NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

NOTE 1 - INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all normal adjustments and disclosures necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of MarchDecember 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the three and ninesix month-month periods ended MarchDecember 31, 2021 and 2020, and its cash flows for the ninesix month-month periods ended MarchDecember 31, 2021 and 2020. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Financial information as of June 30, 20202021 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

 

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Consolidation:

 

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company’s fiscal 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), “Leases (Topic 842)” (ASC 842) in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 are discussed below.

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies the performance obligation in its customer contracts or purchase orders. Most of the Company’s products have a single performance obligation which is satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Control is generally transferred at time of shipment when title and risk of ownership passes to the customer. For customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price and any discounts to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 90 days from the shipping date, depending on the terms with the customer. The Company offers standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations.

 

Installation is a separate performance obligation, except for the Company’s digital signage products. For digital signage products, installation is not a separate performance obligation as the product and installation is the combined item promised in digital signage contracts. The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation responsibilities other than standard warranties.

 

A number of the Company's Graphicsdisplay solutions and select Lightinglighting products are highly customized for specific customers. As a result, these customized products do not have an alternative use. For these products, the Company has a legal right to payment for performance to date and generally does not accept returns on these items. The measurement of performance is based upon cost plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed. Because there is no alternative use and there is a legal right to payment, the Company transfers control of the item as the item is being produced and therefore, recognizes revenue over time. The customized product types are as follows:

 

 

Customer specific branded print graphics branding

 

Electrical components based on customer specifications

 

Digital signage and related media content

 

The Company also offers installation services for its Graphicsdisplay solutions elements and select Lightinglighting products. Installation revenue is recognized over time as ourthe customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided through the installation process.

 

For these customized products and installation services, revenue is recognized using a cost-based input method: recognizing revenue and gross profit as work is performed based on the relationship between the actual cost incurred and the total estimated cost for the contract.performance obligation.

 

Page 9

On occasion, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangements on a limited basis. Each bill-and-hold arrangement is reviewed and revenue is recognized only when certain criteria have been met: (1) the customer has requested delayed delivery and storage of the products by the Company because the customer wants to secure a supply of the products but lacks storage space; (ii) the risk of ownership has passed to the customer; (iii) the products are segregated from the Company’s other inventory items held for sale; (iv) the products are ready for shipment to the customer; and (v) the Company does not have the ability to use the products or direct them to another customer.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The Company disaggregates the revenue from contracts with customers by the timing of revenue recognition because the Company believes it best depicts the nature, amount, and timing of its revenue and cash flows. The table below presents a reconciliation of the disaggregation by reportable segments:

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

 

 

The Company’s contracts with customers have an expected duration of one year or less, as such, the Company applies the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred, and has omitted disclosures on the amount of remaining performance obligations.

 

Shipping costs that are not material in context of the delivery of products are expensed as incurred.

 

The Company’s accounts receivable balance represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive payment from its customers with contracts. Payments are generally due within 30 to 90 days of completion of the performance obligation and invoicing, therefore, payments do not contain significant financing components.

 

The Company collects sales tax and other taxes concurrent with revenue-producing activities which are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment activities and included in cost of products and services sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements:

 

OnIn July 1, 2019,October 2021, the Company adopted ASUThe Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 20162021-0208, using a modified-retrospective transition method, under which it elected“Business Combinations (Topic not805 to adjust comparative periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the new guidance. In addition, the Company elected accounting policies to not record short-term leases on the balance sheet): Accounting for Contract Assets and to not separate lease and non-lease components.

The Company’s most significant leases are those related to certain manufacturing facilities alongContract Liabilities from Contracts with a small office space. Besides these real estate leases, most other leases are insignificant and consist of leases relatedCustomers,” creating an exception to a vehicle, forklifts and various office equipment. The adoption of the new lease standard resulted in the recognition and measurement principles in ASC 805. The amendment requires that entities apply ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” rather than using fair value, to recognize and measure contracts assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, regardless of right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) of $10.4 million, lease liabilities of $10.8 million whichwhether a business combination occurs in that period. The guidance should be applied prospectively; however, an entity that elects to early adopt in an interim period should apply the amendments to all business combinations that occurred during the fiscal year that includes the impact of existing deferred rents and tenant improvement allowances and a $0.4 million adjustment to retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheets as of July 1, 2019 for the Company’s real estate leases. The adoption of the standard resulted in no material impact to the consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flow.that interim period.

 

On July 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASC 326 or "CECL"), which amended the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Page 10

 

In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” and ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform: Scope,” respectively. Together, the ASUs provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, if adopted.

NOTE3 — ACQUISITION OF JSI STORE FIXTURES

Subsequent Events:On May 21, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of JSI Store Fixtures (JSI), a Maine-based provider of retail commercial display solutions, for $93.7 million. The acquisition of JSI expands the Company’s total addressable markets within the grocery and convenience store verticals. The Company funded the acquisition with a combination of cash on hand and $71.6 million from the credit facility.

Page 11

The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination. The Company preliminarily allocated the purchase price of approximately $93.7 million, which included an estimate of customary post-closing purchase price adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values was recorded as goodwill. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, goodwill increased by $0.6 million. The increase is the net difference between the original estimate of recovery from the pre-funded working capital and the final cash received of $0.5 million. The preliminary allocation is subject to the finalization of pre-acquisition tax filings, which are expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of May 21, 2021, is as follows:

NOTE 78 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

The carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are impaired, or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level. The estimation of the fair value of reporting unit requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate. The estimates of the fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment. The fair value measurements of the reporting units are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements as defined by ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements.” The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.

 

The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing. TheFollowing the acquisition of JSI, the Company has a total of twothree reporting units that contain goodwill. There is oneNaN reporting unit is within the Lighting Segment and onetwo reporting unitunits are within the GraphicsDisplay Solutions Segment. The tradename intangible assets have an indefinite life and are also tested separately on an annual basis. The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing including, but not limited to, the Company’s stock price, operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

 

As of March 1, 2021, the Company performed its annual preliminary goodwill impairment test on the two reporting units that contain goodwill. The preliminary goodwill impairment test of the reporting unit in the Lighting Segment passed with a business enterprise value of $28.2 million or 26% above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill. The preliminary goodwill impairment test of the reporting unit with goodwill in the Graphics Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value of $11.4 million or 2,065% above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill. The definitive impairment test is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. It is anticipated that the results of the definitive test will not change when the test is complete.

In MarchSeptember 2021, the Company amended its existing $100 million secured line of credit, to a $100$25 million facility from aterm loan and $75 million facility that expiresremaining as a secured revolving line of credit. Both facilities expire in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The principal of the term loan is repaid $3.6 million annually over the five-year period with a balloon payment of the remaining balance due on the last month. Interest on both the revolving line of credit and the term loan is charged based upon an increment over the LIBOR rate or a base rate, at the Company’s option.

The increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate fluctuates between 100 and 200225 basis points, and the increment over the Base Rate fluctuates between 0 and 100125 basis points, both of which depend upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the line of credit agreement. The increment over LIBOR borrowing rate will be 100200 basis points for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.2022. The fee on the unused balance of the $100$75 million committed line of credit fluctuates between 15 and 22.525 basis points. Under the terms of this line of credit, the Company has agreed to a negative pledge of real estate assets and is required to comply with financial covenants that limit the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA and require a minimum interest coveragefixed charge ratio.

NOTE 15 - LEASES

 

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities along with a small office space, several forklifts, several small tooling items and various items of office equipment. The Company also acquired buildings, machinery and forklift leases with the acquisition of JSI, as well as one sublease. All but onetwo of the Company’s leases are operating leases. Leases have a remaining term of one to seven years some of which have an option to renew. The Company does not assume renewals in determining the lease term unless the renewals are deemed reasonably certain. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual guarantees or material variable lease payments.

 

Page 18

The Company has periodically entered into short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The Company elected not to record these leases on the balance sheet. For the three and ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2021 and 2020, the rent expense for these leases is immaterial.

 

The Company has certain leases that contain lease and non-lease components and has elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single lease component.

 

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate when determining the present value of lease payments. The adoption of the new lease standard resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $10.4 million and lease liabilities of $10.8 million which includes the impact of existing deferred rents and tenant improvement allowances on the consolidated balance sheets as of July 1, 2019 for the Company’s real estate leases. The adoption of the new standard resulted in no material impact to the consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flow.

NOTE 16 INCOME TAXES

 

The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions.

 

Page 21

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act allowed the Company to carry back a federal net operating loss to prior tax years, offset taxable income in those earlier tax years and request a refund of income taxes that were paid at a higher statutory tax rate. The Company recognized tax benefits of $0.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 for utilizing the net operating losses in the prior tax years. The Company sold its North Canton, Ohio facility in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 which generated a capital gain and allowed the Company to utilize a capital loss carryforward. The resulting tax benefit reduced the anticipated full year fiscal 2020 estimated effective income tax rate.

The $0.5 decrease from fiscal 2020 was impacted by the sale of the North Canton, Ohio facility in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $3.7 million. When the impact of the sale of the North Canton facility, other restructuring and plant closure costs, stock compensation expense and severance costs are removed from theAdjusted operating results, adjusted operating income, (loss), a Non-GAAP measure, was $2.5$5.9 million in the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2021 compared to ($0.5)$3.1 million in the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2020. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We believe it is appropriate to evaluate our performance after making adjustments to the as-reported U.S. GAAP operating income, net income, and earnings per share. Adjusted operating income, net income and earnings per share, which exclude the impact of restructuring and plant closure costs (gains), stock compensation expense, acquisition costs, severance costs and severancerestructuring costs are Non-GAAP financial measures. Also included below are Non-GAAP financial measures including Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA), Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Organic Net Debt.Sales. We believe that these adjusted supplemental measures are useful in assessing the operating performance of our business. These supplemental measures are used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to evaluate business results. Although the impacts of some of these items have been recognized in prior periods and could recur in future periods, we exclude these items because they provide greater comparability and enhanced visibility into our results of operations. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.  In addition, the non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.  Non-GAAP measures have limitations, in that they do not reflect all amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Therefore, these measures should be used only to evaluate our results in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures. Below is a reconciliation of these Non-GAAP measures to operating income, net income, and earnings per share for the periods indicated along with the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Organic Net Debt.Sales.

Consolidated Results

 

We reported $52,000$0.5 million and $128,000$0.1 million of net interest expense in the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2021 and MarchDecember 31, 2020, respectively. The increase in interest expense from fiscal 2021 to fiscal 2022 is the result of higher levels of debt outstanding on our credit facility. We also recorded other expense of $43,000 and $642,000expense/(income) in the three months ended MarchDecember 31, 2021 and MarchDecember 31, 2020, respectively, which is related to net foreign exchange currency transaction gainslosses and lossesgains through our Mexican subsidiary.and Canadian subsidiaries.

The decreaseincrease in interest expense from fiscal 20202021 to fiscal 20212022 is the result of lowerhigher levels of debt outstanding on our line of credit.credit facility. We also recorded other income of $0.2 millionexpense/(income) in the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2021 compared to other expense of $0.6 million in the nine months ended Marchand December 31, 2020, which is related to net foreign exchange currency transaction gainslosses and lossesgains through our Mexican subsidiary.and Canadian subsidiaries.

 

The $1.3$1.8 million of income tax expense in the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2021 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 19.1%22.2%. The $0.8 million income tax expense in the six months ended December 31, 2020 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 16.2% and was driven by a favorable deferred tax asset adjustment related to a net operating loss carryback from the CARES Act. The $1.7 million income tax expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2020 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 17.6%. The effective tax rate is mostly driven by the following: 1) a discrete item related to stock-based compensation expense; 2) a deferred tax asset adjustment related to a NOL carryback from the CARES Act; and 3) the utilization of a capital loss carryforward related to the capital gain on the sale of the North Canton, Ohio facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We consider our level of cash on hand, borrowing capacity, current ratio and working capital levels to be our most important measures of short-term liquidity. For long-term liquidity indicators, we believe our ratio of long-term debt to equity and our historical levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the most important measures.

 

At MarchDecember 31, 2021, we had working capital of $61.1$78.8 million compared to $51.2$54.1 million at June 30, 2020.2021. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.102.16 to 1 as compared to a ratio of 2.481.76 to 1 at June 30, 2020.2021. The $9.9 million increase in working capital from June 30, 20202021 to MarchDecember 31, 2021 is primarily driven by a $20.0$13.0 million increase in cash, $7.1net inventory, $11.5 million increase in net accounts receivable, $1.8and a $10.4 million increasedecrease in other current assets and $1.6 million increase in net inventory,accrued expenses, partially offset by a $10.8$3.8 million increase in accounts payable, and a $9.6$3.6 million increase in accrued expenses. While working capital has increased, non-cash working capital decreased as we continue to effectively manage itcurrent maturities of long-term debt and a $1.5 million decrease in the face of constantly changing market conditions due to COVID-19.other current assets.

 

Net accounts receivable was $45.0$69.2 million and $37.8$57.7 million at MarchDecember 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020,2021, respectively. DSO decreased to 5254 days at MarchDecember 31, 2021 from 56 days at June 30, 2020. We believe that our receivables are ultimately collectible or recoverable, net of certain reserves, and that aggregate allowances for doubtful accounts are adequate.2021.

 

Net inventories of $40.4$71.9 million at MarchDecember 31, 2021 increased $1.6$13.0 million from $38.8$58.9 million at June 30, 2020.2021. The increase of $1.6$13.0 million is the result of an increase in gross inventory of $2.2$13.2 million and an increase in obsolescence reserves of $0.6$0.2 million. Based on a strategy of balancing inventory levels with customer service and the timing of shipments,Lighting Segment net inventory increased $1.8$9.2 million, to support our product availability initiative to capitalize on new, short-lead time opportunities and to mitigate the ongoing supply chain challenges. Net inventory in the LightingDisplay Solutions Segment and $0.2increased $3.8 million, in the Graphics segment in the nine months ended March 31, 2021.to support several ongoing programs.

 

Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under our line of credit facility is our primary source of liquidity. In MarchSeptember 2021, the Companywe amended itsour existing $100 million secured line of credit, to a $100$25 million facility from aterm loan and $75 million facility, with $100 millionremaining as a secured revolving line of the credit line available as of April 23, 2021. This $100 million five-year credit line expirescredit. Both facilities expire in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. As of December 31, 2021, $13.4 million of the credit line was available. We are in compliance with all of our loan covenants. We believe that our $100 million line of credit facility plus cash flows from operating activities are adequate for fiscal 2021 operational and capital expenditure needs.needs for the remainder of fiscal 2022. However, as the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs.

We used $1.5$0.2 million and $0.9 million of cash related to investing activities in the ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2021 as comparedand December 31, 2020, respectively. Capital expenditures decreased from $0.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020 to $18.5$0.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company’s fiscal 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company has updated its critical accounting policy related to trade account receivables and allowances for credit losses effective July 1, 2020 from the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020 as follows:

All trade account receivables are reported net of allowances for credit losses. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our trade account receivables over the life of the underlying assets. Assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled together for determination of their current expected credit losses. The Company regularly performs detailed reviews of our pooled assets to evaluate the collectability of receivables based on a combination of past, current, and future financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected.
