1.ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CSW Industrials, Inc. (“CSWI,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a growth-oriented, diversified industrial company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. Our broad portfolio of leading products provides performance optimizing and life safety solutions to our customers. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVAC/R”), grilles, registers and diffusers ("GRD"), engineered building products and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. Drawing on our innovative and proven technologies, we seek to deliver solutions primarily to our professional end-use customers that place a premium on superior performance and reliability. Our diverse product portfolio includes more than 100 highly respected industrial brands including No. 5®, KOPR-KOTE®, Kats Coatings®, Safe-T-Switch®, Air Sentry®, Deacon®, Leak Freeze®, Greco®, TRUaire® and Shoemaker ManufacturingTM.

Our products are well-known in the specific industries we serve and have a reputation for high quality and reliability. Markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, energy, rail, mining and general industrial markets.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting impacts had an overall negative impact on our financial results in the three and nine months of our prior fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. During the three and nine months of our current fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the direct impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our consolidated operating results was limited, in all material respects, to our operations in Vietnam. In early August 2021, the Vietnamese government mandated numerous restrictions in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including closures of non-essential businesses, limitations on movements of individuals, and the imposition of other highly-restrictive measures for businesses, like ours, that continued operations in compliance with the restrictions. Our Vietnam operations began resuming normal production activities in late November 2021, when the Vietnamese government-mandated restrictions began to ease. Regarding our operations generally, the indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in material and freight cost inflation, supply chain disruptions and freight delays, driven by numerous factors including countermeasures taken by U.S. federal, state and/or local governments and the Federal Reserve, labor supply shortages, and recovering demand. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, material cost increases moderated, but we continue to experience increased freight costs and freight delays. We expect material and freight cost volatility, supply chain challenges and freight delays to continue in the near-term, and we are addressing these impacts through focused inventory management and by continuing and increasing the pricing initiatives that began in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

While the COVID-19 pandemic and its indirect effects have contributed to increased demand in certain parts of our business, including the HVAC/R end market, we expect customer demand levels and our overall results of operations and financial condition to have some level of volatility through the duration of the pandemic when compared to pre-pandemic periods. Despite strong demand in certain of our end markets and clear signs of recovery in others, we cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude or length of the pandemic’s direct and indirect adverse impact, including its ultimate impact on our business or financial condition, due to continued uncertainty regarding (1) the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any surges due to the Omicron variant or other future mutations and (2) the continued potential for short and long-term impacts on our facilities and employees, customer demand and supply chain.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2021 (“Quarterly Report”), include all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities directly attributable to CSWI and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements are for us and our consolidated subsidiaries, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary, except our 50% investment in a variable interest entity for which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary and therefore have consolidated into our financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of CSWI’s financial position as of December 31, 2021, and the results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in CSWI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”).

Whitmore Joint Venture

On April 1, 2021, Whitmore Manufacturing, LLC (“Whitmore”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSWI, completed the formation of the previously announced joint venture (the "Whitmore JV") with Pennzoil-Quaker State Company dba SOPUS Products (“Shell”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell Oil Company that comprises Shell’s U.S. lubricants business. The formation was consummated through a transaction in which Whitmore sold to Shell a 50% interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary (containing certain existing operating assets) in exchange for consideration of $13.4 million from Shell in the form of cash and intangible assets. The Whitmore JV is deemed to be a variable interest entity ("VIE") and the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE, primarily due to Whitmore having the power to direct the manufacturing activities, which are considered the most significant activities for the Whitmore JV. The Whitmore JV has been consolidated into the operations of the Company and its activity has been included in our Specialized Reliability Solutions segment since the formation date. Refer to Note 3 for further information on the Whitmore JV.

Segment Realignment

Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we revised our segment structure to align with how our chief operating decision maker (who was determined to be our Chief Executive Officer) views our business, assesses performance and allocates resources to our business components. This segment structure revision became effective on April 1, 2021, and followed the completion of various strategic transactions including the acquisition of T.A. Industries, Inc. and the formation of the Whitmore JV. Refer to accounting policies below for detailed descriptions of our three business segments.

As a result of the business segment revision, reclassification of certain prior year financial information has been made to conform with the current period's presentation. None of the changes impact the Company's previously reported consolidated net revenue, operating income, net income or net income per share. Refer to Note 18 for additional information on the Company's segment realignments.

Accounting Policies

We have consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements. Updates and supplements to those accounting policies associated with the segment realignment and formation of the Whitmore JV are discussed below:

Segments - As discussed above, we conduct our operations through three business segments based on how we manage the business. Our Chief Executive Officer views our business, assesses performance and allocates resources using financial information generated and reported at the reportable segment level. We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each reportable segment's operating income. Our reportable segments are as follows:

1.Contractor Solutions, which manufactures and supplies products predominantly for residential and commercial HVAC/R and plumbing applications, which are designed primarily for professional tradespeople. This segment is comprised primarily of our RectorSeal, TRUaire and Shoemaker operating companies.

2.Engineered Building Solutions, which provides primarily code-driven products focused on life safety that are engineered to provide aesthetically-pleasing solutions for the construction, refurbishment and modernization of commercial, institutional, and multi-family residential buildings. This segment is comprised primarily of our Balco, Greco and Smoke Guard operating companies.

3.Specialized Reliability Solutions, which provides products for increasing the reliability, performance and lifespan of industrial assets and solving equipment maintenance challenges. This segment is comprised primarily of our Whitmore operating company and the Whitmore JV.

Variable Interest Entities - We evaluate whether an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and determine if the primary beneficiary status is appropriate on a quarterly basis. We consolidate a VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary. When assessing the determination of the primary beneficiary, we consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including: the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, the obligation to absorb the expected losses and/or the right to receive the expected returns of the VIE. Through this evaluation, we determined that the

Whitmore JV is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE, primarily due to the Whitmore having the power to direct the manufacturing activities, which are considered the most significant activities for the Whitmore JV.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within our control are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. Our redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to Shell's 50% equity interest in the Whitmore JV and is classified in temporary equity that is reported between liabilities and shareholders' equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets initially at its formation-date fair value. We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest each reporting period for the net income (or loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest. We also make a measurement period adjustment, if any, to adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest to the higher of the redemption value or carrying value each reporting period. These adjustments are recognized through retained earnings and are not reflected in net income or net income attributable to CSWI. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires management judgment with respect to future revenue, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates. Net income (loss) attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate line on the consolidated statements of operations which is necessary to identify those income (loss) specifically attributable to CSWI. The financial results and position of the redeemable noncontrolling interest acquired through the formation of the Whitmore JV are included in their entirety in our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets beginning with the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2022.

When calculating earnings per share attributable to CSWI, we adjust net income attributable to CSWI for the excess portion of the measurement period adjustment to the extent the redemption value exceeds both the carrying value and the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest on a cumulative basis. Refer to Note 3 for further information regarding the redeemable noncontrolling interest.

The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and adding some requirements regarding franchise (or similar) tax, step-ups in a business combination, treatment of entities not subject to tax and when to apply enacted changes in tax laws. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments related to changes in ownership of foreign equity method investments or foreign subsidiaries should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to franchise taxes that are partially based on income should be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. Our adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 effective April 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial conditions and results of operations.

Pronouncements not yet implemented

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This update provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as interbank offered rates and LIBOR. This ASU includes practical expedients for contract modifications due to reference rate reform. Generally, contract modifications related to reference rate reform may be considered an event that does not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination at the modification date. This ASU is effective immediately; however, it is only available through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Shoemaker Manufacturing, LLC

On December 15, 2021, we acquired 100% of outstanding equity of Shoemaker Manufacturing, LLC (“Shoemaker”), based in Cle Elum, Washington, for an aggregate purchase price of $44.0 million, including preliminary working capital and closing cash adjustments and expected contingent consideration. Shoemaker offers high-quality customizable GRD for commercial and residential markets, and expands CSWI’s HVAC/R product offering and regional exposure in the northwest U.S. The aggregate purchase price was comprised of initial cash consideration of $39.0 million, 25,483 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $3.0 million at transaction close and additional contingent consideration of up to $2.0 million based on Shoemaker meeting a defined financial target during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility. The 25,483 shares of common stock delivered to the sellers as consideration were issued from treasury shares. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation was classified as a current liability of $2.0 million and was determined using a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we incurred $0.5 million in transaction expenses in connection with the Shoemaker acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Shoemaker acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805"). The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was $19.7 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning a more extensive GRD product portfolio for the HVAC/R market and increased regional exposure to the northwest U.S. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired included customer lists ($13.0 million), trademarks ($5.3 million), noncompete agreements ($0.8 million), backlog ($0.3 million), inventory ($3.6 million), accounts receivable ($1.7 million), cash ($1.2 million), equipment ($1.4 million) and prepaid expenses ($0.2 million), net of current liabilities ($3.1 million). Customer lists, noncompete agreements and backlog are being amortized over 15 years, 5 years and 1 month, respectively, while trademarks and goodwill are not being amortized. The Company's evaluation of the facts and circumstances available of December 15, 2021, to assign fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is ongoing. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill and all intangible assets, including customer lists, trademarks, noncompete agreements and backlog are deductible and amortized over 15 years for income tax purposes. Shoemaker activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

T.A. Industries

On December 15, 2020, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of T.A. Industries, Inc. (“TRUaire”), a leading manufacturer of GRD for the residential and commercial HVAC/R end market, based in Santa Fe Springs, California. The acquisition also included TRUaire’s wholly-owned manufacturing facility based in Vietnam. The acquisition extended the Company’s product offerings to the HVAC/R end market share and provided strategic distribution facilities.

The contractual consideration paid for TRUaire included cash of $288.0 million, after working capital, closing cash and subsequent tax adjustments, and 849,852 shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at approximately $76.0 million at transaction signing on November 4, 2020) valued at $97.7 million at transaction close based on the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the acquisition date. The cash consideration was funded through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The 849,852 shares of common stock delivered to the sellers as consideration were reissued from treasury shares.


Acquisition Consideration (Amounts in thousands, except for shares)
Cash (a)	$	287,986
Common stock (849,852 shares)	97,656
Total consideration transferred	$	385,642

(a) Amount includes working capital and closing cash adjustments, and includes a $1.0 million to be paid to the sellers as a result of an expected tax refund pursuant to the purchase agreement.

The TRUaire acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under Topic 805. The Company allocated the TRUaire purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, December 15, 2020. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded

to goodwill. The Company completed the analysis of tangible assets, intangible assets, liabilities assumed and the related allocation during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The following table summarizes the Company's estimate of the aggregate fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands).


	Initial Estimated Fair Value		Measurement Period Adjustments		Final Estimated Fair Value
Cash	$	1,471	$	—	$	1,471

Deferred Tax Liabilities	(56,249)		(5,589)		(61,838)
Tax Contingency Reserve	(22,511)		5,190		(17,321)
Lease Liabilities - Long-Term	(45,369)		—		(45,369)
Estimated fair value of net assets acquired	256,566		3,816		260,382
Goodwill	129,169		(3,909)		125,260
Total Purchase Price	$	385,735	$	(93)	$	385,642

Deferred tax liabilities were established to record the deferred tax impact of purchase price accounting adjustments, primarily related to intangible assets. Tax contingency reserves relate to uncertain tax positions TRUaire took in the periods prior to the acquisition date.

In accordance with the tax indemnification included in the purchase agreement of TRUaire, the seller provided contractual indemnification to the Company for up to $12.5 million related to uncertain tax positions taken in prior years. The outcome of this arrangement will either be settled or expire by 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, TRUaire received an audit closing letter from Internal Revenue Service related to calendar 2017, a pre-acquisition tax year. As a result of this, $5.0 million of the relevant tax indemnification assets was released in accordance with the purchase agreement. As of December 31, 2021, $7.5 million of the tax indemnification assets remained outstanding.

Goodwill of $125.3 million represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition goodwill represents the value expected to be obtained from expanding the Company’s product offerings more broadly across the HVAC/R end market. The goodwill recorded as part of this acquisition is included in the Contractor Solutions segment. The goodwill associated with the acquisition will not be amortized for financial reporting purposes and will not be deductible for income tax purposes.

TRUaire generated net revenue of $133.0 million and net income before income taxes of $11.3 million for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2021. The net income before taxes includes the indemnification expense of $5.0 million discussed above. For the three months ended December 31, 2021, TRUaire generated revenue of $30.4 million and net income before income taxes of $2.0 million. TRUaire activity is included in our Contractor Solutions segment. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $7.8 million of transaction expenses in connection with the TRUaire acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. No transaction expenses were incurred during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021.

Pursuant to Topic 805, unaudited supplemental proforma results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, as if the acquisition of TRUaire had occurred on April 1, 2019, are presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended December 31, 2020		Nine Months Ended December 31, 2020
Revenue, net	$	113,857	$	362,419
Net income	5,313		38,209

Net earnings per common share:
Diluted	$	0.33	$	2.42
Basic	$	0.34	$	2.44

These proforma results do not present financial results that would have been realized had the acquisition occurred on April 1, 2019, nor are they intended to be a projection of future results. The unaudited proforma results include certain proforma adjustments to net income that were directly attributable to the acquisition, as if the acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2019, including the following:

•Additional depreciation expense of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, that would have been recognized as a result of the fair value step-up of the property, plant and equipment;

•Additional amortization expense of $2.8 million and $9.6 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, that would have been recognized as a result of the allocation of purchase consideration to customer lists subject to amortization;

•Estimated additional interest expense of $1.0 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, as a result of incurring additional borrowing and

•Income tax effect of the proforma adjustments calculated using a blended statutory income tax rate of 24.5% of $1.0 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

3. CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Whitmore Joint Venture

On April 1, 2021, Whitmore Manufacturing, LLC (“Whitmore”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSWI, completed the formation of the previously announced joint venture (the "Whitmore JV") with Pennzoil-Quaker State Company dba SOPUS Products (“Shell”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell Oil Company that comprises Shell’s U.S. lubricants business. The formation was consummated through a transaction in which Whitmore sold to Shell a 50% interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary (containing certain existing operating assets) in exchange for consideration of $13.4 million from Shell in the form of cash ($5.3 million) and intangible assets ($8.1 million). The Whitmore JV has been consolidated into the operations of the Company and its activity has been included in our Specialized Reliability Solutions segment since the formation date.

The Whitmore JV is deemed to be a VIE as the equity investors at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The major factor that led to the conclusion that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE is that Whitmore has the power to direct the most significant activities due to its ability to direct the manufacturing decisions of the Whitmore JV. Whitmore JV's total net assets are presented below (in thousands):


	December 31, 2021
Cash	$	6,822
Accounts receivable, net	7,392
Inventories, net	1,745
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	84
Property, plant and equipment, net	4,686
Intangible assets, net	7,491
Other assets	134
Total assets	$	28,354

Accounts payable	$	5,645
Accrued and other current liabilities	328
Other long-term liabilities	66
Total liabilities	$	6,039

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Whitmore JV generated net income of $0.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

The Whitmore JV's LLC Agreement contains a put option that gives either member the right to sell its 50% equity interest in the Whitmore JV to the other member at a dollar amount equivalent to 90% of the initiating member's equity interest determined based on the fair market value of the Whitmore JV's net assets. This put option can be exercised, at either member's discretion, by providing written notice to the other member after three years from the Whitmore JV's formation, subject to certain timing restrictions. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the higher of the redemption value or carrying value each reporting period. Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interest for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):


Balance at March 31, 2021	$	—
Fair value of redeemable noncontrolling interest at formation-date	13,391
Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest	985
Contributions from noncontrolling interest	1,000

Adjustments to redemption value	—

5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we revised our segment structure creating three reportable segments: Contractor Solutions, Engineered Building Solutions and Specialized Reliability Solutions. Refer to Note 1 and Note 18 for additional information on the Company's segment realignment. As part of our segment realignment, we changed our reporting units and reallocated existing goodwill to each of the new reportable segments and associated reporting units, based on management's estimate of the relative fair value of each reporting unit. The result of this reallocation of goodwill has been recast, by reportable segment, as of March 31, 2021.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):


	Contractor Solutions		Engineered Building Solutions		Specialized Reliability Solutions		Total
Balance at March 31, 2021	$	169,345	$	22,238	$	27,212	$	218,795
Goodwill re-allocation	14,813		2,727		(17,540)		—

Balance at December 31, 2021	$	203,475	$	24,907	$	9,603	$	237,985

In conjunction with the goodwill reallocation described above, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, we performed an impairment test of goodwill held by all reporting units as of March 31, 2021. Based on the results of the goodwill assessment, we determined that the fair values of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. As such, we concluded that there was no indication of goodwill impairment for all reporting units.

The following table provides information about our intangible assets (in thousands, except years):


		December 31, 2021				March 31, 2021

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, Joe Armes, the Company's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, was awarded a series of long-term incentive awards with the purpose of retaining him through retirement and promoting successful succession planning and transition practices. Mr. Armes' awards include 31,496 shares of restricted stock, 27,559 performance shares and 19,685 performance restricted stock units. All awards granted to Mr. Armes are included in the above restricted share activity.

During the restriction period, the holders of restricted shares are entitled to vote and receive dividends. Unvested restricted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 included 102,306 and 88,425 shares (at target), respectively, with performance-based vesting provisions, and a vesting range of 0%-200% based on pre-defined performance targets with market conditions. Performance-based awards accrue dividend equivalents, which are settled upon (and to the extent of) vesting of the underlying award and do not have the right to vote until vested. Performance-based awards are earned upon the achievement of objective performance targets and are payable in common shares. Compensation expense is calculated based on the fair market value as determined by a Monte Carlo simulation and is recognized over a 36-month cliff vesting period. No awards with performance-based vesting provisions were granted during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. We granted 47,845 and 26,966 awards with performance-based vesting provisions during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, with a vesting range of 0%-200%.

At December 31, 2021, we had unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted shares of $22.4 million, which will be amortized into net income over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 3.6 years. The total fair value of restricted shares granted during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $4.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

Long-term debt	$	230,355	$	241,776

Revolving Credit Facility

As discussed in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report, we had a five-year, $300.0 million revolving credit facility agreement, which was scheduled to mature on September 15, 2022 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings in the U.S. under this facility bore interest at a rate of prime plus 1.00% or London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.00%, which is adjusted based on our quarterly leverage ratio. We also paid a commitment fee of 0.30% for the unutilized portion of this revolving credit facility.

On May 18, 2021, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $400 million revolving credit facility that contains a $25 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10 million sublimit for swingline loans. The Second Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on May 18, 2026. The Company incurred a total of $2.3 million in underwriting discounts and fees, which are being amortized over the life of the Second Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Second Credit Agreement bear interest at either base rate or LIBOR, plus, in either case, an applicable margin based on the Company’s leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis. The base rate is described in the Second Credit Agreement as the highest of (i) the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal, and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. We pay a commitment fee of 0.20% for the unutilized portion of this revolving credit facility. Interest and commitment fees are payable at least quarterly and the outstanding principal balance is due at the maturity date. The Second Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all tangible and intangible assets and stock issued by the Borrower and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to specified exceptions, and 65% of the voting equity interests in its first-tier foreign subsidiaries.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we borrowed $52.5 million and repaid $63.5 million under this facility. As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, we had $221.0 million and $232.0 million, respectively, in our outstanding balance, which resulted in borrowing capacity under the credit facility in place at the time of $179.0 million and $68.0 million, respectively. The financial covenants contained in the Second Credit Agreement require the maintenance of a maximum leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, subject to a temporary increase to 3.75 to 1.00 for 18 months following the consummation of permitted acquisitions with consideration in excess of certain threshold amounts set forth in the Second Credit Agreement, and the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00, the calculations and terms of which are defined in the Second Credit Agreement. Covenant compliance is tested quarterly, and we were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2021.

Whitmore Term Loan

In July 2014, Whitmore secured a term loan (the "Whitmore Term Loan") related to a warehouse and corporate office building and the remodel of an existing manufacturing and research and development facility. The Whitmore Term Loan matures on July 31, 2029 and requires payments of $140,000 each quarter. Borrowings under this term loan bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 2.0%. As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, Whitmore Manufacturing had $9.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively, in principal amount outstanding under the Whitmore Term Loan. Interest payments under the Whitmore Term Loan are hedged under an interest rate swap agreement as described in Note 9.

8. LEASES

We have operating leases for manufacturing facilities, offices, warehouses, vehicles and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 26 years, some of which include escalation clauses and/or options to extend or terminate the leases. We do not currently have any financing lease arrangements.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

We have an interest rate swap agreement to hedge exposure to floating interest rates on the Whitmore Term Loan, as discussed in Note 7. As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, we had $9.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively, of notional amount outstanding designated as an interest rate swap with third parties. The interest rate swap is highly effective. At December 31, 2021, the maximum remaining length of the interest rate swap contract was approximately 7.6 years. The fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument is summarized below (in thousands):


	December 31, 2021		March 31, 2021

Current derivative liabilities	$	193	$	280
Non-current derivative liabilities	734		736

The impact of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap is included in Note 16.

Current and non-current derivative assets are reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively. Current and non-current derivative liabilities are reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in accrued and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively.

We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluation of our counterparties and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.

11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program

On November 7, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $75.0 million of our common stock over a two-year period. On October 30, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock, which replaced the previously announced $75.0 million program. Under the current repurchasae program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases will be made at our discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. Our Board of Directors has established an expiration date of December 31, 2022, for completion of the current repurchase program; however, the program may be limited or terminated at any time at our discretion without notice. Under the current repurchase program, 4,175 shares were repurchased during the three months ended December 31, 2021, and no shares were repurchased during the three months ended December 31, 2020. A total of 740,137 shares were repurchased for an aggregate amount of $46.0 million under the prior $75.0 million program that was replaced by the current $100.0 million program. As of December 31, 2021, a total of 4,175 shares had been repurchased for an aggregate amount of $0.5 million under the current $100.0 million program.

Dividends

In April 2019, we commenced a quarterly dividend program. Total dividends of $2.4 million and $2.0 million were paid during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total dividends of $7.1 million and $6.0 million were paid during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On January 13, 2022, we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share payable on February 11, 2022 to shareholders of record as of January 31, 2022. Any future dividends at the existing $0.15 per share quarterly rate or otherwise will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the interest rate swap contract (as discussed in Note 9) is determined using Level 2 inputs. The carrying value of our debt (discussed in Note 7) approximates fair value as it bears interest at floating rates. The carrying amounts of other financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable) approximate their fair values at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 due to their short-term nature.

13. RETIREMENT PLANS

Refer to Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report for a description of our retirement and postretirement benefits.

The following tables set forth the combined net pension benefit recognized in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all plans (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Service cost, benefits earned during the period	$	12	$	10	$	36	$	30

Net pension benefit	$	36	$	40	$	106	$	121

The components of net periodic cost for retirement and postretirement benefits, other than service costs, are included in other expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

14. CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no matters pending, whether individually or in the aggregate, that we currently believe have a reasonable possibility of having a material impact to our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

15. INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, we earned $10.8 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $2.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.1%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we earned $61.9 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $14.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.6%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to excess tax deductions related to stock compensation, deductions related to foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII"), federal return to provision adjustments and foreign tax credits, partially offset by state and foreign income taxes, executive compensation limitations, provision for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") and an increase in the reserves for uncertain tax provisions.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, we earned $3.1 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $0.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.2%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020, we earned $40.2 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $9.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.8%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to excess tax deductions related to stock compensation, deductions related to FDII, federal return to provision adjustments, foreign tax credits and adjustments related to state tax returns and state R&D credits, partially offset by state and foreign income taxes and provision for GILTI and a change in indefinite reinvestment assertion related to the investment in a foreign subsidiary.

A CSWI subsidiary is currently under examination by a state tax jurisdiction for years ending December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. We have not been notified of any material adjustments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our operations financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report, as well as our consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 included in our Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations relating to future events and our future performance that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those risk factors set forth in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

We are a growth-oriented, diversified industrial company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. Our broad portfolio of leading products provides performance optimizing and life safety solutions to our customers. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration ("HVAC/R"), grilles, registers and diffusers ("GRD"), engineered building products and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, energy, rail, mining and general industrial. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 highly respected industrial brands including No. 5®, KOPR-KOTE®, Kats Coatings®, Safe-T-Switch®, Air Sentry®, Deacon®, Leak Freeze®, Greco®, TRUaire® and Shoemaker ManufacturingTM.. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States ("U.S."), Canada and Vietnam, and we also have distribution operations in U.S., Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom ("U.K."). Our products are sold directly to end users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, including: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, the U.K., United Arab Emirates and the U.S.

We conduct our operations through three business segments. Our Contractor Solutions segment manufactures and supplies products predominantly for residential and commercial HVAC/R and plumbing applications, which are designed primarily for professional tradespeople. Our Engineered Building Solutions segment provides primarily code-driven products focused on life safety that are engineered to provide aesthetically-pleasing solutions for the construction, refurbishment and modernization of commercial, institutional, and multi-family residential buildings. Our Specialized Reliability Solutions segment provides products for increasing the reliability, performance and lifespan of industrial assets and solving equipment maintenance challenges.

We believe that our broad portfolio of products and markets served, as well as our brand recognition, will continue to provide opportunities; however, we face ongoing challenges affecting many companies, such as environmental and other regulatory compliance, combined with overall global economic uncertainty.

business or financial condition, due to continued uncertainty regarding (1) the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any surges due to the Omicron variant or other future mutations and (2) the continued potential for short and long-term impacts on our facilities and employees, customer demand and supply chain.

Whitmore Joint Venture

On April 1, 2021, Whitmore Manufacturing, LLC (“Whitmore”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSWI, completed the formation of the previously announced joint venture (the "Whitmore JV") with Pennzoil-Quaker State Company dba SOPUS Products (“Shell”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell Oil Company that comprises Shell’s U.S. lubricants business. The formation was consummated through a transaction in which Whitmore sold to Shell a 50% interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary (containing certain existing operating assets) in exchange for consideration of $13.4 million from Shell in the form of cash and intangible assets. The Whitmore JV is deemed to be a variable interest entity ("VIE") and the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE, primarily due to Whitmore having the power to direct the manufacturing activities, which are considered the most significant activities for the Whitmore JV. Refer to Note 3 for further information on the Whitmore JV. The Whitmore JV has been consolidated into the operations of the Company and its activity has been included in our Specialized Reliability Solutions segment since the formation date.

Segment Realignment

Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we revised our segment structure to align with how our chief operating decision maker (who was determined to be our Chief Executive Officer) views our business, assesses performance and allocates resources to our business components. This segment structure revision became effective on April 1, 2021, and followed the completion of various strategic transactions including the acquisition of T.A. Industries, Inc. ("TRUaire") and the formation of the Whitmore JV. Refer to Accounting Policies in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for detailed descriptions of our three business segments.

As a result of the business segment revision, reclassification of certain prior year financial information has been made to conform with the current period's presentation. None of the changes impact the Company's previously reported consolidated net revenue, operating income, net income or net income per share. Refer to Note 18 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information on the Company's segment realignment.

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
(Amounts in thousands)	2021		2020
Revenues, net	$	453,136	$	285,836

Net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $46.4 million, or 51.5%, as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the TRUaire and Shoemaker acquisitions ($26.8 million or 29.8%). Excluding the impact of acquisitions, organic sales increased $19.6 million, or 21.7%, from the prior year due to increased sales volumes and implemented pricing initiatives. Sales volumes increased in HVAC/R, energy, plumbing, mining, rail and general industrial end markets and decreased in the architecturally-specified building products end market. Pricing initiatives, which began in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to mitigate rising costs, continued and increased during the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Net revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 increased $167.3 million, or 58.5%, as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the TRUaire and Shoemaker acquisitions ($95.6 million or 33.4%). Excluding the impact of acquisitions, organic sales increased $71.7 million, or 25.1%, from the prior year due to increased sales volumes and implemented pricing initiatives. Sales volumes increased in HVAC/R, energy, plumbing, mining, rail and architecturally-specified building products end markets and decreased in the general industrial end market.

(Amounts in thousands, except percentages)	2021			2020
Gross profit	$	181,691		$	130,826
Gross profit margin	40.1		%	45.8		%

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $10.7 million, or 27.2%, as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily a result of the impact of the TRUaire and Shoemaker acquisitions, increased organic sales and pricing initiatives. Gross profit margin of 36.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 decreased as compared to 43.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was due to the inclusion of the TRUaire acquisition, material and freight cost increases outpacing implemented pricing initiatives and $0.5 million under-absorption costs resulting from reduced production levels and incremental compensation expenses incurred at the TRUaire Vietnam facility during the quarter to maintain TRUaire Vietnam's operations in accordance with COVID-19 restrictions ("TRUaire Vietnam COVID COGS Impact"). Additionally, a shift in sales to lower margin projects for the Engineered Building Solutions segment also contributed to the gross profit margin decrease.

Gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 increased $50.9 million, or 38.9%, as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily a result of the impact of the TRUaire and Shoemaker acquisitions, increased organic sales and pricing initiatives. Gross profit margin of 40.1% for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 decreased as compared to 45.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to the inclusion of the TRUaire acquisition, material and freight cost increases outpacing implemented pricing initiatives,

$3.9 million purchase accounting effect related to the TRUaire acquisition and the TRUaire Vietnam COVID COGS Impact of $1.7 million. Additionally, a shift in sales to lower margin projects for the Engineered Building Solutions segment also contributed to the gross profit margin decrease.

Operating Expenses


	Three Months Ended December 31,
(Amounts in thousands, except percentages)	2021			2020
Operating expenses	$	37,894		$	35,221
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues, net	27.8		%	39.2		%

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $2.7 million, or 7.6%, as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the added expenses related to the inclusion of TRUaire, Shoemaker and the Whitmore JV in the current period, increased equity compensation expenses, increased spending on sales commissions driven by increased revenues, increased depreciation expenses related to enterprise resource planning systems, increased headcount, increased travel and $0.5 million transaction expenses related to the Shoemaker acquisition. The increases were partially offset by transaction expenses ($8.0 million) related to the TRUaire acquisition and JV formation incurred in prior year period that did not recur. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to sales increasing by a greater percentage than the increase in operating expenses.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 increased $26.9 million, or 30.5%, as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the added expenses related to the inclusion of TRUaire, Shoemaker and the Whitmore JV in the current period, increased equity compensation expenses and increased spending on sales commissions driven by increased revenues, increased depreciation expenses related to enterprise resource planning systems, increased headcount, increased travel and $0.5 million of transaction expenses related to the Shoemaker acquisition. The increases were partially offset by transactions expenses ($8.2 million) related to the TRUaire acquisition and JV formation incurred in prior year period that did not recur. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to sales increasing by a greater percentage than the increase in operating expenses.

Business Segments

We conduct our operations through three business segments based on how we manage the business. We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segment's operating income. The key operating results for our three segments are discussed below.

Contractor Solutions Segment Results

The Contractor Solutions segment manufactures and supplies products predominantly for residential and commercial HVAC/R and plumbing applications, which are designed primarily for professional tradespeople.


	Three Months Ended December 31,
(Amounts in thousands)	2021			2020
Revenues, net	$	82,459		$	44,439
Operating income	10,756			2,900
Operating margin	13.0		%	6.5		%

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
(Amounts in thousands)	2021			2020
Revenues, net	$	296,048		$	157,695
Operating income	67,021			40,459
Operating margin	22.6		%	25.7		%

Net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $38.0 million, or 85.6%, as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the TRUaire and Shoemaker acquisitions ($26.8 million or 60.3%). Excluding the impact of acquisitions, organic sales increased by $11.2 million, or 25.3%, due to increased volumes and implemented pricing initiatives. Sales volumes increased in HVAC/R, plumbing and architecturally-specified building products end markets and decreased in general industrial end market. Pricing initiatives to mitigate rising costs, which began in the three months ended March 31, 2021, continued and increased during the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Net revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 increased $138.4 million, or 87.7%, as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the TRUaire and Shoemaker acquisitions ($95.6 million or 60.6%). Excluding the impact of acquisitions, organic sales increased by $42.8 million, or 27.1%, due to increased sales volumes and implemented pricing initiatives. Sales volumes increased in HVAC/R, plumbing and architecturally-specified building products end markets and decreased in general industrial end market. Pricing initiatives to mitigate rising costs, which began in the three months ended March 31, 2021, continued and increased during the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $7.9 million, or 270.9%, as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of TRUaire and Shoemaker and the transactions expenses ($6.9 million) related to the TRUaire acquisition incurred in prior year period that did not recur, partially offset by the transaction expenses ($0.5 million) in the current period related to the Shoemaker acquisition. The organic sales growth contributed to the increased operating income, which was partially offset by increased material and freight costs, the $0.5 million TRUaire Vietnam COVID COGS Impact discussed above and increased spending on sales commissions and depreciation and optimization expenses related to enterprise resource planning systems.

Operating income for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 increased $26.6 million, or 65.7%, as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of TRUaire and Shoemaker and the transactions expenses ($7.1 million) related to the TRUaire acquisition incurred in prior year period that did not recur, partially offset by the transaction expenses ($0.5 million) in the current period related to the Shoemaker acquisition. The organic sales growth contributed to the increased operating income, which was partially offset by increased material and freight costs, a $3.9 million purchase accounting effect related to the TRUaire acquisition, the $1.7 million TRUaire Vietnam COVID COGS Impact discussed above and increased spending on sales commissions, depreciation and optimization expenses related to enterprise resource planning systems, headcount and travel.

Engineered Building Solutions Segment Results

Net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2021 decreased $1.8 million or 7.0% as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 due to demand softness in the multi-family residential buildings subcategory outpacing growth in other subcategories served in the architecturally-specified building products end market.

Net revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 increased $1.8 million, or 2.6%, as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to enhanced marketing efforts to promote existing and newly developed products in the architecturally-specified building products end market, market share gains due to competitive lead times in the market place and improved specification levels.

Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 decreased $1.0 million, or 23.7%, as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was due to a shift in sales to lower margin projects.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow Analysis


	Nine Months Ended December 31,
(Amounts in thousands)	2021		2020
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	69,472	$	54,046
Net cash used in investing activities	(44,762)		(284,962)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	(18,569)		229,303

Existing cash, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. We monitor the depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents on a regular basis, and we believe that we have placed our deposits with creditworthy financial institutions. Our sources of operating cash generally include the sale of our products and services and the conversion of our working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventories. Our cash balance (including cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2021 was $16.2 million, as compared with $10.1 million at March 31, 2021.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, our cash provided by operating activities from operations was $69.5 million, as compared with $54.0 million for nine months ended December 31, 2020.

•Working capital used cash for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 due to higher inventories ($33.3 million) and prepaid expenses and higher prepaid expenses and other current assets ($4.8 million), partially offset by higher accounts payable and other current liabilities ($12.0 million), lower accounts receivable ($5.6 million) and lower other assets ($0.4 million).

•Working capital provided cash for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 due to lower accounts receivable ($14.1 million), partially offset by higher prepaid expenses and other current assets ($4.5 million), lower accounts payable and other current liabilities ($1.8 million), higher inventories ($1.6 million) and higher other current assets ($0.3 million).

Cash flows used in investing activities from operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 were $44.8 million, as compared with $285.0 million used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

•Capital expenditures during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $8.4 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Our capital expenditures have been focused on enterprise resource planning systems, new product introductions, capacity expansion, continuous improvement, and automation of manufacturing facilities.

•During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, proceeds of $1.4 million were received as a result of final working capital true-up adjustment related to the TRUaire acquisition.

•During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we acquired Shoemaker for an aggregate purchase price of $44.0 million, including $39.0 million in cash consideration, as discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $(18.6) million and $229.3 million, respectively. Cash outflows resulted from:

•Net repayments on our line of credit and term loan (as discussed in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report) of $11.4 million and $244.6 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

•Payments of $2.3 million of underwriting discounts and fees in connection with our line of credit amendment during the nine months ended December 31, 2021, as discussed in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

•Repurchases of shares under our share repurchase program (as discussed in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report) of $0.5 million and $7.3 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

•Proceeds from the acquisition of the redeemable noncontrolling interest shareholder for its investment in the consolidated Whitmore JV of $6.3 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2021, as discussed in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

•Dividend payments of $7.1 million and $6.0 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We believe that available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows generated through operations and cash available under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities of various sizes. The cost and terms of any financing to be raised in conjunction with any acquisition, including our ability to raise capital, is a critical consideration in any such evaluation. Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report contains a discussion of the recent acquisitions.

Financing

Credit Facilities

See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of our indebtedness. We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2021.

We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge our exposure to variable interest payments related to our indebtedness. This agreement is more fully described in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, and in “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” below.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we believe have or are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained within this Quarterly Report. Our critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements were discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report. No significant changes to these policies, as described in our Annual Report, have occurred in the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

The process of preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based upon what we believe is the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Based on an assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements provide a meaningful and fair perspective of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This is not to suggest that other general risk factors, such as changes in worldwide demand, changes in material costs, performance of acquired businesses and others, could not adversely impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

We have presented the information about pronouncements not yet implemented in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements appearing in this Quarterly Report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include expected restructuring charges and the results of the restructuring, financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “potential,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to, or statements that are subject to risks, contingencies or uncertainties that relate to:

•our business strategy;

•future levels of revenues, operating margins, income from operations, net income or earnings per share;

•anticipated levels of demand for our products and services;

•short and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic;

•future levels of research and development, capital, environmental or maintenance expenditures;

•our beliefs regarding the timing and effects on our business of health and safety, tax, environmental or other legislation, rules and regulations;

•the success or timing of completion of ongoing or anticipated capital, restructuring or maintenance projects;

•expectations regarding the acquisition or divestiture of assets and businesses;

•our ability to obtain appropriate insurance and indemnities;

•the potential effects of judicial or other proceedings, including tax audits, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;

•the anticipated effects of actions of third parties such as competitors, or federal, foreign, state or local regulatory authorities, or plaintiffs in litigation;

•the effective date and expected impact of accounting pronouncements; and

•other factors listed under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and other filings with the SEC.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements for a number of important factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report. You should not put undue reliance on any forwarding-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We seek to minimize the risk associated with changes in interest rates through regular operating and financing activities, and when deemed appropriate, through the use of an interest rate swap. It is our policy to enter into interest rate swaps only to the extent considered necessary to meet our risk management objectives. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Variable Rate Indebtedness

We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate indebtedness. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct effect on interest expense associated with our outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2021, we had $221.0 million in outstanding variable rate indebtedness, after consideration of our interest rate swap. We manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings by means of an interest rate swap agreement. At December 31, 2021, we had an interest rate swap agreement that covered 4.3% of our $230.9 million total outstanding indebtedness. Each quarter point change in interest rates would result in a $0.6 million change in our interest expense on an annual basis.

We may also be exposed to credit risk in derivative contracts we may use. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We have sought to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We conduct a small portion of our operations outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our non-U.S. operations are conducted primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies, and include the Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar and Vietnamese dong. Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions denominated in a currency other than a non-U.S. operation’s functional currency. We recognized foreign currency transaction net losses of $0.2 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in other expense, net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. We realized a net gain (loss) associated with foreign currency translation of $(0.1) million and $4.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Based on a sensitivity analysis at December 31, 2021, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 would have impacted our net earnings by a negligible amount. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion relative to the U.S. dollar and that there are no indirect effects, such as changes in non-U.S. dollar sales volumes or prices.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The disclosure contained in Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report is incorporated by reference into this “Item 1. Legal Proceedings.” In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are from time to time named defendants in certain lawsuits incidental to our business, including product liability claims that are insured, subject to applicable deductibles, and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving us and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not currently expect the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, careful consideration should be given to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of our Annual Report, which contain descriptions of significant factors that may cause the actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.

There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report and subsequent SEC filings. The risks described in this Quarterly Report, our Annual Report and in our other SEC filings or press releases from time to time are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties are currently deemed immaterial based on management’s assessment of currently available information, which remains subject to change; however, new risks that are currently unknown to us may arise in the future that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report includes a discussion of our share repurchase programs. The following table represents the number of shares repurchased during the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
