NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note A--Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the ~~nine-month~~six-month period ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, ~~2019.~~2020. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, ~~2018~~2019 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

On December 29, 2017, we completed the acquisition of RSI Home Products Inc. ("RSI"), a leading manufacturer of kitchen and bath cabinetry and home organization products. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2019, the consolidated results include three and nine months of RSI activity and in the prior year three and nine months ended January 31, 2018, only RSI activity from December 29, 2017 to January 31, 2018 is included.

Goodwill and 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.

In accordance with accounting standards, when evaluating goodwill, 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-month~~six-month periods ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 and 2018.

Intangible assets consist of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The Company amortizes the cost of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 6 years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. There were no0 impairment charges related to intangible assets for the three- and ~~nine-month~~six-month periods ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 and 2018.

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 ~~January~~October 31, 2019, the Company held forward contracts maturing from ~~February~~November 2019 to April ~~2019~~2020 to purchase ~~105.9~~228.1 million Mexican pesos at exchange rates ranging from ~~20.28~~19.45 to ~~20.47~~19.91 Mexican pesos to one U.S. dollar. An asset of ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million is recorded in prepaid expenses and other ~~current assets~~ on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

~~Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current year presentation.~~

Note B--New Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~May 2014,~~February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date." ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that period. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 as of May 1, 2018 and for periods thereafter using the modified retrospective

approach, which was applied to all contracts not completed as of May 1, 2018. The cumulative effect of adopting the new revenue standard was not material. The comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2019 and the Company does not expect it to have a material impact on revenue or net income on an ongoing basis. See Note O, “Revenue Recognition,” for further information.

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU~~ 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a ~~“right-of-use”~~right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability but recognize related expenses in a manner similar to current accounting. The guidance also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions for all entities. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, which clarifies the application of the new leases guidance to land easements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11, which clarify certain guidance included in ASU 2016-02 and introduces a new optional transition method.liability. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard provides for the option to elect a package of practical expedients upon adoption. The Company ~~intends to adopt~~adopted the standard on May 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach and ~~is currently planning on electing~~elected the package of practical expedients that allows it to ~~not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases,~~forgo reassessment of lease classification ~~and initial direct costs and is evaluating~~for leases that have already commenced. The Company also elected the ~~other~~ practical expedients ~~available under the guidance. The Company expects expanded financial statement note disclosure in addition~~ to recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability for its operating leases on the balance sheet. In preparation for the adoption of the standard, the Company has procured a third-party software to track and manage the leases. The Company is currently in the process of importing lease data into the software, updating its accounting policy, and modifying its control environment accordingly, and will train personnel on the new standard without restating comparative prior period financial information and ~~policy~~to not recognize ROU assets and ~~the use of the software. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting the standard.~~

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit (income) cost. The other components of net benefit (income) cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside ofliabilities for operating income. The amendments also allow only the service cost component of net benefit (income) cost to be eligible for capitalization. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied (1) retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension (income) cost and net periodic postretirement benefit (income) cost on the income statement, and (2) prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension (income) cost and net periodic postretirement benefit (income) cost in assets. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 as ofleases with shorter than 12-month terms. On May 1, ~~2018~~2019, the Company recognized operating lease assets and ~~for periods thereafter using the retrospective approach.~~operating lease liabilities of $80.4 million. The ~~adoption of this~~new standard ~~resulted in immaterial reclassifications from operating income in prior periods. The Company does~~did not ~~expect the adoption of this standard to~~ have a material ~~effect~~impact on ~~our financial statements~~the Company's results of operations or cash flows, or on ~~an ongoing basis.~~its debt covenant calculations. ASU 2016-02 also requires entities to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Such disclosures are included in Note P--Leases.

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

On November 30, 2017, American Woodmark, Alliance Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), 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.

In connection with the RSI Acquisition, on December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as subsequently amended, 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~~).

~~Allocation of Purchase Price to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed~~

As consideration for the RSI Acquisition, American Woodmark paid total accounting consideration of $554.2 million including (i) cash consideration of $364.4 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 was subject to a working capital adjustment by which the consideration was adjusted as the amount of working capital delivered at the Acquisition Date was less than a target amount. The working capital adjustment has been finalized and the accounting consideration reflects any adjustment to the estimated working capital reflected in the consideration paid at the Acquisition Date.

The Company accounted for the RSI Acquisition 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 obtained 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. During the quarter ended October 31, 2018, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation for the RSI Acquisition.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price as of the Acquisition Date, which is based on the accounting consideration of $554.2 million, to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

Goodwill    $ 767,612
Customer relationship intangibles    274,000
Property, plant and equipment    86,275
Inventories    66,293
Customer receivables    54,649
Income taxes receivable    18,926
Trademarks    10,000
Prepaid expenses and other    4,571
Leasehold interests    151
Total identifiable assets and goodwill acquired    1,282,477

Debt    602,313
Deferred income taxes    67,542
Accrued expenses    30,240
Accounts payable    25,113
Notes payable    2,988
Income taxes payable    49
Total liabilities assumed    728,245

Total accounting consideration    $ 554,232

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were 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, aside from debt, 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 purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $767.6 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 $57.1 million, less an allowance for returns and discounts of $2.4 million, and 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.

~~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 three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018:

Three months ended Nine months ended
January 31, January 31,
(in thousands) 2018 2018
Net Sales $ 382,618
$ 1,207,775
Net Income (loss) (1) $ (1,507 ) $ 45,812
Net earnings per share - basic $ (0.09 ) $ 2.60
Net earnings per share - diluted $ (0.08 ) $ 2.58

(1) Includes stock compensation expense of $23.1 million and $17.5 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018, 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 for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 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%. Significant pro forma adjustments include the recognition of additional amortization expense of $5.0 million and $18.1 million, for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2018, related to acquired intangible assets (net of historical amortization expense of RSI) and additional net interest expense of $0.4 million and $2.7 million, for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018, related to the $300.0 million borrowed under the Credit Agreement to finance the acquisition. Transaction expenses, net of tax, of $6.6 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2018, respectively, were also excluded from net income.

~~There were no proforma adjustments for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2019.~~

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.

Note ~~E--Stock-Based~~D--Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans. During the ~~three-months~~three months ended ~~January 31, 2019, the Company did not grant any stock-based compensation awards to employees or non-employee directors. During the nine-months ended January~~October 31, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of 9,600 service-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") to non-employee directors. The service-based RSUs (i) vest daily through the end of the two-year vesting period as long as the recipient continuously remains a member of the Board and (ii) entitle the recipient to receive one share of the Company's common stock per unit vested. During the six-months ended October 31, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company also approved grants of service-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs to key ~~employees and non-employee directors.~~employees. The employee performance-based RSUs totaled ~~45,615~~61,379 units and the employee ~~and non-employee director~~ service-based RSUs totaled ~~30,335~~33,091 units. The performance-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive ~~one~~1 share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The service-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive ~~one~~1 share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if they remain continuously employed with the Company ~~(or, for non-employee directors, serving on the Board of Directors)~~ until the units vest.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019, the Company also approved grants of ~~4,057~~6,483 cash-settled performance-based restricted stock tracking units ("RSTUs") and ~~2,243~~3,482 cash-settled service-based RSTUs for more junior level employees. Each

performance-based RSTU entitles the recipient to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the

Company's common stock as of the payment date if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The service-based RSTUs entitle the recipients to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. All of the RSTUs cliff-vest three years from the grant date. Since the RSTUs will be settled in cash, the grant date fair value of these awards is recorded as a liability until the date of payment. The fair value of each cash-settled RSTU award is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the liability is adjusted, and related expense recorded, based on the new fair value. The Company recognized expense of ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million and ~~$0.6~~$(0.1) million for the three-month periods ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.2 million and ~~$1.0~~$0.2 million for the ~~nine-month~~six-month periods ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note ~~J--Product~~I--Product Warranty

The Company estimates outstanding warranty costs based on the historical relationship between warranty claims and revenues. The warranty accrual is reviewed monthly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates. Warranty claims are generally made within two months of the original shipment date.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s warranty liability, which is included in other accrued expenses on the balance sheet:

Note ~~L--Fair~~K--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 Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents, marketable securities and other investments; accounts receivable and accounts payable; and short- and long-term debt. The carrying values of cash and equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable and payable and short-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these items. The forward contracts were marked to market and therefore represent fair value. The fair values of these contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from

information available in publicly quoted markets. The following table summarizes the fair value of assets and liabilities that are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of ~~January~~October 31, 2019 and April 30, ~~2018~~2019 at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Note ~~M--Loans~~L--Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt

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, the "Credit Facilities"). The Company borrowed the entire $250 million available under each of the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term ~~Loan. Also~~Loan on December 29, 2017 ~~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 portion of the RSI Acquisition consideration and the Company’s transaction fees and expenses related to the RSI Acquisition. On February 12, 2018, ~~the Company borrowed the entire $250 million under the Delayed Draw Term~~respectively, in connection with ~~the~~its acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. (“RSI”) and subsequent refinancing of the RSI Notes and to repay, in part, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility. In connection with its entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its prior $35 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo.RSI’s debt. The Company is required to make specified quarterly installments on both the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Loan. As of ~~January~~October 31, 2019, ~~$180.5~~$134 million ~~remained~~was outstanding on each of the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Loan ~~which approximate~~for a total of $268 million. As of April 30, 2019, $170 million was outstanding on each of the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Loan for a total of $340 million. The outstanding balance approximates fair value as the Initial Term Loan and ~~no amount was~~Delayed Draw Term Loan have a floating interest rate. There were 0 amounts outstanding on the Revolving ~~Facility.~~Facility as of October 31, 2019 or April 30, 2019. 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 also incurs 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. ~~On January 25,~~As of October 31, 2019, ~~the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) that reduced~~ the applicable margin ~~for both LIBOR rate and~~with respect to base rate loans and ~~reduced~~LIBOR loans was 0.50% and 1.50%, respectively, and the commitment fee ~~incurred on unused portions of the Revolving Facility.~~was 0.18%.

The Credit Agreement includes certain financial ~~covenants. The Amendment amended these~~ covenants, ~~by (i) removing the requirement to maintain a “Total Secured Debt to EBITDA Ratio” of no more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (ii) setting~~including a maximum “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio” as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending through January 31, 2020 of no more than 3.50 to 1.00 and thereafter, 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 ~~maximum Total Funded Debt~~Company is also required to ~~EBITDA Ratio applicable prior~~maintain a “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” of no less than 1.25 to ~~the Amendment was 3.75 to 1.00, which was scheduled, prior to the Amendment, to decrease to 3.50 to 1.00 beginning April 30, 2019 and to 3.25 to 1.00 beginning April 30, 2020.~~1.00.

The Credit Agreement includes certain additional covenants, including negative covenants that restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens on its assets, dispose of its assets or engage in a merger or another 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 ~~further~~also 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. In

~~September 2018,~~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 ~~entered into an amendment~~is also permitted to ~~the Credit Agreement that amended the restricted payments covenant to~~make (i) ~~permit~~ unlimited restricted payments so long as the “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio” would be less than or equal to ~~2.50~~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) ~~permit~~ 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. The Amendment further amended the restricted payments covenant to increase the “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio” applicable to the exception permitting unlimited restricted payments discussed above to 2.75 to 1.00. The negative covenants in the Credit Agreement also include a covenant restricting the Company’s ability to make certain investments. Prior to the Amendment, the Credit Agreement included an exception to this covenant for investments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the “Cumulative Credit” so long as the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio was less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 after giving effect to any such investment and no default or event of default had occurred and was continuing or would result from any such investment. The Amendment removes the Cumulative Credit cap from this exception such that the Company may make unlimited investments so long as the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio and the absence of a default or event of default conditions noted in the prior sentence are satisfied.

As of ~~January~~October 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants included in the Credit Agreement.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries are secured by a pledge of substantially all of their respective personal property.

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 mature on March 15, 2026 and interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each ~~year, which payments began 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. As of ~~January~~October 31, 2019, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

At ~~January~~October 31, 2019, the book value of the Senior Notes was $350 million and the fair value was ~~$325~~$357 million, based on Level 21 inputs.

~~Economic Development Loans~~

In 2005, the Company entered into two separate loan agreements with the Maryland Economic Development Corporation and the County Commissioners of Allegany County as part of the Company’s capital investment and operations at the Allegany County, Maryland site. The aggregate balance of these loan agreements was $2.2 million as of April 30, 2018. The loan agreements expired at December 31, 2018. Based on the employment levels maintained and the terms of the loan agreements, the Company expects that $2.1 million of aggregate principal and $0.9 million of accrued interest will be forgiven and has derecognized these liabilities into income. The Company expects to repay $0.1 million before the end of fiscal year 2019.

The Company had two loan agreements with the West Virginia Economic Development Authority as part of the Company’s capital investment and operations at the South Branch plan located in Hardy County, West Virginia. The loans expired on December 31, 2018 and aggregate principal of $2.3 million and accrued interest of $0.2 million was forgiven as the Company complied with certain employment levels at the facility.

Note ~~N--Income~~M--Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three- and ~~nine-month~~six-month periods ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 was ~~23.7%~~26.1% and ~~24.9%~~26.0%, respectively, compared with ~~47.0%~~27.2% and ~~33.9%~~25.4% in the comparable periods in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the effective tax rate for ~~both~~ the ~~third~~second quarter ~~and first nine months of fiscal 2019,~~ as compared to the comparable ~~periods~~period in the prior fiscal year was primarily due to ~~a benefit from the reduction~~less unfavorable permanent tax items. The overall increase in the tax rate enacted in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (H.R. 1) (the “Tax Act”) from 35% to 21%. Additionally, the revaluation of deferred tax assets and nondeductible acquisition related expenses resulted in a higher effective tax rate infor the first half of fiscal 2020 as compared to the comparable ~~periods~~period in the prior ~~fiscal year. This~~year was ~~partially offset by the~~primarily due to a decrease ofin the benefit from stock-based compensation ~~transactions and the repeal of the domestic production activities deduction by the Tax Act.~~

transactions. During the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, the Company recognized an excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation transactions of ~~$0.7~~$0.1 million and ~~$2.3~~$0.7 million, respectively.

Comprehensive tax legislation enacted through the Tax Act on December 22, 2017 significantly modified U.S. corporate income tax law. In addition to its corporate income tax rate reduction, several other provisions of the Tax Act impacted the Company's financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended April 30, 2018 or will have an impact on taxes in future years.

The Company recognized the income tax effects of the Tax Act in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) which provides SEC guidance on the application of ASC 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period in which the Tax Act was signed into law. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements as of April 30, 2018 reflected provisional amounts for those impacts for which the accounting under ASC 740 was incomplete, but a reasonable estimate could be determined. As of January 31, 2019, we consider the accounting for all impacts of the Tax Act complete.

The Company recorded a provisional expense of $1.0 million related to the re-valuation of U.S. deferred taxes as of April 30, 2018. During the nine months ended January 31, 2019, the company recorded $0.3 million of additional expense related to our pension deferred tax liability. No other changes were made to the provisional estimate and no additional measurement period adjustments were recorded.

As of April 30, 2018, the Company recorded a reduction in deferred tax assets related to executive compensation of $0.1 million. No further guidance on this provision of the Tax Act was issued by the IRS and no further adjustments were made during the quarter ended January 31, 2019.

Note ~~O--Revenue~~N--Revenue Recognition

Our principal performance obligations are the sale of kitchen, bath and home organization products. We recognize revenue for the sale of goods based on our assessment of when control transfers to our customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods to our customers. Payment terms on our product sales normally range from 30 to 90 days. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that we collect are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our contractual warranties will continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note J--Product Warranty for further discussion.

We record estimates to reduce revenue for customer programs and incentives, which are considered variable consideration, and include price discounts, volume-based incentives, promotions and cooperative advertising when revenue is recognized in order to determine the amount of consideration the Company will ultimately be entitled to receive. These estimates are based on historical data and projections for each type of customer. In addition, for certain customer program incentives, we receive an identifiable benefit (goods or services) in exchange for the consideration given and record the associated expenditure in selling, general and administrative expenses.

We account for shipping and handling costs that occur before the customer has obtained control of a product as a fulfillment activity rather than as a promised service. These costs are classified within selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into major sales distribution channels as these categories depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows that are affected by economic factors. The following table disaggregates our consolidated revenue by major sales distribution channels for the three- and ~~nine-months~~six-months ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 and 2018:

Note ~~P--Concentration~~O--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~~October 31, 2019, the Company's two largest customers, Customers A and B, represented ~~26.4%~~25.5% and ~~24.4%~~19.7% of the Company's gross customer receivables, respectively. At ~~January~~October 31, 2018, Customers A and B represented ~~31.3%~~26.9% and 22.0% of the Company’s gross customer receivables, respectively.

The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales attributable to the Company's two largest customers for the three- and ~~nine-months~~six-months ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 and 2018:

Note ~~R--Other~~P--Leases

On May 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases. Changes to the Company’s accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below.

Operating Leases - ROU assets related to operating leases are presented as “Operating lease right-of-use assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease liabilities related to operating leases that are subject to the ASC 842 measurement requirements such as operating leases with lease terms greater than twelve months are presented in “Short-term lease liability - operating” and “Long-term lease liability - operating” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined, in which case, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Operating lease ROU assets may also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may also include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. The Company has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for separately. Non-lease components of the lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included in determining the present value.

Finance Leases - ROU assets related to finance leases are presented in "Property, plant and equipment, net” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Lease liabilities related to finance leases are presented in “Current maturities of long-term debt” and “Long-term debt, less current maturities” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Finance lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined, in which case, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

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”, 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~~October 31, 2019.

American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen, bath and home organization products for the remodeling and new home construction markets. Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers and builders and through

a network of independent dealers and distributors. On ~~January~~October 31, 2019, the Company operated eighteen manufacturing facilities in the United States and Mexico and eight primary service centers located throughout the United States.

On December 29, 2017, we completed the acquisition of RSI, a leading manufacturer of kitchen, bath and home organization products. For the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2019, the consolidated results include three- and nine-months of RSI activity and in the prior year three- and nine-months ended January 31, 2018, only RSI activity from December 29, 2017 to January 31, 2018 is included.

The three-month period ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 was the Company’s ~~third~~second quarter of its fiscal year that ends on April 30, ~~2019~~2020 (“fiscal ~~2019”~~2020”).

The Company’s remodeling-based business was impacted by the following trends during the ~~third~~second quarter of the Company’s fiscal ~~2019:~~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 ~~increased~~decreased in the low-single digits during the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019.~~2020.

The Company’s remodeling sales, which consist of our independent dealer and distributor channel sales and home center retail sales, ~~increased 46%~~decreased 4.7% during the ~~third~~second quarter and ~~76%~~4.1% during the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same prior-year ~~period.~~periods. Our independent dealer and distributor channel ~~grew~~decreased by 9%7.9% during the ~~third~~second quarter and ~~17%~~6.3% during the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 when compared to the comparable prior-year ~~period and management believes that the Company has continued to improve market share in this channel.~~periods. Our home center channel ~~grew~~decreased by ~~61%~~3.8% during the ~~third~~second quarter and ~~106%~~3.4% during the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 when compared to the comparable prior-year ~~period. Much of this growth is attributable to~~periods.

New construction sales increased 8.9% in the ~~results from~~second quarter and 6.8% in the ~~RSI Acquisition which accounted for 48% of our remodeling sales during the third quarter~~first half of fiscal ~~2019 and 45% during the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Core sales decreased 3% during the third quarter and increased 6% during the first nine of fiscal 2019~~2020, when compared to the same ~~prior-year period. Excluding the impact~~periods of ~~RSI sales, management believes the Company maintained share within the home center channel during the current period.~~

~~Regarding new construction markets, the~~fiscal 2019. 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 ~~declined approximately 3.7%~~increased 1.6% during the ~~third~~second quarter of the Company’s fiscal ~~2019~~2020 over the comparable prior year period.

Sales in the new construction channel increased 12% in the third quarter and 16% during the first nine months of fiscal 2019, 8% and 10% of which was attributable to the inclusion of the two and eight incremental months of results, respectively, from the RSI Acquisition, when compared with the same periods of fiscal 2018. The Company believes it over indexed the market due to mix and share gains with existing customers.

The Company’s total net sales ~~rose 31%~~increased 0.7% during the ~~third~~second quarter and ~~47%~~0.2% during the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same prior-year ~~period,~~periods, which ~~management believes~~ was driven primarily by ~~sales from~~growth in the ~~RSI Acquisition plus a rise in overall market activity.~~builder channel.

The Company earned net income of ~~$18.4~~$22.2 million for the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, compared with ~~$2.0~~$18.5 million in the ~~third~~second quarter of its prior fiscal year, and earned net income of ~~$61.7~~$49.0 million for the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, compared with ~~$44.0~~$43.3 million in the same period of the prior year.

Results of Operations

Net Sales. Net sales were ~~$384.1~~$428.0 million for the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, an increase of ~~31%~~0.7% compared with the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019. For the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, net sales were ~~$1,237.9~~$855.4 million, reflecting a ~~47%~~0.2% increase compared to the same period of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019. The ~~increase~~Company experienced growth in ~~net sales~~the builder channel and stock home center business, which was offset by declines in the made-to-order home center and independent dealers and distributors channels during the ~~third~~second quarter and first half of fiscal 2019 was driven by two additional months of sales from the RSI Acquisition of $88.6 million and core growth of 1%. The increase in net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was driven by eight additional months of sales from the RSI Acquisition of $345.7 million and core growth of 6%.year 2020.

GrossProfit. Gross profit margin for the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 was ~~20.0%~~20.3%, compared with ~~17.2%~~20.4% for the same period of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019. Gross profit margin was ~~21.0%~~21.2% for the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, compared with ~~19.7%~~21.4% in the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2018.~~ 2019.

Gross margin in the ~~third~~second quarter and ~~the~~ first ~~nine months~~half of the current fiscal year was favorably impacted by higher sales volumes ~~price, mix~~ and ~~overhead cost leverage due to higher volumes.~~improved operating efficiencies. These favorable impacts were partially offset by ~~higher transportation~~increased tariffs, costs ~~tariffs~~related to our particleboard supply disruption (see discussion below) and ~~raw material inflation. In addition,~~duplicate rent costs related to our California facility move of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the ~~prior year results included $6.3 million in inventory step-up amortization.~~three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2019, respectively.

Selling andMarketing Expenses.Selling and marketing expenses were ~~5.8%~~4.8% of net sales in the ~~third~~second quarter and first half of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, compared with ~~6.5%~~5.4% of net sales for the same ~~period~~periods in fiscal ~~2018. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, selling and marketing expenses were 5.5% of net sales, compared with 6.6% of net sales for the same period of fiscal 2018.~~2019. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased during the ~~third~~second quarter and first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 as a result of ~~leverage from higher sales.~~ongoing expense controls and lower personnel costs.

General andAdministrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were ~~7.2%~~7.0% of net sales in the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, compared with ~~8.0%~~6.8% of net sales in the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2018~~2019 and 6.9% of net sales in both the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019 compared with 4.9% of net sales in the same period in fiscal 2018.~~2020 and 2019. The ~~decrease~~increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales during the ~~third~~second quarter was driven by leverage from higher sales and a reduction in acquisition related expenses of $9.6 million, which was partially offset by an additional $8.2 million of intangible assets amortization. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was driven by additional amortization of intangible assets of $32.6 million, acquisition related expenses and higher incentive compensation costs.

Effective Income Tax Rates.The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three- and ~~nine-month~~six-month periods ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 and 2018 was ~~23.7%~~26.1% and ~~24.9%~~26.0%, respectively, compared with ~~47.0%~~27.2% and ~~33.9%, respectively,~~25.4% in the comparable periods ofin the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the effective ~~income~~ tax rate for the ~~third~~second quarter ~~and first nine months of fiscal 2019~~ as compared to the comparable ~~periods~~period in the prior fiscal year was primarily due to ~~a benefit from the reduction~~less unfavorable permanent tax items. The overall increase in the federal corporate tax rate enacted in connection with the Tax Act from 35% to 21%. Additionally, the revaluation of deferred tax assets and nondeductible acquisition related expenses resulted in a higher effective tax rate infor the first half of fiscal 2020 as compared to the comparable ~~periods~~period in the prior ~~fiscal year. This~~year was ~~partially offset by the~~primarily due to a decrease ofin the benefit from stock-based compensation ~~transactions and the repeal of the domestic production activities deduction by the Tax Act.~~transactions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. We have reported our financial results in accordance with 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 information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company’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 per share impact of (1) expenses related to the RSI acquisition and subsequent restructuring charges, (2) ~~inventory step-up amortization due to the increase in the fair value of inventory acquired through the RSI acquisition, (3)~~ the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, ~~(4)~~(3) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and ~~(5)~~(4) the tax benefit of RSI acquisition expenses and subsequent restructuring charges, ~~the inventory step-up amortization,~~ 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 has 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 (income) 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) ~~inventory step-up amortization due to the increase in the fair value of inventory acquired through the RSI acquisition, (7)~~ stock-based compensation expense, ~~(8)~~(7) gain/loss on asset disposals, ~~(9)~~(8) unrealized gain/loss on foreign exchange forward contracts and ~~(10)~~(9) 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 percentage of net sales.

~~Net sales excluding RSI sales~~

To better understand and compare the performance of our core American Woodmark business by our management and our investors, we believe it is helpful to subtract the amount of sales from our recently acquired and now wholly-owned subsidiary, RSI, from our net sales and we report this amount with our quarterly earnings announcements. We may discontinue using this non-GAAP financial measure at a later juncture once RSI has become fully integrated into our Company and the quarter to quarter comparisons of our core business are no longer as helpful to compare performance.

~~A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth in the following tables:~~

(1) The current third fiscal quarter and first nine months results include two incremental months (November and December) and eight incremental months (May through December), respectively, of results from the Company’s acquisition of RSI, which closed December 29, 2017.

(1) Acquisition related expenses are comprised of expenses related to the RSI acquisition and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred.

(2) 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 changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recorded in other ~~income~~(income) expense in the operating results.

(3) The Company had loans and interest forgiven relating to four separate economic development loans totaling $5.5 million and the Company incurred $0.3 million in loan modification expense related to an amendment to the credit agreement during the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as projected for fiscal ~~2019~~2020 is not provided because we do not forecast ~~Net~~net income as we cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of ~~Net~~net income.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~quarter~~2020 was ~~$52.2~~$62.9 million or ~~13.6%~~14.7% of net sales compared to ~~$36.0~~$60.8 million or ~~12.3%~~14.3% of net sales for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first ~~nine~~six months of the fiscal year was ~~$181.1~~$132.5 million or ~~14.6%~~15.5% of net sales compared to ~~$110.4~~$128.9 million or ~~13.1%~~15.1% of net sales for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to ~~the inclusion of two incremental months during the current fiscal third quarter~~sales growth, improved operating efficiencies and ~~eight incremental months during the current fiscal year of results for RSI.~~lower selling and marketing expenses.

Outlook. The Company tracks 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 overall demand for kitchen and bath cabinetry.

The Company believes that housing starts will ~~grow,~~remain positive, driven by low unemployment rates, low mortgage rates and growth in new household formation. Based on available information, it is expected that new residential construction starts will grow approximately 2 to 3% during fiscal 2019. The Company’s new residential construction direct business is expected to increase at a rate faster thanHowever, the ~~market rate for single family housing starts.~~

~~The~~ Company expects that while the cabinet remodeling market will show modest improvement during fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, it will continue to be below historical averages.

The Company expects that industry-wide cabinet remodeling sales will continue to be challenged until economic trends remain consistently favorable. Growth is expected at ~~roughly~~ a ~~mid-single~~low single digit rate during the Company’s fiscal ~~2019.~~2020. The Company’s home center market share ~~will~~is expected to remain at normalized levels for fiscal ~~2019 after annualizing for market losses in the in-stock business,~~2020, however this is heavily dependent upon competitive promotional activity. The Company expects to ~~continue to~~ gain market share in its growing ~~dealer/~~independent dealer and distributor ~~business~~channel, however we believe the overall market will continue to soften with relatively flat growth.

Based on available information, it is expected that new residential construction starts will grow approximately low single digits during fiscal ~~2019.~~2020. The Company’s new residential construction direct business is expected to increase at a faster rate than the market rate for single family housing starts due to continued market share gains.

In total, the Company expects that it will grow ~~core~~ sales at a ~~mid-single~~low single digit rate in fiscal ~~2019 with total sales~~2020. This growth ~~of approximately 32 to 33%.~~rate is very dependent upon overall industry and economic growth. Margins will be challenged with increases in labor costs, raw materials, tariffs and ~~fuel~~transportation rates. The Company will be negatively impacted by the move of one of our California facilities and ~~transportation rates.~~incremental merchandising expenses and particle board supply disruption costs. The Company expects adjusted EBITDA margins for fiscal ~~2019 of 14.7~~2020 to ~~15.0% depending upon synergy timing and execution,~~remain flat with prior year results.

Particleboard Supply

Due to a catastrophic fire at a key Southeast supplier plant in May 2019 and the ~~significance~~supplier’s subsequent decision to shutter operations at two additional plants, the Company is currently experiencing higher costsin the supply of ~~inflation~~particleboard, a key input component to the build of our cabinetry. The Company has worked diligently to qualify additional suppliers, and our product engineering team has successfully transitioned to acceptable substitutions with a performance level that meets or exceeds that of particleboard.

We expect stable supply lines for particleboard will once again be established during the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company has recognized costs in excess of insurance reimbursements related to our particleboard supply disruption of $0.9 million and $2.4 million for the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 2019. Management currently expects that these events will have a negative impact on at least our third quarter of fiscal 2020 as the continued use of substituted materials will increase our costs. Our results could continue to be negatively impacted by product substitution costs and incremental transportation ~~rate increases.~~costs of $1.0 to $2.0 million per quarter until fully resolved.

The Company maintains property insurance, including business interruption/dependent property coverage with a limit of $5 million. The company has realized a $2.9 million reimbursement to date on the $5 million limit. The Company is working with

its insurance carrier to determine the ~~recently announced increase~~applicability of the coverage for the event. We expect the level of insurance proceeds will cover approximately 60% of the losses we incur due to these events, but there can be no assurance that we will ultimately be able to collect such amounts and such collection may occur in ~~tariffs on imported materials~~a different reporting period from ~~China, and assuming tariffs rise~~the reporting period where we experience losses due to ~~25%, we could be exposed to approximately $8.5 million of potential annual direct cost increases. We will work to mitigate the impact of~~ these ~~tariffs through a combination of price increases, supplier negotiations, supply chain repositioning and other internal productivity measures.~~ events.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~The RSI 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 and investments in certificates of deposit totaled ~~$44.5~~$51.4 million at ~~January~~October 31, 2019, representing a ~~$43.4~~$7.7 million decrease from its

April 30, ~~2018~~2019 levels. At ~~January~~October 31, 2019, total long-term debt (including current maturities) was $ ~~712.1~~620.3 million, a decrease of ~~$101.9~~$71.2 million from its balance at April 30, ~~2018.~~2019. The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital was ~~53.9%~~47.8% at ~~January~~October 31, 2019, compared with ~~58.2%~~52.6% at April 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

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 ~~$92.5~~$94.5 million was available under this facility as of ~~January~~October 31, 2019.

~~The Company borrowed $250~~As of October 31, 2019, $134 million ~~under~~was outstanding on each of the Initial Term Loan ~~on December 29, 2017 in connection with the closing of the RSI Acquisition~~ and ~~borrowed an additional $250 million under~~ the Delayed Draw Term Loan ~~on February 12, 2018 in connection with the refinancing~~for a total of ~~the RSI Notes.~~$268.0 million. 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 ranging between 0.00% and 1.00% or LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.00% and 2.00%, with the applicable margin being determined by reference to the Company’s then-current “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio.” The Company also incurs 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.” As of ~~January~~October 31, 2019, the applicable margin with respect to base rate loans and LIBOR loans was ~~0.75%~~0.50% and ~~1.75%~~1.50%, respectively, and the commitment fee was ~~0.20%~~0.18%.

The Company is required to repay the aggregate outstanding amounts under the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan in certain specified quarterly installments that began on April 30, 2018. The Credit Facilities mature on December 29, 2022.

~~On February 12, 2018,~~As of October 31, 2019, the ~~Company~~Company’s previously issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes remained outstanding.

The Senior Notes mature on ~~hand, to fund the refinancing of the RSI Notes.~~March 15, 2026.

The Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Senior Notes restrict the ability of the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens, make certain investments, dispose of assets or engage in a merger or consolidation, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and make certain restricted payments, including the payment of dividends or the repurchase or redemption of stock, subject, in each case, to the various exceptions and conditions described in the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

See Note ~~M--~~L--Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt for additional information about the Credit Facilities and Senior Notes and a discussion of our compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement and the indenture.

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 ~~$31.3~~$18.3 million in the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, compared with ~~$28.4~~$19.7 million in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019. The ~~increase~~decrease in cash used was due to a ~~net~~ decrease in ~~purchases and~~cash received from maturities of certificates of deposit, offset by the prior year payment of the working capital adjustment related to the acquisition of RSI.

During the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, net cash used by financing activities was ~~$143.1~~$74.2 million, compared with ~~$57.9~~$108.5 million in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

~~On November 28, 2018, the Board approved up to $5 million of discretionary funding to reduce its defined benefit pension liabilities.~~

Seasonal and Inflationary Factors

Our business has been subject to seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized in our 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. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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.

The Revolving Facility, Initial Term Loan and Delayed 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 ~~January~~October 31, 2019 would increase our annual interest expense by approximately ~~$3.6~~$2.7 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.

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 ~~January~~October 31, 2019. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are ~~effective.~~not effective as of October 31, 2019 due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting involving ineffective general information technology controls ("GITCs") related to RSI that was disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019 (our "2019 Annual Report").

During the quarter ended October 31, 2019, we continued to implement our remediation plan described in Part II, Item 9A of our 2019 Annual Report, which includes establishing additional training for certain RSI personnel to ensure a clear understanding of risk assessment and monitoring activities related to automated processes and IT systems and GITCs, documenting and executing robust policies and procedures over the GITC environment with a focus on user and privileged access controls and their impact on program change and computer operation controls, defining and documenting clear roles and responsibilities for certain departments to perform complete and timely user access reviews, and implementing consistent documentation requirements and retention to evidence the operation of GITC access controls. We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment

and implementing measures designed to help ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated as soon as possible. The weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of fiscal 2020.

Except as described ~~below,~~above, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~January~~October 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company acquired RSI on December 29, 2017. As permitted by SEC guidance with respect to newly acquired businesses, the Company excluded RSI from the scope of its Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 report on internal control over financial reporting for the year ended April 30, 2018. During the quarter ended January 31, 2019, the Company completed the integration of RSI into 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

Risk factors that may affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition are described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, ~~2018~~2019 and there have been no material changes from the risk factors ~~disclosed, except as set forth below and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended October 31, 2018.~~disclosed. Additional risks are discussed elsewhere in this report, including in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Outlook.”

~~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 also face competition with respect to some of our products from competitors in countries with lower regulatory, safety, environmental and other costs, such as China. These competitors may also benefit from certain local government subsidies or other incentives that are not available to us.

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.

(1) Under a stock repurchase authorization approved by its Board of Directors (the "Board") on November 30, 2016, the Company was authorized to purchase up to $50 million of the Company's common shares. The Board suspended the Company's stock repurchase program in conjunction with the RSI Acquisition. On August 23, 2018, the Board reinstated the program. On November 28, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $14 million of the Company's common shares. This authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 30, 2016. Management expects to fund share repurchases using available cash and cash generated from operations. Repurchased shares will

become authorized but unissued common shares. At January 31, 2019, $9.0 million remained authorized by the Board to repurchase the Company’s common shares. The Company purchased a total of 628,714 common shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $41.0 million, during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 under the authorizations 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.

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. 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.
