During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we changed the names of our reportable segments to better align with our key customers and the markets we serve. This decision resulted in a change from a financial reporting perspective as the industrial biological and chemical indicator business has moved from the Dental segment to the Life Sciences segment. Prior year segment disclosures have been recast to conform to the current year presentation. See Note 15, “Reportable Segments.”
Cantel is a leading provider of infection prevention products and services in the healthcare market, specializing in the following reportable segments: Endoscopy, Water PurificationMedical, Life Sciences, Dental and Filtration, Healthcare Disposables and Dialysis. See Note 14, “Reportable Segments.” Most of our equipment, consumables and supplies are used to help prevent the occurrence or spread of infections.
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10.01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report of Cantel Medical Corp. on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 20172018 (the “2017“2018 Form 10-K”) and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included elsewhere herein. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 20172018 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of Cantel at that date. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Subsequent Events
We performed a review of events subsequent to April 30, 2018January 31, 2019 through the date of issuance of the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements.
2.           Accounting Pronouncements
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (Topic 805)” (“ASU 2015-16”). The new guidance requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize a measurement-period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount, and eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. The acquirer must also disclose the amounts and reasons for adjustments to the provisional amounts. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (our fiscal year 2018), including interim periods within that reporting period. Accordingly, we adopted ASU 2015-06 on August 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-06 did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330) Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). The new guidance requires companies using the first-in, first-out and average costs methods to measure inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value, where net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (our fiscal year 2018), including interim periods within that reporting period. Accordingly, we adopted ASU 2015-11 on August 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)” (“ASU 2017-01”) to clarify the definition of a business. The revised guidance creates a more robust framework to use in determining whether a set of assets and activities is a business. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis on or after the effective date. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal year 2019), including interim periods within that reporting period. We early adopted ASU-2017-01 on August 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,“Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”) to allow for the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal

years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal year 2020), including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”) to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal year 2020), including interim periods within that reporting period. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-12 on our financial position and results of operations.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting”Accounting,” (“ASU 2017-09”) to provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in TopicASC 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal year 2019), including interim periods within that reporting period. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impactAccordingly, we adopted ASU 2017-09 on August 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have a material impact on our financial position, and results of operations.operations and cash flows.

In January 2017,August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,2016-15, Intangibles - Goodwill(Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Other”Cash Payments, (“ASU 2017-04”2016-15”). This guidance makes eight targeted changes to simplifyhow cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the test for goodwill impairment. The revised guidance eliminates the existing Step 2statement of the goodwill impairment test which required an entity to compute the implied fair value of its goodwill at the testing date in order to measure the amount of the impairment charge when the fair value of the reporting unit failed Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. Under the revised guidance, an entity would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized would not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis on or after the effective date.cash flows. ASU 2017-042016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 20192017 (our fiscal year 2021) and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed2019). Accordingly, we adopted ASU 2016-15 on testing dates after JanuaryAugust 1, 2017.2018. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is2016-15 did not expected to have a significantmaterial impact on our financial position, and results of operations.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The new guidance requires the recording of assetsoperations and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet accompanied by enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. The new guidance is expected to provide transparency of information and comparability among organizations. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal year 2020), including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on our financial position and results of operations.cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”), which will supersedesupersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”). ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),”(“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal year 2019), including interim periods within that reporting period. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2016-12”), which provided narrow scope improvements and practical expedients relating to ASU 2014-09. In preparation for our adoption of ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-12We adopted the collective standard (“ASC 606”) on August 1, 2018, we have obtained representative samples of contracts and other forms of agreements with our customers in the United States and in our international locations and continue to evaluate the provisions contained therein in light2018. See Note 5, “Revenue Recognition” for a discussion of the five-step model specified by the new guidance. We continue to evaluate the impact of the new standard on certain common practices currently employed by us and by other health care manufacturers and service providers, such as multiple-element arrangements, deferred revenues, warranties, rebates and other pricing allowances. We anticipate adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method. There may be differences in timing of revenue recognition under the new standard compared to recognition under ASC 605.required disclosures.

ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019 (our fiscal year 2021) and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

5.    Revenue Recognition

Adoption of “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)”

We adopted ASC 606, effective August 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of August 1, 2018. Results for reporting beginning after August 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605.

Due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606, we recorded a net increase of $865 to opening retained earnings, net of tax, as of August 1, 2018. The impact is primarily related to the timing of revenue recognition for the shipment of products in both our Medical and Life Sciences segments where risk of loss provisions are present (“synthetic FOB destination”). The new standard does not require us to defer revenue for these products and allows us to recognize revenue at the time of shipment. The cumulative adjustment to retained earnings also includes the impact of the change in timing of revenue recognition associated with software licensing arrangements in our Medical segment. Additionally, revenue related to software renewals was historically recognized on a ratable basis over the license period. Under ASC 606, the license is considered functional intellectual property, and is considered to be transferred to the customer at a point in time, specifically, at the start of each annual renewal period. As a result, revenue related to our annual software license renewals has been accelerated.

Revenue Recognition

A portion of our medical, life sciences and dialysis sales include multiple performance obligations, whereby revenue is allocated to the equipment, installation and consumable components based upon their relative standalone selling prices, which includes comparable historical transactions of similar equipment, installation and consumables sold as stand-alone components. Revenue on capital equipment and consumables is recognized when control of the equipment or consumable transfers to the customer, which is generally driven by the underlying shipping terms of the transaction. Revenue on the installation component is recognized when the installation is complete. The most significant judgments related to these arrangements include identifying the various performance obligations of these arrangements and determining the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

With respect to certain of our customers, rebates are provided. Such rebates, which consist primarily of volume rebates, are provided for as a reduction of sales at the time of revenue recognition. Such allowances are determined based on estimated projections of sales volume for the entire rebate periods. If it becomes known that sales volume to customers will deviate from original projections, the rebate provisions originally established would be adjusted accordingly. We also offer certain volume-based rebates to our distribution customers, which we record as variable consideration when calculating the transaction price. We use information available at the time and our historical experience with each customer to estimate the rebate amount by applying the expected value method.

Remaining Performance Obligations

At January 31, 2019, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) was approximately $67,281, primarily within the Medical segment. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 65% of these remaining performance obligations over the remainder of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020. These performance obligations primarily reflect the future product service revenues for multi-period service arrangements.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities primarily relate to payments received from customers in advance of performance under the contract. Our contract liabilities arise primarily in the Medical and Life Sciences segments when payment is received upfront for various multi-period extended service arrangements. We expect to recognize substantially all of this revenue over the next twelve months.

Practical Expedients and Policy Elections

As part of the cost to obtain a contract, we may pay incremental commissions to sales employees upon entering into a sales contract. Under ASC 606, we have elected to expense these costs as incurred when the period of benefit is less than one year. For certain multi-period contracts, we capitalize these amounts as contract costs, and amortize them based on the contract duration to which the assets relate, which ranges from two to five years. The amounts at January 31, 2019, were not material. For certain international contracts with distributors, we recognize a receivable at the point in time in which we have an unconditional right to payment. Most customers are required to pay a portion of the transaction price in advance and the remaining balance within 30 days of


(dollar amounts in thousands except share and per share data or as otherwise noted) 11


Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2019 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

receiving the related products. Accordingly, we have elected to use the practical expedient which allows us to ignore the possible existence of a significant financing component within these contracts.

As a policy, for shipping and handling costs incurred after the customer has obtained control of a good, we will continue to treat these costs as a fulfillment cost rather than as an additional promised service. Additionally, in certain U.S. states, we are required to collect sales taxes from our customers, and in certain international jurisdictions, we are required to collect value added taxes. The tax collected is recorded as a liability until remitted to the taxing authority.

6.7.    Derivatives
In order to hedge against the impact of fluctuations in the value of the Euro, British Pound, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and Singapore dollar relative to the U.S. dollar on the conversion of such net assets into the functional currencies, we enter into short-term forward contracts to purchase Euros, British Pounds, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and Singapore dollars, which contracts are one-month in duration. These short-term contracts are designated as fair value hedge instruments. These foreign currency forward contracts are continually replaced with new one-month contracts as long as we have significant net assets that are denominated and ultimately settled in currencies other than each entity’s functional currency. Gains and losses related to hedging contracts to buy Euros, British Pounds, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and Singapore dollars forward are immediately realized within general and administrative expenses due to the short-term nature of such contracts. We do not currently hedge against the impact of fluctuations in the value of the Chinese Renminbi and Sri Lankan Rupee relative to the U.S. dollar because the overall foreign currency exposure relating to these currencies is currently not deemed significant.material.

There were eightseven foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional value of $29,897$62,904 and $24,762$30,159 at April 30, 2018January 31, 2019 and July 31, 2017,2018, respectively, which covered certain assets and liabilities that were denominated in currencies other than each entity’s functional currency. For the three and ninesix months ended April 30,January 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, the settlements of our forward contracts resulted in immaterial amounts of currency conversion gains and losses on the hedged items in the aggregate.

7.8.    Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
 
We apply the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (“ASC 820”), for our financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value each reporting period and our nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis. We define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three level fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in valuations, as defined below:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2018 Third Quarter Form 10-Q

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
 
Our financial assets that are re-measured at fair value on a recurring basis include money market funds that are classified as cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. These money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and are valued using quoted market prices for identical assets.

For the Aexis Medical acquisition, additional purchase price payments ranging from zero to $1,850 are contingent upon the achievement of certain purchase order targets through March 21, 2020. We estimated the original fair value of the contingent consideration using the weighted probabilities of the possible contingent payments. As ofAt the date of acquisition, we estimated the original fair value of the contingent consideration to be $1,292. We are required to reassess the fair value of contingent payments on a periodic basis. The significant inputs used in these estimates include numerous possible scenarios for the payments based on the contractual terms of the contingent consideration, for which probabilities are assigned to each scenario. Given the short term nature of the


(dollar amounts in thousands except share and per share data or as otherwise noted) 12


Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2019 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

financial instrument, the contingent consideration willis not be discounted to present value. Although we believe our assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions or changes in the future may result in different estimated amounts.

In connection with the Jet Prep Ltd. ("(“Jet Prep"Prep”) acquisition in fiscal 2014, we assumed a contingent obligation payable to the Israeli Government based on future sales. This fair value measurement was based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements. In November 2017, the Israeli Government formally notified us that they would forgive any future amounts payable due to our decision to exit the Jet Prep business. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we reduced the fair value of this obligation to $0.zero. See Note 10, "Commitments11, “Commitments and Contingencies."

All of our outstanding borrowings were under LIBOR contracts at April 30, 2018.January 31, 2019. The 20142018 Credit Agreement also provides for fees on the unused portion of our facility at rates ranging from 0.20% to 0.40%0.35%, depending upon our Consolidated Leverage Ratio, which was 0.20% at April 30, 2018.January 31, 2019.

the term of the credit facilities. As of April 30, 2018 and July 31, 2017, such debt issuance costs, net of related amortization, were included in other assets, and amounted to $334 and $580, respectively.

10.11.    Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Consideration and Assumed Contingent Liability

At January 31, 2019, $1,352 was recorded related to the Aexis acquisition, which is for the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable upon the achievement of certain purchase order targets through March 21, 2020. During fiscal 2017, we decided to exit the Jet Prep business that was acquired in fiscal 2014. At the time of the acquisition, we assumed a contingent obligation payable to the Israeli Government based on future sales. In November 2017, the Israeli Government formally notified us that they would forgive any future amounts payable due to our decision to exit the Jet Prep business. As a result of this formal notification, we reduced the $1,138 contingent obligation to $0zero during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, resulting in a benefit through other income for the ninesix months ended April 30,January 31, 2018.

Legal Matters

In May 2017, Cantel Medical (UK) Limited and Cantel (UK) Limited filed a lawsuit in the UK High Court of Justice against ARC Medical Design Limited (“ARC”) seeking a judgment of invalidity on two of ARC’s patents and additionally/alternatively a declaration of non-infringement of our AmplifEYETM Endoscopic device. ARC filed counterclaims alleging that the AmplifEYETM device infringed the two patents as well as registered community design marks and unregistered design rights that ARC had in its EndocuffTM and Endocuff VisionTM devices. In February 2018, the trial judge entered a judgment in favor of ARC, and we decided not to appeal the decision. We entered into a settlement agreement with ARC in March 2018 under which we agreed not to make, use, sell or offer to sell the AmplifEYETM device in the European Union until ARC’s rights expire, and reimbursed ARC for a portion of their legal costs. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded $2,608 of litigation costs within selling, general and administrative expenses associated with this matter.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to pending and threatened legal actions. It is our policy to accrue for amounts related to these legal matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount of anticipated exposure can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any of these pending claims or legal actions will have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

11.12.    Earnings Per Common Share

Basic EPS is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted EPS is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method and the average market price of our common stock for the year. We include participating securities (nonvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents) in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Our participating securities consist solely of nonvested restricted stock awards, which have contractual participation rights equivalent to those of stockholders of unrestricted common stock. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an allocation method that calculates earnings per share for common stock and participating securities.

12.13.    Income Taxes
 
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted wide-ranging tax legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”). The 2017 Tax Act significantly revisesrevised U.S. tax law by, among other provisions, (a) lowering the applicable U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (b) creating a partial territorial tax system that includes imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax on previously deferred foreign earnings, (c) creating provisions regarding the (1) Global Intangible Low Tax Income (“GILTI”), (2) the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) deduction, and (3) the Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax (“BEAT”), and (d) eliminating or reducing certain income tax deductions, such as interest expense, executive compensation expenses and certain employee expenses.

ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. However, due to the complexity and significance of the 2017 Tax Act’s provisions, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which allows companies to record the tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act on a provisional basis based on a reasonable estimate and then, if necessary, subsequently adjust such amounts during a limited measurement period as more information becomes available. The measurement period ends when a company has obtained, prepared, and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting, but cannot extend beyond one year from enactment. As a result, we provided a provisional estimate of the effect of the Tax Act for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018, and recorded a net benefit of $8,657 due to the impact on our deferred taxes


(dollar amounts in thousands except share and per share data or as otherwise noted) 1516
   


Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2018 Third2019 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

on the basis of the actual fiscal 2018 results of operations. The measurement period provided by SAB 118 concluded during the second quarter of fiscal 2019, and no material adjustments were made to the provisional estimates recorded.

As part of U.S. tax reform, the 2017 Tax Act imposed a one-time transition tax on certain accumulated positive foreign earnings (net of foreign deficits) across all non-U.S. subsidiaries, as computed under U.S. tax principles. As of December 31, 2017, our non-U.S. subsidiaries were in a net foreign deficit position in the aggregate, and therefore no accrual for the transition tax was made.

Section 15 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) governs rate changes and was not amended by the 2017 Tax Act. Section 15 requires a blended tax rate for fiscal-year taxpayers for their fiscal year that includes the effective date of the rate change, which was January 1, 2018. As a result of the 2017 Tax Act, we revised our estimated annual effective rate to reflect the change in the U.S. federal statutory rate by computing a tentative tax under both rates, and then prorating the tentative tax based on the number of days with and without the rate change to arrive at a blended tax rate of 26.9%, as required by the code.Code. This blended rate was applied for fiscal 2018 (beginning with the second quarter) and the new U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% will applyapplies to fiscal 2019 and beyond. 

During the second quarter ended January 31, 2018, we recorded a net benefit of $8,398 to the income tax provision as a provisional estimate of the net accounting impact ofAs noted above, the 2017 Tax Act in accordance with SAB 118. The net benefit is comprised ofalso establishes new tax laws that will affect the following: (i) expense of $294fiscal year ending July 31, 2019, which include the GILTI provision, the FDII deduction, a new minimum tax related to the mandatory transition tax for deemed repatriation of deferredpayments to foreign incomesubsidiaries and (ii) a benefit of $8,692 related to a revaluation of our deferred tax assetsaffiliates known as BEAT and liabilities. During the third quarter ended April 30, 2018, we reduced the mandatory transition tax by $294.

Given the significant complexity of the 2017 Tax Act, anticipated guidance from the U.S. Treasury concerning implementation of the 2017 Tax Act, and the potential for additional guidance from the SEC or the FASB related to the 2017 Tax Act, the provisional estimates we recorded may require adjustment during the measurement period.certain employee expense deductions. The provisional estimates were based on our understanding of the 2017 Tax Act and other information available at the time of the estimates, including assumptions and expectations about future events, such as projected financial performance, and are subject to further refinement as additional information becomes available, (including our actual full fiscal 2018 results of operations, as well asincluding potential new or interpretative guidance issued by the SEC, the FASB, or the Internal Revenue Service) and as we continue our analysis. We continue to analyze the changes to certain income tax deductions, assess calculations of earnings and profits in certain foreign subsidiaries, including whether those earnings are held in cash or other assets, and gather additional data to compute the full impact of the 2017 Tax Act on our deferred and current tax assets and liabilities. Furthermore, such analysis includes but is not limited to provisions regarding the GILTI and certain employee expense deductions, as well as the state tax impact of the 2017 Tax Act. During the third quarter ended April 30, 2018, we reduced the mandatory transition tax by $294. We are currently in the process of further analyzing its structure and estimated future results and, as a result, are not yet able to reasonably estimate the effect of these provisions of the 2017 Tax Act.IRS.

A reconciliation of the consolidated effective income tax rate from the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2018 is as follows:

ASC 740 requires the effects of changes in tax laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted, including the revaluation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities. During the second quarterthree months ended January 31, 2018, we recorded a one-time net benefit of $8,398 to the income tax provision as a provisional estimate of the net accounting impact of the 2017 Tax Act in accordance with SAB 118.

Legal Matter

In May 2017, Cantel Medical (UK) Limited and Cantel (UK) Limited filed a lawsuit in the UK High Court of Justice against ARC Medical Design Limited (“ARC”) seeking a judgment of invalidity on two of ARC’s patents and additionally/alternatively a declaration of non-infringement of our AmplifEYETM Endoscopic device. ARC filed counterclaims alleging that the AmplifEYETM device infringed the two patents as well as registered community design marks and unregistered design rights that ARC had in its EndocuffTM and Endocuff VisionTM devices. In February 2018, the trial judge entered a judgment in favor of ARC, and we decided not to appeal the decision. We entered into a settlement agreement with ARC in March 2018 under which we agreed not to make, use, sell or offer to sell the AmplifEYETM device in the European Union until ARC’s rights expire, and reimbursed ARC for a portion of their legal costs. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded $2,608 of litigation costs associated with this matter.

Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2018 Third2019 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

January 31, 2019 compared with the six months ended January 31, 2018, which consisted of 5.2% organic sales decrease and a decrease of 0.3% due to foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 3.7% increase due to acquisitions. The decreases in sales for the three and six month periods were primarily due to continued softness in demand for capital equipment, primarily in the medical water business, partially offset by acquisition-related growth. We expect this continued softness in demand to continue in the upcoming quarters as orders for our hemodialysis water business were down this quarter, as a result of a key customer moving toward a dual source approach and a cyclical downturn in this channel. For a more detailed discussion on the competitive threat to our hemodialysis water business, see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Dental. Net sales remained relatively flat as they decreased by $157 or 0.4%, for the three months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended January 31, 2018. Net sales decreased by $1,206 or 1.6%, for the six months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the six months ended January 31, 2018. The decrease for the six month period was primarily driven by a decrease in sales to our distributor network due to inventory adjustments within our channel at the start of this fiscal year, partially offset by acquisition-related growth.

Dialysis.Net sales increased by $214 or 2.7%, for the three months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended January 31, 2018, Net sales increased by $344 or 2.2%, for the six months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the six months ended January 31, 2018. The increases in sales for the three and six month periods were primarily due to the increase in sales volume for our domestic concentrate.

Gross Profit
Gross profit increased by $3,440 or 3.4%, to $104,675 for the three months ended January 31, 2019 from $101,235 for the three months ended January 31, 2018. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 was 46.6% and 47.5%, respectively. Gross profit increased by $8,030 or 4.0%, to $209,924 for the six months ended January 31, 2019 from $201,894 for the six months ended January 31, 2018. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 was 46.6% and 47.4%, respectively. The decreases in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2019 were due to increased labor costs resulting from livable wage increases, and the reclassification of good sold,certain compensation and benefit-related costs that had previously been recorded in operating expenses into cost of sales. The reclassification of certain compensation and benefit-related costs negatively impacted gross profit as a percentage of net sales by approximately 0.4% for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2019. Excluding the impact of acquisition-related and restructuring-related items, gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, was 46.6% and 47.8%, respectively, and for the six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, was 46.7% and 48.1%, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 was 34.9% and 32.3%, respectively. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 was 34.6% and 32.3%, respectively. As stated above, there was a reclassification of certain compensation and benefit-related costs that had previously been recorded in operating expenses into cost of sales, which positively impacted operating expenses as a percentage of net sales by approximately 0.7% in each of0.4% for the three month and ninesix month periods ended April 30, 2017.January 31, 2019.

Selling expenses increased by $2,743$2,276 or 9.0%7.4%, to $33,252$33,198 for the three months ended April 30, 2018January 31, 2019 from $30,509$30,922 for the three months ended April 30, 2017, and by $10,462 or 12.3%, to $95,774 for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 from $85,312 for the nine months ended April 30, 2017.January 31, 2018. Selling expenses increased by $4,634 or 7.4%, to $67,156 for the six months ended January 31, 2019 from $62,522 for the six months ended January 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher sales incentive compensation-related costs primarily in our Endoscopy segment, additional sales and marketing initiatives to expand into new markets (including international markets) and the inclusion of selling and marketing expenses of our recent acquisitions.acquisitions, and to a lesser extent higher compensation-related costs. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales were 15.3%14.8% and 15.9%14.5% for the three months ended April 30,January 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, andrespectively. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales were 14.9% and 15.1%14.7% for the ninesix months ended April 30,January 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively.
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $8,580$5,170 or 29.4%16.1%, to $37,784$37,358 for the three months ended April 30, 2018January 31, 2019 from $29,204$32,188 for the three months ended April 30, 2017, and by $14,396 or 16.4%, to $102,068 for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 from $87,672 for the nine months ended April 30, 2017.January 31, 2018. General and administrative expenses increased by $9,609 or 14.9%, to $73,893 for the six months ended January 31, 2019 from $64,284 for the six months ended January 31, 2018. The increases were primarily due to incrementalan increase in ERP implementation costs, acquisition-related items (such as transaction and integration-related costs), higher amortization expense as a result of our recent acquisitions and the addition of internal and external resources to addresswhich support various growth initiatives and compliance requirements and higher acquisition-related items such as transaction and integration costs. General and administrative expenses were also negatively impacted by the third quarter 2018 settlement of a patent infringement matter. These cost increases were partially offset by a decrease in costs associated with the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer.requirements. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 17.4%16.6% and 15.2%15.1% for the three months ended April 30,January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. General and 2017, respectively, and 15.9% and 15.5% for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 Research and development expenses (which include continuing engineering costs) increased by $2,280 or 53.1%, to $6,571 for the three months ended April 30, 2018 from $4,291 for the three months ended April 30, 2017, and by $4,215 or 31.6%, to $17,543 for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 from $13,328 for the nine months ended April 30, 2017. The increases were primarily due to additional product development initiatives primarily in our Endoscopy segment. Research and developmentadministrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 3.0%16.4% and 2.2%15.1% for the threesix months ended April 30,January 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, and 2.7% and 2.4% for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Operating Income

Endoscopy. The Endoscopy segment’s operating income increased by $2,001 or 10.8%, for the three months ended April 30, 2018 compared with the three months ended April 30, 2017, and by $9,809 or 17.9%, for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended April 30, 2017. The increases were primarily due to increased sales volume in the United States and internationally for our endoscopy products and services, as further explained above. This was partially offset by increases in acquisition-related and restructuring-related costs, litigation matters, sales commission expense, and other compensation-related costs due to increased headcount. The settlement of a patent infringement matter affected operating income as a percentage of sales by approximately 200 basis points for the three months ended April 30, 2018.

Water Purification and Filtration. The Water Purification and Filtration segment’s operating income increased by $612 or 7.8%, for the three months ended April 30, 2018 compared with the three months ended April 30, 2017, and by $1,586 or 6.3%, for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended April 30, 2017. The increases were primarily due to due to higher sales, partially offset by compensation-related costs, research and development costs and higher sales commission expenses.

Healthcare Disposables. The Healthcare Disposables segment’s operating income increased by $1,196 or 18.7%, for the three months ended April 30, 2018 compared with the three months ended April 30, 2017, and by $2,624 or 12.6%, for the nine months ended April 30, 2018 compared with the nine months ended April 30, 2017. The increases were due to higher sales (primarily acquisition-related) and improved gross margins resulting from increased productivity and favorable mix, mostly offset by inventory adjustments, increased compensation-related costs and increased research and development.

 Research and development expenses (which include continuing engineering costs) increased by $2,280 or 40.4%, to $7,923 for the three months ended January 31, 2019 from $5,643 for the three months ended January 31, 2018. Research and development expenses increased by $4,029 or 36.7%, to $15,001 for the six months ended January 31, 2019 from $10,972 for the six months ended January 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to additional product development initiatives primarily in our Medical segment and to a lesser extent in our Life Sciences segment. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales were 3.5% and 2.7% for the three months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales were 3.3% and 2.5% for the six months ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Income from Operations

Medical. Income from operations increased by $1,062 or 4.3%, for the three months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended January 31, 2018. Income from operations increased by $6,589 or 14.9%, for the six months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the six months ended January 31, 2018. The increases in the three and six month periods were primarily due to increased sales volume in the United States and internationally for consumables, as further explained above. This was partially offset by increases in acquisition-related costs and inflationary pressures on gross profit. Income from operations was unfavorably impacted during the three months ended January 31, 2019 by elevated ERP implementation costs associated with a second quarter go-live date.

Life Sciences. Income from operations decreased by $1,260 or 14.7%, for the three months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended January 31, 2018. Income from operations decreased by $5,304 or 28.0%, for the six months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the six months ended January 31, 2018. The decreases in the three and six month periods were primarily due to lower net sales, restructuring-related costs (including the accelerated amortization of certain intangible assets) and an increase in research and development costs. We expect this continued softness in demand to continue in the upcoming quarters as orders for our hemodialysis water business were down this quarter, as a result of a key customer moving toward a dual source approach and a cyclical downturn in this channel.

Dental. Income from operations decreased by $1,670 or 25.5%, for the three months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended January 31, 2018. Income from operations decreased by $4,420 or 29.0%, for the six months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the six months ended January 31, 2018. The decreases in the three and six month periods were primarily due to lower net sales and reduced gross profit (resulting from decreased productivity and inflationary pressures) and increased selling and marketing expenses.

Dialysis. Income from operations decreased by $725 or 37.8%, for the three months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended January 31, 2018. Income from operations decreased by $1,440 or 35.8%, for the six months ended January 31, 2019 compared with the six months ended January 31, 2018. The decreases in the three and six month periods were primarily due to the shift to lower margin products, partially offset by higher net sales.

General Corporate Expenses

The consolidated effective tax rate increased by 15.7%13.4% to 16.2%25.3% for the ninesix months ended April 30, 2018January 31, 2019 from 31.9%11.9% for the ninesix months ended April 30, 2017.January 31, 2018. The decreases for bothincreases in the three and six month periods were primarily attributed to the recording of the discrete net tax benefits associated with the estimated impact of the revaluation of our U.S. net deferred tax liabilitiesitems as a result of the 2017 Tax Act andduring the revaluationsecond quarter of the prior reported excess tax benefits as a result of the change in the U.S. federal statutory rate applicable to stock compensation.

As a result of the 2017 Tax Act, we revised our estimated annual effective rate to reflect the change in the U.S. federal statutory rate by computing a tentative tax under both rates, and then prorating the tentative tax based on the number of days with and without the rate change to arrive at a blended tax rate of 26.9%. This blended rate was applied for fiscal 2018 and the new U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% will apply to fiscal 2019 and beyond. 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our operating performance, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measures including (i) non-GAAP net income, (ii) non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (“EPS”), (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, loss on disposal of fixed assets, and stock-based compensation expense (“EBITDAS”), (iv) adjusted EBITDAS, (v) net debt and (vi) organic sales. These non-GAAP financial measures are indicators of the Company'sour performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to financial information used by us in our financial analysis and operational decision-making. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, stockholders and other readers of our consolidated financial statements in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from, or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

To measure earnings performance on a consistent and comparable basis, we exclude certain items that affect comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are irregular in timing, may not be indicative of our past and future performance and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends. The following are examples of the types of adjustments that are excluded: (i) amortization of purchased intangible assets;assets, (ii) acquisition-related items;items, (iii) business optimization and restructuring-related charges;charges, (iv) netcertain significant and discrete tax benefits associated with the estimated impact of the revaluation of our U.S. net deferred tax liabilities as a result of U.S. tax reform;matters and (v) excess tax benefits applicable to stock compensation and (vi) other significant items management deems irregular or non-operating in nature.

Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2018 Third Quarter Form 10-Q

Amortization expense of purchased intangible assets is a non-cash expense related to intangibles that were primarily the result of business acquisitions. Our history of acquiring businesses has resulted in significant increases in amortization of intangible assets that reduce the Company’sour net income. The removal of amortization from our overall operating performance helps in assessing our cash generated from operations including our return on invested capital, which we believe is an important analysis for measuring our ability to generate cash and invest in our continued growth.
 
Acquisition-related items consist of (i) fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities resulting from acquisitions, (ii) due diligence, integration, legal fees and other transaction costs associated with our acquisition program and (iii) acquisition accounting charges for the amortization of the initial fair value adjustments of acquired inventory and deferred revenue. The adjustments of contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities are periodic adjustments to record such amounts at fair value at each balance sheet date. Given the subjective nature of the assumptions used in the determination of fair value calculations, fair value adjustments may potentially cause significant earnings volatility that are not representative of our operating results. Similarly, due diligence, integration, legal and other acquisition costs associated with our acquisition program, including acquisition accounting charges relating to recording acquired inventory and deferred revenue at fair market value, can be significant and also adversely impact our effective tax rate as certain costs are often not tax-deductible. Since these acquisition-related items are irregular and often mask underlying operating performance, we exclude these amounts for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and a comparison to past operating performance.

Excess tax benefits resulting from stock compensation are recorded as a reduction of income tax expense. The magnitude of the impact of excess tax benefits generated in the future, which may be favorable or unfavorable, are dependent upon our future grants of equity awards, our future share price on the date awards vest in relation to the fair value of awards on grant date and the exercise behavior of our stock award holders. Since these tax benefits are largely unrelated to our results and unrepresentative of

our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact on net income and diluted EPS to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.

During the six months ended January 31, 2019, we recorded specific discrete tax items associated with our international operations that were unrelated to fiscal 2019. As these items are unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact on net income and diluted EPS to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.

The 2017 Tax Act significantly revised U.S. tax law by, among other provisions, (a) lowering the applicable U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (b) creating a partial territorial tax system that includes imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax on previously deferred foreign earnings, (c) creating provisions regarding the (1) Global Intangible Low Tax Income, (2) the Foreign Derived Intangible Income deduction, and (3) the Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax and (d) eliminating or reducing certain income tax deductions, such as interest expense, executive compensation expenses and certain employee expenses. During the second quarterthree months ended January 31, 2018, we recorded a one-time net benefit as a provisional estimate of the net accounting impact of the 2017 Tax Act in accordance with SAB 118. The net benefit is comprised ofSince the following: (i) an unfavorable impact related to the mandatory transition tax for deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income and (ii) a favorable benefit related to a revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities. During the third quarter ended April 30, 2018, we recorded an adjustment to the mandatory transition tax. Since these net favorable tax benefits arebenefit is largely unrelated to our results and unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded theirits impact on net income and diluted EPS to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.

Excess tax benefits resulting from stock compensation are recorded as a reduction of income tax expense. The magnitude ofIn November 2018, we completed the impact of excess tax benefits generated in the future, which may be favorable or unfavorable, are dependent upon our future grants of equity awards, our future share price on the date awards vest in relation to the fair value of awards on grant date and the exercise behaviordisposition of our stock award holders. Since these tax benefits are largely unrelated to our results and unrepresentativehigh purity water business in Canada. This resulted in a pre-tax gain of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact on$1,313 through other income, net income and diluted EPS to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures. Forfor the three months ended January 31, 2018 and as a result of the 2017 Tax Act, we revised our estimated annual effective rate to reflect the change in the U.S. federal statutory rate applicable to stock compensation. The reduction in the federal rate applicable to the gains and corollary deferred tax asset resulted in a decrease in the excess tax benefit reported for the three months ended October 31, 2017.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we settled a patent infringement matter and also recorded an adjustment to another litigation matter in our consolidated financial statements. In fiscal 2016, we announced the retirement plans of our former Chief Executive Officer and recorded the majority of the costs associated with his retirement in our consolidated financial statements.2019. Since these costs arethis gain was irregular, and mask our underlying operating performance, we made an adjustment to our net income and diluted EPS to exclude such coststhis gain to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.

In November 2017, the Israeli Government notified us that they would forgive any future amounts due under a contingent obligation payable from a previous acquisition. As a result of this formal notification, we reduced the $1,138 contingent obligation payable to zero during the three months ended October 31, 2017, resulting in a gain through other income. Since this gain was irregular, we made an adjustment to our net income and diluted EPS to exclude this gain to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.

We believe EBITDAS is an important valuation measurement for management and investors given the increasing effect that non-cash charges, such as stock-based compensation, amortization related to acquisitions and depreciation of capital equipment have on net income. In particular, acquisitions have historically resulted in significant increases in amortization of purchased intangible assets that reduce net income. Additionally, we regard EBITDAS as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow before the effect of interest expense and is a complement to operating income from operations, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures.
 
We define adjusted EBITDAS as EBITDAS excluding the same non-GAAP adjustments to net income discussed previously in this document.above. We use adjusted EBITDAS when evaluating operating performance because we believe the exclusion of such adjustments, of which a significant portion are non-cash items, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of on-going core operating results and to evaluate comparative results period over period.

We define net debt as long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Each of the components of net debt appears on our consolidated balance sheets. We believe that the presentation of net debt provides useful information to investors because we review net debt as part of our management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage.

We define organic sales as net sales less (i) the impact of foreign currency translation, (ii) net sales related to acquired businesses during the first twelve months of ownership and (iii) divestitures during the periods being compared. We believe that reporting organic sales provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior periods. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from organic sales because foreign currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because the nature, size, and number of acquisitions and divestitures can vary dramatically from period to period and can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of financial performance difficult. The reconciliation of net sales to organic sales can be found elsewhere in this MD&A in “Net Sales.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund operating, investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting the management of liquidity are cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, of businessesdispositions and cash dividends. Cash provided by operating activities continues to be a primary source of funds. As necessary, we supplement operating cash flow with borrowings from our revolving credit facility to fund our acquisitions and related business activities.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increaseddecreased by $16,619$25,477 or 22.6%46.6%, to $90,003$29,194 for the ninesix months ended April 30, 2018January 31, 2019 from $73,384$54,671 for the ninesix months ended April 30, 2017,January 31, 2018, primarily due to the decrease in net income, the timing of accounts payable and decreased cash collections of outstanding accounts receivable, partially

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $13,546$6,969 or 68.8%28.4%, to $33,238$31,472 for the ninesix months ended April 30, 2018January 31, 2019 from $19,692$24,503 for the ninesix months ended April 30, 2017,January 31, 2018, primarily due to a net increase in revolver borrowings to fund acquisitions.

On November 1, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a 21%support acquisition-related activity, partially offset by an increase in the semi-annual cash dividend to approximately $0.09 per share of outstanding common stock, which was paid on January 31, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business on January 17, 2018. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.payments.

Debt

On April 30, 2018,At January 31, 2019, we had $169,000$195,000 of outstanding term loan borrowings and $45,000 of revolver borrowings under our ThirdFourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2014“2018 Credit Agreement”).

For further information regarding the 20142018 Credit Agreement, including a description of affirmative and negative covenants, see Note 910 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Financing Needs
 
On April 30, 2018,At January 31, 2019, our long-term debt (excluding debt issuance costs) of $169,000,$240,000, net of our cash and cash equivalents of $51,916,$71,031, was $117,084. Stockholders'$168,969. Stockholders’ equity as of that date was $601,306.$641,603.

Our operating segments generate significant cash from operations. At April 30, 2018,January 31, 2019, we had a cash balance of $51,916,$71,031, of which $27,358$48,074 was held by foreign subsidiaries. Our foreign cash is needed by our foreign subsidiaries for working capital purposes as well as for current international growth initiatives. Accordingly, our foreign unremitted earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested and unavailable for repatriation.
 
We believe that our current cash position, anticipated cash flows from operations and the funds available under our 20142018 Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our worldwide cash operating requirements for the foreseeable future based upon our existing operations, particularly given that we historically have not needed to borrow for working capital purposes. At JuneMarch 1, 2018,2019, approximately $86,000$354,729 was available under our 20142018 Credit Agreement.
