levels. In addition, fiscal year 2018 included a $1.0 million higher gain on the sale of assets than was recorded in fiscal year 2019.

In June 2019, we announced a transformation restructuring plan that is expected to optimize resources for future growth, improve efficiency, and build capabilities across our organization. We believe the transformation restructuring plan will establish a more cost-efficient structure to better align our operations with our long-term strategic goals. We recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $0.9 million in fiscal year 2019 related to our transformation restructuring plan. See Note 3 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our transformation restructuring plan.

Our fiscal year 2018 results of operations included the impact of the enactment of the Tax Act, which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduced federal corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018 and changed numerous other provisions. Because we have a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal tax rate of 28.1% for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, and 21.0% for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and subsequent fiscal years. Our fiscal year 2018 included approximately $3.3 million in reduced income tax expense to reflect federal taxes on taxable income at the lower blended effective tax rate, partially offset by a discrete tax impact of $1.8 million in additional expense as a result of applying the new lower federal income tax rates to our net deferred tax assets.

Our fiscal year 2019 effective tax rate of 23.9% was less than the combined federal and state statutory rate in part due to a $0.3 million research and development tax credit. Our fiscal year 2018 effective tax rate was 34.2%, as the benefits of the Tax Act were partially offset by the negative tax impact of applying the lower federal income tax rates to our net deferred tax assets. Our fiscal year 2018 effective tax rate also included a $0.6 million benefit resulting from a domestic manufacturing deduction.

Comparing our balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2018, the $7.3 million increase in our inventory balance was primarily driven by the acquisition of David Edward, new products introduced in fiscal year 2019, and inventory intentionally purchased prior to the effective date of certain tariffs. Increases in our accrued incentive compensation and retirement were the largest contributors to the $6.9 million increase in our accrued expenses balance.

Fiscal year 2018 consolidated net sales were $704.6 million compared to fiscal year 2017 net sales of $693.0 million, a 2% increase, as $13.0 million of net sales resulting from the D’style acquisition and price increases net of higher discounting more than offset decreased organic sales volume.

Key explanatory comments for our sales by vertical market follow:


•	For fiscal year 2018 compared to fiscal year 2017, increased hospitality vertical market sales were driven by the acquisition of the D’style business and increases in organic non-custom business, which more than offset a sales decline in our custom business.


•	Government vertical market sales for fiscal year 2018 increased as state and local government sales increased while sales to the federal government decreased.


•	Our sales to the education vertical market increased due to our greater focus on this market, despite educational funding being diverted to safety and security products which negatively impacted the timing and size of furniture orders received.


•	Although sales in the healthcare vertical market declined in fiscal year 2018 compared to fiscal year 2017, we experienced a rebound in quoting activity which led to increased shipments and orders in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2018.


•	Each of our vertical market sales levels can fluctuate depending on the mix of projects in a given period.

Open orders at June 30, 2018 increased 12% when compared to the open order level as of June 30, 2017 primarily due to higher hospitality furniture backlog driven by both the D’style acquisition and growth in organic hospitality orders. Excluding an approximate $2.0 million positive impact from a price increase for one of our brands which took effect on July 2, 2018 and accelerated orders into our fiscal year 2018, office furniture backlog as of June 30, 2018 was flat.

In fiscal year 2018 we recorded net income of $34.4 million, or $0.92 per diluted share. In fiscal year 2017 we recorded net income of $37.5 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, inclusive of $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, of after-tax restructuring gain from the sale of the Idaho facility. Excluding the non-recurring gain, our adjusted net income for fiscal year 2017 was $36.4 million, or $0.96 per diluted share. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Indicators” section below.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased 90 basis points in fiscal year 2018 compared to fiscal year 2017, as increased product pricing and lower employee benefit expenses such as healthcare were more than offset by a shift in sales mix to lower margin products, freight cost increases, higher discounting, and an increase in our last-in first-out (“LIFO”) inventory reserve. See Note 7 - Inventories of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on LIFO inventory.

As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2018 compared to fiscal year 2017 decreased 20 basis points due to the increased sales volumes. In absolute dollars selling and administrative spending increased 1% as the additional selling and administrative expenses of the D’style acquisition, higher salary expense, and higher marketing expenditures to grow the business were partially offset by lower incentive compensation costs. During fiscal year 2018 we recognized a $1.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale of an administrative building, and in fiscal year 2017 we recognized $1.2 million of gains on the sale of land.

Fiscal year 2017 included a pre-tax restructuring gain of $1.8 million which included a gain on the sale of our Post Falls, Idaho facility and land of $2.1 million partially offset by restructuring expense of $0.3 million. See Note 3 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on restructuring.

$3.3 million in reduced income tax expense to reflect federal taxes on current year taxable income at the lower blended effective tax rate, partially offset by a discrete tax impact of $1.8 million in additional expense as a result of applying the new lower federal income tax rates to our net deferred tax assets.

Our fiscal year 2018 effective tax rate was 34.2%, as the benefits of the Tax Act were partially offset by the negative tax impact of applying the lower federal income tax rates to our net deferred tax assets. Our fiscal year 2018 effective tax rate also included a $0.6 million benefit resulting from a domestic manufacturing deduction. Our fiscal year 2017 effective tax rate was 35.4% and included the benefit of $1.5 million resulting from a domestic manufacturing deduction. The Tax Act repealed the domestic manufacturing deduction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased to $106.3 million at June 30, 2019 from $87.3 million at June 30, 2018, primarily due to $65.0 million of cash flows from operations during fiscal year 2019, which were partially offset by capital expenditures, including capitalized software, of $21.0 million in fiscal year 2019, the return of capital to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases and dividends totaling $20.6 million in fiscal year 2019, and a $4.3 million cash outflow for the David Edward acquisition, which has been adjusted for certain post-closing working capital adjustments.

Working capital at June 30, 2019 was $96.5 million compared to working capital of $85.1 million at June 30, 2018. The current ratio was 1.7 at both June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

Our short-term liquidity available, represented as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments plus the unused amount of our credit facility, totaled $134.8 million at June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, we had $1.5 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. We had no credit facility borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2019 or June 30, 2018.

Cash Flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017.



	Year Ended
	June 30
(Amounts in thousands)	2019			2018			2017
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	64,967		$	46,866		$	64,844
Net cash used for investing activities	$	(22,186	)	$	(34,764	)	$	(36,215	)
Net cash used for financing activities	$	(22,265	)	$	(21,869	)	$	(13,362	)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For fiscal years 2019 and 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $65.0 million and $46.9 million, respectively, fueled by net income of $39.3 million and $34.4 million, respectively. Changes in working capital balances provided $8.8 million of cash in fiscal year 2019. In fiscal year 2018, changes in working capital balances used $15.2 million and a reduction in deferred income tax and other deferred charges increased cash flow by $9.1 million. Cash generated from operating activities in fiscal year 2017 totaled $64.8 million, which was impacted by net income of $37.5 million, and changes in working capital balances provided $10.1 million of cash.

The $8.8 million of cash provided by changes in working capital balances in fiscal year 2019 was primarily driven by a combined $4.6 million increase in accrued annual cash incentive compensation and accrued retirement plan contributions and a $6.1 million reduction in prepaid income taxes.

The $15.2 million of cash used as a result of changes in working capital balances in fiscal year 2018 was partially driven by an increase of $6.7 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily due to an overpayment of estimated income taxes for fiscal year 2018. Statutory federal tax rates declined in the latter half of fiscal year 2018 as the Tax Act was enacted, and we accelerated certain deductions into fiscal year 2018 to take advantage of higher tax rates in fiscal year 2018 versus fiscal year 2019. Also contributing was an increase of $5.7 million in our accounts receivable balance, primarily driven by increased sales toward the end of fiscal year 2018.

The $10.1 million of cash provided by changes in working capital balances in fiscal year 2017 was primarily driven by a combined $5.7 million increase in accrued annual cash incentive compensation and accrued retirement plan contributions.

Our measure of accounts receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”), for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were 28 days and 27 days, respectively. We define DSO as the average of monthly accounts and notes receivable divided by an average day’s net sales. Our Production Days Supply on Hand (“PDSOH”) of inventory measure for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were 44 and 42 days, respectively. We define PDSOH as the average of the monthly net inventory divided by an average day’s cost of sales.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During fiscal year 2019, we invested $40.8 million in available-for-sale securities, and $42.4 million matured. During fiscal year 2018, we invested $42.5 million in available-for-sale securities, and $42.8 million matured. During fiscal year 2017, we invested $42.1 million in available-for-sale securities, and $5.9 million matured. Our short-term investments included municipal bonds, certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market, and U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. During fiscal year 2019, we had a cash outflow of $4.3 million for the David Edward acquisition, while during fiscal year 2018 we had a cash outflow of $18.2 million for the D’style acquisition. During fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, we received proceeds from the sale of assets net of selling expenses of $1.3 million, $5.8 million, and $13.2 million respectively, the majority of which related to the sale of a series of Internet protocol addresses in fiscal year 2019, the sale of our fleet of over-the-road tractors and trailers in fiscal year 2018, and the sale of our Idaho facility in fiscal year 2017, respectively. During fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, we reinvested $21.0 million, $22.3 million, and $12.7 million, respectively, into capital investments for the future. The capital investments in both fiscal year 2019 and 2018 were primarily for facility improvements, such as renovations to our corporate headquarters and showrooms, and various manufacturing equipment upgrades to increase automation in production facilities, which is expected to yield future benefits. The capital investments during fiscal year 2017 were primarily for facility improvements such as renovations to showrooms and our corporate headquarters, various manufacturing equipment, and replacements of tractors and trailers in our fleet.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

We paid $11.4 million of dividends in fiscal year 2019 compared to paying $10.1 million of dividends in fiscal year 2018 and $8.8 million of dividends in fiscal year 2017. Consistent with our historical dividend policy, our Board of Directors evaluates the appropriate dividend payment on a quarterly basis. We repurchased shares pursuant to a previously announced stock repurchase program, which drove cash outflow of $9.1 million in fiscal year 2019, $8.9 million in fiscal year 2018, and $6.7 million in fiscal year 2017.

Credit Facility

We maintain a $30.0 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 $55.0 million at our request, subject to the consent of the participating banks. At June 30, 2019, we had $1.5 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. At both June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, we had no borrowings outstanding. We expect to negotiate a new credit facility to replace this credit facility prior to its October 2019 expiration. However, changing conditions in the credit markets or unforeseen circumstances could adversely impact the replacement of this 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 (as defined in the credit agreement), determined as of the end of each of our fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, and may 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 U.S. GAAP, determined as of the end of each of our fiscal quarters for the trailing four fiscal quarters then ending, and may not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all debt covenants of the credit facility during fiscal year 2019.

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	June 30, 2019		Credit Agreement	Excess
Adjusted Leverage Ratio	(0.82	)	3.00	3.82
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio	214.42		1.10	213.32

Future Liquidity

We believe our principal sources of liquidity from available funds on hand and short-term investments, cash generated from operations, and the availability of borrowing under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund future dividends and meet our working capital and other operating needs for at least the next 12 months. During fiscal year 2020, we also anticipate cash outflow of approximately $14.6 million for accrued cash incentive compensation related to our fiscal year 2019 performance and cash outflow of approximately $5 million for restructuring. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share, which was paid in our first quarter of fiscal year 2020. We will continue to evaluate market conditions in determining future share repurchases. At June 30, 2019, 2.7 million shares remained available under the repurchase program. During fiscal year 2020, we expect to continue investments in capital expenditures, particularly for projects such as our headquarters renovation, showroom renovations, machinery and equipment upgrades and automation, as well as for 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, the impact of changes in tariffs, lack of availability of raw material components in the supply chain, 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Indicators

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) contains non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the statements of income, statements of comprehensive income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows, or statements of shareholders’ equity of the company. The non-GAAP financial measures used within this MD&A include (1) organic net sales, defined as net sales excluding the acquisition-related net sales during the periods for which there were no sales related to such acquisition in the comparable period; (2) adjusted operating income, defined as operating income excluding restructuring expenses, CEO transition costs, and market value adjustments related to our Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) liability; (3) adjusted operating income percentage, defined as adjusted operating income as a percentage of net sales; (4) adjusted net income, defined as net income excluding restructuring expenses and CEO transition costs; (5) adjusted diluted earnings per share, defined as diluted earnings per share excluding restructuring expenses and CEO transition costs; (6) adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excluding restructuring expenses and CEO transition costs; and (7) adjusted EBITDA percentage, defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Reconciliations of the reported GAAP numbers to these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the table below. Management believes it is useful for investors to understand and to be able to meaningfully trend, analyze and benchmark how our core operations performed without market value adjustments related to our SERP liability or expenses incurred in executing our transformation restructuring plan or our CEO transition. Many of our internal performance measures that management uses to make certain operating decisions exclude these expenses to enable meaningful trending of core operating metrics. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative to the GAAP measures and are presented as supplemental information.

The open orders metric is a key performance indicator representing firm orders placed by our customers which have not yet been fulfilled and are expected to be recognized as revenue during future quarters. The timing of shipments can vary, but generally open orders are expected to ship within a twelve-month period.

Return on Invested Capital is a key performance indicator calculated as: [(Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Amortization) multiplied by (1 minus Effective Tax Rate)] divided by (Total Shareholders’ Equity plus Net Debt). Net Debt is defined as current maturities of long-term debt plus long-term debt less cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

Fair Value

During fiscal year 2019, no financial instruments were affected by a lack of market liquidity. Financial assets classified as level 1 assets were valued using readily available market pricing. For commercial paper and available-for-sale securities classified as level 2 assets, the fair values were determined based on market data using evaluated pricing models and incorporating available trade, bid, and other market information. We evaluated the inputs used to value the instruments and validated the accuracy of the instrument fair values based on historical evidence. The investment in stock warrants and equity securities without readily determinable fair value of a privately-held company are classified as level 3 financial assets. The stock warrants are accounted for as a derivative instrument valued on a recurring basis considering the pricing of recent purchases or sales, if any, of the investment, as well as positive and negative qualitative evidence, while the equity securities without readily determinable fair value are accounted for as a cost-method investment which carries the securities at cost, except in the event of impairment. The contingent earn-out liability incurred in the acquisition of D’style is classified as a level 3 financial liability and is valued based on a valuation model that measures the present value of the probable cash payments based upon the forecasted operating performance of the D’style acquisition and a discount rate that captures the risk associated with the liability.

See Note 13 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2019.



	Payments Due During Fiscal Years Ending June 30
(Amounts in Millions)	Total		2020		2021-2022			2023-2024			Thereafter

Total	$	95.8	$	51.0		$	18.8		$	15.6		$	10.4


(a)	As of June 30, 2019, we had no capital lease obligations.


(b)	Refer to Note 10 - Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding long-term debt obligations. Accrued interest is also included on the Long-Term Debt Obligations line. The fiscal year 2020 amount includes less than $0.1 million of long-term debt obligations due in fiscal year 2020, which were recorded as a current liability.


(c)	The timing of payments of certain items included on the “Other Long-Term Liabilities Reflected on the Balance Sheet” line above is estimated based on the following assumptions:


•	The timing of long-term SERP payments is estimated based on an assumed retirement age of 62 with payout based on the prior distribution elections of participants. The fiscal year 2020 amount includes $3.1 million for SERP payments recorded as current liabilities.


•	The timing of severance plan payments is estimated based on the average remaining service life of employees. The fiscal year 2020 amount includes $0.6 million for employee transition payments related to the transformation restructuring plan and $0.5 million for severance payments, which were both recorded as current liabilities.


•	The timing of warranty payments is estimated based on historical data. The fiscal year 2020 amount includes $0.8 million for short-term warranty payments recorded as a current liability.


•	The timing of the earn-out liability is contingent upon D’style’s operating income for fiscal year 2019 compared to a predetermined target. The amount in the fiscal year 2020 column in the above table includes $0.4 million for earn-out payments recorded as a current liability.


(d)	Excludes $1.6 million of long-term unrecognized tax benefits and associated accrued interest and penalties along with deferred tax liabilities and miscellaneous other long-term tax liabilities which are not tied to a contractual obligation and for which we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period of future payments.


(e)	Refer to Note 9 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding operating leases and certain other long-term liabilities. Executory costs such as property taxes and maintenance are excluded from the operating lease obligations.

(f)

Purchase Obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms. The amounts listed above for purchase obligations include contractual commitments for items such as raw materials, supplies, capital expenditures, services, and software acquisitions/license commitments. Cancellable purchase obligations that we intend to fulfill are also included in the purchase obligations amount listed above through fiscal year 2024.

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 9 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the standby letters of credit and operating leases. We do not have material exposures to trading activities of non-exchange traded contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the 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 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 our Board of Directors and with our independent registered public accounting firm.

Revenue recognition - Effective at the beginning of fiscal year 2019, we adopted guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, using a full retrospective method. Under the new guidance, revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring distinct goods or providing services to customers. Our revenue consists substantially of product sales, and is reported net of sales discounts, rebates, incentives, returns, and other allowances offered to customers. We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with our customers are satisfied, which occurs when control passes to a customer to enable them to direct the use of and obtain benefit from the product. This typically occurs when a customer obtains legal title, obtains the risks and rewards of ownership, has received the goods according to the contractual shipping terms either at the shipping point or destination, and is obligated to pay for the product. Shipping and handling activities are recognized as fulfillment activities and are expensed at the time revenue is recognized. We recognize sales net of applicable sales taxes and similar revenue-based taxes.

We use judgment in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by customer rebate and incentive programs. Judgments primarily include expected sales levels to be achieved and the corresponding rebate and incentive amounts expected to be earned by dealers and salespersons.

We also use judgment in estimating a reserve for returns and allowances which is recorded at the time of the sale, based on estimated product returns and price concessions. The reserve for returns and allowances is recorded in accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the expense is recorded as a reduction of net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and impair receivable balances by recording specific allowances for bad debts based on judgment using factors such as current trends, the length of time the receivables are past due, and historical collection experience. The allowance for accounts receivable balances that are determined likely to be uncollectible are a reduction in the receivables line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the expense is recorded in selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Self-insurance reserves - We are self-insured up to certain limits for automobile 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 a result of increased medical costs and changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change and reserve levels to be adjusted accordingly. At June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, our accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $3.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

Taxes - Deferred income taxes 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. The deferred taxes 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 $1.8 million at June 30, 2019 and $1.9 million at June 30, 2018.

Goodwill - Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, we may assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill

impairment test. We compare the carrying value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit’s fair value to identify impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is written down to its fair value. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the reporting unit level. The fair value is established primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis and secondarily a market approach utilizing current industry information. The calculation of the fair value of the reporting unit considers current market conditions existing at the assessment date. During fiscal years 2019 and 2018, no goodwill impairment was recognized. At June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, goodwill totaled $11.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding New Accounting Standards.

Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk: We hold an investment portfolio of available-for-sale securities, comprised of municipal bonds, certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market, U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. As of June 30, 2019, the fair value of the investment portfolio was $33.1 million. Our investment policy dictates that municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities must be investment grade quality, and all certificates of deposit are Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured. These securities are fixed income instruments and will decline in value if market interest rates increase. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in an annual period in market interest rates from levels at June 30, 2019 would cause the fair value of these investments to decline by an immaterial amount. Further information on investments is provided in Note 15 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We also hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, consisting of $0.5 million in equity securities without readily determinable fair value and $1.5 million in stock warrants. The fair value of the investment may fluctuate due to events and changes in circumstances, but we have incurred no impairment during fiscal year 2019 or 2018.

Commodity Risk: We are exposed to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations for components used in the manufacture of our products, primarily related to wood and wood-related components, steel, aluminum, and plastics. These components are impacted by global pricing pressures and general economic conditions. The U.S. originally imposed tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum imported from several countries effective June 2018. The government expanded its list of products subject to tariffs to include furniture products, parts, and components at a 10% rate effective September 2018, increasing to a 25% rate effective June 2019. The U.S. government continues to evaluate the ongoing need for tariffs, and if further tariffs are assessed the landed cost of our products could increase materially, which would reduce our net income if we are unable to mitigate the additional cost. We are actively striving to offset increases in the cost of these materials through supplier negotiations, global sourcing initiatives, product re-engineering and parts standardization, and price increases on our products. We are also exposed to fluctuations in transportation costs, which vary based upon freight carrier capacity and fuel prices. Transportation costs are managed by optimizing logistics and supply chain planning, and increasing prices on our products.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: We have minimal foreign currency risk and held no derivative securities as of June 30, 2019 and an immaterial amount of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2018. Further information on derivative financial instruments is provided in Note 14 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Kimball International, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the preparation and integrity of the accompanying financial statements and other related information in this report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the footnotes, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include judgments and estimates, which in the opinion of management are applied appropriately. We maintain a system of internal and disclosure controls intended to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or material misuse, transactions are authorized and recorded properly, and that the accounting records may be relied upon for the preparation of the financial statements. This system is tested and evaluated regularly for adherence and effectiveness by employees who work within the internal control processes, by our staff of internal auditors, as well as by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with their annual audit.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting excluded David Edward Furniture, Inc. (“David Edward”), an acquisition completed in October 2018. We acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain specified limited liabilities of David Edward. This acquisition represented 2% of consolidated total assets and 1% of consolidated net sales of the Company as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019. Under guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their first assessment of internal control over financial reporting within one year of the date of the acquisition.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of directors who are not employees of the Company, meets regularly with management, our internal auditors, and the independent registered public accounting firm to review our financial policies and procedures, our internal control structure, the objectivity of our financial reporting, and the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm have free and direct access to the Audit Committee, and they meet periodically, without management present, to discuss appropriate matters.

Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

These consolidated financial statements are subject to an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, conducted under the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2019.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on our internal control over financial reporting which is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Kimball International, Inc.

Jasper, Indiana

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kimball International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at David Edward Furniture, Inc. (“David Edward”), an acquisition completed in October 2018. The Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain specified limited liabilities of David Edward. This acquisition represented 2% of consolidated total assets and 1% of consolidated net sales of the Company as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at David Edward.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit

preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

KIMBALL INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Prior Period Reclassifications: Our prior period financial statements were recast for the full retrospective adoption of guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Certain prior period amounts on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have also been recast to incorporate restricted cash flows and restricted cash balances, as a result of the retrospective adoption of new accounting guidance.

Operating Segments: We sell a portfolio of furniture products and services under three predominant brands: Kimball, National, and Kimball Hospitality. We consider each of the three predominant brands to be operating segments which aggregate into one reportable segment. The brands operate within six market verticals, selling to similar types of customers. Our products and services are similar in nature and utilize similar production and distribution processes. Our three brands share similar long-term economic characteristics.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures. While efforts are made to assure estimates used are reasonably accurate based on management’s knowledge of current events, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring distinct goods or providing services to customers. Our revenue consists substantially of product sales, and is reported net of sales discounts, rebates, incentives, returns, and other allowances offered to customers. We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with our customers are satisfied, which occurs when control passes to a customer to enable them to direct the use of and obtain benefit from the product. This typically occurs when a customer obtains legal title, obtains the risks and rewards of ownership, has received the goods according to the contractual shipping terms either at the shipping point or destination, and is obligated to pay for the product. Shipping and handling activities are recognized as fulfillment activities and are expensed at the time revenue is recognized. We recognize sales net of applicable sales taxes and similar revenue-based taxes. We use judgment in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by customer rebate and incentive programs. Judgments primarily include expected sales levels to be achieved and the corresponding rebate and incentive amounts expected to be earned by dealers and salespersons. We also use judgment in estimating a reserve for returns and allowances which is recorded at the time of the sale, based on estimated product returns and price concessions. The reserve for returns and allowances is recorded in Accrued Expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the expense is recorded as a reduction of Net Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and impair receivable balances by recording specific allowances for bad debts based on judgment using factors such as current trends, the length of time the receivables are past due, and historical collection experience. The allowance for accounts receivable balances that are determined likely to be uncollectible are a reduction in the Receivables line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the expense is recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank accounts, money market funds, and commercial paper. Bank accounts are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and money market funds and commercial paper are stated at fair value.

Short-Term Investments: Short-term investments consist primarily of municipal bonds, certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market, and U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. Municipal bonds include general obligation bonds and revenue bonds, some of which are pre-refunded. U.S. Treasury securities represent Treasury Bills and Notes of the U.S. government. Federal agency securities represent debt securities of a U.S. government sponsored agency, some of which are callable. Our investment policy dictates that municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities must be investment grade quality. Our secondary market certificates of deposit are classified as investment securities, being purchased in the secondary market through a broker and available to be sold in the secondary market. All certificates of deposit are FDIC insured. All investments have maturities exceeding three months and are classified as available-for-sale securities which are recorded at fair value. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in earnings when there is intent to sell or it is likely to be required to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the available-for-sale securities have incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and losses are recorded net of the tax-related effect as a component of Shareholders’ Equity.

Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable: Our 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.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost includes material, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead. Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed as incurred. The last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method was used for approximately 93% and 92% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The remaining inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and average cost method. Inventories are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand levels. Factors considered when evaluating obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value due to damage, use as showroom samples, design changes, or cessation of product lines.

Property, Equipment, and Depreciation: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. Major maintenance activities and improvements are capitalized; other maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed. Depreciation and expenses for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are included in both the Cost of Sales line and the Selling and Administrative Expense line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: We perform reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the reporting unit level. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, we may assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test which compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit’s fair value to identify impairment. Under the quantitative assessment, if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is written down to its fair value. The fair value is established primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis and secondarily a market approach utilizing current industry information. The calculation of the fair value of the reporting unit considers current market conditions existing at the assessment date. During fiscal years 2019 and 2018, no goodwill impairment was recognized.

During fiscal year 2019, we recorded $2.1 million in goodwill from the acquisition of David Edward. During fiscal year 2018, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of $8.8 million and $10.7 million, respectively, from the acquisition of D’style, Inc (“D’style”). We recorded an additional $0.2 million of goodwill during fiscal year 2019 as a result of a working capital adjustment related to the acquisition of D’style. See Note 2 - Acquisitions to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on these acquisitions.

Other Intangible Assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of capitalized software, product rights, customer relationships, trade names, and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. A summary of intangible assets subject to amortization is as follows:



	June 30, 2019						June 30, 2018
(Amounts in Thousands)	Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net Value		Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net Value
Capitalized Software	$	39,708	$	36,662	$	3,046	$	38,482	$	35,922	$	2,560
Product Rights	—		—		—		162		162		—
Customer Relationships	7,050		1,030		6,020		7,050		422		6,628
Trade Names	3,570		595		2,975		3,570		238		3,332
Non-Compete Agreements	100		33		67		100		13		87
Other Intangible Assets	$	50,428	$	38,320	$	12,108	$	49,364	$	36,757	$	12,607

During fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, amortization expense of other intangible assets was, in thousands, $1,777, $1,769, and $1,071, respectively. Amortization expense in future periods is expected to be, in thousands, $2,091, $1,843, $1,504, $1,264, and $1,108 in the five years ending June 30, 2024, and $4,298 thereafter. The estimated useful life of capitalized software ranges from 3 to 10 years. The amortization period for customer relationship intangible assets is 20 years. The estimated useful life of trade names is 10 years. The estimated useful life of non-compete agreements is 5 years.

Capitalized software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line method. During the software application development stage, capitalized costs include external consulting costs, cost of software licenses, and internal payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with a software project. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which enable the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance, training, data conversion, and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Trade names and non-compete agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Capitalized customer relationships are amortized based on estimated attrition rates of customers. We have no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives which are not subject to amortization.

Research and Development: The costs of research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were approximately, in millions, $6, $7, and $7 in fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, included in selling and administrative expenses were, in millions, $4.9, $5.8, and $4.3, in fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Insurance and Self-insurance: We are self-insured for certain employee health benefits including medical, short-term disability, and dental. Our self-insured reserves are estimated 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. We carry medical coverage for our eligible workforce not covered by self-insured plans. Insurance benefits are not provided to retired employees.

We also participate, along with other companies, in a group captive insurance company (“Captive”). The Captive insures losses related to worker's compensation, motor vehicle liability, product liability, and general liability. The Captive reinsures catastrophic losses for all participants, including Kimball International, in excess of predetermined amounts. We pay premiums to the Captive which accumulate as a prepaid deposit estimated for losses related to the above coverage. We also maintain a reserve for outstanding unpaid workers’ compensation claims, including an estimate of incurred but not reported claims.

Additionally, we purchase insurance coverage for property insurance, director and officer liability insurance, umbrella coverage, and other risks.

Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes 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. The deferred taxes 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 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 classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in our consolidated balance sheets.

We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex uncertain tax positions, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We maintain a liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions. As tax positions are effectively settled, the tax liability is adjusted accordingly. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Provision for Income Taxes line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Concentrations of Credit Risk: Certain business and credit risks are inherent in our business. We currently have notes receivable from independent dealership financing and other miscellaneous notes receivable. At June 30, 2019 and 2018, $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, were outstanding under the notes receivable. The credit risk associated with receivables is disclosed in Note 20 - Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses of Notes Receivable of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk: Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit and operating leases entered into in the normal course of business as described in Note 9 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-operating Income and Expense: Non-operating income and expense include the impact of such items as fair value adjustments on Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) investments, amortization of actuarial income, foreign currency rate movements, bank charges, investment gain or loss, and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. The gain or loss on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in selling and administrative expenses.

Foreign Currency Translation: Our foreign operations use the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are remeasured into functional currencies at end-of-period exchange rates, except for nonmonetary assets and equity, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at the weighted average exchange rate during the fiscal year, except for expenses related to nonmonetary assets, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement are reported in the Non-operating income or expense line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Hedge accounting is utilized when a derivative is expected to be highly effective upon execution and continues to be highly effective over the duration of the hedge transaction. Hedge accounting permits gains and losses on derivative instruments to be deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item, or when the derivative is determined to be ineffective. We have used derivatives primarily for forward purchases of foreign currency to manage exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to the foreign exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currency.

Stock-Based Compensation: As described in Note 12 - Stock Compensation Plans of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we maintain a stock-based compensation plan which allows for the issuance of stock unit awards, restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards, each of which may include performance-based conditions, to certain employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors. We recognize the cost resulting from share-based payment transactions using a fair-value-based method. The estimated fair value of outstanding performance shares and restricted share units is based on the stock price at the date of the grant. For performance shares, the price is reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on outstanding performance share awards. The estimated fair value of outstanding relative total shareholder return performance units (“RTSR”) is based on the grant date fair value of RTSR awards using a Monte Carlo simulation which includes estimating the movement of stock prices and the effects of volatility, interest rates, and dividends. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted disclosure and simplification amendments which update certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined pension benefit and other postretirement plans. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption permitted and should be applied retrospectively. We early adopted the guidance in our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance to improve the accounting for and to reduce the cost and complexity of share-based payments to nonemployees for goods and services. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted, but it may not be adopted earlier than our adoption of the new revenue standard. We early adopted the guidance in our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 in advance of the October 2018 retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, who will have stock compensation awards vesting after his retirement. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The guidance was adopted during our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and was applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance that requires employers that present a measure of operating income in their statement of income to include only the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in operating expenses, which impacts the presentation of our postemployment benefit plan. Employers are required to present all other components of Net periodic benefit cost separate from the service costs and disclose the line item in which the components of Net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost are included. Due to the immaterial amounts in prior periods we did not apply the rule retrospectively. The guidance was adopted during our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the scope of guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition as well as the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. This new guidance is meant to clarify the scope of the original guidance that was issued in connection with the guidance relating to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, as defined below, which addresses recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. The guidance was adopted during our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 concurrently with the adoption of the guidance on recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to include in their cash and cash equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The guidance was adopted during our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and was applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period. The guidance resulted in certain prior period amounts being reclassified to conform with the current period presentation, including the addition of restricted cash to cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance which is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The guidance revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The guidance was adopted during our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and did not 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 made the guidance effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 financial statements using either of two acceptable adoption methods: (i) full 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. In

March 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance which further clarified assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction, and impacted whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis; in April 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance that addressed identifying performance obligations and implementing licensing guidance; and in May 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance that clarified collectability, noncash consideration, and other transition issues. The amendments had the same effective date and transition requirements as the new revenue standard. We adopted the standard at the beginning of fiscal year 2019 using the full retrospective approach which required that we recast prior year comparative periods to provide comparable financial reporting for all reported fiscal years. All changes required by the new standard, including accounting policies, controls, and disclosures, have been identified and implemented as of the beginning of fiscal 2019. We applied the transition practical expedient related to remaining performance obligations for reporting periods presented before the date of initial application. See Note 4 - Revenue in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on revenue recognition.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on a customer’s accounting for implementation, set-up, and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is hosted by the vendor. Under the new guidance, customers will apply the same criteria for capitalizing implementation costs as they would for an arrangement that has a software license. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption permitted. Entities can choose to adopt the guidance prospectively to eligible costs incurred on or after the date this guidance is first applied or retrospectively. We have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The guidance modifies and removes certain disclosures related to the fair value hierarchy, and adds new disclosure requirements such as disclosing the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and disclosing the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption permitted and should be applied retrospectively except for certain disclosures. We have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance that will shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. This guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. This guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted. We have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Under the guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance is also intended to reduce the complexity by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. In May 2019, the FASB amended the new standard to allow entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments that were previously recorded at amortized cost. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption in our fiscal year 2020 permitted. We have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that revises the accounting for leases. The guidance is intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. The guidance will also require additional disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In January 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance for land easements which permits entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to determine if they contain a lease. New land easement arrangements, or modifications to existing arrangements, after the adoption of the lease standard will be evaluated to determine if they meet the definition of a lease. In July 2018, the FASB amended the new standard to clarify certain aspects of the guidance, and they also issued another new standard in July 2018 that allows the option to apply the transition provisions at the adoption date instead of at the earliest comparative period in the consolidated financial statements. In March 2019, the FASB issued clarifying guidance regarding interim transition disclosures. The lease guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2020. We have assessed our portfolio of leases and compiled a central repository of active leases. We are also evaluating key policy elections under the standard which we will use to develop an internal policy to address the new standard requirements. While we continue to assess the impact on our accounting policies, internal control processes, and related disclosures required under the new guidance, we will record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a lease term of greater than twelve months. Upon implementation, we expect to record lease liabilities of approximately $25 million. These conclusions could change as we continue to evaluate the new standard or if our lease portfolio changes. We anticipate electing certain of the available practical expedients, including the transition option, upon adoption on July 1, 2019.

Note 2 Acquisitions

David Edward Furniture, Inc. (“David Edward”)

On October 26, 2018, we acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain specified limited liabilities of David Edward headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. David Edward is a premier designer and manufacturer of contract furniture, sold in the healthcare, corporate, education, and premium hospitality markets. David Edward sells primarily in the North American markets. David Edward’s products are generally specified by architects and designers, represented through a network of independent representatives, and sold through authorized furniture dealerships. The David Edward product portfolio consists of classic and contemporary designs, focused primarily in the seating, tables, and ancillary furniture categories. In conjunction with the asset acquisition, we leased two existing David Edward production facilities in Baltimore, Maryland and Red Lion, Pennsylvania. The acquisition purchase price totaled $4.3 million. The purchase price has been adjusted for certain post-closing working capital adjustments. The purchase price allocation is provisional pending final valuations and purchase accounting adjustments, which were not final as of June 30, 2019. We utilized management estimates to assist in the valuation process.

A summary of the preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:



Purchase Price Allocation - David Edward
(Amounts in Thousands)
Assets:
Receivables	$	542
Inventories	2,798
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	254
Net property and equipment	934
Goodwill	2,111
	$	6,639
Liabilities:
Accounts payable	$	1,326
Customer deposits	878
Accrued expenses	147
	$	2,351
	$	4,288

The operating results of this acquisition are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on October 26, 2018. For the year ended June 30, 2019, net sales and net loss related to David Edward were $9.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Direct costs of the acquisition for the year ended June 30, 2019, of approximately $0.5 million, were expensed as incurred and were included on the Selling and Administrative Expenses line of our Consolidated Statements of Income. Pro forma results of operations for the David Edward acquisition have not been presented as they were not significant to the our results of operations.

D’style

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we acquired certain assets of D’style, Inc. (“D’style”), headquartered in Chula Vista, California. This acquisition expanded our reach into hospitality public space areas and added an attractive product portfolio of solutions for the residential market through the acquired Allan Copley Designs brand. These offerings enable us to take advantage of the trend where hospitality, residential and commercial designs are merging. As part of this acquisition, we also acquired all of the capital stock of Diseños de Estilo S.A. de C.V. headquartered in Tijuana, Mexico, another member of the D’style group which manufactures exclusively for D’style, strengthening our North American manufacturing footprint and serving as a distribution channel to the Mexico and Latin America hospitality markets. The cash paid for the acquisition totaled $18.2 million. An earn-out of up to $2.2 million was contingent based upon fiscal year 2018 and 2019 D’style, Inc. operating income compared to a predetermined target for each fiscal year. An earn-out of $0.4 million was paid based on fiscal year 2018 D’style operating income, and a final earn-out payment of $0.4 million is accrued and will be paid based on fiscal year 2019 D’style operating income.

A summary of the purchase price allocation is as follows:



Purchase Price Allocation - D’style
(Amounts in Thousands)
Assets:
Receivables	$	1,242
Inventories	1,455

As of the acquisition date the fair value of the earn-out was $1.7 million. At June 30, 2018, the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability was adjusted to $1.1 million, resulting in a $0.6 million pre-tax gain, recognized as a $0.8 million pre-tax gain included in Selling and Administrative Expenses, offset in part by $0.2 million of Interest Expense attributable to an adjustment of the contingent earn-out liability. At June 30, 2019, the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability was adjusted to $0.4 million due to a payment of $0.4 million and an adjustment of $0.3 million of pre-tax income within Selling and Administrative Expenses which was partially offset by Interest Expense.

The operating results of this acquisition are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on November 6, 2017. For the year ended June 30, 2019, net sales and net income related to D’style were $20.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2018, net sales and net income related to D’style were $13.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Direct costs of the acquisition for the year ended June 30, 2018, of approximately $0.8 million, were expensed as incurred and were included on the Selling and Administrative Expenses line of our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Pro forma results of operations for the D’style acquisition have not been presented as they were not significant to the our results of operations.

Goodwill

Goodwill resulting from both the David Edward and D’style acquisitions is primarily attributable to the anticipated revenue and supply chain synergies expected from the operations of the combined companies. For tax purposes, the goodwill is tax deductible over 15 years, except for an immaterial portion of the D’style acquisition which is not deductible for tax purposes. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on goodwill.

Note 3 Restructuring

During fiscal year 2019, we recognized $0.9 million of pre-tax restructuring expense. We had no restructuring activity in fiscal year 2018 and recognized a pre-tax restructuring gain of $1.8 million in fiscal year 2017 which included a gain on the sale of the Post Falls facility.

We utilized available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of impaired fixed assets. Restructuring is included in the Restructuring (Gain) Expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Transformation Restructuring Plan:


•	Our overall manufacturing facility footprint is being reviewed to reduce excess capacity and gain efficiencies. We plan to exit a leased seating manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia in the second half of fiscal year 2020 and are evaluating our production capabilities and capacity across our organization to identify additional opportunities.


•	The creation of center-led functions for finance, human resources, information technology and legal functions is expected to result in the standardization of processes and the elimination of duplication. In addition, we are centralizing our supply chain efforts to maximize supplier value and plan to drive more efficient practices and operations within our logistics function.


•	Kimball brand selling resources are being reallocated to higher-growth markets. We also plan to exit four leased furniture showrooms across our brands during fiscal year 2020.

The efforts are expected to generate annualized pre-tax savings of approximately $10.0 million when the transformation restructuring plan is fully implemented. We estimate that pre-tax restructuring charges incurred through the end of fiscal year 2020 will be approximately $8.0 million to $9.0 million. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $3.5 million to $3.8 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $2.0 million to $2.5 million for facility exit and other costs, and $2.5 million to $2.7 million for lease asset impairment. Approximately 65% of the total cost estimate is expected to be cash expense.

A summary of the charges recorded in connection with the fiscal year 2019 Transformation Restructuring Plan is as follows:



	Year Ended
(Amounts in Thousands)	June 30, 2019
Cash-related restructuring charges:
Severance and other employee related costs	$	663
Other cash charges	203
Total cash-related restructuring charges	$	866
Non-cash charges:
Transition stock compensation	71
Total non-cash charges	$	71
Total charges	$	937

A summary of the current period activity in accrued restructuring related to the fiscal year 2019 Transformation Restructuring Plan is as follows:

Capacity Utilization Restructuring Plan:

In November 2014, we announced a capacity utilization restructuring plan which included 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 improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and reduction of transportation costs generated pre-tax annual savings of approximately $5 million beginning in our fiscal year 2017. In addition, during fiscal year 2017, we sold our Post Falls, Idaho facility and land which was classified as held for sale. Therefore, fiscal year 2017 restructuring includes a pre-tax gain of $2.1 million as the $12.0 million selling price net of selling costs exceeded the book value of the facility and land.

The restructuring plan is complete with pre-tax restructuring totaling $10.8 million. Excluding the pre-tax gain from the sale of the Idaho facility of $2.1 million, the restructuring expense consisted of $4.9 million of transition, training, and other employee costs, $6.9 million of plant closure and other exit costs, and $1.1 million of non-cash asset impairment. Approximately 91% of the total restructuring expense was cash expense.

Note 4 Revenue

At the beginning of fiscal year 2019, we adopted new accounting guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers using the full retrospective approach and adjusted fiscal years 2018 and 2017 to provide comparable financial reporting for all reported fiscal years. The primary impact of the new revenue standard was a reclassification of certain items on the statements of income. For contracts involving products that are sold directly to end customers, fees paid to dealer agents for facilitating the sale and performing certain services are recognized as either cost of sales or selling expense rather than being netted against revenue. In addition, any commissions or fees paid to third-party purchasing organizations are recognized as a selling expense rather than being netted against revenue. The result of these changes was increases in net sales, cost of sales, and selling expenses. On a net basis these changes had no impact to operating income dollars but did reduce operating income as a percent of net sales. The new standard also required several less significant changes including classifying the reserve for returns and allowance as a liability rather than a contra-receivable, recognizing a recovery asset for potential product returns, and capitalizing costs to obtain sales contracts. There was no cumulative effect of adopting the standard at the date of initial application in retained earnings.

The following tables present the effects of the adoption of the new standard on prior period financial statements:

Performance Obligations

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring distinct goods or providing services to customers. Our revenue consists substantially of product sales, and is reported net of sales discounts, rebates, incentives, returns, and other allowances offered to customers. We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with our customers are satisfied, which occurs when control passes to a customer to enable them to direct the use of and obtain benefit from a product. This typically occurs when a customer obtains legal title, obtains the risks and rewards of ownership, has received the goods according to the contractual shipping terms either at the shipping point or destination, and is obligated to pay for the product. Customary terms require payment within 30 days, and for certain customers, deposits may be required in advance of shipment.

We sell products both to independent dealers and directly to end customers. Sales to independent dealers typically include products only, as the independent dealer provides additional value-added services to end customers. Direct sales to end customers include products and may include related services such as installation and design services. These services are distinct from the delivered products within the context of the contract, and therefore revenue is recognized for products, installation, and design on a discrete basis. The performance of services may be outsourced to independent dealers or other third parties, but we typically retain the primary responsibility for performance of the services when selling directly to end customers. For services, revenue is recognized when the service is performed and we have an enforceable right to payment. Service revenue does not represent a significant portion of our total sales.

performance obligation. We estimate the costs that may be incurred under warranties and record a liability at the time product revenue is recognized. See Note 9 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on warranty obligations.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table provides information about revenue by vertical market:



	Year Ended
	June 30
(Amounts in Millions)	2019		2018		2017
Commercial	$	226.1	$	205.9	$	203.2
Education	92.1		86.3		81.4
Finance	69.8		67.6		69.3
Government	74.7		89.5		87.1
Healthcare	110.4		88.6		98.2
Hospitality	195.0		166.7		153.8
Total Net Sales	$	768.1	$	704.6	$	693.0

We report revenue under a single aggregated reportable segment consisting of three operating segments which have similar products and services in nature, utilize similar production and distribution processes, and share similar long-term economic characteristics.

Contract Balances

Receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the amount of consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the goods or services sold to our customers, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Receivables are recorded when the right to consideration from the customer becomes unconditional, which is generally upon billing or upon satisfaction of a performance obligation, whichever is earlier. For the years ended June 30, 2019, June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017, impairment losses on doubtful accounts receivable were $0.5 million, $0.0 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.

We also receive deposits from certain customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in the recognition of a contract liability reported as Customer Deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the customer deposits during the year ended June 30, 2019 are as follows:



(Amounts in Millions)	Customer Deposits
Balance as of June 30, 2018	$	21.3
Increases due to deposits received, net of other adjustments	116.6
Revenue recognized	(113.3		)
Balance as of June 30, 2019	$	24.6

Customer deposits are typically utilized within a year of the receipt of the deposit. The amount of revenue recognized during the year ended June 30, 2019 that was included in the June 30, 2018 customer deposit balance was $20.9 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the year ended June 30, 2018 that was included in the June 30, 2017 customer deposit balance was $20.4 million.

Additionally, funds paid to certain independent dealers in exchange for their multi-year commitment to market and sell our products represent costs of obtaining contracts. These incremental costs of obtaining contracts are capitalized to the extent we expect to recover them in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, with $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, reported in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, reported in Other Assets. The capitalized costs are amortized over the term of the contract. Amortization expense recognized in Selling and Administrative Expenses was $0.4 million, $0.3 million, and $0.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Significant Judgments

We use significant judgment in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by customer rebate and incentive programs. Judgments primarily include an estimate of the most likely sales levels to be achieved and the corresponding rebate and incentive amounts expected to be earned by dealers and salespersons. In the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018, and 2017, we had an immaterial amount of adjustments to estimates for cumulative growth rebates and incentives that related to the preceding fiscal years. We also use judgment in estimating a reserve for returns and allowances recorded at the time of the sale, resulting in a reduction of revenue, based on estimated product returns and price concessions.

Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients Elected

For shipping and handling activities, we are applying an accounting policy election which allows an entity to account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities rather than a promised good or service when the activities are performed, even if those activities are performed after the control of the good has been transferred to the customer. Therefore, we expense shipping and handling costs at the time revenue is recognized. We classify shipping and handling expenses in Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

We are also applying an accounting policy election which allows an entity to exclude from revenue any amounts collected from customers on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes and other similar taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities. Therefore, we present revenue net of sales taxes and similar revenue-based taxes.

For incremental costs of obtaining a contract, we elected a practical expedient which permits an entity to recognize incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period is less than one year. This election had an immaterial effect on our consolidated financial statements.

For significant financing components, we elected a practical expedient which allows an entity to recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for the time value of money if the contract has a duration of one year or less, or if the reason the contract extended beyond one year is because the timing of delivery of the product is at the customer’s discretion. As our contracts typically are less than one year in length and do not have significant financing components, we have not presented revenue on a present value basis.

Note 5 Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the assumed issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive securities.

Note 6 Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act reduced federal corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018 and changed numerous other provisions. Because Kimball International has a June 30 fiscal year-end, a lower corporate federal income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 28.1% for fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 and 21% for fiscal year 2019.

The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates we have utilized to calculate the transition impacts.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Income tax benefits associated with net operating losses of, in thousands, $1,740 expire from fiscal year 2020 to 2036. Income tax benefits associated with tax credit carryforwards of, in thousands, $2,463, expire from fiscal year 2023 to 2027. Valuation allowances were provided as of June 30, 2019 for deferred tax assets relating to state net operating losses of, in thousands, $407, and for foreign tax credits of, in thousands, $462, that we currently believe are more likely than not to remain unrealized in the future. In all periods presented, the change in the valuation allowance is reported as a component of income tax expense.

The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, were as follows:



(Amounts in Thousands)	2019			2018
Deferred Tax Assets:

We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Provision for Income Taxes line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amounts accrued for interest and penalties were as follows:



	As of June 30
(Amounts in Thousands)	2019		2018		2017
Accrued Interest and Penalties:
Interest	$	90	$	70	$	84
Penalties	$	101	$	98	$	102

Interest and penalties income recognized for fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017 were, in thousands, $23, $11, and $23, respectively.

Kimball International, or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to any significant U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2016, and to various state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015. We do not expect the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.

We consider the earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside the United States on the basis of estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs. No provision was made for

income taxes that may result from future remittances of the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are determined to be indefinitely reinvested, which was $1.3 million on June 30, 2019. Based on the Tax Act, future remittances of these undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are not subject to U.S. income tax or foreign withholding taxes in the foreign country where the foreign subsidiaries operate.

Note 7 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for approximately 93% and 92% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The remaining inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and average cost method.

Had the FIFO method been used for all inventories, income would have been $1.1 million higher in fiscal year 2019, $1.1 million higher in fiscal year 2018, and $0.4 million higher in fiscal year 2017. Certain inventory quantity reductions caused liquidations of LIFO inventory values, which increased income by an immaterial amount in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Inventory components at June 30 were as follows:



(Amounts in Thousands)	2019			2018
Finished products	$	26,304		$	23,756
Work-in-process	2,455			1,378
Raw materials	34,335			29,158
Total FIFO inventory	$	63,094		$	54,292
LIFO reserve, net	(16,282		)	(14,783		)
Total inventory	$	46,812		$	39,509

Note 8 Property and Equipment

Major classes of property and equipment at June 30 consist of the following:



(Amounts in Thousands)	2019			2018
Land	$	2,219		$	2,219
Buildings and improvements	104,601			105,372
Machinery and equipment	157,575			152,653

Total	$	276,536		$	264,546
Less: Accumulated depreciation	(185,865		)	(180,059		)
Property and equipment, net	$	90,671		$	84,487

The useful lives used in computing depreciation are based on estimated service lives for classes of property, as follows:



	Years
Buildings and improvements	5 to 40
Machinery and equipment	2 to 20
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of Useful Life or Term of Lease

Depreciation of property and equipment, including asset write-downs, totaled, in millions, $14.8 for fiscal year 2019, $13.7 for fiscal year 2018, and $14.7 for fiscal year 2017.

At both June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, excess land located in Jasper, Indiana totaling $0.3 million was classified as held for sale. At June 30, 2017, our fleet of over-the-road tractors and trailers and a small parcel of land located in Jasper, Indiana totaling $4.2 million were classified as held for sale. During fiscal year 2018, we sold all of our over-the-road tractors and trailers and the small parcel of land and recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.4 million as the $4.8 million selling price exceeded the book value net of selling costs.

During fiscal year 2017, we sold our Post Falls, Idaho facility and land and recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.1 million as the $12.0 million selling price exceeded the book value of the facility and land net of selling costs. The gain was recorded on the

Restructuring (Gain) Expense line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. We also sold excess land for proceeds of $1.4 million and recognized pre-tax gains of $1.2 million which is recorded on the Selling and Administrative Expenses line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, during fiscal year 2017 we recognized impairment of $0.2 million as the carrying value of our fleet of over-the-road tractors and trailers exceeded the market value less selling costs.

During fiscal year 2017, we also sold a facility in Indiana which housed an education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom for proceeds of $3.8 million. In order to allow for transition of those functions to our primary campus also located in Jasper, Indiana, we leased back a portion of the facility until December 31, 2017 at a favorable rate. The below-market terms of the leaseback were considered a form of continuing involvement that precluded sale treatment therefore we deferred the recognition of the sale until fiscal year 2018 when we recorded the pre-tax gain of $1.7 million on the sale.

Note 9 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Leases:

Operating leases for certain offices, showrooms, manufacturing facilities, land, and equipment, which expire from fiscal year 2020 to 2027, contain provisions under which minimum annual lease payments are, in millions, $4.6, $4.2, $4.1, $3.6, and $2.5 for the five years ending June 30, 2024, respectively, and aggregate $3.8 million from fiscal year 2025 to the expiration of the leases in fiscal year 2027. We are obligated under certain real estate leases to maintain the properties and pay real estate taxes. Certain leases include renewal options and escalation clauses. Total rental expense was, in millions, $6.4, $5.8, and $6.0 in fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, including certain leases requiring contingent lease payments based primarily on warehouse space utilized, which was expense of, in millions, $1.2, $1.2, and $1.5 in fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. As part of the transformation restructuring plan, during fiscal year 2020 we plan to exit the leased manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia and four leased furniture showrooms.

We had no capital leases in fiscal years 2019 or 2018.

During the latter portion of our fiscal year 2017, we sold a facility in Indiana which housed the education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom for proceeds of $3.8 million. We were leasing a portion of the facility back to facilitate the short-term transition of those functions to other existing Indiana locations. The sale of the facility did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting during fiscal year 2017, and thus the $1.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale was not recognized in selling and administrative expenses until fiscal year 2018.

Guarantees:

Standby letters of credit were issued to lessors and insurance institutions and can only be drawn upon in the event of our failure to pay our obligations to a beneficiary. We had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $1.5 million as of June 30, 2019 and $1.4 million as of June 30, 2018.

We are periodically required to provide performance bonds in order to conduct business with certain customers. The bonds are required to provide assurances to customers that the products and services they have purchased will be installed and/or provided properly and without damage to their facilities. We are ultimately liable for claims that may occur against the performance bonds. We had no financial exposure from performance bonds as of June 30, 2019 and we had a maximum financial exposure totaling $0.5 million as of June 30, 2018.

We are not aware of circumstances that would require us to perform under 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 June 30, 2019 and 2018 with respect to the standby letters of credit or performance bonds. We also enter into commercial letters of credit to facilitate payments to vendors and from customers.

Product Warranties:

We provide an assurance-type warranty that guarantees our product complies with agreed-upon specifications. This warranty is not sold separately and does not convey any additional services to the customer. 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 periodically based on changes in historical cost trends and in certain cases where specific warranty issues become known.

Changes in the product warranty accrual during fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017 were as follows:



(Amounts in Thousands)	2019			2018			2017
Product Warranty Liability at the beginning of the year	$	2,294		$	1,992		$	2,351
Additions to warranty accrual (including changes in estimates)	886			1,307			562
Settlements made (in cash or in kind)	(942		)	(1,005		)	(921		)
Product Warranty Liability at the end of the year	$	2,238		$	2,294		$	1,992

Note 10 Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities

Long-term debt, less current maturities as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, was, in thousands, $136 and $161, respectively, and current maturities of long-term debt were, in thousands, $25 and $23, respectively. Long-term debt consists of a long-term note payable, which has an interest rate of 9.25% and matures in 2025. Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are, in thousands, $25, $27, $30, $33, and $36, respectively, and aggregate $10 thereafter.

We maintain a $30 million credit facility with a maturity date of October 31, 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. We expect to negotiate a new credit facility to replace the current $30 million credit facility prior to its October 2019 expiration. At June 30, 2019 and 2018, we had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. At June 30, 2019, we had $1.5 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility to $28.5 million.

The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement may consist of, at our election, advances in U.S. dollars or advances in any other currency that is agreed to by the lenders. The proceeds of the revolving loans are to be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. A portion of the credit facility, not to exceed $10 million of the principal amount, will be available for the issuance of letters of credit. The commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the credit facility which was immaterial to our operating results for fiscal years 2019 and 2018. The commitment fee on the unused portion of principal amount of the credit facility is payable at a rate that ranges from 20.0 to 25.0 basis points per annum as determined by our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.

The interest rate is dependent on the type of borrowings and will be one of the following two options:

•

The adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“Adjusted LIBO Rate” as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect two business days prior to the advance (adjusted upwards to reflect bank reserve costs) for such interest period, plus the Eurocurrency Loans margin which can range from 125.0 to 175.0 basis points based on our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA; or


•	The Alternate Base Rate, which is defined as the highest of the fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of


a.	JP Morgan’s prime rate;


b.	1% per annum above the Adjusted LIBO rate; or


c.	0.5% per annum above the Federal funds rate;

plus the ABR Loans spread which can range from 25.0 to 75.0 basis points based on our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.

Our financial covenants under the Credit Agreement require:


•	An adjusted leverage ratio of (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, and

•

A fixed charge coverage ratio of (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.

Interest expense incurred and paid on borrowings were, in thousands, $87, $70, and $37, in fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Note 11 Employee Benefit Plans

Retirement Plans:

We have a trusteed defined contribution retirement plan in effect for substantially all domestic employees meeting the eligibility requirements. Employer contributions to the trusteed plan have a five-year vesting schedule and are held for the sole benefit of participants. We also maintain a supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) for executive employees which enables them to defer cash compensation on a pre-tax basis in excess of IRS limitations. The SERP is structured as a rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy.

The discretionary employer contribution for domestic employees is determined annually by the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. Total expense related to employer contributions to the domestic retirement plans was, in millions, $7.3, $5.9, and $6.4 for fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Employees of certain foreign subsidiaries are covered by local pension or retirement plans. The expense related to employer contributions to these foreign plans for fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017 was not material.

Severance Plans:

Our domestic employees participate in severance plans which provide severance benefits to eligible employees meeting the plans’ qualifications, primarily for involuntary termination without cause.

There are no statutory requirements for us to contribute to the plans, nor do employees contribute to the plans. The plans hold no assets. Benefits are paid using available cash on hand when eligible employees meet plan qualifications for payment. Benefits are based upon an employee’s years of service and accumulate up to certain limits specified in the plans and include both salary and an allowance for medical benefits. The components and changes in the Benefit Obligation, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), and Net Periodic Benefit Cost are as follows:



	June 30
(Amounts in Thousands)	2019			2018
Changes and Components of Benefit Obligation:
Benefit obligation at beginning of year	$	2,719		$	3,083
Service cost	506			521
Interest cost	89			85
Actuarial (gain) loss for the period	(484		)	(895		)
Benefits paid	(46		)	(75		)
Benefit obligation at end of year	$	2,784		$	2,719
Balance in current liabilities	$	506		$	494
Balance in noncurrent liabilities	2,278			2,225
Total benefit obligation recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets	$	2,784		$	2,719



	June 30
(Amounts in Thousands)	2019		2018
Changes and Components in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (before tax):
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) at beginning of year	$	2,494	$	1,859
Net change in unrecognized actuarial gain (loss)	80		635
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) at end of year	$	2,574	$	2,494



(Amounts in Thousands)	Year Ended June 30
Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost (before tax):	2019			2018			2017
Service cost	$	506		$	521		$	482
Interest cost	89			85			65
Amortization of actuarial (gain) loss	(404		)	(260		)	(473		)
Net periodic benefit cost — Total cost	$	191		$	346		$	74

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, such as the restructuring employee transition pay described in Note 3 - Restructuring, are not estimable using actuarial methods and are therefore excluded from the preceding tables.

During fiscal year 2019, we reported service cost in the Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expenses lines of the Consolidated Statement of Income, interest cost in the Interest Expense line, and amortization of actuarial income in the Non-operating income. During fiscal year 2018 and 2017, all costs were recognized in the Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expenses lines and were not segregated between the operating and non-operating sections of the Consolidated Statement of Income because the impact was immaterial.

The Plan recognized actuarial gains during fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017 as a result of lower benefit payments than were assumed in the benefit obligation. The actuarial gain is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plans.

Assumptions used to determine fiscal year end benefit obligations are as follows:



	2019	2018
Discount Rate	2.8%	3.4%
Rate of Compensation Increase	3.0%	3.0%

Weighted average assumptions used to determine fiscal year net periodic benefit costs are as follows:



	2019	2018	2017
Discount Rate	3.2%	3.0%	2.4%
Rate of Compensation Increase	3.0%	3.0%	3.0%

Note 12 Stock Compensation Plans

On October 31, 2017, the shareholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (“the 2017 Plan”) which allows for the issuance of stock awards, restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards, each of which may include performance-based conditions, to certain employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors. The 2017 Plan authorizes the issuance of 2.1 million shares of our Class B Common Stock including unused shares from the former plan.

Stock-based compensation expense was $6.6 million, $4.2 million, and $6.3 million in fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The total income tax benefit for stock compensation arrangements was $2.0 million, $2.1 million, and $2.9 million in fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Included in the income tax benefit for fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was a $0.3 million, $0.7 million, and $0.5 million reduction in taxes for excess tax benefits from the vesting of stock awards. We generally use treasury shares for issuance of shares.

Performance Shares:

We award performance shares to officers and other key employees. Under these awards, a number of shares will be issued to each participant based upon the attainment of the applicable performance conditions as applied to a total potential share award made and approved by the Compensation and Governance Committee. Currently outstanding are long-term performance share awards with a contractual life of five years. We also award annual performance share awards with a contractual life of one year. The performance conditions for both types of performance share awards are based on annual performance measurement periods. Annual performance shares vest at the end of the fiscal year. Long-term performance shares vest when issued as Common Stock shortly after the end of the fiscal year in which each performance measurement period is complete. The long-term performance share award is being phased out with the final issuance of shares in July 2019. If a participant is not employed on the date long-term performance shares are issued or the date annual performance shares are vested, the

performance share award is forfeited, except in the case of death, retirement, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in our employment policy. To the extent performance conditions are not fully attained, performance shares are forfeited.

A summary of performance share activity during fiscal year 2019 is presented below:



	Number of Shares (1)		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Performance Shares outstanding at July 1, 2018	104,223		$16.52
Granted	116,598		$16.13
Vested	(143,543	)	$16.33
Forfeited	(49,555	)	$16.13
Performance Shares outstanding at June 30, 2019	27,723		$16.12

(1) The shares granted include the maximum number of shares that may vest under performance share awards; however, the actual number of shares which vest is determined based on the satisfaction of performance conditions, and therefore may be significantly lower. The shares vested include the earned number of shares to be issued based on performance conditions, while shares forfeited include shares that will not be issued as a result of not fully attaining the maximum performance conditions.

As of June 30, 2019, there was less than $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to performance shares, based on the latest estimated attainment of performance conditions. That cost is expected to be recognized in July 2019, with a weighted average vesting period of one month. The fair value of performance shares is based on the closing stock price at the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on outstanding performance share awards. The weighted average grant date fair value was $16.13, $16.62, and $11.26 for performance share awards granted in fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. During fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, 143,543; 401,833; and 294,086 performance shares vested at a fair value of $2.3 million, $4.8 million, and $3.6 million. Fiscal year 2018 vesting was higher primarily because of a change in vesting timing from July to June 30.

The performance shares vested represent the total number of shares vested prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

Relative Total Shareholder Return Performance Units:

We award relative total shareholder return performance units (“RTSR”) to key officers. Under these awards, a participant 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. RTSRs are vested at the end of the performance period and are issued as common shares shortly after the performance measurement period is complete. The contractual life of the RTSRs is generally three years. If a participant is not employed on the date shares are vested, the RTSR award is forfeited, except in the case of death, retirement, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in our employment policy. To the extent performance conditions are not fully attained, RTSRs are forfeited.

A summary of RTSR activity during fiscal year 2019 is presented below:



	Number of Shares (1)		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
RTSRs outstanding at July 1, 2018	130,640		$18.94
Granted	140,914		$21.43
Vested	(67,130	)	$17.23
Forfeited	(29,512	)	$20.18
RTSRs outstanding at June 30, 2019	174,912		$21.31

(1) The shares granted include the maximum number of shares that may vest under RTSR awards; however, the actual number of shares which vest is determined based on the satisfaction of performance conditions, and therefore may be significantly lower. The shares vested include the earned number of shares to be issued based on performance conditions, while shares forfeited include shares that will not be issued as a result of not fully attaining the maximum performance conditions.

As of June 30, 2019, there was approximately $1.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RTSRs. That cost is expected to be recognized over the vesting periods ending June 2020 through June 2021, with a weighted average vesting period of approximately one year, five months. The grant date fair value of RTSR 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 weighted average grant date fair value was $21.43, $20.65, and $13.92 for RTSR awards granted in fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. During fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, 67,130, 37,535, and 57,375, RTSRs vested at a fair value of $1.2 million, $0.6 million, and $1.0 million. The RTSR awards vested represent the total number of shares vested prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

On May 7, 2018, Robert F. Schneider informed the Board of Directors of Kimball International of his decision to retire as our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chairman of the Board. With the announcement of his plan to retire, the Company and Mr. Schneider entered into an Amendment to Executive’s Terms of Employment (“Amendment”) which modified the terms of his RTSR awards so that a prorated portion of awards vest based on the portion of the applicable performance period that Mr. Schneider worked prior to his retirement. The Amendment was determined to be a Type III “Improbable to Probable” modification, as the awards were no longer probable of vesting prior to the Amendment. Mr. Schneider retired on October 31, 2018 and upon the June 30, 2019 vesting date received 39,112 shares at a vested fair value of $0.7 million. He has outstanding maximum shares of 14,668 at a fair value of $0.3 million vesting June 30, 2020.

Restricted Share Units:

Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) were granted to officers and key employees. Upon vesting, the outstanding number of RSUs and the value of dividends accumulated over the vesting period are converted to shares of common stock. The contractual life of the RSUs is generally three years, however certain awards have shorter or longer contractual lives in order to transition from other types of compensation or to be used as a long-term retention tool. If the employment of a holder of an RSU terminates before the RSU has vested for any reason other than death, retirement, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in our employment policy, the RSU and accumulated dividends will be forfeited.

A summary of RSU activity during fiscal year 2019 is presented below:



	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
RSUs outstanding at July 1, 2018	201,826		$15.10
Granted	318,822		$16.38
Vested	(149,323	)	$14.61
Forfeited	(47,298	)	$15.43
RSUs outstanding at June 30, 2019	324,027		$16.54

As of June 30, 2019, there was approximately $3.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSU compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over vesting periods ending June 2020 through June 2021, with a weighted average vesting period of one year, seven months. The fair value of RSU awards is based on the stock price at the date of award. The weighted average grant date fair value was $16.38, $17.14, and $11.85 for RSU awards granted in fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. During fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, 149,323, 79,315, and 86,116 RSUs vested at a fair value of $2.2 million, $1.0 million, and $0.8 million. The fair value is equal to the closing price of shares of our Common Stock on the date of the grant. The RSU awards vested represent the total number of shares vested prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

Mr. Schneider’s Amendment, in conjunction with his retirement, modified the terms of his existing RSU awards so that a prorated portion of awards vest based on the portion of the applicable period that Mr. Schneider works prior to his retirement. The Amendment was determined to be a Type III “Improbable to Probable” modification, as the awards were no longer probable of vesting prior to the Amendment. Mr. Schneider retired on October 31, 2018 and received 26,397 shares at a vested fair value of $0.4 million.

Unrestricted Share Grants:

Unrestricted shares may be granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors as consideration for service to Kimball International. Unrestricted share grants do not have vesting periods, holding periods, restrictions on sale, or other restrictions. The fair value of unrestricted shares is based on the stock price at the date of the award. During fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, we granted a total of 42,888, 38,696, and 48,812 unrestricted shares of common stock at an

average grant date fair value of $15.42, $18.31, and $14.12 for a total fair value, in thousands, of $661, $709, and $689. These shares are the total number of shares granted, prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Unrestricted shares were awarded to key employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors as compensation for director’s fees and as a result of directors’ elections to receive unrestricted shares in lieu of cash payment. Director’s fees are expensed over the period that directors earn the compensation.

Note 13 Fair Value

We categorize 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 fiscal years 2019 and 2018.

We hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, consisting of $0.5 million in equity securities without readily determinable fair value and $1.5 million in stock warrants. The investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value is classified as a level 3 financial asset, as explained in the Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value section below. The investment in stock warrants is also classified as a level 3 financial asset and is accounted for as a derivative instrument valued on a recurring basis, as explained in the Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value section below. See Note 15 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value, and Note 14 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in stock warrants. No purchases or sales of level 3 assets occurred during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

In connection with the acquisition of D’style, we valued long-lived and intangible assets at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value estimates for intangible assets were based upon assumptions related to the future cash flows and discount rates utilizing currently available information, and in some cases, valuation results from independent valuation specialists (Level 3 determination of fair value). Subsequent to the acquisition, we may determine the fair value of our long-lived and intangible assets on a non-recurring basis in connection with our periodic evaluations of such assets for potential impairment and record impairment charges when such fair value estimates are lower than the carrying values of the assets. As part of the acquisition, contingent earn-out payments up to $2.2 million may be paid based upon fiscal year 2018 and 2019 D’style, Inc. operating income compared to a predetermined target for each fiscal year. As of the November 6, 2017 acquisition date, the fair value of the earn-out liability was $1.7 million. The liability is carried at fair value and is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability was adjusted to $1.1 million, resulting in a $0.6 million pre-tax gain, recognized as $0.8 million pre-tax gain included in Selling and Administrative Expenses, offset in part by $0.2 million of Interest Expense.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability was adjusted to $0.4 million due to a payment of $0.4 million relating to fiscal year 2018 and an adjustment of $0.3 million of pre-tax income within Selling and Administrative Expenses which was partially offset by Interest Expense. The adjustment was attributable to fiscal year 2019 D’style operating income compared to a predetermined target for the fiscal year.

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: Money market funds	1	Market - Quoted market prices.
Cash Equivalents: Commercial paper	2	Market - Based on market data which use evaluated pricing models and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information.
Available-for-sale securities: Secondary market certificates of deposit	2	Market - Based on market data which use evaluated pricing models and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information.
Available-for-sale securities: Municipal bonds	2	Market - Based on market data which use evaluated pricing models and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information.
Available-for-sale securities: U.S. Treasury and federal agencies	2	Market - Based on market data which use evaluated pricing models and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information.
Trading securities: Mutual funds held in nonqualified SERP	1	Market - Quoted market prices
Derivative Assets: Stock warrants	3	Market - The privately-held company is in a start-up phase. The pricing of recent purchases or sales of the investment are considered, if any, as well as positive and negative qualitative evidence, in the assessment of fair value.
Derivative Liability: Foreign exchange contracts	2	Market - Based on observable market inputs using standard calculations, such as time value, forward interest rate yield curves, and current spot rates adjusted for Kimball International's non-performance risk.
Contingent earn-out liability	3	Income - Based on a valuation model that measures the present value of the probable cash payments based upon the forecasted operating performance of the acquisition and a discount rate that captures the risk associated with the liability.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements:

As of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the market or income approach are categorized as follows:

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 our obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. See Note 15 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.

Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value:

Financial instruments that are not reflected in the 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
Equity securities without readily determinable fair value	3	Costs minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Impairment is assessed qualitatively.

On a periodic basis, but no less frequently than quarterly, the investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value is qualitatively assessed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment were to occur and was deemed to be other-than-temporary, the fair value of the investment would be estimated, and the amount by which the carrying value of the investment exceeds its fair value would be recorded as an impairment loss. See Note 15 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the carrying amount of this investment.

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 14 Derivative Instruments

Stock Warrants:

We hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, including $1.5 million in stock warrants purchased during fiscal year 2017. The investment in stock warrants is accounted for as a derivative instrument and is included in the Other Assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The stock warrants are convertible into equity shares of the privately-held company upon achieving certain milestones. The value of the stock warrants will fluctuate primarily in relation to the value of the privately-held company's underlying securities, either providing an appreciation in value or potentially expiring with no value. During the year ended June 30, 2019, the change in fair value of the stock warrants was not significant. See Note 13 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the valuation of these securities.

Information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are presented below.

Note 15 Investments

Investment Portfolio:

Our investment portfolio consists of municipal bonds, certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market, and U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. Municipal bonds include general obligation bonds and revenue bonds, some of which are pre-refunded. U.S. Treasury securities represent Treasury Bills and Notes of the U.S. government. Federal agency securities represent debt securities of a U.S. government sponsored agency, and certain of these securities are callable. Our investment policy dictates that municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities must be investment grade quality. Our secondary market certificates of deposit are classified as investment securities, being purchased in the secondary market through a broker and available to be sold in the secondary market. All certificates of deposit are FDIC insured.

Our investment portfolio is available for use in current operations, therefore investments are recorded within Current Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contractual maturities of our investment portfolio were as follows (maturity dates for municipal bonds are based on pre-refunded dates and maturity dates for government agency securities are based on the first available call date, if applicable):



	June 30, 2019
(Amounts in Thousands)	Certificates of Deposit		Municipal Bonds		U.S. Treasury and Federal Agencies
Within one year	$	6,735	$	1,922	$	19,919
After one year through two years	4,495		—		—
Total Fair Value	$	11,230	$	1,922	$	19,919

All investments are classified as available-for-sale securities which are recorded at fair value. See Note 13 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the fair value of available-for-sale securities. The amortized cost basis reflects the original purchase price, with discounts and premiums amortized over the life of the available-for-sale securities. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in earnings when there is intent to sell or it is likely to be required to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the available-for-sale securities have incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and losses are recorded net of the tax-related effect as a component of Shareholders’ Equity.



	June 30, 2019
(Amounts in Thousands)	Certificates of Deposit		Municipal Bonds			U.S. Treasury and Federal Agencies
Amortized cost basis	$	11,230	$	1,921		$	19,888

Unrealized holding losses	—		(24		)	(17		)
Fair Value	$	11,850	$	16,508		$	6,249

No investments were in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months as of June 30, 2019. There were no realized losses as a result of sales during fiscal year 2019 and an immaterial amount during fiscal year 2018.

Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan Investments:

We maintain 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. We recognize SERP investment assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the 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 gains for securities held at June 30, 2019, 2018, and 2017 were, in thousands, $223, $585, and $223, respectively. SERP asset and liability balances were as follows:



	June 30
(Amounts in Thousands)	2019		2018
SERP investments - current asset	$	3,087	$	3,868
SERP investments - other long-term asset	8,687		8,246
Total SERP investments	$	11,774	$	12,114
SERP obligation - current liability	$	3,087	$	3,868
SERP obligation - other long-term liability	8,687		8,246
Total SERP obligation	$	11,774	$	12,114

Equity securities without readily determinable fair value:

We hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, including $0.5 million in equity securities without readily determinable fair value purchased during fiscal year 2016. The investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value is included in the Other Assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 13 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the valuation of these securities. We do not hold a majority voting interest and are not the variable interest primary beneficiary of the privately-held company, thus consolidation is not required.

Note 19 Variable Interest Entities

Our involvement with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) is limited to situations 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 VIEs consists of an investment in a privately-held company consisting of equity securities without readily determinable fair value and stock warrants, and notes receivable related to independent dealership financing.

The equity securities without readily determinable fair value and stock warrants were valued at $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, at both June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 and were included in the Other Assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information related to our investment in the privately-held company, see Note 13 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The carrying value of the notes receivable for independent dealership financing were $1.0 million and $0.6 million, net of a $0.1 million allowance as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, and were included on the Receivables and Other Assets lines of our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have no obligation to provide additional funding to the VIEs, and thus our exposure and risk of loss related to the VIEs is limited to the carrying value of the investment and notes receivable. Financial support provided by Kimball International to the VIEs was limited to the items discussed above during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

Note 20 Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses of Notes Receivable

We monitor 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. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, we had no material past due outstanding notes receivable.
