Spin-Off of Kimball Electronics reported as Discontinued Operations
On October 31, 2014 (“Distribution Date”), we completed the spin-off of our Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) segment by distributing the related shares of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (“Kimball Electronics”), on a pro rata basis, to the Company’s Share Owners of record as of October 22, 2014. After the Distribution Date, the Company no longer beneficially owns any Kimball Electronics shares and Kimball Electronics is an independent publicly traded company. Kimball International, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KBAL” and Kimball Electronics, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KE”. See Note 2 - Spin-Off Transaction of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the spin-off of our EMS segment.
On October 30, 2014, holders of a sufficient number of shares of Class A common stock converted such shares into Class B common stock such that the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock was, after such conversions, less than 15% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of both Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation when the number of shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding was reduced to less than 15% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of both Class A common stock and Class B common stock, then all of the rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions relating to Class B common stock became the same as the rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of Class A common stock, without any further action of or by the Company’s Share Owners. In addition, all distinctions between Class A common stock and Class B common stock were eliminated so that all shares of Class B common stock are equal to shares of Class A common stock with respect to all matters, including without limitation, dividend payments and voting rights. The elimination of such distinctions, which occurred on October 30, 2014, is referred to as the “stock unification.” As a result of the stock unification, Class A common stock and Class B common stock now vote as a single class (except as otherwise required by applicable law) on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s Share Owners. We deregistered our shares of Class A common stock under the Exchange Act effective in September 2015. Deregistration did not affect the rights of Share Owners who chose to continue to hold their Class A shares.

Spin-Off of Kimball Electronics
On October 31, 2014 (“Distribution Date”), we completed the spin-off of our Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) segment by distributing the related shares of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (“Kimball Electronics”), on a pro rata basis, to our shareowners of record as of October 22, 2014.

The disclosures within this Part I describe the continuing operations of Kimball International, Inc. after the spin-off.
Recent Business Changes
Acquisition of D’style, Inc.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we acquired certain assets of D’style, Inc. (“D’style”), headquartered in Chula Vista, California. This acquisition expanded our reach into hospitality public spaces and added an attractive product portfolio of solutions for the residential market through the acquired Allan Copley Designs brand. These offerings enable us to take advantage of the trend where hospitality, residential and commercial designs are merging. As part of this acquisition, we also acquired all of the capital stock of Diseños de Estilo S.A. de C.V. headquartered in Tijuana, Mexico, another member of the D’style group which manufactures exclusively for D’style, strengthening our North American manufacturing footprint and serving as a distribution channel to the Mexico and Latin America hospitality markets. The cash paid for the acquisition totaled $18.2 million. An earn-out of up to $2.2 million may be paid, which is contingent based upon fiscal year 2018 and 2019 D’style, Inc. operating income compared to a predetermined target for each fiscal year. See Note 2 - Acquisition of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the acquisition.
Capacity Utilization Restructuring Plan
In November 2014, we announced a capacity utilization restructuring plan which included the consolidation of our metal fabrication production from an operation located in Post Falls, Idaho, into existing production facilities in Indiana, and the reduction of our Company plane fleet from two jets to one.
The transfer of work from our Idaho facility involved the start-up of metal fabrication capabilities in an existing Company-owned facility, along with the transfer of certain assembly operations into two additional existing Company-owned facilities, all located in southern Indiana. All production was transferred out of the Idaho facility as of March 2016. Work continues2016, after which work continued in the Indiana facilities to train employees, ramp-upramp up production and eliminate the inefficiencies associated with the start-up of production in these facilities. We anticipate theThe improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and reduction of transportation costs willbegan to generate pre-tax annual pre-tax savings of approximately $5 million with savings beginning to ramp up in ourfiscal year 2017. In addition, during the first quarter ending September 2016. We expect to achieve the full quarterly savings level by the end of fiscal year 2017, we sold our second quarter ending December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2016 thePost Falls, Idaho facility and land was classified as held for sale as it was being actively marketed for sale. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, we sold the Idaho facility and land which is explained inland. See Note 214 - Subsequent EventsProperty and Equipment of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements for more information on the sale of the Idaho facility.
The reduction of our plane fleet from two jets to one reduced our cost structure while aligning the plane fleet size with our needs following the spin-off of Kimball Electronics on October 31, 2014. Previously, one of our jets was used primarily for the successful strategy of transporting customers to visit our showrooms, offices, research and development center, and


manufacturing locations, while the remaining jet was used primarily for management travel. The plane used primarily for management travel was sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, and as a result, we began realizing the expected annual pre-tax savings of $0.8 million. In regards to the remaining jet, weWe believe that our location in rural Jasper, Indiana and the location of our manufacturing locations in small towns away from major metropolitan areas necessitates the need for the remaining jet to efficiently transport customers.
Other Recent Business Changes
Production within
Outsourcing of Shipping Function
During fiscal year 2018 we outsourced the remainder of our existingoutbound shipping that was previously transported by our Company-owned shipping fleet to a dedicated freight provider and sold our fleet of over-the-road tractors and trailers. The outsourcing to a dedicated freight provider is expected to partially mitigate increasing transportation costs from non-dedicated freight carriers. In addition, we expect to minimize risks associated with operating an internal shipping fleet and to increase utilization of the outsourced transportation fleet over our previous internal fleet which was being impacted by driver shortages. The dedicated freight provider operates transportation equipment with our Company branding. We continue to operate Company-owned tractors and trailers to move products between our production facilities expanded in fiscal years 2015 and 2013 to manufacture select hospitality furniture products domestically, improving our ability to meet customer requests for shorter lead times.distribution warehouses.
Seasonality
The impact of seasonality on our revenue includes lower sales in the third quarter of our fiscal year due to the buying season of the government, lower sales to educational institutions during our second and third fiscal quarters, and lower sales of hospitality furniture during times of high hotel occupancy such as the summer months.
Locations
As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s2018, our products were primarily produced at teneleven plants: seven located in Indiana, two in Kentucky, one in Virginia, and one in Virginia.Mexico. In addition, select finished goods are purchased from domestic and foreign sources. As described above, our facility in Idaho was classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2016 and has subsequently been sold. The Companysold in fiscal year 2017. We continually assessesassess manufacturing capacity and adjustsadjust such capacity as necessary.
In addition, aA facility in Indiana houseswhich housed an education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, (American Association for Laboratory Accreditation certified), and a product showroom.showroom was sold near the end of fiscal year 2017. We leased a portion of the facility back until December 2017 to facilitate the transition of those functions to other existing Indiana locations. Furniture showrooms are currently maintained in eight additional cities in the United States. Office space is leased in Dongguan, Guangdong, China and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to facilitate sourcing of select finished goods and components from the Asia Pacific Region. As a result of the acquisition of D’style, we also lease office and manufacturing space in Chula Vista, California and Tijuana, Mexico.
Marketing Channels
Our furniture is marketed by sales representatives to end users by both independent and employee sales representatives, office furniture dealers, wholesalers, brokers, designers, purchasing companies, and catalog houses throughout North America and on an international basis. Customers can access our products globally through a variety of distribution channels.
We categorize our sales by the following vertical markets:
Commercial - The largest portion of our business is in the commercial market. We are a full-facility provider offering products for a variety of officecommercial applications including: private office, collaborative and open plan, lobby-lounge, conferencing and meeting/huddle, training, dining/café, learning, lobby and reception, and everything in between.other public spaces.
Education - Whether K-12, higher education, vocational training or any other learning institution, we understand that furniture for education needs to enhance learning and social environments. We offer flexible, collaborative, and technology-driven furnishings that we believe willdesigned to make students and faculty more productive and comfortable.

We hold two Federal Supply Service contracts with the General Services Administration (“GSA”) that are subject to government subcontract reporting requirements. We also partner with multiple general purchasing organizations which assist public agencies such as state and local governments with office furniture purchases. The U.S. government, as well as state and local governments, can typically terminate or modify their contracts with us either at their discretion or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract, which could expose us to liability and impede our ability to compete in the future for contracts and orders. During fiscal year 2016,


2018, sales related to our GSA contracts were approximately 8.9%7.5% of total Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales, with one contract accounting for approximately 5.0%5.3% of total Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales and the other contract accounting for approximately 3.9%2.2% of Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales.

A table showing our net sales by end market vertical is included in Part II, Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Major Competitive Factors
Our products are sold in the officecontract furniture and hospitality furniture industries. These industries have similar major competitive factors which include price in relation to quality and appearance, product design, the utility of the product, supplier lead time, reliability of on-time delivery, sustainability, and the ability to respond to requests for special and non-standard products. We offer payment terms similar to industry standards and in unique circumstances may grant alternate payment terms.
Certain industries are more price sensitive than others, but all expect on-time, damage-free delivery. We maintain sufficient finished goods inventories to be able to offer prompt shipment of most of our own lines of hospitality furniture. In addition to the many options available on our standard furniture products, custom furniture is produced to customer specifications and shipping timelines on a project basis. Many of our office furniture products are shipped through our delivery system, which we believe offers the ability to reduce damage to product, enhance scheduling flexibility, and improve the capability for on-time deliveries.
Competitors
There are numerous furniture manufacturers competing within the marketplace, with a significant number of competitors offering similar products.
Our competition includes furniture manufacturers such as Steelcase Inc., Herman Miller, Inc., Knoll, Inc., HNI Corporation, and several othera large number of smaller privately-owned furniture manufacturers.manufacturers, both domestic and foreign-based.
Working Capital
The Company doesWe do not believe that it,we, or the industry in general, hashave any special practices or special conditions affecting working capital items that are significant for understanding our furniture business. The Company doesWe do receive advance payments from customers on select furniture projects primarily in the hospitality industry. 
Raw Material Availability
Certain components used in the production of furniture are manufactured internally and are generally readily available, as are other raw materials used in the production of wood and non-wood furniture. Certain fabricated seating components, and wood frame assemblies as well as finished furniture products, electrical components, stone, fabrics, and fabricated metal components, which are generally readily available, are sourced on a global scale in an effort to provide quality products at the lowest total cost. The cost and availability of both domestic and foreign sourced product could be impacted if tariffs are imposed on such products.

The open orders as of June 30, 20162018 are expected to be filled within the next fiscal year. Open orders may not be indicative of future sales trends.

Intellectual Property
In connection with our business operations, we hold both trademarks and patents in various countries and continuously have additional pending trademarks and patents. The intellectual property which we believe to be the most significant to the Company includes: Kimball, National, Epicenter,D’style, Fringe, Waveworks, Xsite, Narrate, Pairings, and Xsite,Dock, which are all registered trademarks. Our patents expire at various times depending on the patent’s date of issuance.
Environment and Energy Matters
Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations with respect to environmental matters. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with present laws and regulations and that there are no material liabilities related to such items.
We are dedicated to excellence, leadership, and stewardship in matters of protecting the environment and communities in which we have operations. Reinforcing our commitment to the environment, sevensix of our showrooms and twoone non-manufacturing locationslocation were designed under the guidelines of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Commercial Interiors program. One manufacturing facility was designed under the LEED Operations and Maintenance program guidelines. Our National brand headquarters is Fitwel certified, which is a building certification that supports healthier workplace environments to improve occupant health and productivity.
We believe that continued compliance with foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations which have been enacted relating to the protection of the environment will not have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. We believe capital expenditures for environmental control equipment during the next two fiscal years ending June 30, 2018,2020, will not represent a material portion of total capital expenditures during those years.
Our manufacturing operations require the use of natural gas and electricity. Federal and state regulations may control the allocation of fuels available to us, but to date we have experienced no interruption of production due to such regulations. In our wood furniture manufacturing plants, a portion of energy requirements are satisfied internally by the use of our own scrap wood produced during the manufacturing of product.

Item 1A - Risk Factors
The following important risk factors could affect future results and events, causing results and events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements made in this report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Such factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and should be carefully considered before deciding to invest in, or retain, shares of our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not currently know about, we currently believe are immaterial or we have not predicted may also affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Because of these and other factors, past performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.
Changes to government regulations may significantly increase our operating costs in the United States and abroad. Legislative and regulatory reforms by the U.S. federal and foreign governments could significantly impact our profitability by burdening us with forced cost choices that are difficult to recover with increased pricing. For example:
We depend on suppliers globally to provide materials, parts, finished goods, and components for use in our products. We utilize both steel and aluminum in our products, most of which is sourced domestically. The U.S. recently imposed tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum imported from several countries which could adversely impact our input costs. The government has also recently proposed to expand its list of products subject to tariffs to include furniture products, parts, and components, and if approved, the landed cost of our products could increase materially, which would reduce our net income if we are unable to mitigate the additional cost. Additional tariffs or changes in global trade agreements or in U.S. governmental import/export regulations could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We conduct business with entities in Canada and Mexico; therefore, a modification or withdrawal from the North American Free Trade Agreement by the U.S. federal government could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We import a portion of our wooden furniture products and are thus subject to an anti-dumping tariff specifically on wooden bedroom furniture supplied from China. The tariffs are subject to review and could result in retroactive and prospective tariff rate increases which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
State and foreign regulations are increasing in many areas such as hazardous waste disposal, labor relations, employment practices and data privacy, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act. Compliance with these regulations could require us to update our processes and could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We may be unable to purchase a sufficient amount of materials, parts, and components for use in our products at a competitive price, in a timely manner, or at all. We depend on suppliers globally to provide timely delivery of materials, parts, and components for use in our products. We monitor the financial stability of suppliers when feasible, as the loss of a significant supplier could have an adverse impact on our operations. Certain finished products and components we purchase are primarily manufactured in select regions of the world and issues in those regions could cause manufacturing delays. In addition, delays can occur related to the transport of products and components via container ships, which load and unload through various U.S. ports which sometimes experience congestion. Price increases of commodity components could have an adverse impact on our profitability if we cannot offset such increases with other cost reductions or by price increases to customers. New tariffs or trade regulations which have been and could be imposed by the U.S. federal government may adversely impact our access, price, and delivery of finished products and components from foreign sources, and therefore adversely affect our profitability. Materials we utilize are generally available, but future availability is unknown and could impact our ability to meet customer order requirements. If suppliers fail to meet commitments to us in terms of price, delivery, or quality, it could interrupt our operations and negatively impact our ability to meet commitments to customers.
Uncertain macroeconomic and industry conditions, or a sustained slowdown or significant downturn in our markets, could adversely impact demand for our products and adversely affect operating results. Market demand for our products, which impacts revenues and gross profit, is influenced by a variety of economic and industry factors such as:
global consumer confidence;
volatility and the cyclical nature of worldwide economic conditions;
weakness in the global financial markets;
general corporate profitability of the end markets to which we sell;
credit availability to the end markets to which we sell;
service-sector unemployment rates;
commercial property vacancy rates;


new office construction and refurbishment rates;
deficit status of many governmental entities which may result in declining purchases of office furniture;
uncertainty surrounding potential reform of the Affordable Care Act; and
new hotel and casino construction and refurbishment rates.
We must make decisions based on order volumes in order to achieve manufacturing efficiency. These decisions include determining what level of additional business to accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, and personnel requirements, among various other considerations. We must constantly monitor the changing economic landscape and may modify our strategic direction accordingly. If we do not react quickly enough to the changes in market or economic conditions, it could result in lost customers, decreased market share, and increased operating costs.
A shortage of capacity in the trucking industry could drive increases in freight costs. We outsource inbound and outbound shipping to third-party contract carriers, including a dedicated freight provider that operates transportation equipment with our Company branding, and other commercial contract carriers. We have experienced pressure on freight costs as the demand exceeds the capacity of available trucking fleets, particularly for commercial contract carriers. If capacity remains tight, and we are unable to mitigate a freight cost increase through our supply chain planning or by increasing prices on our products, it could adversely affect our profitability.
Changes in U.S. fiscal and tax policies may adversely affect our business. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act reduced federal corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018 and changed numerous other provisions. Because Kimball International has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate federal income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 28.1% for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The statutory federal tax rate will be 21% in subsequent fiscal years. Fiscal year 2018 included approximately $3.3 million in reduced income tax expense to reflect federal taxes on current year taxable income at the lower blended effective tax rate, partially offset by a discrete tax impact of $1.8 million in additional expense as a result of applying the new lower federal income tax rates to our net tax assets. The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex and future impacts may be dependent on interpretations of the Tax Act, legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, or changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act. While the Tax Act reduced our current rate, future changes to the federal tax rate could have an adverse impact. In addition, states or foreign jurisdictions may amend their tax laws and policies in response to the Tax Act, which could have a material impact on our future results and our effective tax rate.
Fluctuations in our effective tax rate could have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, mainly in the United States. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes, other tax liabilities, interest, and penalties. Future events could change management’s assessment. We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. We have also made assumptions about the realization of deferred tax assets. Changes in these assumptions could result in a valuation allowance for these assets. Final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is currently reflected by our income tax provisions and accruals.
Our failure to retain our existing management team, maintain our engineering, technical, and manufacturing process expertise, or continue to attract qualified personnel could adversely affect our business. We depend significantly on our executive officers and other key personnel. Our success is also dependent on keeping pace with technological advancements and adapting services to provide manufacturing capabilities which meet customers’ changing needs. To do that, we must retain our qualified engineering and technical personnel and successfully anticipate and respond to technological changes in a cost effective and timely manner. Our culture and guiding principles focus on continuous training, motivation, and development of employees, and we strive to attract, motivate, and retain qualified personnel. Failure to retain our executive officers and retain and attract other key personnel could adversely affect our business. Mr. Schneider, our Chief Executive Officer, plans to retire effective October 31, 2018. The Board of Directors has created a Continuity Committee to facilitate our succession planning process relative to Mr. Schneider’s retirement; however, the change in executive leadership could impact the execution of our business strategy. If we encounter difficulties in the transition, that could affect our relationship with our customers and could adversely impact our financial results.
Our sales to the U.S. government are subject to compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements and noncompliance could expose us to liability or impede current or future business. The U.S. government, as well as state and local governments, can typically terminate or modify their contracts with us either at their discretion or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract, which could expose us to liability and impede our ability to compete in the future for contracts and orders. The failure to comply with regulatory and contractual requirements could subject us to investigations, fines, or other penalties, and violations of certain regulatory and contractual requirements could also result in us being suspended or debarred from future government contracting.


In March 2016, in connection with a renewal of one of our contracts with the GSA, we became aware of noncompliance and inaccuracies in our GSA subcontractor reporting. Accordingly, we retained outside legal counsel to assist in conducting an internal review of our reporting practices, and we self-reported the matter and the results of the internal review to the GSA. We have promptly responded to inquiries from the GSA since our initial reporting, have met with government officials as requested on two occasions, and we intend to cooperate fully with any further inquiries or investigations. While we are not able to reasonably estimate the future financial impact, if any, of the possible sanctions at this time, any of them could, if imposed, have a material adverse impact on our business, future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The timing of the government’s review and determination of any outcome of these matters is uncertain and, therefore, it is unclear as to when and to what extent, if any, our previously issued earnings guidancefinancial targets might be impacted. We have incurred, and will continue tomay incur additional, legal and related costs in connection with our internal review and the government’s response to this matter. During fiscal year 2016,2018, sales related to our GSA contracts were approximately 8.9%7.5% of total Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales, with one contract accounting for approximately 5.0%5.3% of total Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales and the other contract accounting for approximately 3.9% of Kimball International, Inc. sales.
If the distribution or certain internal transactions undertaken relating to the spin-off do not qualify as tax-free transactions, the Company, its Share Owners as of the distribution date, and Kimball Electronics could be subject to substantial tax liabilities. On October 10, 2014 the Company received a favorable written tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that the Company’s stock unification in connection with the spin-off will not cause the Company to recognize income or gain as a result of the unification. In addition, the Company has also received an opinion of Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP to the effect that the distribution satisfies the requirements to qualify as a tax-free transaction (except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares) for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the Company, the Company’s Share Owners and Kimball Electronics under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The tax ruling and the tax opinion rely on the accuracy of certain factual representations and assumptions provided by the Company and Kimball Electronics in connection with obtaining the tax ruling and tax opinion, including with respect to post-spin-off operations and conduct of the parties. If these factual representations and assumptions are inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, we will not be able to rely on the tax ruling and/or the tax opinion.
Furthermore, the tax opinion will not be binding on the IRS or the courts. Accordingly, the IRS or the courts may reach conclusions with respect to the spin-off that are different from the conclusions reached in the tax opinion. If, notwithstanding our receipt of the tax opinion, the spin-off is determined to be taxable, then (i) the Company would be subject to tax as if it sold the Kimball Electronics common stock in a taxable sale for its fair market value; and (ii) each Share Owner who received Kimball Electronics common stock would be treated as receiving a distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Kimball Electronics common stock that would generally result in varied tax liabilities for each Share Owner depending on the facts and circumstances.
Even if the spin-off does qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution will be taxable to the Company (but not to the Company’s Share Owners) pursuant to Section 355(e) of the Code if there are one or more acquisitions (including issuances) of the stock of either the Company or Kimball Electronics, representing 50% or more, measured by vote or value, of the then-outstanding stock of either the Company or Kimball Electronics and the acquisition or acquisitions are deemed to be part of a plan or series of related transactions that include the distribution. Any acquisition2.2% of our common stock within two years before or after the distribution (with exceptions, including public trading by less-than-5% Share Owners and certain compensatory stock issuances) generally will be presumed to be part of such a plan unless that presumption is rebutted. The resulting tax liability may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with Kimball Electronics that governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of us and Kimball Electronics after the spin-off with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other tax sharing regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, other tax matters and related tax returns. The Tax Matters Agreement also provides special rules for allocating tax liabilities in the event that the spin-off or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-off do not qualify as tax-free transactions. Though valid as between us and Kimball Electronics, the Tax Matters Agreement will not be binding on the IRS.


Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement, (i) we have agreed (a) not to enter into any transaction that could cause any portion of the spin-off to be taxable to Kimball Electronics, including under Section 355(e) of the Code; (b) to indemnify Kimball Electronics for any tax liabilities resulting from such transactions entered into by us; and (ii) Kimball Electronics has agreed to indemnify us for any tax liabilities resulting from such transactions entered into by Kimball Electronics. In addition, under U.S. Treasury regulations, each member of the Company’s consolidated group at the time of the spin-off (including Kimball Electronics) would be jointly and severally liable for the resulting U.S. federal income tax liability if all or a portion of the spin-off does not or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-off do not qualify as tax-free transactions. These obligations may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company.
If Kimball Electronics were to default in its obligation to us to pay taxes under the Tax Matters Agreement, we could be legally liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments. Accordingly, under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of our agreed-upon share of tax liabilities. To the extent we are responsible for any liability under the Tax Matters Agreement, there could be a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results or operations and cash flows.
Uncertain macroeconomic and industry conditions could adversely impact demand for our products and adversely affect operating results. Market demand for our products, which impacts revenues and gross profit, is influenced by a variety of economic and industry factors such as:
weakness in the global financial markets;
volatility and the cyclical nature of worldwide economic conditions;
uncertainty of the United Kingdom’s future relationship with the European Union (“E.U.”) as a result of a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the E.U., commonly referred to as “Brexit”;
global consumer confidence;
general corporate profitability of the end markets to which we sell;
credit availability to the end markets to which we sell;
white-collar unemployment rates;
commercial property vacancy rates;
new office construction and refurbishment rates;
deficit status of many governmental entities which may result in declining purchases of office furniture; and
new hotel and casino construction and refurbishment rates.
We must make decisions based on order volumes in order to achieve efficiency in manufacturing capacities.  These decisions include determining what level of additional business to accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, and personnel requirements, among various other considerations. We must constantly monitor the changing economic landscape and may modify our strategic direction based upon the changing business environment. If we do not react quickly enough to the changes in market or economic conditions, it could result in lost customers, decreased market share, and increased operating costs.
We may be exposed to the credit risk of our customers who are adversely affected by weakness in market conditions. Weakness in market conditions may drive an elevated risk of potential bankruptcy of our customers resulting in a greater risk of uncollectible outstanding accounts receivable. Accordingly, we closely monitor our receivables and related credit risks. The realization of these risks could have a negative impact on our profitability.
Reduction of purchases by or the loss of a significant number of customers could reduce revenues and profitability. Significant declines in the level of purchases by customers or the loss of a significant number of customers could have a material adverse effect on our business. A reduction of government spending could also have an adverse impact on our sales levels. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to fully replace any lost sales, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
We operate in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to compete successfully. The office and hospitality furniture industries are competitive due to numerous global manufacturers competing in the marketplace. In times of reduced demand for office furniture, large competitors may apply more pressure to their aligned distribution to sell their products exclusively which could lead to reduced opportunities for our products. While we work toward reducing costs to respond to pricing pressures, if we cannot achieve the proportionate reductions in costs, profit margins may suffer.
We may be unable to purchase a sufficient amount of materials, parts, and components for use in our products at a competitive price, in a timely manner, or at all. We depend on suppliers globally to provide timely delivery of materials, parts, and components for use in our products. We monitor the financial stability of suppliers when feasible as the loss of a significant supplier could have an adverse impact on our operations. Certain finished products and components we purchase are primarily manufactured in select regions of the world and issues in those regions could cause manufacturing delays. In addition, delays can occur related to the transport of products and components via container ships, which load and unload


through various U.S. ports which sometimes experience congestion. Price increases of commodity components could have an adverse impact on our profitability if we cannot offset such increases with other cost reductions or by price increases to customers. Materials we utilize are generally available, but future availability is unknown and could impact our ability to meet customer order requirements. If suppliers fail to meet commitments to us in terms of price, delivery, or quality, it could interrupt our operations and negatively impact our ability to meet commitments to customers.
Our operating results could be adversely affected by increases in the cost of fuel and other energy sources. The cost of energy is a critical component of freight expense and the cost of operating manufacturing facilities. Increases in the cost of energy could reduce our profitability.
We are subject to manufacturing inefficiencies due to the transfer of production among our facilities and other factors. At times we may experience labor or other manufacturing inefficiencies due to factors such as new product introductions, transfers of production among our manufacturing facilities, a sudden decline in sales, a new operating system, or turnover in personnel. Manufacturing inefficiencies could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
A change in our sales mix among various products could have a negative impact on our gross profit margin. Changes in product sales mix could negatively impact our gross margin as margins of different products vary. We strive to improve the margins of all products, but certain products have lower margins in order to price the product competitively. An increase in the proportion of sales of products with lower margins could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our restructuring efforts may not be successful. We continually evaluate our manufacturing capabilities and capacities in relation to current and anticipated market conditions. A critical component of our restructuring initiatives is the transfer of production among facilities which may result in some manufacturing inefficiencies and excess working capital during the transition period. The successful execution of restructuring initiatives is dependent on various factors and may not be accomplished as quickly or effectively as anticipated.sales.
We may pursue acquisitions that present risks and may not be successful. Our sales growth plans may occur through both organic growth and acquisitions. Acquisitions involve many risks that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including:
difficulties in identifying suitable acquisition candidates and in negotiating and consummating acquisitions on terms attractive to us;
difficulties in the assimilation of the operations of the acquired company;
the diversion of resources, including diverting management’s attention from our current operations;
risks of entering new geographic or product markets in which we have limited or no direct prior experience;
the potential loss of key customers of the acquired company;
the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company;
the potential incurrence of indebtedness to fund the acquisition;
the potential issuance of common stock for some or all of the purchase price, which could dilute ownership interests of our current Share Owners;shareowners;
the acquired business not achieving anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flow, or market share;
excess capacity;
failure to achieve the assumptionexpected synergies resulting from the acquisition;
inaccurate assessment of undisclosed, liabilities;contingent, or other liabilities or problems and unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition;
incorrect estimates made in accounting for acquisitions, incurrence of non-recurring charges, and write-off of significant amounts of goodwill that could adversely affect our financial results; and
dilution of earnings.
We may not be successful in launching start-up operations. We are committed to growing our business, and therefore from time to time, we may determine that it would be in our best interests to start up a new operation. Start-up operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties, such as funding the capital expenditures related to the start-up operation, developing a management team for the new operation, diversion of management focus away from current operations, and creation of excess capacity. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 
Our business depends on information technology systems and digital capabilities which are implemented in a manner intended to minimize the risk of a cybersecurity breach or other such threat, including the misappropriation of assets or other sensitive information, or data corruption which could cause operational disruption. An ongoing commitment of significant resources is required to maintain and enhance existing information systems and implement the new and emerging technology necessary to meet customer expectations and compete in our markets. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access change frequently and are not often recognized until after they have been launched. We recognize that any breach could disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, erode our share value, drive remediation expenses, or increase costs related to the mitigation of, response to, or litigation arising from any such issue. We cannot guarantee that our cybersecurity measures will completely prevent others from obtaining unauthorized access to our enterprise network, system and data.
Many states and the U.S. federal government are increasingly enacting laws and regulations to protect consumers against identity theft and to also protect their privacy. As our business expands globally, we are subject to data privacy and other similar laws in various foreign jurisdictions. If we are the target of a cybersecurity attack resulting in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential data, we may be required to execute costly notification procedures. Compliance with these laws will likely increase the costs of doing business. If we fail to implement appropriate safeguards or to detect and provide prompt notice of unauthorized access as required by some of these laws, we could be subject to potential claims for damages and other remedies, which could harm our business.


If the distribution or certain internal transactions undertaken relating to the spin-off do not qualify as tax-free transactions, the Company, our shareowners as of the Distribution Date, and Kimball Electronics could be subject to substantial tax liabilities. On October 10, 2014 we received a favorable written tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that our stock unification in connection with the spin-off will not cause us to recognize income or gain as a result of the unification. In addition, we have also received an opinion of Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP to the effect that the distribution satisfies the requirements to qualify as a tax-free transaction (except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares) for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the Company, our shareowners and Kimball Electronics under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The tax ruling and the tax opinion rely on the accuracy of certain factual representations and assumptions provided by the Company and Kimball Electronics in connection with obtaining the tax ruling and tax opinion, including with respect to post-spin-off operations and conduct of the parties.

We may be exposed to the credit risk of our customers who are adversely affected by weakness in market conditions. Weakness in market conditions may drive an elevated risk of potential bankruptcy of our customers resulting in a greater risk of uncollectible outstanding accounts receivable. The realization of these risks could have a negative impact on our profitability.
Reduction of purchases by or the loss of a significant number of customers could reduce revenues and profitability. Significant declines in the level of purchases by customers or the loss of a significant number of customers could have a material adverse effect on our business. A reduction of, or uncertainty surrounding, government spending could also have an adverse impact on our sales levels. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to fully replace any lost sales, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
We operate in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to compete successfully. The office and hospitality furniture industries are competitive due to numerous global manufacturers competing in the marketplace. In times of reduced demand for office furniture, large competitors may have greater efficiencies of scale or may apply more pressure to their aligned distribution to sell their products exclusively which could lead to reduced opportunities for our products. While we work toward reducing costs to respond to pricing pressures, if we cannot achieve the proportionate reductions in costs, profit margins may suffer.


Our operating results could be adversely affected by increases in the cost of fuel and other energy sources. The cost of energy is a critical component of freight expense and the cost of operating manufacturing facilities. Increases in the cost of energy could reduce our profitability.
We are subject to manufacturing inefficiencies due to the transfer of production among our facilities and other factors. At times we may experience labor or other manufacturing inefficiencies due to factors such as new product introductions, transfers of production among our manufacturing facilities, a sudden decline in sales, a new operating system, or turnover in personnel. Manufacturing inefficiencies could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
A change in our sales mix among our diversified product offerings could have a negative impact on our gross profit margin. Changes in product sales mix could negatively impact our gross margin as margins of different products vary. We strive to improve the margins of all products, but certain products have lower margins in order to price the product competitively. An increase in the proportion of sales of products with lower margins could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our international operations involve financial and operational risks. We have a manufacturing operation outside the United States in Mexico, and administrative offices in China and Vietnam which coordinate with suppliers in those countries. These international operations are subject to a number of risks, including the following:
economic and political instability;
warfare, riots, terrorism, and other forms of violence or geopolitical disruption;
compliance with laws, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, applicable to U.S. companies doing business outside the United States;
changes in foreign regulatory requirements and laws;
tariffs and other trade barriers;
potentially adverse tax consequences including the manner in which multinational companies are taxed in the U.S.; and
foreign labor practices.
These risks could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates could impact our operating results. Our risk management strategy can include the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Any hedging techniques we implement contain risks and may not be entirely effective. Exchange rate fluctuations could also make our products more expensive than competitor's products not subject to these fluctuations, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability in international markets.
If efforts to introduce new products or start-up new programs are not successful, this could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline. We regularly introduce new products to keep pace with workplace trends and evolving regulatory and industry requirements, including environmental, health, and safety standards such as sustainability and ergonomic considerations, and similar standards for the workplace and for product performance. Shifts in workforce demographics, working styles, and technology may impact the quantity and types of office furniture products purchased by our customers as commercial office spaces occupy smaller footprints and more collaborative, open-plan workstations gain popularity. The introduction of new products requiresor start-up of new programs require the coordination of the design, manufacturing, and marketing of such products. The design and engineering required for certain new products or programs can take an extended period of time, and further time may be required to achieve customer acceptance. Accordingly, the launch of any particular product or program may be delayed or may be less successful than we originally anticipated. Difficulties or delays in introducing new products or programs, or lack of customer acceptance of new products or programs could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline.
If customers do not perceive our products and services to be innovative and of high quality, our brand and name recognition and reputation could suffer. We believe that establishing and maintaining good brand and name recognition and a good reputation is critical to our business. Promotion and enhancement of our name and brands will depend on the


effectiveness of marketing and advertising efforts and on successfully providing design driven, innovative, and high quality products and superior services. If customers do not perceive our products and services to be design driven, innovative, and of high quality, our reputation, brand and name recognition could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
A loss of independent manufacturingsales representatives, dealers, or other sales channels could lead to a decline in sales. Our office furniture is marketed primarily through Company salespersons to end users through both independent and employee sales representatives, office furniture dealers, wholesalers, rentalbrokers, designers, purchasing companies, and catalog houses. Our hospitality furniture is marketed to end users using independent manufacturingsales representatives. A significant loss within any of these sales channels could result in a sales decline and thus have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


Failure to effectively manage working capital may adversely affect our cash flow from operations. We closely monitor inventory and receivable efficiencies and continuously strive to improve these measures of working capital, but customer financial difficulties, cancellation or delay of customer orders, transfers of production among our manufacturing facilities, or manufacturing delays could adversely affect our cash flow from operations.
We may not be able to achieve maximum utilization of our manufacturing capacity. Fluctuations and deferrals of customer orders may have a material adverse effect on our ability to utilize our fixed capacity and thus negatively impact our operating margins.
We could incur losses due to asset impairment. As business conditions change, we must continually evaluate and work toward the optimum asset base. It is possible that certain assets such as, but not limited to, facilities, equipment, goodwill, or other intangible assets, could be impaired at some point in the future depending on changing business conditions. Goodwill and certain intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or when triggering events occur. Such resulting impairment could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Fluctuations in our effective tax rate could have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, mainly in the United States. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes, other tax liabilities, interest, and penalties. Future events could change management’s assessment. We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. We have also made assumptions about the realization of deferred tax assets. Changes in these assumptions could result in a valuation allowance for these assets. Final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is currently reflected by our income tax provisions and accruals.
A failure to comply with the financial covenants under the Company’sour $30 million credit facility could adversely impact the Company.us. Our credit facility requires the Companyus to comply with certain financial covenants. We believe the most significant covenants under this credit facility are the adjusted leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. More detail on these financial covenants is discussed in Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2016,2018, we had no borrowings under this credit facility and we had $1.4 million in letters of credit outstanding which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. At June 30, 2016,2018, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $47.6$87.3 million. In the future, a default on the financial covenants under our credit facility could cause an increase in the borrowing rates or could make it more difficult for us to secure future financing which could adversely affect the financial condition of the Company.
Our business depends on effective information technology systems which also are intended to minimize the risk of a security breach or cybersecurity threat, including the misappropriation of assets or other sensitive information, or data corruption which could cause operational disruption.  Information systems require an ongoing commitment of significant resources to maintain and enhance existing systems and develop new systems in order to keep pace with changes in information processing technology and evolving industry standards.  We cannot guarantee that our security measures will effectively prevent others from obtaining unauthorized access to our information and our customers’ information. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and are not often recognized until after they have been launched.  Any breach of information technology systems could disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, or increase costs related to the mitigation of, response to, or litigation arising from any such issue. 
Additionally, states and the federal government are increasingly enacting laws and regulations to protect consumers against identity theft. Also, as our business expands globally, we are subject to data privacy and other similar laws in various foreign jurisdictions. If we are the target of a cybersecurity attack resulting in unauthorized disclosure of our customer data, we may be required to undertake costly notification procedures. Compliance with these laws will likely increase the costs of doing business. If we fail to implement appropriate safeguards or to detect and provide prompt notice of unauthorized access as required by some of these laws, we could be subject to potential claims for damages and other remedies, which could harm our business. 


Failure to protect our intellectual property could undermine our competitive position. We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights, both in the United States and in foreign countries, through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements and third-party non-disclosure and assignment agreements. Because of the differences in foreign laws concerning proprietary rights, our intellectual property rights do not generally receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as they do in the United States, and therefore in some parts of the world, we have limited protections, if any, for our intellectual property. Competing effectively depends, to a significant extent, on maintaining the proprietary nature of our intellectual property. The degree of protection offered by our various patents and trademarks may not be broad enough to provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company, and patents or trademarks may not be issued on pending or contemplated applications. In addition, not all of our products are covered by patents. It is also possible that our patents and trademarks may be challenged, invalidated, canceled, narrowed, or circumvented.
We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their intellectual property rights and incur substantial litigation or other costs. We could be notified of a claim regarding intellectual property rights which could lead us to spend time and money to defend or address the claim. Even if the claim is without merit, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
Our insurance may not adequately protect us from liabilities related to product defects. We maintain product liability and other insurance coverage that we believe to be generally in accordance with industry practices, but our insurance coverage does not extend to field visits to repair, retrofit or replace defective products, or to product recalls. As a result, our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us fully against substantial claims and costs that may arise from liabilities related to product defects, particularly if we have a large number of defective products that we must repair, retrofit, replace, or recall.
Increases in the cost of providing employee healthcare benefits have reduced and may continue tocould reduce our profitability. There may continue to be upward pressure on the cost of providing healthcare benefits to our employees. We are self-insured for healthcare benefits so Kimball incurswe incur the cost of claims, including catastrophic claims that may occasionally occur, with employees bearing only a limited portion of healthcare costs through employee healthcare premium withholdings. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in limiting cost increases, and continued upward pressure could reduce our profitability.
We are subject to extensive environmental regulation and significant potential environmental liabilities. Our past and present operation and ownership of manufacturing plants and real property are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to discharges in air, water, and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances. In addition, the increased prevalence of global climate issues may result in new regulations that may negatively impact us. We cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted or what environmental conditions may be found to exist with respect to our


facilities and real property. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may require additional expenditures, some of which could be material. In addition, any investigations or remedial efforts relating to environmental matters could involve material costs or otherwise result in material liabilities.
Our failure to retain the existing management team, maintain our engineering, technical, and manufacturing process expertise, or continue to attract qualified personnel could adversely affect our business. We depend significantly on our executive officers and other key personnel. Our success is also dependent on keeping pace with technological advancements and adapting services to provide manufacturing capabilities which meet customers’ changing needs. To do that, we must retain our qualified engineering and technical personnel and successfully anticipate and respond to technological changes in a cost effective and timely manner. Our culture and guiding principles focus on continuous training, motivating, and development of employees, and we strive to attract, motivate, and retain qualified personnel. Failure to retain our executive officers and retain and attract other key personnel could adversely affect our business.
Turnover in personnel could cause manufacturing inefficiencies. The demand for manufacturing labor in certain geographic areas makes retaining experienced production employees difficult. Turnover could result in lost time due to inefficiencies and additional training and inefficiencies that could impact our operating results.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may impact our production schedules and, in turn, negatively impact profitability. Natural disasters or other catastrophic events, including severe weather, terrorist attacks, power interruptions, and fires, could disrupt operations and likewise our ability to produce or deliver products. Our manufacturing operations require significant amounts of energy, including natural gas and oil, and governmental regulations may control the allocation of such fuels. Employees are an integral part of our business and events such as a pandemic could reduce the availability of employees reporting for work. In the event we experience a temporary or permanent interruption in our ability to produce or


deliver product, revenues could be reduced, and our business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, catastrophic events, or the threat thereof, can adversely affect U.S. and world economies, and could result in delayed or lost sales of our products. In addition, any continuing disruption in our computer system could adversely affect the ability to receive and process customer orders, manufacture products, and ship products on a timely basis, and could adversely affect relations with our customers, potentially resulting in a reduction in orders from customers or loss of customers. We maintain insurance to help protect us from costs relating to some of these matters, but such insurance may not be sufficient or paid in a timely manner to us in the event of such an interruption.
Imposition of government regulations may significantly increase our operating costs in the United States and abroad. Legislative and regulatory reforms by the U.S. federal and foreign governments could significantly impact our profitability by burdening us with forced cost choices that cannot be recovered by increased pricing. For example:
We import a portion of our wooden furniture products and are thus subject to an antidumping tariff on wooden bedroom furniture supplied from China. The tariffs are subject to review and could result in retroactive and prospective tariff rate increases which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Foreign regulations are increasing in many areas such as data privacy, hazardous waste disposal, labor relations and employment practices. Compliance with these regulations could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to “Conflict Minerals” may increase our costs and reduce our sales levels. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains provisions to improve transparency and accountability concerning the supply of certain minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) and adjoining countries that are believed to benefit armed groups. As a result, the SEC has adopted due diligence, disclosure, and reporting requirements for companies which manufacture products that include components containing such minerals, regardless of whether the minerals are actually mined in the DRC or adjoining countries. We have determined that certain of our products contain such specified minerals, and we have developed a process to comply with the SEC regulations. Such regulations could decrease the availability and increase the prices of components used in our products, particularly if we choose (or are required by our customers) to source such components from different suppliers than we use now. In addition, as our supply chain is complex and the process to comply with the SEC rules is cumbersome, the ongoing compliance process is both time-consuming and costly. We may face reduced sales if we are unable to timely verify the origins of minerals contained in the components included in our products.
The value of our common stock may experience substantial fluctuations for reasons over which we may have little control. The value of our common stock could fluctuate substantially based on a variety of factors, including, among others:
actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results;
announcements concerning our Company, competitors, or industry;
overall volatility of the stock market;
changes in the financial estimates of securities analysts or investors regarding our Company, the industry, or competitors; and
general market or economic conditions.conditions; and
proxy contests or other shareowner activism.
We also provide financial targets for our expected operating results for future periods. While the information is provided based on current and projected data about the markets we deliver to and our operational capacity and capabilities, the financial targets are subject to risks and uncertainties. If our future results do not match our financial targets for a particular period, or if the financial targets are reduced in future periods, the value of our common stock could decline.
Furthermore, stock prices for many companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. These fluctuations, coupled with changes in results of operations and general economic, political, and market conditions, may adversely affect the value of our Company’s common stock.

During fiscal year 2016, production2017, a facility in Indiana which housed an education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom was transferred from our Idahosold. We leased a portion of the facility back to facilitate the transition of those functions to other existing Indiana facilitieslocations. The lease expired in fiscal year 2018.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we acquired certain assets of D’style, headquartered in Chula Vista, California, and all of the Idaho facilitycapital stock of Diseños de Estilo S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation located in Tijuana, Mexico, which resulted in our acquisition of 27,000 square feet and land was classified as held for sale at June 30, 2016.

Generally, properties are utilized at normal capacity levels on a multiple shift basis. At times, certain facilities utilize a reduced second or third shift. Due to sales fluctuations, not all facilities were utilized at normal capacity during fiscal year 2016.2018. We continually assess our capacity needs and evaluate our operations to optimize our service levels by geographic region.

Performance Graphs
The following performance graphs are not deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C under the Exchange Act or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate them by reference into such a filing.
The first graph below compares the cumulative total return to Share Ownersshareowners of our common stock from June 30, 20112013 through June 30, 20162018, the last business day in the respective fiscal years, to the cumulative total return of the NASDAQNasdaq Stock Market (U.S. and Foreign) and a peer group index for the same period of time.
The spin-off of Kimball Electronics is reflected as an increase in the total cumulative return to Share Ownersshareowners as a result of each Share Ownershareowner receiving a distribution of three shares of Kimball Electronics for every four shares of the Company. The increase in the total cumulative return was calculated based on the value of Kimball Electronics stock, using a 30-day volume weighted average price calculation to eliminate the impact of stock price volatility immediately after the October 31, 2014 spin-off date.
Due to the diversity of our operations prior to the spin-off date, we are not aware of any public companies that are directly comparable. Therefore, the peer group index is comprised of publicly traded companies in both the furniture industry and in our former EMS segment, as follows:
Furniture peers:  HNI Corporation, Knoll, Inc., Steelcase Inc., Herman Miller, Inc.
EMS peers (applicable through the October 31, 2014 spin-off):  Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Jabil, Circuit, Inc., Plexus Corp.
In order to reflect the segment allocation of Kimball International Inc. prior to the October 31, 2014 spin-off date, a market capitalization-weighted index was first computed for each peer group, then a composite peer group index was calculated based on each segment’s proportion of net sales to total consolidated sales for fiscal years 2011 throughyear 2014 and for fiscal year 2015 through the October 31, 2014 spin-off date. After the spin-off date, only the Furniture peer companies were used in the capitalization-weighted peer group index. The public companies included in the peer groups have a larger revenue base than our furniture business and our former EMS business.


The graph assumes $100 is invested in our common stock and each of the two indexes at the closing market quotations on June 30, 20112013 and that dividends and the Kimball Electronics spin-off stock distribution are reinvested in Kimball International, Inc.International. The performances shown on the graph are not necessarily indicative of future price performance.

The spin-off of Kimball Electronics, which represented more than half of our Company in sales and the majority of earnings, makes comparable long-term stock price performance very difficult. Publicly available stock price analyses, such as three and five-year stock price trends, are not representative of our performance as stock prices in the pre-spin period are not comparable to stock prices in the post-spin period. To aid in trending our performance, below is a cumulative total return performance graph from the spin-off date forward.

On October 31, 2014, we completed the spin-off of our EMS segment. The EMS segment was reclassified to discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. Discontinued operations did not have an impact on the financial results of fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016. The preceding table excludes all income statement activity of the discontinued operations. The balance sheet data in the preceding table includes the EMS segment for fiscal years prior to 2015.
Fiscal year 2017 income from continuing operations included $1.1 million ($0.03 per diluted share) of after-tax restructuring gains driven by the sale of the Idaho facility.
Fiscal year 2016 income from continuing operations included $4.5 million ($0.12 per diluted share) of after-tax restructuring expenses.
Fiscal year 2015 income from continuing operations included $3.2 million ($0.08 per diluted share) of after-tax restructuring expenses and $3.2 million ($0.08 per diluted share) of after-tax expense related to the spin-off.
Fiscal year 2014 income from continuing operations included an after-tax gain of $1.1 million ($0.03 per diluted share) for the sale of an idle Furniture segment manufacturing facility and land located in Jasper, Indiana, after-tax impairment of $0.7 million ($0.02 per diluted share) for an aircraft which was subsequently sold, and $1.4 million ($0.04 per diluted share) of after-tax expense related to the spin-off.


Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Business Overview
Kimball International, Inc. (the “Company,” “Kimball International,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) creates design driven, innovative furnishings sold through our family of brands: Kimball, Office, National, Office Furniture, and Kimball Hospitality. Our diverse portfolio offers solutions for the workplace, learning, healing, and hospitality environments. Dedicated to our Guiding Principles, ourOur values and integrity are evidenceddemonstrated daily by public recognitionliving our Guiding Principles and creating a culture of caring, that establishes us as a highly trusted company and an employer of choice. “We Build Success” by establishing long-term relationships with customers, employees, suppliers, share ownersshareowners and the communities in which we operate.
We closely monitor key indicators for the markets in which we compete. In relation to the office furniture industry,As reported by the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer Association (“BIFMA”), the forecast (byby IHS as of February 2016)April 2018 for the U.S. commercial furniture market, which they define as including office, education, and healthcare furniture products, projects a year-over-year increase of 3.9%1.9% for calendar year 20162018 and 7.2%3.6% for calendar year 2017.2019. The forecast for two of the leading indicators for the hospitality furniture market (May 20162018 PwC Hospitality Directions U.S. report) includeincludes a projected increase in RevPAR (Revenue Per Available


Room) of 4.6%3.0% for calendar year 20162018 and 3.7%2.8% for calendar year 2017, with no change in2019, while the occupancy rates forecastedlevels for calendar year 20162018 and a decline of less than 1% forecasted for calendar year 2017, as occupancy levels are stabilizing2019 continue to hover at peak levels.
We expect to continue to invest in capital expenditures prudently, particularly for projects, including potential acquisitions, that would enhance our capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability. We have a strong focus on cost control and closely monitor market changes and our liquidity in order to proactively adjust our operating costs, discretionary capital spending, and dividend levels as needed. Managing working capital in conjunction with fluctuating demand levels is likewise key. In addition, a long-standing component of our profit sharing incentive bonus plan is that it is linked to our worldwide and business unit performance which is designed to adjust compensation expense as profits change.
We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet. Our short-term liquidity available, represented as cash and cash equivalents plus the unused amount of our credit facility, was $76.2 million at June 30, 2016.
In addition to the above discussion, managementManagement currently considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding our financial condition and operating performance:
On November 6, 2017, we successfully completed the acquisition of certain assets of D’style, Inc. (“D’style”) and all of the capital stock of Diseños de Estilo S.A. de C.V., which have administrative and sales offices and warehousing in Chula Vista, California and a manufacturing location in Tijuana, Mexico. The acquisition expands our hospitality offerings beyond guest rooms to public spaces and provides new mixed material manufacturing capabilities. The cash paid for the acquisition totaled $18.2 million, inclusive of a $0.4 million post-closing working capital adjustment. An earn-out of up to $2.2 million may be paid, which is contingent based upon fiscal year 2018 and 2019 D’style operating income compared to a predetermined target for each fiscal year. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of the earn-out was $1.1 million. See Note 2 - Acquisition of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act reduced federal corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018 and changed numerous other provisions. Because Kimball International has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal tax rate of 28.1% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The statutory federal tax rate will be 21% in subsequent fiscal years. Our fiscal year 2018 included approximately $3.3 million in reduced income tax expense reflecting federal taxes on current year taxable income at the lower blended effective tax rate, partially offset by a fiscal year 2018 discrete tax impact of $1.8 million in additional expense as a result of applying the new lower federal income tax rates to our net tax assets. The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex. The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued rules that would allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. We have finalized and recorded the related tax impacts as of June 30, 2018. We expect the lower statutory tax rate to generate significantly lower tax expense in future periods, which will be partially offset by the loss of the deductibility of certain expenses.
The impact of higher transportation and commodity prices is expected to intensify as pricing pressure from our vendors increases. We utilize both steel and aluminum in our products, most of which is sourced domestically. The U.S. recently imposed tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum imported from several countries which could adversely impact our input costs. The government has also recently proposed to expand its list of products subject to tariffs to include furniture products, parts, and components, and if approved, the landed cost of our products could increase materially, which would reduce our net income if we are unable to mitigate the additional cost. We are monitoring this situation, but at this time we are uncertain of the potential impact that these tariffs may have on our results of operations. We strive to offset increases in the cost of these materials through supplier negotiations, global sourcing initiatives, product re-engineering and parts standardization, and price increases on our products. We are also exposed to fluctuation in transportation costs which vary based upon freight carrier capacity and fuel prices. Transportation costs are managed by optimizing logistics and supply chain planning, and increasing prices on our products is sometimes necessary. Our National brand recently implemented a price increase that was effective on April 6, 2018, while our Kimball brand announced a price increase effective on July 2, 2018.
On May 7, 2018, Robert F. Schneider informed the Board of Directors of Kimball International of his decision to retire as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Schneider plans to retire effective October 31, 2018. The Board of Directors created a Continuity Committee to facilitate the appointment of a new CEO.
During the latter portion of our fiscal year 2017, we sold a facility in Indiana which housed the education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom for proceeds of $3.8 million. We leased a portion of the facility through December 2017 to facilitate the short-term transition of those functions to other existing Indiana locations. The sale of the facility did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting during fiscal year 2017, and thus the $1.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale was not recognized in selling and administrative expenses until fiscal year 2018.
The U.S. government, as well as state and local governments, can typically terminate or modify their contracts with us either at their discretion or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract, which could expose us to liability and impede our ability to compete in the future for contracts and orders. The failure to comply with regulatory and contractual requirements could subject us to investigations, fines, or other penalties, and violations of certain regulatory and contractual requirements could also result in us being suspended or debarred from future government contracting. In March 2016, in connection with a renewal of one of our two contracts with the GSA,General Services Administration (“GSA”), we became aware of noncompliance and inaccuracies in our GSA subcontractor reporting. Accordingly, we retained outside legal counsel to assist in conducting an internal review of our reporting practices, and we self-reported the matter and the results of the internal review to the GSA. We have promptly responded to


inquiries from the GSA since our initial reporting, have met with government officials as requested on two occasions, and we intend to cooperate fully with any further inquiries or investigations. We cannot reasonably predict the outcome of a government investigation at this time. During fiscal year 2016,2018, sales related to our GSA contracts were approximately 8.9%7.5% of total Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales, with one contract accounting for approximately 5.0%5.3% of total Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales and the other contract accounting for approximately 3.9%2.2% of Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales.
Successful execution of the Company’s restructuring plan is critical to the Company’s future performance. A critical component of the restructuring initiatives was the transfer of production among facilities which has and may continue to result in some manufacturing inefficiencies and excess working capital during the transition period. The Company’s restructuring plan is discussed below.
We continue to focus on mitigating the impact of select raw material commodity pricing pressures.
Due to the contract and project nature of the furniture markets, fluctuation in the demand for our products and variation in the gross margin on those projects is inherent to our business.business which in turn impacts our operating results. Effective management of our manufacturing capacity is and will continue to be critical to our success. See below for further details regarding current sales and open order trends.
We expect to continue to see volatilityinvest in order rates in both the hospitalitycapital expenditures prudently, including potential acquisitions, that would enhance our capabilities and office furniture markets which in turn can impactdiversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability.
We have a strong focus on cost control and closely monitor market changes and our operating results.
Globalization continues to reshape not only the markets in which we operate but also our key customers and competitors. In addition, demand for shorter lead times on a portion of our hospitality orders allows us to utilize available


manufacturing capacity in the U.S., and we have reduced lead times with the remainder of our supply baseliquidity in order to achieveproactively adjust our customers’ requests. We also continually evaluate the optimal locationoperating costs, discretionary capital spending, and dividend levels as needed. Managing working capital in conjunction with fluctuating demand levels is likewise key. In addition, a long-standing component of production facilities and suppliers, particularly for hospitality furniture, in order to provide productsour Annual Cash Incentive plan is that it is linked to our customers most efficientlyCompany-wide and atbusiness unit performance which is designed to adjust compensation expense as profits change.
We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet. Our short-term liquidity available, represented as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments plus the lowest cost.
Current global economic uncertainties including the uncertainty of the United Kingdom’s future relationship with the European Union, distressed oil prices, and volatility in financial markets may pose a threat to our future growth if companies reduce capital spending in response to the sustained volatility and uncertainty.
Employees throughout our business operations are an integral partunused amount of our ability to compete successfully, and the stability of the management team is critical to long-term Share Owner value. Our career development and succession planning processes help to maintain stability in management.credit facility, was $115.9 million at June 30, 2018.
Spin-Off of Kimball Electronics reported as Discontinued Operations
On October 31, 2014 (“Distribution Date”), we completed the spin-off of our Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) segment by distributing the related shares of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (“Kimball Electronics”), on a pro rata basis, to the Company’s Share Owners of record as of October 22, 2014. After the Distribution Date, the Company no longer beneficially owns any Kimball Electronics shares and Kimball Electronics is an independent publicly traded company.
The EMS business was reclassified to discontinued operations. Discontinued operations did not have an impact on the financial results of fiscal year 2016. Financial results of the discontinued operations for fiscal years 2015 and 2014 were as follows:
 Year Ended June 30
(Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)2015 2014
Net Sales of Discontinued Operations$275,551
 $741,530
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax$9,157
 $30,042
Income from Discontinued Operations per Class B Diluted Share$0.23
 $0.77
As a result of the October 30, 2014 stock unification as described in Note 10 - Common Stock of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, all distinctions between Class A common stock and Class B common stock were eliminated so that all shares of Class B common stock are equivalent to shares of Class A common stock with respect to all matters, including without limitation, dividend payments and voting rights. Therefore, beginning in fiscal year 2016 the earnings per share calculation includes all common stock in a single calculation. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to earnings per share for periods prior to fiscal year 2016 reflects the earnings per Class B diluted share as has historically been reported.

Fiscal year 20162018 consolidated net sales were $635.1$685.6 million compared to fiscal year 20152017 net sales of $600.9$669.9 million, or a 5.7% increase. Increased volume across all verticals2% increase, as $13.0 million of net sales resulting from the D’style acquisition and to a lesser extent the positive impact of price increases drovenet of higher discounting more than offset decreased organic sales volume.
During fiscal year 2018 we redefined our vertical market reporting to better reflect the netend markets that we serve. The largest shifts among vertical markets were sales increase. to certain government-affiliated medical facilities, which were previously classified in the government and commercial vertical markets and are now classified in the healthcare vertical market. Prior period information was estimated to reflect the new vertical market definitions on a comparable basis.
Key explanatory comments for our sales by vertical market follow:
For fiscal year 2018 compared to fiscal year 2017, increased hospitality vertical market sales were driven by the acquisition of the D’style business and increases in organic non-custom business, which more than offset a sales decline in our custom business.
Government vertical market sales for fiscal year 2018 increased as state and local government sales increased while sales to the federal government decreased.


Our sales to the education vertical market increased due to our greater focus on this market, despite educational funding being diverted to safety and security products which negatively impacted the timing and size of furniture orders received.
Although sales in the healthcare vertical market sales benefited from strengthening relationships with purchasing organizations and product solutions specific to healthcare settings. Our education vertical market sales increased as we are more aggressively pursuing opportunities in this area. The government vertical market continued to show momentum as government sales steadily recover from recession levels. Our finance vertical market sales increase was the result of our investment in building product solutions applicable specifically to the needs of the changing workplace environment within financial institutions. The improvement in the hospitality vertical market, despite the unusually large custom order receiveddeclined in fiscal year 2015, was driven by2018 compared to fiscal year 2017, we have experienced a rebound in quoting activity which led to increased non-custom business. shipments and orders in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2018.
Each of our vertical market sales levels can fluctuate depending on the mix of projects in a given period.
Open orders at June 30, 20162018 increased 16%13% when compared to the open order level as of June 30, 2015 as demand2017 primarily due to higher hospitality furniture backlog driven by both the D’style acquisition and growth in organic hospitality orders. Excluding an approximate $2.0 million positive impact from a price increase for bothone of our brands which took effect on July 2, 2018 and accelerated orders into our fiscal year 2018, office furniture and hospitality furniture products remained strong.backlog as of June 30, 2018 was flat. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.


In fiscal year 20162018 we recorded net income from continuing operations of $21.2$34.4 million, or $0.56$0.92 per diluted share. In fiscal year 2017 we recorded net income of $37.5 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, inclusive of $4.5$1.1 million, or $0.12$0.03 per diluted share, of after-tax restructuring charges. In fiscal year 2015 we recorded incomegain from continuing operationsthe sale of $11.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, inclusive of $3.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, of after-tax restructuring charges, and $3.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, of after-tax external costs related to the spin-off of our EMS segment.Idaho facility. Excluding these non-core costs,the non-recurring gain, our adjusted net income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2016 improved to $25.72017 was $36.4 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to adjusted income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2015 of $17.6 million, or $0.45$0.96 per diluted share.

During fiscal year commission expenses related to2018 we recognized a $1.7 million pre-tax gain on the increased sales volumessale of an administrative building, and increased healthcare expense.in fiscal year 2017 we recognized $1.2 million of gains on the sale of land.
In November 2014, we approvedFiscal year 2017 included a capacity utilizationpre-tax restructuring plangain of $1.8 million which included a gain on the consolidationsale of our metal fabrication production and assembly operations from an operation located in Post Falls, Idaho into existing production facilities in Indiana,facility and the reductionland of our Company plane fleet from two jets to one. The jet was sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, and as a result of the aircraft fleet reduction, we began realizing the expected pre-tax annual savings of $0.8 million. The remaining jet is primarily used for transporting customers to visit our showrooms, offices, research and development center, and manufacturing locations. The consolidation of our metal fabrication production was substantially complete as of June 30, 2016, and we anticipate the improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and reduction of transportation costs to generate annual pre-tax savings of approximately $5$2.1 million with savings beginning to ramp up in our first quarter ending September 2016. We expect to achieve the full quarterly savings levelpartially offset by the end of our second quarter ending December 31, 2016. We recognized pre-tax restructuring expense related to continuing operations of $7.3 million in fiscal year 2016 and $5.3 million in fiscal year 2015.$0.3 million.

Our fiscal year 20162018 results of operations included the impact of the enactment of the Tax Act, which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduced federal corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018 and changed numerous other provisions. Because Kimball International has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal tax rate of 28.1% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The statutory federal tax rate will be 21% for subsequent fiscal years. Our fiscal year 2018 included approximately $3.3 million in reduced income tax expense to reflect federal taxes on current year taxable income at the lower blended effective tax rate, partially offset by a discrete tax impact of $1.8 million in additional expense as a result of applying the new lower federal income tax rates to our net tax assets.


Our fiscal year 2018 effective tax rate was 36.6% and did not include any material unusual items.34.2%, as the benefits of the Tax Act were partially offset by the negative tax impact of applying the lower federal income tax rates to our net deferred tax assets. Our fiscal year 20152018 effective tax rate also included a $0.6 million benefit resulting from a domestic manufacturing deduction. Our fiscal year 2017 effective tax rate was 37.0%, as35.4% and included the favorable impactbenefit of $1.5 million resulting from a $0.9 million net reduction in our unrecognized tax benefit driven bydomestic manufacturing deduction. The Tax Act repealed the expiration of statutes of limitations more than offset the $0.8 million unfavorable impact of nondeductible spin-off expensesdomestic manufacturing deduction; thus future fiscal years will not have this benefit.
The changes included in the U.S.Tax Act are broad and complex. The transition impacts of the Tax Act may differ from the above estimate, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, and any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act. The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued rules that would allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. Based on current interpretations, we have finalized our transition and recorded all resulting adjustments as of June 30, 2018.
Comparing the balance sheet as of June 30, 20162018 to June 30, 2015,2017, goodwill increased $8.8 million and intangible assets increased $9.7 million relating to the propertyacquisition of D’style. Our prepaid expenses and equipmentother current assets line decreasedincreased by $10.5 million primarily due to an overpayment of estimated income taxes for the fiscal year and also due to a shift in the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) balance from long term to short term in conjunction with the pending retirement of our Chief Executive Officer. Our deferred tax assets balance declined by $9.6 million as we accelerated the Post Falls facilitytiming of certain incentive compensation payments and land was classified as heldcapital expenditures in order for sale and is shown on the assets held for sale line of the balance sheet at June 30, 2016. Subsequentthem to June 30, 2016, we sold the Idaho facility and land which is explainedbe deductible in Note 21 - Subsequent Events of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.fiscal year 2018 before our statutory tax rate further decreases in fiscal year 2019.

Fiscal year 20152017 consolidated net sales were $600.9$669.9 million compared to fiscal year 20142016 net sales of $543.8$635.1 million, or a 10.5%5% increase. Increased sales withinvolume across five of our verticals was the commercial, hospitality, government, and healthcare vertical markets more than offset lower sales within the finance and education vertical markets. Increased volume and to a lesser extentprimary driver while the positive impact of price increases drovecontributed to a lesser extent.
During fiscal year 2018 we redefined our vertical market reporting to better reflect the end markets that we serve. The largest shifts among vertical markets were sales to certain government-affiliated medical facilities, which were previously classified in the government and commercial vertical markets and are now classified in the healthcare vertical market. The net sales increase. by vertical market was estimated for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 to reflect the new vertical market definitions on a comparable basis.
Key explanatory comments for our sales by vertical market follow:
Our education vertical market sales grew as we continued our focus on education products and distribution.
Our finance vertical market sales increase was driven by focus on strategic accounts and assisting financial institutions with refreshing their image and adding collaborative spaces.
Our sales in the government vertical market increased as we experienced improved order activity on awarded blanket purchase agreements and had success with larger projects relative to fiscal year 2016.
The hospitality vertical market sales improved over the prior year on strength in salesincrease was primarily driven by increased non-custom business.
Each of both custom and non-custom hospitality furniture. The sales increase in our commercial vertical market was broad based as business conditions were strong in both day-to-day and project business fueled in part by new product and marketing initiatives. The government vertical market continued to show momentum as government sales steadily recover from recession levels. The sales decline in the finance vertical market was due in part to the trend toward smaller footprint offices and lower cost products being selected. Vertical market sales levels can fluctuate depending on the mix of projects in a given year.
In fiscal year 2015 we recorded income from continuing operations of $11.1 million, or $0.29 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of $3.2 million, or $0.08 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax restructuring charges, and $3.2 million, or $0.08 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax external costs related to the spin-off of our EMS segment. In fiscal year 2014 we recorded income from continuing operations of $3.4 million, or $0.09 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax external costs related to the spin-off of our EMS segment. Excluding these non-core costs,


our adjusted income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2015 improved to $17.6 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to adjusted income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2014 of $4.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below.period.
Open orders at June 30, 20152017 increased 15%1% when compared to the open order level as of June 30, 20142016 as demand for both office furniture increased and hospitality furniture products remained strong.open orders declined slightly.
In fiscal year 2017 we recorded net income of $37.5 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, inclusive of a $1.1 million after-tax restructuring gain, or $0.03 per diluted share, from the sale of the Idaho facility. In fiscal year 2016 we recorded net income of $21.2 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, inclusive of $4.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, of after-tax restructuring expense. Excluding these non-recurring gains or expenses, our adjusted net income for fiscal year 2017 improved to $36.4 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income for fiscal year 2016 of $25.7 million, or $0.68 per diluted share. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Indicators” section below.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased 0.7 of a percentage point120 basis points in fiscal year 20152017 compared to fiscal year 2014.2016. The increase in gross profit as a percent of net salesimprovement was driven by the favorable impact of price increases, and the benefit of leverage gained on higher sales volumes. The aforementioned improvements werevolumes, and the benefits from our restructuring plan involving the transfer of metal fabrication production from Idaho into facilities in Indiana. Higher employee benefit costs in fiscal year 2017, retirement expense in particular, partially offset by higher product discounting and an unfavorable shift in sales mix to lower margin product.the aforementioned improvements.
As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses in fiscal year 20152017 compared to fiscal year 20142016 decreased 2.7 percentage50 basis points due to the increased sales volumes. In absolute dollars selling and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2015 comparedspending increased 3% primarily due to fiscal year 2014 increased 0.9%. Expenseshigher incentive compensation costs as a result of $3.2 million were incurred in fiscal year 2015 related to the spin-off of our EMS business, a majority of which were for legal services and asset impairment as compared to $1.5 million of spin-off related expenses in fiscal year 2014. In addition, higher sales and marketing expenses,earnings levels and higher commission expense related to the increased sales volumes contributed to the higher selling and administrative expenses. The year-over-year comparison wassalary expense. We also negatively impacted by a $1.7 million gain on the sale ofhad an idled manufacturing facility which occurred in fiscal year 2014. Partially offsetting the above, we had a year-over-year favorableunfavorable variance within selling and administrative expenses of $2.0$1.2 million for fiscal year 2017 compared to fiscal year 2016 related to the normal revaluation to fair value of our Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”)SERP liability. The impact from the change in the SERP liability that was recognized in selling and administrative expenses was offset with the change in fair value of the SERP investments which was recorded in Other Income (Expense), and thus there was no effect on income from continuing operations. Employee contributions comprise approximately 90% of the SERP investment. In addition,net income. During fiscal year 2015 incentive compensation costs declined compared to fiscal year 2014 due to the retirement of key executives as of the spin-off date. We2017 we also had a favorable year-over-year variance driven by arecognized $1.2 million impairment charge recorded in fiscalof gains on the sale of land.


Fiscal year 2014 related to2017 includes a pre-tax restructuring gain of $1.8 million which included a gain on the decision to downsize the plane fleet from three jets to two during fiscal year 2014.
sale of our Post Falls, Idaho facility and land of $2.1 million partially offset by restructuring expense of $0.3 million. We recognized pre-tax restructuring expense related to continuing operations of $5.3$7.3 million in fiscal year 20152016. The improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and recognized no restructuring expensereduction of transportation costs were expected to generate annual pre-tax savings of approximately $5 million per year, and we achieved savings of approximately $4.7 million in fiscal year 2014.2017 as savings began to ramp up during our first quarter. See Note 1817 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on restructuring.

Our fiscal year 20152017 effective tax rate was 37.0%,35.4% as the favorable impact ofhigher taxable income generated a $0.9$1.2 million net reduction in our unrecognized tax benefit driven by the expiration of statutes of limitations morehigher domestic manufacturing deduction than offset the $0.8 million unfavorable impact of nondeductible spin-off expenses in the U.S.fiscal year 2016. Our fiscal year 2016 effective tax rate of 18.8% for fiscal year 2014 was favorably impacted by a decrease in a foreign deferred tax asset valuation allowance.36.6% and did not include any material unusual items.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash andposition, which is comprised of cash, cash equivalents, position increasedand short-term investments, decreased to $47.6$87.3 million at June 30, 20162018 from $34.7$98.6 million at June 30, 2015,2017, primarily due to positivean $18.2 million cash outflow for the D’style acquisition, capital expenditures of $22.3 million in fiscal year 2018, and the return of capital to shareowners in the form of stock repurchases and dividends totaling $19.0 million in fiscal year 2018, which more than offset $46.9 million of cash flows from operating activities as discussed below.operations during fiscal year 2018.
Working capital at June 30, 20162018 was $52.8$85.1 million compared to working capital of $32.1$82.5 million at June 30, 2015. The increase in working capital was driven by a $12.9 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $9.2 million increase in assets held for sale which are classified as current assets.2017. The current ratio was 1.51.7 at both June 30, 20162018 and 1.3 at June 30, 2015.2017.


Kimball’sOur short-term liquidity available, represented as cash, and cash equivalents, and short-term investments plus the unused amount of our credit facility, totaled $76.2$115.9 million at June 30, 2016. We had no borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2016 or June 30, 2015.2018. At June 30, 2016,2018, we had $1.4 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. We had no credit facility borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2018 or June 30, 2017.
During fiscal year 2017 we sold a facility in Indiana which housed an education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom for proceeds of $3.8 million. We were leasing a portion of the facility back to facilitate the short-term transition of those functions to other existing Indiana locations. The sale of the facility did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting thus the book value of the building remained on the property and equipment line of our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017 and the related sale-leaseback financing obligation was a current liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017. During fiscal year 2018, the lease terminated and the sales transaction was recognized, resulting in a $1.7 million pre-tax gain which was recorded in selling and administrative expense.
Cash Flows
Cash management was centralized prior to the spin-off, thus cash flows prior to the October 31, 2014 spin-off date include Kimball Electronics cash flows. Cash flows from discontinued operations are combined with cash flows from continuing operations within each cash flow statement category on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for fiscal years 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 2014.2016.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For fiscal years 20162018 and 2015,2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $49.0$46.9 million and $13.8$64.8 million, respectively, fueled by net income of $34.4 million and $37.5 million, respectively. In fiscal year 2018, changes in working capital balances used $15.2 million and a reduction in deferred income tax and other deferred charges increased cash flow by $9.1 million. Changes in working capital balances provided $4.6$10.1 million of cash in fiscal year 2016 and used $33.2 million in fiscal year 2015.2017. Cash generated from operating activities in fiscal year 20142016 totaled $69.9$49.4 million, which was impacted by net income of $21.2 million, and changes in working capital balances provided $5.4$4.6 million of cash.
The $15.2 million of cash used as a result of changes in working capital balances in fiscal year 2018 was partially driven by an increase of $6.7 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily due to an overpayment of estimated income taxes for fiscal year 2018. Statutory federal tax rates declined in the latter half of our fiscal year as the Tax Act was enacted, and we accelerated certain deductions into the current fiscal year to take advantage of higher tax rates in fiscal year 2018 versus fiscal year 2019. Also contributing was an increase of $5.7 million in our accounts receivable balance primarily driven by increased sales toward the end of fiscal year 2018 compared to fiscal year 2017.
The $10.1 million of cash provided by changes in working capital balances in fiscal year 2017 was primarily driven by a combined $5.7 million increase in accrued annual cash incentive compensation and accrued retirement plan contributions.
The $4.6 million of cash provided by changes in working capital balances in fiscal year 2016 was primarily due to the $4.9 million source of cash driven by a decrease in our accounts receivable balance as the collection process was improved at a select location.
The $33.2 million usage of cash from changes in working capital balances in fiscal year 2015 was primarily driven by increases in our inventory balance and accounts receivable balance. Slightly more than half of the $21.9 million usage of cash for inventory was driven by increased inventory levels in our furniture operations while the remainder was related to inventory fluctuations of the discontinued EMS business prior to the spin date. The $15.3 million usage of cash for receivables was primarily driven by increased receivables levels in our furniture operations and to a lesser extent increased receivables levels of the discontinued EMS business prior to the spin date.
The $5.4 million of cash provided by changes in working capital balances in fiscal year 2014 was primarily driven by a $19.5 million increase in accrued expenses largely due to higher accrued profit-based incentive compensation and a $15.7 million increase in accounts payable related to increased inventory purchases and an increase in customer deposits received on custom orders. These sources of cash were partially offset by a $14.9 million inventory increase during fiscal year 2014 to support increased sales volumes and a $14.6 million increase in accounts receivable driven by the increased sales levels and a shift in the payment practices of several customers of our former EMS segment.
Our measure of accounts receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”), for theboth fiscal years ended June 30, 20162018 and June 30, 20152017 was approximately 27 days and approximately 30 days, respectively. For the pre-spin periods, the amount was estimated on a continuing operations basis.27.0 days. We define DSO as the average of monthly trade accounts and notes receivable divided by an average day’s net sales. Our Production Days Supply on Hand (“PDSOH”) of inventory measure for theboth fiscal yearyears ended June 30, 2016 increased to approximately 51 days from approximately 45 days from the fiscal year ended2018 and June 30, 2015. The PDSOH increase2017 was driven by increased inventory levels throughout fiscal year 2016 to support growth, customer lead time requirements, and the manufacturing consolidation plan. For the pre-spin periods the amount was estimated on a continuing operations basis.47.0 days. We define PDSOH as the average of the monthly gross inventory divided by an average day’s cost of sales.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During fiscal year 2018, we invested $42.5 million in available-for-sale securities, and $42.8 million matured. During fiscal year 2017, we invested $42.1 million in available-for-sale securities, and $5.9 million matured. Our short-term investments included municipal bonds, certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market, and U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. During fiscal year 2018, we had a cash outflow of $18.2 million upon the D’style acquisition. During fiscal years 2016, 2015,2018 and 20142017, we received proceeds from the sale of assets net of selling expenses of $5.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively, the majority of which related to the sale of our fleet of over-the-road tractors and trailers in fiscal year 2018 and the sale of our Idaho facility in fiscal year 2017, respectively. During fiscal years 2018, 2017, and 2016 we reinvested $16.2$22.3 million, $33.1$12.7 million, and $33.7$16.2 million, respectively, into capital investments for the future. The capital investments in the current year were primarily for facility improvements such as renovations to our corporate headquarters and showrooms, and various manufacturing equipment upgrades to increase automation in production facilities. The capital investments during fiscal year 2017 were primarily for facility improvements such as renovations to showrooms and the corporate headquarters, various manufacturing equipment, and replacements of tractors and trailers in our fleet. The fiscal year 2016 capital investments were primarily for manufacturing equipment such as an automated finish technology upgrade and equipment related to the transition of the metal fabrication capabilities and assembly operations to certain Indiana facilities and various facility and showroom improvements. The fiscal year 2015 capital investments were primarily for improvements to a sales and marketing facility which showcases product in a working


environment, improvements to showrooms and manufacturing facilities, and manufacturing equipment in our continuing furniture business and to a lesser extent for manufacturing equipment in our discontinued EMS business prior to spin-off. The fiscal year 2014 capital investments were primarily for manufacturing equipment in our discontinued EMS business and to a lesser extent the continuing furniture business.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We paid $10.1 million of dividends in fiscal year 2018 compared to paying $8.8 million of dividends in fiscal year 2017 and $8.1 million of dividends in fiscal year 2016 compared to paying $7.7 million of dividends in fiscal year 2015 and $7.5 million of dividends in fiscal year 2014.2016. Consistent with our historical dividend policy, the Company’sour Board of Directors evaluates the appropriate dividend payment on a quarterly basis. We repurchased shares pursuant to a previously announced stock repurchase program which drove cash outflow of $8.9 million in fiscal year 2018, $6.7 million in fiscal year 2017, and $9.7 million in fiscal year 2016 and $10.3 million in fiscal year 2015. We did not repurchase shares under this stock repurchase program in fiscal year 2014. In fiscal year 2015, Kimball transferred $63.0 million of cash to Kimball Electronics in conjunction with the spin-off.2016.
Credit Facility
We maintain a $30.0 million credit facility with a maturity date of October 2019 that allows for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. This facility provides an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $55.0 million at our request, subject to the consent of the participating banks. At both June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we had no borrowings outstanding. At June 30, 2016,2018, we had $1.4 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. At both June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, we had no borrowings outstanding.


The credit facility requires us to comply with certain debt covenants, the most significant of which are the adjusted leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. The adjusted leverage ratio is defined as (a) consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash on hand in the U.S. in excess of $15,000,000 to (b) consolidated EBITDA, determined as of the end of each of our fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, toand may not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0. The fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as (a) the sum of (i) consolidated EBITDA, minus (ii) 50% of depreciation expense, minus (iii) taxes paid, minus (iv) dividends and distributions paid, to (b) the sum of (i) scheduled principal payments on indebtedness due and/or paid, plus (ii) interest expense, calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, determined as of the end of each of our fiscal quarters for the trailing four fiscal quarters then ending, and may not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all debt covenants of the credit facility during fiscal year 2016.2018.
The table below compares the adjusted leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio with the limits specified in the credit agreement.

Future Liquidity
We believe our principal sources of liquidity from available funds on hand and short-term investments, cash generated from operations, and the availability of borrowing under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund future dividends and meet our working capital and other operating needs for at least the next 12 months. During fiscal year 2017,2019, we anticipate cash outflow of approximately $12.1$11.3 million for deferredaccrued cash incentive compensation related to our fiscal year 20162018 performance. We maywill continue to evaluate market conditions in determining future share repurchases. At June 30, 2018, 1.2 million shares remained available under the repurchase shares if conditions are favorable. We alsoprogram. During fiscal year 2019 we expect to continue to investinvestments in capital expenditures, prudently, particularly for projects includingsuch as our headquarters renovation, showroom renovations, machinery and equipment upgrades and automation, and potential acquisitions, that would enhance our capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, we sold our Post Falls, Idaho facility and land which was classified as held for sale. The transaction generated approximately $10 million of cash, including cash proceeds less closing costs and estimated income taxes on the transaction.
Our ability to generate cash from operations to meet our liquidity obligations could be adversely affected in the future by factors such as general economic and market conditions, lack of availability of raw material components in the supply chain, a decline in demand for our services, the impact of changes in tariffs, loss of key contract customers, including government subcontract customers, or potential fines and penalties that may result from the government’soutcome of a governmental review of our GSA subcontractor reporting practices, and other unforeseen circumstances. In particular, should demand for our products decrease significantly over the next 12 months, the available cash provided by operations could be adversely impacted.

The non-GAAP financial measures used within this itemMD&A include (1) adjusted operating income defined as operating income excluding spin-off expensesrestructuring; (2) adjusted net income defined as net income excluding restructuring; and restructuring charges; (2) income from continuing operations excluding spin-off expenses and restructuring charges; and (3) adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operationsdefined as diluted earnings per share excluding spin-off expenses and restructuring charges.restructuring. Reconciliations of the reported GAAP numbers to these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the table below. Management believes it is useful for investors to understand how its core operations performed without spin-offgains or expenses and costs incurred in executing its restructuring plans.plan. Excluding these amounts allows investors to meaningfully trend, analyze, and benchmark the performance of the Company’sour core operations. Many of the Company’sour internal performance measures that management uses to make certain operating decisions exclude these chargesgains/expenses to enable meaningful trending of core operating metrics. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative to the GAAP measures and are presented as supplemental information.

Fair Value
During fiscal year 2016,2018, no financial instruments were affected by a lack of market liquidity. ForFinancial assets classified as level 1 financial assets were valued using readily available market pricing. For commercial paper and available-for-sale securities classified as level 2 assets, the fair values are determined based on market data which use evaluated pricing wasmodels and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information. We evaluated the inputs used to value the financial instruments. Kimball also holdsinstruments and validated the accuracy of the instrument fair values based on historical evidence. The investment in stock warrants and non-marketable equity securities of a privately-held company are classified as a level 3 financial asset.assets. The stock warrants are accounted for as a derivative instrument valued on a recurring basis considering the pricing of recent purchases or sales, if any, of the investment inas well as positive and negative qualitative evidence, while the non-marketable equity securities isare accounted for as a cost-method investment which carries the securities at cost, except in the event of impairment. Our foreign currency derivatives, which were classified as level 2 liabilities, were valued using observable market inputs such as forward interest rate yield


curves, current spot rates, and time value calculations. To verify the reasonableness of the determined fair values, these derivative fair values were compared to fair values calculated by the counterparty banks. Our own credit risk and counterparty credit risk had an immaterial impact on the valuation of the foreign currency derivatives. The contingent earn-out liability incurred in the acquisition of D’style is classified as a level 3 financial liability and is valued based on a valuation model that measures the present value of the probable cash payments based upon the forecasted operating performance of the D’style acquisition and a discount rate that captures the risk associated with the liability.
See Note 1110 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Refer to Note 6 - Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding Long-Term Debt Obligations. Accrued interest is also included on the Long-Term Debt Obligations line. The fiscal year 20172019 amount includes less than $0.1 million of long-term debt obligations due in fiscal year 20172019 which were recorded as a current liability. The estimated interest not yet accrued related to debt is included in the Other line item within the Unrecorded Contractual Obligations.
(c)The timing of payments of certain items included on the “Other Long-Term Liabilities Reflected on the Balance Sheet” line above is estimated based on the following assumptions:
The timing of long-term SERP payments is estimated based on an assumed retirement age of 62 with payout based on the prior distribution elections of participants. The fiscal year 20172019 amount includes $0.8$3.9 million for SERP payments recorded as current liabilities.
The timing of severance plan payments is estimated based on the average remaining service life of employees. The fiscal year 20172019 amount includes $0.5$0.5 million for severance payments recorded as a current liability.
The timing of warranty payments is estimated based on historical data. The fiscal year 20172019 amount includes $0.9$0.7 million for short-term warranty payments recorded as a current liability.
The timing of earn-out liability is contingent based upon fiscal year 2018 and 2019 D’style operating income compared to a predetermined target for each fiscal year. The fiscal year 2019 amount includes $0.5 million for earn-out payments recorded as a current liability.

(f)Purchase Obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms. The amounts listed above for purchase obligations include contractual commitments for items such as raw materials, supplies, capital expenditures, services, and software acquisitions/license commitments. Cancellable purchase obligations that we intend to fulfill are also included in the purchase obligations amount listed above through fiscal year 2021.2023.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit, a performance bond, and operating leases entered into in the normal course of business. These arrangements do not have a material current effect and are not reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. See Note 5 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the standby letters of credit and the performance bond. We do not have material exposures to trading activities of non-exchange traded contracts.
Critical Accounting Policies
Kimball’sOur consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.U.S. GAAP. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management uses its best judgment in the assumptions used to value these estimates, which are based on current facts and circumstances, prior experience, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements and are the policies that are most critical in the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations. Management has discussed these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company’sour Board of Directors and with the Company’sour independent registered public accounting firm.
Revenue recognition - We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the title and the risk of loss passes to the customer according to the terms of the contract. Title and risk of loss are transferred upon shipment to or receipt at our customers’ locations, or in limited circumstances, as determined by other specific sales terms of the transaction. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. We recognize sales net of applicable sales tax. Based on estimated product returns and price concessions, a reserve for returns and allowances is recorded at the time of the sale, resulting in a reduction of revenue.
Self-insurance reserves - We are self-insured up to certain limits for auto and general liability, workers’ compensation, and certain employee health benefits such as medical, short-term disability, and dental with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as a result of increased medical costs and changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change and reserve levels to be adjusted accordingly. At June 30, 20162018 and June 30, 2015,2017, our accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $3.7$4.1 million and $2.8$4.3 million, respectively.
Taxes - Deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The deferred taxes are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we provide a valuation allowance based on our best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management’s assessment.
We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. However, we believe we have made adequate provision for income and other taxes for all years that are subject to audit. As tax positions are effectively settled, the tax provision will be adjusted accordingly. The liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions, was $3.0$1.9 million at June 30, 20162018 and $2.9$2.8 million at June 30, 2015.2017.
Goodwill - Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, we may assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test. We compare the carrying value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit’s fair value to identify impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is written down to its fair value. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the reporting unit level. The fair value is established primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis and secondarily a market approach utilizing current industry information. The calculation of the fair value of the reporting unit considers current market conditions existing at the assessment date. During fiscal year 2018 no goodwill impairment was recognized. At June 30, 2018, goodwill totaled $8.8 million.


New Accounting Standards
See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding New Accounting Standards.  


Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk: We hold an investment portfolio of available-for-sale securities, comprised of municipal bonds, certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market, U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of the investment portfolio was $34.6 million. Our investment policy dictates that municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities must be investment grade quality, and all certificates of deposit are Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured. These securities are fixed income instruments and will decline in value if market interest rates increase. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in an annual period in market interest rates from levels at June 30, 2018 would cause the fair value of these investments to decline by an immaterial amount. Further information on investments is provided in Note 12 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We also hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, consisting of $0.5 million in non-marketable equity securities and $1.5 million in stock warrants. The fair value of the investment may fluctuate due to events and changes in circumstances, but we have incurred no impairment during fiscal year 2018 or 2017.
Commodity Risk: We are exposed to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations for components used in the manufacture of our products, primarily related to wood and wood-related components, steel, plastics,aluminum, and aluminum.plastics. These components are impacted by global pricing pressures and general economic conditions. The U.S. recently imposed tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum imported from several countries, which could adversely impact our input costs. The government has also recently proposed to expand its list of products subject to tariffs to include furniture products, parts, and components, and if approved, the landed cost of our products could increase materially, which would reduce our net income if we are unable to mitigate the additional cost. We are monitoring this situation, but at this time we are uncertain of the potential impact that these tariffs may have on our results of operations. We strive to offset increases in the cost of these materials through supplier negotiations, global sourcing initiatives, product re-engineering and parts standardization, and price increases on our products. We are also exposed to fluctuation in transportation costs such as fuel used to operate our trucking fleet to transport product to our customers, and external shipping costs which fluctuate primarilyvary based upon freight carrier capacity and fuel prices. Fuel pricesTransportation costs are managed by optimizing logistics and supply chain planning, and increasing prices on our products.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: Our former EMS segment, classified as a discontinued operation, operated internationally and was therefore exposed to potentially adverse movements inWe have minimal foreign currency rate changes. Our risk management strategy included the useand held an immaterial amount of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Derivatives were used only to manage underlying exposuresas of June 30, 2018, and were not used in a speculative manner.none as of June 30, 2017. Further information on derivative financial instruments is provided in Note 1211 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Our continuing operations have minimal foreign currency risk and held no derivative instruments as of June 30, 2016 and 2015. 


Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data



MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Kimball International, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the preparation and integrity of the accompanying financial statements and other related information in this report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the footnotes, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include judgments and estimates, which in the opinion of management are applied on an appropriately conservative basis.appropriately. We maintain a system of internal and disclosure controls intended to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or material misuse, transactions are authorized and recorded properly, and that the accounting records may be relied upon for the preparation of the financial statements. This system is tested and evaluated regularly for adherence and effectiveness by employees who work within the internal control processes, by our staff of internal auditors, as well as by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with their annual audit.
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting excluded D’style, an acquisition completed in November 2017 which consisted of certain assets of D’style, Inc. and all of the capital stock of Diseños de Estilo, S.A. de C.V. This acquisition represented 7% and 2% of consolidated total assets and consolidated net sales, respectively, of the Company as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018. Under guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their first assessment of internal control over financial reporting within one year of the date of the acquisition.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of directors who are not employees of the Company, meets regularly with management, our internal auditors, and the independent registered public accounting firm to review our financial policies and procedures, our internal control structure, the objectivity of our financial reporting, and the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm have free and direct access to the Audit Committee, and they meet periodically, without management present, to discuss appropriate matters.
Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
These consolidated financial statements are subject to an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, conducted under the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2016.2018.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on our internal control over financial reporting which is included herein.

Our audits also included2018, and the financial statementrelated notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15.15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016,2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at D’style (consisting of certain assets of D’style, Inc. and all of the capital stock of Diseños de Estilo, S.A. de C.V.), which was acquired in November 2017 and whose financial statements constitute 7% of total assets and 2% of net sales of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at D’style.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the auditaudits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supportingregarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessingstatements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, andas well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement presentation.statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and


expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of theits inherent limitations, of internal control over financial reporting including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be preventedprevent or detected on a timely basis.detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kimball International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

KIMBALL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Operating Segments: We sell a portfolio of furniture products and services under three brands: Kimball, Office, National, Office Furniture, and Kimball Hospitality. We consider each of the three brands to be operating segments which aggregate into one reportable segment. The brands operate within six market verticals, selling to similar types of customers. Our products and services are similar in nature and utilize similar production and distribution processes. Our three brands share similar long-term economic characteristics.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“USU.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures. While efforts are made to assure estimates used are reasonably accurate based on management’s knowledge of current events, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the title and the risk of loss passes to the customer according to the terms of the contract. Title and risk of loss are transferred upon shipment to or receipt at our customers’ locations, or in limited circumstances, as determined by other specific sales terms of the transaction. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. We recognize sales net of applicable sales tax. Based on estimated product returns and price concessions, a reserve for returns and allowances is recorded at the time of the sale, resulting in a reduction of revenue.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank accounts, and money market funds.funds, and commercial paper. Bank accounts are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and money market funds and commercial paper are stated at fair value.
Short-Term Investments: Short-term investments consist primarily of municipal bonds, certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market, and U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. Municipal bonds include general obligation bonds and revenue bonds, some of which are pre-refunded. U.S. Treasury securities represent Treasury Bills and Notes of the U.S. government. Federal agency securities represent debt securities of a U.S. government sponsored agency, some of which are callable. Our investment policy dictates that municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities must be investment grade quality. Our secondary market certificates of deposit are classified as investment securities, being purchased in the secondary market through a broker and available to be sold in the secondary market. All certificates of deposit are FDIC insured. All investments have maturities exceeding three months and are classified as available-for-sale securities which are recorded at fair value. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in earnings when there is intent to sell or it is likely to be required to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the available-for-sale securities have incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and losses are recorded net of the tax-related effect as a component of Shareowners’ Equity.
Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable: Kimball’sOur notes receivable and trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. We determine on a case-by-case basis the cessation of accruing interest, the resumption of accruing interest, the method of recording payments received on nonaccrual receivables, and the delinquency status for our limited number of notes receivable.
Our policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable and notes receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to determine the final allowance for credit losses on the trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. Trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Our limited amount of notes receivable allows management to monitor the risks, credit quality indicators, collectability, and probability of impairment on an individual basis. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in selling and administrative expenses. Customary terms require payment within 30 days, with terms beyond 30 days being considered extended.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost includes material, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead. Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed as incurred. The last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method was used for approximately 93%92% and 91%94% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 20162018 and June 30, 2015, 2017,


respectively. The remaining inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and average cost method. Inventories are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand levels. Factors considered when evaluating obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value due to damage, use as showroom samples, design changes, or cessation of product lines.
Property, Equipment, and Depreciation: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. Major maintenance activities and improvements are capitalized; other maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed. Depreciation and expenses for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are included in both the Cost of Sales line and the Selling and Administrative Expense line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: We perform reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, we may assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test. We compare the carrying value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit’s fair value to identify impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is written down to its fair value. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the reporting unit level. The fair value is established primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis and secondarily a market approach utilizing current industry information. The calculation of the fair value of the reporting unit considers current market conditions existing at the assessment date. During fiscal year 2018 no goodwill impairment was recognized.
During fiscal year 2018, we recorded $8.8 million and $10.7 million, respectively, in goodwill and other intangible assets from the acquisition of D’style, Inc. See Note 2 - Acquisition to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this acquisition.
Other Intangible Assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of capitalized software, product rights, customer relationships, trade names, and product rights.non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets.  A summary of other intangible assets subject to amortization is as follows:

During fiscal years 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 2014,2016, amortization expense of other intangible assets from continuing operations was, in thousands, $786, $898,$1,769, $1,071, and $992,$786, respectively. Amortization expense in future periods is expected to be, in thousands, $855, $652, $522, $459,$1,909, $1,955, $1,572, $1,252, and $296$1,029 in the five years ending June 30, 2021,2023, and $237$4,890 thereafter. The estimated useful life of internal-use software ranges from 2 to 10 years. The amortization period for customer relationship intangible assets is 20 years. The estimated useful life of trade names is 10 years. The estimated useful life of non-compete agreements is 5 years.
Internal-use software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line method. During the software application development stage, capitalized costs include external consulting costs, cost of software licenses, and internal payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with a software project. Upgrades and


enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which enable the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance, training, data conversion, and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 
ProductTrade names, non-compete agreements, and product rights to produce and sell certain products are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Capitalized customer relationships are amortized on estimated attrition rate of customers. We have no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives which are not subject to amortization. 
Research and Development: The costs of research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs from continuing operations were approximately, in millions, $6,$7, $7, and $7$6 in fiscal years 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 2014,2016, respectively.
Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, from continuing operations, included in selling and administrative expenses were, in millions, $4.0, $4.0,$5.8, $4.3, and $3.7,$4.0, in fiscal years 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 2014,2016, respectively. 
Insurance and Self-insurance: We are self-insured for certain employee health benefits including medical, short-term disability, and dental. Our self-insured reserves are estimated based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. We carry medical coverage for our eligible workforce not covered by self-insured plans. Insurance benefits are not provided to retired employees.
We also participate, along with other companies, in a group captive insurance company (“Captive”). The Captive insures losses related to workman's compensation, motor vehicle liability, product liability, and general liability. The Captive reinsures catastrophic losses for all participants, including Kimball International, in excess of predetermined amounts. We pay premiums to the Captive which accumulate as a prepaid deposit estimated for losses related to the above coverage. We also maintain a reserve for outstanding unpaid workers’ compensation claims, including an estimate of incurred but not reported claims.
Additionally, we purchase insurance coverage for property insurance, director and officer liability insurance, umbrella coverage, and other risks.
Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The deferred taxes are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our deferred


tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we provide a valuation allowance based on our best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management’s assessment. We early adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on simplifying the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes, using the retrospective transition method, and thus have classifiedclassify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in our consolidated balance sheets.
We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex uncertain tax positions, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We maintain a liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions. As tax positions are effectively settled, the tax liability is adjusted accordingly. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Concentrations of Credit Risk: Certain business and credit risks are inherent in our business. Additionally, we currently have a note receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility, a notenotes receivable from a dealer,independent dealership financing and other miscellaneous notes receivable which are included on the Receivables and Other Assets lines of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 20162018 and 2015, $1.92017, $0.8 million and $1.8$0.6 million, respectively, were outstanding under the notes receivables.receivable. The credit risk associated with receivables is disclosed in Note 2019 - Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses of Notes Receivable of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Risk: Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit, a performance bond, and operating leases entered into in the normal course of business as described in Note 5 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-operating Income and Expense: Non-operating income and expense include the impact of such items as fair value adjustments on Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) investments, foreign currency rate movements, bank charges, investment gain or loss, non-production rent income, and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. The gain or loss on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in selling and administrative expenses.


Foreign Currency Translation: Kimball's continuingOur foreign operation, a non-manufacturing office in China, usesoperations use the U.S. Dollar as itstheir functional currency. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are remeasured into functional currencies at end-of-period exchange rates, except for nonmonetary assets and equity, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at the weighted average exchange rate during the fiscal year, except for expenses related to nonmonetary assets, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement are reported in the Non-operating income or expense line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement into EUR and USD functional currencies related to our former EMS segment are included in the Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax line item of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: DuringDerivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Hedge accounting is utilized when a derivative is expected to be highly effective upon execution and continues to be highly effective over the duration of the hedge transaction. Hedge accounting permits gains and losses on derivative instruments to be deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item, or when the derivative is determined to be ineffective. We use derivatives primarily for forward purchases of foreign currency to manage exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to the foreign exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currency.
We hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, including $1.5 million in stock warrants purchased during fiscal year 2016 we did not utilize2017. The investment in stock warrants is accounted for as a derivative instruments. During fiscal years 2015instrument and 2014, prior tois included in the spin-offOther Assets line of our EMS segment, derivative instruments were utilized to hedge the exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 1211 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Stock-Based Compensation: As described in Note 8 - Stock Compensation Plans of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Kimball maintainswe maintain a stock-based compensation plan which allows for the issuance of stock unit awards, restricted stock restricted share units, unrestricted share grants, incentiveawards, stock options, nonqualified stock options, performance shares, performance units, and stock appreciation rights, for grant to officers and other keystock-based awards. each of which may include performance-based conditions, to certain employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees.advisors. We recognize the cost resulting from share-based payment transactions using a fair-value-based method. The estimated fair value of outstanding performance shares and restricted share units is based on the stock price at the date of the grant. For performance shares, the price is reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on outstanding performance share awards. The estimated fair value of outstanding relative total shareholder return performance units (“RTSR”) is based on the grant date fair value of RTSR awards using a Monte Carlo simulation which includes estimating the movement of stock prices and the effects of volatility, interest rates, and dividends. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimatedaccounted for as they occur.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that allows the reclassification of the income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Under the Tax Act, deferred taxes were adjusted to reflect the reduction of the federal income tax rate to the newly enacted federal income tax rate which left the tax effects on items within accumulated other comprehensive income stranded at historical tax rates. This guidance requires qualitative disclosure of the timeaccounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income and if the reclassification election is made, the impacts of grantthe change on the consolidated financial statements. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted and revised, if necessary,is to be applied either in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differthe period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Act changes are recognized. We early adopted the guidance in our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 and reclassified the entire tax effect out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into retained earnings in the amount of $0.3 million. Our policy for releasing disproportionate income tax effects from those estimates.accumulated other comprehensive income utilizes the aggregate approach.
In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. The objective of this guidance is to better align a company’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships, simplify the hedge accounting requirements, and improve the disclosures of hedging arrangements. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted. We early adopted the guidance in our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 and the guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement to estimate the implied fair value of a reporting unit from the goodwill impairment test. Under the guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An


Recententity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective prospectively for our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 financial statements with early adoption permitted. In conjunction with our acquisition of D’style, Inc. we early adopted the guidance in our second quarter of fiscal year 2018, and the guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance which revises the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted and the amendments can be applied to transactions occurring before the guidance was issued as long as the applicable financial statements have not been issued. In conjunction with our acquisition of D’style, Inc., we early adopted the guidance in our second quarter of fiscal year 2018 and the guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies and provides specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues that are not addressed by current GAAP. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows, including how to classify contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, which will impact the presentation of future earn-out payments for our acquisition of D’style, Inc. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted. We early adopted the guidance in our second quarter of fiscal year 2018 and the guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance does not impact inventory measured on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. The guidance was adopted prospectively in our first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:
In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance to improve the accounting for and to reduce the cost and complexity of share-based payments to nonemployees for goods and services. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted but may not be adopted earlier than the adoption of the new revenue standard. We expect to adopt the standard at the beginning of our fiscal year 2019, and it will be applied to awards that have not been settled by the date of adoption. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted and will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance that will shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. This guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. This guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted. We have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance that requires employers that present a measure of operating income in their statement of income to include only the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in operating expenses, which will impact the presentation of our postemployment benefit plan. Employers are required to present all other components of net benefit cost separate from the service costs and disclose the line item in which the components of net benefit cost other than the service cost are included. Retrospective application of the change in the statement of income presentation is required. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the scope of guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition as well as the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. This new guidance is meant to clarify the scope of the original guidance that was issued in connection with the guidance relating to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, as defined below, which addresses recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted, and we are required to adopt concurrent with the adoption of the guidance on recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. We are reviewing the impact of this rule but have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to include in their cash and cash equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The guidance is


effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted and is required to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each prior reporting period. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Under the guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance is also intended to reduce the complexity by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption in our fiscal year 2020 permitted. We have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as the classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. We have not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that revises the accounting for leases. The guidance is intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. The guidance will also require additional disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In January 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance for land easements which permits entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to determine if they contain a lease. New land easement arrangements, or modifications to existing arrangements, after the adoption of the lease standard will be evaluated to determine if they meet the definition of a lease. In July 2018, the FASB amended the new standard to clarify certain aspects of the guidance, and they also issued another new standard in July 2018 that allows the option to apply the transition provisions at the adoption date instead of at the earliest comparative period in the consolidated financial statements. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted and is required to be applied either using a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period.period or initial application as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance which is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The guidance revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The guidance is effective prospectively for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 financial statements with early adoption allowed on certain provisions. We have not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The guidance requires the classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The current requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by this update. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2018 financial statements with early adoption permitted, and allows for the use of either a prospective or retrospective transition method. We have early adopted using the retrospective transition method for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, and thus have reclassified current deferred tax assets and liabilities to noncurrent in our consolidated balance sheet. As a result for June 30, 2015, $12.3 million of current deferred tax assets that were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.9 million of deferred tax liabilities that were included in other long term liabilities have been reclassified to noncurrent deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance does not impact inventory measured on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. The standards update is effective prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2018 financial statements with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability and further clarification guidance allows the cost of securing a revolving line of credit to be recorded as a deferred asset regardless of whether a balance is outstanding. This guidance is effective for our first quarter fiscal year 2017 financial statements. We currently comply with this method therefore the adoption will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance on customer’s accounting for cloud computing fees and provided criteria for customers in a cloud computing arrangement to use to determine whether the arrangement includes a license of software. The guidance clarifies that a software license included in a cloud computing arrangement should be accounted for consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses, whereas a cloud computing arrangement that does not include a software license should be accounted for as a service contract. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2017 financial


statements, and allows for the use of either a prospective or retrospective transition method. We plan to adopt using the prospective transition method for our first quarter of fiscal year 2017, and we do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB provided explicit guidance on how to account for share-based payments granted to employees in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The guidance will be applied prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2017 financial statements. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance addresses several areas including transfer of control, contracts with multiple performance obligations, and costs to obtain and fulfill contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date for this new revenue standard by one year, which will make the guidance effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 financial statements using either of two acceptable adoption methods: (i) retrospective adoption to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients; or (ii) adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance which further clarifies assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction, and impacts whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis; in April 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance that addresses identifying performance obligations and implementing licensing guidance; and in May 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance that clarifies collectability, noncash consideration, and other transition issues. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new revenue standard.
We have not yet selectedcompleted a transition method nor determinedpreliminary review of the effectimpact of this guidancethe new revenue standard and expect the primary change to be the reclassification of certain items on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance on reporting discontinued operationsstatement of income. For contracts involving products that are sold directly to end customers, currently any fees paid to dealer agents for facilitating the sale and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity.performing certain services are netted against revenue. Under the new guidance,standard, fees paid to dealer agents will be recognized as either cost of sales or selling expense. In addition, any commissions or fees paid to third-party purchasing organizations will be recognized as a disposal that represents a strategic shift that has orselling expense rather than being netted against revenue. Although the result of these changes will be increases in net sales, cost of sales, and selling expenses, these changes will have no impact to operating income dollars but will reduce operating income as a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results is a discontinued operation.percent of net sales. The new guidance requires expanded disclosuresstandard will also require several less significant changes including classifying the reserve for returns and allowance as a liability rather than a contra-receivable, recognizing a recovery asset for potential product returns, and capitalizing costs to obtain and fulfill sales contracts. The new standard will also require significantly more disclosure than is required under current rules. We continue to evaluate the impact that will provide more information aboutresult from adoption of the assets, liabilities, income,new standard, and expenses of discontinued operations,we are


finalizing changes to our business processes, systems, and also requires disclosures of significant disposals that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance was effective prospectively for disposals or componentsinternal controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. We expect to adopt the standard at the beginning of our business classified as heldfiscal year 2019 using the full retrospective approach which, upon adoption, will adjust fiscal years 2017 and 2018 to provide comparable financial reporting for sale beginning in our firstthese periods.
Note 2 Acquisition
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016. The adoption did not have2018, we acquired certain assets of D’style, Inc. (“D’style”), headquartered in Chula Vista, California. This acquisition expanded our reach into hospitality public space areas and added an attractive product portfolio of solutions for the residential market through the acquired Allan Copley Designs brand. These offerings enable us to take advantage of the trend where hospitality, residential and commercial designs are merging. As part of this acquisition, we also acquired all of the capital stock of Diseños de Estilo S.A. de C.V. headquartered in Tijuana, Mexico, another member of the D’style group which manufactures exclusively for D’style, strengthening our North American manufacturing footprint and serving as a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill is primarily attributable to the spin-off,anticipated revenue and supply chain synergies expected from the operations of the combined company. An immaterial amount of goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes, while the tax deductible portion is deductible over 15 years.

Note 3    Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories are valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) cost or market valuemethod for approximately 93%92% and 91%94% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 20162018 and June 30, 20152017, respectively. The remaining inventories are valued using the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and average cost or market value.method.


Had the FIFO method been used for all inventories, income from continuing operations would have been$1.1 millionhigher in fiscal year 2018, $0.4 millionhigher in fiscal year 2017, and $1.0 million lower in fiscal year 2016, $0.2 millionhigher in fiscal year 2015, and $0.6 millionhigher in fiscal year 2014. Certain inventory quantity reductions caused liquidations of LIFO inventory values, which increased income from continuing operations by an immaterial amount in 2016, 20152018, 2017 and 2014.2016.

During fiscal year 2015,2018, we sold all of our over-the-road tractors and $13.5 for fiscal year 2014.trailers and the small parcel of land and recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.4 million as the $4.8 million selling price exceeded the book value net of selling costs.
At June 30, 2016, assets totaling $9.2 million were classified as held for sale for a facility and land located in Post Falls, Idaho. Subsequent to June 30, 2016,During fiscal year 2017, we sold theour Post Falls, Idaho facility and land which is explained in Note 21 - Subsequent Events of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. At June 30, 2015, Kimball had no assets classified as held for sale.
During fiscal year 2015, an aircraft which had been used primarily for management travel totaling $1.3 million was classified as held for sale during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, and was subsequently sold during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.2$2.1 million related toas the sale of the aircraft during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 which partially offsets the pre-tax impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 of $1.1$12.0 million due toselling price exceeded the book value of the aircraft exceeding current fair market value estimates lessfacility and land net of selling costs.

During fiscal year 2017, we also sold a facility in Indiana which housed an education center for dealer and landemployee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom for proceeds of $3.8 million. In order to allow for transition of those functions to our primary campus also located in Gaylord, Michigan, recognizingJasper, Indiana, we leased back a pre-tax lossportion of $0.3 million duringthe facility until December 31, 2017 at a favorable rate. The below-market terms of the leaseback are considered a form of continuing involvement that precludes sale treatment therefore we deferred the recognition of the sale until fiscal year 2014.

Note 5    Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Leases:
Operating leases for certain offices, showrooms, a manufacturing facility,facilities, land, and equipment, which expire from fiscal year 20172019 to 2026,2027, contain provisions under which minimum annual lease payments are, in millions, $3.4, $3.0,$4.0, $3.6, $3.3, $3.1, and $2.6 $2.5, and $2.4 for the five years ending June 30, 2021,2023, respectively, and aggregate $6.5$5.9 million from fiscal year 20222024 to the expiration of the leases in fiscal year 2026.2027. We are obligated under certain real estate leases to maintain the properties and pay real estate taxes. Certain leases include renewal options and escalation clauses. Total rental expense from continuing operations amounted to, in millions, $6.7, $4.9,$5.8, $6.0, and $4.1$6.7 in fiscal years 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 2014,2016, respectively, including certain leases requiring contingent lease payments based primarily on warehouse space utilized, which amounted to expense of, in millions, $2.4, $1.0,$1.2, $1.5, and $0.8$2.4 in fiscal years 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 2014,2016, respectively.
As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, capital2017, capitalized leases were not material.material and matured during fiscal year 2018.
During the latter portion of our fiscal year 2017, we sold a facility in Indiana which housed the education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom for proceeds of $3.8 million. We were leasing a portion of the facility back to facilitate the short-term transition of those functions to other existing Indiana locations. The sale of the facility did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting during fiscal year 2017, and thus the $1.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale was not recognized in selling and administrative expenses until fiscal year 2018.
Guarantees:
Standby letters of credit arewere issued to third-party suppliers, lessors and insurance and financial institutions and can only be drawn upon in the event of Kimball’sour failure to pay itsour obligations to thea beneficiary. We had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $1.4 million as of June 30, 20162018 and $1.0$1.2 million as of June 30, 2015.2017.
We are periodically required to provide performance bonds in order to conduct business with certain customers. The bonds are required to provide assurances to customers that the products and services they have purchased will be installed and/or provided properly and without damage to their facilities. We are ultimately liable for claims that may occur against the


performance bonds. We had a maximum financial exposure from performance bonds totaling $1.5$0.5 million as of June 30, 20162018 and an immaterial amount$0.4 million as of June 30, 2015.2017.
We are not aware of circumstances that would require us to perform under any of these arrangements and believe that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of June 30, 20162018 and 20152017 with respect to the standby letters of credit or performance bonds. KimballWe also entersenter into commercial letters of credit to facilitate payments to vendors and from customers.
Product Warranties:
We estimate product warranty liability at the time of sale based on historical repair or replacement cost trends in conjunction with the length of the warranty offered. Management refines the warranty liability periodically based on changes in historical cost trends and in certain cases where specific warranty issues become known.
Changes in the product warranty accrual during fiscal years 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 20142016 were as follows:

Other Contingency:
The U.S. government, as well as state and local governments, can typically terminate or modify their contracts with us either at their discretion or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract, which could expose us to liability. The failure to comply with regulatory and contractual requirements could subject us to investigations, fines, or other penalties, and violations of certain regulatory and contractual requirements could also result in us being suspended or debarred from future government contracting.
In March 2016, in connection with a renewal of one of our contracts, we became aware of noncompliance and inaccuracies in our General Services Administration (“GSA”) subcontractor reporting. Accordingly, we retained outside legal counsel to assist in conducting an internal review of our reporting practices, and we self-reported the matter and the results of the internal review to the GSA. We have promptly responded to inquiries from the GSA since our initial reporting, have met with government officials as requested on two occasions, and we intend to cooperate fully with any further inquiries or investigations. While we are not able to reasonably estimate the future financial impact, if


any, of the possible sanctions at this time, any of them could, if imposed, have a material adverse impact on our business, future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The timing of the government’s review and determination of any outcome of these matters is uncertain and, therefore, it is unclear as to when and to what extent, if any, our previously issued earnings guidance might be impacted. We have incurred, and will continue tomay incur additional, legal and related costs in connection with our internal review and the government’s response to this matter. During fiscal year 2016,2018, sales related to our GSA contracts were approximately 8.9%7.5% of total Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales, with one contract accounting for approximately 5.0%5.3% of total Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales and the other contract accounting for approximately 3.9%2.2% of Kimball International, Inc.our consolidated sales.
Note 6    Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities
Long-term debt, less current maturities as of June 30, 20162018 and 20152017, was, in thousands, $212161 and $241184, respectively, and current maturities of long-term debt were, in thousands, $2923 and $27, respectively. Long-term debt consists of a long-term note payable, and capitalized leases. Interest rates range from 2.50% towhich has an interest rate of 9.25% and maturities occurmatures in fiscal years 2018 and 2025. As of June 30, 2017, long-term debt also included capitalized leases, which matured during fiscal year 2018. Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are, in thousands, $2923, $25, $27, $23, $2530, and $2733, respectively, and aggregate $11046 thereafter.
We maintain a $30 million credit facility with a maturity date of October 31, 2019 that allows for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. This facility provides an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $55 million at our request, subject to the consent of the participating banks. At June 30, 20162018 and 20152017, we had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. At June 30, 2016,2018, we had $1.4 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility to $28.6 million.


The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement may consist of, at the Company’sour election, advances in U.S. dollars or advances in any other currency that is agreed to by the lenders. The proceeds of the revolving loans are to be used for general corporate purposes, of the Company including acquisitions. A portion of the credit facility, not to exceed $10 million of the principal amount, will be available for the issuance of letters of credit. The commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the credit facility which was immaterial to our operating results for fiscal years 20162018 and 2015.2017. The commitment fee on the unused portion of principal amount of the credit facility is payable at a rate that ranges from 20.0 to 25.0 basis points per annum as determined by the Company’sour ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.
The interest rate is dependent on the type of borrowings and will be one of the following two options:
The adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“Adjusted LIBO Rate” as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect two business days prior to the advance (adjusted upwards to reflect bank reserve costs) for such interest period, plus the Eurocurrency Loans margin which can range from 125.0 to 175.0 basis points based on the Company’sour ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA; or
The Alternate Base Rate, which is defined as the highest of the fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of
a.JPMorgan’sJP Morgan’s prime rate;
b.1% per annum above the Adjusted LIBO rate; or
c.1/2%0.5% per annum above the Federal funds rate;
plus the ABR Loans spread which can range from 25.0 to 75.0 basis points based on the Company’sour ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.
The Company’sOur financial covenants under the Credit Agreement require:
An adjusted leverage ratio of (a) consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash on hand in the U.S. in excess of $15,000,000 to (b) consolidated EBITDA, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, to not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0, and
A fixed charge coverage ratio of (a) the sum of (i) consolidated EBITDA, minus (ii) 50% of depreciation expense, minus (iii) taxes paid, minus (iv) dividends and distributions paid, to (b) the sum of (i) scheduled principal payments on indebtedness due and/or paid, plus (ii) interest expense, calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the trailing four fiscal quarters then ending, to not be less than 1.10 to 1.00.
Cash payments for interestInterest expense incurred on borrowings were, in thousands, $22, $29,$70, $37, and $29,$22, in fiscal years 2018, 2017, and 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Capitalized interest expense was immaterial during fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014.


Note 7    Employee Benefit Plans
Retirement Plans:
Kimball hasWe have a trusteed defined contribution retirement plan in effect for substantially all domestic employees meeting the eligibility requirements. Employer contributions to the trusteed plan have a five-year vesting schedule and are held for the sole benefit of participants. KimballWe also maintainsmaintain a supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) for executive employees which enables them to defer cash compensation on a pre-tax basis in excess of IRS limitations. The SERP is structured as a rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy. In connection with the spin-off during fiscal year 2015, the Company transferred the retirement plan balances of EMS employees to Kimball Electronics retirement plans.
The discretionary employer contribution for domestic employees is determined annually by the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. Total expense from continuing operations related to employer contributions to the domestic retirement plans was, in millions, $4.35.9, $4.36.4, and $4.04.3 for fiscal years 20162018, 20152017, and 20142016, respectively.
Employees of certain foreign subsidiaries are covered by local pension or retirement plans. The expense from continuing operations related to employer contributions to these foreign plans for fiscal years 20162018, 20152017, and 20142016 was not material.
Severance Plans:
Kimball’sOur domestic employees participate in severance plans which provide severance benefits to eligible employees meeting the plans’ qualifications, primarily for involuntary termination without cause. In connection with the spin-off during fiscal year 2015, the Company transferred the post-employment obligation for EMS employees to Kimball Electronics.


There are no statutory requirements for Kimballus to contribute to the plans, nor do employees contribute to the plans. The plans hold no assets. Benefits are paid using available cash on hand when eligible employees meet plan qualifications for payment. Benefits are based upon an employee’s years of service and accumulate up to certain limits specified in the plans and include both salary and an allowance for medical benefits.

The benefit cost in the above table includes only normal recurring levels of severance activity, as estimated using an actuarial method. Unusual or non-recurring severance actions such as those disclosed in Note 18 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, are not estimable using actuarial methods and are expensed in accordance with other applicable U.S. GAAP.
Prior service cost was amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees that were active at the time of the plan initiation, and was fully amortized during fiscal year 2015. Actuarial (gain) lossThe actuarial gain is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.
The estimated actuarial net (gain) loss from continuing operationsgain for the severance plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost (income)earnings over the next fiscal year is, pre-tax in thousands, $(460)381.

Note 8    Stock Compensation Plans
On August 13, 2013,October 31, 2017, the Boardshareowners approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (“the 2017 Plan”) which allows for the issuance of Directors adoptedstock awards, restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards, each of which may include performance-based conditions, to certain employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors. The 2017 Plan authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock, plus approximately 1.2 million unused shares from the former Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“the 2003 Plan”), which.
Stock-based compensation expense was approved by Kimball’s Share Owners on October 15, 2013. Under the 2003 Plan, 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance of new awards$4.2 million, $6.3 million, and awards that had been issued under a former 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The 2003 Plan allows for issuance of restricted stock, restricted share units, unrestricted share grants, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, performance shares, performance units, and stock appreciation rights for grant to officers and other key employees and to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees. The 2003 Plan expires December 31, 2018.
The pre-tax compensation cost from continuing operations charged against income was $5.6 million in both fiscal years 20162018, 2017 and 2015, and $5.5 million in fiscal year 2014.2016, respectively. The total income tax benefit from continuing operations for stock compensation arrangements was $2.2$2.1 million, $2.9 million, and $2.2 million in each fiscal year 2016, 2015,years 2018, 2017 and 2014.2016, respectively. Included in the income tax benefit for fiscal years 2018 and 2017, respectively, was a $0.7 million and $0.5 million reduction in taxes for excess tax benefits from the vesting of stock awards. We generally use treasury shares for issuance of shares.
Performance Shares:
Kimball awardsWe award performance shares to officers and other key employees. Under these awards, a number of shares will be issued to each participant based upon the attainment of the applicable performance conditions as applied to a total potential share award made and approved by the Compensation and Governance Committee. We currently have two types ofCurrently outstanding are long-term performance share awards outstanding, anwith a contractual life of five years. We also award annual performance share awardawards with a contractual life of one year and a long-term performance share award with a contractual life of five years.year. The performance conditions for both types of performance share awards are based on annual performance measurement periods and are vestedperiods. Annual performance shares vest at the end of the fiscal year. Long-term performance shares vest when issued as Common Stock shortly after the end of the fiscal year in which each performance measurement period is complete. Therefore, the long-term performance share awards include shares applicable to performance measurement periods in future fiscal years that will be measured at fair value when the performance targets are established in future fiscal years. The long-term performance share awards areaward is being phased out and will be in effect for another three fiscal years.has only one year remaining. If a participant is not employed on the date long-term performance shares are issued or the date annual performance shares are vested, the performance share award is forfeited, except in the case of death, retirement, at age 62 or older, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in Kimball’sour employment policy. To the extent performance conditions are not fully attained, performance shares are forfeited.

(1) The shares granted include the maximum number of shares that may vest under performance share awards; however, the actual number of shares which vest is determined based on the satisfaction of performance conditions, and therefore may be significantly lower. The shares vested include the earned number of shares to be issued based on performance conditions, while shares forfeited include shares that will not be issued as a result of not fully attaining the maximum performance conditions.
As of June 30, 2016,2018, there was approximately $3.0$0.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to performance shares, based on the latest estimated attainment of performance goals.conditions. That cost is expected to be recognized over annual performance periods ending July 20162018 through July 2019, with a weighted average vesting period of less than one year.year. The fair value of performance shares is based on the stock price at the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on outstanding performance share awards. The weighted average grant date fair value was $12.12$16.62, $11.26, and $14.93$12.12 for performance share awards granted in fiscal years 2018, 2017, and


2016, and 2014, respectively. Awards granted in fiscal year 2014 were based on pre-spin-off stock prices. There were no performance share awards granted in fiscal year 2015 because the awards applicable to the fiscal year 2015 were actually granted shortly before the beginning of fiscal year 2015, in June 2014. During fiscal years 2016, 2015,2018, 2017, and 2014,2016, respectively, 352,924; 649,524;401,833; 294,086; and 512,719352,924 performance shares vested at a fair value of $3.6$4.8 million,, $7.2 $3.6 million,, and $5.6 million. $3.6 million. Annual performance shares that were granted in July 2016 and also in July 2017 vested during fiscal year 2018, as a result of annual performance shares now vesting on June 30 rather than in July. The fair value is equal to the closing price, less the present value of annual dividends, of shares of our Common Stock on the date of the grant.
The performance shares vested represent the total number of shares vested prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. The number of shares presented in the above table, the amounts of unrecognized compensation, and the weighted average period include long-term performance shares awarded that are applicable to futurethe fiscal year 2019 performance measurement periodsperiod and will be measured at fair value when the performance targets are established in future fiscal years.

Relative Total Shareholder Return Performance Units:
Kimball awardsWe award relative total shareholder return performance units (“RTSR”) to key officers. Under these awards, a participant will earn from 0% to 200% of the target award depending upon how the compound annual growth rate of Kimball International common stock ranks within the peer group at the end of the performance period. RTSRs are vested whenat the end of the performance period and are issued as common shares shortly after the performance measurement period is complete and are issued as common shares.complete. The contractual life of the RTSRs is generally three years. The first issuance of RTSR’s in February 2015 was for a period of two years, four months due to a transition of compensation levels shortly after the spin-off of Kimball Electronics. If a participant is not employed on the date shares are issued,vested, the RTSR award is forfeited, except in the case of death, retirement, at age 62 or older, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in Kimball’sour employment policy. To the extent performance conditions are not fully attained, RTSRs are forfeited.

(1) The shares granted include the maximum number of shares that may vest under RTSR awards; however, the actual number of shares which vest is determined based on the satisfaction of performance conditions, and therefore may be significantly lower. The shares vested include the earned number of shares to be issued based on performance conditions, while shares forfeited include shares that will not be issued as a result of not fully attaining the maximum performance conditions.
As of June 30, 2016, assuming a target of 100%,2018, there was approximately $0.5$1.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RTSRs. That cost is expected to be recognized over the vesting periods ending June 20172019 through June 2018,2020, with a weighted average vesting period of approximately one year, sevenfive months. The grant date fair value of RTSR awards was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. This valuation technique includes estimating the movement of stock prices and the effects of volatility, interest rates, and dividends. The weighted average grant date fair value was $15.10$20.65, $13.92, and $11.48$15.10 for RTSR awards granted in fiscal years 20162018, 2017, and 2015,2016, respectively. During fiscal years 2016, 2015,2018 and 2014,2017, 37,535 and 57,375, RTSRs vested at a fair value of $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The RTSR awards vested represent the total number of shares vested prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. During fiscal year 2016, no RTSRs vested.
On May 7, 2018, Robert F. Schneider informed the Board of Directors of Kimball International of his decision to retire as our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chairman of the Board. With the announcement of his plan to retire, the Company and Mr. Schneider entered into an Amendment to Executive’s Terms of Employment (“Amendment”) which modified the terms of his RTSR awards so that a prorated portion of awards vest based on the portion of the applicable performance period that Mr. Schneider works prior to his retirement. The Amendment was determined to be a Type III “Improbable to Probable” modification, as the awards were no longer probable of vesting prior to the Amendment. Because the outstanding RTSR awards were improbable of vesting prior to the modification, the original grant date fair value is no longer used to measure compensation cost for the awards, and the cumulative expense recorded to date was reversed resulting in income of $0.3 million. The fair value of his 83,292 maximum number of RTSR shares that can be earned was re-measured on May 7, 2018, at an aggregate fair value of $1.7 million assuming full vesting of the maximum number of shares (or $1.1 million assuming Mr. Schneider retires on October 31, 2018 and receives a prorated maximum number of shares). We estimated that the vesting conditions of the modified award would be met on his expected retirement date of October 31, 2018, and we are therefore


recognizing his share-based compensation expense for the pro rata number of shares over a requisite service period beginning on May 7, 2018 and ending on October 31, 2018.
Restricted Share Units:
Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) were granted to officers and key employees. Upon vesting, the outstanding number of RSUs and the value of dividends accumulated over the vesting period are converted to shares of common stock. The contractual life of the RSUs is generally three years, however certain awards have shorter or longer contractual lives in order to transition from other types of compensation.compensation or to be used as a long-term retention tool. If the employment of a holder of an RSU terminates before the RSU has vested for any reason other than death, retirement, at age 62 or older, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in the Company’sour employment policy, the RSU and accumulated dividends will be forfeited.

As of June 30, 2016,2018, there was approximately $0.9$2.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSU compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over vesting periods ending October 2018 through June 2017 and June 2018,2021, with a weighted average vesting period of one year, sixfive months. The fair value of RSU awards is based on the stock price at the date of award. The weighted average grant date fair value was $12.19$17.14, $11.85, and $9.15$12.19 for RSU awards granted in fiscal years 20162018, 2017, and 2015,2016, respectively. During fiscal years 2018, 2017, 2016, respectively, 79,315, 86,116, and 2015, respectively, 79,461 and 45,009 RSUs vested at a fair value of $1.2$1.0 million, $0.8 million, and $0.4 million, respectively.$0.7 million. The fair value is equal to the closing price of shares of our Common Stock on the date of the grant. The RSU awards vested represent the total number of shares vested prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.


Mr. Schneider’s Amendment, in conjunction with his expected retirement, modified the terms of his existing RSU awards so that a prorated portion of awards vest based on the portion of the applicable period that Mr. Schneider works prior to his retirement. The Amendment was determined to be a Type III “Improbable to Probable” modification, as the awards were no longer probable of vesting prior to the Amendment. Because the outstanding RSU awards were improbable of vesting prior to the modification, the original grant date fair value is no longer used to measure compensation cost for the awards, and the cumulative expense recorded to date was reversed resulting in income of $0.1 million. The fair value of his 38,921 RSU awards was re-measured on May 7, 2018, at an aggregate fair value of $0.7 million assuming full vesting (or $0.4 million assuming Mr. Schneider retires on October 31, 2018 and receives a prorated number of shares). We estimated that the vesting conditions of the modified award would be met on his expected retirement date of October 31, 2018, and we are therefore recognizing his share-based compensation expense for the pro rata number of shares over a requisite service period beginning on May 7, 2018 and ending on October 31, 2018.
Unrestricted Share Grants:
Unrestricted shares may be granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors as consideration for service to Kimball.Kimball International. Unrestricted share grants do not have vesting periods, holding periods, restrictions on sale, or other restrictions. The fair value of unrestricted shares is based on the stock price at the date of the award. During fiscal yearyears 2018, 2017, and 2016, Kimballrespectively, we granted a total of 38,696, 48,812, and 47,471 unrestricted shares of common stock at an average grant date fair value of $18.31, $14.12, and $11.21 for a total fair value, in thousands, of $709, $689, and $532. Prior to the spin-off, during fiscal year 2015, Kimball granted a total of 17,335 unrestricted shares of Class B common stock at an average grant date fair value of $16.01, for a total fair value, in thousands, of $278. After the spin-off, during fiscal year 2015, Kimball granted a total of 17,529 unrestricted shares of common stock at an average grant date fair value of $8.79, for a total fair value, in thousands, of $154. During fiscal year 2014, Kimball granted a total of 20,277 unrestricted shares of Class B common stock at an average grant date fair value of $11.47, for a total fair value, in thousands, of $233. These shares are the total number of shares granted, prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Unrestricted shares were awarded to officers and other key employees and to non-employee members of the Board of Directors as compensation for director’s fees and as a result of directors’ elections to receive unrestricted shares in lieu of cash payment. Director’s fees are expensed over the period that directors earn the compensation.


Note 9    Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act reduced federal corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018 and changed numerous other provisions. Because Kimball International has a June 30 fiscal year-end, a lower corporate federal income tax rate was being phased in, resulting in a U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 28.1% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The statutory federal tax rate will be 21% in subsequent fiscal years. Fiscal year 2018 included approximately $3.3 million in reduced income tax expense to reflect federal taxes on current year taxable income at the lower blended effective tax rate, partially offset by a discrete tax impact of $1.8 million in additional expense as a result of applying the new lower federal income tax rates to our net tax assets.
The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act. The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued rules that allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. We have finalized recording of the tax impacts of June 30, 2018.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Income tax benefits associated with net operating losses of, in thousands, $2,630$2,179 expire from fiscal year 20162019 to 2036.2036. Income tax benefits associated with tax credit carryforwards of, in thousands, $2,570,$2,168, expire from fiscal year 20162023 to 2028. A valuation allowance was2027. Valuation allowances were provided as of June 30, 20162018 for deferred tax assets relating to state net operating losses of, in thousands, $687$534, and for foreign tax credits of, in thousands, $326, that we currently believe are more likely than not to remain unrealized in the future. In all periods presented, the change in the valuation allowance is reported as a component of income tax expense.

Kimball International, or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to any significant U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2013,2015, and to various state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.2014. We do not expect the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.
We had no net tax impact related to the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings as required by the Tax Act because we utilized available foreign tax credits to offset the transition tax.
We consider the earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside the United States on the basis of estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs. We have not recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately, in thousands, $191 related to the U.S. federal and state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on approximately, in thousands, $589 of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries indefinitely invested outside the United States. Should we decide to repatriate the foreign earnings, we would need to adjust our income tax provision in the period we determined that the earnings will no longer be indefinitely invested outside the United States.
Note 10    Common Stock
On October 30, 2014, holders of a sufficient number of shares of Class A common stock converted such shares into Class B common stock such that the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock was, after such conversions, less than 15% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of both Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation when the number of shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding was reduced to less than 15% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of both Class A common stock and Class B common stock, then all of the rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions relating to Class B common stock shall become the same as the rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of Class A common stock, without any further action of or by the Company’s Share Owners. In addition, all distinctions between Class A common stock and Class B common stock shall be eliminated so that all shares of Class B common stock are equal to shares of Class A common stock with respect to all matters, including without limitation, dividend payments and voting rights. The elimination of such distinctions, which occurred on October 30, 2014, is referred to as the “stock unification.” As a result of the stock unification, Class A common stock and Class B common stock now vote as a single class (except as otherwise required by applicable law) on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s Share Owners. We deregistered our shares of Class A common stock under the Exchange Act effective in September 2015. Deregistration did not affect the rights of Share Owners who chose to continue to hold their Class A shares.


Note 11    Fair Value
Kimball categorizesWe categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2:  Observable inputs other than those included in level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
Our policy is to recognize transfers between these levels as of the end of each quarterly reporting period. There were no transfers between these levels during fiscal years 20162018 and 20152017.
We investedhold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, consisting of $0.5 million in non-marketable equity securities of a privately-held company during fiscal year 2016. Thisand $1.5 million in stock warrants. The investment in non-marketable equity securities is classified as a level 3 financial asset and is accounted for using the cost method, as explained in the Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value section below. The investment in stock warrants is also classified as a level 3 financial asset and is accounted for as a derivative instrument valued on a recurring basis, as explained in the Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value section below. See Note 12 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in non-marketable equity securities, and Note 11 - Derivative Instrumentsof Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in stock warrants. No other purchases or sales of level 3 assets occurred during the fiscal years ended June 30, 20162018 and 2015.2017.
In connection with the acquisition of D’style, we valued long-lived and intangible assets at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value estimates for intangible assets were based upon assumptions related to the future cash flows and discount rates utilizing currently available information, and in some cases, valuation results from independent valuation specialists (Level 3 determination of fair value).  Subsequent to the acquisition, we determine the fair value of our long-lived and intangible assets on a non-recurring basis in connection with our periodic evaluations of such assets for potential impairment and record impairment charges when such fair value estimates are lower than the carrying values of the assets. As part of the acquisition, contingent earn-out payments up to $2.2 million may be paid based upon fiscal year 2018 and 2019


D’style, Inc. operating income compared to a predetermined target for each fiscal year. As of the November 6, 2017 acquisition date, the fair value of the earn-out liability was $1.7 million.  The liability is carried at fair value and is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  During fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability was adjusted to $1.1 million, resulting in a $0.6 million pre-tax gain, recognized as $0.8 million pre-tax gain included in Selling and Administrative Expenses, offset in part by $0.2 million of Interest Expense attributable to an adjustment of the contingent earn-out liability that will be based upon fiscal year 2018 and 2019 D’style, Inc. operating income compared to a predetermined target for each fiscal year.

The nonqualified supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) assets consist primarily of equity funds, balanced funds, a bond fund, and a money market fund. The SERP investment assets are offset by a SERP liability which represents Kimball’sour obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. See Note 1312 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements:
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments when events or circumstances indicate a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the asset. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.
Non-recurring fair value adjustment Level Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
Impairment of assets held for sale (real estate and property &(transportation equipment) 3 Market - Quoted market prices for similar assets sold, adjusted for features specific to the asset


During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015,2017, we classified an aircraftour fleet of over-the-road tractors and trailers as held for sale and recognized pre-tax impairment of $1.1$0.2 million due toas the book value ofexceeded the aircraft exceeding current$4.2 million fair market value estimates less selling costs. The aircraft was sold later in fiscal


year 2015 at a pre-tax gain of $0.2 million. During fiscal year 2014, we classified another aircraft as held for sale and recognized pre-tax impairment of $1.2 million due to a significant downward shift in the market for private aviation aircraft. The aircraft was subsequently sold during fiscal year 2014. Our former EMS segment sold a facility and land located in Gaylord, Michigan, recognizing a pre-tax loss of $0.3 million during fiscal year 2014.
Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value:
Financial instruments that are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that have carrying amounts which approximate fair value include the following:
Financial Instrument Level Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
Notes receivable 2 Market - Price approximated based on the assumed collection of receivables in the normal course of business, taking into account the customer’s non-performance risk
Non-marketable equity securities (cost-method investments, which carry shares at cost except in the event of impairment) 3 Cost Method, with Impairment Recognized Usingimpairment recognized using a Market-Based Valuation Techniquemarket-based valuation technique - See the explanation below the table regarding the method used to periodically estimate the fair value of cost-method investments.
Long-term debt (carried at amortized cost) 3 Income - Price estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on quoted long-term debt market rates, taking into account Kimball’sKimball International’s non-performance risk
InvestmentsThe investment in non-marketable equity securities areis accounted for using the cost method because Kimball doeswe do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. On a periodic basis, but no less frequently than quarterly, these investments are assessed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment were to occur and was deemed to be other-than-temporary, the fair value of the investment would be estimated, and the amount by which the carrying value of the cost-method investment exceeds its fair value would be recorded as an impairment loss.
The carrying value of our cash deposit accounts, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and dividends payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity and immaterial non-performance risk.
Note 1211    Derivative Instruments
Our former EMS segment, classified as a discontinued operation, operatedForeign Exchange Contracts:
We operate internationally and wasare therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business. The primary means of managing this exposure was to utilize natural hedges, such as aligning currencies used in the supply chain with the sale currency. To the extent natural hedging techniques did not fully offset currency risk, derivative instruments were used with the objective of reducing the residual exposure to certain foreign currency rate movements. Factors considered in the decision to hedge an underlying market exposure included the materiality of the risk, the volatility of the market, the duration of the hedge, the degree to which the underlying exposure was committed to, and the availability, effectiveness, and cost of derivative instruments. Derivative instruments were only utilized for risk management purposes and were not used for speculative or trading purposes.
Forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were used to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Foreign exchange contracts were also used to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks related to intercompany balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies. In limited cases due to unexpected changes in forecasted transactions, cash flow hedges may have ceased to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedges. Depending on the type of exposure hedged, either a derivative contract in the opposite position of the undesignated hedge may have been purchased or the hedge may have been retained until it matured if the hedge had continued to provide an adequate offset in earnings against the currency revaluation impact of foreign currency denominated liabilities.
As of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, after2018, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts to hedge currencies against the spin-offU.S. dollar in the aggregate notional amount of $0.7 million. The notional amount is an indicator of the EMS segment, we held novolume of derivative instruments. During fiscal years 2015 and 2014, prior toactivities but is not an indicator of the spin-off, for derivative instruments that met the criteria of hedging instruments under FASB guidance, the effective portions of thepotential gain or loss on the derivatives.
Based on fair values as of June 30, 2018, we estimate that approximately $10 thousand of pre-tax derivative instrument were initially recorded net of related tax effectloss deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income a component of Share Owners’ Equity, and were subsequently(Loss) will be reclassified into earnings, along with the earnings effects of related forecasted transactions, within the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. Losses on foreign exchange contracts are generally offset by gains in operating costs in the period or periods during whichincome statement when the underlying hedged transaction wasis recognized in earnings. Because gains or losses on foreign exchange contracts fluctuate partially based on currency spot rates, the future effect on earnings of the cash flow hedges alone is not determinable, but in conjunction with the underlying hedged transactions, the result is expected to be a decline in currency risk. The gain or loss associated with derivative instruments that were not designatedmaximum length of time we had hedged our exposure to the variability in future cash flows was 4 months as hedging instruments or that ceased to meet the criteria for hedging under FASB guidance was recognized in earnings.of June 30, 2018.


Stock Warrants:
We hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, including $1.5 million in stock warrants purchased during fiscal year 2017. The investment in stock warrants is accounted for as a derivative instrument and is included in the Other Assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The stock warrants are convertible into equity shares of the privately-held company upon achieving certain milestones. The value of the stock warrants will fluctuate primarily in relation to the value of the privately-held company's underlying securities, either providing an appreciation in value or potentially expiring with no value. During the year ended June 30, 2018, the change in fair value of the stock warrants was not significant. See Note 1710 - Comprehensive IncomeFair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the amountvaluation of these securities.

Note 12    Investments
Investment Portfolio:
Our investment portfolio consists of municipal bonds, certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market, and U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. Municipal bonds include general obligation bonds and revenue bonds, some of which are pre-refunded. U.S. Treasury securities represent Treasury Bills and Notes of the U.S. government. Federal agency securities represent debt securities of a U.S. government sponsored agency, and certain of these securities are callable. Our investment policy dictates that municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities must be investment grade quality. Our secondary market certificates of deposit are classified as investment securities, being purchased in the secondary market through a broker and available to be sold in the secondary market. All certificates of deposit are FDIC insured.
Our investment portfolio is available for use in current operations, therefore investments are recorded within Current Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contractual maturities of our investment portfolio were as follows (maturity dates for municipal bonds are based on pre-refunded dates and maturity dates for government agency securities are based on the first available call date, if applicable):

All investments are classified as available-for-sale securities which are recorded at fair value. See Note 10 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the fair value of available-for-sale securities. The amortized cost basis reflects the original purchase price, with discounts and premiums amortized over the life of the available-for-sale securities. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in earnings when there is intent to sell or it is likely to be required to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the available-for-sale securities have incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and losses deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan Investments:
Kimball maintainsWe maintain a self-directed supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) in which executive employees are eligible to participate. The SERP utilizes a rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy. Kimball recognizesWe recognize SERP investment assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets representing an obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. The SERP investment assets are classified as trading, and accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income in the Other Income (Expense) category. Adjustments made to revalue the SERP liability are also recognized in income as selling and administrative expenses and offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets. Net unrealized holding gains (losses) from continuing operations for securities held at June 30, 20162018, , 20152017, and 20142016 were, in thousands, $(484)585, $(644)223, and $(72)(484), respectively.

Note 1615    Earnings Per Share
As a result of the October 30, 2014 stock unification, as further discussed in Note 10 - Common Stock of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, all distinctions between Class A common stock and Class B common stock were eliminated so that all shares of Class B common stock are equal to shares of Class A common stock with respect to all matters, including without limitation, dividend payments and voting rights. Therefore, beginning in fiscal year 2016 the earnings per share calculation includes all common stock in a single calculation. Prior to fiscal year 2016, earnings per share were computed using the two-class common stock method due to the dividend preference of Class B Common Stock which was in effect until the October 30, 2014 stock unification. 
Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the assumed issuance of common shares and related payment of assumed dividends for all potentially dilutive securities.

Note 1817   Restructuring Expense
During fiscal year 2018, we recognized no restructuring expense as the restructuring plan was complete. We recognized a pre-tax restructuring gain of $1.8 million in fiscal year 2017 which included a gain on the sale of the Post Falls facility. In fiscal year 2016, we recognized pre-tax restructuring expense related to continuing operations, in millions,$7.3 million. As of $7.3 and $5.3 in fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively. ThereJune 30, 2018, we had no remaining restructuring liability as the June 30, 2017 balance of less than $0.1 million was no restructuring related to continuing operations inpaid during fiscal year 2014. We utilize available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of impaired fixed assets. Restructuring charges related to continuing operations are included in the Restructuring Expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income.2018.
Capacity Utilization Restructuring Plan:
In November 2014, we announced a capacity utilization restructuring plan which included the consolidation of our metal fabrication production from an operation located in Post Falls, Idaho, into existing production facilities in Indiana, and the reduction of our Company plane fleet from two jets to one.
The transfer of work from our Idaho facility involved the start-up of metal fabrication capabilities in an existing Company-owned facility, along with the transfer of certain assembly operations into two additional existing Company-owned facilities, all located in southern Indiana. All production was transferred out of the Idaho facility as of March 2016. Work continues2016, after which work continued during fiscal year 2017 in the Indiana facilities to train employees, ramp up production and eliminate the inefficiencies associated with the start-up of production in these facilities. We anticipate theThe improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and reduction of transportation costs will generategenerated pre-tax annual pre-tax savings of approximately $5 million with savings beginning to ramp up in our first quarter ending September 2016. We expect to achieve the full savings level by the end offiscal year 2017. In addition, during fiscal year 2017, we sold our second quarter ending December 31, 2016. We were actively marketing for sale thePost Falls, Idaho facility and land which was classified as held for sale. Therefore, fiscal year 2017 restructuring includes a pre-tax gain of $2.1 million as the $12.0 million selling price net of selling costs exceeded the book value of the facility and land.
The restructuring plan is complete with pre-tax restructuring totaling $10.8 million. Excluding the pre-tax gain from the sale as of June 30, 2016. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, we sold the Idaho facility and land which is explained in Note 21 - Subsequent Eventsof Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


The reduction of our plane fleet from two jets to one reduced our cost structure while aligning$2.1 million, the plane fleet size with our needs following the spin-off of Kimball Electronics on October 31, 2014. Previously, one of our jets was used primarily for the successful strategy of transporting customers to visit our showrooms, offices, research and development center, and manufacturing locations, while the remaining jet was used primarily for management travel. The plane used primarily for management travel was sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. The sale of the plane resulted in a $0.2 million pre-tax gain in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 which partially offset the impairment charge of $1.1 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015. As a result of the aircraft fleet reduction, our annual pre-tax savings are $0.8 million. In regards to the remaining jet, we believe that our location in rural Jasper, Indiana and the location of our manufacturing locations in small towns away from major metropolitan areas necessitates the need for the remaining jet to efficiently transport customers.
We currently estimate that the pre-tax restructuring charges will be approximately $12.7 million, of which $7.3 million was recorded in fiscal year 2016 and $5.3 million was recorded in fiscal year 2015. The restructuring chargesexpense consisted of approximately $4.9 million of transition, training, and other employee costs, $6.6$6.9 million of plant closure and other exit costs, and $1.1 million of non-cash asset impairment. Approximately 91% of the total cost estimate is expected to berestructuring expense was cash expense. The total expected plan costs as
We utilized available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of June 30, 2016 do not include a $2.1 million gain on the sale of the Post Falls land and facility which occurred subsequent to June 30, 2016 which will partially offset the total expected plan costs.

Discontinued Restructuring Plan Activities:
Restructuring activities related to the EMS segment are included in the discontinued operationsRestructuring (Gain) Expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income, and totaled $0.4 million in fiscal year 2014. We had no restructuring expense related to discontinued operations in fiscal years 2016 and 2015. These discontinued operations restructuring plans were completed prior to fiscal year 2013 but continued to incur miscellaneous exit costs related to facility clean up or market value adjustments. These completed restructuring plans include the European Consolidation, Fremont, and Gaylord plans which were all related to the discontinued EMS segment.Income.
Note 1918    Variable Interest Entities
Kimball’sOur involvement with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) areis limited to situations in which we are not the primary beneficiary as we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Thus, consolidation is not required. Our involvement with VIEs consists of an investment in a privately-held company consisting of non-marketable equity securities of a privately-held company, a noteand stock warrants, and notes receivable related to the sale of the Indiana facility, and a note receivable for start-up financing of a new independent dealership.


dealership financing.
The non-marketable equity securities and stock warrants were valued at $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, at both June 30, 2016,2018 and areJune 30, 2017 and were included in the Other Assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information related to our investment in the privately-held company, see Note 1110 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The carrying value of the notenotes receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility,for independent dealership financing were $0.6 million, net of a $0.5$0.1 million allowance, was $0.8and $0.4 million as of June 30, 20162018 and wasJune 30, 2017, respectively, and were included on the Receivables line of our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as the entire note receivable is now short-term. As of June 30, 2015, the carrying value of the note receivable, net of a $0.5 million allowance, was $0.9 million with the short-term portion of the carrying value included on the Receivables line and the long-term portion of the carrying value included on the Other Assets line of our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The carrying value of the note receivable for start-up financing of a new independent dealership was $0.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and was included on the Other Assets linelines of our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We have no obligation to provide additional funding to the VIEs, and thus our exposure and risk of loss related to the VIEs is limited to the carrying value of the investment and notes receivable. Financial support provided by Kimball International to the VIEs was limited to the items discussed above during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.2018.


Note 2019   Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses of Notes Receivable
Kimball monitorsWe monitor credit quality and associated risks of notes receivable on an individual basis based on criteria such as financial stability of the party and collection experience in conjunction with general economic and market conditions. We hold collateral for the note receivable from the sale of an Indiana facility thereby mitigating the risk of loss. Dealer lending represents start-up financing for a new independent dealership. As of June 30, 20162018 and 2015, Kimball2017, we had no material past due outstanding notes receivable.
