(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1. Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by RBC Bearings Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim financial statements included with this report have been prepared on a consistent basis with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended April 2, ~~2022.~~2022 (our “Annual Report”). We condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ~~(U.S. GAAP)~~(“GAAP”). As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “RBC” and the “Company” mean RBC Bearings Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.

These statements reflect all adjustments, accruals, and estimates, consisting only of items of a normal recurring nature, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in ~~the~~our Annual ~~Report on Form 10-K/A.~~Report.

The results of operations for the three- and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire fiscal year ending April 1, 2023. The three- and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~October~~December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 ~~and October 2, 2021~~ each included 13 weeks and 2639 weeks, respectively. The amounts shown are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual ~~Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended April 2, 2022.~~Report.

Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting new accounting standards are discussed below.

Recent Accounting Standards ~~Adopted~~

~~Not applicable.~~

~~Recent Accounting Standards Yet to Be~~ Adopted

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The objective of the standard is to address operational challenges likely to arise in accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting due to reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The standard update is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. This guidance is available immediately and may be implemented in any period prior to the guidance expiration on December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company ~~will adopt~~adopted this ASU during the third quarter of our fiscal ~~year.~~year and elected to apply the practical expedient which allows us to account for the modification of the New Credit Agreement discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements as if the modification was not substantial. The impact of the adoption of this standard update ~~is dependent on the Company's contracts modifications as a result of reference rate reform; however, the Company does~~did not ~~expect the adoption of the amendments associated with hedging relationships to~~ have a material impact on the ~~Company's~~Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832). ASU 2021-10 is intended to increase transparency of government assistance by requiring entities to disclose the types of government assistance, the entity’s accounting for government assistance, and the effect of the government assistance on an entity’s financial statements. This new guidance is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after April 1, 2023 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The following table illustrates the approximate percentage of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied over time versus the amount of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended						Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	October 1, 2022			October 2, 2021			October 1, 2022			October 2, 2021			December 31, 2022			January 1, 2022			December 31, 2022			January 1, 2022
Point-in-time		98	%		96	%		98	%		96	%		98	%		98	%		98	%		97	%
Over time		2	%		4	%		2	%		4	%		2	%		2	%		2	%		3	%
Total		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders meeting the definition of a contract for which work has not been performed or has been partially performed and excludes unexercised contract options. The duration of the majority of our contracts, as defined by ASC Topic 606, is less than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, which allows ~~companies~~the Company to exclude remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one year was approximately ~~$305,457~~$342,081 at ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately ~~63%~~62% and ~~91%~~86% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Contract Assets (Unbilled Receivables) - Pursuant to the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customer being invoiced. An unbilled receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when (1) the cost-to-cost method is applied and (2) such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer.

As of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 and April 2, 2022, current contract assets were ~~$4,707~~$5,011 and $3,882, respectively, and included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in contract assets was primarily due to the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations prior to billing, partially offset by amounts billed to customers during the period. As of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 and April 2, 2022, the Company did not have any contract assets classified as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheets.

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue) - The Company may receive a customer advance or deposit, or have an unconditional right to receive a customer advance, prior to revenue being recognized. Since the performance obligations related to such advances may not have been satisfied, a contract liability is established. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as the timing of the transfer of the related goods or services is at the discretion of the customer.

As of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 and April 2, 2022, current contract liabilities were ~~$22,414~~$17,474 and $19,556, respectively, and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The ~~increase~~decrease in current contract liabilities was primarily due to revenue recognized on customer contracts, partially offset by advance payments received and the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received from the noncurrent portion of contract ~~liabilities partially offset by revenue recognized on customer contracts.~~liabilities. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenues of ~~$3,606~~$2,589 and ~~$7,474,~~$10,063, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance as of April 2, 2022. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~October 2, 2021,~~January 1, 2022, the Company recognized revenues of ~~$2,129~~$3,783 and ~~$6,779,~~$10,562, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at April 3, 2021.

As of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 and April 2, 2022, noncurrent contract liabilities were ~~$9,295~~$17,819 and $10,401, respectively, and included within other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The ~~decrease~~increase in noncurrent contract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments received, partially offset by the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received to the current portion of contract liabilities.

Variable Consideration

The amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for ~~the~~ goods and services is not generally subject to significant variations. However, the Company does offer certain customers rebates, prompt payment discounts, end-user discounts, the right to return eligible products, and/or other forms of variable consideration. The Company estimates this variable consideration using the expected value amount, which is based on historical experience. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Accrued customer rebates were ~~$38,829~~$38,284 and $35,234 at ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively, and are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive ~~Income~~ Income/(Loss)

The components of comprehensive ~~income~~ income/(loss) that relate to the Company are net income/(loss), foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in fair value of derivatives, and pension plan and postretirement benefits.

The following summarizes the activity within each component of accumulated other comprehensive ~~income~~ income/(loss), net of taxes:

Currency
Translation Pension and
Postretirement
Liability Total
Balance at April 2, 2022 $ 860 $ (6,660 ) $ (5,800 )
Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications (15,478 ) — (15,478 )
Amounts recorded in/reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) — 1,070 1,070

Balance at December 31, 2022	$	(6,512	)	$	(1,116	)	$	(5,055	)	$	(12,683	)

5. Net Income/(Loss) Per Share ~~Available~~Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic net income/(loss) per share ~~available~~attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income/(loss) ~~available~~attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted net income/(loss) per share ~~available~~attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income/(loss) ~~available~~attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and the conversion of the outstanding 5.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) to common shares. ~~The MCPS was issued on September 24, 2021.~~

We exclude outstanding stock options, stock awards and the MCPS from the calculations if the effect would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the MCPS is calculated using the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes that these securities were converted to shares of common stock at the later of the September 24, 2021 issuance date or the beginning of the reporting period to the extent that the effect is dilutive. If the effect is anti-dilutive, we calculate net income/(loss) per share ~~available~~attributable to common stockholders by adjusting net income/(loss) in the numerator for the effect of the cumulative MCPS dividends for the respective period.

For the three- and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, the effect of assuming the conversion of the 4,600,000 shares of MCPS into shares of common stock was anti-dilutive, and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share ~~available~~attributable to common stockholders. Accordingly, net income/(loss) was reduced by cumulative MCPS dividends, as presented in our consolidated statement of operations, for purposes of calculating net income/(loss) ~~available~~attributable to common stockholders.

For the three months ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, ~~90,796~~91,816 employee stock options and ~~485~~1,085 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share ~~available~~attributable to common stockholders. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, ~~110,692~~111,446 employee stock options and ~~9,780~~1,085 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share ~~available~~attributable to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options and restricted shares would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended January 1, 2022, all employee stock options and restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders as the Company generated a loss for the period. For the nine months ended January 1, 2022, 164,265 employee stock options and 200 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options and restricted shares would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended October 2, 2021, no employee stock options or restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. For the six months ended October 2, 2021, 159,925 employee stock options and no restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

The table below reflects the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for each period presented as well as the computation of basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share ~~available~~attributable to common stockholders.

6. Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As a result of the occurrence of triggering events such as purchase accounting for acquisitions, the Company ~~does measure~~measures certain assets and liabilities based on Level 3 inputs.

~~Financial Instruments:~~Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and ~~long-term debt.~~a derivative in the form of an interest rate swap. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Long-term assets held on our balance ~~sheet~~sheets related to benefit plan obligations are measured at fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $436,175 and $463,750 at December 31, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $493,040 at December 31, 2022 and $492,396 at April 2, 2022. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate debt was measured using Level 1 inputs. Due to the nature of fair value calculations for variable-rate debt, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term variable-rate debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value. The fair value of the ~~Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices,~~interest rate swap was ~~$421,745 and $463,750~~$1,116 at ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, ~~and April 2, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $492,822 at October 1, 2022 and $492,396 at April 2, 2022. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate debt was~~ measured using Level 2 inputs. This amount is included in other noncurrent liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments.

10. Debt

Domestic Credit Facility

On November 1, 2021 RBC Bearings Incorporated, our top holding company, and our Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. subsidiary (“RBCA”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer and the other lenders party thereto, and terminated the Company’s prior ~~Credit Agreement,~~credit agreement, which was entered into with Wells Fargo in ~~2015 (the “2015 Credit Agreement”).~~2015. The New Credit Agreement provides the Company with (a) a $1,300,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), which was used to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of our Dodge business unit and to pay related fees and expenses, and (b) a $500,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Facilities”). Debt issuance costs associated with the New Credit Agreement totaled $14,947 and ~~will be~~are being amortized over the life of the New Credit Agreement.

~~Amounts~~Prior to December 2022, amounts outstanding under the Facilities generally ~~bear~~bore interest at either, at the Company’s option, (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime lending rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus ~~1/2 of 1.00%~~0.50% and (iii) the one-month ~~LIBOR~~London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) rate plus 1.00% or (b) the LIBOR rate plus a specified margin, depending on the type of borrowing being made. The applicable margin iswas based on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA from time to time. ~~Currently,~~In December 2022 the New Credit Agreement was amended to replace LIBOR with the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”) so that borrowings under the Facilities denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA. The Facilities are subject to a SOFR floor of 0.00%. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s margin iswas 0.50% for base rate loans and 1.50% for ~~LIBOR rate~~SOFR loans. The ~~Facilities are subject to a “LIBOR” floor of 0.00% and contain “hard-wired” LIBOR replacement provisions as set forth in the New Credit Agreement. As of October 1, 2022, the~~ Company’s commitment fee rate iswas 0.20% and the letter of credit fee rate was 1.50%.

The Term Loan Facility will mature on November 2, 2026 and amortizes in quarterly installments with the balance payable on the ~~Maturity Date.~~maturity date. The Company can elect to prepay some or all of the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty, which will offset future quarterly amortization installments. The required future principal payments on the Term Loan Facility are $0 for the remainder of fiscal 2023, $0 for fiscal 2024, and $0 for fiscal 2025, due to prepayments previously made, and approximately ~~$87,500~~$27,500 for fiscal 2026, and $942,500 for fiscal 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on November 2, 2026, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will be payable.

The New Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with various covenants, including the following financial covenants: (a) a maximum ~~Total Net Leverage Ratio~~total net leverage ratio of 5.50:1.00, which maximum ~~Total Net Leverage Ratio shall~~ratio will decrease during certain subsequent test periods as set forth in the New Credit Agreement (provided that, no more than once during the term of the Facilities, such maximum ratio applicable at such time may be increased by the Company by 0.50:1.00 for a period of 12 months after the consummation of a material acquisition), and (b) a minimum ~~Interest Coverage Ratio~~interest coverage ratio of 2.00:1.00. As of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

The New Credit Agreement allows the Company to, among other things, make distributions to stockholders, repurchase its stock, incur other debt or liens, or acquire or dispose of assets provided that the Company complies with certain requirements and limitations of the New Credit Agreement.

The Company’s domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the New Credit Agreement, and the Company’s obligations and the domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

As of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, ~~$1,030,000~~$970,000 was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and approximately $3,675 of the Revolving Credit Facility was being utilized to provide letters of credit to secure the Company’s obligations relating to certain insurance programs, and the Company had the ability to borrow up to an additional $496,325 under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

On October 7, 2021, RBCA issued $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were approximately $491,992 after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses. On November 1, 2021, the Company used the proceeds to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company to (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness, (ii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders, (iii) make investments, (iv) create liens or use assets as security in other transactions, (v) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of its assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (vii) sell or transfer certain assets. These covenants contain various exceptions, limitations and qualifications. At any time that the Senior Notes are rated investment grade, certain of these covenants will be suspended.

The Senior Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RBC Bearings and certain of RBCA’s existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that also guarantee the New Credit Agreement.

Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.375% and is payable semi–annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.

The Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2029. The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after October 15, 2024 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may also redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings completed before October 15, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 104.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a “make–whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company sells certain of its assets or experiences specific kinds of changes in control, the Company must offer to purchase the Senior Notes.

Foreign ~~Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility~~Borrowing Arrangements

~~On August 15, 2019, one~~One of our foreign subsidiaries, Schaublin SA (“Schaublin”), entered into two separate credit agreements ~~(the “Foreign Credit Agreements”)~~in 2019 with Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. (the “Foreign Credit Agreements”) to (i) finance the acquisition of our Swiss Tool business unit, and (ii) provide future working capital. The Foreign Credit Agreements provided Schaublin with a CHF 15,000 (approximately $15,383) term loan, ~~(the “Foreign Term Loan”),~~ which was extinguished in February 2022, and a CHF 15,000 (approximately $15,383) revolving credit facility, ~~(the “Foreign Revolver”),~~ which was terminated asin October 2022. Schaublin now has a separate CHF 5,000 (approximately $5,407 USD) revolving credit facility (the “New Foreign Revolver”) with Credit Suisse to provide future working capital, if necessary. As of ~~October 1, 2022.~~December 31, 2022, $0 had been borrowed from the New Foreign Revolver. Fees associated with the New Foreign Revolver are nominal if the facility is not utilized.

A summary of the Company’s debt is presented in the table below:

11. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in numerous U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, with returns subject to examination for varying periods, but generally back to and including the year ending March 30, 2019, although certain tax credits generated in earlier years are open under statute from March 29, 2008. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years ending before March 30, 2019.

The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended ~~October~~December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, were 24.4% and ~~October 2, 2021, were 18.1% and 223.5%~~79.2%, respectively. In addition to discrete items, the effective income tax rates for both these periods were different from the U.S. statutory rates due to the foreign-derived intangible income provision and U.S. credit for increasing research activities, which decreased the rate, and state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and nondeductible stock-based compensation, which increased the rate. In the quarter ended, January 1, 2022, the Company’s tax rate was also increased by non-deductible transaction costs incurred in the Dodge acquisition.

The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 of 24.4% included $253 of tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation, partially offset by $218 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 would have been 24.5%. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended January 1, 2022 of 79.2% included $473 of tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation, partially offset by $146 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended January 1, 2022 would have been 91.6%. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that some of its unrecognized tax positions may be effectively settled within the next 12 months due to the closing of audits and the statute of limitations expiring in various jurisdictions. The decrease in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions, pertaining primarily to federal and state credits and state tax, is estimated to be approximately $3,086.

Income tax expense for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022 was $31,853 compared to $9,944 for the nine-month period ended January 1, 2022. Our effective income tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022 was 21.3% compared to 30.0% for the nine-month period ended January 1, 2022. In addition to discrete items, the effective income tax rates for both these periods are different from the U.S. statutory rates due to the foreign-derived intangible income provision and U.S. credit for increasing research activities, which decrease the rate, and state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and nondeductible stock-based compensation, that increase the rate. In the quarter ended, January 1, 2022, the Company’s tax rate was also increased by non-deductible transaction costs incurred in the Dodge acquisition.

The effective income tax rate for the ~~three-month~~nine-month period ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 of ~~18.1% includes $2,372~~21.3% included $3,228 of tax benefits associated with share-based compensation and $174 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended October 1, 2022 would have been 22.9%. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended October 2, 2021 of 223.5% includes $91 of tax benefits associated with share-based compensation offset by the establishment of a $1,853 valuation allowance for capital loss carryforwards we do not expect to recognize and $100 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended October 2, 2021 would have been 53.5%. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that some of its unrecognized tax positions may be effectively settled within the next 12 months due to the closing of audits and the statute of limitations expiring in varying jurisdictions. The decrease in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions, pertaining primarily to federal and state credits and state tax, is estimated to be approximately $3,068.

Income tax expense for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 was $20,165 compared to $7,868 for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021. Our effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 was 19.9% compared to 25.8% for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021. The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 of 19.9% includes $2,971 of tax benefits associated with share-basedstock-based compensation partially offset by ~~$187~~$30 of other items. The effective income tax rate without these benefits and other items for the ~~six-month~~nine-month period ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 would have been ~~23.0%~~23.5%. The effective income tax rate for the ~~six-month~~nine-month period ended ~~October 2, 2021~~January 1, 2022 of ~~25.8% includes $2,231~~30.0% included $2,703 of tax benefits associated with ~~share-based~~stock-based compensation offset by the establishment of a $1,853 valuation allowance for capital loss carryforwards we don’t expect to recognize and ~~$60~~$86 of other items. The effective income tax rate without these benefits, valuation allowance and other items for the ~~six-month~~nine-month period ended ~~October 2, 2021~~January 1, 2022 would have been ~~27.2%~~32.3%.

13. Dodge Acquisition

On November 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Dodge for approximately $2,908,241, net of cash acquired and subject to certain adjustments. The purchase price was paid with (i) $1,285,761 of borrowing under the Term Loan Facility, net of issuance costs, (ii) $1,050,811 of net proceeds from common stock and MCPS offerings, (iii) $494,200 of net proceeds from the Senior Notes offering, and (iv) approximately $77,469 of cash on hand. Since the close of the transaction, purchase price adjustments totaling ~~$22,966~~$28,710 have been recorded.

In the acquisition, the Company purchased 100% of the capital stock of certain entities, including Dodge Mechanical Power Transmission Company Inc. (now known as Dodge Industrial, Inc.), and certain other assets relating to ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd.’s mechanical power transmission business.

With offices in Greenville, South Carolina, Dodge is a leading manufacturer of mounted bearings, gearings and mechanical products with market-leading brand recognition. Dodge manufactures a complete line of mounted bearings, enclosed gearing and power transmission components across a diverse set of industrial end markets. Dodge primarily operates across the construction and mining aftermarket, and the food & beverage, warehousing and general machinery verticals, with sales predominately in the Americas.

Acquisition costs incurred for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022 totaled $22,598 and were recorded as period expenses and included within other, net within the consolidated statements of operations. Remaining acquisition-related costs incurred for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 were immaterial. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. The purchase price allocation ~~will be~~was completed during the third quarter of fiscal ~~2023 as we finalize the impact from taxes and other minor items.~~2023. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based on their fair values at the date of acquisition as follows:

The goodwill associated with this acquisition is the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of the acquired business with the ~~Company's~~Company’s operations, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. $44,941 of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets of $1,385,082, consisting primarily of customer relationships and trade names, was determined using the income approach. Specifically, a multi-period, excess earnings method was utilized for the customer relationships and the relief-from-royalty method was utilized for the trade name. The fair value of the customer relationships, $1,185,000, is being amortized based on the economic pattern of benefit over a period of 24 years; the fair value of the trade names, $200,000, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 26-year term. These amortization periods represent the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The results of operations for Dodge have been included in the Company’s financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on November 1, 2021. Dodge contributed ~~$192,267~~$174,765 of revenue and ~~$38,152~~$37,532 of operating income for the three months ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022. Dodge contributed ~~$369,740~~$544,505 of revenue and ~~$68,646~~$106,178 of operating income for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~October~~December 31, 2022. Dodge contributed $109,976 of revenue and $5,348 of operating income for both the three and nine months ended January 1, 2022.

The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma operating results of the Company for the three- and nine-month fiscal periods ended January 1, 2022, which gives effect to the acquisition of Dodge as if it had been acquired on March 29, 2020. The pro forma results are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the acquisition been effective March 29, 2020, nor are they intended to be indicative of results that may occur in the future. The underlying pro forma information includes the historical financial results of the Company and the acquired business adjusted for certain items such as amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition costs incurred. The pro forma information does not include the effects of any synergies, cost reduction initiatives or anticipated integration costs related to the acquisitions.

Upon closing, the Company entered into a transition services agreement ~~("TSA"~~(the “Dodge TSA”) with ABB, pursuant to which ABB agreed to support the information technology, human resources and benefits, finance, tax and treasury functions of the Dodge business for six to 12 months. Substantially all services under the Dodge TSA terminated on November 1, 2022. Costs associated with the Dodge TSA were ~~$3,999~~$1,241 and ~~$7,704~~$8,945 for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in other, net on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Since the purchase of the Dodge business on November 1, 2021, costs associated with the Dodge TSA were ~~$15,707~~$16,948 through ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022.

14. ~~Subsequent Events~~Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into a three-year USD-denominated interest rate swap ~~(“the Swap”~~(the “Swap”) ~~from~~with a third-party financial counterparty under the New Credit Agreement (see Note 10). The Swap was executed to protect the Company from interest rate volatility on our variable-rate Term Loan Facility. The Swap has an effective date of December 30, 2022 and is comprised of a $600,000 notional with a maturity of three years. RBC will receive a variable rate based on one-month ~~USD-SOFR CME~~ Term SOFR and will pay a fixed rate of 4.455%. The notional on the Swap will amortize as follows:

Year 1: $600,000

Year 2: $400,000

Year 3: $100,000

The Swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the first unhedged interest payments (the hedged transactions) paid over the hedging relationship’s specified time period of three years attributable to the borrowing’s contractually specified interest index on the hedged principal of its general borrowing program or replacement or refinancing thereof. The fair value of the Swap has been disclosed in Note 6. The accumulated other comprehensive income derivative component balance was a $1,116 loss at December 31, 2022. The gain/loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings will be recorded as interest income/expense on the Swap and will be included in the operating section of the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

Overview

We are a well-known international manufacturer and maker of highly engineered bearings and precision components. Our precision solutions are integral to the manufacture and operation of most machines and mechanical systems, reduce wear to moving parts, facilitate proper power transmission, and reduce damage and energy loss caused by friction. While we manufacture products in all major bearings categories, we focus primarily on the higher end of the bearing and engineered component markets where we believe our value-added manufacturing and engineering capabilities enable us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and enhance profitability. We believe our expertise has enabled us to garner leading positions in many of the product markets in which we primarily compete. With 56 facilities in 10 countries, of which 37 are manufacturing facilities, we have been able to significantly broaden our end markets, products, customer base and geographic reach.

Previously we operated under four reportable business segments – Plain Bearings, Roller Bearings, Ball Bearings, and Engineered Products – but the Dodge acquisition has resulted in a change in the internal organization of the Company and how our chief operating decision maker makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates resources so that we now operate under two reportable business segments – Aerospace/Defense and Industrial:

●

Industrial. This segment represents the end markets for the Company’s highly engineered bearings, gearings and precision components used in various industrial applications including: power transmission; construction, mining, energy and specialized equipment manufacturing; semiconductor production equipment manufacturing; agricultural machinery, commercial truck and automotive manufacturing; and tool holding.

Financial information for fiscal 2022 has been recast to conform to the new segment presentation.

The markets for our products are cyclical, and we have endeavored to mitigate this cyclicality by entering into single and sole-source relationships and long-term purchase agreements, through diversification across multiple market segments within the Aerospace/Defense and Industrial segments, by increasing sales to the aftermarket, and by focusing on developing highly customized solutions.

Currently, our strategy is built around maintaining our role as a leading manufacturer of highly engineered bearings and precision components through the following efforts:

●

Developing innovative solutions. By leveraging our design and manufacturing expertise and our extensive customer relationships, we continue to develop new products for markets in which there are substantial growth opportunities.

●

Expanding customer base and penetrating end markets. We continually seek opportunities to access new customers, geographic locations and bearing platforms with existing products or profitable new product opportunities.

●

Increasing aftermarket sales.We believe that increasing our aftermarket sales of replacement parts will further enhance the continuity and predictability of our revenues and enhance our profitability. Such sales include sales to third party distributors and sales to OEMs for replacement products and aftermarket services. The acquisition of Dodge has had a profound impact on our sales volumes to distributors and other aftermarket customers. We ~~will~~expect to further increase the percentage of our revenues derived from the replacement market by continuing to implement several initiatives.

●

Pursuing selective acquisitions. The acquisition of businesses that complement or expand our operations has been and continues to be an important element of our business strategy. We believe that there will continue to be consolidation within the industry that may present us with acquisition opportunities.

Outlook

Our net sales for the three-month period ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 increased ~~129.4%~~31.7% compared to the same period last fiscal ~~year; excluding~~year, which included only two months of sales attributable to the Dodge ~~sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, net sales were up 9.9% period over period.~~division. The increase in net sales was a result of a ~~290.7%~~41.6% increase in our Industrial segment and ~~11.4%~~13.2% increase in our Aerospace/Defense segment. Excluding sales from Dodge, our Industrial segment increased ~~7.9%~~11.8% year over year. Our backlog, as of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, was ~~$653.2~~$613.6 million compared to $603.1 million as of April 2, 2022.

We are continuing to see the recovery of the commercial aerospace business, which increased by ~~31.3%~~24.2% for the three-month period ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022 versus the same period last fiscal year. We anticipate this ~~recovery~~growth to continue throughout the rest of the fiscal year and beyond. Orders have continued to grow as evidenced by our backlog. Defense sales, which represented approximately ~~32.3%~~31.7% of segment sales during the quarter, were down ~~15.3%~~4.8% year over year. This iswas in part due to the timing of delivery on parts that require government approval ~~and/or completion of certain milestone achievements~~ prior to ~~invoicing.~~revenue being recognized.

The increase in our ~~industrial~~Industrial sales ~~reflects~~reflected a pattern of sustained growth over the last fiscal year, with strong results in several areas. Our ~~oil and gas~~energy business during the quarter continued a pattern of growth which is expected to continue into future periods. ~~Other notable strengths in industrial were in semiconductor and general industrial markets.~~

The Company expects net sales to be approximately ~~$348.0~~$375.0 million to ~~$360.0~~$385.0 million in the ~~third~~fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

We experienced strong cash flow generation during the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2023 ~~(as~~as discussed in the section “Liquidity and Capital Resources” ~~below).~~below. We expect this trend to continue ~~throughout~~into the fourth quarter of the fiscal year as customer demand continues to be significant. We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility will provide adequate resources to fund internal growth initiatives for the foreseeable future, including at least the next 12 months. As of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$88.5~~$82.0 million, of which approximately ~~$25.2~~$30.8 million was cash held by our foreign operations.

Segment Information

~~Segment Information~~

We previously reported our financial results under four operating segments (Plain Bearings; Roller Bearings; Ball Bearings; and Engineered Products), but the Dodge acquisition has resulted in a change in the internal organization of the Company and how our chief operating decision maker makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates resources. Accordingly, we ~~will~~ now report our financial results under two operating segments: Aerospace/Defense; and Industrial. Financial information for fiscal 2022 has been recast to conform to the new segment presentation. We use segment net sales and gross margin as the primary ~~measurement~~measurements to assess the financial performance of each reportable segment.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 39.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to 40.8% for the same period last fiscal year. The decrease in gross margin percentage was due to product mix.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 39.2% for the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared to 41.0% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin percentage is due to product mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(dollars in millions in tables)

Our business is capital-intensive. Our capital requirements include manufacturing equipment and materials. In addition, we have historically fueled our growth, in part, through acquisitions, including the Dodge acquisition completed on November 1, 2021. We have historically met our working capital, capital expenditure and acquisition funding needs through our net cash flows provided by operations, various debt arrangements and ~~sale~~sales of equity to investors. We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility will provide adequate resources to fund internal growth initiatives for the foreseeable future. For further discussion regarding the funding of the Dodge acquisition, refer to Part I, Item 1 – Note 13.

Our ability to meet future working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements will depend on our future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors, particularly interest rates, cyclical changes in our end markets and prices for steel and our ability to pass through price increases on a timely basis, many of which are outside of our control. In addition, future acquisitions could have a significant impact on our liquidity position and our need for additional funds.

From time to time, we evaluate our existing facilities and operations and their strategic importance to us. If we determine that a given facility or operation does not have future strategic importance, we may sell, relocate, consolidate or otherwise dispose of ~~those~~that facility or operations. Although we believe our operations would not be materially impaired by such dispositions, relocations or consolidations, we could incur significant cash or non-cash charges in connection with them.

Liquidity

As of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$88.5~~$82.0 million, of which approximately ~~$25.2 million~~$30.8 was cash held by our foreign operations. We expect that our undistributed foreign earnings will be re-invested indefinitely for working capital, internal growth and acquisitions for and by our foreign subsidiaries.

Domestic Credit Facility

On November 1, 2021 RBC Bearings Incorporated, our top holding company, and RBCA, our ~~Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc.~~top operating subsidiary, ~~(“RBCA”)~~ entered into athe New Credit Agreement ~~(the “New Credit Agreement”)~~ with Wells Fargo, ~~Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”),~~ as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer and the other lenders party thereto, and terminated the Company’s prior ~~Credit Agreement,~~credit agreement, which was entered into with Wells Fargo in ~~2015 (the “2015 Credit Agreement”).~~2015. The New Credit Agreement provides the Company with (a) a $1,300.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), which was used to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge and to pay related fees and expenses, and (b) a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Facilities”). Debt issuance costs associated with the New Credit Agreement totaled $14.9 million and ~~will be~~are being amortized over the life of the New Credit Agreement.

~~Amounts~~

Prior to December 2022, amounts outstanding under the Facilities generally ~~bear~~bore interest at either, at the Company’s option, (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime lending rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus ~~1/2 of 1.00%~~0.50% and (iii) the one-month ~~LIBOR~~London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) rate plus 1.00% or (b) the LIBOR rate plus a specified margin, depending on the type of borrowing being made. The applicable margin iswas based on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA from time to time. ~~Currently,~~In December 2022 the New Credit Agreement was amended to replace LIBOR with the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”) so that borrowings under the Facilities denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA. The Facilities are subject to a SOFR floor of 0.00%. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s margin iswas 0.50% for base rate loans and 1.50% for ~~LIBOR rate~~SOFR loans. The ~~Facilities are subject to a “LIBOR” floor of 0.00% and contain “hard-wired” LIBOR replacement provisions as set forth in the New Credit Agreement. As of October 1, 2022, the~~ Company’s commitment fee rate iswas 0.20% and the letter of credit fee rate was 1.50%.

The Term Loan Facility will mature on November 2, 2026 and amortizes in quarterly installments with the balance payable on the ~~Maturity Date.~~maturity date. The Company can elect to prepay some or all of the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty, which will offset future quarterly amortization installments. The required future principal payments on the Term Loan Facility are $0 for the remainder of fiscal 2023, $0 for fiscal 2024, and $0 for fiscal 2025, due to prepayments previously made, and approximately ~~$87.5~~$27.5 million for fiscal 2026, and $942.5 million for fiscal 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on November 2, 2026, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will be payable.

As of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, ~~$1,030.0~~$970.0 million was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and approximately $3.7 million of the Revolving Credit Facility was being utilized to provide letters of credit to secure the Company’s obligations relating to certain insurance programs, and the Company had the ability to borrow up to an additional $496.3 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

On October 7, 2021, RBCA issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of ~~4.375%~~the Senior ~~Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”).~~Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were approximately $492.0 million after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses. On November 1, 2021, the Company used the proceeds to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to ~~an indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The~~the Indenture, which contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company to (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness, (ii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders, (iii) make investments, (iv) create liens or use assets as security in other transactions, (v) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of its assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (vii) sell or transfer certain assets. These covenants contain various exceptions, limitations and qualifications. At any time that the Senior Notes are rated investment grade, certain of these covenants will be suspended.

Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.375% and is payable semi–annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each ~~year~~year.

Foreign ~~Term Loan and~~ Revolving Credit Facility

~~On August 15, 2019, one of our foreign subsidiaries, Schaublin SA (“Schaublin”), entered into two separate~~The New Foreign Revolver is a CHF 5.0 million (approximately $5.4 million USD) revolving credit ~~agreements (the “Foreign Credit Agreements”)~~facility with Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. to ~~(i) finance the acquisition of Swiss Tool, and (ii)~~ provide future working ~~capital.~~ capital, if necessary. As of December 31, 2022, $0 had been borrowed from the New Foreign Revolver. Fees associated with the New Foreign Revolver are nominal if the facility is not utilized.

Interest Rate Swap

The ~~Foreign~~Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in interest rates.

On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into a three-year USD-denominated interest rate swap (“the Swap”) from a third-party financial counterparty under the New Credit ~~Agreements provided Schaublin~~Agreement. The Swap was executed to protect the Company from interest rate volatility on our variable-rate Term Loan Facility. The Swap has an effective date of December 30, 2022 and is comprised of a $600.0 million notional with a ~~CHF 15.0 million (approximately $15.4 million) term loan (the “Foreign~~maturity of three years. RBC will receive a variable rate based on one-month Term ~~Loan”), which was extinguished in February 2022~~SOFR and will pay a ~~CHF 15.0 million (approximately $15.4 million) revolving credit facility (the “Foreign Revolver”), which was terminated~~fixed rate of 4.455%. The notional on the Swap will amortize as ~~of October 1, 2022.~~follows:

The ~~decrease~~increase of ~~$5.1~~$15.9 million ~~for fiscal 2023~~ was mainly a result of an increase in net income of $94.3 million and a favorable change in non-cash activity of $6.2 million partially offset by the unfavorable impact of athe net change in operating assets and liabilities of ~~$66.9 million, partially offset by a favorable change in non-cash activity of $3.2 million and an increase in net income of $58.6~~$84.6 million. The unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities is detailed in the table below, while the increase in non-cash charges resulted from a ~~$40.2~~$48.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization and a $0.1 million increase in the loss on disposal of assets, partially offset by unfavorable changes of ~~$15.8~~$17.5 million of ~~share-based~~stock-based compensation charges, ~~$11.3~~$11.4 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, ~~$7.8~~$10.5 million in deferred taxes, $0.9 million related to the extinguishment of debt in the prior year and $2.1 million of consolidation, restructuring, and other noncash charges.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were ~~$15.2~~$6.5 million and ~~$23.1~~$29.6 million for the three- and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, respectively. We expect to make additional capital expenditures of ~~$15.0~~$5.0 million to ~~$20.0~~$10.0 million during the remainder of fiscal 2023 in connection with our existing business. We expect to fund these capital expenditures principally through existing cash and internally generated funds. We may also make substantial additional capital expenditures in connection with acquisitions.

Obligations and Commitments

The Company’s fixed contractual obligations and commitments are primarily comprised of our debt obligations disclosed in Part I, Item 1- Note 10 of this report. We also have lease obligations which are materially consistent with what we disclosed in our ~~Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022.~~Annual Report.

Other Matters

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our ~~fiscal 2022~~ Annual Report ~~on Form 10-K/A~~ describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There ~~have been~~were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

~~As of October 1, 2022, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than~~The Company has $3.7 million of outstanding standby letters of credit, all of which ~~were~~are under the Revolving Credit Facility. We also have a contractual obligation for licenses related to the implementation and upgrade of an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system for Dodge. These license costs of $10.5 million will be incurred over a five-year period.

Other than the items noted above, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, which arise during the normal course of business from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rates. We currently have variable rate debt outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. We regularly evaluate the impact of interest rate changes on our net income and cash flow and take action to limit our exposure when appropriate. As discussed in Note 14 in Part I, Item I of this report, we entered into ~~an interest rate swap~~the Swap on October 28, 2022, which became effective on December 30, 2022.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. Our operations in the following countries utilize the following currencies as their functional currency:

●	● Australia – Australian dollar	●	● India – rupee
●	● Canada – Canadian dollar	●	● Mexico – peso
●	● China – Chinese yuan	●	● Poland – zloty
●	● France – euro	●	● Switzerland – Swiss franc
●	● Germany – euro

As a result, we are exposed to risk associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and these currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in earnings. Approximately 11% and 12% of our net sales were impacted by foreign currency fluctuations for both the three- and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to 9%12% and 11% for ~~both~~ the three- and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~October 2, 2021.~~January 1, 2022, respectively. Foreign currency transaction exposure arises primarily from the transfer of foreign currency from one subsidiary to another within the group, and to foreign currency denominated trade receivables. Unrealized currency translation gains and losses are recognized upon translation of the foreign operations’ balance sheets to U.S. dollars. Because our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our earnings. We periodically enter into derivative financial instruments in the form of forward exchange contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates on certain third-party sales transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. Based on the accounting guidance related to derivatives and hedging activities, we record derivative financial instruments at fair value. For derivative financial instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on these hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022, wethe Company had no ~~derivatives. As discussed in Note 14 in Part I, Item I of this report, we entered into an interest rate swap on October 28, 2022.~~forward exchange contracts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, ~~has~~ evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of ~~October 1,~~December 31, 2022. This evaluation excluded the Dodge business acquired on November 1, 2021 as we are currently in the process of integrating the internal controls and procedures of Dodge into our internal controls over financial reporting. As provided under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, we will include the internal controls and procedures of Dodge in our annual assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for our 2023 fiscal year.

Remediation of Material Weakness

To address the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in Part I, Item 4 of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 2, 2022, the Company enhanced and revised the design of existing controls and procedures to properly review employment agreements involving equity awards to ensure they are accounted for in accordance with the latest accounting pronouncements. The Company’s internal audit department will test the operating effectiveness of management’s controls during the fiscal year.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the changes related to the ~~Company's~~Company’s remediation efforts described above, ~~there has been~~ no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting ~~that~~ occurred during the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

As discussed in Note 13 included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, we acquired Dodge on November 1, 2021. We are currently in the process of integrating the internal controls and procedures of Dodge into our internal controls over financial reporting. As provided under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, we will include the internal controls and procedures of Dodge in our annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our 2023 fiscal year.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
