HAWKINS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All adjustments made to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the six months ended September 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
References to fiscal 2024 refer to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and references to fiscal 2025 refer to the fiscal year ending March 30, 2025.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, particularly receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill, intangibles, accrued expenses, short-term and long-term lease liability, income taxes and related accounts and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting Policies. The accounting policies we follow are set forth in Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, previously filed with the SEC. There has been no significant change in our accounting policies since the end of fiscal 2024.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU No.2023-09)
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting standards update No. 2023-09 to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures and to provide information to better assess how an entity's operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on the disclosures in our financial statements.

Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07)
In November 2023, the FASB issued accounting standards update No. 2023-07 to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The update requires public entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on the disclosures in our financial statements.

Note 3 - Revenue
Our revenue arrangements generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods or services. We disaggregate revenues from contracts with customers by operating segments as well as types of products sold. Reporting by operating segment is pertinent to understanding our revenues, as it aligns to how we review the financial performance of our operations. Types of products sold within each operating segment help us to further evaluate the financial performance of our segments. The following tables disaggregate external customer net sales by major revenue stream for the three and six months ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023:

Note 4 – Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive impact of incremental shares assumed to be issued as performance units and restricted stock.
Basic and diluted EPS were calculated using the following:
 Three Months EndedSix Months Ended
September 29, 2024October 01, 2023September 29, 2024October 01, 2023
Weighted-average common shares outstanding—basic20,757,397 20,903,690 20,786,938 20,905,707

Weighted-average common shares outstanding—diluted20,860,418 21,026,428 20,898,641 21,034,153 
For each of the periods presented, there were no shares excluded from the calculation of weighted-average common shares for diluted EPS.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements
Our financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The carrying value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Because of the variable-rate nature of our debt under our credit facility, our debt also approximates fair value.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis.  The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.
 
Our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are an interest rate swap and assets held in a deferred compensation retirement plan. Both of these assets are classified as long-term assets on our balance sheet, with the portion of the deferred compensation retirement plan assets expected to be paid within twelve months classified as current assets. The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined by the respective counterparties based on interest rate changes. Interest rate swaps are valued based on observable interest rate yield curves for similar instruments. The deferred compensation plan assets relate to contributions made to a non-qualified compensation plan on behalf of certain employees who are classified as “highly compensated employees” as determined by IRS guidelines. The assets are part of a rabbi trust and the funds are held in mutual funds. The fair value of the deferred compensation is based on the quoted market prices for the mutual funds at the end of the period.
The earnout liability recorded in conjunction with the Water Solutions acquisition is based upon achieving certain targets. The
earnout is based on a target of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in year three
of the acquisition. The earnout liability was valued based upon a risk-neutral pricing analysis within a Monte Carlo simulation
framework, which is a Level 3 input. The earnout liability is adjusted to fair value at each reporting date until settled. Changes in fair value are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 9 – Income Taxes
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. The tax years prior to our fiscal year ended March 28, 2021 are closed to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and with few exceptions, state and local income tax jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate was 26% for the six months ended September 29, 2024, compared to 27% for the six months ended October 1, 2023. The effective tax rate is impacted by projected levels of annual taxable income, permanent items, and state taxes.

Note 10 – Share-Based Compensation
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a performance-based equity compensation arrangement for our executive officers during the first quarters of each of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. These performance-based arrangements provide for the grant of performance-based restricted stock units that represent a possible future issuance of restricted shares of our common stock based on a pre-tax income target for the applicable fiscal year. The actual number of restricted shares to be issued to each executive officer is determined when our final financial information becomes available after the applicable fiscal year and will be between zero shares and 76,137 shares in the aggregate for fiscal 2025. The restricted shares issued, if any, will fully vest approximately two years after the last day of the fiscal year on which the performance is based. We are recording the compensation expense for the outstanding performance share units and the converted restricted stock over the life of the awards.

The following table represents the restricted stock activity for the six months ended September 29, 2024:

Note 11 – Share Repurchase Program
Our Board has authorized the repurchase of up to 2.6 million shares of our outstanding common shares. The shares may be repurchased on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions subject to applicable securities laws and regulations. Upon purchase of the shares, we reduce our common stock for the par value of the shares with the excess applied against additional paid-in capital. During the three months ended September 29, 2024, no shares were repurchased, and during the six months ended September 29, 2024, we repurchased 105,541 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $9.1 million. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2023, we repurchased 167,796 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $9.8 million. As of September 29, 2024, 831,946 shares remained available to be repurchased under the share repurchase program.
Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Remediation. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we recorded a liability of $7.7 million related to estimated remediation expenses associated with perchlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs") discovered in the soil at our Rosemount, MN facility during our expansion project. We acquired the property, which had prior heavy industrial use, in fiscal 2012. While the source of the PCBs is unknown, we have never brought PCBs onto the property or used PCBs on the site. The liability is not discounted as management expects to incur these expenses within the next twelve months. Given the many uncertainties involved in assessing environmental claims, our reserves may prove to be insufficient. While it is possible that additional expense related to the remediation will be incurred in future periods if currently unknown issues arise, we are unable to estimate the extent of any further financial impact. No expenses were charged against this liability during the three and six months ended September 29, 2024.
Note 13 – Segment Information
We have three reportable segments: Water Treatment, Industrial, and Health and Nutrition. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
We evaluate performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses. Reportable segments are defined primarily by product and type of customer. Segments are responsible for the sales, marketing and development of their products and services. We allocate certain corporate expenses to our operating segments. There are no intersegment sales and no operating segments have been aggregated. No single customer’s revenues amounted to 10% or more of our total revenue. Sales are primarily within the United States and all assets are located within the United States.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended September 29, 2024 as compared to the similar period ended October 1, 2023. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
Overview
We derive substantially all of our revenues from the sale of chemicals and specialty ingredients to our customers in a wide variety of industries. We began our operations primarily as a distributor of bulk chemicals with a strong customer focus. Over the years, we have maintained the strong customer focus and have expanded our business by increasing our sales of value-added chemicals and specialty ingredients, including manufacturing, blending, and repackaging certain products.

Business Acquisitions
On June 28, 2024, we acquired substantially all the assets of Wofford Water Service, Inc. ("Wofford") for $3.4 million. Wofford distributed water treatment chemicals and equipment to customers mainly in Mississippi. The results of operations since the acquisition date and the assets are included in our Water Treatment segment.

On June 3, 2024, we acquired substantially all the assets of Intercoastal Trading, Inc. and certain related entities ("Intercoastal") for $22.0 million. Intercoastal distributes water treatment chemicals and equipment to its customers in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. The results of operations since the acquisition date and the assets are included in our Water Treatment segment.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we acquired substantially all the assets of Industrial Research Corporation ("Industrial Research") for $4.6 million. Industrial Research was a distributor of water treatment chemicals and equipment for its customers in central to northern Louisiana, eastern Texas and southern Arkansas. The results of operations since the acquisition and the assets are included in our Water Treatment segment.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we acquired substantially all the assets of Miami Products & Chemical Company ("Miami Products") for $15.5 million. Miami Products is a bleach manufacturer and distributor serving customers primarily throughout Ohio and the surrounding region. The results of operations and the assets, including goodwill associated with this acquisition, are included as part of our Water Treatment segment from the date of acquisition forward.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we acquired substantially all the assets of Water Solutions Unlimited, Inc. ("Water Solutions") for $60 million and an additional amount to be paid after three years based on achieving certain targets. The total purchase price was estimated to be $70.7 million, including the estimated potential earnout to be paid of $10.7 million. Water Solutions is a manufacturer and distributor of water treatment chemicals serving customers primarily throughout Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. The results of operations and the assets, including goodwill associated with this acquisition, are included as part of our Water Treatment segment from the date of acquisition forward.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we acquired substantially all the assets of EcoTech Enterprises, Inc. ("EcoTech") for $3.4 million. EcoTech was a manufacturer and distributor of water treatment chemicals serving customers throughout Arkansas and surrounding states. The results of operations and the assets are included as part of our Water Treatment segment from the date of acquisition forward.
The aggregate annual revenue of these six businesses acquired in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 totaled approximately $85 million, as determined using the applicable twelve-month period preceding each respective acquisition date.

Share Repurchase Program
We have in place a share repurchase program for up to 2.6 million shares of our common shares. As of September 29, 2024, 831,946 shares remain available to be repurchased under this program.

Financial Results
We focus on total profitability dollars when evaluating our financial results as opposed to profitability as a percentage of sales, as sales dollars tend to fluctuate as raw material prices rise and fall, particularly in our Water Treatment and Industrial segments. The costs for certain of our raw materials can rise or fall rapidly, causing fluctuations in gross profit as a percentage of sales.

We use the last in, first out (“LIFO”) method of valuing the majority of our inventory in our Water Treatment and Industrial segments, which causes the most recent product costs to be recognized in our income statement. The LIFO inventory
valuation method and the resulting cost of sales are consistent with our business practices of pricing to current chemical raw material prices. Inventories in our Health and Nutrition segment are valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

We disclose the sales of our bulk commodity products as a percentage of total sales dollars for our Water Treatment and Industrial segments. Our definition of bulk commodity products includes products that we do not modify in any way, but receive, store, and ship from our facilities, or direct ship to our customers in large quantities. We disclose the percentage of our overall sales that consist of sales of bulk commodity products as these products are generally distributed and we do not add significant value to these products in comparison to our non-bulk products. Sales of these products are generally highly competitive and price sensitive. As a result, bulk commodity products generally have our lowest margins.

Three Months Ended September 29, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended October 1, 2023

Sales
Sales were $247.0 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, an increase of $10.5 million, or 4%, from sales of $236.5 million in the same period a year ago. Increased sales in our Water Treatment segment more than offset sales softness in our Industrial and Health and Nutrition segments.

Water Treatment Segment. Water Treatment segment sales increased $23.6 million, or 23%, to $124.5 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, from sales of $100.9 million in the same period a year ago. Sales of bulk commodity products in the Water Treatment segment were approximately 8% of sales dollars for both the three months ended September 29, 2024 and in the same period a year ago. Sales increased as a result of added sales from acquired businesses.

Industrial Segment. Industrial segment sales decreased $8.6 million or 9%, to $89.9 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, from sales of $98.5 million in the same period a year ago. Sales of bulk commodity products in the Industrial segment were approximately 15% of sales dollars in the three months ended September 29, 2024 and 13% in the same period a year ago. Although overall volumes increased slightly year over year, sales decreased as a result of lower selling prices on certain products, driven by lower raw material costs and competitive pricing actions.

Health & Nutrition Segment. Health and Nutrition segment sales decreased $4.5 million, or 12%, to $32.6 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024, from sales of $37.1 million in the same period a year ago. Sales decreased due to lower sales of our manufactured products driven by reduced volumes and selling prices due to decreased demand for certain of our products.

Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $6.3 million, or 12%, to $60.2 million, or 24% of sales, for the three months ended September 29, 2024, from $53.9 million, or 23% of sales, in the same period a year ago. During the three months ended September 29, 2024, the
LIFO reserve was unchanged, having no impact on gross profit. In the same quarter a year ago, the LIFO reserve decreased, and gross profit increased, by $3.2 million.

Water Treatment Segment. Gross profit for the Water Treatment segment increased $6.3 million, or 22%, to $35.6 million, or 29% of sales, for the three months ended September 29, 2024, from $29.3 million, or 29% of sales, in the same period a year ago. During the three months ended September 29, 2024, the LIFO reserve was unchanged, having no impact on gross profit. In the same quarter a year ago, the LIFO reserve decreased, and gross profit increased, by $0.6 million. Gross profit increased as a result of increased sales from our acquired businesses.

Industrial Segment. Gross profit for the Industrial segment increased $0.5 million, or 3%, to $18.3 million, or 20% of sales, for the three months ended September 29, 2024, from $17.8 million, or 18% of sales, in the same period a year ago. During the three months ended September 29, 2024, the LIFO reserve was unchanged, having no impact on gross profit. In the same quarter a year ago, the LIFO reserve decreased, and gross profit increased, by $2.6 million. Gross profit increased as a result of increased volumes of certain products and product mix changes.

Health and Nutrition Segment. Gross profit for our Health and Nutrition segment decreased $0.3 million, or 4%, to $6.4 million, or 20% of sales, for the three months ended September 29, 2024, from $6.7 million, or 18% of sales, in the same period a year ago. Gross profit decreased as a result of the decrease in sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $5.6 million, or 27%, to $26.5 million, or 11% of sales, for the three months ended September 29, 2024, from $20.9 million, or 9% of sales, in the same period a year ago. Expenses increased primarily due to $3.8 million in added costs from the acquired businesses in our Water Treatment segment, including amortization of intangibles of $1.5 million. In addition, a year-over-year increase of $1.0 million in compensation expense related to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan increased SG&A expenses, with the offset in other income.

Operating Income
Operating income increased $0.7 million, or 2%, to $33.7 million, or 14% of sales, for the three months ended September 29, 2024, from $33.0 million, or 14% of sales, in the same period a year ago due to the combined impact of the factors discussed above.

Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024 and $0.7 million the same period a year ago. Interest expense increased due to an increase in outstanding borrowings in the current year as compared to a year ago as well as a slightly higher interest rate.

Other Income (Expense)
Other income was $0.7 million for the three months ended September 29, 2024 compared to expense of $0.3 million in the same period a year ago. The current year income represents gains recorded on investments held for our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, while the prior year expense represented losses recorded on those investments. The amounts recorded as a gain were offset by similar amounts recorded as an increase or decrease to compensation expense within SG&A expenses.

Income Tax Provision
Our effective income tax rate was 27% for both the three months ended September 29, 2024 and the three months ended October 1, 2023. The effective tax rate is impacted by projected levels of annual taxable income, permanent items, and state taxes. Our effective tax rate for the full year is expected to be approximately 26-27%.

Six Months Ended September 29, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended October 1, 2023

Sales
Sales were $502.9 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024, an increase of $15.3 million, or 3%, from sales of $487.6 million in the same period a year ago. Increased sales in our Water Treatment segment more than offset sales softness in our Industrial and Health and Nutrition segments.

Water Treatment Segment. Water Treatment segment sales increased $47.1 million, or 24%, to $241.7 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024, from sales of $194.6 million in the same period a year ago. Sales of bulk commodity products in the Water Treatment segment were approximately 9% of sales dollars in the six months ended September 29, 2024 and 8% in the same period a year ago. Sales increased as a result of added sales from acquired businesses.

Industrial Segment. Industrial segment sales decreased $26.3 million or 12%, to $193.1 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024, from sales of $219.4 million in the same period a year ago. Sales of bulk commodity products in the Industrial segment were approximately 14% of sales dollars in the six months ended September 29, 2024 and 13% in the same period of the prior year. Although overall volumes increased slightly year over year, sales decreased as a result of lower selling prices on certain of our products, driven by lower raw material costs and competitive pricing pressures.

Health & Nutrition Segment. Health and Nutrition segment sales decreased $5.6 million, or 8%, to $68.1 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024, from sales of $73.7 million in the same period a year ago. Sales decreased due to lower sales of our manufactured products, driven by reduced volumes and selling prices due to decreased demand for certain of our products, offset somewhat by increased sales of our distributed products.

Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $19.0 million, or 18%, to $124.9 million, or 25% of sales, for the six months ended September 29, 2024, from $105.9 million, or 22% of sales, in the same period a year ago. During the six months ended September 29, 2024, the LIFO reserve increased, and gross profit decreased, by $0.4 million due primarily to an increase in our forecasted year-end quantities. In the same quarter a year ago, the LIFO reserve decreased, and gross profit increased, by $3.4 million.

Water Treatment Segment. Gross profit for the Water Treatment segment increased $14.8 million, or 27%, to $70.5 million, or 29% of sales, for the six months ended September 29, 2024, from $55.7 million, or 29% of sales, in the same period a year ago.

Gross profit increased as a result of product mix changes.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $10.9 million, or 27%, to $51.3 million, or 10% of sales, for the six months ended September 29, 2024, from $40.4 million, or 8% of sales, in the same period a year ago. Expenses increased primarily due to the $7.2 million in added costs from the acquired businesses in our Water treatment segment, including amortization of intangibles of $2.7 million. In addition, a year-over-year increase of $0.8 million in compensation expense related to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan increased SG&A expenses, with the offset in Other Income. Variable pay increased $0.7 million driven by our increased stock price. Wages and other variable expenses increased primarily as a result of business growth.

Operating Income
Operating income increased $8.0 million, or 12%, to $73.5 million, or 15% of sales, for the six months ended September 29, 2024, from $65.5 million, or 13% of sales, in the same period a year ago due to the combined impact of the factors discussed above.

Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense was $2.7 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024 and $1.9 million the same period a year ago. Interest expense increased due to an increase in outstanding borrowings in the current year as compared to a year ago as well as a higher interest rate.

Other Income (Expense)
Other income was $0.7 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024 compared to a nominal amount in the same period a year ago. The current year income represents gains recorded on investments held for our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The amounts recorded as a gain were offset by similar amounts recorded as an increase to compensation expense within SG&A expenses.

Income Tax Provision
Our effective income tax rate was 26% for the six months ended September 29, 2024 and 27% the six months ended October 1, 2023. The effective tax rate in the first six months of the current year was impacted by favorable tax provision adjustments recorded. The effective tax rate is impacted by projected levels of annual taxable income, permanent items, and state taxes. Our effective tax rate for the full year is currently expected to be approximately 26-27%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash was $7.5 million at September 29, 2024, an increase of $0.3 million as compared with the $7.2 million available as of March 31, 2024.

Cash provided by operating activities was $59.2 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $92.6 million in the same period a year ago. The year-over-year decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of the current year was primarily driven by unfavorable year-over-year changes in inventory and accounts payable, slightly offset by increased net income compared to the same period a year ago. Due to the nature of our operations, which includes purchases of large quantities of bulk chemicals, the timing of purchases can result in significant changes in working capital investment and the resulting operating cash flow.

Cash used in investing activities was $46.3 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024, compared to $19.9 million in the same period a year ago. In the first six months of the current year, we incurred acquisition spending of $25.4 million, with the acquisitions of Intercoastal for $22.0 million and Wofford for $3.4 million. Capital expenditures were $21.3 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024, compared to $16.9 million in the same period a year ago. In the first six months of fiscal 2025, we purchased a building in Texas for $2.5 million and had more investments in equipment and containers, resulting in an increase in overall capital expenditures compared to the prior year. In the prior year, we invested $5.1 million to complete an expansion of one of our Minnesota manufacturing facilities.

Cash used in by financing activities was $12.5 million for the six months ended September 29, 2024, compared to $69.3 million of cash used in financing activities in the same period a year ago. Included in financing activities in the first six months of the current year were net debt proceeds of $5.0 million, compared to net debt payments of $52.0 million in the first six months of the prior year. In addition, we repurchased $9.1 million of our common stock in the first six months of the current year, compared to $9.8 million in the same period of the prior year.

We expect our cash balances and funds available under our credit facility, discussed below, along with cash flows generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund the cash requirements of our ongoing operations for the foreseeable future.

Our Board has authorized the repurchase of up to 2.6 million shares of our outstanding common shares. The shares may be purchased on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions subject to applicable securities laws and regulations. The primary objective of the share repurchase program is to offset the impact of dilution from issuances relating to employee and director equity grants and our employee stock purchase program. During the six months ended September 29, 2024, we repurchased 105,541 shares of common stock with an aggregate purchase price of $9.1 million. During the six months ended October 1, 2023,we repurchased 167,796 shares of common stock with an aggregate purchase price of $9.8 million. As of September 29, 2024, 831,946 shares remained available to be repurchased under the share repurchase program.

We are party to a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner, and other lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), whereby U.S. Bank is also serving as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement refinanced the revolving loan under our previous credit agreement with U.S. Bank and provides us with senior secured revolving credit facilities (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) totaling $250 million. The Revolving Loan Facility includes a $10 million letter of credit subfacility and $25 million swingline subfacility. The Revolving Loan Facility has a five-year maturity date, maturing on April 30, 2027. The Revolving Loan Facility is secured by substantially all of our personal property assets and those of our subsidiaries. We may use the amount available under the Revolving Loan Facility for working capital, capital expenditures,
share repurchases, restricted payments and acquisitions permitted under the Credit Agreement, and other general corporate purposes.

Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to one of the following, plus, in both cases, an applicable margin based upon our leverage ratio: (a) Term SOFR, which includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, for an interest period of one, three or six months as selected by us, reset at the end of the selected interest period, or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) U. S. Bank’s prime rate, (2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, or (3) one-month Term SOFR for U.S. dollars plus 1.0%. The Term SOFR margin is between 0.85% and 1.35%, depending on our leverage ratio. The base rate margin is between 0.00% and 0.35%, depending on our leverage ratio. At September 29, 2024, the effective interest rate on our borrowings was 4.5%.

In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Revolving Loan Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments thereunder. The commitment fee is between 0.15% and 0.25%, depending on our leverage ratio.

Debt issuance costs paid to the Lenders are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement. As of September 29, 2024, the unamortized balance of these costs was $0.2 million, and is reflected as a reduction of debt on our balance sheet.

The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain (a) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15 to 1.00 and (b) a maximum total cash flow leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, dispose of significant assets, make certain investments, including any acquisitions other than permitted acquisitions, make certain payments, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, grant liens on our assets or enter into rate management transactions, subject to certain limitations. We are permitted to make distributions, pay dividends and repurchase shares so long as no default or event of default exists or would exist as a result thereof. We were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement as of September 29, 2024 and expect to remain in compliance with all covenants for the next 12 months.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including failure to comply with covenants in the Credit Agreement and other loan documents, cross default to other material indebtedness, failure by us to pay or discharge material judgments, bankruptcy, and change of control. The occurrence of an event of default would permit the lenders to terminate their commitments and accelerate loans under the Credit Facility.

We have in place an interest rate swap agreement to manage the risk associated with a portion of our variable-rate long-term debt. We do not utilize derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The interest rate swap involves the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount on which the interest payments are calculated. The notional amount of the swap agreement is $60 million, and it will terminate on May 1, 2027.

As part of our growth strategy, we have acquired businesses and may pursue acquisitions or other strategic relationships in the future that we believe will complement or expand our existing businesses or increase our customer base. We believe we could borrow additional funds under our current or new credit facilities or sell equity for strategic reasons or to further strengthen our financial position.

Forward-Looking Statements
The information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements have been made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections, and our beliefs and assumptions. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. These factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning potential factors that could affect future financial results is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to the risk inherent in the cyclical nature of commodity chemical prices. However, we do not currently purchase forward contracts or otherwise engage in hedging activities with respect to the purchase of commodity chemicals. We attempt to pass changes in the cost of our materials to our customers. However, there are no assurances that we will be able to pass on the increases in the future.

We are exposed to market risks related to interest rates. Our exposure to changes in interest rates is primarily related to borrowings under our Revolving Loan Facility. We have in place an interest rate swap agreement to manage the risk associated with a portion of our variable-rate long-term debt. The interest rate swap involves the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount on which the interest payments are calculated. The notional amount of the swap agreement is $60.0 million, and it will terminate on May 1, 2027. As of September 29, 2024, a 25-basis point change in interest rates on our unhedged variable-rate debt would potentially increase or decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $0.1 million.

Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency risk, do not arise in the normal course of our business activities.

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 29, 2024. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
