Any reference in this Form 10-Q to a year refers to the fiscal year ended August 31st of that year, unless otherwise noted.
NOTE 2. CHANGES IN BUSINESS
Tensar Acquisition
On April 25, 2022 (the "Tensar Acquisition Date"), the Company completed the acquisition of TAC Acquisition Corp. ("Tensar"). The total cash purchase price, net of $19.6 million cash acquired, was approximately $550 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, and was funded through domestic cash on-hand. The acquired operations in North America are presented within the Company's North America reportable segment, and the remaining acquired operations are presented within the Company's Europe reportable segment.
The table below presents the preliminary fair values and measurement period adjustments that were allocated to Tensar's assets and liabilities as of the Tensar Acquisition Date:

__________________________________
(1) As previously reported in the 2022 Form 10-K. No measurement period adjustments occurred during the three months ended November 30, 2022.
Pro Forma Supplemental Information
Supplemental information on an unaudited pro forma basis is presented below as if the acquisition of Tensar occurred on September 1, 2020. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only, based on certain factually supported estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes to be reasonable, but not necessarily indicative of future results of operations or the results that would have been reported if the acquisition had been completed on September 1, 2020. These results were not used as part of management's analysis of the financial results and performance of the Company. The pro forma adjustments do not reflect anticipated synergies, but rather include the recurring income statement effects of fair value adjustments, such as depreciation and amortization. Further adjustments were made to remove the impact of Tensar's prior management fees, acquisition and integration expenses and interest on debt not assumed in the acquisition. The resulting tax effects of the business combination are also reflected below.
| | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | | | | Three Months Ended November 30, 2021 |
Pro forma net sales | | | | $ | 2,043,668 | |
Pro forma net earnings | | | | 240,377 | |
The pro forma results presented above include, but are not limited to, adjustments to remove the impact of $3.2 million of acquisition and integration expenses from the three months ended November 30, 2021. Results also reflect increased amortization expense from revalued intangible assets of $3.1 million in the three months ended November 30, 2021.
Advanced Steel Recovery Acquisition
On September 15, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Advanced Steel Recovery, LLC ("ASR"), a supplier of recycled ferrous metals located in Southern California. ASR's primary operations include processing and brokering capabilities that source material for sale into both the domestic and export markets and are presented within the Company's North America reportable segment. The ASR acquisition is not material to the Company's November 30, 2022 financial position or results of operations, and therefore, pro forma operating results and other disclosures for the acquisition are not presented.
Kodiak Acquisition
On November 14, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of a Galveston, TX area metals recycling facility and related assets (collectively, "Kodiak") from Kodiak Resources, Inc. and Kodiak Properties, L.L.C. Kodiak's operating results are presented within the Company's North America reportable segment. The Kodiak acquisition is not material to the Company's November 30, 2022 financial position or results of operations, and therefore, pro forma operating results and other disclosures for the acquisition are not presented.

NOTE 4. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue related to raw materials, steel products and construction-related solutions in the North America and Europe segments and downstream products in the Europe segment is recognized at a point in time concurrent with the transfer of control, which
usually occurs, depending on shipping terms, upon shipment or customer receipt. See Note 14, Operating Segments, for further information about disaggregated revenue by the Company's major product lines.
Each downstream product contract sold by the North America segment represents a single performance obligation. Revenue from contracts where the Company provides fabricated product and installation services is recognized over time using an input measure, and these contracts represented 8% and 9% of net sales in the North America segment in the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue from contracts where the Company does not provide installation services is recognized over time using an output measure, and these contracts represented 12% and 9% of net sales in the North America segment in the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The following table provides information about assets and liabilities from contracts with customers:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | | November 30, 2022 | | August 31, 2022 |
Contract assets (included in accounts receivable) | | $ | 76,390 | | | $ | 73,037 | |
Contract liabilities (included in accrued expenses and other payables) | | 28,005 | | | 27,567 | |
The amount of revenue reclassified from August 31, 2022 contract liabilities during the three months ended November 30, 2022 was approximately $11.6 million.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of November 30, 2022, revenue totaling $1.0 billion has been allocated to remaining performance obligations in the North America segment related to contracts where revenue is recognized using an input or output measure. Of this amount, the Company estimates that approximately 81% of the remaining performance obligations will be recognized in the twelve months after November 30, 2022, and the remainder will be recognized during the subsequent twelve months. The duration of all other contracts in the North America and Europe segments are typically less than one year.
NOTE 5. INVENTORIES, NET
The majority of the Company's inventories are in the form of semi-finished and finished steel products. Under the Company’s vertically integrated business model, steel products are sold to external customers in various stages, from semi-finished billets through fabricated steel, leading these categories to be combined as finished goods.
The components of inventories were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The foreign currency translation adjustments related to the intangible assets subject to amortization were immaterial for all periods presented above.
The gross carrying amount of the Company's intangible assets with indefinite lives was $56.7 million and $56.8 million as of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively. The change in the balance from August 31, 2022 to November 30, 2022 was due to foreign currency translation adjustments. Intangible assets with indefinite lives consist primarily of trade names with gross carrying amounts of $53.5 million and $53.6 million at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively, and in-process research and development with a gross carrying amount of $2.4 million at both November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022.
Amortization expense for intangible assets was $6.1 million in the three months ended November 30, 2022, of which $4.6 million was recorded in cost of goods sold and $1.5 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The Company recorded immaterial amortization expense for intangible assets in the three months ended November 30, 2021.

Senior Notes Activity
In May 2013, the Company issued $330.0 million of 4.875% Senior Notes due May 2023 (the "2023 Notes"). As of August 31, 2022, the 2023 Notes were included in current maturities of long-term debt and short-term borrowings in the consolidated balance sheet. In November 2022, the Company repurchased $115.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes through a cash tender offer and recognized an immaterial loss on debt extinguishment. The remaining balance of $214.1 million was included in current maturities of long-term debt and short-term borrowings in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2022.
Credit Facilities
In October 2022, the Company entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") with a revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") of $600.0 million and maturity date in October 2027, replacing the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a revolving credit facility of $400.0 million and a maturity date in
March 2026. The maximum availability under the Revolver can be increased to $850.0 million with bank approval. The Credit Agreement also provides for a delayed draw senior secured term loan facility with a maximum principal amount of $200.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan is coterminous with the Revolver. As of November 30, 2022, the Company had no amounts drawn under the Term Loan. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by its North America inventory. The Credit Agreement's capacity includes a $50.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of stand-by letters of credit. The Company had no amounts drawn under the Revolver or the previous revolving credit facility at November 30, 2022 or August 31, 2022. The availability under the Revolver and the previous revolving credit facility, as applicable, was reduced by outstanding stand-by letters of credit of $1.4 million at both November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022.
The Company has a Term Loan facility (the "Poland Term Loan") through its subsidiary, CMC Poland Sp. z.o.o. ("CMCP"). At November 30, 2022, there was no amount outstanding, compared to PLN 152.4 million, or $32.4 million outstanding as of August 31, 2022.

At November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, CMCP's credit facilities totaled PLN 300.0 million, or $66.9 million and $63.9 million, respectively. There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities as of November 30, 2022 or August 31, 2022. The available balance of these credit facilities was reduced by outstanding stand-by letters of credit, guarantees and/or other financial assurance instruments, which totaled $14.6 million and $1.0 million at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively.
Accounts Receivable Facilities
On November 9, 2022 the Company terminated its $150.0 million U.S. trade accounts receivable facility. The Company had no advance payments outstanding under this facility at August 31, 2022.
The Poland accounts receivable facility had a limit of PLN 288.0 million, or $64.2 million and $61.3 million, at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively. The Company had no advance payments outstanding under the Poland accounts receivable facility at November 30, 2022, compared to PLN 124.0 million, or $26.4 million, advance payments outstanding at August 31, 2022.
NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES
The Company's global operations and product lines expose it to risks from fluctuations in metal commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and natural gas, electricity and other energy prices. One objective of the Company's risk management program is to mitigate these risks using derivative instruments. The Company enters into (i) metal commodity futures and forward contracts to mitigate the risk of unanticipated changes in net earnings due to price volatility in these commodities, (ii) foreign currency forward contracts that match the expected settlements for purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies and (iii) natural gas and electricity commodity derivatives to mitigate the risk related to price volatility of these commodities.
The Company considers the total notional value of its futures and forward contracts as the best measure of the volume of derivative transactions. At November 30, 2022, the notional values of the Company's foreign currency and commodity contract commitments were $294.9 million and $378.4 million, respectively. At August 31, 2022, the notional values of the Company's foreign currency and commodity contract commitments were $253.5 million and $205.1 million, respectively.
The following table provides information regarding the Company's commodity contract commitments at November 30, 2022: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Commodity | | Long/Short | | Total |
Aluminum | | Long | | 2,025 | | MT |
Aluminum | | Short | | 1,425 | | MT |

The Company designates only those contracts which closely match the terms of the underlying transaction as hedges for accounting purposes. Certain foreign currency and commodity contracts were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, although management believes they are essential economic hedges.
The following tables summarize activities related to the Company's derivative instruments and hedged items recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. All other activity related to the Company's derivative instruments and hedged items was immaterial for the periods presented.

The Company's natural gas and electricity commodity derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedging instruments have maturities extending to November 2025 and December 2034, respectively. Included in the AOCI balance as of November 30, 2022 was an estimated net gain of $15.3 million from cash flow hedging instruments that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. See Note 9, Fair Value, for the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE
The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Levels within the hierarchy are defined within Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2022 Form 10-K.
The following tables summarize information regarding the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

__________________________________
(1) Investment deposit accounts are short-term in nature, and the value is determined by principal plus interest. The investment portfolio mix can change each period based on the Company's assessment of investment options.
(2) Derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 are commodity futures contracts valued based on quoted market prices in the London Metal Exchange or New York Mercantile Exchange. Amounts in Level 2 are based on broker quotes in the over-the-counter market. Derivatives classified as Level 3 are described below. Further discussion regarding the Company's use of derivative instruments is included in Note 8, Derivatives.
As of August 31, 2022, the Company had one Level 3 commodity derivative. In September 2022, the Company entered into a second Level 3 commodity derivative with the same counterparty. The second Level 3 commodity derivative will begin to settle in January 2025. The fair value estimates of the Level 3 commodity derivatives are based on internally developed discounted cash flow models primarily utilizing unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data. The Company forecasts future energy rates using a range of historical prices ("floating rate"). The floating rate is the only significant unobservable input used in the Company's discounted cash flow models. The following table summarizes the floating rate used to measure the fair value of the commodity derivatives at November 30, 2022 and 2021:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Floating rate (PLN) |
November 30, | | Low | | High | | Average |
2022 | | 532.66 | | | 1,298.53 | | | 786.58 | |
2021 | | 252.79 | | | 540.39 | | | 348.99 | |
Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 commodity derivatives recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fluctuation in energy rates over time causes volatility in the fair value estimate and is the primary reason for unrealized gains included in other comprehensive income ("OCI") in the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021.
