RBC Bearings Incorporated
Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by RBC Bearings Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim financial statements included with this report have been prepared on a consistent basis with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020. We condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “RBC” and the “Company” mean RBC Bearings Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.
These statements reflect all adjustments, accruals and estimates, consisting only of items of a normal recurring nature, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 27, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire fiscal year ending April 3, 2021. The three-month periods ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 each include 13 weeks. The amounts shown are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 28, 2020. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting new accounting standards are discussed below.
Recent Accounting Standards Adopted
In September 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance replaces the current incurred loss approach with a new expected credit loss impairment model. The new model applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in leases, loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics are grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the estimate, so its application requires significant judgment. The Company adopted this accounting standard update in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The objective of this standard update is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, assuming the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
7
Recent Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The objective of this standard update is to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. This ASU also attempts to improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after April 3, 2021 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company operates in four business segments with similar economic characteristics, including nature of the products and production processes, distribution patterns and classes of customers. Revenue is disaggregated within these business segments by our two principal end markets: aerospace and industrial. Comparative information of the Company’s overall revenues for the three-month periods ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 are as follows:
Principal End Markets

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining
performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders meeting the definition of a contract under Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 606 for which work has not been performed or has been partially performed and excludes unexercised contract
options. The duration of many of our contracts, as defined by ASC 606, is less than one year. The Company has elected to apply
the practical expedient that allows companies to exclude remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration
of one year or less. Performance obligations having a duration of more than one year are concentrated in contracts for certain
products and services provided to the U.S. government or its contractors. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated
to remaining performance obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one year was approximately $
8
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affects accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets.
Contract Assets (Unbilled Receivables) - Pursuant to the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customer being invoiced. An unbilled receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when (1) the cost-to-cost method is applied and (2) such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer.
Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue) - The Company may receive a customer advance or deposit, or have an unconditional right to receive a customer advance, prior to revenue being recognized. Since the performance obligations related to such advances may not have been satisfied, a contract liability is established. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as the timing of the transfer of the related goods or services is at the discretion of the customer.
These
assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting
period. As of June 27, 2020 and March 28, 2020, accounts receivable with customers, net, were $

5. Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.
The table below reflects the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for each period presented as well as the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

11. Reportable Segments
The Company operates through operating segments for which separate financial information is available, and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in determining resource allocation and assessing performance. Those operating segments are aggregated as reportable segments as they have similar economic characteristics, including nature of the products and production processes, distribution patterns and classes of customers.
The
Company has
Plain Bearings. Plain bearings are produced with either self-lubricating or metal-to-metal designs and consists of several sub-classes, including rod end bearings, spherical plain bearings and journal bearings. Unlike ball bearings, which are used in high-speed rotational applications, plain bearings are primarily used to rectify inevitable misalignments in various mechanical components.
Roller Bearings. Roller bearings are anti-friction bearings that use rollers instead of balls. The Company manufactures four basic types of roller bearings: heavy-duty needle roller bearings with inner rings, tapered roller bearings, track rollers and aircraft roller bearings.
Ball Bearings. The Company manufactures four basic types of ball bearings: high precision aerospace, airframe control, thin section and commercial ball bearings, which are used in high-speed rotational applications.
Engineered Products. Engineered Products consists of highly engineered hydraulics, fasteners, collets and precision components used in aerospace, marine and industrial applications.

Segment performance is evaluated based on segment net sales and gross margin. Items not allocated to segment operating income include corporate administrative expenses and certain other amounts.

Overview
We are a well-known international manufacturer and maker of highly engineered precision bearings and components. Our precision solutions are integral to the manufacture and operation of most machines and mechanical systems, reduce wear to moving parts, facilitate proper power transmission, and reduce damage and energy loss caused by friction. While we manufacture products in all major bearings categories, we focus primarily on the higher end of the bearing and engineered component markets where we believe our value-added manufacturing and engineering capabilities enable us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and enhance profitability. We believe our unique expertise has enabled us to garner leading positions in many of the product markets in which we primarily compete. With 42 facilities in 7 countries, of which 33 are manufacturing facilities, we have been able to significantly broaden our end markets, products, customer base and geographic reach. We currently operate under four reportable business segments: Plain Bearings, Roller Bearings, Ball Bearings, and Engineered Products. The following further describes these reportable segments:
Plain Bearings. Plain bearings are produced with either self-lubricating or metal-to-metal designs and consists of several sub-classes, including rod end bearings, spherical plain bearings and journal bearings. Unlike ball bearings, which are used in high-speed rotational applications, plain bearings are primarily used to rectify inevitable misalignments in various mechanical components.
Roller Bearings. Roller bearings are anti-friction bearings that use rollers instead of balls. We manufacture four basic types of roller bearings: heavy-duty needle roller bearings with inner rings, tapered roller bearings, track rollers and aircraft roller bearings.
Ball Bearings. We manufacture four basic types of ball bearings: high precision aerospace, airframe control, thin section and commercial ball bearings, which are used in high-speed rotational applications.
Engineered Products. Engineered Products consists of highly engineered hydraulics, fasteners, collets and precision components used in aerospace, marine and industrial applications.
Purchasers of bearings and engineered products include industrial equipment and machinery manufacturers, producers of commercial and military aerospace equipment such as missiles and radar systems, agricultural machinery manufacturers, construction, energy, mining, marine and specialized equipment manufacturers, marine products, automotive and commercial truck manufacturers. The markets for our products are cyclical, and we have endeavored to mitigate this cyclicality by entering into sole-source relationships and long-term purchase agreements, through diversification across multiple market segments within the aerospace and defense and diversified industrial segments, by increasing sales to the aftermarket and by focusing on developing highly customized solutions.
17
Currently, our strategy is built around maintaining our role as a leading manufacturer of precision-engineered bearings and components through the following efforts:
| ● | Developing innovative solutions. By leveraging our design and manufacturing expertise and our extensive customer relationships, we continue to develop new products for markets in which there are substantial growth opportunities. |
| ● | Expanding customer base and penetrating end markets. We continually seek opportunities to access new customers, geographic locations and bearing platforms with existing products or profitable new product opportunities. |
| ● | Increasing aftermarket sales. We believe that increasing our aftermarket sales of replacement parts will further enhance the continuity and predictability of our revenues and enhance our profitability. Such sales include sales to third party distributors and sales to OEMs for replacement products and aftermarket services. We will increase the percentage of our revenues derived from the replacement market by continuing to implement several initiatives. |
| ● | Pursuing selective acquisitions. The acquisition of businesses that complement or expand our operations has been and continues to be an important element of our business strategy. We believe that there will continue to be consolidation within the industry that may present us with acquisition opportunities. |
Outlook
Our net sales for the three-month period ended June 27, 2020 decreased 14.3% compared to the same period last fiscal year. The decrease in net sales was a result of a 14.9% decrease in our aerospace markets and a 13.3% decrease in our industrial markets. The decrease in aerospace sales was primarily due to the commercial markets, both OEM and aftermarket, offset by increases in our defense business. The decrease in industrial sales was driven by decreases in the mining, energy, and general industrial markets. Excluding $2.2 million of sales associated with Swiss Tool, which was acquired in fiscal 2020, overall net sales decreased 15.5% year over year. Our backlog, as of June 27, 2020, was $431.9 million compared to $459.4 million as of June 29, 2019.
The COVID-19 health crisis, which was declared a pandemic in March 2020, has led to governments around the world implementing measures to reduce the spread. These measures include quarantines, “shelter in place” orders, travel restrictions, and other measures and have resulted in a slowdown of worldwide economic activity.
Our business is operating as an essential business, and as such, our facilities have remained open, with the exception of a few temporary closures at some of our locations. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our commercial aerospace and industrial sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. During this period, our commercial aerospace sales continued to face headwinds associated with build rate changes within the industry.
Our production and sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 have been negatively affected by the economic implications of the pandemic. We expect that commercial aerospace OEM and aftermarket, which make up approximately half of our sales annually, will continue to be impacted by the year-over-year decline in air travel and changes in production rates. Conversely, our sales to aerospace defense markets are expected to grow throughout fiscal 2021. Sales in these markets grew 11.9% during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the same period last year. Our sales to industrial markets will continue to be adversely affected in the next quarter of fiscal 2021 due to the slowdown of economic activity. Management is continuously evaluating the status of our orders and operations, and restructuring efforts are being implemented where necessary to align our cost structure to the new demand levels we experience in the marketplace.
We experienced strong cash flow generation during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 (as discussed in the section “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, below). Management believes that these operating cash flows and available credit under all credit agreements will provide adequate resources to fund internal and external growth initiatives for the foreseeable future, including at least the next twelve months. As of June 27, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $143.6 million of which approximately $15.3 million was cash held by our foreign operations.
18
The Company expects net sales to be approximately $148.0 million to $152.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our business is capital-intensive. Our capital requirements include manufacturing equipment and materials. In addition, we have historically fueled our growth, in part, through acquisitions. We have historically met our working capital, capital expenditure requirements and acquisition funding needs through our net cash flows provided by operations, various debt arrangements and sale of equity to investors. We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the Revolver and Foreign Revolver will provide adequate resources to fund internal and external growth initiatives for the foreseeable future.
Our ability to meet future working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements will depend on our future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors, particularly interest rates, cyclical changes in our end markets and prices for steel and our ability to pass through price increases on a timely basis, many of which are outside of our control. In addition, future acquisitions could have a significant impact on our liquidity position and our need for additional funds.
From time to time, we evaluate our existing facilities and operations and their strategic importance to us. If we determine that a given facility or operation does not have future strategic importance, we may sell, partially or completely, relocate production lines, consolidate or otherwise dispose of those operations. Although we believe our operations would not be materially impaired by such dispositions, relocations or consolidations, we could incur significant cash or non-cash charges in connection with them.
23
Liquidity
As of June 27, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $143.6 million, of which, approximately $15.3 million was cash held by our foreign operations. We expect that our undistributed foreign earnings will be re-invested indefinitely for working capital, internal growth and acquisitions for and by our foreign entities.
Domestic Credit Facility
The Company’s credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”) provides the Company with a $250.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which expires on January 31, 2024. Debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Agreement totaled $0.9 million and will be amortized through January 31, 2024 along with the unamortized debt issuance costs remaining from the Company’s prior credit agreement.
Amounts outstanding under the Revolver generally bear interest at (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) Wells Fargo’s prime lending rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1%, or (b) LIBOR plus a specified margin, depending on the type of borrowing being made. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA at each measurement date. Currently, the Company’s margin is 0.00% for base rate loans and 0.75% for LIBOR loans.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with various covenants, including among other things, a financial covenant to maintain a ratio of consolidated net debt to adjusted EBITDA not greater than 3.50 to 1. The Credit Agreement allows the Company to, among other things, make distributions to shareholders, repurchase its stock, incur other debt or liens, or acquire or dispose of assets provided that the Company complies with certain requirements and limitations of the Credit Agreement. As of June 27, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
The Company’s domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the Company’s obligations and the domestic subsidiaries’ guarantee are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.
Approximately $3.7 million of the Revolver is being utilized to provide letters of credit to secure the Company’s obligations relating to certain insurance programs. As of June 27, 2020, $1.4 million in unamortized debt issuance costs remain. The Company has the ability to borrow up to an additional $246.3 million under the Revolver as of June 27, 2020.
Foreign Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
On August 15, 2019, one of our foreign subsidiaries, Schaublin SA (“Schaublin”), entered into two separate credit agreements (the “Foreign Credit Agreements”) with Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. to finance the acquisition of Swiss Tool and provide future working capital. The Schaublin Credit Agreements provided Schaublin with a CHF 15.0 million (approximately $15.4 million) term loan (the “Foreign Term Loan”), which expires on July 31, 2024 and a CHF 15.0 million (approximately $15.4 million) revolving credit facility (the “Foreign Revolver”), which continues in effect until terminated by either Schaublin or Credit Suisse. Debt issuance costs associated with the Foreign Credit Agreements totaled CHF 0.3 million (approximately $0.3 million) and will be amortized throughout the life of the Foreign Credit Agreements.
24
Amounts outstanding under the Foreign Term Loan and the Foreign Revolver generally bear interest at LIBOR plus a specified margin. The applicable margin is based on Schaublin’s ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA at each measurement date. Currently, Schaublin’s margin is 1.00%.
The Foreign Credit Agreements require Schaublin to comply with various covenants, which are tested annually on March 31. These covenants include, among other things, a financial covenant to maintain a ratio of consolidated net debt to adjusted EBITDA not greater than 3.00 to 1 as of March 31, 2020 and not greater than 2.50 to 1 as of March 31, 2021 and thereafter. Schaublin is also required to maintain an economic equity of CHF 20.0 million at all times. The Foreign Credit Agreements allow Schaublin to, among other things, incur other debt or liens and acquire or dispose of assets provided that Schaublin complies with certain requirements and limitations of the Foreign Credit Agreements. As of March 31, 2020, Schaublin was in compliance with all such covenants.
Schaublin’s parent company, Schaublin Holding, has guaranteed Schaublin’s obligations under the Foreign Credit Agreements. Schaublin Holding’s guaranty and the Foreign Credit Agreements are secured by a pledge of the capital stock of Schaublin. In addition, the Foreign Term Loan is secured with pledges of the capital stock of the top company and the three operating companies in the Swiss Tool System group of companies.
As of June 27, 2020, there was approximately $2.8 million outstanding under the Foreign Revolver and approximately $15.8 million outstanding under the Foreign Term Loan. These borrowings have been classified as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. As of June 27, 2020, approximately $0.1 million in unamortized debt issuance costs remain. Schaublin has the ability to borrow up to an additional $13.0 million under the Foreign Revolver as of June 27, 2020.
Schaublin’s required future annual principal payments for the next five years and thereafter are approximately $6.0 million for fiscal 2021 and approximately $3.2 million for each year from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2025.
Other Notes Payable
On October 1, 2012, Schaublin purchased the land and building that it occupied and had been leasing for approximately $14.9 million. Schaublin obtained a 20-year fixed-rate mortgage of approximately $9.9 million at an interest rate of 2.9%. The balance of the purchase price of approximately $5.1 million was paid from cash on hand. The balance on this mortgage as of June 27, 2020 was approximately $6.0 million and has been classified as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
The Company’s required future annual principal payments for the next five years are approximately $0.5 million for each year from fiscal 2021 through fiscal 2025 and $3.6 million thereafter.

Cash Flows
Three-month Period Ended June 27, 2020 Compared to the Three-month Period Ended June 29, 2019
The following table summarizes our cash flow activities:
| FY21 | FY20 | $ Change | ||||||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in): | ||||||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 48.4 | $ | 40.1 | $ | 8.3 | ||||||
| Investing activities | (3.6 | ) | (12.0 | ) | 8.4 | |||||||
| Financing activities | (4.3 | ) | (26.4 | ) | 22.1 | |||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | (0.1 | ) | 1.1 | (1.2 | ) | |||||||
| Increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 40.4 | $ | 2.8 | $ | 37.6 | ||||||
During the first three months of fiscal 2021, we generated cash of $48.4 million from operating activities compared to $40.1 million of cash generated during the same period of fiscal 2020. The increase of $8.3 million for fiscal 2021 was mainly a result of the favorable impact of a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $12.8 million and a favorable change in non-cash charges of $3.3 million, offset by a decrease in net income of $7.8 million. The favorable change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of an increase in the amount of cash being provided by working capital items as detailed in the table below, while the increase in non-cash charges resulted from $0.2 million of amortization of intangible assets, $1.7 million in deferred taxes, $0.7 million of depreciation, $0.6 million of share-based compensation charges, and $0.1 million of other non-cash charges.
The following chart summarizes the favorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $12.8 million for fiscal 2021 versus fiscal 2020 and the favorable change of $4.6 million for fiscal 2020 versus fiscal 2019.
| FY21 | FY20 | |||||||
| Cash provided by (used in): | ||||||||
| Accounts receivable | $ | 15.0 | $ | 0.6 | ||||
| Inventory | 4.2 | (0.2 | ) | |||||
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 2.3 | (0.9 | ) | |||||
| Other non-current assets | (3.6 | ) | 0.3 | |||||
| Accounts payable | (1.2 | ) | 2.9 | |||||
| Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | (7.0 | ) | 3.5 | |||||
| Other non-current liabilities | 3.1 | (1.6 | ) | |||||
| Total change in operating assets and liabilities: | $ | 12.8 | $ | 4.6 | ||||
During the first three months of fiscal 2021, we used $3.6 million for investing activities as compared to $12.0 million used during the first three months of fiscal 2020. This decrease in cash used was attributable to an $8.2 million decrease in capital expenditures and $0.2 million in cash received as a result of opening balance sheet adjustments made during the measurement period for the acquisition of Swiss Tool.
During the first three months of fiscal 2021, we used $4.3 million for financing activities compared to $26.4 million for the first three months of fiscal 2020. This decrease in cash used was primarily attributable to $17.0 million less payments made on outstanding debt and $5.1 million less treasury stock purchases.
26
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures were $3.9 million for the three-month period ended June 27, 2020. We expect to make additional capital expenditures of $10.0 to $15.0 million during the remainder of fiscal 2021 in connection with our existing business. We expect to fund these capital expenditures principally through existing cash and internally generated funds. We may also make substantial additional capital expenditures in connection with acquisitions.
Other Matters
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the first three months of fiscal 2021 other than those described in Note 2 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 27, 2020, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than $3.7 million of outstanding standby letters of credit, all of which were under the Revolver.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, which arise during the normal course of business from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rates. We currently have variable rate debt outstanding under our credit agreements. We regularly evaluate the impact of interest rate changes on our net income and cash flow and take action to limit our exposure when appropriate.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. Our Swiss operations utilize the Swiss franc as the functional currency, our French and German operations utilize the euro as the functional currency and our Polish operations utilize the Polish zloty as the functional currency. As a result, we are exposed to risk associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and these currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in earnings. Approximately 9% of our net sales were impacted by foreign currency fluctuations for the three-month period ended June 27, 2020 compared to 8% for the same period in the prior year. We expect that this proportion is likely to increase as we seek to increase our penetration of foreign markets, particularly within the aerospace and defense markets. Foreign currency transaction exposure arises primarily from the transfer of foreign currency from one subsidiary to another within the group, and to foreign currency denominated trade receivables. Unrealized currency translation gains and losses are recognized upon translation of the foreign operations’ balance sheets to U.S. dollars. Because our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our earnings. We periodically enter into derivative financial instruments in the form of forward exchange contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates on certain third-party sales transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. Based on the accounting guidance related to derivatives and hedging activities, we record derivative financial instruments at fair value. For derivative financial instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on these hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of June 27, 2020, we had no derivatives.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 27, 2020. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 27, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that information relating to our Company required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three-month period ended June 27, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
27
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in litigation and administrative proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that any litigation or proceeding in which we are currently involved, either individually or in the aggregate, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flow or prospects.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to our risk factors and uncertainties since the most recent filing of our Form 10-K. For a discussion of the risk factors, refer to Part I, Item 2, “Cautionary Statement as to Forward-Looking Information” contained in this quarterly report and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020.
