As a resultfinancial impact on our overall fiscal 2020 results was limited due to the timing of the RSI acquisition,outbreak, we saw more material impacts on our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We continue to face numerous uncertainties in estimating the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 on our present and future business operations, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. Due to several rapidly changing variables related to the Company for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 include the results of operation of RSI and its subsidiaries since the date of acquisition.

Inventory: Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Inventory costs are determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and for certain subsidiaries by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The LIFO cost reserve is determined in the aggregate for inventory and is applied as a reduction to inventories determined on the FIFO method. FIFO inventory cost approximates replacement cost.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statementsCOVID-19 pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate future economic trends and the reported amountstiming of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Examples of estimates include the allocation of fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, pension obligations, useful lives of property and equipment and recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.when stability will return.


Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the net amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination measured at fair value. The Company does not amortize goodwill but evaluates for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.


When testingIn accordance with accounting standards, when evaluating goodwill, for impairment, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If after such assessment an entity concludes that the asset is not impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the asset using a quantitative impairment test, and if impaired, the associated assets must be written down to fair value. There were no0 impairment charges related to goodwill for the three- and nine-monththree-month periods ended JanuaryJuly 31, 20182020 and 2017.2019.


Intangible assets consist of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range upfrom 3 to six6 years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. There were no0 impairment charges related to other intangible assets for the three- and nine-monththree-month periods ended JanuaryJuly 31, 20182020 and 2017.2019.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts: In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company manages these risks through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company recognizes its outstanding forward contracts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair values. The Company does not designate the forward contracts as accounting hedges. The changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recorded in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

At July 31, 2020, the Company held forward contracts maturing from August 2020 to April 2021 to purchase 226.0 million Mexican pesos at exchange rates ranging from 22.48 to 23.42 Mexican pesos to one U.S. dollar. An asset of $0.2 million is recorded in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note C-- Acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. (the "RSI Acquisition")

On November 30, 2017, American Woodmark, Alliance Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), RSI Home Products, Inc. ("RSI") and Ronald M. Simon, as the RSI stockholder representative, entered into a merger agreement (the merger agreement"), pursuant to which the parties agreed to merge Merger Sub with and into RSI pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, with RSI continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of American Woodmark. On December 29, 2017 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Company consummated the RSI Acquisition pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As a result of the merger of Merger Sub with and into RSI, Merger Sub’s separate corporate existence ceased, and RSI continued as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of American Woodmark. RSI is a leading manufacturer of kitchen and bath cabinetry and home organization products. The acquisition is expected to enable the Company to make further progress in implementing its business strategy of increasing operational efficiency to drive enhanced profitability, leveraging differentiated service platforms to grow revenue, and continuing to deepen relationships within its existing customer base.

In connection with the RSI Acquisition, on December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as administrative agent, providing for a $100 million, 5-year revolving loan facility with a $25 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility”), a $250 million, 5-year initial term loan facility (the "Initial Term Loan") and a $250 million delayed draw term loan facility (the "Delayed Draw Term Loan" and, together with the Revolving Facility and the Initial Term Loan, the "Credit Facilities") (See Note M--Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt for further details). American Woodmark used the full proceeds of the Initial Term Loan and approximately $50 million in loans under the Revolving Facility, together with cash on its balance sheet, to fund the cash portion of the RSI Acquisition consideration and its transaction fees and expenses.

At the closing of the RSI Acquisition, American Woodmark assumed approximately $589 million (including accrued interest) of RSI’s indebtedness consisting largely of RSI’s 6½% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2023 (the "RSI Notes"). (See Note M--Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt).

Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed



As consideration for the RSI Acquisition, American Woodmark paid total accounting consideration of $553.2 million including (i) cash consideration of $363.3 million, net of cash acquired, and (ii) 1,457,568 newly issued shares of American Woodmark common stock valued at $189.8 million based on $130.25 per share, which was the closing stock price on the Acquisition Date. The consideration paid is subject to a working capital adjustment by which the consideration will be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether the amount of working capital delivered at the Acquisition Date exceeds or is less than a target amount. The working capital adjustment has not yet been finalized and the accounting consideration does not reflect any adjustment to the estimated working capital reflected in the consideration paid at the Acquisition Date.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of RSI as a business combination, which requires the Company to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company has commenced the appraisals necessary to assess the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the Acquisition Date. The amounts recorded for certain assets and liabilities are preliminary in nature and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Date. The final determination of the fair values of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the measurement period of up to one year from the Acquisition Date permitted under GAAP. The final values may also result in changes to depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets such as buildings, equipment and intangible assets. Any potential adjustments made could be material in relation to the preliminary values presented in the table below.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the Acquisition Date, which is based on the accounting consideration of $553.2 million, to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):
Goodwill  $765,743
Customer relationship intangibles   274,000
Property, plant and equipment   87,064
Inventories   66,293
Customer receivables   54,649
Income taxes receivable   18,450
Trademarks   10,000
Prepaid expenses and other   4,571
Leasehold interests   151
Total identifiable assets and goodwill acquired   1,280,921
     
Debt   602,313
Deferred income taxes   67,478
Accrued expenses   29,777
Accounts payable   25,113
Notes payable   2,988
Income taxes payable   49
Total liabilities assumed   727,718
     
Total accounting consideration  $553,203

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined using income, market and cost valuation methodologies. The fair value of debt acquired was determined using Level 1 inputs as quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities were available. The fair value measurements were estimated using significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820. The income approach was primarily used to value the customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The income approach determines value for an asset or liability based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated over the remaining economic life of the asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Our estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected product pricing, operational performance including company specific synergies, product life cycles, material and labor pricing, and other relevant customer, contractual and market factors. The net cash flows are discounted to present value


using a discount rate that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flow and the time value of money. The market approach is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities, or a group of assets or liabilities. The cost approach estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the property, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation. The cost and market approaches were used to value inventory, while the cost approach was the primary approach used to value property, plant and equipment.

The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $765.7 million of goodwill, which is not expected to be amortizable for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized is attributable to expected revenue synergies generated by the integration of the Company’s products with RSI's, cost synergies resulting from purchasing and manufacturing activities, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as the assembled workforce of RSI.

Customer receivables were recorded at the contractual amounts due of $54.7 million, less an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million, which approximates their fair value.

Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the exercise of significant judgment, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, long-term growth rates and discount rates. The cash flows employed in the valuation are based on the Company’s best estimates of future sales, earnings and cash flows after considering factors such as general market conditions, expected future customer orders, contracts with suppliers, labor costs, changes in working capital, long term business plans and recent operating performance. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results.

Impact to Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2018

RSI’s financial results have been included in our consolidated financial results for the period from the Acquisition Date to January 31, 2018. As a result, our consolidated financial results for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 do not reflect a full nine months of RSI results. From December 29, 2017 to January 31, 2018, RSI generated net sales of approximately $38.6 million and an operating loss of approximately $4.9 million, inclusive of intangible amortization and adjustments to account for the acquisition, including a $6.3 million charge to cost of sales as a result of the step up of inventory as of the Acquisition Date to fair value.

The Company incurred approximately $10.2 million of transaction costs associated with the RSI Acquisition during the nine months ended January 31, 2018 that the Company expensed as incurred. These costs are included in general and administrative expenseson the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited)

The following table presents summarized unaudited pro forma financial information as if RSI had been included in the Company’s financial results for the entire nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017:
   Nine months ended
   January 31,

 Net Sales $1,207,775
 $1,213,604

 $71,945
 Net earnings per share - basic $2.60
 $4.06
 Net earnings per share - diluted $2.58
 $4.03

(1) Includes stock compensation expense of $17.5 million and $2.6 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, calculated under the intrinsic value method in measuring stock-based liability awards related to stock-based grants made by RSI prior to the RSI Acquisition.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial data above assumes the RSI Acquisition occurred on May 1, 2016 and has been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the historical results of RSI with pro forma adjustments, net of a statutory tax rate of 34.4% and 40.4% for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Significant pro forma adjustments include the recognition of additional amortization expense related to acquired intangible


assets (net of historical amortization expense of RSI), additional interest expense related to the Initial Term Loan used to finance the acquisition, and elimination of the inventory fair value step-up expense and transaction related expenses which are non-recurring in nature. These adjustments assume the application of fair value adjustments to intangibles and that the $300.0 million borrowed under the Credit Agreement occurred on May 1, 2016 and are as follows: amortization expense, net of tax, of $20.0 million and $20.5 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively; interest expense, net of tax, (including amortization expense related to $6.7 million of debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over a period of 5 years) of $3.0 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The following amounts have been excluded: inventory fair value step-up expense, net of tax, of $4.1 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2018; and transaction expenses add-back, net of tax, of $6.9 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017.

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not reflect the realization of any expected ongoing cost or revenue synergies relating to the integration of the two companies. Further, the pro forma data should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the RSI Acquisition, related financing, and associated issuance of Senior Notes (defined herein) and repurchase or redemption of the RSI Notes had been actually consummated on May 1, 2016, nor are they indicative of future results (See Note R--Subsequent Events).

Note L--FairK--Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company utilizes the hierarchy of fair value measurements to classify certain of its assets and liabilities based upon the following definitions:
Level 1- Investments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are invested in money market funds, mutual funds and certificates of deposit.  The Company’s mutual fund investment assets represent contributions made and invested on behalf of the Company’s named executive officers in a supplementary employee retirement plan.


Level 2- Investments with observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.




Level 3- Investments with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis.

The Credit Facilities


On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as subsequently amended, the Credit Agreement, which provides"Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, providing for a $100 million, 5-year revolving loan facility with a $25 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility”), a $250 million, 5-year initial term loan facility (the "Initial Term Loan") and a $250 million delayed draw term loan facility (the "Delayed Draw Term Loan" and, together with the Revolving Facility and the Initial Term Loan, and the Delayed Draw Term Loan. Also on December 29, 2017, the"Credit Facilities"). The Company borrowed the entire $250 million available under the Initial Term Loan and approximately $50 million under the Revolving Facility to fund, in part, the cash portioneach of the RSI Acquisition consideration and the Company’s transaction fees and expenses related to the RSI Acquisition. In connection with its entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its prior $35 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo. As of January 31, 2018, $250 million and $30 million remained outstanding on the Initial Term Loan and the Revolving Facility, respectively, and no amounts were outstanding under the Delayed Draw Term Loan. The Initial Term Loan is scheduled to mature as follows: $12.5 million by January 31, 2019; $18.8 million by January 31, 2020; $25.0 million by January 31, 2021; $25.0 million by January 31, 2022; and $168.7 million by December 29, 2022. The Credit Facilities mature on December 29, 2022. The Company is required to repay any aggregate outstanding amounts under the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan on December 29, 2017 and February 12, 2018, respectively, in certainconnection with its acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. (“RSI”) and subsequent refinancing of RSI’s debt. The Company is required to make specified quarterly installments beginning on both the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Loan. As of July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2018.2020, $122 million was outstanding on each of the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Loan for a total of $244 million. The outstanding balance approximates fair value as the Initial Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loan have a floating interest rate. There were 0 amounts outstanding on the Revolving Facility as of July 31, 2020 or April 30, 2020. The Credit Facilities mature on December 29, 2022.




Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities bear interest based on a fluctuating rate measured by reference to either, at the Company’s option, a base rate plus an applicable margin or LIBOR plus an applicable margin, with the applicable margin being determined by reference to the Company’s then-current “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio.” The Company will also incurincurs a quarterly commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility during the applicable quarter at a rate per annum also determined by reference to the Company’s then-current “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio.” In addition, a letter of credit fee will accrue on the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit at a per annum rate equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR loans, payable quarterly in arrears. As of July 31, 2020, the applicable margin with respect to base rate loans and LIBOR loans was 0.50% and 1.50%, respectively, and the commitment fee was 0.175%. As of December 31, 2021, the Company will transition to the Secured Overnight Financial Rate ("SOFR") as required by the Credit Facilities. The Company expects the transition to SOFR to be materially similar to LIBOR.


14


The Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants, including a maximum “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio” of no more than 3.25 to 1.00 (with an increase to 3.75 to 1.00 for a certain period upon the consummation of a “Qualified Acquisition”). The Company is also required to maintain a “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” of no less than 1.25 to 1.00. 

The Credit Agreement includes certain additional covenants, including negative covenants restrictingthat restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens on its assets, make certain investments, dispose of its assets or engage in a merger or otheranother similar transaction or engage in transactions with affiliates, subject, in each case, to the various exceptions and conditions described in the Credit Agreement. The negative covenants furtheralso restrict the Company’s ability to make certain investments and to make certain restricted payments, including the payment of dividends and repurchase of common stock, in certain limited circumstances. The Company is, however, permitted to make unlimited investments so long as the "Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio" is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 after giving effect to any such investment and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from any such investment. The Company is also permitted to make (i) unlimited restricted payments so long as the “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio” would be less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 after giving effect to any such payment and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from any such payment and (ii) up to an aggregate of $50 million in restricted payments not otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from any such payment.

As of JanuaryJuly 31, 2018,2020, the Company's Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio was 2.69 and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 4.84. As of July 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the covenants included in the Credit Agreement.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement wereare guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries (other than RSI and its subsidiaries) and the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries (other than RSI and its subsidiaries) wereare secured by a pledge of substantially all of their respective personal property.

The RSI Notes

On December 29, 2017, as a result of the closing of the RSI Acquisition, the Company assumed, through its acquisition of all of the equity interests of RSI, the RSI Notes. As of December 29, 2017, the RSI Notes had a fair value of $602.3 million. As of January 31, 2018, the entire $575 million aggregate principal amount of the RSI Notes remained outstanding.

As of January 31, 2018, the RSI Notes (i) accrued interest at a rate equal to 6.5% per annum, payable in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, (ii) were scheduled to mature on March 15, 2023, (iii) were guaranteed by each of RSI’s domestic subsidiaries, and (iv) were secured by a second lien on substantially all of the assets of RSI and its domestic subsidiaries. As of January 31, 2018, the indenture governing the RSI Notes contained certain customary covenants, including covenants that limited or restricted RSI’s ability to incur debt, pay dividends, repurchase or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock, make other restricted payments, create liens, dispose of assets or engage in transactions with affiliates, subject, in each case to the exceptions and conditions described in the indenture. As of January 31, 2018, RSI was in compliance with the covenants under the indenture governing the RSI Notes. See Note R--Subsequent Events for information concerning the refinancing of the RSI Notes.

Other RSI Debt

On December 29, 2017, the Company also assumed, through its acquisition of all of the equity interests of RSI, $2.8 million of subordinated promissory notes payable to certain current and former RSI employees. The promissory notes each have a term of 5 years, bear interest at rates ranging from 1.01% to 2.12% per annum, may be prepaid by RSI at any time without penalty and are due in annual installments of principal and interest on their respective anniversary dates. The notes were issued in exchange for the cancellation of vested stock options of RSI either upon the termination of the applicable employee or immediately prior to the expiration of such options. As of January 31, 2018, the aggregate outstanding balance on the notes was $2.8 million, with payments due through June 30, 2022.

Note O--Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 was 47.0% and 33.9%, respectively, compared with 33.2% and 34.5%, respectively, in the comparable periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to transaction costs incurred due to the RSI Acquisition and an expected reduction in the amount of domestic production deduction expected for the year due to such acquisition in the quarter, partially offset by the overall benefit from the reduction in the tax rate enacted in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (H.R. 1) (the “Tax Act”). The Company recorded a net tax benefit of $1.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 in connection with the Tax Act enacted in December 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the net benefit of $1.2 million from tax rate reduction enacted in connection with the Tax Act and an increase of $0.5 million in tax benefits from stock-based compensation transactions. As is discussed in Note C--Acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc., a deferred tax liability of approximately $67.8 million was recorded as a result of the RSI Acquisition.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017



On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was signed into law. The Tax Act significantly revises the future ongoing U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.  As a result, a proportional federal rate of 30.4% is applicable in the current fiscal year.
The key impacts of the Tax Act for the three months ended January 31, 2018 were the re-measurement of deferred tax balances to the new corporate tax rate and the reduction of corporate federal tax rate applicable in the calculation of current tax expense from 35% to 30.4% in the current fiscal year. The Company is required to re-measure, through income tax expense, its deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted rate at which the items are expected to be recovered or settled.

Due to the complexities associated with understanding and applying various aspects of the new law and quantifying or estimating amounts upon which calculations required to account for new law are based, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) recognized that it may be difficult for many companies to complete the determination of all accounting effects of the new law within the available timeframe for issuing their financial statements for the period of enactment. As a result, the SEC provided guidance under SAB 118, permitting corporations to record and report specific items impacted by the new law on the basis of reasonable estimates if final amounts have not been determined and designate them as provisional amounts, or to continue to account for specific items under the previous law if it is not possible to develop reasonable estimates within the timeframe for issuance of the financial statements. In subsequent reporting periods, as the accounting for those items is finalized, companies are expected to record the appropriate adjustments to the initial accounting, removing the provisional designation on an item in the period that the accounting for that item is completed. A measurement period of no more than one year from the date of enactment of the new law is provided under the SEC guidance to complete all such adjustments.

While the Company has not yet completed the assessment of the effects of the Tax Act, we are able to determine reasonable estimates for the impacts of the key items specified above, thus we reported provisional amounts for these items. The Company is still analyzing the impact of the provisions of the law on our deferred tax balances and refining our calculations which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. The provisional amount determined and recorded for the re-measurement of our deferred tax balances resulted in a net reduction in deferred assets of $1.6 million. While we have made a reasonable estimate of the impact of the federal corporate tax rate reduction, that estimate could change as we complete our analysis of all impacts of the Tax Act.

We were unable to determine a reasonable estimate of the impact, if any, of the effect on our existing deferred tax assets related to executive compensation. We have continued to apply our existing accounting under ASC 740 for this matter.

Note P--Concentration of Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions and such balances may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash.

Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and generally collateral is not required. The Company's customers operate in the new home construction and home remodeling markets. 
The Company maintains an allowance for bad debt based upon management's evaluation and judgment of potential net loss. The allowance is estimated based upon historical experience, the effects of current developments and economic conditions and of each customer’s current and anticipated financial condition. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and updated. Any resulting adjustments to the allowance are reflected in current operating results.

At January 31, 2018, the Company's two largest customers, Customers A and B, represented 31.3% and 22.0% of the Company's gross customer receivables, respectively. At April 30, 2017, Customers A and B represented 8.2% and 20.7% of the Company’s gross customer receivables, respectively.

 The following table summarizes the percentage of sales to the Company's two largest customers for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017:

Note Q--Other Information
The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including without limitation product liability and general liability claims, and claims pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such claims may result in a loss.  As required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, “Contingencies” (ASC 450), the Company categorizes the various suits and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible, and those that are deemed to be remote.  Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible, a range of loss estimates is determined and considered for disclosure.  In determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of similar claims and consults with outside counsel.
The Company believes that the aggregate range of loss stemming from the various suits and asserted and unasserted claims that were deemed to be either probable or reasonably possible was not material as of January 31, 2018.
Note R--Subsequent Events


On February 12, 2018, the Company issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on March 15, 2026. Interest2026 and interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2018.year. The Senior Notes are and will be, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. The indenture governing the Senior Notes restricts the ability of the Company and the Company’s “restricted subsidiaries” to, as applicable, (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, (ii) create liens, (iii) pay dividends, redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions or restricted payments, (iv) make certain investments, (v) create restrictions on the ability of the “restricted subsidiaries” to pay dividends to the Company or make other intercompany transfers, (vi) transfer or sell assets, (vii) merge or consolidate with a third party and (viii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates of the Company, subject, in each case, to certain qualifications and exceptions as described in the indenture.

Also on February 12, 2018, As of July 31, 2020, the Company borrowed the entire $250 million availableand its restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants under the Delayed Draw Term Loan. In connection with these borrowings, RSI and its domestic subsidiaries became guarantors ofindenture governing the Company’s obligations underSenior Notes.

Note M--Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2020 and 2019 was 26.6% and 26.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year was primarily due to a decrease in the benefit from stock-based compensation transactions. During the first quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a tax detriment related to stock-based compensation transactions of $0.2 million and a tax benefit of $0.1 million, respectively.

On December 29, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of RSI, a leading manufacturer of kitchen and bath cabinetry and home organization products, for consideration consisting of 1,457,568 newly issued shares of American Woodmark common stock, $363.3 million in net cash (subject to certain customary postclosing working capital, indebtedness and seller expense true ups), and the assumption of approximately $589 million of RSI debt, including accrued interest. We refer to this acquisition as the “RSI Acquisition.”


The three-month period ended JanuaryJuly 31, 20182020 was the Company’s thirdfirst quarter of its fiscal year that ends on April 30, 20182021 (“fiscal 2018”2021”).  During
COVID-19

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has since spread throughout the thirdworld. Financial markets have been volatile in 2020, primarily due to uncertainty with respect to the severity and duration of the pandemic.

As the spread of the virus began to be identified within the United States in March 2020, we acted by imposing travel restrictions, transitioning large meetings from in-person to virtual formats, assessing our information technology infrastructure to ensure readiness for a remote workforce, staying connected to customers, suppliers and business partners, planning for return to the workplace and making operational adjustments as needed to ensure continued safety of our workforce.

The pandemic has resulted in federal, state and local governments around the world implementing increasingly stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions or bans, business curtailments, school closures, and other protective measures.

All of our manufacturing facilities currently qualify as essential operations (or the equivalent) under applicable federal and state orders. Operations in our component plants in Mexico were temporarily suspended for a period of time in April 2020, however, all of our manufacturing facilities and service centers are currently open and operating. We are enforcing social distancing and enhanced health, safety and sanitization measures in accordance with guidelines from the Center for Disease Control. We have also implemented necessary procedures and support to enable a significant portion of our office personnel to work remotely.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our business operations and financial results beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018,2020 and continues to impact us in fiscal 2021. Although the Company continuedfinancial impact on our overall fiscal 2020 results was limited due to experience improving market conditions from the housing market downturn that begantiming of the outbreak, we saw more material impacts on our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as discussed below. We continue to face numerous uncertainties in 2007.estimating the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 on our present and future business operations, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. Due to several rapidly changing variables related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate future economic trends and the timing of when stability will return. Refer to Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020 for a disclosure of risk factors related to COVID-19.

Financial Overview

The Company’s remodeling-based business was impacted by the following trends during the thirdfirst quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2018:2021:    
 
Residential investment as a percentage of gross domestic product as tracked by the U.S. Department of Commerce for the fourth calendar quarter of 2017 was flat at 3.5% compared with the same period in the prior year;

The median price per existing home sold rose during the fourthsecond calendar quarter of 20172020 compared to the same period one year ago by 5.6%4.2% according to data provided by the National Association of Realtors, and existing home sales increased 0.42%decreased 18.4% during the fourthsecond calendar quarter of 20172020 compared to the same period in the prior year;

Mortgage interest rates remained lowdecreased with a thirty-year fixed mortgage rate of approximately 4.03%2.99% in January 2018,July 2020, a decrease of approximately 1278 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year, according to Freddie Mac; and
Consumer sentiment as tracked by Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan decreased from 98.598.4 in January 2017July 2019 to 95.772.5 in January 2018.July 2020.


The Company believes there is no single indicator that directly correlates with cabinet remodeling market activity. For this reason, the Company considers other factors in addition to those discussed above as indicators of overall market activity including credit availability, housing affordability and sales reported by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (“KCMA”), a trade organization that issues the aggregate sales that have been reported by its members including the largest cabinet manufacturers in the United States.  Based on the totality of factors listed above, the Company believes that the cabinet remodeling market increaseddecreased in the low singlelow-double digits during the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2018.2021.

New construction sales decreased 4.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, respectively,2021, when compared to the comparable prior-year periods.  Much of this growth is attributed to the one month of results from the Company’s acquisition of RSI which accounted for 31% of our remodeling sales during the third quartersame period of fiscal 2018.  Otherwise, excluding the impact of RSI sales, management believes the Company has maintained share within the home center retail channel.

Regarding new construction markets, the2020. The Company believes that fluctuations in single-family housing starts are the best indicator of new construction cabinet activity.  Assuming a sixty to ninety day lag between housing starts and the installation of cabinetry, single-family housing starts rose approximately 8%decreased 9.4% during the thirdfirst quarter of the Company’s fiscal 20182021 over the comparable prior year period.  Completions over the third fiscal quarter only averaged an increase of 3%.

Sales in the new construction channel increased 7% in the third quarter, 4% of which was attributable to one month of results from the Company's acquisition of RSI, and more than 9% during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 when compared with the same periods of fiscal 2017. The Company believes it underover indexed the market due to an increaseon a unit basis within made-to-order framed builder direct, which was offset by price, mix and declines in first time home buyers.our frameless business.

Net Sales. Net sales were $390.1 million for the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2018,2021, a decrease of 8.7% compared with $53.9 million in the same periodfirst quarter of the prior year.

As of January 31, 2018, the Company had total net deferred tax liabilities of $63.6 million, compared to net deferred tax assets of $18.0 million at April 30, 2017.  The reduction in total net deferred tax assets from April 30, 2017 to January 31, 2018 is mainly due to the preliminary deferred tax liability of $67.8 million from RSI Acquisition, pension contributions, and stock based compensation transactions over the period.  The Company regularly considers the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, after considering all positive and negative evidence, it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  The Company has recorded a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets for certain state investment tax credit (“ITC”) carryforwards.  These credits expire in various years beginning in fiscal 2020.  The Company believes based on positive evidence ofexperienced declines in all channels during the housing industry improvement along with five consecutive years of profitability that the Company will more likely than not realize all other remaining deferred tax assets.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Management considers a measurement that is notMeasures. We have reported our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is set forth below.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the current period’s results against the corresponding prior period’s results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EPS per diluted share

We use Adjusted EPS per diluted share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that this measure provides useful measurementinformation to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the operationalCompany’s results by providing an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and/or non-cash items. We define Adjusted EPS per diluted share as diluted earnings per share excluding the Company.per share impact of (1) expenses related to the RSI acquisition and subsequent restructuring charges, (2) non-recurring restructuring charges, (3) the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (4) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and (5) the tax benefit of RSI acquisition expenses and subsequent restructuring charges, the net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The amortization of intangible assets is driven by the RSI acquisition and will recur in future periods. Management deemshas determined that excluding amortization of intangible assets from our definition of Adjusted EPS per diluted share will better help it evaluate the performance of our business and profitability and we have also received similar feedback from some of our investors regarding the same.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in evaluating the performance of our business, and we use each in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense, (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (5) expenses related to the RSI acquisition and subsequent restructuring charges, (6) non-recurring restructuring charges, (7) stock-based compensation expense, (8) gain/loss on asset disposals, (9) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts and (10) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, is useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of our business.

We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a useful measurepercentage of performancenet sales.

For this measurement, management increases net income for significant non-operating and non-cash expense items to arrive at an amount known as “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization” (EBITDA). Further, management defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude such items as: restructuring charges, stock based compensation, corporate business development expense and loss on disposaladverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company manages these risks through the use of property, plant and equipment.foreign exchange forward contracts. The reader is cautioned that the values for EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be compared to other entities unknowingly. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. The reader should refer to the determination of net income and cash flows from operating activities in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as used by management are calculated as follows:

Outlook.  The impact on our fiscal 2021 financial results as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain.The Company’s net sales were down 8.7% during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.The Company expects that sales will reflect low to mid-single digit growth in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 versus the same period of the prior fiscal year.This growth rate is very dependent upon overall industry and economic growth. Margins will be challenged with increases in labor costs and product launch costs.The increase during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2018 is primarily due to additional sales growth and the inclusion of one month of results for RSI.

Effective Income Tax Rates.The Company’s effective income tax rateCompany expects adjusted EBITDA margins for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 was 47.0% and 33.9%, respectively, compared with 33.2% and 34.5%, respectively, in the comparable


periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in the effective tax rate for the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018 as2021 to decrease compared to the third quartersame period of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to transaction costs incurred and an increase in limitation of domestic production deduction due to the acquisition in the quarter, partially offset by the benefit from the reduction in the tax rate enacted in connection with the Tax Act.prior year. The Company recorded a net tax benefithas taken actions to improve its cash position and as of $1.2July 31, 2020 had $128.1 million inof cash on hand and access to $93.6 million of additional availability under its revolver.We will continue to monitor the third quartersituation closely and may implement further measures to provide additional financial flexibility as we work to protect our cash position and liquidity.

The Company continues to track several metrics, including but not limited to housing starts, existing home sales, mortgage interest rates, new jobs growth, GDP growth and consumer confidence, which it believes are leading indicators of fiscal 2018 in connection with the Tax Act enacted in December, 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rateoverall demand for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the net benefit of $1.2 million from tax rate reduction enacted in connection with the Tax Actkitchen and an increase of $0.5 million tax benefit from stock-based compensation transactions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Acquisition significantly affected the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and cash flow. See Note C--Acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. for a table detailing the preliminary purchase price. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $139.6$128.1 million at JanuaryJuly 31, 2018,2020, representing a $37.4$31.0 million decreaseincrease from its April 30, 20172020 levels.  At JanuaryJuly 31, 2018,2020, total long-term debt (including current maturities) was $896.4$597.3 million, an increase of $879.6$0.2 million from its balance at April 30, 2017.2020.  The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital was 61.0%45.2% at JanuaryJuly 31, 2018,2020, compared with 4.2%45.9% at April 30, 2017.2020.
 
The Company’s main source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from its operating activities. The Company can also borrow up to $100 million under the Revolving Facility. Approximately $65.1$93.6 million was available under this facility as of JanuaryJuly 31, 2018, and approximately $95.12020.

The Company’s investing activities primarily consist of purchases and maturities of certificates of deposit, investment in property, plant and equipment and promotional displays.  Net cash used for investing activities was $28.4$7.8 million in the first ninethree months of fiscal 2018,2021, compared with $51.7$5.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2017.2020. The decreaseincrease in cash used was due to the acquisition of RSI and increased investment in property, plant and equipment, which was partially offset by a net $96.0 million increasedecrease in cash flowreceived from maturities of certificates of deposit.


During the first ninethree months of fiscal 2018,2021, net cash used by financing activities was $57.9$1.2 million, compared with $11.2$43.6 million in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The increasedecrease in cash used was primarily driven by the Company’s payments of long-term debt of $21.4$42.6 million the repurchase of 309,612 shares of common stock at a cost of $29.0 million, a $15.6 million increase fromin the prior year, debt issuance costs of $6.7 million and a decrease in proceeds fromyear.

Under a stock repurchase authorization approved by itsCompany’s Board of Directors on November 30, 2015, the Company was(the “Board”) authorized to purchase up to $20 million of the Company's common shares. On November 30, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized an additionala stock repurchase program of up to $50 million of the Company'sCompany’s common shares. This authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 19, 2015. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms the Company deems appropriate and subject to the Company's cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Senior Notes, and other factors management deems relevant. At January 31, 2018, $36.0 million remainedThe authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific number of shares during any period, and the authorization may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board. Management expects to fund any share repurchases using available cash and cash generated from operations. Repurchased shares will become authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors to repurchase the Company’sbut unissued common shares. The Company purchased a totaldid not repurchase any of 309,612 commonits shares for an aggregate purchase price of $29.0 million, during the first nine months of fiscal 2018, under the authorizations.

On November 30, 2016 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the construction of a new corporate headquarters in Winchester, Virginia. The new space will consolidate employees that currently occupy four buildings in Winchester, Virginia and Frederick County, Virginia, during the 4th quarter of fiscal 2018. It is expected that the new building will be self-funded for approximately $30 million, of which $18.3 million has been spent through January 31, 2018. During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, approximately $15.3 million in costs were incurred related to the new company headquarters.


Cash flow from operations combined with accumulated cash and cash equivalents on hand are expected to be more than sufficient to support forecasted working capital requirements, service existing debt obligations and fund capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2018.2021.  

Seasonal and Inflationary Factors
 
The Company’sOur business has historically been subject to seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized in the secondour first and fourth fiscal quarters.
General economic forces and changes in our customer mix have reduced seasonal fluctuations in revenue over the past few years. The costs of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations.  The Company has generally been able over time to recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price increases.

Critical Accounting Policies
 


The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  TheThere have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies areas disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017. Beginning third quarter fiscal 2018 goodwill and other intangible assets has been designated as one of the Company's critical accounting policies as a result of the acquisition of RSI.2020.


Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company does not amortize goodwill but evaluates for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

In accordance with the accounting standards, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If after such assessment an entity concludes that the asset is not impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the asset using a quantitative impairment test, and if impaired, the associated assets must be written down to fair value. There were no impairment charges related to goodwill for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017.

The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range up to six years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. There were no impairment charges related to other intangible assets for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Interest Rate RiskThe costs of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations.  The Company has generally been able, over time, to recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price increases. 


OurThe Revolving Facility, Initial Term Loan and InitialDelayed Draw Term Loan include a variable interest rate component. As a result, we are subject to interest rate risk with respect to such floating-rate debt. A 100 basis point increase in the variable interest rate component of our borrowings as of JanuaryJuly 31, 20182020 would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.8$2.4 million.


The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts principally to offset currency fluctuations in transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies, thereby limiting our exposure to risk that would otherwise result from changes in exchange rates. The periods of the foreign exchange forward contracts correspond to the periods of the transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

The Company does not currently use commodity or interest rate derivatives or similar financial instruments to manage its commodity price or interest rate risks.  See “Seasonal and Inflationary Factors” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations above for additional information regarding the effects inflation and commodity price fluctuations have on the costs of the Company’s products. 


Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of JanuaryJuly 31, 2018.2020.  Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  We acquired RSI on December 29, 2017 and have not yet included RSI in our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of an assessment in the year of acquisition, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures does not include internal control over financial reporting related to RSI.


Except as described in the preceding paragraph, thereThere has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended JanuaryJuly 31, 20182020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
The Company is involved in various suits and claims in the normal course of business all of which constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business.  The Company is not party to any material litigation that does not constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to its business.




Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Due toRisk factors that may affect the acquisitionCompany’s business, results of RSI there have been changes to the risk factorsoperations and financial condition are described in Part I, Item 1A.1A, “Risk Factors” inof the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2017 as follows:

Because of the concentration of our sales to our two largest customers, the loss of either customer or a significant reduction in orders from either customer could adversely affect our financial results. Home Depot and Lowe’s collectively accounted for approximately 36% of total Company sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and with the RSI Acquisition, we expect this concentration to significantly increase. We do not typically enter into long-term sales contracts with Home Depot or Lowe’s and our sales usually occur on a “purchase order” basis. Our customers can make significant changes in their purchase volumes and can seek to significantly affect the prices we receive for our products and services and the other terms and conditions on which we do business. They have discontinued, and may in the future choose to discontinue, purchasing some or all of our products with little or no notice. In the past, purchase volumes from our customers, including Home Depot and Lowe’s, have fluctuated substantially, and we expect such fluctuations to occur from time to time in the future. Any reduction in, or termination of, our sales to either Home Depot or Lowe’s could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, the potential for orders from these large retail customers to increase significantly from time to time requires us to have sufficient manufacturing capacity. These large retailers also impose strict logistics and performance obligations. Failure to comply with these obligations may result in these customers reducing or stopping their purchase of our products.

We could also experience delays or defaults in payment from Home Depot or Lowe’s, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The loss of a substantial portion of our order volumes or revenue from either Home Depot or Lowe’s for any reason would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our business primarily relies on U.S. home improvement, repair and remodel and new home construction activity levels, all of which are impacted by risks associated with fluctuations in the housing market. Downward changes in the general economy, the housing market or other business conditions could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Our business primarily relies on home improvement, repair and remodel, and new home construction
activity levels in the United States. The housing market is sensitive to changes in economic conditions and other factors, such as the level of employment, access to labor, consumer confidence, consumer income, availability of financing and interest rate levels. Adverse changes in any of these conditions generally, or in any of the markets where we operate, could decrease demand and could adversely impact our businesses by: causing consumers to delay or decrease homeownership; making consumers more price conscious resulting in a shift in demand to smaller, less expensive homes; making consumers more reluctant to make investments in their existing homes, including large kitchen and bath repair and remodel projects; or making it more difficult to secure loans for major renovations. Although the U.S. new home construction market is improving, demand for new homes is still recovering after the 2007-2009 U.S. economic recession and continues to remain below historical levels.

Prolonged economic downturns may adversely impact our sales, earnings and liquidity. Our industry historically has been cyclical in nature and has fluctuated with economic cycles. During economic downturns, our industry could experience longer periods of recession and greater declines than the general economy. We believe that our industry is significantly influenced by economic conditions generally and particularly by housing activity, consumer confidence, the level of personal discretionary spending, demographics and credit availability. These factors may affect not only the ultimate consumer of our products,
but also may impact home centers, builders and our other primary customers. As a result, a worsening of economic conditions could adversely affect our sales and earnings as well as our cash flow and liquidity.

The U.S. cabinetry industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete successfully. We operate within the highly competitive U.S. cabinetry industry, which is characterized by competition from a number of other manufacturers. Competition is further intensified during economic downturns. We compete with numerous large national and regional home products companies for, among other things, customers, orders from Home Depot and Lowe’s, raw materials and skilled management and labor resources. Purchase volumes from our main home center customers have fluctuated substantially from time to time in the past, and we expect such fluctuations to occur from time to time in the future.

Some of our competitors have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do and, therefore, may be able to adapt to changes in customer preferences more quickly, devote more resources to the marketing and sale of their products, generate greater national brand recognition or adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can.



In addition, some of our competitors may resort to price competition to sustain or gain market share and manufacturing capacity utilization, and we may have to adjust the prices on some of our products to stay competitive, which could reduce our revenues. We may not ultimately succeed in competing with other manufacturers and distributors in our market, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our failure to develop new products or respond to changing consumer preferences and purchasing practices could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. The U.S. cabinetry industry is subject to changing consumer trends, demands and preferences. The uncertainties associated with developing and introducing new products, such as gauging changing consumer preferences and successfully developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling new products, could lead to, among other things, rejection of a new product line, reduced demand and price reductions for our products. If our products do not keep up with consumer trends, demands and preference, we could lose market share, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Changes to consumer shopping habits and potential trends toward “online” purchases could also impact our ability to compete as we currently sell our products mainly through our distribution channel. Further, the volatile and challenging economic environment of recent years has caused shifts in consumer trends, demands, preferences and purchasing practices and changes in the business models and strategies of our customers. Shifts in consumer preferences, which may or may not be long-term, have altered the quantity, type and prices of products demanded by the end-consumer and our customers. If we do not timely and effectively identify and respond to these changing consumer preferences and purchasing practices, our relationships with our customers could be harmed, the demand for our products could be reduced and our market share could be negatively
affected.

We may fail to fully realize the anticipated benefits of our growth strategy within the dealer and homebuilder channels. Part of our growth strategy depends on expanding our business in the dealer and homebuilder channels. We may fail to compete successfully against other companies that are already established providers within the dealer and homebuilder channels. Demand for our products within the homebuilder and dealer channels may not grow, or might even decline. In addition, we may not accurately gauge consumer preferences and successfully develop, manufacture and market our products at a national level. Further, the implementation of our growth strategy may place additional demands on our administrative, operational and financial resources and may divert management’s attention away from our existing business and increase the demands on our financial systems and controls. If our management is unable to effectively manage growth, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. If our growth strategy is not successful then our revenue and earnings
may not grow as anticipated or may decline, we may not be profitable, our reputation and brand may be damaged. In addition, we may change our financial strategy or other components of our overall business strategy if we believe our current strategy is not effective, if our business or markets change, or for other reasons, which may cause fluctuations in our financial results.

Manufacturing expansion to add capacity, manufacturing realignments, and other cost savings programs could result in a decrease in our near-term earnings. We continually review our manufacturing operations. These reviews could result in the expansion of capacity, manufacturing realignments and various cost savings programs. Effects of manufacturing expansion, realignments or cost savings programs could result in a decrease in our short-term earnings until the additional capacity is in place, cost reductions are achieved and/or production volumes stabilize. Such manufacturing expansions, realignments and programs involve substantial planning, often require capital investments, and may result in charges for fixed asset impairments or obsolescence and substantial severance costs. We also cannot assure you that we will achieve all of the intended cost savings. Our ability to achieve cost savings and other benefits within expected time frames is subject to many estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive, and other uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. If these estimates and assumptions are incorrect, if we experience delays, or if other unforeseen events occur, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, downturns in the economy could potentially have a larger impact on American Woodmark as a result of this added capacity.

We may record future goodwill impairment charges or other asset impairment charges which could negatively impact our future results of operations and financial condition. We have recorded significant goodwill as a result of the RSI Acquisition, and goodwill and other acquired intangible assets represent a substantial portion of our assets. We also have long-lived assets consisting of property and equipment and other identifiable intangible assets which we review both on an annual basis as well as when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If a determination is made that a significant impairment in value of goodwill, other intangible assets or long-lived assets has occurred, such determination could require us to impair a substantial portion of our assets. Asset impairments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuating raw material and energy costs could have a material adverse effect on our business and results


of operations. We purchase various raw materials, including, among others, wood, wood-based and resin products, which
are subject to price fluctuations that could materially increase our manufacturing costs. Further, increases in energy costs increase our production costs and also the cost to transport our products, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, some of our suppliers have consolidated and other suppliers may do so in the future. Combined with increased demand, such consolidation could increase the price of our supplies and raw materials.

We also may be unwilling or unable to pass on to customers commensurate cost increases. Competitive considerations and customer resistance to price increases may delay or make us unable to adjust selling prices. To the extent we are unable to either reengineer or otherwise offset increased costs or are unwilling or unable to build price increases into our sales prices, our margins will be negatively affected. Even if we are able to increase our selling prices, sustained price increases for our products may lead to sales declines and loss of market share, particularly if our competitors do not increase their prices. Conversely, when raw materials or energy prices decline, we may receive customer pressure to reduce our sales prices.

These prices are market-based and fluctuate based on factors beyond our control. We do not have long-term fixed supply agreements and do not hedge against price fluctuations. We, therefore, cannot predict our raw materials costs for the coming year.

The inability to obtain raw materialsfiscal year ended April 30, 2020 and there have been no material changes from suppliers in a timely manner would adversely affect our ability to manufacture and market our products. Our ability to offer a wide variety of products depends on our ability to obtain an adequate supply of
components from manufacturers and other suppliers, particularly wood-based and resin products. Failure by our suppliers to provide us with quality products on commercially reasonable terms, and to comply with legal requirements for business practices, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, we rely heavily or, in certain cases, exclusively, on outside suppliers for some of our key components. While we do not rely exclusively on any one supplier for any particular raw materials, the loss of a major supplier could increase our costs to obtain raw materials until we obtain an adequate alternative source of materials.

We typically do not enter into long-term contracts with our suppliers or sourcing partners. Instead, most raw materials and sourced goods are obtained on a “purchase order” basis. Although these components are generally obtainable in sufficient quantities from other sources, resourcing them from another supplier could take time. Financial, operating, or other difficulties encountered by our suppliers or sourcing partners or changes in our relationships with them could result in manufacturing or sourcing interruptions, delays and inefficiencies, and prevent us from manufacturing enough products to meet customer demands.

Our operations may be adversely affected by information systems interruptions or intrusions. We rely on a number of information technology systems to process, transmit, store and manage information to support our business activities. Increased global cybersecurity vulnerabilities, threats and more sophisticated and targeted attacks pose a risk to our information technology systems. We have established security policies, processes and layers of defense designed to help identify and protect against intentional and unintentional misappropriation or corruption of our systems and information and disruption of our operations. Despite these efforts, systems may be damaged, disrupted, or shut down due to attacks by unauthorized access, malicious software, undetected intrusion, hardware failures, or other events, and in these circumstances our disaster recovery planning may be ineffective or inadequate. These breaches or intrusions could lead to business interruption, exposure of proprietary or confidential information, data corruption, damage to our reputation, exposure to litigation and increased operational costs. Such events could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, we could be adversely affected if any of our significant customers or suppliers experience any similar events that disrupt their business operations or damage their reputation.

Increased compliance costs or liabilities associated with environmental regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our facilities are subject to numerous environmental laws, regulations and permits, including those governing emissions to air, discharges to water, storage, treatment and disposal of waste, remediation of contaminated sites and protection of worker health and safety. We may not be in complete compliance with these laws, regulations or permits at all times. Our efforts to comply with environmental requirements do not remove
the risk that we may incur material liabilities, fines or penalties for, among other things, releasesfactors disclosed.  Additional risks are discussed elsewhere in this report, including in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of regulated materials occurring on or emanating from current or formerly owned or operated properties or any associated offsite disposal location, or for contamination discovered at anyFinancial Condition and Results of our properties from activities conducted by previous occupants. Liability for environmental contamination or a release of hazardous materials may be joint and several, so that we may be held responsible for more than our share of the contamination or other damages, or even for the entire share.

Changes in environmental laws and regulations or the discovery of previously unknown contamination or other liabilities relating to our properties and operations could result in significant environmental liabilities that could impact our business,


financial condition or results of operation. In addition, we may incur capital and other costs to comply with increasingly stringent environmental laws and enforcement policies. These laws, including, for example, the regulations relating to formaldehyde emissions promulgated by the California Air Resources Board, require us to rely on compliance by our suppliers of raw materials. Should a supplier fail to comply with such regulations, notify us of non-compliance, or provide us with a product that does not comply, we could be subject to disruption in our business and incur substantial liabilities.

Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information provided to us by customers, employees or third parties could harm our business. We rely on the internet and other electronic methods to transmit confidential information and store confidential information on our networks. If there were a disclosure of confidential information provided by, or concerning, our employees, customers or other third parties, including through inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination, or unauthorized access, our reputation could be harmed and we could be subject to civil or criminal liability and regulatory actions.

Changes in government and industry regulatory standards could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Government regulations pertaining to health and safety and environmental concerns continue to emerge, domestically as well as internationally. These regulations include the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration and other worker safety regulations for the protection of employees, as well as regulations for the protection of consumers. It is necessary for us to comply with current requirements (including requirements that do not become effective until a future date), and even more stringent requirements could be imposed on our products or processes. Compliance with these regulations may require us to alter our manufacturing and installation processes and our sourcing. Such actions could increase our capital expenditures and adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations, and our inability to effectively and timely meet such regulations could adversely impact our competitive position.

The loss of certain members of our management may have an adverse effect on our operating results. Our success will depend, in part, on the efforts of our senior management and other key employees. These individuals possess sales, marketing, engineering, manufacturing, financial and administrative skills and know-how that are critical to the operation of our business. If we lose or suffer an extended interruption in the services of one or more of our senior officers or other key employees, our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected. Moreover, the pool of qualified individuals may be highly competitive and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel to replace or succeed members of our senior
management or other key employees, should the need arise. The loss of the services of any key personnel, or our inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills, could impair our ability to develop new products or enhance existing products, sell products to our customers or manage our business effectively.

We could continue to pursue growth opportunities through either acquisitions, mergers or internally developed projects, which may be unsuccessful or may adversely affect future financial condition and operating results. We could continue to pursue opportunities for growth through either acquisitions, mergers or internally developed projects as part of our growth strategy. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in integrating an acquired business or that an internally developed project will perform at the levels we anticipate. We may pay for future acquisitions using cash, stock, the assumption of debt, or a combination of these. Future acquisitions could result in dilution to existing shareholders and to earnings per share. In addition, we may fail to identify significant liabilities or risks associated with a given acquisition that could adversely affect our future financial condition and operating results or result in us paying more for the acquired business or assets than they are worth.

Our ability to operate and our growth potential could be materially and adversely affected if we cannot employ, train and retain qualified personnel at a competitive cost. Many of the products that we manufacture and assemble require manual processes in plant environments. We believe that our success depends upon our ability to attract, employ, train and retain qualified personnel with the ability to design, manufacture and assemble these products. In addition, our ability to expand our operations depends in part on our ability to increase our skilled labor force as the housing market continues to recover in the
United States. A significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our qualified labor force, increases in the wage rates that we must pay, or both. In addition, we believe that our success depends in part on our ability to quickly and effectively train additional workforce to handle the increased volume and production while minimizing labor inefficiencies and maintaining product quality in a housing market recovery. If either of these events were to occur, our cost structure could increase, our margins could decrease, and any growth potential could be impaired.

We manufacture our products internationally and are exposed to risks associated with doing business globally. We manufacture our products in the United States and Mexico and sell our products in the United States. Accordingly, we are subject to risks associated with potential disruption caused by changes in political, monetary, economic and social environments, including civil and political unrest, terrorism, possible expropriation, local labor conditions, changes in laws, regulations and policies of foreign governments and trade disputes with the United States, and compliance with U.S. laws


affecting activities of U.S. companies abroad, including tax laws, economic sanctions and enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights.

We are also subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-bribery laws. While we have implemented safeguards and policies to discourage these practices by our employees and agents, our existing safeguards and policies to assure compliance and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective and our employees or agents may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. If employees violate our policies, we may be subject to regulatory sanctions. Violations of these laws or regulations could result in sanctions including fines, debarment from export privileges and penalties and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We may hedge certain foreign currency transactions in the future; however, a change in the value of the currencies may impact our financial statements when translated into U.S. dollars. In addition, fluctuations in currency can adversely impact the cost position in local currency of our products, making it more difficult for us to compete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage our business through the impact of these potential changes.

In addition, we source raw materials and components from Asia where we have recently experienced higher manufacturing costs and longer lead times due to currency fluctuations, higher wage rates, labor shortages and higher raw material costs. Our international sourcing of materials could be harmed by a variety of factors including:
introduction of non-native invasive organisms into new environments;
recessionary trends in international markets;
legal and regulatory changes and the burdens and costs of our compliance with a variety of laws, including export controls, import and customs trade restrictions and tariffs;
increases in transportation costs or transportation delays;
work stoppages and labor strikes;
fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies; and
political unrest, terrorism and economic instability.

If any of these or other factors were to render the conduct of our business in a particular country undesirable or impractical, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our failure to maintain acceptable quality standards could result in significant unexpected costs. Any failure to maintain acceptable quality standards could require us to recall or redesign such products, or pay substantial damages, any of which would result in significant unexpected costs. We may also have difficulty controlling the quality of products or components sourced from other manufacturers, so we are exposed to risks relating to the quality of such products and to limitations on our recourse against such suppliers. Further, any claim or product recall could result in adverse publicity against us, which could decrease our credibility, harm our reputations, adversely affect our sales, or increase our costs. Defects in our products could also result in decreased orders or sales to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.

New U.S. tax legislation could adversely affect us and our debt holders. On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed the Tax Act into law. The Tax Act is generally effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Tax Act includes significant amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code”), including amendments that lower the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, including the taxation of offshore earnings and the deductibility of interest. Some of the amendments could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

While the Company has not yet completed the assessment of the effects of the Tax Act, we are able to determine reasonable estimates for the impacts of the key items specified above, thus we reported provisional amounts for these items. The Company is still analyzing the impact of the provisions of the law on our deferred tax balances and refining our calculations which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. The provisional amount determined and recorded for the re-measurement of our deferred tax balances resulted in a net reduction in deferred assets of $1.6 million. While we have made a reasonable estimate of the impact of the federal corporate tax rate reduction, that estimate could change as we complete our analysis of all impacts of the Tax Act.

Future tax law changes or the interpretation of existing tax laws may materially impact our effective income tax rate and the resolution of unrecognized tax benefits. Our businesses are subject to taxation in the United States as well as internationally. Tax legislation may be enacted that could have a material adverse impact on our worldwide income tax provision. Tax authorities in many jurisdictions routinely audit us. Because there are significant uncertainties in the outcome of such audits, the ultimate outcome from any audit could be materially different from amounts reflected in our income tax


provisions and accruals. Future settlements of income tax audits may have a material adverse effect on earnings between the period of initial recognition of tax estimates in our financial statements and the point of ultimate tax audit settlement.

Natural disasters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Many of our facilities are located in regions that are vulnerable to natural disasters and other risks, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, tropical storms and snow and ice, which at times have disrupted the local economy and posed physical risks to our property. In addition, the continued threat of terrorism and heightened security and military action in response to this threat, or any future acts of terrorism, may cause further disruptions to the economies of the United States and other countries. Our redundant, multiple site capacity may not be sufficient in the event of a natural disaster, terrorist act or other catastrophic event. Such disruptions could, among other things, disrupt our manufacturing or distribution facilities and result in delays or cancellations of customer orders for our products, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, if a natural disaster occurs in a region from which we derive a significant portion of our revenue, end-user customers in that region may delay or forego purchases of our products, which may materially and adversely impact our operating results for a particular period.

Our ability to grow and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available to us or not available on terms favorable to us. The ability of our business to grow and compete depends on the availability of adequate capital, which in turn depends in large part on our cash flow from operations and the availability of equity and debt financing. We cannot assure you that our cash flow from operations will be sufficient or that we will be able to obtain equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, if at all, to implement our growth strategy. As a result, we cannot assure you that adequate capital will be available to finance our current growth plans, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.

Certain of our customers have been expanding and may continue to expand through consolidation and internal growth, which may increase their buying power, which could materially and adversely affect our sales, results of operations and financial position. Certain of our customers are large companies with significant buying power. In addition, potential further
consolidation in the distribution channels could enhance the ability of certain of our customers to seek more favorable terms, including pricing, for the products that they purchase from us. Accordingly, our ability to maintain or raise prices in the future may be limited, including during periods of raw material and other cost increases. If we are forced to reduce prices or to maintain prices during periods of increased costs, or if we lose customers because of pricing or other methods of competition, our sales, operating results and financial position may be materially and adversely affected.

We may experience difficulties in integrating American Woodmark and RSI’s operations and realizing the expected benefits of the RSI Acquisition. The success of the RSI Acquisition will depend in part on our ability to realize the anticipated business opportunities and growth prospects from combining with RSI in an efficient and effective manner. We may never realize these business opportunities and growth prospects. Further, our management might have its attention diverted while trying to integrate operations and corporate and administrative infrastructures.

The integration process could take longer than anticipated and could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of our and RSI’s ongoing businesses, tax costs or inefficiencies, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, information technology systems, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, employees or other third parties, or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the transaction, and could harm our financial performance. If we are unable to successfully or timely integrate the operations of RSI’s business with our business, we may incur unanticipated liabilities and be unable to realize the revenue growth, synergies and other anticipated benefits resulting from the transaction, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

American Woodmark and RSI’s important business relationships may be disrupted due to the RSI Acquisition, which could adversely affect American Woodmark’s and RSI’s business, respectively. Some of the parties with which American Woodmark and RSI do business may be uncertain about their business relationships with the combined company as a result of the RSI Acquisition. For example, customers, partners, resellers, suppliers, vendors and others may consider entering into alternative business relationships with other parties. Some of RSI’s customers, partners, resellers, suppliers, vendors and others may decide to exercise their rights to terminate contracts that were triggered upon completion of the RSI Acquisition. These disruptions could have an adverse effect on RSI’s and/or American Woodmark’s businesses, financial condition or results of operations, or the prospects of the combined company.

Our level and terms of indebtedness could adversely affect our business and liquidity position. Our consolidated indebtedness level could have important consequences to us, including, among other things, increasing our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions; requiring a portion of our cash flow used in operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our liquidity and our ability to use our cash flow to


fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities; exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates, and corresponding increased interest expense, because borrowingsOperations” under the Credit Facilities are at variable rates of interest; reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitionsheadings “Forward-Looking Statements” and other general corporate purposes, due to the costs and expenses associated with such debt; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions, and general corporate or other purposes; and limiting our ability to adjust to changing marketplace conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who may have less debt.“Outlook.”


If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations, which could cause us to default on our debt obligations and impair our liquidity. In the event of a default under any of our indebtedness, the holders of the defaulted debt could elect to declare all the funds borrowed to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, which in turn could result in cross-defaults under our other indebtedness. The lenders under the Credit Facilities could also elect to terminate their commitments thereunder and cease making further loans, and such lenders could institute foreclosure proceedings against their collateral, all of which could adversely affect our financial condition in a material way.

The Credit Agreement and the indenture that governs the Senior Notes impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities or otherwise negatively impact our business.The Credit Agreement and the indenture that governs the Senior Notes impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers, consolidations and certain other fundamental changes; dispose of assets; make advances, investments and loans; engage in sale and leaseback transactions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into contractual arrangements that encumber or restrict the ability to (A) (i) pay dividends or make distributions, (ii) pay indebtedness, (iii) make loans or advances or (iv) sell, lease or transfer property, in each case to us and our subsidiaries, or (B) incur liens; pay dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of capital stock or subordinated debt; repurchase or retire capital stock, warrants or options or subordinated debt; and amend the terms of documents governing, or make payments prior to the scheduled maturity of, certain other indebtedness.

As a result of these restrictions, each of which is subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, we will be limited as to how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with these existing covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants.

Our failure to comply with the restrictive covenants described above as well as other terms of our indebtedness and/or the terms of any future in debtedness from time to time could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in our being required to repay these borrowings before their due date. If we are forced to refinance these borrowings on less favorable terms or cannot refinance these borrowings, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

(1) Under a stock repurchase authorization approved by its Board of Directors on November 30, 2015, the Company was authorized to purchase up to $20 million of the Company's common shares. On November 30, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $50 million of the Company's common shares. This authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 19, 2015. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms the Company deems appropriate and subject to the Company's cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing Senior Notes, and other factors management deems relevant. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific number of shares during any period, and the authorization may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board. Management expects to fund any share repurchases using available cash and cash generated from operations. Repurchased shares will become authorized but unissued common shares. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company repurchased 58,371 common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $5.5 million, under the authorization, pursuant to a repurchase plan intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. At January 31, 2018, $36.0 million remained authorized by the Company's Board of Directors to repurchase the Company's common shares. The Company announced on December 1, 2017 that it was suspending its stock repurchase program in conjunction with the RSI Acquisition.
