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 0no impairment charges related to goodwill for the three- and six-month periods ended October 31, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

Note Q--RestructuringR--Restructuring

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company implemented nationwide reductions in force, which were substantially completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and first quarter of fiscal 2021, respectively. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2021, the Company recognized pre-tax restructuring charges, net of $(0.1) million and $1.6 million respectively, related to these reductions in force, which were primarily severance and separation costs.

During June 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the closure and eventual disposal of its manufacturing plant located in Humboldt, Tennessee. The Company expects to incur total pre-tax restructuring costs of $3.0 million to $5.0 million related to the closing of the plant, net of building proceeds. The restructuring costs consist of employee severance and separation costs of approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million, and charges for accelerated depreciation and relocation of property and equipment and inventory write-offs of approximately $2.5 million to $4.0 million. The Company expects to recognize substantially all of these costs during fiscal 2021. Operations ceased at the Humboldt plant in July 2020. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company sold the Humboldt plant and recognized a gain of $2.3 million on the sale. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized pre-tax restructuring charges, net of $0.0 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.3 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the closure of the plant. Included in the $4.7 million of restructuring charges for the first half of fiscal 2021 were $0.8 million of severance and separation costs and $3.9 million for equipment, inventory and facilities-related expenses.

Note S--Other Information

Note R--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,”"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 October 31, 2020.2021.

The Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2021 results were negatively impacted by an accrual of $1.5 million related to a proposed legal settlement of a putative class action brought on behalf of certain hourly-paid current and former employees of our subsidiaries, RSI Home Products, Inc. and RSI Professional Cabinet Solutions, asserting several claims including violations of California wage and hour laws.

COVID-19

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has since spread throughout the world. 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 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, some of which have been recently reinstated.

All of our U.S. 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 2020 and continuescontinued to impact us throughout fiscal 2021 and now in fiscal 2021. Although2022. All of our manufacturing facilities qualified as essential operations (or the financial impact onequivalent) under applicable federal and state orders and were able to continue operating. We were initially negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as demand for our overallproducts significantly decreased during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 results was limited due to the timing of the outbreak, we saw more material impacts on our results for theand first quarter of fiscal 2021. We continue2021, as "stay at home" orders and other work disruptions created disruptions to face numerous uncertainties in estimatingour business operations. Our supply chain has been negatively impacted throughout the directpandemic. COVID-19 continues to impact our overall business, including hiring and indirect effects of COVID-19 on our presentretaining employees and future business operations, financial condition, results of operations,through challenges caused by material availability and liquidity. Due to several rapidly changing variablestransportation delays, as well as increased pricing related to the COVID-19 pandemic including recent rises in case counts, we cannot reasonably estimate future economic trends and the timing of when stability will return. aforementioned items. Refer to Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 20202021 for a disclosure of risk factors related to COVID-19.

Consumer sentiment as tracked by Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan decreased from 95.5 in October 2019 to 81.8 in October 2020.2020 to 71.7 in October 2021.

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”("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 in the low to mid-single digits during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. 2022.

The Company believes we are seeingcontinuing to see a temporary shift to extend the upper side of the sixtylag from 90 days to ninety day lag and that we are tracking to market demand on a unit basis within made-to-order framed builder direct, which was offset by price, mix and declines in our frameless business.

The Company’s total net sales increased 4.8% during the second quarter and decreased 2.0% during the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to the same prior-year period, which was driven primarily by growth in the home center channel offset by declines in our new construction channel, primarily within our frameless business.

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’speriod's results against the corresponding prior period’speriod's results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’sCompany'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) 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 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.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

We use EBITDA, 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, and identify strategies to improve operating performance.

24


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 percentage of net sales.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as projected for fiscal 20212022 is not provided because we do not forecast net income as we cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of net income.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 20212022 was $65.0$30.8 million or 14.5%6.8% of net sales compared to $62.9$66.1 million or 14.7% of net sales for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Outlook.  The impact on our fiscal 2021 financial results as a result offrom the COVID-19 pandemic areas well as material and logistical constraints in addition to the availability, retention, and cost of labor continue to be uncertain.The Company’sCompany's net sales were up 4.8%6.8% during the first half of fiscal 2022 and we expect full year fiscal 2022 sales to be high single digit growth over the prior year. Margins will continue to be below historical norms for the next two quarters due to continued inflationary, logistic and labor challenges; however, our expectation is that margins will improve sequentially throughout the remainder of the year as pricing actions are fully realized. The inflationary costs incurred through the first quarter of fiscal 2022 will be mostly offset with our second round of price increases across all of our sales channels which were completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.2022. Given the lag on pricing realization, it takes, on average, three to six months to realize price increases to fully offset the cost impact of the inflationary pressures. The negative trend on margins could continue as we still do not know the full impact of the pandemic and are partially dependent on macro-economic factors to stabilize. The Company currently expects that sales will reflect mid to upper single digit growth in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 versus the same period of the prior year.This growth rate is very dependent upon overall industry and economic growth, both of which are subject to the ever-changing COVID-19 environment. Margins will be challenged with increases in labor costs and product launch costs.The Company expects adjusted EBITDA margins for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 to increase compared to the same period of the prior year.The Company has taken actions to improve its cash position and as of October 31, 2020 had $112.6$8.0 million of cash on hand as of October 31, 2021 and access to $93.0$233.0 million of additional availability under itsour revolver.We will continue In the remainder of fiscal 2022, the Company plans to monitor the situation closely and may implement further measures to provide additional financial flexibility as we work to protectmaintain our cash position near historical norms and liquidity.may consider additional debt repayments and share repurchases. We plan to continue our investment back into the business by maintaining our prior outlook on our capital investment rate of approximately 3.5% of net sales for the full fiscal year.

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 overall demand for kitchen and bath cabinetry. The Company believes that housing starts will continue to show positive growth, driven by low mortgage rates, and growth in new household formation and expansion into rural areas,formations, although the current high unemployment ratesunknown long-term impacts from COVID-19, regulatory changes, and the unknown impacts for COVID-19a decrease in consumer sentiment are cause for concern.

The Company’sCompany's main source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents on hand and generally cash generated from its operating activities. The Company can also borrow up to $100$500 million under the Revolving Facility. Approximately $93.0$233.0 million was available under this facility as of October 31, 2020.2021.

On April 22, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Prior Credit Agreement.The amended and restated credit agreement (the "A&R Credit Agreement") provides for a $500 million revolving loan facility with a $50 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the "Revolving Facility") and a $250 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility").Also on April 22, 2021, the Company borrowed the entire $250 million under the Term Loan Facility and approximately $264 million under the Revolving Facility to fund, in part, the repayment in full of the amounts then outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement and the redemption of the Senior Notes.The Company is required to repay the Term Loan Facility in specified quarterly installments.The Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility mature on April 22, 2026.

The A&R Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain (i) a "Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio" of no less than 2.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a "Total Net Leverage Ratio" of no greater than 4.00 to 1.00, subject, in each case, to certain limited exceptions.

The A&R 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, make certain investments, dispose of its assets or engage in a merger or other similar transaction or engage in transactions with affiliates, subject, in each case, to the various exceptions and conditions described in the A&R Credit Agreement. The negative covenants further restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to make certain restricted payments, including, in the case of the Company, the payment of dividends and the repurchase of common stock, in certain limited circumstances. We were in compliance with all the covenants under the A&R Credit Agreement as of October 31, 2021.

As of October 31, 2020, $102.02021, $237.5 million was outstanding on each of the Initial Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan for a total of $204.0 million. Amounts$258 million was 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.”Facility. As of October 31, 2020,2021, 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%0.15%.

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.

As of October 31, 2020, the Company’s previously issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes remained outstanding. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at an annual rate of 4.875% and is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The Senior Notes mature on 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.

Cash providedused by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 20212022 was $76.6$10.2 million, compared with $86.2cash provided by activities of $76.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2020.2021. The decrease in the Company’sCompany's cash from operating activities was driven primarily by a decrease in net income and cash outflows from inventories, customer receivables, accounts payable, accrued compensation and inventories, offset by cash inflows from accounts payable.related expenses, and other accrued expenses.
 
The Company’sCompany's investing activities primarily consist of investment in property, plant and equipment and promotional displays.  Net cash used for investing activities was $18.9$27.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2021,2022, compared with $18.3$18.9 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2020. The increase in cash used was due to a decrease in cash received from maturities of certificates of deposit.2021.

During the first six months of fiscal 2021,2022, net cash used by financing activities was $42.1$45.8 million, compared with $74.2$42.1 million in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The decreaseincrease in cash used during the first six months of fiscal 2022 was primarily driven by the Company’s$25.0 million of share repurchases, as well as net payments of long-term debt of $41.3$19.7 million in the first halfsix months of fiscal 20212022 compared with $73.2$41.2 million in the prior year.

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 A&R 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. Management generally expects to fund any share repurchases using available cash and cash generated from operations. Repurchased shares will become authorized but unissued common shares. The Company did not repurchase anyrepurchased a total of its299,781 common shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million, during the first half of fiscal quarter ended2022.

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’sCompany's products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations.  The
27


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’sCompany's critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’sCompany's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020.2021.

The Revolving Facility, Initial Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loan includeA&R Credit Agreement includes 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 October 31, 20202021 would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.0$3.0 million. See Note L — Loans Payable and Long-Term Debtfor further discussion.

In May 2021, we entered into interest rate swaps to hedge approximately $200 million of our variable interest rate debt. See Note M — Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussion.

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.
