Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1. Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by RBC Bearings Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim financial statements included with this report have been prepared on a consistent basis with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022. We condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “RBC” and the “Company” mean RBC Bearings Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.

These statements reflect all adjustments, accruals, and estimates, consisting only of items of a normal recurring nature, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended July 2, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire fiscal year ending April 1, 2023. The three-month periods ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 each included 13 weeks. The amounts shown are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Restatement

On August 2, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with the Company’s management, concluded that the previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended April 2, 2022, April 3, 2021, and March 28, 2020 and the consolidated financial statements for the quarters therein (the “Affected Periods”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2022 contained an error related to the accounting of non-cash stock-based compensation granted to the Company’s CEO and COO. As a result of this error, the Audit Committee determined that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Affected Periods included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K should not be relied upon and should be restated by adjusting selling, general and administrative expenses to reflect non-cash stock-based compensation that should have been recognized in each of the Affected Periods. Any previously issued or filed reports, press releases, earnings releases and investor presentations or other communications describing the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements and other related financial information covering the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon.

The need for the restatement arose out of the Company’s reexamination of the timing of the Company’s recognition of stock-based compensation, a non-cash item, for awards granted to the CEO and COO in light of their employment agreements as then in effect, which historically included provisions that (i) would accelerate the vesting of all the CEO’s then-unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options in the event that he voluntarily resigns from employment or provides the Company with notice that his employment agreement will not renew, and (ii) would accelerate the vesting of all the COO’s then-unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options in the event that he provides the Company with notice that his employment agreement will not renew. Historically, the Company recognized stock-based compensation for restricted stock awards granted to the CEO and COO over the three-year vesting period and option awards over the five-year vesting period stated in the agreements underlying these awards, but U.S. GAAP requires stock-based compensation for awards to be recognized over the shorter service period effectively provided by the above-referenced provisions in the CEO and COO’s respective employment agreements.

The CEO and COO’s employment agreements have been amended to remove the provisions referred to above (which the Company, the CEO and COO consider to be a technical mistake causing the employment agreements to not reflect the parties’ mutual agreement) so the Company will recognize stock-based compensation for restricted stock and option awards granted in the future to the CEO and COO over the full three- and five-year vesting periods, respectively, rather than over the shorter service period applicable to the prior awards.

The following unaudited tables present the impact of the restatement on the Company’s previously reported consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets for the quarterly period ended July 3, 2021. The values as previously reported were derived from the Company’s Original Form 10-Q previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended April 2, 2022.

Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting new accounting standards are discussed below.

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted

Not applicable.

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The objective of the standard is to address operational challenges likely to arise in accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting due to reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The standard update is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. This guidance is available immediately and may be implemented in any period prior to the guidance expiration on December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing which of its various contracts will require an update for a new reference rate and will determine the timing for implementation of this guidance after completing that analysis.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after April 1, 2023 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table disaggregates total revenue by end market which is how we view our reportable segments (see Note 12):

	Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2022		July 3, 2021

Aerospace/Defense	$	99,399	$	90,365
Industrial		254,681		65,840
	$	354,080	$	156,205

The following table disaggregates total revenue by geographic origin:

	Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2022		July 3, 2021

United States	$	310,630	$	139,790
International		43,450		16,415
	$	354,080	$	156,205

The following table illustrates the approximate percentage of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied over time versus the amount of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time:

	Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2022			July 3, 2021

Point-in-time		98	%		96	%
Over time		2	%		4	%
		100	%		100	%

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders meeting the definition of a contract for which work has not been performed or has been partially performed and excludes unexercised contract options. The duration of the majority of our contracts, as defined by ASC Topic 606, is less than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, which allows companies to exclude remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one year was approximately $274,610 at July 2, 2022. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 64% and 89% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Contract Assets (Unbilled Receivables) - Pursuant to the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customer being invoiced. An unbilled receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when (1) the cost-to-cost method is applied and (2) such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer.

As of July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, current contract assets were $4,875 and $3,882, respectively, and included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in contract assets was primarily due to the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations prior to billing partially offset by amounts billed to customers during the period. As of July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, the Company did not have any contract assets classified as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheets.

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue) - The Company may receive a customer advance or deposit, or have an unconditional right to receive a customer advance, prior to revenue being recognized. Since the performance obligations related to such advances may not have been satisfied, a contract liability is established. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as the timing of the transfer of the related goods or services is at the discretion of the customer.

As of July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, current contract liabilities were $21,009 and $19,556, respectively, and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in current contract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments received and the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received from the noncurrent portion of contract liabilities partially offset by revenue recognized on customer contracts. For the three months ended July 2, 2022, the Company recognized revenues of $3,868 that were included in the contract liability balance as of April 2, 2022. For the three months ended July 3, 2021, the Company recognized revenues of $4,650 that were included in the contract liability balance at April 3, 2021.

As of July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, noncurrent contract liabilities were $10,732 and $10,401, respectively, and included within other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in noncurrent contract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments received partially offset by the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received to the current portion of contract liabilities.

Variable Consideration

The amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services is not generally subject to significant variations. However, the Company does offer certain customers rebates, prompt payment discounts, end-user discounts, the right to return eligible products, and/or other forms of variable consideration. The Company estimates this variable consideration using the expected value amount, which is based on historical experience. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Accrued customer rebates were $38,779 and $35,234 at July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively, and are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The components of comprehensive income (loss) that relate to the Company are net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, and pension plan and postretirement benefits.

The following summarizes the activity within each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes:

	Currency Translation			Pension and Postretirement Liability			Total

Balance at July 2, 2022	$	(5,625	)	$	(6,125	)	$	(11,750	)

5. Net Income Per Share Available to Common Stockholders

Basic net income per share available to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted net income per share available to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and the conversion of 5.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) to common shares. The MCPS were issued on September 24, 2021.

We exclude outstanding stock options, stock awards and the MCPS from the calculations if the effect would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the MCPS is calculated using the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes that these securities were converted to shares of common stock at the later of the September 24, 2021 issuance date or the beginning of the reporting period to the extent that the effect is dilutive. If the effect is anti-dilutive, we calculate net income per share available to common stockholders by adjusting net income in the numerator for the effect of the cumulative MCPS dividends for the respective period.

For the three-month period ended July 2, 2022, the effect of assuming the conversion of the 4,600,000 shares of MCPS into shares of common stock was anti-dilutive, and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. Accordingly, net income was reduced by cumulative MCPS dividends, as presented in our consolidated statement of operations, for purposes of calculating net income available to common stockholders.

For the three months ended July 2, 2022, 202,894 employee stock options and 29,054 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options and restricted shares would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended July 3, 2021, 160,600 employee stock options and no restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

The table below reflects the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for each period presented as well as the computation of basic and diluted net income per share available to common stockholders.

6. Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, accounts payable and accruals and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

The Company also measures certain assets at fair value, using Level 3 inputs, as a result of the occurrence of triggering events such as purchase accounting for acquisitions.

No other material assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.

Financial Instruments:

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Due to the nature of fair value calculations for variable-rate debt, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term variable-rate debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $431,875 and $463,750 at July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $492,608 at July 2, 2022 and $492,396 at April 2, 2022. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate debt was measured using Level 2 inputs. The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments.

7. Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method, and are summarized below:

10. Debt

Domestic Credit Facility

On November 1, 2021 RBC Bearings Incorporated, our top holding company, and our Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. subsidiary (“RBCA”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer and the other lenders party thereto, and terminated the Company’s prior Credit Agreement, which was entered into with Wells Fargo in 2015 (the “2015 Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement provides the Company with (a) a $1,300,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), which was used to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge and to pay related fees and expenses, and (b) a $500,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Facilities”). Debt issuance costs associated with the New Credit Agreement totaled $14,947 and will be amortized over the life of the New Credit Agreement.

Amounts outstanding under the Facilities generally bear interest at either, at the Company’s option, (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime lending rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00% or (b) the LIBOR rate plus a specified margin, depending on the type of borrowing being made. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA from time to time. Currently, the Company’s margin is 0.50% for base rate loans and 1.50% for LIBOR rate loans. The Facilities are subject to a “LIBOR” floor of 0.00% and contain “hard-wired” LIBOR replacement provisions as set forth in the New Credit Agreement. As of July 2, 2022, the Company’s commitment fee rate is 0.20% and the letter of credit fee rate is 1.50%.

The Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on November 2, 2026. The Company can elect to prepay some or all of the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty. Commencing one full fiscal quarter after the execution of the New Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Facility will amortize in quarterly installments with the balance payable on the Maturity Date unless otherwise extended in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Facility. The required future principal payments are approximately $0 for the remainder of fiscal 2023, $0 for fiscal 2024, $2,500 for fiscal 2025, $130,000 for fiscal 2026, and $942,500 for fiscal 2027.

The New Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with various covenants, including the following financial covenants beginning with the test period ending December 31, 2021: (a) a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio of 5.50:1.00, which maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio shall decrease during certain subsequent test periods as set forth in the New Credit Agreement (provided that, no more than once during the term of the Facilities, such maximum ratio applicable at such time may be increased by the Borrower by 0.50:1.00 for a period of twelve (12) months after the consummation of a material acquisition), and (b) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.00:1.00.

The New Credit Agreement allows the Company to, among other things, make distributions to shareholders, repurchase its stock, incur other debt or liens, or acquire or dispose of assets provided that the Company complies with certain requirements and limitations of the New Credit Agreement.

The Company’s domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the New Credit Agreement, and the Company’s obligations and the domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

As of July 2, 2022, $1,075,000 was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and approximately $3,675 of the Revolving Credit Facility was being utilized to provide letters of credit to secure the Company’s obligations relating to certain insurance programs, and the Company had the ability to borrow up to an additional $496,325 under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

On October 7, 2021, RBCA issued $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were approximately $491,992 after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses. On November 1, 2021, the Company used the proceeds to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company to (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness, (ii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders, (iii) make investments, (iv) create liens or use assets as security in other transactions, (v) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of its assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (vii) sell or transfer certain assets. These covenants contain various exceptions, limitations and qualifications. At any time that the Senior Notes are rated investment grade, certain of these covenants will be suspended.

The Senior Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RBC Bearings and certain of RBCA’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that also guarantee the New Credit Agreement.

Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.375% and is payable semi–annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2022.

The Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2029. The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after October 15, 2024 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may also redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings completed before October 15, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 104.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a “make–whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company sells certain of its assets or experiences specific kinds of changes in control, the Company must offer to purchase the Senior Notes.

Foreign Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility

On August 15, 2019, one of our foreign subsidiaries, Schaublin SA (“Schaublin”), entered into two separate credit agreements (the “Foreign Credit Agreements”) with Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. to (i) finance the acquisition of Swiss Tool, and (ii) provide future working capital. The Foreign Credit Agreements provided Schaublin with a CHF 15,000 (approximately $15,383) term loan (the “Foreign Term Loan”), which was extinguished in February 2022 and a CHF 15,000 (approximately $15,383) revolving credit facility (the “Foreign Revolver”), which continues in effect until terminated by either Schaublin or Credit Suisse. Debt issuance costs associated with the Foreign Credit Agreements totaled CHF 270 (approximately $277).

Amounts outstanding under the Foreign Revolver generally bear interest at LIBOR plus a specified margin. The applicable margin is based on Schaublin’s ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA at each measurement date. Currently, Schaublin’s margin is 1.00%.

The Foreign Credit Agreements require Schaublin to comply with various covenants, which are tested annually on March 31. These covenants include, among other things, a financial covenant to maintain a ratio of consolidated net debt to adjusted EBITDA not greater than 2.50 to 1 as of March 31, 2021 and thereafter. Schaublin is also required to maintain an economic equity of CHF 20,000 at all times. The Foreign Credit Agreements allow Schaublin to, among other things, incur other debt or liens and acquire or dispose of assets provided that Schaublin complies with certain requirements and limitations of the Foreign Credit Agreements. As of July 2, 2022, Schaublin was in compliance with all such covenants.

Schaublin’s parent company, Schaublin Holding, has guaranteed Schaublin’s obligations under the Foreign Credit Agreements. Schaublin Holding’s guaranty and the Foreign Credit Agreements are secured by a pledge of the capital stock of Schaublin. In addition, the Foreign Term Loan is secured with pledges of the capital stock of the top company and the three operating companies in the Swiss Tool System group of companies.

As of July 2, 2022, the Foreign Term Loan has been paid, with no balance outstanding. There were no amounts outstanding under the Foreign Revolver. Schaublin has the ability to borrow up to an additional $15,626 under the Foreign Revolver as of July 2, 2022.

11. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in numerous U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, with returns subject to examination for varying periods, but generally back to and including the year ending April 2, 2005. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years ending before March 31, 2018.

The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, were 21.8% and 18.4%⁽¹⁾, respectively. In addition to discrete items, the effective income tax rates for these periods are different from the U.S. statutory rates due to the foreign-derived intangible income provision and U.S. credit for increasing research activities, which decrease the rate, and state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and nondeductible stock-based compensation, that increase the rate.

The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended July 2, 2022 of 21.8% includes $600 of tax benefit associated with share-based compensation, along with $32 of tax benefit for the release of unrecognized tax positions associated with a statute of limitations expiration. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended July 2, 2022 would have been 23.1%. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended July 3, 2021 of 18.4%⁽¹⁾includes $2,139 of tax benefit associated with share-based compensation, along with $160 of tax benefit for the release of unrecognized tax positions associated with a statute of limitations expiration. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended July 3, 2021 would have been 26.2%⁽¹⁾. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that some of its unrecognized tax positions may be effectively settled within the next twelve months due to the closing of audits and the statute of limitations expiring in varying jurisdictions. The decrease in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions reserve, pertaining primarily to federal and state credits and state tax, is estimated to be approximately $1,607 over the next twelve months.

13. Dodge Acquisition

On November 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Dodge for approximately $2,908,241, net of cash acquired and subject to certain adjustments. The purchase price was paid with (i) $1,285,761 of borrowing under the Term Loan Facility, net of issuance costs, (ii) $1,050,811 of net proceeds from common stock and MCPS offerings, (iii) $494,200 of net proceeds from the Senior Notes offering, and (iv) approximately $77,469 of cash on hand. Since the close of the transaction, purchase price adjustments totaling $22,966 have been recorded.

In the acquisition, the Company purchased 100% of the capital stock of certain entities, including Dodge Mechanical Power Transmission Company Inc. (now known as Dodge Industrial, Inc.), and certain other assets relating to ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd.’s mechanical power transmission business.

With offices in Greenville, South Carolina, Dodge is a leading manufacturer of mounted bearings, gearings and mechanical products with market-leading brand recognition. Dodge manufactures a complete line of mounted bearings, enclosed gearing and power transmission components across a diverse set of industrial end markets. Dodge primarily operates across the construction and mining aftermarket, and the food & beverage, warehousing and general machinery verticals, with sales predominately in the Americas.

Acquisition costs incurred for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022 totaled $22,598 and were recorded as period expenses and included within other, net within the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended July 2, 2022, $82 of acquisition costs have been incurred. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change pending a final valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based on their fair values at the date of acquisition as follows:

The goodwill associated with this acquisition is the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of the acquired business with the Company’s operations and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. $44,941 of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets of $1,385,082, consisting primarily of customer relationships and trade names, was determined using the income approach. Specifically, a multi-period, excess earnings method was utilized for the customer relationships and the relief-from-royalty method was utilized for the trade name. The fair value of the customer relationships, $1,185,000, is being amortized based on the economic pattern of benefit over a period of 24 years; the fair value of the trade name, $200,000, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 26-year term. These amortization periods represent the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The results of operations for Dodge have been included in the Company’s financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on November 1, 2021. Dodge contributed $177,473 of revenue and $30,494 of operating income for the three months ended July 2, 2022.

Upon closing, the Company entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) with ABB, pursuant to which ABB agreed to support the information technology, human resources and benefits, finance, tax and treasury functions of the Dodge business for six to twelve months. The Company has the option to extend the support period for up to a maximum of an additional year for certain IT services. RBC has the right to terminate individual services at any point over the renewal term. All services are expected to be terminated by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Costs associated with the TSA were $3,705 for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and are included in other, net on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Since the purchase of the Dodge business on November 1, 2021, costs associated with the TSA were $11,708 through July 2, 2022.

The following section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information, including our financial statements and the notes thereto, which appears elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

We are a well-known international manufacturer and maker of highly-engineered bearings and precision components. Our precision solutions are integral to the manufacture and operation of most machines and mechanical systems, reduce wear to moving parts, facilitate proper power transmission, and reduce damage and energy loss caused by friction. While we manufacture products in all major bearings categories, we focus primarily on the higher end of the bearing and engineered component markets where we believe our value-added manufacturing and engineering capabilities enable us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and enhance profitability. We believe our expertise has enabled us to garner leading positions in many of the product markets in which we primarily compete. With 56 facilities in 10 countries, of which 37 are manufacturing facilities, we have been able to significantly broaden our end markets, products, customer base and geographic reach.

Previously we operated under four reportable business segments – Plain Bearings, Roller Bearings, Ball Bearings, and Engineered Products – but the Dodge acquisition has resulted in a change in the internal organization of the Company and how our chief operating decision maker makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates resources so that we now operate under two reportable business segments – Aerospace/Defense and Industrial:

●

Industrial. This segment represents the end markets for the Company’s highly engineered bearings, gearings and precision components used in various industrial applications including: power transmission; construction, mining, energy and specialized equipment manufacturing; semiconductor production equipment manufacturing; agricultural machinery, commercial truck and automotive manufacturing; and tool holding.

Financial information for fiscal 2022 has been recast to conform to the new segment presentation.

The markets for our products are cyclical, and we have endeavored to mitigate this cyclicality by entering into single and sole-source relationships and long-term purchase agreements, through diversification across multiple market segments within the Aerospace/Defense and Industrial segments, by increasing sales to the aftermarket, and by focusing on developing highly customized solutions.

Currently, our strategy is built around maintaining our role as a leading manufacturer of highly-engineered bearings and precision components through the following efforts:

●

Developing innovative solutions. By leveraging our design and manufacturing expertise and our extensive customer relationships, we continue to develop new products for markets in which there are substantial growth opportunities.

●

Expanding customer base and penetrating end markets. We continually seek opportunities to access new customers, geographic locations and bearing platforms with existing products or profitable new product opportunities.

●

Increasing aftermarket sales. We believe that increasing our aftermarket sales of replacement parts will further enhance the continuity and predictability of our revenues and enhance our profitability. Such sales include sales to third party distributors and sales to OEMs for replacement products and aftermarket services. The acquisition of Dodge has had a profound impact on our sales volumes to distributors and other aftermarket customers. We will further increase the percentage of our revenues derived from the replacement market by continuing to implement several initiatives.

●

Pursuing selective acquisitions. The acquisition of businesses that complement or expand our operations has been and continues to be an important element of our business strategy. We believe that there will continue to be consolidation within the industry that may present us with acquisition opportunities.

Outlook

We are continuing to see the recovery of the commercial aerospace business, which has increased by 18.9% versus the same period last year. We anticipate this recovery to accelerate throughout the rest of the fiscal year and beyond. Orders have continued to grow as evidenced by our backlog. Defense sales, which represented approximately 35.0% of segment sales this period, were down 3.4% year over year. This is in part due to the timing of delivery on parts that require government approval and/or completion of certain milestone achievements prior to invoicing.

The increase in our industrial sales reflects a pattern of sustained growth over the last year, with strong results in several areas. Mining increased by more than 25.0% year over year. Our oil and gas business this quarter showed the start of a strong recovery which is expected to continue into future periods. Other notable strengths in industrial were in semiconductor and general industrial markets. The increase in our global industrial sales was negatively impacted by the Covid related shut downs in China, where Dodge has a plant in Shanghai.

The Company expects net sales to be approximately $355 million to $365 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

We experienced strong cash flow generation during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 (as discussed in the section “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below). We expect this trend to continue throughout the fiscal year as customer demand continues to be significant. We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and Foreign Revolver will provide adequate resources to fund internal growth initiatives for the foreseeable future, including at least the next 12 months. As of July 2, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $119.6 million of which approximately $24.8 million was cash held by our foreign operations.

Our net sales for the three-month period ended July 2, 2022 increased 126.7% compared to the same period last fiscal year; excluding Dodge sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, net sales were up 13.1% period over period. The increase in net sales was a result of a 286.8% increase in our Industrial segment. Sales to our Aerospace/Defense segment were led by aircraft OEM, which was up 23.2% compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales to the defense sector were down 3.4%. Excluding Dodge sales, sales to our industrial segment increased 17.3% year over year. This reflects a pattern of sustained growth in our industrial sales, with strong results in areas including the semiconductor, mining, energy, and general industrial markets. Within aerospace, we experienced an increase in our commercial aerospace business while the defense end markets were down as compared to the same period last year. The increase in commercial aerospace reflects the recovery in build rates from large OEMs and stability in the aftermarket. Defense sales were negatively impacted by the timing of shipments associated with our marine business.

Net income available to common stockholders for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $31.7 million compared to $24.0 million⁽¹⁾ for the same period last year. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was affected by approximately $3.7 million of pre-tax transition services costs associated with the Dodge acquisition. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was affected by $0.2 million of discrete tax benefit.

Segment Information

We previously reported our financial results under four operating segments (Plain Bearings; Roller Bearings; Ball Bearings; and Engineered Products), but the Dodge acquisition has resulted in a change in the internal organization of the Company and how our chief operating decision maker makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates resources. Accordingly, we will now report our financial results under two operating segments: Aerospace/Defense; and Industrial. Financial information for fiscal 2022 has been recast to conform to the new segment presentation. We use gross margin as the primary measurement to assess the financial performance of each reportable segment.

Aerospace/Defense Segment

	Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2022			July 3, 2021			$ Change			% Change

Total net sales	$	99.4		$	90.4		$	9.0			10.0	%

Gross margin	$	38.6		$	38.6		$	(0.0	)		(0.1	)%

SG&A	$	7.5		$	7.3		$	0.2			3.0	%
% of segment net sales		7.5	%		8.0	%

Net sales increased $9.0 million, or 10.0%, for the three months ended July 2, 2022 compared to the same period last year. Commercial aerospace increased during the period 18.9% year over year. The aerospace OEM component was up 23.2%, demonstrating early signs of a recovery in the OEM markets. This was further evidenced by continuing expansion of our backlog during the period. Our defense markets, which represent about 35.0% of segment sales, decreased by approximately 3.4% during the period. These markets were impacted by the timing of deliveries to certain government customers which require sign off or achievement of certain milestones prior to shipment. Overall distribution and aftermarket sales, which represent 18.3% of segment sales, increased 2.7% year over year.

Gross margin as a percentage of segment net sales was 38.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 42.8% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales was driven by product mix during the period.

Industrial Segment

	Three Months Ended
	July 2, 2022			July 3, 2021			$ Change		% Change

Total net sales	$	254.7		$	65.8		$	188.9		286.8	%

Gross margin	$	102.6		$	25.2		$	77.4		307.9	%
% of segment net sales		40.3	%		38.2	%

SG&A	$	30.0		$	5.7		$	24.3		421.5	%
% of segment net sales		11.8	%		8.7	%

Net sales increased $188.9 million, or 286.8%, for the three months ended July 2, 2022 compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to three months of Dodge sales in fiscal 2023 and continued strong performance across the majority of our industrial markets. Excluding Dodge sales of $177.5 million, net sales increased $11.4 million, or 17.3%, period over period. This increase was driven by performance in semiconductor, energy, mining, and the general industrial markets. Sales to distribution and the aftermarket reflected 63.4% of our quarterly industrial sales. These distribution and aftermarket sales increased 565.0% compared to the same quarter in the prior year, and 11.6% excluding associated sales from Dodge.

Gross margin for the three months ended July 2, 2022 was 40.3% of net sales, compared to 38.2% in the comparable period in fiscal 2022. The improved gross margin is primarily due to price increases put into place and product mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(dollars in millions in tables)

Our business is capital-intensive. Our capital requirements include manufacturing equipment and materials. In addition, we have historically fueled our growth, in part, through acquisitions, including the Dodge acquisition completed on November 1, 2021. We have historically met our working capital, capital expenditure requirements and acquisition funding needs through our net cash flows provided by operations, various debt arrangements and sale of equity to investors. We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and Foreign Revolver will provide adequate resources to fund internal growth initiatives for the foreseeable future. For further discussion regarding the funding of the Dodge acquisition, refer to Part I, Item 1 – Note 13.

Our ability to meet future working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements will depend on our future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors, particularly interest rates, cyclical changes in our end markets and prices for steel and our ability to pass through price increases on a timely basis, many of which are outside of our control. In addition, future acquisitions could have a significant impact on our liquidity position and our need for additional funds.

From time to time, we evaluate our existing facilities and operations and their strategic importance to us. If we determine that a given facility or operation does not have future strategic importance, we may sell, relocate, consolidate or otherwise dispose of those operations. Although we believe our operations would not be materially impaired by such dispositions, relocations or consolidations, we could incur significant cash or non-cash charges in connection with them.

Liquidity

As of July 2, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $119.6 million, of which, approximately $24.8 million was cash held by our foreign operations. We expect that our undistributed foreign earnings will be re-invested indefinitely for working capital, internal growth and acquisitions for and by our foreign subsidiaries.

Domestic Credit Facility

The Company entered into the New Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo and the other lenders party thereto on November 1, 2021 and terminated the 2015 Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement provides the Company with (a) the $1,300.0 million Term Loan Facility, which was used to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge and to pay related fees and expenses, and (b) the $500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. Debt issuance costs associated with the New Credit Agreement totaled $14.9 million and will be amortized over the life of the New Credit Agreement.

The Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on November 2, 2026. The Company can elect to prepay some or all of the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty. Commencing one full fiscal quarter after the execution of the New Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Facility will amortize in quarterly installments as set forth in Part I, Item 1 – Note 10, with the balance payable on the Maturity Date unless otherwise extended in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Facility.

As of July 2, 2022, $1,075.0 million was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and approximately $3.7 of the Revolving Credit Facility was being utilized to provide letters of credit to secure the Company’s obligations relating to certain insurance programs, and the Company had the ability to borrow up to an additional $496.3 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

On October 7, 2021, RBCA issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes and used the approximately $492.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance (after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses) to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company to (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness, (ii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders, (iii) make investments, (iv) create liens or use assets as security in other transactions, (v) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of its assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (vii) sell or transfer certain assets. These covenants contain various exceptions, limitations and qualifications. At any time that the Senior Notes are rated investment grade, certain covenants will be suspended.

Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.375% and is payable semi–annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2022.

Foreign Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility

Our Foreign Credit Agreements with Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. provided us with financing to acquire Swiss Tool in 2019 and provide future working capital for Schaublin, our foreign subsidiary. The Foreign Credit Agreements provide (a) the Foreign Term Loan, a CHF 15.0 million (approximately $15.4 million) term loan, which was extinguished in February 2022, and (b) the Foreign Revolver, a CHF 15.0 million (approximately $15.4 million) revolving credit facility, which continues in effect until terminated by either Schaublin or Credit Suisse. Debt issuance costs associated with the Foreign Credit Agreements totaled CHF 0.3 million (approximately $0.3 million).

Amounts outstanding under the Foreign Term Loan and the Foreign Revolver generally bear interest at LIBOR plus a specified margin. The applicable margin is based on Schaublin’s ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA at each measurement date. Currently, Schaublin’s margin is 1.00%.

The Foreign Credit Agreements require Schaublin to comply with various covenants, which are tested annually on March 31. These covenants include, among other things, a financial covenant to maintain a ratio of consolidated net debt to adjusted EBITDA not greater than 2.50 to 1 as of March 31, 2021 and thereafter. Schaublin is also required to maintain an economic equity of CHF 20.0 million at all times. The Foreign Credit Agreements allow Schaublin to, among other things, incur other debt or liens and acquire or dispose of assets provided that Schaublin complies with certain requirements and limitations of the Foreign Credit Agreements. As of July 2, 2022, Schaublin was in compliance with all such covenants.

As of July 2, 2022, the Foreign Term Loan has been paid, with no balance outstanding. There were no amounts outstanding under the Foreign Revolver. Schaublin has the ability to borrow up to an additional $15.6 million under the Foreign Revolver as of July 2, 2022.

During the first three months of fiscal 2023, we generated cash of $59.0 million from operating activities compared to $53.3 million of cash generated during the same period of fiscal 2022. The increase of $5.7 million for fiscal 2023 was mainly a result of a favorable change in non-cash activity of $13.3 million and an increase in net income of $13.4 million, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $21.0 million. The unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities is detailed in the table below, while the increase in non-cash charges resulted from $20.4 million of depreciation and amortization and $2.2 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by unfavorable changes of $5.4 million in deferred taxes, $3.4 million of share-based compensation charges and $0.5 million of restructuring and consolidation charges.

(1)	See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Restatement, for discussion regarding the impacts of the Restatement.

The following chart summarizes the unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $21.0 million for fiscal 2023 versus fiscal 2022 and the favorable change of $3.2 million for fiscal 2022 versus fiscal 2021.

During the first three months of fiscal 2023, we generated $15.2 million in investing activities as compared to $33.3 million used during the first three months of fiscal 2022. This increase from cash used to cash generated was attributable to Dodge acquisition purchase price adjustments of $23.0 million and $29.9 million less in purchase of marketable securities partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $4.4 million.

During the first three months of fiscal 2023, we used $136.4 million in financing activities compared to $4.5 million generated during the first three months of fiscal 2022. This decrease from cash generated to cash used was primarily attributable to $119.2 million more payments made on outstanding debt, $15.2 million fewer exercises of share-based awards, $5.8 million more cash dividends paid on preferred stock, and $1.0 million in principal payments made on finance lease obligations during the current fiscal year partially offset by $0.3 million less in treasury stock purchases.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were $7.9 million for the three-month period ended July 2, 2022. We expect to make additional capital expenditures of $30.0 million to $25.0 million during the remainder of fiscal 2023 in connection with our existing business. We expect to fund these capital expenditures principally through existing cash and internally generated funds. We may also make substantial additional capital expenditures in connection with acquisitions.

Obligations and Commitments

The Company’s fixed contractual obligations and commitments are primarily comprised of our debt obligations disclosed within Part I, Item 1- Note 10 of this report. We also have lease obligations which are materially consistent with what we have disclosed within our Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022.

Other Matters

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the first three months of fiscal 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of July 2, 2022, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than $3.7 million of outstanding standby letters of credit, all of which were under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, which arise during the normal course of business from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rates. We currently have variable rate debt outstanding under our credit agreements. We regularly evaluate the impact of interest rate changes on our net income and cash flow and take action to limit our exposure when appropriate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. Our operations in the following countries utilize the following currencies as their functional currency:

●	Australia – Australian dollar	●	India – rupee
●	Canada – Canadian dollar	●	Mexico – peso
●	China – Chinese yuan	●	Poland – zloty
●	France – euro	●	Switzerland – Swiss franc
●	Germany – euro

As a result, we are exposed to risk associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and these currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in earnings. Approximately 12% and 11% of our net sales were impacted by foreign currency fluctuations for the three- month periods ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively. Foreign currency transaction exposure arises primarily from the transfer of foreign currency from one subsidiary to another within the group, and to foreign currency denominated trade receivables. Unrealized currency translation gains and losses are recognized upon translation of the foreign operations’ balance sheets to U.S. dollars. Because our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our earnings. We periodically enter into derivative financial instruments in the form of forward exchange contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates on certain third-party sales transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. Based on the accounting guidance related to derivatives and hedging activities, we record derivative financial instruments at fair value. For derivative financial instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on these hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of July 2, 2022, we had no derivatives.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of July 2, 2022. This evaluation excluded the Dodge business acquired on November 1, 2021 as we are currently in the process of integrating the internal controls and procedures of Dodge into our internal controls over financial reporting. As provided under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, we will include the internal controls and procedures of Dodge in our annual assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for our 2023 fiscal year.

Based on the evaluation performed to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, excluding Dodge, the Company determined that errors were made in its original accounting conclusions related to the timing of when stock-based compensation was recognized for equity awards granted to its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer based on the terms of their employment agreements. The Company determined the errors were the result of a material weakness related to deficiency in internal control over financial reporting regarding the design of its control to consider all relevant terms within executive employment agreements and the related application of relevant authoritative accounting guidance for stock-based compensation awards, a non-cash item. Company-wide, there are two employment agreements for executive officers; one for its Chief Executive Officer and one for its Chief Operating Officer.

The Company acknowledges that its management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting and assessing the effectiveness of its internal controls. The Company is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures to ensure that the control deficiencies identified above are remediated as soon as possible. Management is in the process of implementing its remediation plan, which includes steps to design and implement new controls regarding management’s review of new or modified employment agreements for key executives. The Company will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three-month period ended July 2, 2022, other than the material weakness noted above, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

As discussed within Note 13 included within Part I, Item 1 of this report, we acquired Dodge on November 1, 2021. We are currently in the process of integrating the internal controls and procedures of Dodge into our internal controls over financial reporting. As provided under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, we will include the internal controls and procedures of Dodge in our annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our 2023 fiscal year.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in litigation and administrative proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that any litigation or proceeding in which we are currently involved, either individually or in the aggregate, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flow or prospects.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors and uncertainties since the most recent filing of our Form 10-K/A, other than what has been described below, which is also disclosed within the most recent filing of our Form 10-K/A. For a discussion of the risk factors, refer to Part I, Item 2, “Cautionary Statement as to Forward-Looking Information” contained in this quarterly report and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022.

New Risk Factor

The Company has identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. If not remediated, the Company’s failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in its financial statements and a failure to meet its reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the trading price of its common stock.

Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K, management identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to the design of its control to consider all relevant terms within executive employment agreements and the related application of relevant authoritative accounting guidance for stock-based compensation awards, a non-cash item. Company-wide, there are two employment agreements for executive officers; one for its Chief Executive Officer and one for its Chief Operating Officer . A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As discussed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the Company’s management has re-evaluated its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that they were not effective as of April 2, 2022.

The Company is committed to remediating its material weakness as promptly as possible. Management is in the process of implementing its remediation plan. However, there can be no assurance as to when the material weakness will be remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. If the Company is unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, its ability to record, process and report financial information timely and accurately could be adversely affected, which could subject the Company to litigation or investigations, require management resources, increase costs, negatively affect investor confidence and adversely impact its stock price.
