1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION – The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Flexsteel”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished in the consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Except to the extent updated or described below, the significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019, appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of accounting policies and are incorporated by reference.

Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year. Additionally, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic. The broader implication of COVID-19 on our results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain. We have experienced constrained supply and reduced customer demand that has materially adversely impacted our business, financial condition, results of operations and overall financial performance.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”)was incorporated in 1929 celebrated its 125th anniversary of the Company’s founding in 1893 last year. Flexsteel Industries, Inc.and is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers, importers and marketers of residential and contract upholstered and wooden furniture products in the United States. Over the generations the Company has built a committed retail and consumer following based on its patented, guaranteed-for-life Blue Steel SpringTM – the all-riveted, high-carbon, steel-banded seating platform that gives upholstered and leather furniture the strength and comfort to last a lifetime. With offerings for use in home, hotel, healthcare, and recreational vehicle, marine and office,seating, the Company distributes its furniture throughout the United States and Canada through the Company’s sales force and various independent representatives.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In May 2014,– On July 1, 2019, the FinancialCompany adopted Accounting Standards BoardUpdate (“FASB”ASU”) issued Accounting Standards CodificationNo. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC”ASC 842”) 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which providesand the related amendments. ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a framework for the recognitionright of revenue, with the objectiveuse asset and a lease liability that recognized revenues properly reflect amounts an entity is entitled to receive in exchange for goods and services. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, the Company’s fiscal year 2019. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognizedmeasured at the datepresent value of initial application (modified retrospective method). the remaining lease payments, on the consolidated balance sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease related cash payments within operating and financing activities.

The Company adopted ASC 842 utilizing the modified retrospectiveoptional transition method, on July 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as revenue is recognized when product ownership and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, collectability is probable and the Company has no remaining performance obligations. Thus, the timing of revenue recognition is not impacted by the new standard.

The Company’s revenues result from the sale of goods and reflect the consideration to which the Company expectsallows guidance to be entitled. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606). For its customer contracts, typically purchase orders, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A good is transferred when the customer obtains control of that good and risk of loss transfers at a point in time.

Provisions for customer volume rebates, product returns, discounts and allowances are variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded. Such provisions are calculated based upon agreed percentages. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent there is a distinct good or service and evidence of the fair value of the advertising, in which case the expense is classified as selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A).

The Company has a limited lifetime warranty on all products. The Company does not offer the option to purchase warranties. The Company accounts for warranties under ASC 460,Guarantees, and not as variable consideration related to revenue.


Occasionally the Company receives deposits from customers before it has transferred control of the product to customers, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are reported within “Accounts payable - trade” in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $2.2 million of customer deposits. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $1.9 million of customer deposits.

Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company elected the following practical expedients and policy elections:

Costs for shipping and handling activities that occur before the customer obtains control of the product are accounted for as fulfillment activities. Accordingly, these expenses are recorded at the same time the Company recognizes revenue.

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, specifically commissions, are recorded as an SG&A expense when incurred.

All taxes imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing transactions and collected by the Company from a customer, including sales, use, excise, and franchise taxes are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price.

These accounting treatments are consistent with the Company’s policies prior to adoption of ASC 606. Therefore, there will be no impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or have a material impact on financial position, results from operations and cash flows or related disclosures. As such, prior period financial statements were not adjusted.

The following table disaggregates the Company’s net sales by product category for the quarter ended March 31, (in millions):

   2019  2018 
  Residential  $93.8  $105.3

  Contract   54.1   58.2 
  Total  $343.4  $376.1 

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases, which will require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases and will expand disclosure requirements. The new guidance was issued to increase transparency and comparability among companies. In July 2018, the FASB approved an amendment to the new guidance that allows companies the option of using the effective date of the new standard as the initial application (at the beginning of the period in which it is adopted, rather thaninitially applied at the beginning of the earliest comparative period) and to recognize the effects of applying the new ASU asadoption date with a cumulative effectcumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet orof retained earnings. Based onThe Company elected the effective dates,package of practical expedients, which allows the Company expects to adoptforgo reassessing prior conclusions on lease definition, classification and initial direct costs related to existing leases as of the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 using the new transitionadoption date. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not restate comparative periods. Therecognize short-term leases on the consolidated balance sheets and all non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, were excluded.

2.  LEASES

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, which resulted in a recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities reflect the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. At any given time during the lease term, the lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments and the ROU asset is still evaluatingmeasured as the impactamount of the lease liability, adjusted for pre-paid rent, unamortized initial direct costs and the remaining balance of lease incentives received. Both the lease ROU asset and liability are reduced to its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. The Company expects to complete its analysis byzero at the end of the fourth quarterlease term.

The Company leases distribution centers and warehouses, manufacturing facilities, showrooms and office space. At the lease inception date, the Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains a lease. Some of fiscal 2019.our leases include options to renew at similar terms. The Company assesses these options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising these options based on relevant economic and financial factors. Options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at the lease commencement date. The Company does not record leases with a term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

For purposes of measuring the Company’s ROU asset and lease liability, the discount rate utilized by the Company was based on the average interest rates effective for the Company’s 2 $10.0 million lines of credit. Some of the Company’s leases contain variable rent

9.LITIGATION

9.  LITIGATION

Environmental Matters – In March 2016, the Company received a General Notice Letter for the Lane Street Groundwater Superfund Site (the “Lane Street Site”) located in Elkhart, Indiana from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In April 2016, the EPA issued their proposed clean-up plan for groundwater pollution and request for public comment. The Company responded to the request for public comment in May 2016. The EPA issued a Record of Decision selecting a remedy in August 2016 and estimated total costs to remediate of $3.6 million. In July 2017, the EPA issued a Special Notice Letter to the Company demanding that the Company perform the remedy selected and pay for the remediation cost and past response costs of $5.5 million. On October 12, 2017, the Company, after consultation with its insurance carriers, offered an amount, fully reimbursable by insurance coverage, to the EPA to resolve this matter. On November 6, 2017, the settlement offer extended on October 12, 2017 was rejected.

In April 2018, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order for Remedial Design and Remedial Action (the “Order”) against the Company.  The Order was issued under Section 106(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. §9606(a).  The Order directs the Company to perform remedial design and remedial action for the Lane Street Site.  The Order was to be effective May 29, 2018.  To ensure completion of the remediation work, the EPA required the Company to secure financial assurance in the initial amount ofa $3.6 million, which as noted above, is the estimated cost of remedial work.  The Company believes that financial assurance is not required because it meets the relevant financial test criteria as provided in the Order. In May 2018, the EPA agreed to suspend enforcement of the Order so that the Company could conduct environmental testing upgradient to its former manufacturing location pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC). On July 5, 2018, the EPA proposed a draft AOC, to which the Company provided revisions. During the latter part of 2018, Flexsteel submitted to the EPA its proposed work plan for the upgradient testing to be conducted pursuant to the draft AOC. The EPA provided comments on that documentation on December 4, 2018. On January 23, 2019, Flexsteel submitted responses to the EPA’s comments and revised work plan documents. On April 24, 2019, the Company signed the finalizedan AOC with the EPA to conduct the upgradient investigation.  The Company negotiated site access to the upgradient property over a period of months in 2019, followed by completion of sampling activities on that property on September 28-29, 2019.  On November 22, 2019, the Company submitted a Data Summary Report with the data from those activities to the EPA.  The EPA provided comments on the Data Summary Report on January 14, 2020, the Company then submitted a draft Final Report on February 19, 2020, to which the EPA provided comments on April, 9, 2020. Meanwhile, on January 2, 2020, the Company entered into a First Amended Tolling Agreement with the EPA which extends the statute of limitations potential claims by EPA through August 24, 2020.  The Company reflected a $3.6 million liability in the consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. Despite the Company’s position that it did not cause nor contribute to the contamination, the Company continues to reflect this liability in the consolidated financials for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 20192020 in accordance with FASB issued Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations (ASC 410-30). The Company continues to evaluate the Order, its legal options and insurance coverages to assert its defense and recovery of current and future expenses related to this matter.

Employment MattersThe lawsuit entitled Juan Hernandez, et al. v. Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (“Hernandez I”), was filed on February 21, 2019 in the Superior Court for the County of Riverside by former employees Juan Hernandez and Richard Diaz (together, “Plaintiffs”). On April 29, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a second similarly titled lawsuit in the Superior Court for the County of Riverside (“Hernandez II”).  Hernandez II is brought by the same attorneys as Hernandez I and features a single cause of action for civil penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”). Flexsteel agreed to resolve both Hernandez I and Hernandez II in principle and on a class-wide basis for $0.5 million.  That settlement will serve to resolve the claims of the 2 Plaintiffs, as well as the approximately 270 remaining members of the class unless an individual class member asks to be excluded. At present, the material terms of the settlement are captured in a Memorandum of Agreement. Flexsteel anticipates that obtaining final approval of the parties’ settlement from the court will take at least six months and potentially longer, such that any settlement payments will not be made until the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The settlement amount of $0.5 million, has been accrued in other current liabilities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and continues to reflect this liability in the consolidated financials for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Other Proceedings– From time to time, the Company is subject to various other legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company does not consider any of such other proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to its business or likely to result in a material effect on its consolidated operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

Net sales were $111.5$98.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 20192020 compared to record net sales of $126.9$111.5 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 12.1%11.4%. Residential net sales declined 10.9%5.7% when compared to the prior year quarter. The decline in residential net sales was primarily due to volume decreases on furniture imported from China as a result of the 25% tariff and price increases taken to the market, and to a lesser extent supply chain disruption on products sourced from Asia due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This decline was partially offset by increased sales of our ready to assemble furniture sold primarily through e-commerce, which grew 37.1% during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by softer demand for home furnishings and ready-to-assemble ecommerce products.increased demand. Contract net sales were down 18.1%,$7.4 million, of which $5.5 million was primarily driven by our decision to exit the commercial office and custom-designed hospitality product lines, coupled with a decline in hospitality product sales partially offset by continued strength inour healthcare and vehicle seating product sales.products from lower demand.

Gross margin as a percent of net sales for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2020 was 19.1%14.0%, compared to 21.8%19.1% for the prior year quarter. Operationally,quarter, a decline of 510 basis points (“bps”). As part of our customer and product profitability initiative, we executed a SKU rationalization process on our residential products sold through the brick and mortar channel which resulted in an inventory valuation adjustment accounting for approximately 240 bps of margin contraction. The remaining margin compression was due to product mix of approximately 130 bps, increased costs aimed at improving lead times and customer experience of approximately 130 bps, foreign currency exchange impact of approximately 110 bps, offset by favorable labor and material costs worsened slightly relativeof approximately 120 bps.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $2.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year quarterquarter. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to one-time inefficiencies associated with the relocation of the facility in Dubuque. Other major network facilities sawdriven by a slight improvement in labor productivity versus the prior year quarter adding 30 basis points to the margin. Consistent with ASC 606, the classification of certain rebates as a reduction of sales adversely impacted the gross margin by approximately 80 basis points versus the prior year quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were 20.5% of net sales in the third quarter, compared to 15.5% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Theperiod one-time $2.5 million non-cash expense due to the termination and settlement of a defined benefit plan coupled with current year restructuring savings and decreased volume,

partially offset by an increase of $4.1 million in bad debts primarily due to a customer filing for bankruptcy and one-time expenses of $0.5 million associated with the prior wholly owned subsidiary, DMI Furniture, Inc., unfavorably impacted SG&A by 220 basis points versus the prior year quarter. The remaining increase in expenses compared to the third quarter of 2018 was predominantly related to on-going ERP support costs which we expect to continue until further direction on implementation is determined. Secondarily, costs increased to support several key marketing programs to enhance the customer experience, data analytics and content management. The increases in expenses were partially offset by reductions in incentive compensation. Consistent with ASC 606, the classification of certain rebates as a reduction in sales which were classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the prior year quarter resulted in a favorable comparison in the current quarter.


In its third quarter results, the Company reported an $18.7 million impairment charge for the ERP system work completed to date. Since the beginningtransition of the ERP system project in late calendar year 2016,CFO position.

During the Company had accumulated $27quarter ended March 31, 2020, we incurred $2.4 million of capitalized expense associated with the development, configurationrestructuring expenses primarily for facility closures, professional fees and preparation for implementationemployee termination costs as part of our previously announced comprehensive transformation program. See Note 4, Restructuring, of the ERP system across the entire Company network and subsequent planned retirement of two legacy business information systems. On April 1, 2018, the Company implemented the ERP systemNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on approximately 20% of its business by sales value. After significant disruption during this initial phase, analysis of root cause and corrective action activities, the Company stopped further implementation across the network and focused on stabilization of the new ERP system environment. Concurrently, the Company completed a thorough evaluation of the work completed to date, its usefulness in the context of future deployments and the potentialForm 10-Q for revised project scope. The analysis, which was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2019, resulted in management’s determination that there was an impairment of $18.7 million of the ERP system assets due to incomplete or abandoned software components and capitalized amounts which are not recoverable. After the impairment determination, there remains a capitalized asset related to the ERP system of $7.2 million in net book value. This amount includes capabilities designed and configured for the ERP system either currently in use or developed for future implementation. Should the Company determine it does not intend to proceed with further roll out of the ERP system beyond the current implementation, $6.1 million in net book value of the remaining capitalized asset would be subject to potential impairment.more information.

The Company reported aIncome tax benefit of $4.5was $3.0 million, or an effective rate of 22.6%35.9%, during the third quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to income tax expensebenefit of $1.4$4.5 million in the prior year quarter, or an effective tax rate of 31.7%22.6%. The difference between the 2019 and 2020 rates relate to recording the current year benefit at a 35% federal tax rate rather than the current statutory rate of 21% due to the carryback benefit discussed below.  In addition, we recorded a full valuation allowance against the federal and state deferred tax assets of $3.9 million.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Certain provisions of the CARES Act impacted the three and nine months ended March 2020 and will impact the current fiscal year 2020. The Company reportedCARES Act, permits net operating losses (“NOLs”) incurred in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the Company’s fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021 to offset 100% of taxable income and be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a netrefund of previously paid income taxes. We evaluated the impact of the CARES Act during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and recorded an income tax receivable of $8.2 million for the benefit of carrying back the fiscal year 2019 NOL and an income tax receivable of $0.8M for the benefit of carryback the fiscal year 2020 NOL. As we are carrying the losses back to years beginning before January 1, 2018, the receivables were recorded at the previous 35% federal tax rate rather than the current statutory rate of 21%.

We recognized deferred tax assets to the extent that they believe the assets are more likely than not to be realized.  In making such a determination, we considered all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations.  For the period ended March 31, 2020, it was determined that we have not reached a more likely than not position that we will realize the deferred tax assets.  Therefore, we have recorded a valuation allowance against the federal and state deferred tax assets of $3.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. 

Net loss of $15.6was $5.3 million, or ($1.97)$0.66 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2019,2020, compared to a net incomeloss of $3.1$15.6 million, or $0.39$1.97 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

Net sales were $343.4$302.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019,2020 compared to $376.1net sales of $343.4 million in the prior year nine- month period, a decrease of 12.0%. Residential net sales declined 6.3% when compared to the prior year nine-month period. The decline in residential net sales are primarily attributable to the same factors discussed above for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 versus March 31, 2019. Our ready-to-assemble furniture sold primarily through e-commerce, grew 19.1% during the nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by increased demand. Contract net sales were down $23.1 million, of which $17.1 million was primarily driven by our decision to exit the commercial office and custom-designed hospitality product lines, coupled with a decline in our healthcare and vehicle seating products due to demand.

Gross margin as a percent of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 was 15.6%, compared to 18.8% for the prior year nine-month period, a decline of 320 bps. The 320-bps decline was primarily driven by a decline of 170 bps due to lower volume and product mix. Aggressive product pricing across our e-commerce and brick and mortar channels during the holiday shopping season contracted margins approximately 30 bps in the current nine-month period. Additionally, as part of our customer and product profitability initiative, we executed a SKU rationalization process which resulted in an inventory valuation adjustment representing 120 bps of margin contraction in the nine-month period. Increased costs to serve customers to improve lead times and customer experience, favorable material and labor costs, and a benefit related to our success in collecting foreign VAT also contributed to margin performance in the nine-month period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $55.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $62.5 million to the prior year nine-month period. The decline of $6.8 million was primarily driven by current year restructuring savings and lower expenses on reduced volume of approximately $7.2 million coupled with one-time CEO transition expense of $2.1 million and defined benefit plan termination and settlement expenses of $2.5 million recorded in the prior year. Current year SG&A includes an increase of $4.3 million in bad debts primarily due to a customer filing for bankruptcy and one-time pre-tax net expenses of $0.5 million associated with the transition of the CFO position.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred $13.4 million of restructuring expenses primarily for facility closures, professional fees and employee termination costs as part of our previously announced comprehensive transformation program. See Note 4 Restructuring of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we completed the sale of our Riverside, California property for a sale price of $20.5 million generating net proceeds of $19.6 million after customary closing costs, prorations and commissions. This resulted in a recognized, pre-tax gain on sale of asset in the amount of $18.9 million.

Income tax benefit was $1.3 million, or an effective rate of 54.5%, during the nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to income tax benefit of $3.5 million in the prior year nine-month period, a decreaseor an effective tax rate of 8.7% from21.5%. The change in rate was due to the prior year period. Lower residential net salessame factors discussed above for the current nine-month period were driven by softer demand for home furnishings products in addition to share loss in ready-to-assemble furniture sold primarily through the ecommerce channel. Lower contract net sales include stronger demand for vehicle seating products eclipsed by lower hospitality product sales against strong comparatives. Commercial Office products declined due to an intentional reduction of unprofitable customers and products.

For the ninethree months ended March 31, 2019, gross margin as a percent2020.

Net loss of net sales was 18.8% compared to 21.6% for the prior year period. The current nine-month period decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by increased labor costs including lower productivity levels, higher raw material costs, one-time manufacturing plant relocation expenses partially offset by sell price increases and tariff mitigation activities. Consistent with ASC 606, the classification of certain rebates as a reduction of sales adversely impacted the gross margin by approximately 80 basis points versus the prior nine-month period.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were 18.2% of net sales in the current fiscal year, compared to 15.3% of net sales in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily driven by increases in on-going ERP maintenance and support costs and increases in marketing associated with Flexsteel’s digital marketing strategy. Additionally, one-time costs included a $2.5 million pre-tax pension termination cost and a $2.0 million pre-tax cost associated with the transition of the CEO position in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2019. Offsetting these higher costs were reduced incentive compensation, the favorable comparative driven by the classification of certain rebates as a reduction in sales as previously discussed and reductions in variable costs associated with lower sales volume.


During the prior fiscal year nine-month period, the Company completed a $6.5 million sale of a facility and recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.8 million. On an after-tax basis, the gain represents $1.3$1.1 million, or $0.16$0.14 per share.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was 21.5% compared to 30.5% in the prior year period.

The above factors resulted in a net loss of $12.7 million or $(1.61) perdiluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2019,2020, compared to net incomeloss of $15.5$12.7 million, or $1.95$1.61 per diluted share forin the prior year nine-month period.

All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Due to uncertainties as a result of COVID-19, we have implemented measures to enhance our liquidity position and improve working capital. We drew down a total of $15.0 million on our credit facilities during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The proceeds will be available to be used for working capital, general corporate or other purposes. We have delayed non-essential capital spend and expenses. For a majority of our suppliers, we have negotiated extending payment terms.

Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) at March 31, 2019 was $142.1$122.6 million compared to $148.7$118.2 million at June 30, 2018. Primary changes2019. The $4.0 million increase in working capital included increaseswas due to an increase in cash of $6.8$25.3 million primarily due to proceeds from the sale of the Riverside, California facility of $20.5 million, and a decrease in restructuring liability of $5.2 million, partially offset by $18.6 million in inventory reduction as a result of inventory management and SKU rationalization activities, a $3.9 million decline in trade receivables and an increase in accounts payable of $4.6 million. Capital expenditures are estimated be in the range of $3.6 million to $4.1 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $12.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 versus $14.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The lower operating cash generation in the current year was primarily driven by lower profitability.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $14.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Capital expenditures were $20.6 million and $20.1 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net proceeds from sales of investments were $15.9 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

Net cash used in financing activities was $7.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to dividends paid of $6.9 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $5.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to dividends paid of $5.0 million. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, dividend payments increased to $6.9 million from $5.0 million during the prior year period due to timing of dividend payment dates with two falling within the third quarter of 2019. This is expected to normalize on a year to date basis in the fourth quarter.

Capital expenditures are estimated to be $0.4 million for the remainder of fiscal 2019. Management believes that the Company has adequate cash and cash equivalents, investments, cash flows from operations and credit arrangements to meet its operating and capital requirements for fiscal year 2019. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity and credit resources provide it with the ability to react to opportunities as they arise, to pay quarterly dividends to its shareholders, and to purchase productive capital assets that enhance safety and improve operations.

Contractual Obligations

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General– Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. As discussed below, management of the Company does not believe that changes in these factors could cause material fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The ability to import furniture products can be adversely affected by political issues in the countries where suppliers are located, disruptions associated with shipping distances and negotiations with port employees. Other risks related to furniture product importation include government imposition of regulations and/or quotas; duties, tariffs and taxes on imports; and significant fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. Any of these factors could interrupt supply, decrease sales, increase costs and decrease earnings.

Foreign Currency Risk – During the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have sales, but has purchases and other expenses denominated in foreign currencies. The market risk associated with currency exchange rates and prices is not considered significant.

Interest Rate RiskThe Company’s primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is changes in interest rates. At March 31, 2019,2020, the Company did not have any debthad $15.0 million outstanding other than the portionon its lines of the $10.0 millioncredit. See Note 5 “Credit Arrangements,” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosure on our interest rate related to borrowings under our credit facility associated with outstanding letters of credit.agreements.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Other than the item mentioned below, thereItem 1A.  Risk Factors

There has been no material change in the risk factors set forth under Part 1, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.2019, except as discussed below.

Effective September 24, 2018,The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption to our business and may have a continued material adverse impact on our financial conditions and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected and is expected to continue to adversely affect our operations, supply chains, manufacturing and distribution systems. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience unpredictable reductions in the current U.S. administration imposed a 10% tariff on goods imported into the United States from China, including all furniture and furniture components manufactureddemand for our products primarily due to our customers’ closing their stores. We have temporarily closed our manufacturing facilities in China, with the potential for the tariffs to increase to 25%. As trade negotiations between the United States and China continue, it is unclear asMexico and many of our Corporate employees are working remotely. We expect the COVID-19 pandemic to whetherhave a continuing adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, however, we are unable to predict the extent or not the U.S. administration will take further tariff action. In fiscal 2018, approximately 44%nature of the Company’s sales were imported from China. Inability to reduce acquisition costs or pass through price increases may have an adverse impact on sales volume, earnings and liquidity.these future impacts at this time.

The Company recognized an $18.7 million impairment charge for the net book value of the ERP system solution designed and partially implemented to date. This impairment leaves an asset of $7.2 million. Should the Company determine it does not want to proceed with further implementation of the ERP system across the remainder of the network, an additional $6.1 million would be subject to potential impairment.
