NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CSW Industrials, Inc. (“CSWI,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a diversified industrial growth company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. We operate in three business segments: Contractor Solutions, Specialized Reliability Solutions and Engineered Building Solutions. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVAC/R”), plumbing products, grilles, registers and diffusers (“GRD”), building safety solutions and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, general industrial, energy, rail transportation and mining. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States (“U.S.”), Vietnam and Canada, and we have distribution operations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our products are sold directly to end users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, primarily including the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.

Drawing on our innovative and proven technologies, we seek to deliver solutions primarily to contractors that place a premium on superior performance and reliability. We believe our brands are well-known in the specific end markets we serve and have a reputation for high quality. We rely on both organic growth and inorganic growth through acquisitions to provide an increasingly broad portfolio of performance optimizing solutions that meet our customers’ ever-changing needs. We have a successful record of making attractive, synergistic acquisitions in support of this objective, and we remain focused on identifying additional acquisition opportunities in our core end markets.

Many of our products are used to protect the capital assets of our customers that are expensive to repair or replace and are critical to their operations. We have a source of recurring revenue from the maintenance, repair and overhaul and consumable nature of many of our products. We also provide some custom engineered products that strengthen and enhance our customer relationships. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as AC Guard®, Air Sentry®, Balco®, Cover Guard®, Deacon®, Dust Free®, Falcon Stainless®, Greco®, Jet-Lube®, Kopr-Kote®, Leak Freeze®, Metacaulk®, No. 5®, OilSafe®, RectorSeal®, Safe-T-Switch®, Shoemaker Manufacturing®, Smoke Guard®, TRUaire® and Whitmore®.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 (“Quarterly Report”), include all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities directly attributable to CSWI and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements are for us and our consolidated subsidiaries, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary, except our 50% investment in a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary and therefore have consolidated into our financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of CSWI’s financial position as of June 30, 2024, and the results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in CSWI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).

Accounting Policies

We have consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Developments

Pronouncements not yet implemented

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which provides updates to qualitative and quantitative reportable segment disclosure requirements, including enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and increased interim disclosure requirements, among others. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied retrospectively. This ASU will be effective for our Form 10-K for fiscal 2025 and our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, among others, in order to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures, including consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation by jurisdiction of income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. This ASU will be effective for our Form 10-K for fiscal 2026. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our financial statement disclosures.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Dust Free, LP

On February 6, 2024, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Dust Free, LP ("Dust Free"), based in Royse City, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of $34.2 million (including $0.6 million cash acquired), comprised of cash consideration of $27.4 million (including a final working capital true-up receipt of $0.5 million) and contingent considerations initially measured at $6.8 million based on Dust Free meeting defined operational and financial targets over a period of 6 years. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7). The Dust Free products offer residential and commercial indoor air quality and HVAC/R applications and supplement our Contractor Solutions segment's existing product portfolio. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was classified as a long-term liability of $6.8 million, of which $2.1 million was determined using an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations and $4.7 million was determined using a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results. During the year ended March 31, 2024, we incurred $0.7 million in transaction expenses in connection with the Dust Free acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the Contractor Solutions segment.

The Dust Free acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805"). The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $3.2 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning products that are complementary to our existing HVAC/R offerings and provide a meaningful value proposition to our customers. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired comprises customer lists ($20.1 million), trademark ($1.6 million), accounts receivable ($2.9 million), cash ($0.6 million), inventory ($4.1 million), other current asset ($0.4 million) and equipment ($3.6 million), net of current liabilities (2.3 million). Customer lists are being amortized over 15 years and the definite-life trademark ($0.6 million) is being amortized over 2 years while the indefinite-life trademark ($1.0 million) and goodwill are not being amortized. The Company's evaluation of the facts and circumstances available as of February 6, 2024, to assign fair values to assets acquired is ongoing. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill and all intangible assets are deductible and amortized over 15 years for income tax purposes. Dust Free activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

3. CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Whitmore Joint Venture

On April 1, 2021, Whitmore Manufacturing, LLC (“Whitmore”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSWI, completed the formation of the joint venture (the "Whitmore JV") with Pennzoil-Quaker State Company dba SOPUS Products (“Shell”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell USA, Inc. that comprises Shell’s U.S. lubricants business.

The Whitmore JV is deemed to be a VIE as the equity investors at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The major factor that led to the conclusion that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE is that Whitmore has the power to direct the most significant activities due to its ability to direct the manufacturing decisions of the Whitmore JV. Whitmore JV's total net assets are presented below (in thousands):


	June 30, 2024		March 31, 2024
Cash	$	6,281	$	5,909
Accounts receivable, net	8,362		8,094
Inventories, net	3,148		3,851
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	332		138

Other assets	412		315
Total assets	$	38,271	$	38,217

Accounts payable	$	5,872	$	6,004
Accrued and other current liabilities	1,052		1,463
Other long-term liabilities	278		206
Total liabilities	$	7,202	$	7,673

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Whitmore JV generated net income of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

The Whitmore JV's LLC Agreement contains a put option that gives either member the right to sell its 50% equity interest in the Whitmore JV to the other member at a dollar amount equivalent to 90% of the initiating member's equity interest determined based on the fair market value of the Whitmore JV's net assets. This put option can be exercised, at either member's discretion, by providing written notice to the other member during the month of July 2024 and every two years afterwards. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the higher of the redemption value or carrying value each reporting period. Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interest for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):


	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023

(a) Including incremental shares granted as a result of performance-based awards vested exceeding 100%

During the restriction period, the holders of restricted shares are entitled to vote and receive dividends. Unvested restricted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 included 96,509 and 98,029 shares (at target), respectively, with performance-based vesting provisions, and a vesting range of 0%-200% based on pre-defined performance targets with market conditions. Performance-based awards accrue dividend equivalents, which are settled upon (and to the extent of) vesting of the underlying award and do not have the right to vote until vested. Performance-based awards are earned upon the achievement of objective performance targets and are payable in common shares. Compensation expense is calculated based on the fair market value as determined by a Monte Carlo simulation and is recognized over a 36-month cliff vesting period. We granted 18,962 and 29,120 awards with performance-based vesting provisions during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

At June 30, 2024, we had unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted shares of $22.5 million, which will be amortized into net income over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 2.2 years. The total fair value of restricted shares granted during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $6.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $9.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

(a) Represents the interest rate effective on June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively, excluding the impact from the interest rate swap.

Revolving Credit Facility

As discussed in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report, prior to December 2022, we maintained a $400.0 million revolving credit facility that contained a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans, with an additional $150.0 million accordion feature ("Second Credit Agreement"). The credit facility is scheduled to mature on May 18, 2026. Borrowings under the Second Credit Agreement bore interest at either base rate plus between 0.25% to 1.50% or LIBOR plus between 1.25% to 2.50%, based on the Company’s leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis. The base rate is described in the Second Credit Agreement as the highest of (i) the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal, and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. We pay a commitment fee between 0.15% to 0.40% based on the Company's leverage ratio for the unutilized portion of this facility. Interest and commitment fees are payable at least quarterly and the outstanding principal balance is due at the maturity date. The Second Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all tangible and intangible assets and stock issued by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to specified exceptions, and 65% of the voting equity interests in its first-tier foreign subsidiaries.

On December 15, 2022, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Second Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to utilize a portion of the accordion feature, thus increasing the commitment from $400.0 million to $500.0 million, and concurrently reduced the available incremental accordion by a corresponding amount (the term "Revolving Credit Facility" as used throughout this document refers to the Second Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment, as applicable). The Second Amendment also replaced the LIBOR Rate with individualized metrics based on the specific denomination of borrowings, including a metric based on Term SOFR (as defined in the Second Credit Agreement) for borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Company incurred a total of $0.7 million in underwriting fees in connection with the Second Amendment, which are being amortized over the remaining term of the Second Credit Agreement.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we borrowed $7.7 million and repaid $58.7 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we had $115.0 million and $166.0 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which resulted in borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility of $385.0 million and $334.0 million, respectively. The financial covenants contained in the Second Credit Agreement require the maintenance of a maximum leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, subject to a temporary increase to 3.75 to 1.00 for 18 months following the consummation of permitted acquisitions with consideration in excess of certain threshold amounts set forth in the Second Credit Agreement. The Second Credit Agreement also requires the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00, the calculations and terms of which are defined in the Second Credit Agreement. Covenant compliance is tested quarterly, and we were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2024.

Interest payments on the first $100.0 million borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility are hedged under an interest rate swap agreement as described in Note 9.

8. LEASES

We have operating leases for manufacturing facilities, offices, warehouses, vehicles and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 24 years, some of which include escalation clauses and/or options to extend or terminate the leases. We do not currently have any financing lease arrangements.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

We enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge exposure to floating interest rates on certain portions of our debt. All interest rate swaps are highly effective.

On February 7, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on the first $100.0 million borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility. This interest rate swap fixes the one-month SOFR rate at 3.85% for the first $100.0 million borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility and will expire on May 18, 2026. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we had $100.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding designated interest rate swaps with third parties.

The fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument is summarized below (in thousands):


	June 30, 2024		March 31, 2024
Current derivative asset	$	1,197	$	1,186
Non-current derivative asset	288		221

The impact of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap is included in Note 15.

Current and non-current derivative assets are reported in our consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively. Current and non-current derivative liabilities are reported in our consolidated balance sheets in accrued and other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 7, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $75.0 million of our common stock over a two-year period. On October 30, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock, which replaced the prior announced $75.0 million program. On December 16, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new $100.0 million share repurchase program, which replaced the previously announced $100.0 million program. Under the current repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases will be made at our discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. Our Board of Directors has established an expiration date of December 31, 2024, for completion of the current repurchase program; however, the program may be limited or terminated at any time at our discretion without notice.

Under the current $100.0 million repurchase program, a total 18,792 were repurchased for the three months ended June 30, 2024 for $4.7 million and no shares were repurchased for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

In connection with the vesting of share awards, a total of 14,283 shares for $3.3 million and 20,614 shares for $2.9 million were tendered by employees to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Dividends

On April 14, 2023, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.19 per share. On April 12, 2024, we announced another quarterly dividend increase to $0.21 per share. Total dividends of $3.3 million and $2.9 million were paid during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On July 12, 2024, we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share payable on August 9, 2024 to shareholders of record as of July 26, 2024. Any future dividends at the existing $0.21 per share quarterly rate or otherwise will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the interest rate swap contract (as discussed in Note 9) is determined using Level 2 inputs. The carrying value of our debt (discussed in Note 7) approximates fair value as it bears interest at variable rates. The carrying amounts of other financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable) approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 due to their short-term nature.

The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the higher of the redemption value or carrying value each reporting period. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires management judgment with respect to future revenue, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates and is classified as Level III under the fair value hierarchy. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is discussed in Note 3.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to acquisitions is determined using either a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results or an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations. The contingent consideration liability is recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and is remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value. The increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration can result from changes in future operations, forecasted revenue and assumed discount rates. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and is classified as Level III under the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the contingent consideration liability reported in the balance sheets was $7.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

13. CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no matters pending, whether individually or in the aggregate, that we currently believe have a reasonable possibility of having a material impact to our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

14. INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we earned $52.8 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $13.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.4%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), provision for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"), executive compensation limitations, and increases to penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions ("UTP"); offset by foreign tax credits and excess tax deductions related to equity compensation and foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII").

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we earned $41.5 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $10.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.2%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), executive compensation limitations, stock-based compensation deferred tax asset ("DTA") write-offs, and GILTI; offset by excess tax deductions related to FDII, non-controlling interest, foreign tax credits and R&D credits.

The Company expects $3.6 million of reserves for UTPs to either be settled or expire within the next 12 months as the statutes of limitations expire.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development introduced a framework under Pillar Two which includes a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Many jurisdictions in which we do business have started to enact laws implementing Pillar Two. We are monitoring these developments and currently do not believe these rules will have a material impact on our financial condition and/or consolidated results.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our operations financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report, as well as our consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations relating to future events and our future performance that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those risk factors set forth in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

Our Outlook

We expect to maintain a strong balance sheet in fiscal year 2025, which provides us with access to capital through our cash on hand, internally-generated cash flow and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our capital allocation strategy continues to guide our investing decisions, with a priority to direct capital to the highest risk adjusted return opportunities, within the categories of organic growth, strategic acquisitions and the return of cash to shareholders through our share repurchase and dividend programs. With the strength of our financial position, we will continue to invest in financially and strategically attractive expanded product offerings, key elements of our long-term strategy of targeting long-term profitable growth. We will continue to invest our capital in maintaining our facilities and in continuous improvement initiatives. We recognize the importance of, and remain committed to, continuing to drive organic growth, as well as investing additional capital in opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns, driving increased penetration in the end markets we serve. We remain disciplined in our approach to acquisitions, particularly as it relates to our assessment of valuation, prospective synergies, diligence, cultural fit and ease of integration, especially in light of economic conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides an analysis of our consolidated results of operations and results for each of our segments.

All acquisitions are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Dust Free, LP. ("Dust Free") activity has been included in our results within our Contractor Solutions segment since the February 6, 2024 acquisition date.

Revenues, net


	Three Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in thousands)	2024		2023
Revenues, net	$	226,177	$	203,360

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $22.8 million, or 11.2%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to organic sales growth of $15.6 million, or 7.7%, from the prior year period, driven primarily by increased unit volumes and pricing actions, as well as growth from the Dust Free acquisition of $7.2 million, or 3.5%. Net revenue increased in the HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, general industrial, plumbing and rail transportation end markets and decreased in the mining and energy end markets.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin


	Three Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in thousands, except percentages)	2024			2023
Gross profit	$	107,421		$	92,167
Gross profit margin	47.5		%	45.3		%

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $15.3 million, or 16.6%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily a result of the increased net revenue and increased operating leverage from the additional volume. Gross profit margin of 47.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased as compared to 45.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by a favorable product mix, improved leverage from volume increase and pricing actions, which offset an increase in ocean freight.

Operating Expenses


	Three Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in thousands, except percentages)	2024			2023
Operating expenses	$	52,361		$	46,961
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues, net	23.2		%	23.1		%

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $5.4 million, or 11.5%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to the inclusion of Dust Free and increased expenses related to employee compensation, business integrations, and strategic development activities. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased slightly to 23.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 23.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Operating Income


	Three Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in thousands, except percentages)	2024			2023
Operating income	$	55,060		$	45,206
Operating margin	24.3		%	22.2		%

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $9.9 million, or 21.8%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the increase in gross profit, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses, as discussed above.

Other Income and Expense

Net interest expense of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $1.5 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was due to reduced borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility as a result of strong operating cash flows generated.

Other income, net of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was comparable to the net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rate

The Company expects $3.6 million of reserves for UTPs to either be settled or expire within the next 12 months as the statutes of limitations expire.

Business Segments

We conduct our operations through three business segments based on how we manage the business. We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segment's operating income. The key operating results for our three segments are discussed below.

Contractor Solutions Segment Results

The Contractor Solutions segment manufactures efficiency and performance enhancing products predominantly for residential and commercial HVAC/R and plumbing applications, which are designed primarily for professional end-use customers.


	Three Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in thousands)	2024			2023
Revenues, net	$	160,418		$	139,954
Operating income	49,884			39,667
Operating margin	31.1		%	28.3		%

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $20.5 million, or 14.6%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was due to increased unit volumes and growth from the acquisition of Dust Free ($7.2 million or 5.1%), as well as a slight increase from pricing actions. Net revenue increased in all end markets served.

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $10.2 million, or 25.8%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by increased net revenue, partially offset by increases in operating expenses and ocean freight. Operating margin of 31.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased as compared to 28.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was due to gross margin improvement driven primarily by a favorable product mix and increased operating leverage from the additional volume, combined with the management of operating expenses.

Specialized Reliability Solutions Segment Results

The Specialized Reliability Solutions segment provides products for increasing reliability, efficiency, performance and lifespan of industrial assets and solving equipment maintenance challenges.


	Three Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in thousands)	2024			2023
Revenues, net	$	36,791		$	37,711
Operating income	7,150			6,966
Operating margin	19.4		%	18.5		%

Net revenues of $36.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $0.9 million, or 2.4%, to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was driven by a slight volume decrease. Net revenue decreased in the mining and energy end markets and increased in the general industrial and rail transportation end markets.

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $0.2 million, or 2.7%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2023. The slight increase was driven by an immaterial inventory adjustment. Operating margin of 19.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased as compared to 18.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the aforementioned inventory adjustment.

Engineered Building Solutions Segment Results

The Engineered Building Solutions segment provides primarily code-driven, life-safety products that are engineered to provide aesthetically-pleasing solutions for the construction, refurbishment and modernization of commercial, institutional and multi-family residential buildings.


	Three Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in thousands)	2024			2023
Revenues, net	$	30,894		$	27,587
Operating income	5,723			4,260
Operating margin	18.5		%	15.4		%

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $3.3 million, or 12.0%, as compared with the three months ended June 30, 2023 driven by the continued conversion of strong project bookings into revenue, market expansion through innovative products and focused efforts on high-growth markets.

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $1.5 million or 34.4% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by the increased net revenue and improved operating leverage. Operating margin of 18.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased as compared to 15.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to gross margin improvement resulting from improved operating leverage, manufacturing optimization and materials sourcing strategies, as well as reduced operating expense as a percentage of revenue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

Existing cash on hand, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility ("Revolver Borrowings") are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. Our ability to consistently generate strong cash flow from our operations is one of our most significant financial strengths; it enables us to invest in our people and our brands, make capital investments and strategic acquisitions, provide a cash dividend program, and from time-to-time, repurchase shares of our common stock. Additionally, we use our Revolver Borrowings to support our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and strategic acquisitions. We seek to maintain adequate liquidity to meet working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures, make scheduled interest payments on debt and meet our contingent consideration obligations. Absent deterioration of market conditions, we believe that cash flows from operating and financing activities, primarily Revolver Borrowings, will provide adequate resources to satisfy our working capital, scheduled interest payments on debt, anticipated dividend payments, periodic share repurchases, contingent consideration obligations and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for both our short-term and long-term capital needs.

Cash Flow Analysis


	Three Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in thousands)	2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	62,655	$	50,257
Net cash used in investing activities	(3,281)		(5,071)
Net cash used in financing activities	(62,153)		(48,811)

Our cash balance (including cash and cash equivalents) as of June 30, 2024 was $18.9 million, as compared with $22.2 million at March 31, 2024.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our cash provided by operating activities was $62.7 million, as compared with $50.3 million for three months ended June 30, 2023.

•Working capital provided cash for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to higher accounts payable and other current liabilities ($10.9 million) and lower prepaid expenses and other current assets ($3.4 million), partially offset by higher inventories ($6.8 million) and higher accounts receivable ($1.0 million).

•Working capital provided cash for the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to higher accounts payable and other current liabilities ($3.2 million), lower prepaid expenses and other current assets ($2.4 million), and lower inventories ($2.1 million), partially offset by higher accounts receivable ($4.3 million).

Cash flows used in financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $62.2 million and $48.8 million, respectively. Cash outflows resulted from:

•Net repayments on our Revolving Credit Facility (as discussed in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report) of $51.0 million and $43.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

•As discussed in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, repurchases of shares under our share repurchase program of $4.6 million and $0.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

•Dividend payments of $3.3 million and $2.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities of various sizes. The cost and terms of any financing to be raised in conjunction with any acquisition, including our ability to raise capital, is a critical consideration in any such evaluation. Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report contains a discussion of the recent acquisitions.

Financing

Credit Facilities

See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of our indebtedness. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2024. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of our interest rate swaps.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained within this Quarterly Report. Our critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements were discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report. No significant changes to these policies, as described in our Annual Report, have occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The process of preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based

upon what we believe is the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Based on an assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, we believe that our consolidated financial statements provide a meaningful and fair perspective of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This is not to suggest that other general risk factors, such as changes in worldwide demand, changes in material costs, performance of acquired businesses and others, could not adversely impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

We have presented the information about pronouncements not yet implemented in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, if any.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements appearing in this Quarterly Report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include expected restructuring charges and the results of the restructuring, financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “potential,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to, or statements that are subject to risks, contingencies or uncertainties that relate to:

•our business strategy;

•changes in local political, economic, social and labor conditions;

•potential disruptions from wars and military conflicts, including geopolitical uncertainty due to the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine;

•future levels of revenues, operating margins, income from operations, net income or earnings per share;

•the ability to respond to anticipated inflationary pressure, including reductions on consumer discretionary income and our ability to pass along rising costs through increased selling prices;

•anticipated levels of demand for our products and services;

•the actual impact to supply, production levels and costs from global supply chain logistics and transportation challenges;

•future levels of research and development, capital, environmental or maintenance expenditures;

•our beliefs regarding the timing and effects on our business of health and safety, tax, environmental or other legislation, rules and regulations;

•the success or timing of completion of ongoing or anticipated capital, restructuring or maintenance projects;

•expectations regarding the acquisition or divestiture of assets and businesses;

•our ability to obtain appropriate insurance and indemnities;

•the potential effects of judicial or other proceedings, including tax audits, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;

•the anticipated effects of actions of third parties such as competitors, or federal, foreign, state or local regulatory authorities, or plaintiffs in litigation;

•the expected impact of accounting pronouncements; and

•the other factors listed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and other filings with the SEC.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements for a number of important factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report. You should not put undue reliance on any forwarding-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We seek to minimize the risk associated with changes in interest rates through regular operating and financing activities, and when deemed appropriate, through the use of an interest rate swap. It is our policy to enter into interest rate swaps only to the extent considered necessary to meet our risk management objectives. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Variable Rate Indebtedness

We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate indebtedness. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct effect on interest expense associated with our outstanding indebtedness. We manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings by means of interest rate swap agreements. On February 7, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on the first $100.0 million borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility (defined in Note 7). At June 30, 2024, we had $15.0 million in unhedged variable rate indebtedness with an average interest rate of 6.7%; each quarter point change in interest rates would result in a change of approximately less than $0.1 million in our interest expense on an annual basis, inclusive of the interest rate swap.

We may also be exposed to credit risk in derivative contracts we may use. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We have sought to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We conduct an immaterial portion of our operations outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our non-U.S. operations are conducted primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies, and include the Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar and Vietnamese dong. Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions denominated in a currency other than a non-U.S. operation’s functional currency. We recognized foreign currency net gain of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are included in other income, net on our consolidated statements of income. We realized a net gain (loss) associated with foreign currency translation of $(0.9) million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Based on a sensitivity analysis at June 30, 2024, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the three months ended June 30, 2024 would have impacted our net earnings by approximately 4%. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion relative to the U.S. dollar and that there are no indirect effects, such as changes in non-U.S. dollar sales volumes or prices.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The disclosure contained in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report is incorporated by reference into this “Item 1. Legal Proceedings.” In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are from time to time named defendants in certain lawsuits incidental to our business, including product liability claims that are insured, subject to applicable deductibles, and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving us and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not currently expect the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, careful consideration should be given to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of our Annual Report, which contain descriptions of significant factors that may cause the actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.

There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report and subsequent SEC filings. The risks described in this Quarterly Report, our Annual Report and in our other SEC filings or press releases from time to time are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties are currently deemed immaterial based on management’s assessment of currently available information, which remains subject to change; however, new risks that are currently unknown to us may arise in the future that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report includes a discussion of our share repurchase programs. The following table represents the number of shares repurchased during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Under the current program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Our Board of Directors has established an expiration date of December 31, 2024, for completion of the current repurchase program; however, the program may be limited or terminated at any time at our discretion without notice. 71,925 shares have been repurchased under the current program.
