NOTES TO CONDENSED 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. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as AC Guard®, Air Sentry®, Balco®, Cover GuardTM, Deacon®, FalconTM, Greco®, Jet-Lube®, Kopr-Kote®, Leak Freeze®, Metacaulk®, No. 5®, OilSafe®, RectorSeal®, Safe-T-Switch®, Shoemaker Manufacturing®, Smoke Guard®, TRUaire® and Whitmore®. These products are distributed through an extensive wholesale distribution network serving the HVAC/R, architecturally-specified buildings products, plumbing, general industrial, energy, rail transportation and mining end markets. Our desire to develop solutions for our contractors, combined with the differentiated nature of our niche product offerings, drives loyalty to our brands. 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 and synergistic acquisitions that support expansion of our broad portfolio of solutions, and we remain focused on identifying additional acquisition opportunities in our core end markets.
We continue to assess and proactively manage the impacts of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business and geographies, including with respect to our employees, customers and communities and supply chain. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the COVID-19 pandemic had no direct or indirect material impact on our consolidated operating results. While the Federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Declaration expired on May 11, 2023, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
We continue to monitor the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its global impact. We have no operations, employees or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, nor do we source goods or services of any material amount from those countries, whether directly or indirectly. Since shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, we have had no commercial activities including sales in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. While the conflict continues to evolve and the outcome remains highly uncertain, we do not currently believe the Russia-Ukraine conflict will have a material impact on our business and results of operations. However, if the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues or worsens, leading to greater global economic or political disruptions and uncertainty, our business and results of operations could be materially impacted as a result.
We are monitoring the Israel and the Gaza Strip conflict and its global impact. While the conflict continues to evolve and the outcome remains uncertain, we do not currently believe the Gaza Strip conflict will have a material impact on our business and results of operations.

Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023 (“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 condensed 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 condensed 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 September 30, 2023, and the results of operations for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed 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, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).
Accounting Policies
We have consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Developments
There were not any recently adopted or newly issued accounting pronouncements for the three months ended September 30, 2023, that have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
2. ACQUISITIONS
Cover Guard, Inc. and AC Guard, Inc.
On July 8, 2022, we acquired the assets of Cover Guard, Inc. (“CG”) and AC Guard, Inc. ("ACG"), based in Orlando, Florida, for an aggregate purchase price of $18.4 million, comprised of cash consideration of $18.0 million and additional contingent considerations initially measured at $0.4 million based on CG and ACG meeting defined financial targets over a period of 5 years. In conjunction with the acquisition, we agreed to pay an additional $3.7 million, comprised of cash consideration of $1.5 million and 5-year annuity payments (value of $2.2 million) to a third party to secure the related intellectual property. The total cash consideration at closing of $19.5 million was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7). CG and ACG product lines further expand Contractor Solutions’ offering of leading HVAC/R accessories. Through these differentiated products, our Contractor Solutions segment expects to achieve incremental ductless and ducted HVAC/R market penetration. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was classified as a long-term liability of $0.4 million and was determined using an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations.
The CG and ACG acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 ("Topic 805"). The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was $1.8 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning products that are complementary to our existing HVAC/R and plumbing offerings and provide a meaningful value proposition to our end use customers. The allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired included customer lists ($9.8 million), patent ($1.8 million), trademarks ($0.7 million), inventory ($3.1 million), accounts receivable ($0.9 million) and equipment ($0.3 million). Customer lists and patents are being amortized over 15 years and 10 years, respectively, while trademarks and goodwill are not being amortized. The Company completed the analysis of the assets acquired, liabilities assurmed and the related allocation during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Goodwill and all intangible assets, including customer lists, trademarks and patent are deductible and amortized over 15 years for income tax purposes. CG and ACG activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.
8
The additional $3.7 million we agreed to pay a third party was accounted for as an acquisition of intellectual property and is being amortized over 15 years.
Falcon Stainless, Inc.
On October 4, 2022, we acquired 100 % of the outstanding equity of Falcon Stainless, Inc. ("Falcon"), based in Temecula, California, for an aggregate purchase price of $37.1 million (including $1.0 million cash acquired), comprising cash consideration of $34.6 million and an additional payment of $2.5 million due one-year from the acquisition date assuming certain business conditions are met. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7). Falcon products are well-known among the professional trades for supplying enhanced water flow delivery and customer satisfaction and supplement our Contractor Solutions segment's existing product portfolio.
The Falcon acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under Topic 805. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was $17.5 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning products that are complementary to our existing plumbing offerings and provide a meaningful value proposition to our end use customers. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired comprises customer lists ($17.7 million), trademarks ($4.7 million), accounts receivable ($1.4 million), cash ($1.0 million), inventory ($0.7 million), other current asset ($0.1 million) and other assets ($3.0 million), net of current liabilities (0.7 million) and other liabilities ($8.4 million). Customer lists are being amortized over 15 years, while trademarks and goodwill are not being amortized. The Company's evaluation of the facts and circumstances available as of October 4, 2022, 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 not deductible for income tax purposes. Falcon 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 Oil Company 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):

| Other long-term liabilities | |||||
| Total liabilities | $ | ||||
During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Whitmore JV generated net income of $1.1 million.
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 six-month period ended September 30, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):

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 29,120 and 21,087 awards with performance-based vesting provisions during the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with a vesting range of 0 %-200 %.

Revolving Credit Facility
As discussed in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report, prior to May 2021, we maintained a five-year , $300.0 million revolving credit facility agreement (the "First Credit Agreement"), which was scheduled to mature on September 15, 2022. On May 18, 2021, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Credit Agreement”), which replaced the First Credit Agreement and provides for a $400.0 million revolving credit facility that contains 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 million accordion feature. The Second Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on May 18, 2026. The Company incurred a total of $2.3 million in underwriting fees in connection with the Second Credit Agreement, which are being amortized over the life of the Second Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Second Credit Agreement bear interest at either base rate plus between 0.25 % to 1.5 % or LIBOR plus between 1.25 % to 2.5 %, 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 0.4 % 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 First Credit Agreement, 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 $0.2 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 six months ended September 30, 2023, we borrowed $38.7 million and repaid $118.7 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, we had $173.0 million and $253.0 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which resulted in borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility of $327.0 million and $247.0 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 September 30, 2023.
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.

Whitmore Term Loan
Prior to January 20, 2023, Whitmore maintained a secured term loan (the "Whitmore Term Loan") related to a warehouse and corporate office building and the remodel of an existing manufacturing and research and development facility. The Whitmore Term Loan required payments of $0.1 million each quarter. Borrowings under this term loan bore interest at a rate of one month LIBOR plus 2.0 %. On January 20, 2023, the Whitmore Term Loan was paid off using borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility discussed above. As such, as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, there were no
Interest payments under the Whitmore Term Loan were hedged under an interest rate swap agreement until January 9, 2023, when the interest rate swap agreement was terminated.
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.
Prior to January 9, 2023, we had an interest rate swap entered to hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on our Whitmore Term Loan. On January 9, 2023, this interest rate swap was terminated when the loan was paid off and resulted in a cash receipt of $0.2 million.
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 May 18, 2026. As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, 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):

11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
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.
As of September 30, 2023, 6,431 shares have been repurchased under the current $100.0 million repurchase program for $1.1 million. Under the prior $100.0 million repurchase program, 335,481 shares were repurchased during the six months ended September 30, 2022 for $35.6 million.
Dividends
We commenced a quarterly dividend program in April 2019. On April 14, 2022, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.17 per share. On April 14, 2023, we announced another quarterly dividend increase to $0.19 per share. Total dividends of $2.9 million and $2.6 million were paid during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Total dividends of $5.9 million and $5.3 million were paid during the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

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 September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 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.
13. CONTINGENCIES
14. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we earned $40.6 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $10.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.7 %. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, we earned $82.1 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $20.9 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.4 %. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), executive compensation limitations, provision for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") and increase in the reserves of uncertain tax positions ("UTP"); offset by excess tax deductions related to Foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII"), non-controlling interest and excess deductions related to stock-based compensation, net of limitations.
In connection with the T.A. Industries, Inc. ("TRUaire") acquisition that closed in December 2020, the Company recognized a UTP of $17.3 million related to pre-acquisition tax periods. In addition, in accordance with the tax indemnification included in the TRUaire acquisition agreement, the seller provided a contractual indemnification to the Company for up to $12.5 million related to UTPs taken in pre-acquisition years and we recognized a tax indemnification asset of $12.5 million. This tax indemnification asset will either be settled or expire by December 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, as a result of the audit closure of a pre-acquisition tax period for TRUaire, $5.0 million of the tax indemnification asset was released along with the relevant UTP of $5.3 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, TRUaire's Vietnam entity concluded its audit for the tax periods from January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2022 and received an audit closing letter from the tax authority. As a result, $1.5 million of the UTP accrual (including penalties and interests accrued post-acquisition) was released and recorded as an income tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The remaining UTP accrual will be released upon the closure of the tax statutes. As of September 30, 2023, $7.5 million of the tax indemnification asset is reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets. In December 2023, this $7.5 million asset will either be settled or expire and will be recognized as non-cash other expense on the statement of income.
17
In connection with the Falcon acquisition that closed in October 2022, the Company recognized a UTP of $3.0 million related to pre-acquisition tax periods. In addition, in accordance with the tax indemnification included in the Falcon acquisition agreement, the sellers provided a contractual indemnification to the Company for up to $4.5 million related to UTPs taken in pre-acquisition years, and we recognized an initial tax indemnification asset of $3.0 million through purchase accounting, which will increase as additional interest and penalties on UTPs are accrued. This tax indemnification asset will either be settled or expire upon the closure of the tax statutes for the pre-acquisition periods. As of September 30, 2023, the UTP and the offsetting tax indemnification asset were $3.3 million, and $1.1 million of the UTP and the related tax indemnification asset are expected to expire in October 2023, upon the closure of the tax statutes. As of September 30, 2023, $1.1 million of the tax indemnification assets is reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets. In October 2023, this $1.1 million asset will either be settled or expire and will be recognized as non-cash other expense on the statement of income.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we earned $32.3 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $7.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.6 %. For the six months ended September 30, 2022, we earned $71.5 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $17.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.6 %. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to state income tax, net of federal benefit, executive compensation limitations, provision for GILTI and an increase in the reserves for UTP; offset by excess tax deductions related to FDII and excess tax deductions related to stock-based compensation, net of limitations.

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 condensed 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, 2023 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
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. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as AC Guard®, Air Sentry®, Balco®, Cover GuardTM, Deacon®, FalconTM, Greco®, Jet-Lube®, Kopr-Kote®, Leak Freeze®, Metacaulk®, No. 5®, OilSafe®, RectorSeal®, Safe-T-Switch®, Shoemaker Manufacturing®, Smoke Guard®, TRUaire® and Whitmore®. These products are distributed through an extensive wholesale distribution network serving the HVAC/R, architecturally-specified buildings products, plumbing, general industrial, energy, rail transportation and mining end markets. Our desire to develop solutions for our contractors, combined with the differentiated nature of our niche product offerings, drives loyalty to our brands. 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 and synergistic acquisitions that support expansion of our broad portfolio of solutions, and we remain focused on identifying additional acquisition opportunities in our core end markets.
We continue to assess and proactively manage the impacts of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business and geographies, including with respect to our employees, customers and communities and supply chain. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the COVID-19 pandemic had no direct or indirect material impact on our consolidated operating results. While the Federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Declaration expired on May 11, 2023, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
We continue to monitor the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its global impact. We have no operations, employees or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, nor do we source goods or services of any material amount from those countries, whether directly or indirectly. Since shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, we have had no commercial activities including sales in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. While the conflict continues to evolve and the outcome remains highly uncertain, we do not currently believe the Russia-Ukraine conflict will have a material impact on our business and results of operations. However, if the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues or worsens, leading to greater global economic or political disruptions and uncertainty, our business and results of operations could be materially impacted as a result.
We are monitoring the Israel and the Gaza Strip conflict and its global impact. While the conflict continues to evolve and the outcome remains uncertain, we do not currently believe the conflict will have a material impact on our business and results of operations.
22
Our Outlook
We expect to maintain a strong balance sheet in fiscal year 2024, 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 condensed consolidated results of operations and results for each of our segments.
All acquisitions are described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Falcon Stainless, Inc. ("Falcon") activity has been included in our results within our Contractor Solutions segment since the October 4, 2022 acquisition date. Cover Guard, Inc. (“CG”) and AC Guard, Inc.

Other Income and Expense
Net interest expense of $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $0.2 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Net interest expense of $7.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 increased $2.4 million as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in both three and six months ended September 30, 2023 was due to higher interest rates, partially offset by reduced borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility as a result of strong operating cash flows generated during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and the benefit from our current $100 million interest rate swap.
Other income, net increased $1.9 million to net income of $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with net income of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Other income, net increased $2.0 million to net income of $2.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with net income of $0.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in both three and six months ended September 30, 2023 was due to a gain of $1.4 million recognized from the sale of a property previously held for investment, in addition to gains arising from transactions in currencies other than functional currencies.
Provision for Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rate
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we earned $40.6 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $10.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.7%. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, we earned $82.1 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $20.9 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.4%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), executive compensation limitations, provision for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") and increase in the reserves of uncertain tax positions ("UTP"); offset by excess tax deductions related to Foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII"), non-controlling interest and excess deductions related to stock-based compensation, net of limitations.
In connection with the the T.A. Industries, Inc. ("TRUaire") cquisition that closed in December 2020, the Company recognized a UTP of $17.3 million related to pre-acquisition tax periods. In addition, in accordance with the tax indemnification included in the TRUaire acquisition agreement, the seller provided a contractual indemnification to the Company for up to $12.5 million related to UTPs taken in pre-acquisition years and we recognized a tax indemnification asset of $12.5 million. This tax indemnification asset will either be settled or expire by December 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, as a result of the audit closure of a pre-acquisition tax period for TRUaire, $5.0 million of the tax indemnification asset was released along with the relevant UTP of $5.3 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, TRUaire's Vietnam entity concluded its audit for the tax periods from January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2022 and received an audit closing letter from the tax authority. As a result, $1.5 million of the UTP accrual (including penalties and interests accrued post-acquisition) was released and recorded as an income tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
25
The remaining UTP accrual will be released upon the closure of the tax statutes. As of September 30, 2023, $7.5 million of the tax indemnification asset is reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets. In December 2023, this $7.5 million asset will either be settled or expire and will be recognized as non-cash other expense on the statement of income.
In connection with the Falcon acquisition that closed in October 2022, the Company recognized a UTP of $3.0 million related to pre-acquisition tax periods. In addition, in accordance with the tax indemnification included in the Falcon acquisition agreement, the sellers provided a contractual indemnification to the Company for up to $4.5 million related to UTPs taken in pre-acquisition years, and we recognized an initial tax indemnification asset of $3.0 million through purchase accounting, which will increase as additional interest and penalties on UTPs are accrued. This tax indemnification asset will either be settled or expire upon the closure of the tax statutes for the pre-acquisition periods. As of September 30, 2023, the UTP and the offsetting tax indemnification asset were $3.3 million, and $1.1 million of the UTP and the related tax indemnification asset are expected to expire in October 2023, upon the closure of the tax statutes. As of September 30, 2023, $1.1 million of the tax indemnification assets is reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets. In October 2023, this $1.1 million asset will either be settled or expire and will be recognized as non-cash other expense on the statement of income.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we earned $32.3 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $7.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.6%. For the six months ended September 30, 2022, we earned $71.5 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $17.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.6%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to state income tax, net of federal benefit, executive compensation limitations, provision for GILTI and an increase in the reserves for UTP; offset by excess tax deductions related to FDII and excess tax deductions related to stock-based compensation, net of limitations.
One of our Canadian subsidiaries received proposed assessments resulting from audits by the taxing authority for tax years 2017-2020, and we have included the immaterial impact of the proposed assessments in the income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2023.

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. 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, and make scheduled interest payments on debt. Absent deterioration of market conditions, we believe that cash flows from operating and financing activities, primarily in the form of Revolver Borrowings, will provide adequate resources to satisfy our working capital, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, anticipated dividend payments, periodic share repurchases, and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for both our short-term and long-term capital needs.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities of various sizes.

Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report contains a discussion of the recent acquisitions.
Financing
Credit Facilities
See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of our indebtedness. We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2023. See Note 9 to our condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained within this Quarterly Report. Our critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our condensed 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 six months ended September 30, 2023.
The process of preparing condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, if any.

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. As discussed in Note 9, the Whitmore Term Loan interest rate swap was terminated on January 9, 2023. 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 September 30, 2023, we had $73.0 million in unhedged variable rate indebtedness with an average interest rate of 6.7%. Starting in April 2023, each quarter point change in interest rates would result in a change of approximately $0.2 million in our interest expense on an annual basis, inclusive of the interest rate swap.
31
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 a small 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 transaction net gain of $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are included in other expense, net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. We realized a net gain (loss) associated with foreign currency translation of $(2.4) million and $(3.4) million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Based on a sensitivity analysis at September 30, 2023, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the six months ended September 30, 2023 would have impacted our net earnings by a negligible amount. 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 September 30, 2023 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 condensed 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.
33
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Note 11 to our condensed 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 September 30, 2023.

(a) On December 16, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock, which replaced a previously announced $100.0 million program. 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. 6,431 shares have been repurchased under the current program.
