Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In May 2014,July 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued final rules that require new and enhanced disclosures on cybersecurity risk management, strategy, governance, and incident reporting. Under the final rules, companies must report material cybersecurity incidents within four business days of determining the incident is material on Form 8-K. As additional information about the material aspects of the previously reported incidents become available, a Form 8-K/A must be filed with the additional disclosures. These disclosure requirements on Form 8-K were effective beginning December 18, 2023. For fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2023, companies must disclose their cybersecurity processes, management's role in cybersecurity governance, and cybersecurity oversight by the Board of Directors on Form 10-K.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard for contracts with customersASU No. 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). In March, April, Mayare regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and December 2016 the FASB issued additional ASUs to provide supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU 2014-09. The core principleincluded within each reported measure of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goodssegment profit or services to customers inloss, an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchangeand description of its composition for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The new standard is effective for fiscal years,other segment items, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial results to determine the appropriate transition method for the Company. The Company has engaged a third-party consultant to assist with developing a multi-phase plan to assess the impact of adoption and is currently in the process of finalizing its conclusions on several aspects of the standard including principal versus agent considerations, identification of performance obligations, and the determination of when control of goods and services transfers to the Company’s customers. Additionally, the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the expanded disclosure requirements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) requiring lessees to reflect most leases on their balance sheets and recognize expenses on their income statements. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the usedisclosures of a specified asset for the lease term. The asset will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received,reportable segment’s profit or loss and the lessee's initial direct costs. For leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, as long as the lease does not include options to purchase the underlying assets, lessees can elect not to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged, and the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions is simplified. The standardassets.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.and disclosures.


In March 2016,December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock CompensationNo. 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 718)740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU updates income tax disclosure requirements primarily by requiring specific categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal yearsannual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance was adopted by the Company prospectively on July 1, 2017. The new standard simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures2024 and statutory withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. Under the new guidance, an entity will recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. This change eliminates the current practice of recognizing excess tax benefits in additional paid-in-capital ("APIC") and tax deficiencies in APIC to the extent that there is a sufficient APIC pool related to previously recognized excess tax benefits. In addition, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are considered discrete items in the reporting period they occur and are not included in the estimate of an entity’s annual effective tax rate. As for classification on the statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits will no longer represent a financing activity since they are recognized in the income statement and will appropriately be classified as an operating activity. See the Condensed Consolidated Statements of

Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 2017for the prospective presentation of classifying excess tax benefits as an operating activity, not a financing activity as in prior years. The ASU allows an entity to elect as an accounting policy either to continue to estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered (as currently required) or to account for forfeitures when they occur. The Company elected to maintain its accounting policy to estimate to the total number of forfeitures for stock awards granted. In regards to statutory withholding requirements, the new guidance stipulates that the net settlement of an award would not result, by itself, in liability classification of the award provided that the amount withheld for taxes does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate in the employees’ relevant tax jurisdictions.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) intended to reduce diversity in practice of how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues, with the treatment of contingent consideration payments made after a business combination being the most directly applicable to the Company. The update requires that cash payments made approximately three months or less after an acquisition's consummation date should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities. Payment made thereafter up to the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows from financing activities. Payments made in excess of the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows from operating activities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard will be applicable to the Company for theCompany’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, provided all eight amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires adoption using a retrospective transition method.2025, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the application of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.and disclosures.


The Company has reviewed other newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to its business or that no material effect is expected on its consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.


(2) Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated future expected credit losses resulting from customers’ failure to make payments on accounts receivable due to the Company. The Company has notes receivable with certain customers, which are included in “Accounts receivable, less allowance” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Management determines the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable by considering a number of factors, including: (i) historical experience, (ii) aging of the accounts receivable, (iii) specific information obtained by the Company on the financial condition and the current creditworthiness of its customers, (iv) the current economic and country-specific environment and (v) reasonable and supportable forecasts about collectability. Expected credit losses are estimated on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist using an age-based reserve model. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over the contractual life are recorded at inception and adjusted over the contractual life.

The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the six months ended December 31, 2023 are set forth in the table below.

(3) Revenue Recognition

The Company provides technology solutions and services from the world's leading suppliers of mobility, barcode, POS, payments, physical security, unified communications, collaboration, telecom and cloud services. This includes hardware, related accessories and device configuration as well as software licenses, professional services and hardware support programs.

In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize, the Company applies the following five-step model: (i) identify contracts with customers; (ii) identify performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue as control of products and services are transferred to customers, which is generally at the point of shipment. The Company delivers products to customers in several ways, including: (i) shipment from a Company warehouse, (ii) drop-shipment directly from the supplier, or (iii) electronic delivery for non-physical products.

Principal versus Agent Considerations

The Company is the principal for sales of all hardware and certain software and services. The Company considers itself the principal in those transactions where it has control of the product or service before it is transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes the principal-associated revenue and cost of goods sold on a gross basis.

The Company is the agent for third-party service contracts, including product warranties and supplier-hosted software. These service contracts are sold separately from the products, and the Company often serves as the agent for the contract on behalf of the original equipment manufacturer. The Company's responsibility is to arrange for the provision of the specified service by the original equipment manufacturer, and the Company does not control the specified service before it is transferred to the customer. Because the Company acts as an agent, revenue is recognized net of cost at the time of sale. The Intelisys business operates under an agency model.

Variable Considerations

For certain transactions, products are sold with a right of return and may also provide other rebates or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates a returns allowance based on historical experience and reduces revenue accordingly. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration for rebates and incentives by using the expected value to be given to the customer and reduces the revenue by those estimated amounts. These estimates are reviewed and updated as necessary at the end of each reporting period.

Contract Balances

The Company records contract assets and liabilities for payments received from customers in advance of services performed. These assets and liabilities are the result of the sales of the Company's self-branded warranty programs and other transactions where control has not yet passed to the customer. These amounts are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

(4) Acquisitions
POS Portal

On July 31, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of POS Portal, Inc. ("POS Portal") a leading provider of payment devices and services primarily to the small and midsized ("SMB") market segment in the United States. POS Portal joined the Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment.

Under the purchase agreement, the all-cash transaction included an initial purchase price of approximately $144.9 million paid in cash at closing. The Company paid an additional $3.4 million for customary closing adjustments during the six months ended December 31, 2017. The Company acquired $4.6 million in cash, net of debt payoff and other customary closing adjustments, resulting in $143.8 million net cash paid for POS Portal. The agreement also included a cash earn-out payment up to $13.2 million based on POS Portal's earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the trailing twelve months (TTM) ending September 30, 2017, which was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. A portion of the purchase price was placed into escrow to indemnify the Company for certain pre-acquisition damages. A portion of the escrow was released during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, the balance available in escrow was $13.1 million.

The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to expanding the Company's high-value capabilities and market reach across all payment channels. Goodwill, identifiable intangible assets and the related deferred tax liability are not deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented for the acquisition of POS Portal because such results are not material to our consolidated results.

Intelisys

On August 29, 2016, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Intelisys, a technology services company with voice, data, cable, wireless, and cloud services. Intelisys is part of the Company's Worldwide Communications and Services operating segment. With this acquisition, the Company broadens its capabilities in the telecom and cloud services market and generates the opportunity for high-growth recurring revenue.

Under the asset purchase agreement, the Company made an initial cash payment of approximately $84.6 million, which consisted of an initial purchase price of $83.6 million and $1.0 million for additional net assets acquired at closing, and agreed to make four additional annual cash installments based on a form of adjusted EBITDA for the periods ending June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2020. The Company acquired $0.8 million of cash as part of the acquisition, resulting in $83.8 million net cash paid for Intelisys initially. A portion of the purchase price was placed into escrow to indemnify the Company for certain pre-acquisition damages. As of December 31, 2017, the balance available in escrow was $8.5 million.

The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to entering the recurring revenue telecom and cloud services market and expanded market opportunities to grow recurring revenue streams. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes.

On August 8, 2017,September 28, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Amended Credit Agreement, to increase the committedwhich includes (i) a five-year, $350 million multicurrency senior secured revolving credit facility from $300and (ii) a five-year $150 million to $400 million.senior secured term loan facility. The Amended Credit Agreement allows forextended the issuance ofcredit facility maturity date to September 28, 2027. In addition, pursuant to an “accordion feature,” the Company may increase its borrowings up to $50an additional $250 million, for letters of credit and has a $200 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $600 million, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase. The Company incurred $0.3Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the August 8, 2017 amendment.

At the Company's option, loans denominated in U.S. dollarsfor letters of credit. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon the Company's ratio of total debt (excluding accounts payable and accrued liabilities), measured as of the end of the most recent quarter, to adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the most recently completed four quarters (the "Leverage Ratio"). This spread ranges from 1.00% to 2.125% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 1.125% for alternate base rate loans. Additionally, the Company is assessed commitment fees ranging from 0.175% to 0.35%, depending upon the Leverage Ratio, on non-utilized borrowing availability, excluding swingline loans. Borrowings are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, the payment of cash dividends is restricted. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1.4 million in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Amended Credit Agreement. These costs were capitalized to other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and added to the unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit facility.

Loans denominated in U.S. dollars, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a pledgerate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) the adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or adjusted daily simple SOFR plus an additional margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% depending upon the Company’s ratio of (A) total consolidated debt less up to 65%$30 million of capital stockunrestricted domestic cash to (B) trailing four-quarter consolidated EBITDA measured as of the end of the most recent year or quarter, as applicable, for which financial statements have been delivered to the Lenders (the “leverage ratio”); or (ii) the alternate base rate plus an additional margin ranging from 0% to 0.75%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, plus, if applicable, certain mandatory costs. All swingline loans denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest based upon the adjusted daily simple SOFR plus an additional margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% depending upon the Company's leverage ratio, or such other equityrate as the Company and the applicable swingline lender may agree. The adjusted term SOFR and adjusted daily simple SOFR include a fixed credit adjustment of 0.10% over the applicable SOFR reference rate. Loans denominated in foreign currencies bear interest in certain foreign subsidiaries determinedat a rate per annum equal to be either material or a subsidiary borrower as definedthe applicable benchmark rate set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement.Agreement plus an additional margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio plus, if applicable, certain mandatory costs.

(7)(8) Derivatives and Hedging Activities


The Company's results of operations could be materially impacted by significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In an effort to manage the exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates,these risks, the Company periodically enters into various derivative instruments. The Company’sCompany's accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are designated as hedge or non-hedge instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheetCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments andor the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense.


Foreign Currency Derivatives – The Company conducts a portion of its business internationally in a variety of foreign currencies. The exposurecurrencies and is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, and transactions arising from non-functional currency financing or trading activities. The Company’s objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows.rates. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and once these opportunities have been exhausted throughthe Company uses currency options and forward contracts or other hedging instruments with third parties. These contracts will periodically hedge the exchange of various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, Brazilian real, euro, British pound and Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Chilean peso, Colombian peso and Peruvian nuevo sol. While the Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure, the Company's foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.dollar.


The Company had contracts outstanding for purposes of managing cash flows with notional amounts of $100.6$27.3 million and $67.1$34.3 million for the exchange of foreign currencies as of at December 31, 20172023 and June 30, 2017,2023, respectively. To date, the Company has chosen not to designate these derivatives as hedging instruments, and accordingly, these instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense. Summarized financial information related to these derivative contracts and changes in the underlying value of the foreign currency exposures included in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Net foreign currency exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses and are included in other income and expense. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the British pound versus the euro, and other currenciesthe Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar.


Interest Rates - The Company'sCompany’s earnings are also affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on interest expense from floating rate debt instruments. To manageThe Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by using interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating rate debt.

On April 30, 2019, the exposure, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to lock into a fixed LIBOR interest rate, which was amended on September 28, 2022, to change the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $100.0 million, with a $50.0 million tranche scheduled to mature on April 30, 2024 and a $50.0 million tranche scheduled to mature April 30, 2026.

On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to lock into a fixed SOFR interest rate with a notional amount of $50.0$25 million scheduled to mature on April 3, 2022. This and a maturity date of March 31, 2028.

These interest rate swap agreement isagreements are designated as a cash flow hedgehedges to hedge the variable rate interest payments on the revolving credit facility. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreementagreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense. To the extent the swap isswaps are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the swapswaps are not included in current earnings but are reported as other comprehensive income (loss). There was no ineffective portion to be recorded as an adjustment to earnings for the quarterquarters and six months ended December 31, 2017.2023 and 2022.


The components of the cash flow hedge included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets,Statement of Comprehensive Income for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, are as follows:

(8)(9) Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under this guidance, the Company classifies certain assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy, which aggregates fair value measured assets and liabilities based upon the following levels of inputs:


Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).


The assets and liabilities maintained by the Company that are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company’s various debt instruments, deferred compensation plan investments, outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign currency hedge agreements and interest rate swap agreements and contingent consideration owed to the previous owners of Network1 and Intelisys.agreements. The carrying value of debt is considered to approximate fair value, as the Company’s debt instruments are indexed to a variable rate using the market approach (Level 2 criteria)2).

The investments in the deferred compensation plan are held in a rabbi trust"rabbi trust" and include mutual funds and cash equivalents for payment of non-qualified benefits for certain retired, terminated and active employees. These investments are recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets or other non-current assets depending on their corresponding, anticipated distribution dates to recipients, which are reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term non-current liabilities, respectively.


Derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, are measured using the market approach on a recurring basis considering foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers and interest rates quoted by banks (Level 2). See Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities. Fair values of interest rate swaps are measured using standard valuation models with inputs that can be derived from observable market transactions, including LIBORSOFR spot and forward rates (Level 2). Foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap agreements are classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as prepaid expenses and other currentnon-current assets or accrued expenses and other currentlong-term liabilities, depending on the respective instruments' favorable or unfavorable positions. See Note 8 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

The Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities at the acquisition date of Network1, Intelisys and POS Portal representing the amounts payable to former shareholders, as outlined under the terms of the purchase agreements, based upon the achievement of a projected earnings measure, net of specific pro forma adjustments. The contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of POS Portal was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The current and non-current portions of these obligations are reported separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the contingent considerations (Level 3) are determined using a form of a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are recorded to the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Fluctuations due to foreign currency translation are captured in other comprehensive income through the changes in foreign currency translation adjustments line item as seen in Note 3 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

POS Portal is part of the Company's Worldwide Barcode, Networking and Security Segment. Network1 and Intelisys are part of the Company's Worldwide Communications and Services segment.

The fair values of amounts owed are recorded in current portion of contingent consideration and long-term portion of contingent consideration in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The U.S. dollar amounts of actual disbursements made in connection with future earnout payments are subject to change as the liability is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and subject to foreign exchange fluctuation risk. The Company will revalue the contingent consideration liabilities at each reporting date through the last payment, with changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration reflected in the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Income Statements that is included in the calculation of operating income. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities associated with future earnout payments is based on several factors, including:

estimated future results, net of pro forma adjustments set forth in the purchase agreements;
the probability of achieving these results; and
a discount rate reflective of the Company’s creditworthiness and market risk premium associated with the United States and Brazilian markets.


A change in any of these unobservable inputs can significantly change the fair value of the contingent consideration. Valuation techniques and significant observable inputs used in recurring Level 3 fair value measurements for our contingent consideration liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 were as follows.

POS Portal

The contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of POS Portal was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. As such, no liability is recorded as of this reporting date and no change in fair value of the contingent consideration is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. For the six months ended December 31, 2017, the change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of less than $0.1 million.

Worldwide Communications & Services Segment

Intelisys

The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of Intelisys recognized at December 31, 2017 was $90.7 million, of which $32.3 million is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement contributed a loss of $5.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017. The change in fair value for the quarter and six month period is primarily driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and an adjustment to the probability weights in the discounted cash flow model. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range up to $115.2 million, based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of earnings, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Intelisys recognized at December 31, 2016 was $98.2 million, of which $25.5 million is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement contributed a loss of $2.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2016, primarily driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount, partially offset by an increase in the discount rate used.

Network I

The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of Network1 recognized at December 31, 2017 was $6.3 million, all of which is classified as current. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017, the change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of $1.8 million and $14.5 million, respectively. The change in fair value for the quarter is primarily due to improved actual results. The change in fair value for the six month period is primarily driven by a change in estimate of the current year payment to the former shareholders of Network1, additional agreed upon adjustments to the projected final settlement and improved actual results for the second quarter. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange between the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar has driven changes in the translation of this Brazilian real denominated liability. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range up to $7.1 million, based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of adjusted earnings, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus the effects of foreign exchange.


The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Network1 recognized at December 31, 2016 was $12.7 million, of which $7.3 million is classified as current. For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of $0.2 million, primarily driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount, partially offset by an increase in the discount rate used and less-than-expected results. For the six months ended December 31, 2016, the change in fair value of the contingent consideration contributed a gain of $0.1 million, primarily driven by less-than-expected actual results, partially offset by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange between the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar has driven changes in the translation of this Brazilian real denominated liability.

Imago

The contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of Imago was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements contributed a gain of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2016. The change in fair value is primarily driven by actual results that were less-than-expected, including special adjustments as determined by the stock purchase agreement. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar drove changes in the translation of this British pound-denominated liability.

(11) Leases

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, at contract inception the Company determines if a contract contains a lease by assessing whether the contract contains an identified asset and whether the Company has the ability to control the asset. The Company also determines if the lease meets the classification criteria for an operating lease versus a finance lease under ASC 842. Substantially all of the Company's leases are operating leases for real estate, warehouse and office equipment ranging in duration from 1 year to 10 years. The Company has elected not to record short-term operating

leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating leases are recorded as other non-current assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has finance leases for information technology equipment expiring through fiscal year 2028. Finance leases are recorded as property and equipment, net, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gross amount of the balances recorded related to finance leases is immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2023 and the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2023.



Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company generally is not able to determine the rate implicit in its leases and has elected to apply an incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the present value determination, which is based on the Company's cost of borrowings for the relevant terms of each lease and geographical economic factors. Certain operating lease agreements contain options to extend or terminate the lease. The lease term used is adjusted for these options when the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments not based on a rate or index, such as costs for common area maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Further, the Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize all lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, where applicable.

(11)(13) Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act reduces the corporate federal tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 and implements a territorial tax system. Since the Company has a June 30th fiscal year-end, the lower tax rate will result in a blended U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. As part of the Tax Act, U.S. companies are required to pay a one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and remeasure deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Income taxes for the quarterquarters and six months ended December 31, 20172023 and 2022 have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements using an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, the Company also includes certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax provision. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, a discrete net tax benefit of $3.8 million was recorded, which is primarily attributable to the sale of UK-based intY.

(1) The estimated effect of the rate change for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017 is a benefit of approximately $1.6 million.

The Company’s effective tax rate of 55.3% for the six months ended December 31, 20172023, differs from the current federal statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of items recorded discretely, income derived from tax jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, discrete items, nondeductible expenses and the application of a blended U.S. federal ratestate income taxes. The Company's effective tax rates were 28.9% and 27.3% for the current fiscal year as a result of tax reform legislation.
As part of transitioning to the territorial tax system the Tax Act includes a mandatory deemed repatriation of all undistributed foreign earnings that are subject to a U.S. income tax. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a provisional discrete income tax expense of $9.3 million for a one-time transition tax liability on total post-1986 foreign subsidiaries’ earnings and profits (“E&P”) that were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. The Company has not yet completed the calculation of total post-1986 foreign E&P for foreign subsidiaries and the tax expense currently recognized may change as the value of cash and other specified assets changes, which is part of the basis of the transition tax. No additional income tax expense has been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax and any additional outside basis difference inherent for these entities as such amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. Further, the amount of related unrecognized deferred tax liability is under review but not practicable to estimate at this time.2022.

As part of accounting for the Tax Act, the Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which such deferred taxes are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. For the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a provisional discrete income tax benefit of $3.5 million for the remeasurement of the Company’s net deferred tax liability balance. However,2023, the Company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax Act and refining calculations, which are dependent on final results for fiscal year 2018, which could potentially affect the measurement of these deferred taxes or give risenot permanently reinvested with respect to new deferred tax amounts.
At December 31, 2017, the Company has not completed accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Tax Act. The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued rules that would allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impact. The Company currently anticipates finalizing and recording any resulting adjustmentsall earnings generated by the end of the current fiscal year 2018. The Company made a reasonable estimate of the one-time transition tax and remeasurement of existing deferred tax balances. The transitional impacts resulted in a provisional income tax expense of $5.8 million as a discrete event for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The Company has not been able to make a reasonable estimate for any additional outside basis difference inherent for foreign subsidiaries as these amounts continue to be reinvested in foreign operations. The Company continueshas determined that there is no material deferred tax liability for federal, state and withholding tax related to account for those items based on existing accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company will continue to provide for U.S. income taxes forundistributed earnings. During the current earnings of its Canadian subsidiary. The provisional estimates provided may be impacted by a number of additional considerations, including, butsix months ended December 31, 2023, foreign subsidiaries did not limitedrepatriate cash to the issuanceUnited States.

The Company had approximately $2.1 million and $2.2$1.2 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as ofat December 31, 20172023 and June 30, 2017, respectively.2023. Of this total at December 31, 2017,2023, approximately $1.4$1.0 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that are permanent in nature and, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company does not believe that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date.


The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. At December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $1.2 million accrued for interest and penalties.

The Company conducts business globally and one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in countries and states in which it operates. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before June 30, 2012.2018.

In the judgment of management, the conditions that gave risethis sale was not material to the recent losses are temporary and that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. If Belgium business does not return to profitability as expected, this could affect the valuation of certain deferred tax assets. Belgium enacted a corporate tax reform law on December 25, 2017 which reduces the corporate tax rate from 33% to 25% over a three-year period. The Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which such deferred taxes are expected to reverse in the future. As a result, the Company recognized income tax expense of $0.9 million as a discrete event during the current quarter.consolidated financial statements.

Interest expense consists primarily of interest incurred on borrowings, non-utilization fees charged on the revolving credit facility and amortization of debt issuance costs. Interest expense decreased for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to the prior-year periods, primarily from lower average borrowings on our multi-currency revolving credit facility. Interest expense increased slightly for the six months ended December 31, 2023 as a result of higher interest rates for the six-month period compared to the prior-year.

Interest income for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017 principally due to additional borrowings on our multi-currency revolving credit facility.

Interest income consists primarily of interest income2023 was generated on longer-term interest bearinginterest-bearing investments in Brazil and customer receivables in both North America and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, principally in Brazil.

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contractforward contracts gains and losses. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated fromas the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the British pound versus the euro, the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar, the euro versus the U.S. dollar, versusand the Colombian peso and other currenciesBritish pound versus the U.S. dollar. While we utilize foreign exchange contracts and debt in non-functional currencies to hedgeWe partially offset foreign currency exposure our foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative transactions. The Company's net foreign exchange losses are driven by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset bywith the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against currencythese exposures. The costs associated with foreign exchange forward contracts are included in the net foreign exchange losses.


For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2023, we recognized a $14.5 million gain on the sale of our UK-based intY business.

Provision for Income Taxes


For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017,2023, income tax expense was $12.3$7.3 million and $15.0$11.0 million, respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 60.8%18.3% and 55.3%18.6%, respectively. The effective tax rateIn comparison, for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 20162022, income tax expense was 35.6%$10.5 million and 35.3%$18.7 million, respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 28.9% and 27.3%, respectively. The increasedecrease in the effective tax rate from the prior year quarter is primarily due to the recognition of a net discrete tax expense of $6.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively. There were no discrete items recognized in the prior year. Excluding the recognition of the discrete item, the effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017 would have been 28.0% and 29.8%, respectively.is due to a $3.8 million discrete tax benefit, which is primarily attributable to the sale of our UK-based intY business. We expect the effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, for fiscal year 20182024 to be approximately 30%, which reflects the application of the 21% U.S. statutory tax rate effective January 1, 2018.27.0% to 28.0%. See Note 1113 - Income Taxes to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.


Non-GAAP Financial Information


Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance


In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S,US GAAP" or "GAAP"), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include non-GAAP operating income,income; non-GAAP pre-tax income,income; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP EPS; adjusted earnings before interest expense, income non-GAAP EPS,taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"); adjusted return on invested capital ("adjusted ROIC"); and "constantconstant currency." Constant currency is a measure that excludes the translation exchange impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates

between reporting periods. We use non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period.


These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that we report may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S.US GAAP.


Adjusted Return on Invested Capital

Adjusted ROIC assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. We believe the calculation of adjusted ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance during the year.

Adjusted EBITDA starts with net income and adds back interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and other non-GAAP adjustments. Since adjusted EBITDA excludes some non-cash costs of investing in our business and people, we believe that adjusted EBITDA shows the profitability from our business operations more clearly.
We calculate adjusted ROIC as adjusted EBITDA, divided by invested capital. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. The following table summarizes annualized adjusted ROIC for the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Net Sales in Constant Currency Excluding Acquisitions and Divestitures

We make references to "constant currency," a non-GAAP performance measure that excludes the foreign exchange rate impact from fluctuations in the average foreign exchange rates between reporting periods. Constant currency is calculated by translating current period results from currencies other than the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars using the comparable average foreign exchange rates from the prior year period. We also exclude the impact of acquisitions or divestitures prior to the first full year of operations from the acquisition or divestiture date in order to show net sales results on an organic basis. This information is provided to analyze underlying trends without the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and the impact of acquisitions.acquisitions and divestitures. Below we provideshow organic growth by providing a non-GAAP reconciliation of net sales in constant currency excluding acquisition (organic growth):acquisitions and divestitures:

Return on Invested Capital

Management uses ROIC as a performance measurement to assess efficiency at allocating capital under our control to generate returns. Management believes this metric balances our operating results with asset and liability management, is not impacted by capitalization decisions and correlates with shareholder value creation. In addition, it is easily computed, communicated and understood. ROIC also provides management a measure of our profitability on a basis more comparable to historical or future periods.

ROIC assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. We believe the calculation of ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance during the year.

We calculate ROIC as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus change in fair value of contingent consideration and other non-GAAP adjustments ("adjusted EBITDA"), divided by invested capital. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. The following table summarizes annualized ROIC for the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our $400$350 million revolving credit facility. Our business requires significant investment in working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventory, partially financed through our accounts payable to vendors, cash generated from operations and revolving lines of credit. In general, as our sales volumes increase,volume increases, our net investment in working capital increases, which typically results in decreased cash flow from operating activities. Conversely, when sales volumes decrease,volume decreases, our net investment in working capital typically decreases, which typically results in increased cash flow from operating activities.


Our cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $35.4$45.0 million at December 31, 2017,2023, compared to $56.1$36.2 million at June 30, 2017,2023, including $26.8$38.3 million and $47.9$31.0 million held outside of the United States at December 31, 20172023 and June 30, 2017,2023, respectively.

The Amended Credit Agreement extended the credit facility maturity date to September 28, 2027. In addition, pursuant to an “accordion feature,” we may increase our borrowings up to an additional $250 million, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from $300 million to $400 million.the lenders participating in the increase. The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit and has a $200 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $600 million, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase.

At the Company's option, loans denominated in U.S. dollarscredit. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic assets and our domestic subsidiaries. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, the payment of cash dividends is restricted. We incurred debt issuance costs of $1.4 million in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Amended Credit Agreement. These costs were capitalized to other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and added to the unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit facility.

This; or (ii) the alternate base rate plus an additional margin ranging from 0% to 0.75%, depending upon our leverage ratio, plus, if applicable, certain mandatory costs. All swingline loans denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest based upon the adjusted daily simple SOFR plus an additional margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% depending upon our leverage ratio, or such other rate as agreed upon with the applicable swingline lender. The adjusted term SOFR and adjusted daily simple SOFR include a fixed credit adjustment of 0.10% over the applicable SOFR reference rate. Loans denominated in foreign currencies bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable benchmark rate set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement plus an additional margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%, depending upon our leverage ratio plus, if applicable, certain mandatory costs.

During the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2023, our borrowings under the credit facility were U.S. dollar loans. The spread ranges from 1.00% to 2.125%in effect as of December 31, 2023 was 1.25% for LIBOR-basedSOFR-based loans and 0.00% to 1.125%0.25% for alternate base rate loans.

Specifically, our Leverage Ratio must be less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 at all of the domestic assets of the Company as well as certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be material under the Amended Credit Agreement and a pledge of up to 65% of capital stock or other equity interest in each Guarantortimes. In addition, our Interest Coverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The Company was must be at least 3.00 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter. In the event of a default, customary remedies are available to the lenders, including acceleration and increased interest rates. We were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of at December 31, 2017.2023.

On a gross basis, we borrowed $1,279.22022 was $138.7 million and repaid $1,015.7 million on our revolving credit facility in the six months ended December 31, 2017. In the prior year period, on a gross basis, we borrowed $829.1 million and repaid $764.3 million. The average daily balance during the six month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $261.8 million and $129.7$219.5 million, respectively. There was $329.1 million and $171.0 million available for additional borrowings as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The effective interest rates for the revolving line of credit were 6.70% and 6.74% as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. There were no stand-by letters of credit issued under the multi-currency revolving credit facility at December 31, 2023 or June 30, 2023. Availability to use this borrowing capacity depends upon, among other things, the levels of our Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio, which, in turn, will depend upon (1) our Credit Facility Net Debt relative to our Credit Facility EBITDA and (2) Credit Facility EBITDA relative to total interest expense, respectively. As a result, our availability will increase if EBITDA increases (subject to the limit of the facility) and decrease if EBITDA decreases.

Summary

41

Table of December 31, 2017, the Company was obligated to pay certain earnout payments to the former shareholders of POS Portal, Intelisys and Network1 related to their acquisitions on July 31, 2017, August 29, 2016 and January 13, 2015, respectively. See Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for a discussion on the liabilities recorded. The earnout payment due to the former shareholders of POS Portal was paid in full during the December quarter of the current fiscal year and was funded by cash from operations and our existing revolving credit facility. Future earnout payments for Intelisys are expected to be funded by cash from operations and our existing revolving credit facility. Future earnout payments for Network1 are expected to be funded by existing cash balances in Brazil and cash from operations.Contents

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds under our credit agreements, will provide sufficient resources to meet theour present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We also believe that our longer-term working capital, planned expenditures and Contractual Obligations

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future affect or change on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results ofother general funding requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the company is a party, under which the company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets. 

As of December 31, 2017, we have made adjustments to our contingent consideration owedand, to the former shareholders Intelisys and Network 1.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Our principal exposure to changes in financial market conditions in the normal courseFor a description of our business is a result ofmarket risks, see Part II, Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our selective use of bank debt and transacting business in foreign currencies in connection with our foreign operations.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities, which include revolving credit facilities with a group of banks used to maintain liquidity and fund our business operations. The nature and amount of our debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest ratesAnnual Report on borrowings on our revolving credit facility and variable rate long-term debt, net of the impact of the interest rate swap, would have resulted in approximately $2.2 million and $1.4 million increase or decrease annually in pre-tax incomeForm 10-K for the periods ending December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We evaluate our interest rate risk and may use interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations associated with our current and long-term debt. At December 31, 2017 andfiscal year ended June 30, 2017 we had $360.9 million and $97.3 million, respectively, in variable rate long-term debt and borrowings under the revolving credit facility. In connection with the borrowings under the credit facility including potential future amendments or extensions of the facility, we entered into an interest rate swap maturing on April 3, 2022 with a notional amount of $50 million2023. No material changes have occurred to receive interest at a floating rate LIBOR and pay interest at a fixed rate. Our use of derivative instruments has the potential to expose us to certainour market risks including the possibility of (1) our hedging activities not being as effective as anticipated in reducing the volatility of our cash flows, (2) the counterparty not performing its obligations under the applicable hedging arrangement, (3) the hedging arrangement being imperfect or ineffective or (4) the terms of the swap or associated debt changing. We seek to lessen such risks by having established a policy to identify, control and manage market risks which may arise from changes in interest rates, as well as limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from our foreign operations in Canada, Latin America, Brazil and Europe. These risks include transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries. In the normal course of the business, foreign exchange risk is managed by the use of currency options and forward contracts to hedge these exposures as well as balance sheet netting of exposures. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations may cause our international results to fluctuate significantly when translated into U.S. dollars. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates would have resulted in approximately a $0.8 million increase or decrease in pre-tax income from translation for six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. These risks may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on our financial results in the future.

Our senior management has approved a foreign exchange hedging policy to reduce foreign currency exposure. Our policy is to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed and not to enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We monitor our risk associated with the volatility of certain foreign currencies against our functional currencies and enter into foreign exchange derivative contracts to minimize short-term currency risks on cash flows. These positions are based upon balance sheet exposures and, in certain foreign currencies, our forecasted purchases and sales. We continually evaluate foreign exchange risk and may enter into foreign exchange transactions in accordance with our policy. Actual variances from these forecasted transactions can adversely impact foreign exchange results. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense (income).

We have elected not to designate our foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments, and therefore, the instruments are marked-to-market with changes in their values recorded in the consolidated income statement each period. Our foreign currencies are primarily Brazilian reais, euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos, Colombian pesos, Chilean pesos and Peruvian nuevos soles. At December 31, 2017 andsince June 30, 2017, the fair value2023.
