Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company” or “we,” which reference shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be deemed to refer to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and all of its direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) is engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter (“OTC”) healthcare products to mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets. Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. is a holding company with no operations and is also the parent guarantor of the senior credit facility and the senior notes described in Note 7 to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Economic Environment
There has been economic uncertainty in the United States and globally due to several factors, including global supply chain constraints, rising interest rates, a high inflationary environment and geopolitical events. We expect economic conditions will continue to be highly volatile and uncertain, put pressure on prices and supply, and could affect demand for our products. We have continued to see changes in the purchasing patterns of our consumers, including a reduction in the frequency of visits to retailers and a shift in many markets to purchasing our products online.
The volatile environment has impacted the supply of labor and raw materials and exacerbated rising input costs. Although we have not experienced a material disruption to our overall supply chain to date, we have and may continue to experience shortages, delays and backorders for certain ingredients and products, difficulty scheduling shipping for our products, as well as price increases from many of our suppliers for both shipping and product costs. In addition, labor shortages have impacted our manufacturing operations and may impact our ability to supply certain products to our customers. To date, these global conditions have not had a material negative impact on our operations, supply chain, overall costs or demand for most of our products or resulting aggregate sales and earnings, and, as such, it has also not materially negatively impacted our liquidity position. We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs. These circumstances could change, however, in this dynamic, unprecedented environment. If conditions cause further disruption in the global supply chain, the availability of labor and materials or otherwise further increase costs, it may materially affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including causing material disruptions in the supply and distribution of our products. The extent to which these conditions impact our results and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning global supply chain constraints, the high inflationary environment, global instability and the potential for further outbreaks of severe illnesses. These effects could have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations and those of the third parties on which we rely.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are considered necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Our fiscal year ends on March 31st of each year. References in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or related notes to a year (e.g., 2024) mean our fiscal year ending or ended on March 31st of that year. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most significant estimates include those made in connection with the valuation of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, fair value of debt, sales returns and allowances, trade promotional allowances, inventory obsolescence, and accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU requires entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities in a business combination. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard effective April 1, 2023. The impact of the adoption of this new standard will depend on the magnitude of future acquisitions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance (collectively, "Topic 848"). In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance in Topic 848. Topic 848 provides optional guidance for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. On April 4, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 8 ("ABL Amendment No. 8") to the 2012 ABL Revolver. ABL Amendment No. 8 provides for the replacement of LIBOR with Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as our reference rate. On June 12, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 7 ("Term Loan Amendment No. 7") to the Company’s term loan originally entered into on January 31, 2012 (the “2012 Term Loan”), effective July 1, 2023. Term Loan Amendment No. 7 provides for the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as our reference rate. Effective July 1, 2023, we have transitioned all discontinued reference rates to SOFR. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:

On an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if conditions indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable, management performs a review of the values assigned to goodwill and tests for impairment. The date of our annual impairment review was February 28, 2023, and we recorded impairment charges to
-7-
goodwill of $48.8 million in our March 31, 2023 financial statements. We utilized the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of our reporting units as part of the goodwill impairment test. We also considered our market capitalization at February 28, 2023 as compared to the aggregate fair values of our reporting units, to assess the reasonableness of our estimates pursuant to the discounted cash flow methodology. The estimates and assumptions made in assessing the fair value of our reporting units and the valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities are inherently subject to significant uncertainties related to future sales, gross margins, and advertising and marketing expenses, which can be impacted by increases in competition, changing consumer preferences, technical advances, supply chain constraints, labor shortages, and inflation. The discount rate assumption may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation, which can have an impact on the determination of fair value. If these assumptions are adversely affected, we may be required to record impairment charges in the future. As of June 30, 2023, we determined no events have occurred that would indicate potential impairment of goodwill.
4. Intangible Assets, net
A reconciliation of the activity affecting intangible assets, net is as follows:

Amortization expense was $5.0 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Finite-lived intangible assets are expected to be amortized over their estimated useful life, which ranges from a period of 10 to 25 years, and the estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years and the periods thereafter is as follows (in thousands):
(In thousands) | |||||
Year Ending March 31, | Amount | ||||

2027 | 15,363 | ||||
2028 | 13,017 | ||||
Thereafter | 88,231 | ||||
$ | 167,906 |
Under accounting guidelines, indefinite-lived assets are not amortized, but must be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below the carrying amount. The date of our annual impairment review was February 28, 2023, and we recorded impairment charges to intangible assets of $321.4 million in our March 31, 2023 financial statements. Additionally, at each reporting period, an evaluation must be made to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and are also tested for
-8-
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value.
We utilize the excess earnings method to estimate the fair value of our individual indefinite-lived intangible assets. The assumptions subject to significant uncertainties in the analysis include the discount rate utilized in the analysis, as well as future sales, gross margins, and advertising and marketing expenses. The discount rate assumption may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation, which can have an impact on the determination of fair value. Additionally, should the related fair values of intangible assets be adversely affected as a result of declining sales or margins caused by competition, changing consumer needs or preferences, technological advances, changes in advertising and marketing expenses, or the potential impacts of supply chain constraints, labor shortages, or inflation, we may be required to record impairment charges in the future. As of June 30, 2023, no events have occurred that would indicate potential impairment of intangible assets.

8. Fair Value Measurements
For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short maturity of these amounts.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements, requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market assuming an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 established market (observable inputs) as the preferred source of fair value, to be followed by our assumptions of fair value based on hypothetical transactions (unobservable inputs) in the absence of observable market inputs. Based upon the above, the following fair value hierarchy was created:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, as well as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not considered active; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed by us using estimates and assumptions reflective of those that would be utilized by a market participant.
The market values have been determined based on market values for similar instruments adjusted for certain factors. As such, the 2021 Senior Notes, the 2019 Senior Notes, the 2012 Term B-5 Loans, and the 2012 ABL Revolver are measured in Level 2 of the above hierarchy. The summary below details the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these instruments at June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

At June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, we did not have any assets or liabilities measured in Level 1 or 3.
9. Stockholders' Equity
We are authorized to issue 250.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 5.0 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. The Board of Directors may direct the issuance of the undesignated preferred stock in one or more series and determine preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof.
Each share of common stock has the right to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of outstanding stock having priority rights as to dividends. No dividends have been declared or paid on our common stock through June 30, 2023.
On May 2, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock through May 31, 2024 utilizing open market transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, in privately-negotiated transactions, by direct purchases of common stock or a combination of the foregoing in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We completed the repurchase in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we repurchased shares of our common stock and recorded them as treasury stock. Our share repurchases consisted of the following:

As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, no amounts were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings.
11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, which includes stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs"). Potential common shares, composed of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs, are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation to the extent that they are dilutive. In loss periods, the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and RSUs has an anti-dilutive effect, and therefore these instruments are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

For both the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were 0.4 million shares attributable to outstanding stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
12. Stock-Based Compensation
In connection with our initial public offering, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which provided for grants of up to a maximum of 5.0 million shares of restricted stock, stock options, RSUs and other equity-based awards. In June 2014, the Board of Directors approved, and in July 2014, our stockholders ratified, an increase of an additional 1.8 million shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2005 Plan, among other changes.
On June 23, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted the Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan became effective on August 4, 2020, upon the approval of the 2020 Plan by our stockholders. On June 23, 2020, a total of 2,827,210 shares were available for issuance under the 2020 Plan (comprised of 2,000,000 new shares plus 827,210 shares that were unissued under the 2005 Plan). All future equity awards will be made from the 2020 Plan, and the Company will not grant any additional awards under the 2005 Plan.

At June 30, 2023, there were $4.6 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options under the 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan, excluding an estimate for forfeitures which may occur. We expect to recognize such costs over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. At June 30, 2023, there were $15.1 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested RSUs and PSUs under the 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan, excluding an estimate for forfeitures which may occur. We expect to recognize such costs over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.
At June 30, 2023, there were 1.9 million shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $3.2 million.
13. Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in our quarterly financial statements based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate, subject to adjustments for discrete events, should they occur. The effective tax rates used in the calculation of income taxes were 22.5% and 22.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, was due to discrete items primarily pertaining to state tax rate legislative changes and stock-based compensation.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved from time to time in legal matters and other claims incidental to our business. We review outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel as necessary to assess the probability and amount of a potential loss. These assessments are re-evaluated at each reporting period and as new information becomes available to determine whether a reserve should be established or if any existing reserve should be adjusted. The actual cost of resolving a claim or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of the recorded reserve. In addition, because it is not permissible under GAAP to establish a litigation reserve until the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient time to establish a reserve prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly negotiated settlement). We believe the reasonably possible losses from resolution of
-15-
routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business, taking our reserves into account, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
15. Concentrations of Risk
Our revenues are concentrated in the area of OTC Healthcare. We sell our products to mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 41.0% and 41.5%, respectively, of our gross revenues were derived from our five top selling brands. Walmart accounted for approximately 20.8% and 19.9%, respectively, of our gross revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. An additional customer, Amazon, accounted for 11.0% of our gross revenues for the first quarter of the current fiscal year.
Our product distribution in the United States is managed by a third party through one primary distribution center in Clayton, Indiana. In addition, we operate one manufacturing facility for certain of our products located in Lynchburg, Virginia, which manufactures many of the Summer's Eve and Fleet products. A natural disaster, such as tornado, earthquake, flood, or fire, could damage our inventory and/or materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. In addition, a serious disruption caused by performance or contractual issues with our third-party distribution manager or labor shortages or public health emergencies at our distribution center or manufacturing facility could materially impact our product distribution. Any disruption could result in increased costs, expense and/or shipping times, and could cause us to incur customer fees and penalties. We could also incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times if we need to replace our distribution center, the third-party distribution manager or the manufacturing facility. As a result, any serious disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
At June 30, 2023, we had relationships with 135 third-party manufacturers. Of those, we had long-term contracts with 27 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 74.8% of gross sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2022, we had relationships with 129 third-party manufacturers. Of those, we had long-term contracts with 25 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 71.0% of gross sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate arbitrary and costly price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Although we are continually in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
16. Business Segments
Segment information has been prepared in accordance with the Segment Reporting topic of the FASB ASC 280. Our current reportable segments consist of (i) North American OTC Healthcare and (ii) International OTC Healthcare. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments and allocate resources to these segments based primarily on contribution margin, which we define as gross profit less advertising and marketing expenses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Future results could differ materially from the discussion that follows for many reasons, including the factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and in future reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
See also “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 25 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |
Unless otherwise indicated by the context, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Prestige” refer to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and our subsidiaries. Similarly, references to a year (e.g., 2024) refers to our fiscal year ended March 31 of that year.
General
We are engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of well-recognized, brand name, over-the-counter ("OTC") healthcare products to mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience, and club stores and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets. We use the strength of our brands, our established retail distribution network, a low-cost operating model and our experienced management team to our competitive advantage.
We have grown our brand portfolio both organically and through acquisitions. We develop our existing brands by investing in new product lines, brand extensions and strong advertising support. Acquisitions of OTC brands have also been an important part of our growth strategy. We have acquired well-recognized brands from consumer products and pharmaceutical companies and private equity firms. While many of these brands have long histories of brand development and investment, we believe that, at the time we acquired them, most were considered “non-core” by their previous owners. As a result, these acquired brands did not benefit from adequate management focus and marketing support during the period prior to their acquisition, which created opportunities for us to reinvigorate these brands and improve their performance post-acquisition. After adding a core brand to our portfolio, we seek to increase its sales, market share and distribution in both existing and new channels through our established retail distribution network. We pursue this growth through increased spending on advertising and marketing support, new sales and marketing strategies, improved packaging and formulations, and innovative development of brand extensions.
Economic Environment
There has been economic uncertainty in the United States and globally due to several factors, including global supply chain constraints, rising interest rates, a high inflationary environment and geopolitical events. We expect economic conditions will continue to be highly volatile and uncertain, put pressure on prices and supply, and could affect demand for our products. We have continued to see changes in the purchasing patterns of our consumers, including a reduction in the frequency of visits to retailers and a shift in many markets to purchasing our products online.
The volatile environment has impacted the supply of labor and raw materials and exacerbated rising input costs. Although we have not experienced a material disruption to our overall supply chain to date, we have and may continue to experience shortages, delays and backorders for certain ingredients and products, difficulty scheduling shipping for our products, as well as price increases from many of our suppliers for both shipping and product costs. In addition, labor shortages have impacted our manufacturing operations and may impact our ability to supply certain products to our customers. To date, these global conditions have not had a material negative impact on our operations, supply chain, overall costs or demand for most of our products or resulting aggregate sales and earnings, and, as such, it has also not materially negatively impacted our liquidity position. We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs. These circumstances could change, however, in this dynamic, unprecedented environment. If conditions cause further disruption in the global supply chain, the availability of labor and materials or otherwise further increase costs, it may materially affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including causing material disruptions in the supply and distribution of our products. The extent to which these conditions impact our results and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning global supply chain constraints, the high inflationary environment, global instability and the potential for further outbreaks of severe illnesses. These effects could have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations and those of the third parties on which we rely.

Revenues for the North American OTC Healthcare segment increased $3.6 million, or 1.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 versus the three months ended June 30, 2022.

As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit decreased to 55.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 57.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to increased supply chain costs and product mix.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $27.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $26.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in compensation costs, partly offset by a decrease in professional fees in the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in amortization expense due to impairment charges taken in fiscal 2023.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net was $17.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 versus $15.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average indebtedness decreased to $1.4 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $1.5 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average cost of borrowing increased to 5.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 4.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $15.4 million versus $15.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 22.5% versus 22.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 was due to the impact of discrete items primarily pertaining to state tax rate legislative changes and stock-based compensation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our primary source of cash comes from our cash flow from operations. In the past, we have supplemented this source of cash with various debt facilities, primarily in connection with acquisitions. We have financed our operations, and expect to continue to finance our operations for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future, with a combination of funds generated from operations and borrowings. Our principal uses of cash are for operating expenses, debt service, share repurchases, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. Based on our current levels of operations and anticipated growth, excluding acquisitions, we believe that our cash generated from operations and our existing credit facilities will be adequate to finance our working capital and capital expenditures through the next twelve months. See "Economic Environment" above.
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $54.6 million, a decrease of $3.9 million from March 31, 2023. The following table summarizes the change:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $48.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $58.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The $10.2 million decrease was primarily due to increased working capital.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The change was primarily due to proceeds we received from a short term loan repayment.
-22-
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $54.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $47.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The $6.8 million increase was primarily due to lower net borrowings of $25.0 million compared to prior year, partly offset by a decrease in the repurchase of shares of our common stock in conjunction with our share repurchase program of $12.7 million and an increase in the proceeds from exercise of stock options of $5.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, we had an aggregate of $1.3 billion of outstanding indebtedness, which consisted of the following:
•$400.0 million of 5.125% 2019 senior unsecured notes, which mature on January 15, 2028 (the "2019 Senior Notes");
•$600.0 million of 3.750% 2021 senior unsecured notes, which mature on April 1, 2031 (the "2021 Senior Notes"); and
•$330.0 million of borrowings under the Term B-5 Loans under the 2012 Term Loan due July 1, 2028.
As of June 30, 2023, we had no outstanding balance on our asset-based revolving credit facility originally entered into on January 31, 2012 (the "2012 ABL Revolver”) and a borrowing capacity of $174.9 million.
Since we have made optional payments that exceed all of our required quarterly payments, we will not be required to make another payment on our term loan originally entered into on January 31, 2012 (the "2012 Term Loan”) until maturity.

Covenants:
Our debt facilities contain various financial covenants, including provisions that require us to maintain certain leverage, interest coverage and fixed charge ratios. The credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and 2019 Senior Notes contain provisions that accelerate our indebtedness on certain changes in control and restrict us from undertaking specified corporate actions, including asset dispositions, acquisitions, payments of dividends and other specified payments, repurchasing our equity securities in the public markets, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, making loans and investments and transactions with affiliates. Specifically, we must:
•Have a leverage ratio of less than 6.50 to 1.0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and thereafter (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated total net debt as of the last day of the fiscal quarter to our trailing twelve month consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items (“EBITDA”));
•Have an interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.25 to 1.0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and thereafter (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA to our trailing twelve month consolidated cash interest expense); and
•Have a fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.0 to 1.0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA minus capital expenditures to our trailing twelve month consolidated interest paid, taxes paid and other specified payments). Our fixed charge requirement remains level throughout the term of the debt facilities.
At June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the applicable financial and restrictive covenants under the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes. Management
-23-
anticipates that in the normal course of operations, we will be in compliance with the financial and restrictive covenants during the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies is presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements is included in the notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item I, Note 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates because our 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver are variable rate debt. At June 30, 2023, approximately $330.0 million of our debt carries a variable rate of interest.
Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a 1.0% increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt would have an adverse impact on pre-tax earnings and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2023 of approximately $0.9 million, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 10.6% and 13.6%, respectively, of our gross revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As such, we are exposed to transactions that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates. These transactions are primarily with respect to the Canadian and Australian Dollars.
We performed a sensitivity analysis with respect to exchange rates for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Holding all other variables constant, and assuming a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates, this analysis resulted in a less than 5.0% impact on pre-tax income of approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2023. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed in the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, but such risks are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our quarterly operating results and revenues may fluctuate as a result of any of these or other factors. Accordingly, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year, and revenues for any particular future period may decrease. In the future, operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In that event, the market price of our outstanding securities could be adversely impacted.
