VSE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022

Table of Contents

(1) Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

VSE Corporation (“VSE,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a diversified aftermarket products and services company providing repair services, parts distribution, logistics, supply chain management and consulting services for land, sea and air transportation assets to commercial and government markets. We conduct our operations under three segments: (1) Aviation; (2) Fleet; and (3) Federal and Defense.

In February 2021, we completed the issuance and sale of 1,428,600 shares of the Company's common stock, in a public offering at a price of $35.00 per share. The underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 170,497 shares. The transaction closed on February 2, 2021. We received net proceeds of approximately $52 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering related expenses, which were used for general corporate purposes, including financing strategic acquisitions and working capital requirements for new program launches.

Basis of Presentation

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. Therefore, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Form 10-K"). In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements include fair value measurements, inventory provisions, collectability of receivables, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets and contingencies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The new standard is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt this standard during the first quarter 2022 and will apply the guidance prospectively to business combinations entered into subsequent to adoption.

(2) Acquisitions

Global Parts Group, Inc.

On July 26, 2021, we acquired Global Parts Group, Inc. ("Global Parts") for a purchase price of $40 million, net of cash acquired. The purchase price includes $2 million of contingent consideration, representing the fair value recognized for potential future earn-out payments. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we settled the final payment of the obligation. See Note (8) "Fair

Contract Balances

Unbilled receivables (contract assets) represent our right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that we have transferred to the customer prior to us having the right to payment for such goods or services. Contract liabilities are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of us satisfying related performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations to be satisfied over a period of time.

We present our unbilled receivables and contract liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. If a contract liability exists, it is netted against the unbilled receivables balance for that contract. Unbilled receivables were $44.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and $31.9 million as of December 31, 2021. Contract liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, were $7.7 million as of September 30, 2022 and $7.1 million as of December 31, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenue that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities of $2.7 million.

Performance Obligations

Our performance obligations are satisfied either at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenues from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time are primarily related to the sales of vehicle and aircraft parts in our Fleet and Aviation segments. Revenues from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for approximately 57% and 59% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and approximately 57% and 52% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Revenues from products and services transferred to customers over time are primarily related to revenues in our Federal and Defense segment and MRO services in our Aviation segment. Revenues from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 43% and 41% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 43% and 48% of our revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of transaction prices allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations was $199 million. The performance obligations expected to be satisfied within one year and greater than one year are 96% and 4%, respectively. We have applied the practical expedient for certain parts sales and MRO services to exclude the amount of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue in proportion to the amount we have the right to invoice for services performed.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not material.

We were in compliance with required ratios and other terms and conditions under our loan agreement as of September 30, 2022.

Subsequent Event

On October 7, 2022, we entered into a fourth amendment to our loan agreement which, among other things, (i) extended the maturity date from July 23, 2024 to October 7, 2025; (ii) reset the aggregate principal amount of the term loan to $100.0 million, (iii) modified the quarterly amortization payments on the term loan from $3.75 million to $2.50 million, (iv) increased the maximum Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio from 4.25x to 4.50x, with such ratios decreasing thereafter, (v) changed the benchmark rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) with a SOFR floor of 0.00%; and (vi) modified pricing to account for the change from LIBOR to SOFR.

After the amendment, our scheduled term loan payments are approximately $2.5 million for the remainder of 2022, $10.0 million in 2023, $10.0 million in 2024 and $77.5 million in 2025. We have classified the current portion of long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 based on the amended amortization payment terms.

(5) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Our calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effects for the assumed vesting of outstanding stock-based awards. Antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were not material.

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS were as follows:

												Three months ended September 30,												Nine months ended September 30,
																		2022						2021						2022						2021
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding																		12,797,727						12,704,165						12,772,731						12,496,646

(6) Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which we believe, based on current information, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Further, from time-to-time, government agencies audit or investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable contractual and regulatory requirements. Government audits or investigations of us, whether relating to government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future government contracting. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. We believe, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such government disputes, audits and investigations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Interest Rate Swap Derivatives

On July 22, 2022, we executed two SOFR-based forward-starting fixed interest rate swaps with a fixed rate of 2.8% that hedge the variability in interest payments of $150 million of floating rate debt. The tenor of these five-year swaps will begin on October 31, 2022. We have designated, and will account for, these fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2022, we had $5.4 million. net of an income tax effect of $1.8 million, included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheets related to these cash flow hedges. We estimate that we will reclassify $2.0 million of unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the twelve months following September 30, 2022.

We were a party to two fixed interest rate swaps, entered into in fiscal 2011 and 2012, qualifying as cash flow hedges under which we hedged a portion of our variable-rate debt until the swaps expired in February and March 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of such swaps was $0.2 million, a liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, we had $0.2 million, net of an income tax effect of $58 thousand, included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheets related to the cash flow hedges. The amounts paid and received on the swaps are recorded in interest expense in the period during which the related floating-rate interest is incurred.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the acquisition of Global Parts in July 2021, we were required to pay earn-out obligation payments of up to $2.0 million should Global Parts meet certain financial targets during the twelve months following the acquisition and meet a certain milestone event on or before March 2023. Final settlement of the obligation was made during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Changes in the earn-out obligation measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

						Current portion						Long-term portion						Total
Balance as of December 31, 2021						$	1,000					$	250					$	1,250
Reclassification from long-term to current						250						(250)						—
Earn-out payments						(1,250)						—						(1,250)
Balance as of September 30, 2022						$	—					$	—					$	—

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and amounts included in other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturity. The carrying value of our outstanding debt obligations approximates its fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to our existing debt arrangements.

(9) Income Taxes

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items that are recorded in the period in which they occur. Our tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year.

Our effective tax rate was 24.4% and 25.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 18.8% and 23.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate was higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to book expense in connection with the decline in value of our COLI assets in the period ended September 30, 2022 that was reversed for tax purposes as opposed to book income in the same period in 2021.

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

Business Overview

We are a diversified aftermarket products and services company providing repair services, parts distribution, logistics, supply chain management and consulting services for land, sea and air transportation assets to government and commercial markets. We provide logistics and distribution services for legacy systems and equipment and professional and technical services to commercial customer and to the government, including federal and civilian agencies and the Department of Defense ("DoD"). Our operations include supply chain management solutions, parts supply and distribution, and maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services for vehicle fleet, aviation, and other customers. We also provide vehicle and equipment maintenance and refurbishment, logistics, engineering support, energy services, IT and health care IT solutions, and consulting services.

Our operations are conducted within three reportable segments aligned with our operating segments: (1) Aviation; (2) Fleet; and (3) Federal and Defense. We provide more information about each of these reportable segments under Item 1, "Business-History and Organization” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Form 10-K").

Recent Acquisitions

See Note (2) "Acquisitions" to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this filing and our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding our recent acquisitions.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic continues to negatively affect the global economy, our business and operations, supply chains, and the industries in which we operate. However, we have seen continued improvement in our operating results during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which we expect to continue through the remainder of 2022. All of our repair, distribution and base operations facilities remain open and operational, and we continue to deliver products and services to customers without interruption. We continue to closely monitor and address the pandemic and related developments, including the impact to our business, our employees, our customers, and our suppliers.

Business Trends

The following discussion provides a brief description of some of the key business factors impacting our results of operations detailed by segment.

Aviation Segment

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our Aviation segment operations, particularly in 2020 and 2021. We have seen continued improvement in our quarterly revenue results due to the recovery in demand since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic impact during the second quarter of 2020. Our Aviation segment results have benefited from strong performance following prior investments in growth initiatives that have produced positive results with quarterly revenue of $103 million, a 40% increase year-over-year.

Growth in our distribution services has been driven by several new distribution initiatives in providing “tip-to-tail” product-line management capabilities, while our repair business has benefited from a broader recovery in commercial market activity, together with share gains within the business & general aviation (“B&GA”) market. Market recovery and our growth initiatives have resulted in a 105% and 38% year-over-year increase in distribution and repair revenue, respectively, during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period for the prior year.

We have recently secured key multi-year distribution agreements to both domestic and new international geographic markets. We believe the new distribution initiatives will provide sustainable and recurring revenue with growth potential that will enhance our future results. The acquisition of Global Parts, in July 2021, broadens our product lines and client base, and we see opportunities to strategically align offerings with both domestic and international markets.

We expect that the current market conditions will result in strategic opportunities for near and long-term growth. We intend to continue capitalizing on opportunities in those markets, which may require future investment.

Table of Contents

Fleet Segment

Our Fleet segment continues to increase revenue from commercial fleet customers and e-commerce fulfillment sales as the business continues to progress towards becoming a more diversified enterprise. We continue to execute on our revenue diversification strategy as we capture new customers and increase revenue within e-commerce fulfillment. To support continued e-commerce and e-commerce fulfillment growth, the Fleet segment announced plans to open a new distribution warehouse and e-commerce fulfillment center of excellence in Olive Branch, Mississippi (in the greater Memphis, Tennessee area). This new center of excellence will double the size of Fleet's current warehouse footprint while extending Fleet’s geographic reach and expanding product offerings for customers. Operations are expected to commence at this new location in early 2023 and will enable Fleet to successfully meet the rapidly growing demand for the e-commerce fulfillment business. Commercial customer revenue continues to see a strong growth trend, increasing approximately 23% and 50% during the quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Commercial revenues were 40% of total Fleet segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 30% for the same period in the prior year, demonstrating the continued success of our strategic multi-year diversification strategy.

Federal and Defense Segment

Our Federal and Defense segment continues to focus on building our contract backlog and optimizing legacy programs. We recently announced a transition of leadership for our Federal and Defense segment as we work to grow our business and mitigate the impacts of delays in both the timing of contract awards and the funding process. Strong revenue performance in U.S Navy work enabled us to successfully grow our third quarter revenue for this segment despite anticipated declines in our U.S. Army work due to program completions. We expect that our focused business development efforts will drive new revenue additions in subsequent years.

Revenues. Revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily attributable to revenue growth within each of our segments: $29.5 million within our Aviation segment, $4.5 million within our Fleet segment, and $7.9 million within our Federal and Defense segment. See "Segment Operating Results" section below for further discussion of revenues by segment.

Revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily attributable to revenue growth within each of our segments: $135.9 million within our Aviation segment, $23.5 million within our Fleet segment, and $15.4 million within our Federal and Defense segment. See "Segment Operating Results" section below for further discussion of revenues by segment.

Costs and Operating Expenses. Costs and operating expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to increases in revenue. Our costs and operating expenses for our operating segments increase and decrease in conjunction with the level of business activity and revenues generated by each segment. See "Segment Operating Results" for discussion of cost and operating expenses by segment.

Table of Contents

Operating Income. Operating income increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year attributable to increases of $6.3 million for our Aviation segment and $1.2 million for our Fleet segment, partially offset by a decrease of $3.4 million for our Federal and Defense segment. See "Segment Operating Results" for a discussion of operating income by segment.

Operating income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year attributable to increases of $43.0 million for our Aviation segment and $3.2 million for our Fleet segment, partially offset by a decrease of $13.6 million for our Federal and Defense segment. See "Segment Operating Results" for a discussion of operating income by segment.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to higher average interest rates on borrowings outstanding.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate was 24.4% and 25.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 18.8% and 23.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Our tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year. Permanent differences such as foreign derived intangible income ("FDII") deduction, Section 162(m) limitation, capital gains tax treatment, state income taxes, certain federal and state tax credits and other items caused differences between our statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate and our effective tax rate. The higher effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily resulted from book expense in connection with the decline in the value of our Company Owned Life Insurance ("COLI") assets in the period ended September 30 2022 that was reversed for tax purposes as opposed to book income in the same period in 2021.

Revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $19.2 million, or 35%, growth in distribution revenue driven by contributions from recently initiated distribution contract wins and contributions from the acquisition of Global Parts, and a $10.3 million, or 55%, growth in repair revenue driven by improved demand in end markets as a result of market recovery and share gains with business and general aviation customers.

Revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to distribution revenue growth of $114.7 million, or 105%, driven by contributions from recently initiated distribution contract wins and contributions from the acquisition of Global Parts, and repair revenue growth of $21.3 million, or 38%, driven by improved demand in end markets as a result of market recovery.

Revenues. Revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to revenues from our Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program with the U.S. Navy, partially offset by declines in our U.S. Army work due to program completions.

Costs and Operating Expenses. Costs and operating expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increases in revenue and a shift in our contract mix to a larger proportion of cost-type contracts.

Costs and operating expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increases in revenue, an increase in the proportion of cost-type contracts within our contract mix, and a $3.5 million loss recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 on a fixed-price, non-DoD contract with a foreign customer driven by higher than anticipated supply chain material and labor costs.

Operating income. Operating income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the completion of a U.S. Army program and a shift in our contract mix to a larger portion of cost-type contracts, which generally provide lower profit margins than fixed-price and T&M contract types.

Operating income decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the completion of a U.S. Army program, an increase in the portion of cost-type contracts, and the contract loss recognized during the period as described above.

Bookings and Funded Backlog

Our funded backlog represents the estimated remaining value of work to be performed under firm contracts. Bookings for our Aviation and Fleet segments occur at the time of sale. Accordingly, our Aviation and Fleet segments do not generally have funded contract backlog and backlog is not an indicator of their potential future revenues. Revenues for federal government contract work performed by our Federal and Defense segment depend on contract funding ("bookings”), and bookings generally occur when contract funding documentation is received. Funded contract backlog is an indicator of potential future revenue. While bookings and funded contract backlog generally result in revenue, we may occasionally have funded contract backlog that expires or is de-obligated upon contract completion and does not generate revenue.

A summary of our bookings and revenues for our Federal and Defense segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and funded contract backlog as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows (in millions):

						2022						2021
Bookings						$	250					$	234
Revenues						$	218					$	203
Funded Contract Backlog						$	199					$	218

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Federal and Defense segment bookings increased 7% year-over-year to $250 million, while total funded backlog decreased 9% year-over-year to $199 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our internal sources of liquidity are primarily from operating activities, specifically from changes in our level of revenues and associated inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and profitability. Significant increases or decreases in revenues and inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable can affect our liquidity. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include capital expenditures; investments in expansion, improvement, and maintenance of our operational and administrative facilities; and investments in the acquisition of businesses.

Our primary source of external financing is from our loan agreement with a bank group and includes a term loan facility and a revolving loan facility, which also provides for letters of credit. The maximum amount of credit available under our loan agreement for revolving loans and letters of credit is $350 million. Under the loan agreement we may elect to increase the maximum availability of the term loan facility, the revolving loan facility, or a combination of both facilities, subject to customary lender commitment approvals. The aggregate limit of incremental increases is $100 million. Our bank debt increased approximately $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we had term loan borrowings outstanding of $48.9 million, revolving loan borrowings outstanding of $250.3 million, and letters of credit outstanding of $1.2 million. We had approximately $98 million of unused bank loan commitments as of September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with required ratios and other terms and conditions of our loan agreement.

Bank Loan Amendment

On October 7, 2022, we entered into a fourth amendment to our loan agreement which, among other things, provides for the following: (i) an extension of the maturity date from July 23, 2024 to October 7, 2025; (ii) a reset of the aggregate principal amount of the term loan to $100.0 million; (iii) a modification to the amortization payments on the term loan from $3.75 million quarterly to $2.50 million quarterly; (iv) an increase in the maximum total leverage ratio from 4.25x to 4.50x, with such ratios decreasing thereafter as indicated in the table below; (v) a change in the benchmark rate from LIBOR to SOFR with a SOFR floor of 0.00%; and (vi) a corresponding change in pricing to account for the change from LIBOR to SOFR.

Testing Period						Maximum Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio
From the Fourth Amendment Effective Date through and including June 30, 2023						4.50 to 1.00
From July 1, 2023 through and including December 31, 2023						4.25 to 1.00
From January 24, 2024 through and including June 30, 2024						4.00 to 1.00
From July 1, 2024 through and including September 30, 2024						3.75 to 1.00
From October 1, 2024 and thereafter						3.50 to 1.00

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousand):

												Nine months ended September 30,
																		2022						2021
Net cash used in operating activities																		$	(4,206)					$	(30,523)
Net cash used in investing activities																		(3,181)						(59,839)
Net cash provided by financing activities																		6,959						90,367
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents																		$	(428)					$	5

Cash used in operating activities decreased $26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower use of cash for inventory purchases and timing of vendor payments partially offset by increased accounts receivable as a result of revenue growth and timing of collections.

Table of Contents

Cash used in investing activities decreased $56.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $53.2 million related to the acquisitions of our HSS and Global Parts subsidiaries in the prior year period.

Cash provided by financing activities decreased $83.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to $52.0 million of proceeds received in the prior year period related to our public underwritten offering of our common stock in February 2021 and overall lower proceeds from net borrowings of our debt during the current period.

We paid cash dividends totaling $3.8 million or $0.30 per share during the nine months ending September 30, 2022. Pursuant to our bank loan agreement, our payment of cash dividends is subject to annual restrictions. We have paid cash dividends each year since 1973.

Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our bank loan agreement provides available borrowing to us at variable interest rates. Accordingly, future interest rate changes could potentially put us at risk for a material adverse impact on future earnings and cash flows. We enter into interest rate swap agreements from time to time to manage or hedge our interest rate risks.

In July 2022, we executed two SOFR-based forward-starting fixed interest rate swaps with a fixed rate of 2.8% for a total notional amount of $150 million in order to hedge a portion of our floating rate debt. The tenor of these swaps will begin on October 31, 2022 and is for a term of five years. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, on October 7, 2022, we entered into an amendment to our loan agreement. Among other things, the amendment provides for a modification of the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. See Notes (4) "Debt" and (8) "Fair Value Measurements," of Notes to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding our debt and interest rate swaps.

There have been no material changes, other than discussed above, to our market risks from those discussed in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments
