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. In connection with our annual impairment test, we assessed goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment during our second quarter of fiscal year 2021, and no goodwill impairment was recognized.

As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 our goodwill totaled $83.1 million and $11.2 million, respectively. During fiscal year 2021, we recorded $72.0 million and $52.4 million, respectively, in goodwill and other intangible assets from the acquisition of Poppin, Inc. See Note 3 - Acquisition of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this acquisition.

Other Intangible Assets reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of capitalized software, customer relationships, trade names, acquired technology, patents, trademarks, 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:

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was, in thousands, $2,510 and $4,212 during the quarter and year-to-date period ended March 31, 2021, and was, in thousands, $639 and $1,707 during the quarter and year-to-date period ended March 31, 2020. Amortization expense in future periods is expected to be, in thousands, $2,516 for the remainder of fiscal year 2021, and $9,423, $8,585, $7,985, and $7,782 in the four years ending June 30, 2025, and $30,948 thereafter. The estimated useful life of capitalized software ranges from 2 to 10 years. The amortization period for customer relationship intangible assets ranges from 10 to 20 years. The estimated useful life of trade names is 10 years. The amortization period for acquired technology is 7 years. The estimated useful life of non-compete agreements is 5 years. The estimated useful life of patents is 14 years and the estimated useful life of trademarks is 15 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, non-compete agreements, acquired technology, patents and trademarks 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.

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

Note 3. Acquisition

On December 9, 2020, we acquired Poppin, Inc. (“Poppin”), a tech-enabled, market-leading B2B commercial furniture design company headquartered in New York City, New York. Poppin designs commercial-grade furniture that is made to mix, match, and scale in today’s modern office and work-from-home environments. The acquisition purchase price totaled $110.4 million in initial cash consideration plus additional contingent payments, if all milestones are achieved, of $70.0 million based on revenue and profitability milestones achieved through June 30, 2024. As of the acquisition date the fair value of the contingent earn-out was $31.8 million. The $110.4 million cash consideration is subject to certain post-closing working capital and other customary adjustments.

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

The operating results of this acquisition are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on December 9, 2020. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, net sales and net loss related to Poppin were $8.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively. For the year-to-date period ended March 31, 2021, net sales and net loss related to Poppin were $11.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Direct costs of the acquisition during both the quarter and year-to-date periods ended March 31, 2021, of less than $0.1 million and $3.4 million were expensed as incurred and were included on the Selling and Administrative Expenses line of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the anticipated supply chain and revenue synergies including cross selling initiatives expected from the operations of the combined company. See Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Supplemental Information of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on goodwill and other intangible assets. The purchase price

allocation is provisional pending final valuations and purchase accounting adjustments, which were not final as of March 31, 2021. We utilized management estimates and consultation with an independent third-party valuation firm to assist in the valuation process.

The following summarizes our goodwill activity:

Note 4. Restructuring

We recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $2.6 million and $8.5 million in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and recognized $0.8 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020.

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 included 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 of fiscal year 2020 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 $11.3 million. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $3.6 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $3.6 million for facility exit and other costs, and $4.1 million for asset impairment. Approximately 55% of the total cost estimate is expected to be cash expense.

A summary of the charges recorded in connection with phase 1 of the transformation restructuring plan is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended				Charges Incurred to Date
	March 31				March 31
(Amounts in Thousands)	2021		2020		2021		2020

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, including the consolidation of our Baltimore, Maryland facility into other manufacturing facilities.

•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.

•In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we offered two voluntary retirement incentive programs to eligible employees. Employees electing to participate will be paid special termination benefits, including a severance benefit and cash payment that may be used to pay for a period of healthcare coverage or for any other purpose.

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 $16.0 million when it is fully implemented. We currently estimate the phase 2 transformation restructuring plan will incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $15.0 million to $16.0 million, with $9.0 million to $10.0 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 $6.0 million to $6.3 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $3.8 million to $4.4 million for facility costs, and $5.2 million to $5.3 million for lease and other asset impairment. Approximately 70% 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:


	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended		Charges Incurred to Date
	March 31		March 31
(Amounts in Thousands)	2021		2021
Cash-related restructuring charges:
Severance and other employee related costs	$	1,404	$	4,915	$	4,915
Facility exit costs and other cash charges	613		849		849
Total cash-related restructuring charges	$	2,017	$	5,764	$	5,764
Non-cash charges:
Impairment of assets and accelerated depreciation	452		1,437		1,437



Total charges	$	2,469	$	7,201	$	7,201

A summary of the current period activity in accrued restructuring related to phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan is as follows:


(Amounts in Thousands)	Severance and other employee related costs
Balance at June 30, 2020	$	—
Additions charged to expense	5,346
Cash payments charged against reserve	(2,520)
Non-cash adjustments	(431)
Balance at March 31, 2021	$	2,395

Note 5. Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table provides information about revenue by end market:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 31				March 31
(Amounts in Millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Workplace	$	78.9	$	104.3	$	261.6	$	344.4
Health	24.6		30.2		72.2		87.3
Hospitality	35.2		43.7		89.0		140.1
Total Net Sales	$	138.7	$	178.2	$	422.8	$	571.8

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 and eBusiness. The revenue of the Poppin acquisition is included in eBusiness.

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 upon satisfaction of a performance obligation.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2021 that was included in the June 30, 2020 customer deposit balance was $18.8 million.

Note 6. 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 2027. 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				Nine Months Ended
	March 31				March 31
(Amounts in Millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Operating lease expense	$	1.3	$	0.9	$	3.1	$	2.5

Variable lease expense	1.2		0.6		2.5		1.8
Total lease expense	$	2.5	$	1.5	$	5.6	$	4.3

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 13 - 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 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. See Note 4 - Restructuring of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the impairment.

Present value of lease liabilities	$	20.6

(1) Lease payments include options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised. The payments exclude legally binding minimum lease payments for leases signed but not yet commenced.

Note 7. 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.


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 31				March 31
(Amounts in Thousands, Except for Per Share Data)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Net Income (Loss)	$	(4,529)	$	9,451	$	19	$	31,874

Average Shares Outstanding for Basic EPS Calculation	36,860		36,813		36,932		36,890
Dilutive Effect of Average Outstanding Compensation Awards	—		276		597		344
Average Shares Outstanding for Diluted EPS Calculation	36,860		37,089		37,529		37,234

Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share	$	(0.12)	$	0.26	$	0.00	$	0.86
Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share	$	(0.12)	$	0.25	$	0.00	$	0.86

All stock compensation awards were antidilutive as a result of the net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and were excluded from the dilutive calculation, including 752,000 average restricted share units and 166,000 average relative total shareholder return awards.

Note 8. 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 rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 were 39.8% and 102.1%, respectively. These rates were higher than the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to R&D tax credits, which increased the tax benefit associated with the pre-tax losses during the quarter and year-to-date periods. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 23.5%, which was less than the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily because the R&D tax credit reduced the tax provision on pre-tax income during the quarter. Our effective tax rate was 26.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, which approximated the combined federal and state statutory rate.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, we acquired U.S. federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $75.7 million in connection with the Poppin, Inc. acquisition, of which an estimated $72.7 million will be available to offset future taxable income during the carryforward period based on limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Approximately $60.1 million of federal NOLs expire between fiscal years 2032 and 2037 and the remaining available federal NOLs can be carried forward indefinitely. We also acquired state NOLs of approximately $91.3 million in connection with the Poppin, Inc. acquisition, of which an estimated $66.7 million will be available to offset future taxable income during the carryforward periods. We provided a full valuation allowance against the available state NOLs, as we do not have sufficient positive evidence at this time to conclude that Poppin, Inc. will be able to utilize the NOL carryforwards in the states where the losses were generated, considering state limitations on the utilization of NOLs.

Note 9. Inventories

Inventory components were as follows:


(Amounts in Thousands)	March 31, 2021		June 30, 2020
Finished products	$	41,430	$	29,081
Work-in-process	1,186		1,648
Raw materials	32,743		35,295
Total FIFO inventory	75,359		66,024
LIFO reserve	(16,940)		(16,167)
Total inventory	$	58,419	$	49,857

For interim reporting, LIFO inventories are computed based on quantities as of the end of the quarter and interim changes in price levels. Changes in quantities and price levels are reflected in the interim financial statements in the period in which they occur, except in cases where LIFO inventory liquidations are expected to be reinstated by fiscal year end. The earnings impact of LIFO inventory liquidations during the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2021 was income, in thousands, of $432 and $605 which was more than offset by LIFO expense resulting from inflation. The earnings impact of LIFO inventory liquidations during the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2020 was immaterial. Our finished goods inventory increased from June 30, 2020 to March 31, 2021 as a result of the Poppin acquisition.

Note 10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the changes in the balances of each component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, net of tax, were as follows:

Note 11. Short-Term and Long-Term Debt

Short-term borrowings and long-term debt consisted of the following obligations:


(Amounts in Thousands)	March 31, 2021		June 30, 2020
Short-term debt under credit facility due June 8, 2021; 1.56%	$	40,000	$	—
PPP loan obtained in Poppin acquisition due April 23, 2022; 1.00%	2,503		—
Other debt maturing August 12, 2025; 9.25%	109		136

Total Debt	$	42,612	$	136

As of March 31, 2021 we had a $125.0 million credit facility with a maturity date of October 2024 that allowed for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. We also have an option to request an increase of the amount available for borrowing to

$200.0 million, subject to participating banks’ consent. The loans under the Credit Agreement could consist 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 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, was available for the issuance of letters of credit. At March 31, 2021, we had $1.7 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. Total availability to borrow under the credit facility totaled $83.3 million at March 31, 2021. For the third quarter of fiscal year 2021 and 2020, interest expense incurred and paid was, in thousands, $182 and $0, respectively, and for the year-to date periods of fiscal year 2021 and 2020 was $211 and $15, respectively.

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 200.0 basis points based on the Company's ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA; or

•the Alternate Base Rate (the “ABR”) which is defined as the highest of the fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of

a.prime rate as last quoted by The Wall Street Journal; or

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

c.0.5% per annum above the Federal Reserve Bank of New York;

plus the ABR Loans spread which can range from 25.0 to 100.0 basis points based on the Company's ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants of the credit facility during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021. The most significant financial covenants under the Credit Agreement require:

•an adjusted leverage ratio of (a) consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash equivalents in excess of $15,000,000 provided that the maximum subtraction shall not exceed $35,000,000 to (b) adjusted 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

•an interest coverage ratio, for any period, of (a) Consolidated EBITDA for such period to (b) cash interest expense for such period, calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP for the trailing four quarter period then ending, to not be less than 3.00 to 1.00.

We acquired Poppin, Inc. subsequent to their borrowing of the Payment Protection Program (“PPP”) loan, and we hold restricted cash in escrow for repayment of the PPP loan. If the PPP loan is forgiven, the proceeds will be paid to the former Poppin, Inc. equity holders per the terms of the agreement and plan of merger.

Note 12. 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 March 31, 2021, we had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $1.7 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 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 $8.1 million as of March 31, 2021.

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 March 31, 2021 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 nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended
	March 31
(Amounts in Thousands)	2021		2020
Product Warranty Liability at the beginning of the period	$	3,190	$	2,238
Additions to warranty accrual (including changes in estimates)	1,256		3,318
Settlements made (in cash or in kind)	(1,643)		(2,356)
Product Warranty Liability at the end of the period	$	2,803	$	3,200

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.

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.

In connection with the acquisition of Poppin, 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 $70.0 million may be paid based on revenue and profitability milestones achieved through June 30, 2024. As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability was $31.8 million . The liability is carried at fair value and is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of our contingent consideration liability include the following significant unobservable inputs:

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 14 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value, and Note 15 - 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 nine months ended March 31, 2021.

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

Market - Quoted market prices

Available-for-sale securities: Secondary market certificates of deposit

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

Market - Quoted market prices

Derivative Assets: Stock warrants

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.

Contingent earn-out liability

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 March 31, 2021 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:


	March 31, 2021
(Amounts in Thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets

Total assets at fair value	$	103,010	$	5,294	$	1,500	$	109,804

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 14 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.

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

Level

Valuation Technique/Inputs Used

Impairment of Right of Use Lease Assets and Related Asset Groups

Income - 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

Level

Valuation Technique/Inputs Used

Notes receivable

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

Cost 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 14 - 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, debt, and dividends payable approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturity and immaterial non-performance risk.

Note 14. Investments

Investment Portfolio:

Our investment portfolio consists of certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market. 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contractual maturities of our investment portfolio were as follows:


	March 31, 2021
(Amounts in Thousands)	Certificates of Deposit
Within one year	$	501
After one year through two years	—
Total Fair Value	$	501

All investments are classified as available-for-sale securities which are recorded at fair value. See Note 13 - 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.


	March 31, 2021
(Amounts in Thousands)	Certificates of Deposit
Amortized cost basis	$	500
Unrealized holding gains	1
Unrealized holding losses	—
Fair Value	$	501

	June 30, 2020
(Amounts in Thousands)	Certificates of Deposit
Amortized cost basis	$	5,250
Unrealized holding gains	44
Unrealized holding losses	—
Fair Value	$	5,294

No investments were in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months as of March 31, 2021. There were no realized gains or losses as a result of sales in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were, in thousands, $2,051 and $1,569, respectively.

SERP asset and liability balances were as follows:


(Amounts in Thousands)	March 31, 2021		June 30, 2020
SERP investments - current asset	$	3,463	$	3,622
SERP investments - other long-term asset	10,123		8,353
Total SERP investments	$	13,586	$	11,975

SERP obligation - current liability	$	3,463	$	3,622
SERP obligation - other long-term liability	10,123		8,353
Total SERP obligation	$	13,586	$	11,975

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 13 - 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 15. 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 March 31, 2021, the change in fair value of the stock warrants was not significant. See Note 13 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the valuation of these securities.

Note 16. 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:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 31				March 31
(Amounts in Thousands)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Service cost	$	118	$	120	$	361	$	365
Interest cost	10		19		31		56

Amortization of actuarial income	(112)		(82)		(333)		(260)
Net periodic benefit cost	$	16	$	57	$	59	$	161

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 17. Stock Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense during the quarter and year-to-date period ended March 31, 2021 was $1.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and during the quarter and year-to-date period ended March 31, 2020 was $1.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The total income tax benefit for stock compensation arrangements during the quarter and year-to-date period ended March 31, 2021 was $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and during the quarter and year-to-date period ended March 31, 2020 was $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

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.


Type of Award	Quarter Awarded	Targeted Shares or Units	Grant Date Fair Value (4)



Relative Total Shareholder Return Performance Units (1)	1st Quarter	82,036	$11.35
Relative Total Shareholder Return Performance Units (1)	2nd Quarter	17,285	$10.68	-	$12.63
Restricted Stock Units (2)	1st Quarter	165,529	$10.94	-	$11.28
Restricted Stock Units (2)	2nd Quarter	415,513	$11.08	-	$12.25
Restricted Stock Units (2)	3rd Quarter	9,366	$12.09	-	$12.81
Unrestricted Shares (3)	1st Quarter	12,592	$11.02
Unrestricted Shares (3)	2nd Quarter	11,042	$10.65	-	$10.67
Unrestricted Shares (3)	3rd Quarter	13,014	$11.83	-	$12.50

(1) Performance units were awarded to key officers under the Company’s Relative Total Shareholder Return program. Vesting occurs at June 30, 2021, June 30, 2022, and 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, excluding forfeited awards, is 190,664.

(2) Restricted stock units were awarded to officers and key employees. Vesting occurs at June 30, 2021, December 31, 2021, June 30, 2022, December 31, 2022, June 30, 2023, and December 31, 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 and key employees 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 18. 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, as described in Note 13 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The carrying value of the notes receivable for independent dealership financing were $0.6 million at March 31, 2021 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 March 31, 2021.

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 crafted design-driven furnishings that help our customers shape ordinary spaces into vibrant places that spark collaboration, relaxation, wellness, and discovery. Our family of brands includes Kimball, National, Etc., Interwoven, Kimball Hospitality, D’style, and Poppin.

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 third 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 third quarter of fiscal year 2021 in our workplace end market improved from the orders booked in the most recent second quarter, but health and hospitality orders declined thus overall orders declined compared to the most recent second quarter and the third quarter of 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 $0.6 million related to the leased showrooms which were previously closed but have not been subleased. See Note 4 - Restructuring of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q 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 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 $15.0 million to $16.0 million related to the initiatives under phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan, with $9.0 million to $10.0 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 $6.0 million to $6.3 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $3.8 million to $4.4 million for facility costs, and $5.2 million to $5.3 million for lease and other asset impairment. Approximately

70% 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:

•During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, we acquired Poppin, Inc. (“Poppin”), a tech-enabled, market-leading B2B commercial furniture design company headquartered in New York City, New York. Poppin designs commercial-grade furniture that is made to mix, match, and scale in today’s modern office and work-from-home environments. The acquisition purchase price totaled $110.4 million in cash consideration plus additional contingent payments, if all milestones are achieved, of $70.0 million based on revenue and profitability milestones achieved through June 30, 2024. As of the acquisition date the fair value of the contingent earn-out was $31.8 million. The $110.4 million cash consideration is subject to certain post-closing working capital and other customary adjustments.

•In connection with and to facilitate the merger, on November 4, 2020, we amended our credit facility to allow for up to $125.0 million in borrowings, with an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $200.0 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.

•We expect to continue to be exposed to fluctuations in both domestic freight and ocean freight costs. Transportation costs are managed by optimizing logistics and supply chain planning, but the current freight rate levels are elevated such that significant year-over-year increases occurred during our third quarter of fiscal year 2021 and are expected to remain above the prior year levels in our fourth quarter. We are experiencing commodity cost increases especially for wood components, steel, aluminum, foam and plastics. We expect these commodity pricing pressures to continue in future quarters. We are working to offset increases in these costs through inclusion of a portion of the increased freight in quotes, supplier negotiations, global sourcing initiatives, product re-engineering and parts standardization.

•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 $117.3 million at March 31, 2021.

Net Sales by End Market
	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	March 31						March 31
(Amounts in Millions)	2021		2020		% Change		2021		2020		% Change

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 and eBusiness. The revenue of the Poppin acquisition is included in eBusiness.

Third quarter fiscal year 2021 consolidated net sales were $138.7 million compared to third quarter fiscal year 2020 net sales of $178.2 million. Consolidated net sales for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021 were $422.8 million compared to net sales of $571.8 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020. For the third quarter and year-to-date periods, organic net sales decreased 27% and 28%, respectively, primarily due to volume declines in our Workplace, Health, and Hospitality end

markets driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of our end market sales levels can fluctuate depending on the mix of projects in a given period.

Order backlog at March 31, 2021 decreased 31%, when compared to the backlog level as of March 31, 2020, 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 decreased 530 basis points to 28.7% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to 34.0% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. Savings realized from our transformation plan and a reduction in retirement expenses partially offset the loss of leverage on the lower sales volumes, increased domestic and ocean freight costs, higher healthcare expenses and inflationary pressure. Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased 170 basis points to 32.6% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2021 compared to 34.3% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2020. Savings realized from our transformation plan and a reduction in retirement expenses were more than offset by the loss of leverage on the lower sales volumes, increased freight expense and higher healthcare expenses.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales in the third quarter and year-to-date period of fiscal year 2021 compared to the third quarter and year to date period of fiscal year 2020 increased 680 basis points and 580 basis points, respectively, due to the decline in sales volume outpacing our reduction in selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter and year-to-date period of fiscal year 2021 compared to the third quarter and year-to-date period of fiscal year 2020 decreased 1% and 9% in absolute dollars driven by reduced marketing expenses, lower commissions due to the volume decline, lower travel and entertainment expenses, savings resulting from our transformation restructuring plan, and lower retirement expense. Partially offsetting the decline in selling and administrative expenses were the incremental selling and administrative expenses of the Poppin business. Also impacting the year-to-date period comparison was lower incentive compensation resulting from lower earnings and the costs of acquiring Poppin during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. During the quarter and year to date period of fiscal year 2021 we also recorded higher selling and administrative expenses related to the normal revaluation to fair value of our Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) liability. The impact from the change in the SERP liability that was recognized in selling and administrative expenses was offset with the change in fair value of the SERP investments which was recorded in Other Income (Expense), and thus there was no effect on net income.

In the third quarter and year-to-date period of fiscal year 2021, we recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $2.6 million and $8.5 million respectively, related to phase 1 and phase 2 of our transformation restructuring plans. In the third quarter and year-to-date period of fiscal year 2020, we recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $0.8 million and $6.6 million respectively, related to phase 1 of our transformation restructuring plans. See Note 4 - Restructuring of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Other Income (Expense) consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	March 31				March 31
(Amounts in Thousands)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Interest Income	$	59	$	386	$	248	$	1,482
Interest Expense	(177)		(21)		(263)		(65)

Gain (Loss) on Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan Investments	428		(1,784)		2,567		(1,010)


Other	(117)		(294)		(133)		(350)
Other Income (Expense), net	$	193	$	(1,713)	$	2,419	$	57

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 were 39.8% and 102.1%, respectively. These rates were higher than the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to R&D tax credits, which increased the tax benefit associated with the pre-tax losses during the quarter and year-to-date periods. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 23.5%, which was less than the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily because the R&D tax credit reduced the tax provision on pre-tax income during the quarter. Our effective tax rate was 26.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, which approximated the combined federal and state statutory rate.

Comparing the balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2020, our cash balance declined and our short-term debt increased as we funded our acquisition of the Poppin business. See Note 3 - Acquisition of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for details of the purchase which drove increases in the following lines on our balance

sheet: inventories, goodwill, other intangible assets, and contingent earn-out liability. Our accounts receivable balance declined as a result of our reduced sales volumes. Our accrued expenses decreased as payments of our accrued cash incentive compensation and company retirement contribution related to our fiscal year 2020 performance were paid out during fiscal year 2021 which were not replaced with current year accrued contributions due to the downturn in business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, was $34.0 million at March 31, 2021 and $97.1 million at June 30, 2020. Our total debt was $42.6 million at March 31, 2021 and $0.1 million at June 30, 2020. We borrowed cash of $40 million and subsequently expended cash of $101.5 million for the Poppin acquisition during the first nine months of fiscal year 2021. Cash flows from operations of $27.3 million more than offset capital expenditures, including capitalized software, of $13.9 million and the return of capital to shareholders in the form of dividends totaling $10.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2021.

Working capital at March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 was $12.9 million and $123.1 million, respectively. The current ratio was 1.1 and 2.1 at March 31, 2021 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 $117.3 million at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2021, we had $1.7 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. Total availability to borrow under the credit facility totaled $83.3 million at March 31, 2021. We had no credit facility borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

We acquired Poppin, Inc. subsequent to their borrowing of a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan, and we hold restricted cash in escrow for repayment of the PPP loan. If the PPP loan is forgiven, the proceeds will be paid to the former Poppin, Inc. equity holders per the terms of the agreement and plan of merger.

Cash Flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal years 2021 and 2020.


	Nine Months Ended
	March 31
(Amounts in Thousands)	2021		2020
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	27,330	$	17,368
Net cash used for investing activities	$	(110,064)	$	(312)
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities	$	27,668	$	(13,612)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the first nine months of fiscal year 2021 net cash provided by operating activities was $27.3 million with nominal net income while the first nine months of fiscal year 2020 net cash provided by operating activities was $17.4 million inclusive of $31.9 million of net income. Changes in working capital balances provided $7.9 million of cash in the first nine months of fiscal year 2021 and used $37.0 million of cash in the first nine months of fiscal year 2020.

The $7.9 million of cash provided by changes in working capital balances in the first nine months of fiscal year 2021 was driven by a $24.1 million reduction in our accounts receivable primarily due to the reduction in our sales volume. Our accrued expenses decreased in the first nine months of fiscal year 2021 as our accrued cash incentive compensation and retirement profit sharing contribution, which together totaled $10.7 million and were related to our fiscal year 2020 performance, were paid out during the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2021.

The $37.0 million usage of cash from changes in working capital balances in the first nine months of fiscal year 2020 was driven by a reduction in our accrued expenses balance as the cash incentive compensation and retirement profit sharing contribution which were both related to our fiscal year 2019 performance were paid out during the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2020 and a reduction in accrued customer incentives as programs were altered due to COVID-19. In addition, accounts payable declined as we processed payments on the last day of March.

Our measure of accounts receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”), for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 were 34 and 31 days, respectively. The DSO increase was largely driven by the impacts of COVID-19 on sales volumes 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 nine-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 were 65 and 47 days, respectively. While inventory, excluding inventory acquired with Poppin, 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. In addition, the Poppin inventory levels acquired increased our PDSOH by approximately 7 days. 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

We expended $101.5 million of cash for the Poppin acquisition during the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2021 which is less than the $110 million initial cash consideration due to adjustments for cash acquired and cash diverted to escrow for payment of the PPP loan. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2021, we invested $10.0 million in available-for-sale securities, and $14.8 million matured. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2020, we invested $25.0 million in available-for-sale securities, and $44.5 million matured. During the current year-to-date period, our short-term investments included certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market and U.S. Treasury securities. During the first nine months of fiscal years 2021 and 2020, we reinvested $13.9 million and $19.1 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 had proceeds from borrowings on our credit facility of $40.0 million which was utilized for the Poppin acquisition. We paid dividends of $10.0 million and $9.6 million in the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Consistent with our historical dividend policy, our Board of Directors evaluates the appropriate dividend payment on a quarterly basis. Future debt payments may be paid out of cash flows from operations or from future refinancing of our debt.

Credit Facility

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, we amended our credit facility to increase our maximum borrowing available. The complete agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 4, 2020. As of March 31, 2021 we had a $125 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 $200 million, subject to participating banks’ consent. The loans under the Credit Agreement could consist of, at our election, advances in U.S. dollars or advances in any other currency that was agreed to by the lenders. The proceeds 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, was available for the issuance of letters of credit. At March 31, 2021, we had $1.7 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. At March 31, 2021 we had $40.0 million in borrowings outstanding, and at 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 interest coverage ratio. The adjusted leverage ratio was defined as (a) consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash equivalents 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, to not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0. The interest coverage ratio, for any period, of (a) Consolidated EBITDA for such period to (b) cash interest expense for such period, calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP for the trailing four quarter period then ending, to not be less than 3.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all debt covenants of the credit facility during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021.

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


	At or For the Period Ended	Limit As Specified in
Covenant	March 31, 2021	Credit Agreement	Excess
Adjusted Leverage Ratio	0.59	3.00	2.41
Interest Coverage Ratio	182.00	3.00	179.00

Future Liquidity

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. Our Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.09 per share to be paid during our fourth quarter 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 reinstated our share repurchase program during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 and plan to continue repurchasing shares when conditions are favorable. At March 31, 2021, 2.3 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 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) organic net sales, defined as net sales excluding acquisition-related net sales; (2) adjusted operating income (loss), defined as operating income (loss) excluding restructuring expenses, CEO transition costs, acquisition-related amortization and inventory valuation adjustments, costs of the acquisition and market value adjustments related to our SERP liability; (3) adjusted operating income (loss) percentage, defined as adjusted operating income (loss) as a percentage of net sales; (4) adjusted net income (loss), defined as net income (loss) excluding restructuring expenses, CEO transition costs, acquisition-related amortization and inventory valuation adjustments, and costs of the acquisition; (5) adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, defined as diluted earnings (loss) per share excluding restructuring expenses, CEO transition costs, acquisition-related amortization and inventory valuation adjustments, and costs of the acquisition; (6) adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excluding restructuring expenses, CEO transition costs, acquisition-related inventory valuation adjustments, and costs of the acquisition; 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 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, without expenses incurred in executing our transformation restructuring plan, without CEO transition costs, and without acquisition-related costs. 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, CEO Transition Costs, acquisition-related inventory valuation adjustments, and costs of the acquisition) multiplied by (1 minus Effective Tax Rate)] divided by (Total Shareholders’ Equity plus Net Debt). Net Debt is defined as short-term debt, 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. The contingent earn-out liability 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 acquisition and a discount rate that captures the risk associated with the liability.

See Note 13 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2021, there have been no material changes 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 outside the ordinary course of business other than increases related to our Poppin acquisition business such as the contingent earn out and purchase orders. See Note 3 - Acquisition of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

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 12 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q 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

Our Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management continually reviews the accounting policies and financial information disclosures. A summary of the more significant accounting policies that require the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements is provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2021, there were no material changes in the accounting policies and assumptions previously disclosed.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Supplemental Information of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for information regarding New Accounting Standards.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained within this document are considered forward-looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The statements generally can be identified by the use of words or phrases, including, but not limited to “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “plan,” “expect,” “setting up,” “beginning to,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “resume,” or similar statements. We caution that forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual future results and performance to differ materially from expected results, including, but not limited to, the possibility that any of the anticipated benefits of the Poppin acquisition will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period; the risk that integration of the operations of Poppin with the Company will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected; the risk that any projections or guidance by the Company, including revenues, margins, earnings, or any other financial results are not realized; adverse changes in global economic conditions; successful execution of Phase 2 of the Company’s restructuring plan; the impact on the Company of changes in tariffs; increased global competition; significant reduction in customer order patterns; loss of key suppliers; loss of or significant volume reductions from key contract customers; financial stability of key customers and suppliers; relationships with strategic customers and product distributors; availability or cost of raw materials and components; changes in the regulatory environment; global health concerns (including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic); or similar unforeseen events. Additional cautionary statements regarding other risk factors that could have an effect on the future performance of the Company are contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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, foam, and plastics. These components are impacted by global pricing pressures, general economic conditions, and changes in tariff rates. 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 may continue to remain at elevated levels depending on freight carrier capacity and fuel prices. Transportation costs are managed by optimizing logistics and supply chain planning.

During fiscal year 2021, we have experienced market price increases in certain commodities and transportation costs. There have been no material changes to other market risks, including interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, from the information disclosed in Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

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 March 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. A comprehensive disclosure of risk factors related to Kimball International can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We are including the following revised risk factors to update the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the revised risk factors should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020. In addition, many of our other risk factors could be exacerbated by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and any worsening of the global business and economic environment as a result. For more information on our forward-looking statements, see the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Quarterly Report.

A shortage of freight carrier capacity coupled with high demand for freight could drive sustained 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 domestic and international contract carriers. We may experience a continuation of elevated ocean and domestic freight costs. In periods of tight freight capacity resulting from events such as the worldwide shipping container shortage and elevated shipping demand driven by the pandemic, we may be unable to mitigate elevated freight costs through our supply chain planning or by increasing prices on our products quickly, which could adversely affect our profitability.

We operate with leverage, and restrictions imposed by the terms of our indebtedness may limit our operating and financial flexibility. Our credit agreement requires us to maintain certain financial covenants, the most significant of which are the adjusted leverage ratio and the interest coverage ratio. Although we believe none of the covenants are currently restrictive to our operations, our ability to meet the financial covenants could be affected by events beyond our control. The extent of any impact would depend on several factors, including our operating cash flows, credit market conditions, our credit capacity, the cost of financing, and other general economic and business conditions.

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.
