KIMBALL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Kimball International, Inc. (the “Company,” “Kimball International,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K. Additionally, based on the duration and severity of the current global situation involving the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to the prolonged reduction in travel and the speed of the recovery of economic conditions globally, the extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Supplemental Information
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 was adopted during our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and was applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed 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 was adopted during our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and was applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our condensed 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. In November 2019, the FASB amended the new standard to extend the disclosure relief for accrued interest receivable balances to additional relevant disclosures involving amortized cost basis. The guidance was adopted during our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
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. As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 our goodwill totaled $11.2 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, no goodwill impairment was recognized.
8


Other Intangible Assets reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of capitalized software, 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:

Other Intangible Assets$51,363 $36,493 $14,870 $54,391 $40,442 $13,949 
Amortization expense related to intangible assets was, in thousands, $653 during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $521 during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Amortization expense in future periods is expected to be, in thousands, $2,170 for the remainder of fiscal year 2021, and $2,460, $2,068, $1,806, and $1,649 in the four years ending June 30, 2025, and $4,717 thereafter. The estimated useful life of capitalized software ranges from 2 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 re-engineering 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.
Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable:
Notes receivable and trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. We determine on a case-by-case basis the cessation of accruing interest, the resumption of accruing interest, the method of recording payments received on non accrual 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 considers several factors including historical write-off experience, overall customer credit quality in relation to general economic and market conditions, and specific customer account analyses to estimate the collectability of certain accounts. The specific customer account analyses considers such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. 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.
Non-operating Income (Expense), net:
The non-operating income (expense), net line item includes the impact of such items as fair value adjustments on Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) investments, amortization of actuarial income, bank charges, 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.

Note 3. Restructuring
During the first three months of fiscal years 2021 and 2020, we recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $4.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
We utilized available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of impaired assets. Restructuring is included in the Restructuring Expense line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Transformation Restructuring Plan Phase 1:
In June 2019, we announced a transformation restructuring plan to optimize resources for future growth, improve efficiency, and build capabilities across our organization. We believe phase 1 of our transformation restructuring plan has established a more cost-efficient structure to better align our operations with our long-term strategic goals. The transformation restructuring plan includes the following:
We reviewed our overall manufacturing facility footprint to reduce excess capacity and gain efficiencies by centralizing manufacturing operations. We have ceased operations at a leased seating manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia, and consolidated a David Edward production facility in Red Lion, Pennsylvania into our Baltimore, Maryland facility.
The creation of center-led functions for finance, human resources, information technology and legal functions resulted in the standardization of processes and the elimination of duplication. In addition, we centralized 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 were reallocated to higher-growth markets. We also ceased use of four leased furniture showrooms across our brands during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and recognized impairment of the lease and associated leasehold improvements. Additional impairment was recognized in our fourth quarter due to degradation of sublease assumptions resulting from the current economic environment.
We estimate that the total pre-tax restructuring charges upon completion of the plan will be approximately $11.1 million. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $3.6 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $3.5 million for facility exit and other costs, and $4.0 million for asset impairment. Approximately 55% of the total cost estimate is expected to be cash expense.

Transformation Restructuring Plan Phase 2:
In August 2020, we announced the next phase of our transformation restructuring plan that will align our business units to a new market-centric orientation and is expected to yield additional cost savings that will aid us in effectively managing through the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan builds on the initial strategy and the transformation restructuring plan announced in June 2019. The following is a summary of the activities we will be undertaking pursuant to phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan:
As part of the previously announced plan to consolidate manufacturing of all brands into one world-class global operations group, we are streamlining our manufacturing facilities by leveraging production capabilities across all facilities, establishing centers of excellence, and setting up processes to facilitate flexing of product between facilities in response to volume fluctuations. We are also reviewing our overall facility footprint to identify opportunities to reduce capacity and gain efficiencies.
We are streamlining our workforce to align with the new organizational structure and respond to lower volumes created by the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a more efficient organization to deliver on our Connect 2.0 strategy.
Phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan began in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2021, and we expect a substantial majority of the underlying activities of these aforementioned actions to be completed within two years.
In addition to the savings already generated from phase 1 of the transformation restructuring plan, the efforts of the phase 2 transformation restructuring plan are expected to generate annualized pre-tax savings of approximately $18.0 million when it is fully implemented. We currently estimate the phase 2 transformation restructuring plan will incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $17.0 million to $18.0 million, with $13.0 million to $14.0 million expected to be recorded in fiscal year 2021, and the remainder in fiscal year 2022. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $8.0 million to
11


$8.4 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $4.2 million to $4.4 million for facility costs, and $4.8 million to $5.2 million for lease and other asset impairment. Approximately 75% of the total cost estimate is expected to be cash expense.
A summary of the charges recorded in connection with phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan is as follows:

Workplace$95.3 $125.8 
Health20.6 28.9 
Hospitality32.0 46.8 
Total Net Sales$147.9 $201.5 
The Workplace, Health and Hospitality end markets align with the reorganization which occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2021. Our Workplace end market includes sales to the commercial, financial, government and education vertical markets.
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 Condensed 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.
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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Customer deposits are typically utilized within a year of the receipt of the deposit. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that was included in the June 30, 2020 customer deposit balance was $14.5 million.
Note 5. Leases
We have operating leases for showrooms, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, certain offices, and other facilities to support our operations in addition to select equipment that expire at various dates through 2028. We have no financing leases. Certain operating lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflationary indexes. Additionally, some leases include options to renew or terminate the leases which can be exercised at our discretion. Lease terms include the noncancellable portion of the underlying leases along with any reasonably certain lease periods associated with available renewal periods.
Certain leases have terms that are dependent upon the occurrence of events, activities, or circumstances in lease agreements and incur variable lease expense driven by warehouse square footage utilized, property taxes assessed, and other non-lease component charges. Variable lease expense is presented as operating expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments for operating leases. For all classes of assets, we do not separate non-lease components of a contract from the lease components to which they relate. We do not recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less.
The components of our lease expenses are as follows:
Three Months Ended
September 30
(Amounts in Millions)20202019
Operating lease expense$0.8 $0.8 
Variable lease expense0.7 0.7 
Total lease expense$1.5 $1.5 
Right-of-use assets for operating leases are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations as explained in Note 11 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, we recorded $0.2 million of right-of-use asset and associated leasehold improvement impairment resulting from consolidating a production facility in Red Lion, Pennsylvania into our Baltimore, Maryland facility as part of our transformation restructuring plan. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, we recorded $2.2 million of right-of-use asset and associated leasehold improvement impairment resulting from ceasing use of four furniture showrooms after the implementation of ASC 842 as part of our transformation restructuring plan. The impairment charges are included in the Restructuring Expense line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 7. Income Taxes
In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and available tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Unusual or infrequently occurring items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur. Our effective tax rate was 25.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was equal to the combined federal and state statutory tax rate. Our effective tax rate was 27.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which was higher than the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily due to a prior year tax provision adjustment.
Note 8. Inventories

Changes in quantities and price levels are reflected in the interim financial statements in the period in which they occur, except in cases where LIFO inventory liquidations are expected to be reinstated by fiscal year end. The earnings impact of LIFO inventory liquidations during the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was immaterial.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
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. As of September 30, 2020, we had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $1.6 million.
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
16


properly and without damage to their facilities. We are ultimately liable for claims that may occur against the performance bonds. We had a maximum financial exposure from performance bonds totaling $8.7 million as of September 30, 2020.
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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of September 30, 2020 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 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
Three Months Ended

Settlements made (in cash or in kind)(572)(370)
Product Warranty Liability at the end of the period$3,045 $2,146 

Note 11. 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.
There were no changes in the inputs or valuation techniques used to measure fair values compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
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 12 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value, and Note 13 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in stock warrants. No purchases or sales of Level 3 assets occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value:
The following methods and assumptions were used to measure fair value:
Financial InstrumentLevelValuation Technique/Inputs Used
Cash Equivalents: Money market funds1Market - Quoted market prices
Available-for-sale securities: Secondary market certificates of deposit2Market - 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 securities1Market - Quoted market prices
Trading securities: Mutual funds held in nonqualified SERP1Market - Quoted market prices
Derivative Assets: Stock warrants3
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. The value of the stock warrants fluctuates primarily in relation to the value of the privately-held company's underlying securities.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements:
As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the fair values of financial assets 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 12 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.
18


Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements:
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments when events or circumstances indicate a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the asset. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.
Non-recurring Fair Value Adjustment LevelValuation Technique/Inputs Used
Impairment of Right of Use Lease Assets and Related Asset Groups3Income - Based on a valuation model that measures the present value of remaining lease payments less estimated sublease income at a discount rate that captures the risk associated with the future cash flows.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, we recorded $0.2 million of right-of-use asset and associated leasehold improvement impairment resulting from consolidating a production facility in Red Lion, Pennsylvania into our Baltimore, Maryland facility as part of our transformation restructuring plan. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, due to ceasing use of four showrooms related to the Transformation Restructuring Plan, we recognized an impairment loss of $2.2 million to reduce the related asset groups to fair value. The impairment loss is included as a component of the Restructuring Expense line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The asset groups used to calculate impairment included the right-of-use lease assets, leasehold improvements, and lease liabilities.
Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value:
Financial instruments that are not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that have carrying amounts which approximate fair value include the following:
Financial Instrument LevelValuation Technique/Inputs Used
Notes receivable2Market - 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 value3Cost 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 12 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the carrying amount of this investment.
The carrying value of our cash deposit accounts, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, customer deposits, and dividends payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity and immaterial non-performance risk.
Note 12. Investments
Investment Portfolio:
Our investment portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury securities and certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market. Our investment policy dictates that U.S. Treasury 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.
19


Our investment portfolio is available for use in current operations; therefore, investments are recorded within Current Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contractual maturities of our investment portfolio were as follows:

All investments are classified as available-for-sale securities which are recorded at fair value. See Note 11 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed 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.

Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan Investments:
We maintain a self-directed 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets representing an obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. The SERP investment assets are classified as trading, and accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the Other Income (Expense) section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Adjustments made to revalue the SERP liability are also recognized in income or expense as selling and administrative expenses and offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets. Net unrealized holding gains for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were, in thousands, $679 and $24, respectively.

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. The investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value is included in the Other Assets line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 11 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed 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 13. Derivative Instruments
We hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, including $1.5 million in stock warrants. The investment in stock warrants is accounted for as a derivative instrument and is included in the Other Assets line of the Condensed 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 quarter ended September 30, 2020, the change in fair value of the stock warrants was not significant. See Note 11 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the valuation of these securities.


Note 14. Postemployment Benefits
Our domestic employees participate in severance plans which provide severance benefits to eligible employees meeting the plans’ qualifications, primarily for involuntary termination without cause.
The components of net periodic postemployment benefit cost applicable to our severance plans were as follows:

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 restructuring actions, are not estimable using actuarial methods and are expensed in accordance with the applicable U.S. GAAP.
Note 15. Stock Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was $0.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The total income tax benefit for stock compensation arrangements was $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, and $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

During fiscal year 2021, the following stock compensation was awarded to officers and other key employees and to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees. All awards were granted under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan. For more information on stock compensation awards, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

(1) Performance units were awarded to key officers under the Company’s Relative Total Shareholder Return program. Vesting occurs at June 30, 2023. Participants will earn from 0% to 200% of the target award depending upon how the compound annual growth rate of Kimball International common stock ranks within the peer group at the end of the performance period. The maximum number of units that can be issued under these awards is 164,072.
(2) Restricted stock units were awarded to officers and key employees. Vesting occurs at June 30, 2021, June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2023. Upon vesting, the outstanding number of restricted stock units and the value of dividends accumulated over the vesting period are converted to shares of common stock.
(3) Unrestricted shares were awarded to non-employee members of the Board of Directors as consideration for service to Kimball International and do not have vesting periods, holding periods, restrictions on sale, or other restrictions.
(4) The grant date fair value of the Relative Total Shareholder Return awards was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. This valuation technique includes estimating the movement of stock prices and the effects of volatility, interest rates, and dividends. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units that receive dividends and unrestricted shares was based on the stock price at the date of the award.
Note 16. 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 September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and were included in the Other Assets line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information related to our investment in the privately-held company, see Note 11 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The carrying value of the notes receivable for independent dealership financing were $0.7 million at September 30, 2020 and $0.9 million at June 30, 2020 and were included on the Receivables and Other Assets lines of our Condensed 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 quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Note 17. Subsequent Events
Merger Agreement
On November 4, 2020, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger”) with Poppin, Inc. The total consideration to be paid in connection with the Merger is approximately $110 million in cash at the closing of the Merger, subject to customary purchase price adjustments as provided in the Merger agreement, and a potential earn-out of up to an additional $70 million, subject to meeting certain financial targets as provided in the Merger agreement. The complete Merger agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 4, 2020.

Credit Facility
In connection with and to facilitate the Merger, on November 4, 2020, we amended our credit facility to now allow for up to $125 million in borrowings, with an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $200 million at our request, subject to participating banks’ consent. The amended credit facility maintains a maturity date of October 2024. The complete agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 4, 2020.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview
For over 70 years, Kimball International, Inc. (the “Company,” “Kimball International,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) has created design-driven furnishings that have helped our customers shape spaces into places, bringing possibility to life by enabling collaboration, discovery, wellness, and relaxation. We go to market through our family of brands: Kimball, National, Interwoven, Etc., Kimball Hospitality, and D’style by Kimball Hospitality. Our values and integrity are demonstrated daily by living our purpose and guiding principles that establish us as an employer of choice. We build success by growing long-term relationships with customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.
Management currently considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding our financial condition and operating performance:
COVID-19 - The COVID-19 pandemic continued to adversely impact our financial performance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, and is expected to have a continuing adverse impact as we navigate through this crisis. The expected duration and severity of the COVID-19 impact on our business is affected by plans to return to the workplace balanced with working from home and the potential prolonged reduction in travel. Our dealers and suppliers are also experiencing similar negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Order rates in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 in our hospitality and health end markets improved from the orders booked in the most recent fourth quarter, but overall orders declined compared to the first quarter of our fiscal year 2020. In response to the decline in orders and revenue, we are focusing on cost control and are closely monitoring market changes and our liquidity in order to proactively adjust our operating costs. In order to preserve cash during this time, we have also reduced spending on discretionary expenditures. Managing working capital in conjunction with fluctuating demand levels is likewise key. While the impact of COVID-19 is anticipated to impact our future sales levels, 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 amended credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and other operating needs for at least the next twelve months.
‘Kimball International Connect 2.0’ Strategy - In August 2020, Kimball International announced Connect 2.0, which centers around accelerating our growth. The four pillars of our previously announced strategy remain constant: inspire our people with a purpose driven and high performance culture, build our capabilities by expanding our work on innovation, fuel our future through the dedication to cost savings, and accelerate our growth. Connect 2.0 is designed to accelerate the growth of Kimball International and aid us in effectively managing through the current economic downturn, by driving market share gains as well as yielding additional cost savings. The Company has been reorganized into four market centric business units which are Workplace, Health, Hospitality, and eBusiness that will accelerate our ability to redesign and reimagine the new workplace, build a new work from home portfolio, continue assembling experts in health, and expand our hospitality business into other commercial direct sales environments. The dedicated eBusiness unit has taken a leadership role in establishing all e-commerce across our brands and end markets. Each of these four business units is supported by the agility and efficiency of Global Operations and the streamlined center-led structure that we implemented in year one of our strategy and the transformation restructuring plan described below.
Transformation Restructuring Plan Phase 1 - In June 2019, we announced a transformation restructuring plan to optimize resources for future growth, improve efficiency, and build capabilities across our organization. We believe phase 1 of our transformation restructuring plan has established a more cost-efficient structure to better align our operations with our long-term strategic goals. We anticipate remaining restructuring charges of $0.9 million related to the leased showrooms which were previously closed but have not been subleased. See Note 3 - Restructuring of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Transformation Restructuring Plan Phase 2 - In August 2020, we announced the next phase of our transformation restructuring plan that will align our business units to a new market-centric orientation and is expected to yield additional cost savings that will aid us in effectively managing through the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Phase 2 of the
23


transformation restructuring plan builds on the initial strategy and the transformation restructuring plan announced in June 2019. Phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan began in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2021, and we expect a substantial majority of the underlying activities of these aforementioned actions to be completed within two years. We currently estimate the transformation restructuring plan will incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $17.0 million to $18.0 million related to the initiatives under phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan, with $13.0 million to $14.0 million expected to be recorded in fiscal year 2021, and the remainder in fiscal year 2022. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $8.0 million to $8.4 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $4.2 million to $4.4 million for facility costs, and $4.8 million to $5.2 million for lease and other asset impairment. Approximately 75% of the total cost estimate is expected to be cash expense. The following is a summary of the activities we will be undertaking pursuant to phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan:
As part of the previously announced plan to consolidate manufacturing of all brands into one world-class global operations group, we are streamlining our manufacturing facilities by leveraging production capabilities across all facilities, establishing centers of excellence, and setting up processes to facilitate flexing of product between facilities in response to volume fluctuations. We are also reviewing our overall facility footprint to identify opportunities to reduce capacity and gain efficiencies.
We are streamlining our workforce to align with the new organizational structure and respond to lower volumes created by the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a more efficient organization to deliver on our Connect 2.0 strategy.
We expect pricing pressure on commodities in future quarters, and also expect to be exposed to fluctuations in both domestic and ocean freight costs. We are working to offset increases in these costs through supplier negotiations, global sourcing initiatives, product re-engineering and parts standardization. Transportation costs are managed by optimizing logistics and supply chain planning.
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 order backlog trends.
We expect to continue to invest in capital expenditures prudently, particularly for projects that will enhance our capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability.
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 $189.9 million at September 30, 2020.
Subsequent to the end of our first quarter, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger”) with Poppin, Inc. on November 4, 2020. The total consideration to be paid in connection with the Merger is approximately $110 million in cash at the closing of the Merger, subject to customary purchase price adjustments as provided in the Merger agreement, and a potential earn-out of up to an additional $70 million, subject to meeting certain financial targets as provided in the Merger agreement. The complete Merger agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 4, 2020.
In connection with and to facilitate the Merger, on November 4, 2020, we amended our credit facility to now allow for up to $125 million in borrowings, with an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $200 million at our request, subject to participating banks’ consent. The amended credit facility maintains a maturity date of October 2024. The complete agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 4, 2020.

Total Net Sales$147.9 $201.5 (27 %)
The Workplace, Health and Hospitality end markets align with the reorganization which occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2021. Our Workplace end market includes sales to the commercial, financial, government and education vertical markets.
First quarter fiscal year 2021 consolidated net sales were $147.9 million compared to first quarter fiscal year 2020 net sales of $201.5 million. The 27% net sales decrease is due to lower volume in the workplace, health, and hospitality end markets driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of our vertical market sales levels can fluctuate depending on the mix of projects in a given period.
Order backlog at September 30, 2020 decreased 7%, when compared to the backlog level as of September 30, 2019, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Backlog at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased 50 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Savings realized from our transformation plan, a shift in sales mix to higher margin products, and a reduction in our healthcare and retirement expenses more than offset the loss of leverage on the lower sales volumes.
25


Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 increased 300 basis points due to the decline in sales volume outpacing our reduction in selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 decreased 18% in absolute dollars driven by savings resulting from our transformation restructuring plan, lower incentive compensation resulting from lower earnings, reduced marketing expense, lower retirement expense, lower commissions due to the volume decline, and lower travel and entertainment expenses.
In the first quarter of fiscal years 2021 and 2020, we recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $4.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, related to phase 1 and phase 2 of our transformation restructuring plans. See Note 3 - Restructuring of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other Income (Expense) consisted of the following:

Other Income (Expense), net$817 $585 
Our effective tax rate was 25.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was equal to the combined federal and state statutory rate. Our effective tax rate was 27.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 which was higher than the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily due to a prior year tax provision adjustment.
Comparing the balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 to June 30, 2020, our accounts receivable balance declined as a result of our reduced sales volumes. Our inventory balance has declined, but we have maintained certain minimum inventory thresholds essential to efficiently serving our customers. Our accrued expenses line decreased due to payments of our accrued cash incentive compensation and company retirement contribution which were both related to our fiscal year 2020 performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, was $116.5 million at September 30, 2020 and $97.1 million at June 30, 2020. Cash flows from operations of $27.0 million more than offset capital expenditures, including capitalized software, of $4.0 million and the return of capital to shareholders in the form of dividends totaling $3.3 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2021.
Working capital at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 was $125.8 million and $123.1 million, respectively. The current ratio was 2.3 and 2.1 at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
Our short-term liquidity available, represented as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments plus the unused amount of our credit facility, totaled $189.9 million at September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, we had $1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. We had no credit facility borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2020 or June 30, 2020.

Cash Flows
The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the first three months of fiscal years 2021 and 2020.
Three Months Ended
September 30
(Amounts in Thousands)20202019
Net cash provided by operating activities$26,959 $11,056 
Net cash used for investing activities$(12,248)$(510)
Net cash used for financing activities$(3,578)$(3,806)
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the first three months of fiscal year 2021 net cash provided by operating activities was $27.0 million inclusive of $5.4 million of net income while the first three months of fiscal year 2020 net cash provided by operating activities was $11.1 million inclusive of $11.4 million of net income. Changes in working capital balances provided $16.7 million of cash in the first three months of fiscal year 2021 and used $10.5 million of cash in the first three months of fiscal year 2020.
The $16.7 million of cash provided by changes in working capital balances in the first three months of fiscal year 2021 was driven by a $17.4 million reduction in our accounts receivable balance due to the reduction in our sales volume and a $7.7 million reduction in our inventory balance. Partially offsetting the decrease in working capital was a reduction in our accrued expenses balance as our accrued cash incentive compensation and retirement profit sharing contribution, which together totaled $9.5 million and were related to our fiscal year 2020 performance, were paid out during our first quarter of fiscal year 2021.
The $10.5 million usage of cash from changes in working capital balances in the first three months of fiscal year 2020 was primarily due to a reduction in our accrued expenses balance as the retirement profit sharing contribution and approximately half of our accrued cash incentive compensation which were both related to our fiscal year 2019 performance were paid out during our first quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Our measure of accounts receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”), for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 were 35 and 29 days, respectively. The DSO increase was largely driven by the impacts of COVID-19 and customer payment patterns. 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 three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 were 56 and 44 days, respectively. While inventory has declined since last year, there are certain minimum inventory thresholds essential to efficiently serving our customers causing an increase in our inventory days on hand. 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 the first three months of fiscal year 2021, we invested $10.0 million in available-for-sale securities, and $1.8 million matured. During the first three months of fiscal year 2020, we invested $6.0 million in available-for-sale securities, and $12.7 million matured. During the current year first quarter, our short-term investments included certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market and U.S. Treasury securities. During the first three months of fiscal years 2021 and 2020, we reinvested $4.0 million and $7.4 million, respectively, into capital investments for the future. The current year capital investments were primarily for various manufacturing equipment upgrades to increase automation in production facilities, configuration design software, and facility improvements. The prior year capital investments were primarily for facility improvements such as renovations to our corporate headquarters, and various manufacturing equipment upgrades.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We paid dividends of $3.3 million and $2.9 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Consistent with our historical dividend policy, our Board of Directors evaluates the appropriate dividend payment on a quarterly basis.
Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2020 we had a $75 million credit facility with a maturity date of October 2024 that allowed for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. We also had an option to request an increase of the amount available for borrowing to $150 million, subject to participating banks’ consent. The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement could consist
27


of, at our election, advances in U.S. dollars or advances in any other currency that was agreed to by the lenders. The proceeds of the revolving loans were to be used for general corporate purposes including acquisitions. A portion of the credit facility, not to exceed $10 million of the principal amount, was available for the issuance of letters of credit. At September 30, 2020, we had $1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. At both September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we had no borrowings outstanding.
The credit facility required us to comply with certain debt covenants, the most significant of which were the adjusted leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. The adjusted leverage ratio was defined as (a) consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash equivalents on hand in excess of $15,000,000 provided that the maximum subtraction did not exceed $35,000,000 to (b) adjusted consolidated EBITDA, determined as of the end of each of our fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, and could not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0. The fixed charge coverage ratio was 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, minus if the Adjusted Leverage Ratio was greater than 1.00 to 1.00 for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarter period, repurchase of Equity Interests 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 could not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all debt covenants of the credit facility during the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
The table below compares the adjusted leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio with the limits specified in the credit agreement.

Future Liquidity
On November 4, 2020, we amended our credit facility to now allow for up to $125 million in borrowings, with an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $200 million at our request, subject to participating banks’ consent. The amended credit facility maintains a maturity date of October 2024. The complete agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 4, 2020.
While we expect the impact of COVID-19 will continue to impact our sales levels, 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 amended credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and other operating needs for at least the next twelve months. During the remainder of fiscal year 2021, we also anticipate cash outflow of approximately $110 million for the Poppin, Inc. merger, and approximately $8 million related to the second phase of our transformation restructuring plan. Our Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.09 per share, to be paid during both our second and third quarters of fiscal year 2021. Future cash dividends are subject to approval by our Board of Directors and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change. We plan to reinstate our share repurchase program during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. At September 30, 2020, 2.5 million shares remained available under the repurchase program. During the remainder of fiscal year 2021 we expect to continue investments in capital expenditures, particularly for projects such as machinery and equipment upgrades and automation, and 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, including reduced revenues from the COVID-19 pandemic, 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) adjusted operating income, defined as operating income excluding restructuring expenses, CEO transition costs, and market value adjustments related to our SERP liability; (2) adjusted operating income percentage, defined as adjusted operating income as a percentage of net sales; (3) adjusted net income, defined as net income excluding restructuring expenses and CEO transition costs; (4) adjusted diluted earnings per share, defined as diluted earnings per share excluding restructuring expenses and CEO transition costs; (5) adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excluding restructuring expenses and CEO transition costs; and (6) 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 tables 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 order backlog 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 the backlog of orders is expected to ship within a twelve-month period.
Return on Invested Capital is a key performance indicator calculated as: [(Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Amortization, Restructuring Expense, and CEO Transition Costs) 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
Financial assets classified as level 1 assets were valued using readily available market pricing. For available-for-sale securities classified as level 2 assets, the fair values are determined based on market data which use evaluated pricing models and incorporate 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 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.
See Note 11 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our summary of contractual obligations under the caption, “Contractual Obligations” in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit and performance bonds. 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 10 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the standby letters of credit and performance bonds. We do not have material exposures to trading activities of non-exchange traded contracts.
The preceding statements are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market 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. imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum 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 strive to offset increases in the cost of these materials through supplier negotiations, global sourcing initiatives, and product re-engineering and parts standardization. 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.

We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of September 30, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
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. At September 30, 2020, 2.5 million shares remained available under the repurchase program. We did not repurchase any shares under the repurchase program during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 due to temporarily suspending share repurchases as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
