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 March 31,September 30, 2022, the results of its operations for the three and nine-monththree-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2022, and 2021, and its cash flows for the nine-monththree-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2022, and 2021. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the fiscal 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K. Financial information as of June 30, 2021 2022, 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 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K.

 

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 display solutions and select lighting products are 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

 

Electrical components based on customer specifications

 

Digital signage and related media content

 

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

 

Page 9

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 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)(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,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.

 

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in the prior year in Note 7 have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08,2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” creating an exception to 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 whether 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 that interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Page 10

On

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)." This guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 such as recognizing deferred taxes for equity investments, the incremental approach to performing intra-period tax allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The standard also simplifies accounting for income taxes under U.S. GAAP by clarifying and amending existing guidance, including the recognition of deferred taxes for goodwill, the allocation of taxes to members of a consolidated group and requiring that an entity reflect the effect of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted ASC 2019-12 effective 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"),2021, 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 2016-13did not have a material impact on theits consolidated financial statements and relatedor disclosures.

 

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 adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 

NOTE3 — ACQUISITION OF JSI STORE FIXTURES

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.

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:

Goodwill recorded from the acquisition of JSI is attributable to the impact of the positive cash flow from JSI in addition to expected synergies from the business combination. The intangible assets include amounts recognized for the fair value of the trade name, technology assets, non-compete agreements and customer relationships. The fair value of the intangible assets was determined based upon the income (discounted cash flow) approach.

Pro Forma Impact of the Acquisition of JSI(unaudited)

The following table represents unaudited pro forma results of operations and gives effect to the acquisition of JSI as if the transaction had occurred on July 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the business combination been completed at the beginning of the period or the results that may occur in the future. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect the impact of any synergies or operating efficiencies resulting from the acquisition of JSI.

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 is prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and has been adjusted to give effect to the pro forma events that are: (1) directly attributable to the acquisition; (2) factually supportable; and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma operating income of $19.3 million for fiscal 2021 excludes acquisition-related expenses of $2.9 million.

NOTE 87 - 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 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. Following the acquisition of JSI, theThe Company has a total of 3three reporting units that contain goodwill. One reporting unit is within the Lighting Segment and 2two reporting units are within the Display 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.

 

Page 1614

As of March 1, 2022, the Company performed its annual preliminary goodwill impairment test on the 3 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 $31.6 million or 18% above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill. The preliminary goodwill impairment test of one reporting unit with goodwill in the Display Solutions Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value of $12.2 million or 1,316% above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill. The preliminary goodwill impairment test of the second reporting unit with goodwill in the Display Solutions Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value of $100.4 million or 12% 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 2022. It is anticipated that the results of the definitive test will not change when the test is complete.

In September 2021, the Company amended its existing $100 million secured line of credit, to a $25 million term loan and $75 million remaining 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 annually in the amount of $3.6 million annually over thea fivefive-year-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 base rate is calculated as the highest of (a) the Prime rate, (b) the sum of the Overnight Funding Rate plus 50 basis points and (c) the sum of the Daily LIBOR Rate plus 100 basis points as long as a Daily LIBOR rate is offered, ascertainable and not unlawful. The increment over the LIBOR borrowing rate fluctuates between 100 and 225 basis points, and the increment over the Base Rate fluctuates between 0 and 125 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. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s borrowing rate against its revolving line of credit was 4.8%. The increment over LIBOR borrowing rate will be 200175 basis points for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2023. The fee on the unused balance of the $75 million committed line of credit fluctuates between 15 and 25 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 fixed charge ratio. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, there was $13.2$18.9 million available for borrowing under the $75 million line of credit.

 

The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of March 31,September 30, 2022.

 

 

NOTE 109 - CASH DIVIDENDS

 

The Company paid cash dividends of $4.0$1.4 million and $1.3 million in both the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, and March 31, 2021. September 30, 2021, respectively. Dividends on restricted stock units in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.1 million were accrued as of both March 31,September 30, 2022, and 2021.2021, respectively. These dividends will be paid upon the vesting of the restricted stock and performance stock units when shares are issued to the award recipients. In AprilNovember 2022, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable May 17,November 22, 2022,to shareholders of record as of May 9, 2022. November 14, 2022. The indicated annual cash dividend rate is $0.20 per share.

NOTE 1110 – EQUITY COMPENSATION

 

In November 2019, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2019 Omnibus Award Plan ((“2019 Omnibus Plan”). which increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan by 2,350,000 and to remove the Plan’s fungible share counting feature. The purpose of the 2019 Omnibus Plan is to provide a means through which the Company may attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means by which directors, officers, and employees can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company. The number of shares that remain reserved for issuance under the 2019 Omnibus Plan prior to the amendment of the Plan equates to 1,569,9381,253,908 as of March 31,September 30, 2022. The 2019 Omnibus Plan implements the use of a fungible share ratio that consumes 2.5 available shares for every full value share awarded by the Company as stock compensation. The 2019 Omnibus Plan allows for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and other stock-based awards.

 

In the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, the Company granted 189,980 PSUs164,348 PSU’s and 145,781 RSUs,196,522 RSU’s, both with a weighted average fair market value of $8.16.$6.90. Stock compensation expense was $0.8 million and $0.4$0.6 million for both the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and $2.5 million and $1.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.2021.

NOTE 1513 - 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 two 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.

 

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 nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, and 2021, 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.

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.

 

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 $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 for utilizing the net operating losses in the prior tax years.

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 stock compensation expense, acquisition costs, severance costs, and restructuring costsconsulting expense related to commercial growth initiatives, 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, and Net Debt and Organic Net Sales.to Adjusted EBITDA. 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, and Net Debt and Organic Net Sales.to Adjusted EBITDA.

PART II.OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

On November 2, 2021, LSI Industries Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”). One of the proposals for the shareholders to consider was an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 (the “Amendment”). At the meeting the Amendment was reported as approved by shareholders. However, after the Meeting, the Company identified an inadvertent discrepancy related solely to disclosure and counting of broker non-votes and the Amendment proposal in the Meeting’s proxy statement. Although the counting of these broker non-votes would likely not have any effect on the approval of the Amendment, the Company, out of an abundance of caution, has determined to deem the Amendment not to be valid and will seek another vote and shareholder approval to amend its Articles to increase its authorized shares of common stock at a later date and subject to a new proxy statement. The Company has not issued any of the additional shares approved at the Meeting.None.
