STANDEX INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1) Management Statement
Standex International Corporation (“Standex” or the “Company”) is a diversified industrial manufacturer in broad business segments: Electronics, Engineering Technologies, Scientific, Engraving and Specialty Solutions with operations in the United States, Europe, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Mexico, Turkey, India, and China. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standex International Corporation and its subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries related to Standex’ ownership interests of less than 100% are reported as Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets. The results of noncontrolling ownership interests held by Standex are reported as Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. We evaluated subsequent events through the date and time our consolidated financial statements were issued.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and the financial position of Standex International Corporation (“Standex”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), at September 30, 2025. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes do not contain information which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended June 30, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in particular the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025. Unless otherwise noted, references to years are to the Company’s fiscal years. Currently the fiscal year end is June 30. For further clarity, the Company's fiscal year 2026 includes the twelve-month period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. Estimates are based on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities when they are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates assist in the identification and assessment of the accounting treatment necessary with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements have considered the implications on the Company as a result of ongoing global events and related economic impacts. As a result, there is heightened volatility and uncertainty around tariff actions, supply chain performance, labor availability, and customer demand. However, the magnitude of such impact on the Company’s business and its duration is uncertain. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or adjustments to the carrying value of its assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and the issuance date of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs, which are classified under selling, general, and administrative expenses were $
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company does not believe that the adoption of recently issued standards had or may have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. This ASU provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. This ASU also requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2025-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will be effective for the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal 2028 and Form 10-Q filed thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the U.S. government enacted The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 which includes, among other provisions, changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system including the allowance of immediate expensing of qualifying research and development expenses and permanent extensions of certain provisions within the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Certain provisions were effective for Standex beginning June 1, 2025. Based on the Company's current analysis of the provisions, the Company does not expect these tax law changes to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of these provisions throughout the remainder of the year.
2) Acquisitions
McStarlite
On February 5, 2025, the Company acquired
The purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a valuation of their fair values on the closing date. Goodwill recorded from this transaction is attributable to McStarlite's technical and applications expertise, which is highly complementary to the Company's existing business.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company made the following changes to the purchase price allocation of McStarlite as mentioned below:

Amran/Narayan Group
On October 28, 2024 (“Closing Date”), the Company acquired, in separate transactions,
Total consideration for Amran aggregated $
Additionally, on October 28, 2024, as contemplated by the Narayan Purchase Agreement, the Company, Mold-Tech Singapore and the owners of the remaining ownership interest in Narayan, which was not acquired by the Company, entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement. The Shareholders’ Agreement provides the noncontrolling interest holders with certain put rights upon the expiration of the Share Swap Provision. The noncontrolling interest holders will have the right (but not an obligation) to transfer up to their remaining interest in Narayan for a period of years ("Put Option Period") to Mold-Tech Singapore. Subsequent to the expiration of the Put Option Period, Mold-Tech Singapore will have the right (but not an obligation) to acquire the remaining interest in Narayan for an additional year consecutive period.
The purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest based on a valuation of their fair values on the Closing Date. Goodwill recorded from this transaction is attributable to Amran/Narayan Group’s technical and applications expertise, which is highly complementary to the Company's existing business.

The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma operating results of the Company for the period ended September 30, 2024, which give effect to the acquisition of the Amran/Narayan Group as if it had occurred effective July 1, 2023. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the acquisition been effective as of the date indicated, nor are they intended to be indicative of results that may occur in the future. The pro forma information does not include the effects of any synergies related to the Amran/Narayan Group acquisition, transactions between the entities prior to acquisition, or the pre-acquisition impact of other businesses acquired by the Company during this period as they were not material to the Company’s historical results of operations. Pro forma earnings during the periods presented were adjusted to include the following adjustments:
| (in thousands) | Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 | |||
| Net sales | $ | |||
| Net income | ||||
| ● | Amortization of inventory step-up to fair value assuming inventory turns within a two-month period; | |
| ● | Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets recognized at fair value that exceed one year as if acquired July 1, 2023; | |
| ● | Non-recurring acquisition-related costs have been excluded from net income; | |
| ● | Interest expense (including amortization of loan discount) on the Term Loan Credit Agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition as if the loan was obtained July 1, 2023. The interest rate assumed for purposes of the pro forma financial information was | |
| ● | Income tax expense (benefit) was adjusted related to the above pro forma adjustments using an estimated tax rate of |
With respect to each of the McStarlite and Amran/Narayan Group acquisitions, the estimated fair values of the indefinite lived tradenames were determined based on an income approach using the relief from royalty method, which assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of the tradenames assets. The cash flow projections the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the tradenames intangible assets involve several assumptions, including projected revenue growth, an estimated royalty rate, after-tax royalty savings expected from ownership of the tradenames, and a discount rate used to derive the estimated fair value of the tradenames. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships intangible assets were determined based on the income approach using the multi-period excess earnings method, which measures the economic benefit indirectly by calculating the income attributable to an asset after appropriate returns are paid to complementary assets used in conjunction with the subject asset to produce the earnings associated with the subject asset, commonly referred to as contributory asset charges. The fair value determination of the customer relationships intangible asset required us to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future cash flows and the selection of an appropriate discount rate to apply to future cash flows.
Acquisition Related Costs
Acquisition related costs include costs related to acquired businesses and other pending acquisitions. These costs consist of (i) deferred compensation arrangements and (ii) acquisition related professional service fees and expenses, including financial advisory, legal, accounting, and other outside services incurred in connection with integration and acquisition activities, and regulatory matters related to acquired entities. These costs do not include purchase accounting expenses, which we define as acquired backlog and the step-up of inventory to fair value, or the amortization of the acquired intangible assets.
Acquisition related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $
3) Revenue From Contracts With Customers
Most of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which represents the product or service being sold to the customer. Some contracts include multiple performance obligations such as a product and the related installation and/or extended warranty. Additionally, most of the Company’s contracts offer assurance type warranties in connection with the sale of a product to customers. Assurance type warranties provide a customer with assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. Assurance type warranties do not represent a separate performance obligation.
In general, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time control transfers to its customer based on predetermined shipping terms. Revenue is recognized over time under certain long-term contracts within the Engineering Technologies and Engraving segments for highly customized customer products that have no alternative use and in which the contract specifies the Company has a right to payment for its costs, plus a reasonable margin. For these products, the transfer of control is measured pro rata, based upon current estimates of costs to complete such contracts. Losses on contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become determinable. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected on a cumulative basis in the period in which the basis for such revision becomes known.

Contract Balances
Contract assets represent revenue recognized related to work completed but not yet billed as of the reporting date. Contract liabilities are customer deposits for which revenue has not been recognized. Current contract liabilities are recorded as accrued liabilities.
The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections results in billed receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. When consideration is received from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the goods and services are transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

4) Fair Value Measurements
The financial instruments shown below are presented at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models may be applied.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities and the methodologies used in valuation are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets consist of shares in various mutual funds (investments are participant-directed) which invest in a broad portfolio of debt and equity securities. These assets are valued based on publicly quoted market prices for the funds’ shares as of the balance sheet dates.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in an active market, that are observable either directly or indirectly through correlation with market data. For foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps, the Company values the instruments based on the market price of instruments with similar terms, which are based on spot and forward rates as of the balance sheet dates. The Company has considered the creditworthiness of counterparties in valuing all assets and liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based upon the Company’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between any levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy at September 30, 2025 or June 30, 2025. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the date they occur.
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

(a) The Company’s financial liabilities based upon Level 3 inputs comprise of contingent consideration arrangement relating to its acquisition of SEPL in the event that certain financial targets are achieved during the two years following its acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. The Company has determined the fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration based on an evaluation of the probability and amount of any deferred compensation that has been earned to date. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future payments was based on several factors, the most significant of which are typically the financial performance of the acquired business and the risk-adjusted discount rate for the fair value measurement. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 the reduction in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability was a result of the Company’s payment of $

Information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments is as follows:
Interest Rate Swaps
From time to time as dictated by market opportunities, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements designed to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness. The Company recognizes all derivatives on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company designates its interest rate swap agreements, including those that may be forward-dated, as cash flow hedges, and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swaps is reported in earnings within interest expense.

15) Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings, including claims related to environmental remediation, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s management does not believe that the outcome of any of the currently existing legal matters will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. The Company accrues for losses related to a claim or litigation when the Company’s management considers a potential loss probable and can reasonably estimate such potential loss.

18) Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
The redeemable noncontrolling interest consists of
In accounting for the subsequent measurement of the redeemable noncontrolling interest measurement adjustments pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company has made accounting policy elections to record any such applicable changes on the immediate recognition of the full adjustment required to report the redeemable noncontrolling interest at its redemption value, while also electing to record such adjustments under the income method, with a corresponding offset recorded to the Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries within the consolidated statement of operations for the period in which such measurement adjustment becomes required. Given the pending approval of the RBI for the second closing and share swap, the noncontrolling interest is not probable of redemption as of September 30, 2025, and accordingly no measurement adjustments have been recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Overview
We are a diversified industrial manufacturer with leading positions in a variety of products and services that are used in diverse commercial and industrial markets. We are headquartered in Salem, New Hampshire, and have six operating segments aggregated into five reportable segments: Electronics, Engineering Technologies, Scientific, Engraving, and Specialty Solutions. Two operating segments are aggregated into Specialty Solutions. Our businesses work in close partnership with our customers to deliver custom solutions or engineered components that solve their unique and specific needs, an approach we call "Customer Intimacy".
Our long-term business strategy is to create, improve, and enhance shareholder value by building more profitable, focused industrial platforms through our Standex Value Creation System. This methodology employs four components: Balanced Performance Plan, Growth Disciplines, Operational Excellence, and Talent Management and provides both a company-wide framework and tools used to achieve our goals. We intend to continue investing organically and inorganically in high margin and growth businesses using this balanced and proven approach.
It is our objective to grow larger and more profitable business units through a commitment to both organic and inorganic initiatives. We have a particular focus on identifying and investing in businesses, new products and new applications that complement our existing products and will increase our overall scale, global presence and capabilities. We continue to execute on acquisitions where strategically aligned with our businesses and where the opportunity meets our investment metrics. We have divested, and likely will continue to divest, businesses that we feel are not strategic or do not meet our growth and return expectations.
As a result of our portfolio moves over the past several years, we have transformed Standex to a company with a more focused group of businesses selling customized solutions to high value end markets via a compelling customer value proposition. The narrowing of the portfolio allows for greater management focus on driving operational disciplines and positions us well to use our cash flow from operations to invest selectively in our ongoing pipeline of organic and inorganic opportunities.
The Company’s strong historical cash flow has been a cornerstone for funding our capital allocation strategy. We use cash flow generated from operations to fund investments in capital assets to upgrade our facilities, improve productivity and lower costs, invest in the strategic growth programs described above, including organic growth, and to return cash to our shareholders through payment of dividends and stock buybacks.
Restructuring expenses reflect costs associated with our efforts of continuously improving operational efficiency and expanding globally in order to remain competitive in our end user markets. We incur costs for actions to size our businesses to a level appropriate for current economic conditions, improve our cost structure, enhance our competitive position and increase operating margins. Such expenses include costs for moving facilities to locations that allow for lower fixed and variable costs, external consultants who provide additional expertise starting up plants after relocation, downsizing operations because of changing economic conditions, and other costs resulting from asset redeployment decisions. Shutdown costs include severance, benefits, stay bonuses, lease and contract terminations, asset write-downs, costs of moving fixed assets, and moving and relocation costs. Vacant facility costs include maintenance, utilities, property taxes and other costs.
Because of the diversity of the Company’s businesses, end user markets and geographic locations, management does not use specific external indices to predict the future performance of the Company, other than general information about broad macroeconomic trends. Each of our individual business units serves niche markets and attempts to identify trends other than general business and economic conditions which are specific to its business and which could impact its performance. Those units report pertinent information to senior management, which uses it to the extent relevant to assess the future performance of the Company. A description of any such material trends is described below in the applicable segment analysis.
We monitor a number of key performance indicators (“KPIs”) including net sales, income from operations, backlog, effective income tax rate, gross profit margin, and operating cash flow. A discussion of these KPIs is included below. We may also supplement the discussion of these KPIs by identifying the impact of foreign exchange rates, acquisitions, and other significant items when they have a material impact on a specific KPI.
We believe the discussion of these items provides enhanced information to investors by disclosing their impact on the overall trend which provides a clearer comparative view of the KPI, as applicable. For discussion of the impact of foreign exchange rates on KPIs, we calculate the impact as the difference between the current period KPI calculated at the current period exchange rate as compared to the KPI calculated at the historical exchange rate for the prior period. For discussion of the impact of acquisitions, we isolate the effect on the KPI amount that would have existed regardless of such acquisition. Sales resulting from synergies between the acquisition and existing operations of the Company are considered organic growth for the purposes of our discussion.
Unless otherwise noted, references to years are to fiscal years.

Net sales increased in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 by $47.0 million or 27.6%, when compared to the prior year quarter. Acquisitions accounted for increased sales of $45.3 million or 26.6%. Foreign currency positively impacted sales by $0.6 million, or 0.4%. Organic sales increased $1.0 million, or 0.6%, primarily due to strong demand across space, defense and aviation end markets.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased to $90.4 million, or a gross margin of 41.6% as compared to $70.1 million, or a gross margin of 41.1%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The increase was a result of the continued evolution of our portfolio and continued focus on pricing disciplines and productivity actions.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased to $54.4 million, or 25.0% of sales as compared to $43.0 million, or 25.3% of sales during the prior year quarter. SG&A expenses during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 were primarily impacted by increased expenses due to the recent acquisitions and increased administrative and research and development expenses as compared to the prior year quarter.
Restructuring Costs
We incurred restructuring expenses of $6.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 primarily related to facility rationalization activities and announced closure of four sites in our Engraving segment. We have now substantially completed our restructuring activities in Engraving and are well positioned to better serve our customers.
We expect to start seeing realization of these restructuring actions during the second half of fiscal year 2026.
Acquisition Related Costs
We incurred acquisition related expenses of $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. Acquisition related expenses typically consist of due diligence, advisory, legal, integration, and valuation expenses incurred in connection with recent or pending acquisitions.
Income from Operations
Income from operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $29.6 million, compared to $24.1 million during the prior year quarter. The increase of $5.5 million, or 23.0%, is primarily due to the contributions from recent acquisitions and productivity improvement initiatives partially offset by increase in administrative and research and development expenses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $8.9 million, an increase from interest expense of $7.9 million from the prior year quarter. Our effective interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 6.10%.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and 2025 was 24.6% and 21.4%, respectively.
The tax rate was impacted in the current period by the following items: (i) the recognition of a discrete tax benefit related to equity compensation, (ii) changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings; (iii) foreign withholding taxes and (iv) federal research and development tax credits.
The tax rate was impacted in the prior period by the following items: (i) a discrete tax benefit related to equity compensation, (ii) variations in the geographical mix of earnings, (iii) foreign withholding taxes, and (iv) tax credits related to federal research and development tax activities.
Backlog
Backlog includes all active or open orders for goods and services. Backlog also includes any future deliveries based on executed customer contracts, so long as such deliveries are based on agreed upon delivery schedules. Backlog orders are not necessarily an indicator of future sales levels because of variations in lead times and customer production demand pull systems, with the exception of Engineering Technologies. Customers may delay delivery of products or cancel orders prior to shipment, subject to possible cancellation penalties. Due to the nature of long-term agreements in the Engineering Technologies segment, the timing of orders and delivery dates can vary considerably resulting in significant backlog changes from one period to another.

Discontinued Operations
In pursuing our business strategy, we may divest certain businesses. Future divestitures may be classified as discontinued operations based on their strategic significance to the Company. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2025, our total cash balance was $98.7 million, of which $78.9 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. The amount and timing of cash repatriation is dependent upon foreign exchange rates and each business unit’s operational needs including requirements to fund working capital, capital expenditure, and jurisdictional tax payments. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to capital controls; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations.
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $16.8 million compared to net cash provided by continuing operating activities of $17.5 million in the prior year. We generated $26.3 million from income statement activities and used $9.5 million of cash to fund working capital and other balance sheet increases. Cash flow used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $6.4 million and consisted primarily of cash used for capital expenditures. Cash used for financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $15.5 million and consisted primarily of repayments of borrowings of $8.0 million, cash paid for dividends of $3.8 million and activity under share-based payment plans of $1.1 million.
Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee on borrowed amounts as well as a commitment fee on unused amounts under the facility. The amount of the commitment fee depends upon both the undrawn amount remaining available under the facility and the funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) ratio at the last day of each quarter. As our funded debt to EBITDA ratio increases, the commitment fee increases.
Funds borrowed under the facility may be used for the repayment of debt, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions (so long as certain conditions, including a specified funded debt to EBITDA leverage ratio, are maintained), and other general corporate purposes.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we entered into a $250 million 364-day term loan with existing lenders. Also, during the period, we converted the 364-day term loan into an exercise of the accordion feature under our existing credit facilities. In connection with the conversion of the loan, we entered into a Second Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. This amendment expanded the total available credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement from $500 million to $825 million. As of September 30, 2025, we used $1.9 million against the letter of credit sub-facility and had the ability to borrow $197.6 million under the facility based on our current trailing twelve-month EBITDA. The facility contains customary representations, warranties and restrictive covenants, as well as specific financial covenants. Current financial covenants under the facility are as follows:
Interest Coverage Ratio We are required to maintain a ratio of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, as Adjusted (“Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility”), to interest expense for the trailing twelve months of at least 2.75:1. Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility specifically excludes extraordinary and certain other defined items such as cash restructuring and acquisition related charges up to the lower of $20.0 million or 10% of EBITDA. The facility also allows for unlimited non-cash purchase accounting and goodwill adjustments. At September 30, 2025, the Interest Coverage Ratio was 4.62:1.
Leverage Ratio The ratio of funded debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA per the Credit Facility, calculated as Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility plus depreciation and amortization, may not exceed 3.5:1. Under certain circumstances in connection with a Material Acquisition (as defined in the Facility), the Facility allows for the leverage ratio to go as high as 4.0:1 for a four-fiscal quarter period. At September 30, 2025, the leverage ratio was 2.62:1.
As of September 30, 2025, we had borrowings under our facility of $544.6 million. In order to manage our interest rate exposure on these borrowings, we are party to $225 million of active floating to fixed rate swaps. These swaps convert our interest payments from SOFR to a weighted average fixed rate of 3.48%. The effective rate of interest for our outstanding borrowings, including the impact of the interest rate swaps, was 6.10%.
Our primary cash requirements in addition to day-to-day operating needs include interest payments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases, and dividends. Our primary sources of cash for these requirements are cash flows from continuing operations and borrowings under the facility. We expect fiscal year 2026 capital spending to be between $33.0 million and $38.0 million. We expect that fiscal year 2026 depreciation and amortization expense will be between $24.0 million and $26.0 million and $15.5 million and $17.5 million, respectively.

We sponsor a number of defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans. The U.S. pension plan is frozen for substantially all participants. We have evaluated the current and long-term cash requirements of these plans, and our existing sources of liquidity are expected to be sufficient to cover required contributions under ERISA and other governing regulations.
The fair value of our U.S. defined benefit pension plan assets was $149.7 million at September 30, 2025, as compared to $146.4 million at the most recent measurement date, which occurred as of June 30, 2025. The next measurement date to determine plan assets and benefit obligations will be on June 30, 2026.
Contributions of $1.3 million and $3.4 million were made during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We expect to pay $5.7 million in contributions to our defined benefit plans during the remainder of fiscal year 2026 comprising of $5.4 million and $0.3 million to our unfunded defined benefit plans in the U.S. and Germany, respectively. There are no required contributions to the plans in Japan or the U.K. Any subsequent plan contributions will depend on the results of future actuarial valuations.
We have an insurance program in place to fund supplemental retirement income benefits for two retired executives. Current executives and new hires are not eligible for this program. At September 30, 2025, the underlying policies had a cash surrender value of $6.5 million and are reported net of loans of $2.7 million for which we have the legal right of offset, these amounts are reported net on our balance sheet.
Other Matters
Tariff – Several of our segments may be impacted by recent tariff announcements. While we cannot predict the impact of potential new tariffs on global trade and economic growth, our regional presence, strong customer relationships, and our disciplined approach to pricing and productivity actions position us well to manage through these challenges. We monitor the regulatory environment and continue to make adjustments whenever it is deemed necessary. Most of our supply chain is strategically located to service regional demand. We plan to continue to invest in our key strategic growth priorities while closely managing our cost structure and driving productivity and pricing actions and seeking alternate sources of supply to further reduce the impact of tariffs as appropriate.
Inflation – Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, occupancy costs, freight and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Inflation for medical costs can impact both our employee benefit costs as well as our reserves for workers' compensation claims. We monitor the inflationary rate and make adjustments to reserves whenever it is deemed necessary. Our ability to control worker compensation insurance medical cost inflation is dependent upon our ability to manage claims and purchase insurance coverage to limit our maximum exposure. Each of our segments is subject to the effects of changing raw material costs caused by the underlying commodity price movements. We have experienced price fluctuations for a number of materials including rhodium, steel, and other metal commodities. These materials are some of the key elements in the products manufactured in these segments. Wherever possible, we will implement price increases to offset the impact of changing prices. The ultimate acceptance of these price increases will be impacted by our affected divisions’ respective competitors and the timing of their price increases. In general, we do not enter into purchase contracts that extend beyond one operating cycle. While Standex considers our relationship with our suppliers to be good, there can be no assurances that we will not experience any supply shortage.
Foreign Currency Translation – Our primary functional currencies used by our non-U.S. subsidiaries are the Euro, British Pound Sterling (Pound), Japanese (Yen), Peso, Chinese (Yuan) and Indian (Rupee).
Defined Benefit Pension Plans – We record expenses related to these plans based upon various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates, mortality rates, and assumed rates of returns. Our pension plan is frozen for substantially all eligible U.S. employees and participants in the plan ceased accruing future benefits.
Environmental Matters – To the best of our knowledge, we believe that we are presently in substantial compliance with all existing applicable environmental laws and regulations and do not anticipate any instances of non-compliance that will have a material effect on our future capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Seasonality – We are a diversified business with generally low levels of seasonality.
Employee Relations – We have labor agreements with several union locals in the United States and several European employees belong to European trade unions.
Critical Accounting Policies
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standex International Corporation and all of its subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Although we believe that materially different amounts would not be reported due to the accounting policies adopted, the application of certain accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025 lists a number of accounting policies which we believe to be the most critical.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Risk Management
We are exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and changes in foreign currency exchange. To reduce these risks, we selectively use, from time to time, financial instruments and other proactive management techniques. We have internal policies and procedures that place financial instruments under the direction of the Treasurer and restrict all derivative transactions to those intended for hedging purposes only. The use of financial instruments for trading purposes (except for certain investments in connection with the non-qualified defined contribution plan) or speculation is strictly prohibited. No majority-owned subsidiaries are excluded from the consolidated financial statements. Further, we have no interests in or relationships with any special purpose entities.
Exchange Rate Risk
We are exposed to both transactional risk and translation risk associated with exchange rates. The transactional risk is mitigated, in large part, by natural hedges developed with locally denominated debt service on intercompany accounts. We also mitigate certain of our foreign currency exchange rate risks by entering into forward foreign currency contracts from time to time. The contracts are used as a hedge against anticipated foreign cash flows, such as loan payments, customer remittances, and materials purchases, and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The fair values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates from market rates would decrease the fair value of the contracts. However, any such losses or gains would generally be offset by corresponding gains and losses, respectively, on the related hedged asset or liability. At September 30, 2025 the fair value, in the aggregate, of our open foreign exchange contracts was a liability of $0.5 million.
Our primary translation risk is with the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Peso, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan. A hypothetical 10% appreciation or depreciation of the value of any these foreign currencies to the U.S. Dollar at September 30, 2025, would not result in a material change in our operations, financial position, or cash flows. We hedge our most significant foreign currency translation risks primarily through cross currency swaps and other instruments, as appropriate.
Interest Rate Risk
Our effective interest rate on borrowings was 6.10% at September 30, 2025. Our interest rate exposure is limited primarily to interest rate changes on our variable rate borrowings (currently based on a rolling 1-month SOFR) and is partially mitigated by our use of an interest rate swap agreement to modify our exposure to interest rate movements. At September 30, 2025, we have $225 million of active floating to fixed rate swaps with terms through August 2028. These swaps convert our interest payments from a SOFR-based rate to a fixed rate of 3.48% on $225 million of debt. At September 30, 2025, the fair value, in the aggregate, of the interest rate swaps was a liability of $1.1 million. A 25-basis point increase in interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $0.9 million.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We have a diversified customer base. As such, the risk associated with concentration of credit risk is inherently minimized. As of September 30, 2025, no one customer accounted for more than 5% of our consolidated outstanding receivables or of our sales.
Commodity Prices
We are exposed to fluctuating market prices for all commodities used in our manufacturing processes. Each of our segments is subject to the effects of changing raw material costs caused by the underlying commodity price movements. In general, we do not enter into purchase contracts that extend beyond one operating cycle. While Standex considers our relationship with our suppliers to be good, there can be no assurances that we will not experience any supply shortage.
The Engineering Technologies, Specialty Solutions, and Electronics segments are sensitive to price increases for steel and aluminum products, other metal commodities such as rhodium and copper, and petroleum-based products. We have experienced price fluctuations for a number of materials including rhodium, steel, and other metal commodities. These materials are some of the key elements in the products manufactured in these segments. Wherever possible, we will implement price increases to offset the impact of changing prices. The ultimate acceptance of these price increases, if implemented, will be impacted by our affected divisions’ respective competitors and the timing of their price increases.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
At the end of the period covered by this Report, the management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025 in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
