Description of Business

Phibro Animal Health Corporation (“Phibro” or “PAHC”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) is a diversified global developer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of animal health and mineral nutrition products for food animals including poultry, swine, cattle, dairy and aquaculture. The Company is also a manufacturer and marketer of performance products for use in the personal care, automotive, industrial chemical and chemical catalyst industries. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in this report to “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar expressions refer to Phibro and its subsidiaries.

The unaudited consolidated financial information for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, is presented on the same basis as the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 (the “Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2017 (File no. 001-36410). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods, and the adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2017, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Phibro and its consolidated subsidiaries, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phibro and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The decision whether or not to consolidate an entity requires consideration of majority voting interests, as well as effective control over the entity.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report. As of March 31, 2018, there have been no material changes to any of the significant accounting policies contained therein, except for the addition of our policy on short-term investments.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments include highly liquid investments with maturities of greater than three months and less than one year at the time of purchase. These investments are classified as held to maturity and related interest income is recorded as earned. We determine the appropriate balance sheet classification at the time of purchase and at each balance sheet date. Investments held at financial institutions may at times exceed insured amounts. We believe we mitigate such risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.

Net Income per Share and Weighted Average Shares

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.

Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period after giving effect to potential dilutive common shares resulting from the assumed exercise of stock options. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, all common share equivalents were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share.

New Accounting Standards

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-2, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income allows reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of stranded tax effects related to adjustments resulting from the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities simplifies the application of hedge accounting guidance and improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we elected early adoption of this guidance and applied the qualitative method, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. For additional details, see “—Derivatives.”

ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, provides specific guidance for the classification of certain transactions within the statement of cash flows. The issues addressed by this guidance include, but are not limited to, debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted, as long as all provisions under the guidance are applied simultaneously. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a retrospective transition approach. We do not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), supersedes the current lease accounting guidance, requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities for both financing and operating leases on the balance sheet and requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating the effect of adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value (“NRV”). NRV is defined as “the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.” We adopted this guidance during the three months ended September 30, 2017, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), establishes principles for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The underlying principle is to identify the performance obligations of a contract, allocate the revenue to each performance obligation and then to recognize revenue when the company satisfies a specific performance obligation of the contract. ASU 2014-09 and its amendments are effective for our consolidated financial statements beginning July 1, 2018. We expect to apply the new standard using the modified retrospective method. We have not completed our

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

evaluation of the new standard; thus far, we have not identified any matters that would have a material impact on the timing or amount of revenue recognized for our typical sales transactions.

In September 2017, we acquired a business for $15,000. The business develops, manufactures and markets animal health products. We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Pro forma information giving effect to the acquisition has not been provided because the results are not material to the consolidated financial statements. Net assets acquired included accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. We may further refine the determination of certain assets and liabilities during the measurement period. The business is included in the Animal Health segment.

Debt

Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facilities

Pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), we have a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), where we can borrow up to $250,000, subject to the terms of the agreement, and a term A loan with an aggregate initial principal amount of $250,000 (the “Term A Loan,” and together with the Revolver, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities have applicable margins equal to 2.00%, 1.75% or 1.50%, in the case of LIBOR and Eurodollar rate loans and 1.00%, 0.75% or 0.50%, in the case of base rate loans; the applicable margins are based on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The libor rate is subject to a floor of 0.00%.

The Credit Facilities require, among other things, the maintenance of (i) a maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and (ii) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, each calculated on a trailing four quarter basis, and contain an acceleration clause should an event of default (as defined in the agreement governing the Credit Facilities) occur. As of March 31, 2018, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facilities. The Credit Facilities mature on June 29, 2022.

As of March 31, 2018, we had $65,500 in borrowings under the Revolver and had outstanding letters of credit of $4,469, leaving $180,031 available for borrowings and letters of credit under the Revolver. We obtain letters of credit in connection with certain regulatory and insurance obligations, inventory purchases and other contractual obligations. The terms of these letters of credit are one year or less.

The weighted-average interest rates for the Revolver and Term A Loan were 3.07% and 3.32%, respectively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In July 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on $150 million of notional principal that effectively converts the floating LIBOR or base rate portion of our interest obligation on that amount of debt, to a fixed interest rate of 1.8325% plus the applicable rate. The agreement matures concurrent with the Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap has been designated as a highly effective cash flow hedge. For additional details, see “—Derivatives.”

Related Party Transactions

Certain relatives of Jack C. Bendheim, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, provided services to us as employees or consultants and received aggregate compensation and benefits of approximately $367 and $1,496 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, and $339 and $1,387 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively. Mr. Bendheim has sole authority to vote shares of our stock owned by BFI Co., LLC, an investment vehicle of the Bendheim family.

Employee Benefit Plans

The Company maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) for all domestic nonunion employees employed on or prior to December 31, 2013, who meet certain requirements of age, length of service and hours worked per year. Plan benefits are based upon years of service and average compensation, as defined.

We amended the Pension Plan to eliminate credit for future service and compensation increases, effective as of September 30, 2016. The amendment resulted in a pension curtailment gain of $6,822 recorded in other comprehensive income during the three months ended September 30, 2016, and an offsetting reduction in the liability for pension benefits included in other liabilities. Separately, we recognized a charge of $1,702 associated with a partial settlement of the Pension Plan during the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Income Taxes

The United States government enacted comprehensive income tax legislation (the “Tax Act”) in December 2017. The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to United States income tax law and includes numerous elements that affect the Company, including a reduced federal corporate income tax rate and changes to business-related exclusions, deductions and credits. Our provision for income taxes reflects a statutory 28.1% weighted-average federal income tax rate and other elements of the Tax Act in effect for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The statutory federal income tax rate will be 21.0% for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. The Tax Act also has consequences related to our international operations.

and may adjust such amounts as we complete our analysis. The final financial statement effects of the Tax Act may differ from the provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations, legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations, or any updates or changes to estimates we have utilized.

Our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018, and for the nine months then ended, reflect the estimated effects of the Tax Act, including:

•

a $2,450 provision for income taxes and reduction in deferred tax assets for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the reduced income tax rate

•

a $4,249 provision for income taxes and increase in current and long-term liabilities to reflect the one-time mandatory toll charge on the deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental

Our operations and properties are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, including those governing pollution; protection of the environment; the use, management, and release of hazardous materials, substances and wastes; air emissions; greenhouse gas emissions; water use, supply and discharges; the investigation and remediation of contamination; the manufacture, distribution, and sale of regulated materials, including pesticides; the importing, exporting and transportation of products; and the health and safety of our employees (collectively, “Environmental Laws”). As such, the nature of our current and former operations exposes us to the risk of claims with respect to such matters, including fines, penalties, and remediation obligations that may be imposed by regulatory authorities. Under certain circumstances, we might be required to curtail operations until a particular problem is remedied. Known costs and expenses under Environmental Laws incidental to ongoing operations, including the cost of litigation proceedings relating to environmental matters, are included within operating results. Potential costs and expenses may also be incurred in connection with the repair or upgrade of facilities to meet existing or new requirements under Environmental Laws or to investigate or remediate potential or actual contamination and from time to time we establish reserves for such contemplated investigation and remediation costs. In many instances, the ultimate costs under Environmental Laws and the time period during which such costs are likely to be incurred are difficult to predict.

While we believe that our operations are currently in material compliance with Environmental Laws, we have, from time to time, received notices of violation from governmental authorities, and have been involved in civil or criminal action for such violations. Additionally, at various sites, our subsidiaries are engaged in continuing investigation, remediation and/or monitoring efforts to address contamination associated with historic operations of the sites. We devote considerable resources to complying with Environmental Laws and managing environmental liabilities. We have developed programs to identify requirements under, and maintain compliance with Environmental Laws; however, we cannot predict with certainty the effect of increased and more stringent regulation on our operations, future capital expenditure requirements, or the cost of compliance.

The nature of our current and former operations exposes us to the risk of claims with respect to environmental matters and we cannot assure we will not incur material costs and liabilities in connection with such claims. Based upon our experience to date, we believe that the future cost of compliance with existing Environmental Laws, and liabilities for known environmental claims pursuant to such Environmental Laws, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) is investigating and planning for the remediation of offsite contaminated groundwater that has migrated from the Omega Chemical Corporation Superfund Site (“Omega Chemical Site”), which is upgradient of a facility in Santa Fe Springs,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

California, operated by our subsidiary Phibro-Tech, Inc. (“Phibro-Tech”). The EPA has named Phibro-Tech and certain other subsidiaries of PAHC as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) due to groundwater contamination from Phibro-Tech’s Santa Fe Springs facility that has allegedly commingled with contaminated groundwater from the Omega Chemical Site. In September 2012, the EPA notified approximately 140 PRPs, including Phibro-Tech and the other subsidiaries, that they have been identified as potentially responsible for remedial action for the groundwater plume affected by the Omega Chemical Site and for EPA oversight and response costs. Phibro-Tech contends that groundwater contamination at its site is due to historical operations that pre-date Phibro-Tech and/or contaminated groundwater that has migrated from upgradient properties. In addition, a successor to a prior owner of the Phibro-Tech site has asserted that PAHC and Phibro-Tech are obligated to provide indemnification for its potential liability and defense costs relating to the groundwater plume affected by the Omega Chemical Site. Phibro-Tech has vigorously contested this position and has asserted that the successor to the prior owner is required to indemnify Phibro-Tech for its potential liability and defense costs. Furthermore, a group of companies that sent chemicals to the Omega Chemical Site for processing and recycling has filed a complaint under CERCLA and RCRA in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against many of the PRPs allegedly associated with the groundwater plume affected by the Omega Chemical Site (including Phibro-Tech) for contribution toward past and future costs associated with the investigation and remediation of the groundwater plume affected by the Omega Chemical Site. Due to the ongoing nature of the EPA’s investigation, the preliminary stage of the ongoing litigation and Phibro-Tech’s dispute with the prior owner’s successor, at this time we cannot predict with any degree of certainty what, if any, liability Phibro-Tech or the other subsidiaries may ultimately have for investigation, remediation and the EPA oversight and response costs associated with the affected groundwater plume.

Based upon information available, to the extent such costs can be estimated with reasonable certainty, we estimated the cost for further investigation and remediation of identified soil and groundwater problems at operating sites, closed sites and third-party sites, and closure costs for closed sites, to be approximately $6,863 and $7,211 at March 31, 2018, and June 30, 2017, respectively, which is included in current and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. However, future events, such as new information, changes in existing Environmental Laws or their interpretation, and more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, may give rise to additional expenditures or liabilities that could be material. For all purposes of the discussion under this caption and elsewhere in this report, it should be noted that we take and have taken the position that neither PAHC nor any of our subsidiaries is liable for environmental or other claims made against one or more of our other subsidiaries or for which any of such other subsidiaries may ultimately be responsible.

Claims and Litigation

PAHC and its subsidiaries are party to a number of claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business including product liabilities, payment disputes and governmental regulation. Certain of these actions seek damages in various amounts. In many cases, such claims are covered by insurance. We believe that none of the claims or pending lawsuits, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

10.

Derivatives

We monitor our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and from time-to-time use derivatives to manage certain of these risks. We designate derivatives as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of the cash flows to be received or paid in the future related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). All changes in the fair value of a highly effective cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

We routinely assess whether the derivatives used to hedge transactions are effective. If we determine a derivative ceases to be an effective hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting in the period of the assessment for that derivative, and immediately recognize any unrealized gains or losses related to the fair value of that derivative in the consolidated statements of operations.

The foreign currency derivatives generally had a maturity of two years or less; no foreign currency derivatives were outstanding as of March 31, 2018, due to the expiration of previously held contracts. The foreign currency derivatives were designated to hedge cash flows related to the purchase of inventory. We recognize gains (losses) related to these foreign currency derivatives as a component of cost of goods sold at the time the hedged item is sold. Realized gains of $2,740 and $966 related to matured contracts were recorded as a component of inventory as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively. We recognized gains of $1,480 as an offset to costs of goods sold during the nine months ended March 31, 2018. We anticipate the gains included in inventory as of March 31, 2018, will be recognized as an offset to cost of goods sold within the next six months.

In July 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on $150,000 of notional principal that effectively converts the floating LIBOR or base rate portion of our interest obligation on that amount of debt, to a fixed interest rate of 1.8325% plus the applicable rate. The agreement matures concurrent with the Credit Agreement. The forecasted transactions are probable of occurring, and the interest rate swap has been designated as a highly effective cash flow hedge. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is recorded as an asset or liability with a corresponding amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

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

Introduction

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) is provided to assist readers in understanding our performance, as reflected in the results of our operations, our financial condition and our cash flows. The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows as of and for the periods presented below. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our future results could differ materially from our historical performance as a result of various factors such as those discussed in “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview of our business

Phibro Animal Health Corporation is a global diversified animal health and mineral nutrition company. We develop, manufacture and market a broad range of products for food animals including poultry, swine, beef and dairy cattle and aquaculture. Our products help prevent, control and treat diseases, enhance nutrition to help improve health and performance and contribute to balanced mineral nutrition. We also manufacture and market specific ingredients for use in the personal care, automotive, industrial chemical and chemical catalyst industries.

Trends and uncertainties

Our business depends heavily on a healthy and growing livestock industry. Some in the public perceive risks to human health related to the consumption of food derived from animals that utilize certain of our products, including certain of our MFA products. In particular, there is increased focus, primarily in the United States, on the use of medically important antimicrobials, as defined by the FDA. Medically important antimicrobials (“MIAs”) include classes that are prescribed in animal and human health and are listed in the Appendix of the FDA-CVM Guidance for Industry (GFI) 152. Our products that contain virginiamycin, oxytetracycline or neomycin have previously been classified by the FDA as medically important antimicrobials. This may lead to a decline in the demand for and production of food products derived from animals that utilize our MIA products and, in turn, demand for our MIA products. Livestock producers may experience decreased demand for their products or reputational harm as a result of evolving consumer views of nutrition and health-related concerns, animal rights, and other concerns. Any reputational harm to the livestock industry may also extend to companies in related industries, including us. In addition, campaigns by interest groups, activists and others with respect to perceived risks associated with the use of our products in animals, including position statements by livestock producers and their customers based on non-use of certain medicated products in livestock production, whether or not scientifically-supported, could affect public perceptions and reduce the use of our products. Those adverse consumer views related to the use of one or more of our products in animals could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our sales in the United States of products classified by the FDA as medically important antimicrobials were approximately $17 million and $23 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

Our business is subject to product registration and authorization regulations. Changes in the regulations could have a material impact on our business. In April 2016, the FDA began initial steps to withdraw approval of Mecadox (carbadox), due to concerns that certain residues from the product may persist in tissues for longer than previously determined. This initial action by the FDA does not prohibit the sale or use of Mecadox in the United States. In July 2016, we submitted our data, analyses and information to the FDA that we believe support the continued safe use of Mecadox. In March 2018, the FDA indefinitely stayed the withdrawal proceedings; however, the proceedings remain ongoing and the timing of the FDA’s ultimate response to our submission is not subject to a predetermined deadline. Should we be unable to successfully defend the safety of the product, the loss of Mecadox sales would have a negative effect on the results of our operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our sales in the United States of Mecadox were approximately $12 million and $14 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

Recent Developments

We have recorded reasonable estimates of the effects of the Tax Act; however, we have not completed the analysis of all necessary information, including our assessment of a potential provision for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income wherein taxes on certain foreign income are imposed in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. As such, we have recorded provisional amounts and may adjust such amounts as we complete our analysis. The final financial statement effects of the Tax Act may differ from the provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations, legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations, or any updates or changes to estimates we have utilized.

Our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018, and for the nine months then ended, reflect the estimated effects of the Tax Act, including:

•

a $2.5 million provision for income taxes and reduction in deferred tax assets for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the reduced income tax rate

•

a $4.2 million provision for income taxes and increase in current and long-term liabilities to reflect the one-time mandatory toll charge on the deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

Net sales

Net sales of $208.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, increased $19.0 million, or 10%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Animal Health, Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products grew $11.3 million, $5.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Animal Health

Net sales of $132.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, grew $11.3 million, or 9%. Net sales of MFAs and other grew $6.6 million or 9%. International net sales of MFAs and other increased $5.6 million due to growth across most regions, notably due to additional penetration in the cattle sector, plus favorable seasonal demand for certain products and the incremental benefit of a recent acquisition. Domestic net sales of MFAs and other increased $1.0 million due to volume growth of certain products. Domestic sales of medically important antimicrobials were approximately level with the prior year. Net sales of nutritional specialty products grew $3.8 million, or 14%, primarily due to volume growth of our products for the dairy and poultry industries in various international countries and in the United States. Net sales of vaccines grew $1.0 million, or 6%, primarily due to volume growth in international markets; domestic growth was moderate due to reduced disease pressure.

Mineral Nutrition

Net sales of $62.9 million increased $5.8 million, or 10%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increased revenue primarily was driven by higher average selling prices, consistent with the underlying raw material commodity price increases.

Performance Products

Net sales of $13.7 million increased $1.9 million, or 17%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, due to increased volumes and higher average selling prices of copper-based products.

Gross profit

Gross profit of $69.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, increased $8.4 million, or 14%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Gross profit increased to 33.1% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to 31.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Animal Health gross profit increased $7.5 million due to volume growth and favorable seasonal demand for certain MFAs and other products, volume growth of nutritional specialty products and vaccines and overall lower unit costs from improved manufacturing efficiencies for certain of our products. Mineral Nutrition gross profit increased $1.1 million, driven by volume growth and higher average selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Performance Products gross profit was in-line with the prior year as volume growth and increased pricing of copper-based products were offset by increased commodity costs of copper-based products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $42.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, increased $11.9 million, or 39%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded a $7.5 million gain in SG&A resulting from a payment to us in settlement of our claims against an insurance carrier under our liability insurance policies. Without the effects of the gain on the insurance settlement, SG&A increased $4.4 million or 12%.

Animal Health SG&A increased $2.8 million as compared to the prior year, driven by investments in product and organization development. A recent acquisition also contributed to the Animal Health increase. Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products SG&A were approximately level with the prior year. Excluding the prior-year insurance settlement, Corporate expense increased $1.6 million primarily due to increased employee-related costs and higher professional fees.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, decreased $0.9 million, or 22%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Interest expense decreased $1.0 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower interest rates in the new Credit Facilities completed in June 2017. Interest income decreased $0.1 million due to less interest income on deposits in foreign jurisdictions.

Foreign currency (gains) losses, net

Foreign currency (gains) losses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018, amounted to net gains of $1.0 million, as compared to net gains of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The strengthening of the Mexican currency relative to the U.S. dollar was the primary reason for the foreign currency gains during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Foreign currency gains and losses primarily arise from intercompany balances.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

The provision for income taxes, effective income tax rate and certain income tax items for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, are reflected in the table below:

For the Three Months Ended March 31	2018			2017
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Provision (benefit) for income taxes		$	4,548		$	2,805
Effective income tax rate			18.6%			10.6%
Certain income tax items
Benefit from exercised employee stock options		$	(1,038)		$	(1,442)
Release of unrecognized tax benefits			(758)			—
Release of foreign valuation allowance			—			(3,780)
Total		$	(1,796)		$	(5,222)
Provision (benefit) for income taxes, excluding certain items		$	6,344		$	8,027
Effective income tax rate, excluding certain items			26.0%			30.4%

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we concluded it was more likely than not that the value of deferred tax assets related to a foreign subsidiary would be realized, resulting in the release of a foreign valuation allowance.

Net income

Net income of $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, decreased $3.8 million, as compared to net income of $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease primarily was driven by a $3.5 million decline in operating income, partially offset by lower interest expense of $0.9 million and increased foreign currency gains of $0.6 million, and a $1.7 million increase in the income tax provision. The decline in operating income primarily was influenced by the prior-year $7.5 million insurance settlement gain. Excluding this gain, operating income would have increased $4.0 million or 18%, driven by sales growth and gross profit expansion.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA of $33.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, increased $3.7 million, or 12%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. Animal Health Adjusted EBITDA increased $4.5 million, or 14%, due to sales growth and increased gross profit, partially offset by increased SG&A. Mineral Nutrition Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.0 million, or 24%, due to volume growth and higher average selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Performance Products

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Adjusted EBITDA was similar to the prior year as higher volumes and selling prices were offset by higher raw material costs. Corporate expenses increased $1.8 million as compared to the prior year, primarily due to increased employee-related costs and higher professional fees.

Comparison of nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

Net sales

Net sales of $608.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, increased $38.8 million, or 7%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Animal Health, Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products grew $24.8 million, $9.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

Animal Health

Net sales of $394.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, grew $24.8 million, or 7%. Net sales of MFAs and other grew $7.3 million, or 3%. International net sales of MFAs and other increased $21.1 million due to growth across most regions, notably due to additional penetration in the cattle sector, plus favorable seasonal demand for certain products and the incremental benefit of a recent acquisition. Domestic net sales of MFAs and other declined $13.7 million due to $5.9 million lower sales of medically important antimicrobials and unfavorable timing of certain customer orders. We believe domestic sales of medically important antimicrobials have stabilized at current levels. Net sales of nutritional specialty products grew $11.6 million, or 14%, primarily due to volume growth of our products for the poultry and dairy industries in various international countries and in the United States. Net sales of vaccines grew $5.9 million, or 12%, primarily due to volume growth in international markets; domestic growth was moderate due to reduced disease pressure.

Mineral Nutrition

Net sales of $174.6 million increased $9.2 million, or 6%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The increased revenue primarily was driven by higher average selling prices, consistent with the underlying raw material commodity price increases.

Performance Products

Net sales of $39.6 million increased $4.7 million, or 14%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, due to increased volumes of copper-based and personal care products and higher average selling prices of copper-based products.

Gross profit

Gross profit of $199.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, increased $14.3 million, or 8%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Gross profit increased to 32.8% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to 32.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. The nine months ended March 31, 2018, included $1.7 million of acquisition-related cost of goods sold. Excluding the effects of the acquisition-related cost of goods sold, Animal Health gross profit increased $14.7 million due to volume growth, primarily in nutritional specialty products, vaccines and international MFAs and other, partially offset by declines in domestic MFAs and other sales, particularly a reduction in the net sales of medically important antimicrobials. Favorable seasonal demand for certain MFAs and other products and overall lower unit costs from improved manufacturing efficiencies for certain products also contributed to the gross profit increase. Mineral Nutrition gross profit increased $1.8 million due to volume growth, favorable product mix and higher average selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Performance Products gross profit decreased $0.5 million due to higher raw material costs of copper-based products, partially offset by increased volumes of copper-based and personal care products and higher average selling prices of copper-based products.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A of $126.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, increased $15.9 million, or 14%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2017. SG&A for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, included acquisition-related transaction costs of $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. SG&A for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, also included a $1.7 million charge for a partial settlement of the pension plan and a $7.5 million gain from an insurance settlement. Excluding these items, SG&A increased $10.9 million or 9%.

Animal Health SG&A increased $9.1 million as compared to the prior year, driven by investments in product and organization development. A recent acquisition also contributed to the Animal Health increase. Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products SG&A increased $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Excluding the acquisition-related transaction costs, the pension settlement cost and the insurance settlement gain, Corporate SG&A increased $1.5 million due to increased employee-related costs and higher professional fees, partially offset by reduced pension expense.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net of $9.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, decreased $2.5 million, or 21%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Interest expense decreased $3.2 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower interest rates in the new Credit Facilities completed in June 2017. Interest income decreased $0.7 million due to less interest income on deposits in foreign jurisdictions.

Foreign currency (gains) losses, net

Foreign currency (gains) losses, net for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, amounted to net gains of ($1.0) million, as compared to net gains of ($0.6) million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. The increased foreign currency gains during the nine months ended March 31, 2018, primarily were driven by the movement of the currencies of Brazil, South Africa, Turkey and Mexico relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency gains and losses primarily arise from intercompany balances.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

The provision for income taxes, effective income tax rate and certain income tax items for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, are reflected in the table below:

For the Nine Months Ended March 31	2018			2017
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Provision (benefit) for income taxes		$	21,779		$	14,087
Effective income tax rate			33.7%			22.2%

Effective income tax rate, excluding certain items			27.4%			30.5%

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Tax Act included a mandatory toll charge on deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

The reduction of deferred tax assets results from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, to reflect the reduced federal statutory income tax rate from the Tax Act.

The reduction of foreign deferred tax assets results from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets, to reflect a reduced income tax rate in certain international jurisdictions.

The reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) reflects the reclassification of income taxes remaining in AOCI, after all related foreign currency derivatives had matured and were completely cleared from AOCI.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, we concluded it was more likely than not that the value of deferred tax assets related to a foreign subsidiary would be realized, resulting in the release of a foreign valuation allowance.

Net income

Net income of $42.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, decreased $6.5 million, as compared to net income of $49.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease primarily was driven by a $1.6 million decline in operating income, partially offset by lower interest expense of $2.5 million and increased foreign currency gains of $0.3 million, and a $7.7 million increase in the income tax provision. The decline in operating income primarily was influenced by infrequent items including: current-year acquisition-related cost of goods sold; prior-year gain from an insurance settlement; prior-year cost of a partial pension settlement; and the net effect of acquisition-related transaction costs, as previously discussed. Excluding the impacts of these items, operating income would have increased $5.0 million or 7%, driven by sales growth and gross profit expansion.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA of $96.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, increased $5.2 million, or 6%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Animal Health Adjusted EBITDA increased $6.0 million, or 6%, due to sales growth and increased gross profit, partially offset by increased SG&A. Mineral Nutrition Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.6 million, or 12%, due to volume growth, favorable product mix and higher average selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Performance Products Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $0.6 million, due to higher raw material costs, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Corporate expenses increased $1.9 million primarily due to increased employee-related costs and higher professional fees, partially offset by reduced pension costs.

Pension Plan and Retirement Savings Plan Changes

We amended our domestic noncontributory defined benefit pension plan to eliminate credit for future service and compensation increases, effective as of September 30, 2016. The amendment resulted in a pension curtailment gain of $6.8 million recorded in other comprehensive income during the three months ended September 30, 2016 with an offsetting reduction in the liability for pension benefits included in other liabilities. Separately, during the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a $1.7 million charge associated with a partial settlement of the pension plan. The charge was recorded as a component of SG&A.

Concurrent with the pension plan amendments, we modified the 401(k) retirement savings plan effective October 1, 2016, to include, for all domestic employees, a non-elective Company contribution of 3% of compensation and an additional discretionary contribution of up to 4% of compensation, depending on the employee’s age and years of service.

Certain amounts may reflect rounding adjustments.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $59.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Cash provided by net income, adjusted for the effect of non-cash charges, was partially offset by $15.7 million of cash used in the ordinary course of business for changes in operating assets and liabilities and other items. Increased inventories used $21.7 million of cash due to the timing of sales, purchases and production and increased commodity costs of mineral nutrition products. A $6.8 million source of cash from increased accounts payable was primarily related to the timing of payments for inventory purchases.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $74.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. We invested $45.0 million in short-term investments. We used $13.0 million for capital expenditures as we continued to invest in our existing asset base and for capacity expansion and productivity improvements. We used $15.0 million for the acquisition of a business. Other investing activities used $1.6 million of cash.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Financing activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $11.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. We received $5.3 million from the issuance of common shares related to the exercise of employee stock options. We paid $12.0 million in dividends to holders of our Class A and Class B common stock. We paid $4.8 million in scheduled debt and other requirements. Net borrowings on our Revolver provided $0.5 million.

Liquidity and capital resources

We believe our cash on hand, our operating cash flows and our financing arrangements, including the availability of borrowings under the Revolver and foreign credit lines, will be sufficient to support our future cash needs. Our operating plan projects adequate liquidity throughout the year. However, we can provide no assurance that our liquidity and capital resources will be adequate for future funding requirements. We believe we will be able to comply with the terms of the covenants under the Credit Facilities and foreign credit lines based on our operating plan. In the event of adverse operating results and/or violation of covenants under the facilities, there can be no assurance we would be able to obtain waivers or amendments. Other risks to our meeting future funding requirements include global economic conditions and macroeconomic, business and financial disruptions that could arise. There can be no assurance that a challenging economic environment or an economic downturn would not affect our liquidity or our ability to obtain future financing. In addition, our debt covenants may restrict our ability to invest.

Certain relevant measures of our liquidity and capital resources follow:

As of	March 31, 2018			June 30, 2017			Change
	(in thousands, except ratios)
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments		$	75,553		$	56,083		$	19,470
Working capital			214,349			198,036			16,313
Ratio of current assets to current liabilities			2.82:1			2.81:1

We define working capital as total current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments) less total current liabilities (excluding current portion of long-term debt). We calculate the ratio of current assets to current liabilities based on this definition.

At March 31, 2018, we had $65.5 million in outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. We had outstanding letters of credit and other commitments of $4.5 million, leaving $180.0 million available for borrowings and letters of credit.

We currently intend to pay quarterly dividends of $0.10 per share, representing $16.1 million annually on our Class A and Class B common stock, subject to approval from the Board of Directors. We declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.10 per share on Class A and Class B common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2018. On May 7, 2018, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share on each share of our Class A and Class B common stock outstanding on the record date of June 6, 2018, payable on June 27, 2018.

At March 31, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments included $75.6 million held by our international subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on cash distributions to PAHC from our international subsidiaries.

Contractual obligations

As of March 31, 2018, there were no material changes in payments due under contractual obligations from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not currently use off-balance sheet arrangements for the purpose of credit enhancement, hedging transactions, investment or other financial purposes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In the ordinary course of business, we may indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise. These indemnifications typically pertain to environmental matters. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we would be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications generally are subject to certain restrictions and limitations.

General description of non-GAAP financial measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is an alternative view of performance used by management as our primary operating measure, and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. We report Adjusted EBITDA to portray the results of our operations prior to considering certain income statement elements. We have defined EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for income taxes or less benefit for income taxes, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We have defined Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (a) (income) loss from, and disposal of, discontinued operations, (b) other expense or less other income, as separately reported on our consolidated statements of operations, including foreign currency gains and losses and loss on extinguishment of debt, and (c) certain items that we consider to be unusual, non-operational or non-recurring. The Adjusted EBITDA measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP reported net income.

The Adjusted EBITDA measure is an important internal measurement for us. We measure our overall performance on this basis in conjunction with other performance metrics. The following are examples of how our Adjusted EBITDA measure is utilized:

•

senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an Adjusted EBITDA basis;

•

our annual budgets are prepared on an Adjusted EBITDA basis; and

•

other goal setting and performance measurements are prepared on an Adjusted EBITDA basis.

Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Because of its non-standardized definition, Adjusted EBITDA, unlike GAAP net income, may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.

We also recognize that, as an internal measure of performance, the Adjusted EBITDA measure has limitations, and we do not restrict our performance management process solely to this metric. A limitation of the Adjusted EBITDA measure is that it provides a view of our operations without including all events during a period, such as the depreciation of property, plant and equipment or amortization of purchased intangibles, and does not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies.

Certain significant items

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering certain items. We evaluate such items on an individual basis. Such evaluation considers both the quantitative and the qualitative aspect of their unusual or non-operational nature. Unusual, in this context, may represent items that are not part of our ongoing business; items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. An example of an unusual item is the loss on extinguishment of debt incurred in fiscal year 2017. We consider foreign currency gains and losses to be non-operational because they arise principally from intercompany transactions and are largely non-cash in nature. We evaluate the provision (benefit) for income taxes after excluding certain items that we consider unusual or non-operational in nature.

New accounting standards

For discussion of new accounting standards, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards.”

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Not all of these significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. However, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant estimates include depreciation and amortization periods of long-lived and intangible assets, recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, realizability of deferred income tax and value-added tax assets, legal and environmental matters and actuarial assumptions related to our pension plans. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report. As of March 31, 2018, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “potential,” “project,” “projection,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “believe,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “can,” “can have,” “likely,” the negatives thereof and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, revenues, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies, or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected. Examples of such risks and uncertainties include:

•

perceived adverse effects on human health linked to the consumption of food derived from animals that utilize our products could cause a decline in the sales of those products;

•

restrictions on the use of antibacterials in food-producing animals may become more prevalent;

•

a material portion of our sales and gross profits are generated by antibacterials and other related products;

•

competition in each of our markets from a number of large and small companies, some of which have greater financial, research and development (“R&D”), production and other resources than we have;

•

the impact of current and future laws and regulatory changes;

•

outbreaks of animal diseases could significantly reduce demand for our products;

•

our ability to successfully implement several of our strategic initiatives;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

our business may be negatively affected by weather conditions and the availability of natural resources;

•

the continuing trend toward consolidation of certain customer groups as well as the emergence of large buying groups;

•

our ability to control costs and expenses;

•

any unforeseen material loss or casualty;

•

exposure relating to rising costs and reduced customer income;

•

competition deriving from advances in veterinary medical practices and animal health technologies;

•

unanticipated safety or efficacy concerns;

•

our dependence on suppliers having current regulatory approvals;

•

our raw materials are subject to price fluctuations and their availability can be limited;

•

natural and man-made disasters, including but not limited to fire, snow and ice storms, flood, hail, hurricanes and earthquakes;

•

terrorist attacks, particularly attacks on or within markets in which we operate;

•

our reliance on the continued operation of our manufacturing facilities and application of our intellectual property;

•

adverse U.S. and international economic market conditions, including currency fluctuations;

•

the risks of product liability claims, legal proceedings and general litigation expenses;

•

our dependence on our Israeli and Brazilian operations;

•

our substantial level of indebtedness and related debt-service obligations;

•

restrictions imposed by covenants in our debt agreements;

•

the risk of work stoppages; and

•

other factors as described in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. of the Annual Report.

While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Report. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.

We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences we anticipate or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In the normal course of operations, we are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. As a result, future earnings, cash flows and fair values of assets and liabilities are subject to uncertainty. We use, from time to time, foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps as a means of hedging exposure to foreign currency risks and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

fluctuating interest rates, respectively. We also utilize, on a limited basis, certain commodity derivatives, primarily on copper used in manufacturing processes, to hedge the cost of anticipated purchase or supply requirements. We do not utilize derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We do not hedge our exposure to market risks in a manner that completely eliminates the effects of changing market conditions on earnings, cash flows and fair values. We monitor the financial stability and credit standing of our major counterparties.

For financial market risks related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, reference is made to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk” section in the Annual Report and to the notes to the consolidated financial statements included therein. There were no material changes in the Company’s financial market risks from the risks disclosed in the Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation as of March 31, 2018, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Management’s Remediation Plan

We are in the process of implementing a broad range of changes to our internal control over financial reporting to remediate the material weaknesses that existed as of June 30, 2017. Our actions to address material weaknesses have included the design and implementation of additional formal accounting policies and procedures to ensure transactions are properly initiated, recorded, processed, reported, appropriately authorized and approved. Also, our efforts to ensure maintenance of the appropriate level of segregation of duties includes restricting access to key financial systems and records to appropriate users. We are determining the extent it is necessary to limit access by and modify responsibilities of certain personnel, as well as designing and implementing additional user access controls and compensating controls. We will continue to build on the progress we have made in our remediation plan. We cannot determine when our remediation plan will be fully completed, and we cannot provide any assurance that these remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
