Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Nature of Goods and Services
The Company generates its revenue under two principal activities, which are discussed below:
Product Sales: Sales of tools, heavy-lifting solutions, and biomedical textiles are recorded when control is transferred to the customer (i.e., performance obligation has been satisfied). For the majority of the Company’s product sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the product is shipped from the Company to the customer. For certain other products that are highly customized and have a limited alternative use, and for which the Company has an enforceable right of reimbursement for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized over time. We consider the input measure (efforts-expended or cost-to-cost) or output measure as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over-time revenue associated with these custom products. For a majority of the Company’s custom products, machine hours and labor hours (efforts-expended measurement) are used as a measure of progress.
Service & Rental Sales: Service contracts consist of providing highly trained technicians to perform bolting, technical services, machining and joint-integrity work for our customers. These revenues are recognized over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company. We consider the input measure (efforts-expended or cost-to-cost) or output measure as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over-time revenue associated with service contracts. For a majority of the Company’s service contracts, labor hours (efforts-expended measurement) is used as the measure of progress when it is determined to be a better depiction of the transfer of control to the customer due to the timing and pattern of labor hours incurred. Revenue from rental contracts (less than a year and non-customized products) is generally recognized ratably over the contract term, depicting the customer’s consumption of the benefit related to the rental equipment.
Disaggregated Revenue and Performance Obligations
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by reportable segment and product line and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. See Note 12, "Segment Information" for information regarding our revenue disaggregation by reportable segment and product line.
The following table presents information regarding revenues disaggregated by the timing of when goods and services are transferred (in thousands):
Three Months Ended May 31,Nine Months Ended May 31,
2024202320242023
Revenues recognized at point in time$117,107 $127,216 $331,634 $350,995 
Revenues recognized over time33,282 29,037 99,162 86,600 
Total$150,389 $156,253 $430,796 $437,595 
Contract Balances
The Company's contract assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):
May 31, 2024August 31, 2023
Receivables, which are included in accounts receivable, net$107,617 $97,649 
Contract assets, which are included in other current assets5,833 3,989 
Contract liabilities, which are included in other current liabilities2,396 2,927 
Receivables: The Company performs its obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. The Company typically invoices its customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred and a receivable for the Company is established. Accounts receivable, net is recorded at face amount of customer receivables less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected losses as a result of customers’ inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of customer receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of receivables that may be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $15.8 million and $16.8 million at May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively.
As indicated in the "Concentration of Credit Risk" section below, as of May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023, the Company was exposed to a concentration of credit risk with an agent as a result of its continued payment delinquency. As of May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023, the Company had a total bad debt reserve of $13.2 million related to this agent. The allowance for doubtful accounts for this particular agent as of May 31, 2024 represents management's best estimate of the amount probable of collection and considers various factors with the respect to this matter, including, but not limited to: (i) the lack of payment by the agent since the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2021; (ii) our due diligence on balances due to the agent from its end customers related to sales of our services and
8


products and the known markup on those sales from agent to end customer; (iii) the status of ongoing negotiations with the agent to secure payments; and (iv) legal recourse available to secure payment. Actual collections from the agent may differ from the Company's estimate.
Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company sells products and services through distributors and agents. In certain jurisdictions, those third parties represent a significant portion of our sales in their respective country, which can pose a concentration of credit risk if these larger distributors or agents are not timely in their payments. As of May 31, 2024, the Company was exposed to a concentration of credit risk as a result of the payment delinquency of one of our agents whose accounts receivable represent 10.6% of the Company's outstanding accounts receivable. As of May 31, 2024, the Company has fully reserved for the amounts due from this agent.
Contract Assets: Contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date on contracts with customers. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. The Company has contract assets on contracts that are generally long-term and have revenues that are recognized over time.
Contract Liabilities: As of May 31, 2024, the Company had certain contracts where there were unsatisfied performance obligations and the Company had received cash consideration from customers before the performance obligations were satisfied. The majority of these contracts relate to long-term customer contracts (project durations of greater than three months) and are recognized over time. The Company estimates that substantially all of the $2.4 million of contract liabilities will be recognized in net sales from satisfying those performance obligations within the next twelve months.
Timing of Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time: The Company evaluates when the customer obtains control of the product based on shipping terms, as control will transfer, depending upon such terms, at different points between the Company's manufacturing facility or warehouse and the customer’s location. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery because (i) the Company has a present right to payment at that time; (ii) the legal title has been transferred to the customer; (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer; and (iv) the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product.
Variable Consideration: The Company estimates whether it will be subject to variable consideration under the terms of the contract and includes its estimate of variable consideration in the transaction price based on the expected value method when it is deemed probable of being realized based on historical experience and trends. Types of variable consideration may include rebates, incentives and discounts, among others, which are recorded as a reduction to net sales at the time when control of a performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
Practical Expedients & Exemptions: The Company elected to expense the incremental cost to obtaining a contract when the amortization period for such contracts would be one year or less. The Company does not disclose the value of unperformed obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and    (ii) contracts for which it recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.
Note 3. ASCEND Transformation Program
In March 2022, the Company announced the launch of ASCEND, a transformation program focused on driving accelerated earnings growth and efficiency across the business with the goal of delivering an estimated incremental $40 to $50 million of annual operating profit once fully implemented. In March 2023, the Company announced this estimate had been revised to an incremental $50 to $60 million of annual operating profit as a result of additional ASCEND initiatives and high success rate. As part of ASCEND, the Company is focusing on the following key initiatives: (i) accelerating organic growth go-to-market strategies, (ii) improving operational excellence and production efficiency by utilizing a lean approach and (iii) driving greater efficiency and productivity in SG&A expenses by better leveraging resources to create a more efficient and agile organization.
The Company is implementing the program and originally anticipated investing approximately $60 to $65 million and in March 2023 anticipated that this investment would increase to $70 to $75 million (as disclosed in Note 4, "Restructuring Charges," approximately $10 to $15 million of these investments will be in the form of restructuring charges) over the life of the program, which is expected to be finalized as we exit fiscal 2024. Elements of these investments could include such cash costs as capital expenditures, restructuring costs, third-party support, and incentive costs, which are not available for the senior management team. Total program expenses were approximately $3.6 million and $9.3 million in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, respectively, and $8.2 million and $32.9 million in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively. Of the total ASCEND program expenses, $1.5 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, respectively and $5.5 million and $26.1 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, were recorded within SG&A expenses. Further, ASCEND program expenses recorded within cost of goods sold were approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 and $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023. Additionally, for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, respectively, $1.6 million and $4.4 million were recorded within restructuring expenses with $2.3 million and $6.2 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively (see Note 4, "Restructuring Charges" below). For fiscal 2024, we expect to incur $10 to $15 million of ASCEND transformation program costs; this range is inclusive of $3 to $5 million of restructuring costs.

Note 4. Restructuring Charges
The Company has undertaken or committed to various restructuring initiatives, including workforce reductions, leadership changes, plant consolidations to reduce manufacturing overhead, satellite office closures, the continued movement of production and product sourcing to low-cost alternatives, and the centralization and standardization of certain administrative functions. Liabilities for severance are generally to be paid within twelve months, while future lease payments related to facilities vacated as a result of restructuring are to be paid over the underlying remaining lease terms.
On June 27, 2022, the Company approved a new restructuring plan in connection with the initiatives identified as part of the ASCEND transformation program (see Note 3, “ASCEND Transformation Program”) to drive greater efficiency and productivity in global selling, general and administrative resources. The total costs of this plan were then estimated at $6 to $10 million, constituting predominately severance and other employee-related costs to be incurred as cash expenditures impacting both IT&S and Corporate. On September 23, 2022, the Company approved an updated restructuring plan. The restructuring costs of this updated plan (which includes the amounts for the plan approved in June 2022) are estimated at $10 to $15 million. These costs are expected to be incurred over the expected duration of the transformation program, ending in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. The Company recorded $1.6 million and $4.4 million in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, respectively, and $2.3 million and $6.2 million in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, of restructuring charges associated with the ASCEND transformation program.
The following summarizes restructuring reserve activity (which for the nine months ended May 31, 2023 excludes $0.6 million of charges associated with ASCEND transformation plan, respectively, associated with the accelerated vesting of equity awards which has no impact on the restructuring reserve) for the IT&S segment and Corporate for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Total restructuring charges (inclusive of the Other operating segment) were $1.6 million and $4.4 million in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, respectively, and $2.3 million and $6.2 million in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, being reported in "Restructuring charges."
Note 5. Discontinued Operations and Other Divestiture Activities
On October 31, 2019, as part of our overall strategy to become a pure-play industrial tools and services company, the Company completed the sale of the businesses comprising its former Engineered Components & Systems ("EC&S") segment. This divestiture was considered part of our strategic shift to become a pure-play industrial tools and services company, and therefore, the results of operations are recorded as a component of "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for all periods presented. All discontinued operations activity included within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods presented relate to impacts from certain retained liabilities.

Senior Credit Facility
On September 9, 2022, the Company refinanced its previous senior credit facility with a new $600 million senior credit facility, comprised of a $400 million revolving line of credit and a $200 million term loan, which is scheduled to mature in September 2027. The Company has the option to request up to $300 million of additional revolving commitments and/or term loans under the new facility, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders. This facility replaces LIBOR with adjusted term SOFR as the interest rate benchmark and provides for interest rate margins above adjusted term SOFR ranging from 1.125% to 1.875% per annum depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused amount of the revolving line of credit ranging from 0.15% to 0.3% per annum, based on the Company's net leverage. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at adjusted term SOFR plus 1.125% per annum.
The facility contains financial covenants requiring the Company to not permit (i) the net leverage ratio, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters, to exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (or, at the Company’s election and subject to certain conditions, 4.25 to 1.00 for the covenants period during which certain material acquisitions occur and the next succeeding four testing periods) or (ii) the interest coverage ratio, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters, to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. Borrowings under the facility are secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiary guarantors (other than certain specified excluded assets) and certain of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility at May 31, 2024.
At May 31, 2024, there were $196.3 million in borrowings outstanding under the term loans, no borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit and $398.8 million available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit facility after reduction for $1.2 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility.
Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable rate long-term debt approximated book value at both May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023 due to their short-term nature and/or the fact that the interest rates approximated market rates. Foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency exchange contracts was a net asset of less than $0.1 million and a net liability of less than $0.1 million at May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap (see Note 9, “Derivatives”, for further information on the Company's interest rate swap) was an asset of $0.8 million and $0.7 million at May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the Company's net investment hedge (see Note 9, “Derivatives” for further information on the Company's net investment hedge) was a liability of $1.0 million and $1.2 million at May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of all derivative contracts were based on quoted inactive market prices and therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Note 9. Derivatives
All derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Changes in the fair value of derivatives (not designated as hedges) are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability.
12


The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of its operations. In order to manage this risk, the Company utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the exchange rate risk associated with recognized non-functional currency balances. The effects of changes in exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts and the related non-functional currency asset or liability. These derivative gains and losses offset foreign currency gains and losses from the related revaluation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities (amounts included in "Other expense, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings). The U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of these short duration foreign currency exchange contracts was $6.7 million and $13.8 million at May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was a net asset of less than $0.1 million and net liability of less than $0.1 million at May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively. Net foreign currency loss (included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings) related to these derivative instruments are as follows (in thousands):
 Three Months Ended May 31,Nine Months Ended May 31,
 2024202320242023
Foreign currency loss, net$84 $242 $482 $862 
During December 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap, with a maturity date of November 30, 2025, for the notional amount of $60.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 4.022% to hedge the floating interest rate of the Company's term loan. The interest rate swap was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge. The Company uses the interest rate swap for the management of interest rate risk exposure, as an interest rate swap effectively converts a portion of the Company's debt from a floating rate to a fixed rate.
The Company records the fair value of the interest rate swap as an asset or liability on its balance sheet. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap, a net gain of $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, respectively, and a net loss of $0.5 million and a net gain of less than $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company also uses interest-rate derivatives to hedge portions of our net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries (net investment hedge) against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. For derivatives that are designated and qualify as a net investment hedge in a foreign operation, the net gains or losses attributable to the hedge changes are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) where they offset gains and losses recorded on our net investments where the entity has non-U.S. dollar functional currency. As of May 31, 2024, the notional amount of cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges was $30.5 million. The change in the fair value of the net investment hedge, a net loss of $0.8 million and a net gain $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, respectively, and a net loss of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively, is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).
Note 10. Earnings per Share and Shareholders' Equity
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company's common stock under publicly announced share repurchase programs. Since the inception of the initial share repurchase program in fiscal 2012, the Company has repurchased 29,938,482 shares of common stock for $833.2 million. The Company suspended the initial share repurchase program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. In March 2022, the Company's Board of Directors rescinded its prior share repurchase authorization and approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of a total of 10,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company repurchased 1,165,767 shares for $32.7 million in the nine months ended May 31, 2024 and repurchased 843,689 shares for $20.8 million in the nine months ended May 31, 2023. As of May 31, 2024, the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the program is 2,860,748 shares.
In December 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the retirement of the Company's repurchased shares, and the Company retired 29,841,209 treasury shares. The initial share retirement resulted in reductions of $6.0 million in Class A Common Stock and $824.6 million in Retained Earnings reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at May 31, 2024. Shares repurchased after December 18, 2023 were retired upon repurchase. The Company repurchased and retired 71,536 shares during the three months ended May 31, 2024.

Note 11. Income Taxes
The Company's global operations, acquisition activity (as applicable) and specific tax attributes provide opportunities for continuous global tax planning initiatives to maximize tax credits and deductions. Comparative earnings before income taxes, income tax expense and effective income tax rates from continuing operations are as follows (dollars in thousands):
 Three Months Ended May 31,Nine Months Ended May 31,
 2024202320242023
Earnings from continuing operations before income tax expense$29,434 $21,664 $78,675 $40,602 
Income tax expense6,813 4,688 19,877 10,058 
Effective income tax rate23.1 %21.6 %25.3 %24.8 %
The Company’s earnings from continuing operations before income taxes include earnings from both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. As several foreign tax rates are higher than the U.S. tax rate of 21%, the annual effective tax rate is impacted by foreign rate differentials, withholding taxes, losses in jurisdictions where no benefit can be realized, and various aspects of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, such as the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income provisions.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2024 was 23.1%, compared to 21.6% for the comparable prior-year period. The effective tax rate in each time period was impacted by year-to-date losses and deductions in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be realized. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the full year impacts of withholding tax related to current and future distributions, while the effective tax rate for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 is comparable to the prior-year period. Both the current and prior-year effective income tax rates include the impact of non-recurring items.
Note 12. Segment Information
