2.Acquisition

On May 19, 2023 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Indoff, a business-to-business direct marketer of material handling products, commercial interiors and business products with operations in North America, for approximately $72.6 million in cash, $5.2 million of which was placed into an escrow account for two years to secure the sellers’ indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement. Under the terms of the escrow agreement the escrow amount will be reduced to $2.5 million on the one year anniversary of the closing date. This acquisition expands the Company's presence in the MRO market in North America. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value assigned to the identified intangible assets acquired were based on assumptions and estimates made by management. The total associated transaction costs of the acquisition were $0.7 million and were recorded in selling, distribution and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For book purposes, the Company will be amortizing the customer lists and trademark assets over a ten-year period which will result in approximately $3.0 million in annual amortization expense. The acquisition was an asset acquisition for tax purposes and as such, the customer lists, trademarks and goodwill resulting from this acquisition will be tax deductible over a fifteen-year period. The Indoff accounts are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The Company prepared a preliminary purchase price fair value allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. These fair value allocations have not yet been finalized, principally related to the measurement of the acquired net working capital and the valuation of the acquired intangible assets. Amounts below could change, potentially materially, as we finalize the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table details the preliminary fair values as of the acquisition date (in millions):


Purchase price:	$	72.6
Less:
Cash	0.3
Accounts receivable	16.8
Inventories	10.3
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	2.5
Property, plant and equipment	0.3
Operating lease right-of-use assets	0.8

Total identifiable assets acquired	$	61.4
Accounts payable	(12.9)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	(4.7)

Operating lease liabilities	(0.8)
Total identifiable liabilities acquired	$	(23.9)
Net identifiable assets acquired	37.5
Goodwill	$	35.1
Total net assets acquired	$	72.6

The amount allocated to goodwill reflects the benefits the Company expects to realize from the growth of the acquisition’s operations.

The Indoff accounts are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Indoff generated approximately $23.9 million in revenue and approximately $0.9 million of net income.

3.4.Credit Losses

The Company’s trade accounts receivable is one portfolio ~~comprising~~comprised of commercial businesses as well as public sector organizations operating in the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, Canada. The Company develops its allowances for credit losses, which represent an estimate of expected losses over the remaining contractual life of its receivables, considering customer financial condition, historical loss experience with its customers, current market economic conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions when appropriate. When the Company becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligation, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the receivable to the expected amount to be collected. For the balance of its trade receivables, the Company uses a loss rate method to estimate its credit loss reserve. Historical loss experience rates are calculated using receivable write-offs over a trailing twelve-month period and comparing that to the average receivable balances over the same period. That rate is applied to the current accounts receivable portfolio, excluding accounts that have been specifically reserved. Any write-offs incurred are recorded against the established reserves.

The Company grants credit to commercial business customers using an electronic application process that evaluates the customer's detailed credit report, reference responses, availability under credit facilities, existing liens, tenure of management and business history, among other factors. Credit terms are typically net 30 days payment required with larger businesses eligible for up to net 90 day terms, if qualified.

The following is a rollforward of the allowances for credit losses related to trade accounts receivable for June 30, ~~2022~~2023 (in millions):

6.Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share - basic was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods presented using the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The two-class method was used as the Company has outstanding restricted stock with rights to dividend participation for unvested shares. Undistributed net income is allocated between common shares outstanding and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Undistributed net losses are not allocated to our participating securities as these participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. Net income (loss) per common share - diluted was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and included the equivalent shares for dilutive options outstanding during the respective periods, including unvested options. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and restricted stock issued by the Company is reflected in net income per share - diluted using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, options will only have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share under the two-class method for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 (in millions, except for per share amounts):

7.Credit Facilities and Short-term Debt

The Company maintains a ~~$75.0~~$125.0 million secured revolving credit facility with 1one financial ~~institution, which~~institution. This facility has a ~~five- year~~five-year term, maturing on October 19, 2026 and provides for borrowings in the United States. The credit agreement contains certain operating, financial and other covenants, including limits on annual levels of capital expenditures, availability tests related to payments of dividends and stock repurchases and fixed charge coverage tests related to acquisitions. The revolving credit agreement requires that a minimum level of availability be maintained. If such availability is not maintained, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined). The borrowings under the agreement are subject to borrowing base limitations of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and the inventory advance rate computed as the lesser of ~~60%~~65% or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value (“NOLV”). Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Borrower’s assets, as defined, including all accounts, accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets, subject to limited exceptions, including the exclusion of certain foreign assets from the collateral. The interest rate under the amended and restated facility is computed at applicable market rates based on the ~~London interbank offered rate~~Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“~~LIBOR”~~SOFR”), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“NYFRB”) or the Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on borrowing base availability. As of June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, eligible collateral under the credit agreement was ~~$75.0~~$123.7 million, total availability was ~~$72.4~~$121.1 million, total outstanding letters of credit was ~~$1.1~~$1.4 million, ~~total outstanding borrowings was $30.0 million and~~ total excess availability was ~~$41.3~~$79.4 million and outstanding borrowings totaling $40.3 million. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit agreement as of June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

8.Fair Value Measurements

Fair value accounting standards define 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. The fair value standards establish the fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in valuation techniques. There are three levels to the fair value hierarchy (Level 1 is the highest priority and Level 3 is the lowest priority):


Level 1 -			Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 -			Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 -			Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

Financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash, trade accounts receivable, ~~outstanding~~ debt and accounts payable. The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments based on interest rates available to the Company. At June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable ~~outstanding debt~~ and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of outstanding debt is considered to be representative of its respective fair values due to its variable interest rate. Cash is classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value with respect to goodwill ~~definite~~ and indefinite-lived intangible assets are measured in connection with the Company’s annual impairment testing. The Company operates in 1one reporting unit and in the fourth quarter of each year performs a quantitative assessment of its goodwill by comparing the Company's fair market value, or market capitalization, to the carrying value of the Company, including goodwill, to determine if impairment exists. Any excess of the carrying amount over fair value would be charged to impairment expense.

Table of Contents

Long-lived assets ~~are~~and definite-lived intangible assets used in the Company’s operations and include leasehold improvements, warehouse and similar property used to generate sales and cash flows. If indicators of impairment are identified, long-lived assets are tested for impairment utilizing a recoverability test. The recoverability test compares the carrying value of an asset group to the undiscounted cash flows directly attributable to the asset group over the life of the primary asset. If the undiscounted cash flows of an asset group is less than the carrying value of the asset group, the fair value of the asset group is then measured. If the fair value is also determined to be less than the carrying value of the asset group, the asset group is impaired.

9.Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings which may include commercial, employment, tax, customs and trade, customer, vendor, personal injury, creditors rights and health and safety law matters, which are handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company is from time to time subjected to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for damages and/or indemnification concerning sales channel practices and intellectual property matters, including patent infringement suits involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of products the Company sells or that are incorporated in the Company’s e-commerce sales channels, as well as trademark/copyright infringement claims. The Company is also audited by (or has initiated voluntary disclosure agreements with) various U.S. federal and state authorities, as well as Canadian authorities, concerning potential income tax and/or sales tax. These matters are in various stages of investigation, negotiation and/or litigation.

Although the Company does not expect, based on currently available information, that the outcome in any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations, the ultimate outcome is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, judgments could be rendered or settlements entered, that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period. The Company regularly assesses all of its material litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable and estimable. In this regard, the Company establishes accrual estimates for its various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability incurred at the date of the financial statements and the loss can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, ~~2022~~2023 the Company has established accruals for certain of its various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings based upon estimates of the most likely outcome in a range of loss or the minimum amounts in a range of loss if no amount within a range is a more likely estimate. The Company does not believe that at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued would be material to the financial statements.

Overview

Global Industrial Company, through its subsidiaries, is a value-added industrial distributor of more than a million industrial and MRO products in North America going to market through a system of branded e-commerce websites and relationship marketers.

~~Table of Contents~~

Continuing Operations

The Company sells a wide array of industrial and ~~MRO~~maintenance, repair and operations (“MRO”) products, including its own Global Industrial Exclusive BrandsTM,which are marketed in North America. These industrial and MRO products are manufactured by other companies. Some products are manufactured for us and sold as a white label product, and some are manufactured to our own design and marketed as private brand products under the trademarks: GlobalTM, GlobalIndustrial.comTM, NexelTM, ParamountTM , InterionTM and ~~Interion~~AbsocoldTM

. Table of Contents

On May 19, 2023 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Indoff LLC ("Indoff"), a business-to-business direct marketer of material handling products, commercial interiors and business products with operations in North America, for approximately $72.6 million in cash, $5.2 million of which was placed into an escrow account for two years to secure the sellers’ indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement. Under the terms of the escrow agreement the escrow amount will be reduced to $2.5 million on the one year anniversary of the closing date. This acquisition expands the Company's presence in the MRO market in North America. The Indoff accounts are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional financial information regarding the acquisition.

See Note 23 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional financial information about our business' geographic operations.

~~Discontinued Operations~~

~~As disclosed above, the operating results of discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements are from the NATG business sold in 2015.~~

Operating Conditions

The North American industrial products market is highly fragmented and we compete against companies operating through multiple distribution channels. Industrial products distribution is working capital intensive, requiring us to incur significant costs associated with the warehousing of many products, including the costs of maintaining inventory, leasing warehouse space, inventory management systems and employing personnel to perform the associated tasks. We supplement our on-hand product availability by maintaining relationships with major distributors and manufacturers, utilizing a combination of stock and drop-shipment fulfillment.

The primary component of our operating expenses historically has been employee-related costs, which includes items such as wages, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits and equity-based compensation, as well as marketing expenses, primarily comprised of digital marketing spend, and occupancy related charges associated with our leased distribution and call center facilities. We continually assess our operations to ensure that they are efficient, aligned with market conditions and responsive to customer needs.

The discussion of our results of operations and financial condition that follows will provide information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the factors that we believe may affect our future results and financial condition as well as information about how certain accounting policies and estimates affect the consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein and in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and the other information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

Business Outlook

The Company's net sales ~~accelerated~~increased in the second quarter ~~with revenue increasing 16.8%~~by 2.3% to ~~over $318 million. Sales~~$325.8 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Indoff. Excluding sales contributed by Indoff, second quarter sales declined by 5.2%. Second quarter performance ~~included strong results led by sales in the United States,~~reflects price deflation and included growth across nearly all product categories in the quarter. Customer demand was strong across each month in the quarter, and performance was highlighted by leading growth in our managed sales channels. Results reflected a continuation of the recent trend of a cautious demand environment within our ~~strategy to realign our strategic account managers,~~core small and ~~ongoing efforts to drive new~~medium business customer base. Web sales growth expanded throughout the quarter, customer acquisition and retention trend was strong and we ended the quarter with modest volume trend improvement. Gross margin in ~~key end market verticals inclusive~~the second quarter of ~~commercial enterprise, public sector and healthcare. Gross~~2023 was 34.7%, an 80 basis point decline from the prior year quarter results, primarily due to the inclusion of Indoff sales which carry gross margins in the low 20% range. Excluding Indoff sales, second quarter ~~pulled back from record levels~~gross margin was 35.7%, a 20 basis point improvement over the prior year quarter. On a historic pro forma basis, the addition of Indoff would have resulted in ~~the first quarter as the company continued~~approximately 200 basis points of lower margin rates due to evaluate price positions in light of changing inventory availability, impacts of record fuel surcharges in domestic transportation, as well as the flow through of some higher cost inventory that had been acquired in early 2022 to assure product availability for our customers. These negativetheir lower gross margin ~~pressures were partially offset by a continued shift in product sales~~profile. Given this impact to our ~~private brands, which traditionally carry higher~~composite margin ~~profiles than competing national brands.~~profile, we expect to see lower consolidated gross margin rates in future periods. The Company may also experience margin variability in future periods due to the current economic environment, inflationary pressures and historical seasonality. Selling, distribution and administrative expenses ("SD&A") ~~management remained disciplined~~primarily reflects the fixed cost nature of the business, including variable compensation expense, planned marketing investment and ~~delivered operating leverage in key expense categories within~~the expansion of our distribution network. We continue to maintain strong cost controls, and ~~logistics costs, compensation costs, and marketing costs, resulting in operating income of $30.5 million and operating margin nearing 10%.~~will continue to evaluate additional steps to optimize our structure.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 15 of the Company’s ~~2021~~2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These judgments are based on historical experience, observation of trends in the industry, information provided by customers, forecasts of future economic conditions and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Management has identified revenue recognition, ~~allowances for credit losses,~~ inventory valuation and ~~income taxes~~valuation of intangible assets acquired through a business combination as policies that entail significant judgments or estimates. Management believes that full consideration has been given to all relevant circumstances that we may be subject to, and the consolidated financial statements of the Company accurately reflect management's best estimate of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the years presented.

There were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the second quarter ~~and six month period~~ ended June 30, ~~2022.~~

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin is dependent on variables such as product mix including sourcing and category, competition, pricing strategy, vendor volume rebates, freight pricing decisions including the use of free or other promotional freight plans, freight cost inflation including both domestic outbound freight as well as international inbound ocean freight, inventory valuation and obsolescence and other variables, any or all of which may result in fluctuations in gross margin. The Company expects to see continued margin variability due to the current economic environment, inflationary pressures ~~on both transportation~~ and ~~raw material costs, and pricing pressures caused by inflated inventory levels.~~historical seasonality.

~~DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS~~

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, the Company's discontinued operations recorded net income of approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, primarily related to the resolution of certain liabilities. The Company expects that total additional exit charges related to discontinued operations after this quarter may aggregate up to $0.5 million.

~~Table of Contents~~

In the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company's discontinued operations recorded a de minimis amount of special charges and recorded approximately $1.8 million in benefit related to the resolution of certain liabilities offset by operating expenses of approximately $0.4 million and approximately $0.5 million for provision for income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's discontinued operations received approximately $15.0 million in restitution receipts offset by approximately ~~$3.0~~$1.5 million of increased costs due to various severance arrangements and other salary and related professional fees, recorded approximately $0.1 million in vendor settlements and recorded approximately $2.3 million in benefit related to the resolution of certain liabilities.

INCOME TAXES

For the three ~~and six~~ month ~~periods~~period ended June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company reported income taxes in continuing operations of approximately ~~$7.6~~$7.3 million ~~and $14.9 million, respectively,~~ related to its U.S., Canada and India operations including tax expense for certain U.S. states.

In For the ~~three~~six month period ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2023 the Company reported income taxes in continuing operations of approximately $3.5 million. The second quarter 2021 tax rate was benefited by the reversal of valuation allowances against the Company's Canadian net operating losses and other deferred tax assets of approximately $3.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, as well as excess benefits from stock option exercises of approximately $0.1 million. The Company reversed these valuation allowances as it believed it was more likely than not that the net operating losses and deferred tax assets of its Canadian subsidiary would be realized. In the six month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported income taxes in continuing operations of approximately $4.5 million. The six month 2021 tax rate was benefited by the above mentioned reversal of valuation allowances of approximately $3.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, as well as excess benefits from stock option exercises of approximately $0.5$11.6 million.

Our primary liquidity needs are to support working capital requirements in our business, including inflationary cost pressure within inventory, funding recently declared and any future dividends, funding capital expenditures and inventory purchases related to aour new distribution center ~~lease~~ in Canada, ~~debt repayment,~~ continuing investment in upgrading and expanding our technological capabilities ~~and information technology infrastructure~~ specifically related to additional functionality and enhanced navigation of our ~~e-commerce shopping experience and sales force productivity and automation,~~new web platform, continuing investment in upgrading ~~and expanding~~ our distribution ~~footprint~~facilities and funding acquisitions. We rely ~~principally~~ upon operating cash flow and our credit facility to meet these needs. We currently believe that current cash on hand, cash flow from operations and our availability under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We believe our current capital structure and cash resources are adequate for our internal growth initiatives. To the extent our growth initiatives expand, including major acquisitions, we would seek to raise additional capital. We believe that, if needed, we can access public or private funding alternatives to raise additional capital.

We expect that future accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable balances will fluctuate with net sales and the product mix of our net sales.

Operating Activities

Net cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities from continuing operations was ~~$2.1~~$65.5 million compared to ~~$20.5~~$2.1 million ~~provided~~used in ~~2021,~~2022, attributable to changes in our working capital accounts which ~~used $51.4~~provided $25.4 million in cash compared to ~~$7.9~~$51.4 million used in ~~2021,~~2022, primarily the result of the changes in inventory, ~~accounts receivable,~~ accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and other liabilities, ~~balances.~~partially offset by accounts receivable changes.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled ~~$2.1~~$73.7 million, ~~and~~$72.6 million of which was used for the purchase of Indoff, offset by $0.3 million of cash acquired, with the balance of $1.4 million used for warehouse machinery and equipment ~~primarily related to~~for our U.S. warehouses and new Canadian distribution center, leasehold improvements, computer equipment upgrades and ~~software.~~molds. Net cash used in investing activities in ~~2021~~2022 totaled $2.1 million primarily for warehouse machinery and equipment related to our New Jersey distribution center.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled ~~$12.5~~$24.9 million in 2023 primarily related to proceeds from short-term borrowings of approximately $50.6 million, majority of which was utilized to fund the Indoff acquisition, offset by the regular quarterly dividends of $0.20 per common share which totaled approximately $15.3 million and repayments of short-term debt of approximately $10.9 million. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the employee stock purchase plan totaled $0.7 million and proceeds from stock option exercises totaled $0.3 million, offset by payments for payroll taxes through shares withheld, which totaled $0.5 million. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2022 totaled $12.5 million primarily related to the net proceeds from short-term borrowings of $25.5 million. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock from our employee stock purchase plan totaled $0.6 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from stock option exercises, net of payments for payroll taxes through shares withheld totaled $0.3 million. Dividends paid primarily related to the regular quarterly dividend of $0.18 per common share ~~declared in~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~February 2022 and May 2022~~ which totaled approximately $13.9 million. Net cash used in financing activities in 2021 totaled $11.5 million primarily related to the regular quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share, which totaled $12.5 million. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock from stock option exercises, net of payments for payroll taxes through shares withheld totaled $0.5 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from our employee stock purchase plan totaled $0.5 million.

The Company maintains a ~~$75.0~~$125.0 million secured revolving credit facility with one financial institution, which has a five year term, maturing on October 19, 2026 and provides for borrowings in the United States. The credit agreement contains certain operating, financial and other covenants, including limits on annual levels of capital expenditures, availability tests related to payments of dividends and stock repurchases and fixed charge coverage tests related to acquisitions. The revolving credit agreement requires that a minimum level of availability be maintained. If such availability is not maintained, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined). The borrowings under the agreement are subject to borrowing base limitations of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and the inventory advance rate computed as the lesser of ~~60%~~65% or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value (“NOLV”). Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Borrower’s assets, as defined, including all accounts, accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets, subject to limited exceptions, including the exclusion of certain foreign assets from the collateral. The interest rate under the amended and restated facility is computed at applicable market rates based on the ~~London interbank offered rate~~Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“~~LIBOR”~~SOFR”), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“NYFRB”) or the Prime Rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on borrowing base availability. As of June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, eligible collateral under the credit agreement was ~~$75.0~~$123.7 million, total availability was ~~$72.4~~$121.1 million, total outstanding letters of credit was ~~$1.1~~$1.4 million, ~~total outstanding borrowings was $30.0 million and~~ total excess availability was ~~$41.3~~$79.4 million and outstanding borrowings totaling $40.3 million. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit agreement as of June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

Levels of earnings and cash flows are dependent on factors such as consolidated gross margin and selling, distribution and administrative costs, product mix and relative levels of domestic and foreign sales. Unusual gains or expense items, such as special (gains) charges and settlements, may impact earnings and are separately disclosed. We expect that past performance may not be indicative of future performance due to the competitive nature of our business where the need to adjust prices to gain or hold market share is prevalent.

Macroeconomic conditions, such as business and consumer sentiment, may affect our revenues, cash flows or financial condition. However, we do not believe that there is a direct correlation between any specific macroeconomic indicator and our revenues, cash flows or financial condition.

Table of Contents

The expenses and capital expenditures described above will require significant levels of liquidity, which we believe can be adequately funded from our currently available cash resources, cash flow from operations and borrowing under our current credit facility. In ~~2022~~2023 we anticipate capital expenditures in the range of ~~$7.0~~$6.0 to ~~$9.0~~$8.0 million, though at this time we are not contractually committed to incur these expenditures.

In the past we have engaged in opportunistic acquisitions, choosing to pay the purchase price in cash, and may do so in the future as favorable situations arise. However, a deep and prolonged period of reduced business spending could adversely impact our cash resources and force us to either forego future acquisition opportunities or to pay the purchase price using stock, debt or a combination of consideration which could have an adverse effect on our earnings. We believe that our cash balances and future cash flows from operations and availability under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in money market funds or their equivalents that have maturities of less than three months and in non-interest bearing accounts that partially offset banking fees. As of June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we had no investments with maturities of greater than three months. Accordingly, we do not believe that our cash balances have significant exposure to interest rate risk. At June 30, ~~2022~~2023 cash balances held in foreign subsidiaries totaled approximately ~~$5.5~~$6.0 million. These balances are held in local country banks and are held primarily to support local working capital needs. The Company had ~~in excess of $59~~over $118 million of liquidity (cash and undrawn line of credit) in the U.S. as of June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

Material Cash Requirements

We are obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for the rental of our facilities and certain of our equipment which expires at various dates through 2032. As of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 we were obligated for approximately ~~$107.8~~$101.9 million under these non-cancelable leases. In ~~2022~~2023 we anticipate remaining cash expenditures of approximately ~~$7.8~~$9.5 million for these operating leases. We have sublease agreements for unused space, as well as excess space in facilities we ~~lease~~are currently occupying in the United ~~States.~~States and Canada. In the event the sub lessee is unable to fulfill its obligations, we would be responsible for remaining rents due under the leases.

~~Table of Contents~~

Our purchase and other obligations consist primarily of purchase commitments for certain employment, consulting and service

agreements. In addition to the previously mentioned commitments, at June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we had ~~$1.1~~$1.4 million of standby letters of credit outstanding.

We are party to certain litigation, the outcome of which we believe, based on discussions with legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, which include changes in U.S. and international interest rates as well as changes in currency exchange rates (principally Canadian dollars) as measured against the U.S. dollar and each other.

The translation of the financial statements of our operations outside of the United States is impacted by movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in currency exchange rates as measured against the U.S. dollar may positively or negatively affect income statement, balance sheet and cash flows as expressed in U.S. dollars. We have limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and do not use them for trading purposes. We may enter into foreign currency options or forward exchange contracts aimed at limiting in part the impact of certain currency fluctuations, but as of June 30, ~~2022~~2023 we had no outstanding option or forward exchange contracts.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our variable rate debt. Our variable rate debt consists of short-term borrowings under our credit facilities. As of June 30, ~~2022, $30.0~~2023, we had $40.3 million ~~was~~of outstanding debt under our variable rate credit facility. A hypothetical change in average interest rates of one percentage point is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, ~~2022.~~ 2023. Consistent with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission that an assessment of internal controls over financial reporting of a recently acquired business may be omitted from management's evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, management is excluding an assessment of such internal controls of Indoff LLC (Indoff) from its evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. The Company acquired all outstanding stock of Indoff on May 19, 2023. Indoff represented approximately 5% and 4% of the Company's consolidated total assets and net sales at June 30, 2023, respectively. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, ~~2022~~2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, except that, as reported above, on May 19, 2023, the ~~Company’s~~Company acquired all outstanding equity interests of Indoff LLC. As a result, the Company is currently integrating Indoff LLC’s operations into its overall system of internal control over financial ~~reporting.~~reporting and, if necessary, will make appropriate changes as it integrates Indoff LLC into the Company's overall internal control over financial reporting process.
