Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No.2020-04, 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic848) 848). This ASU provides optional expedients to applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the reference rate reform, which affects the London Interbank Offered ("LIBO") Rate, if certain criteria are met. The amendments are effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We continue to monitor our contracts and transactions for potential application of this ASU.

Contract Liabilities

Sales Returns

The right of return may exist explicitly or implicitly with our customers. When the right of return exists, we adjust the transaction price for the estimated effect of returns. We estimate the expected returns using the expected value method by assessing historical sales levels and the timing and magnitude of historical sales return levels as a percent of sales and projecting this experience into the future.

11

Sales Incentives

Our sales contracts may contain various customer incentives, such as volume-based rebates or other promotions. We reduce the transaction price for certain customer programs and incentive offerings that represent variable consideration. Sales incentives given to our customers are recorded using the most likely amount approach for estimating the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. We forecast the most likely amount of the incentive to be paid at the time of sale, update this forecast quarterly, and adjust the transaction price accordingly to reflect the new amount of incentives expected to be earned by the customer. A majority of our customer incentives are settled within one year. We record our accruals for volume-based rebates and other promotions in other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Revenue

We sell separately priced prepaid contracts to our customers where we receive payment at the inception of the contract and defer recognition of the consideration received because we have to satisfy future performance obligations. Our deferred revenue balance is primarily attributed to prepaid maintenance contracts on our machines ranging from 12 months to 60 months. In circumstances where prepaid contracts are bundled with machines, we use an observable price to determine stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations.

2021 Credit Agreement

On April 5, 2021, we and certain of our foreign subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2021“2021 Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The 2021 Credit Agreement provides us and certain of our foreign subsidiaries access to a senior secured credit facility until April 3, 2026, consisting of a term loan facility in an amount up to $100.0 million and a revolving facility in an amount up to $450.0 million with an option to expand the credit facility by up to $275.0 million, with the consent of the lenders willing to provide additional borrowings in the form of increases to their revolving facility commitment or funding of incremental term loans. Borrowings may be denominated in U.S. dollars or certain other currencies.

The fee for committed funds under the revolving facility of the 2021 Credit Agreement ranges from an annual rate of 0.15% to 0.30%, depending on our leverage ratio. Borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the 2021 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities, but in any case, not less than 0%, plus an additional spread of 1.10% to 1.70%, depending on our leverage ratio or (b) the Alternate Base Rate which is the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the adjusted LIBO rate for a one-monthone-month period, but in any case, not less than 1.0%, plus, in any such case, 1.0%, plus an additional spread of 0.10% to 0.70%, depending on our leverage ratio.

In connection with the 2021 Credit Agreement, we reaffirmed our security interest in favor of the lenders in substantially all our personal property and pledged the stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of our first-tierfirst-tier foreign subsidiaries. The obligations under the 2021 Credit Agreement are also guaranteed by certain of our first-tierfirst-tier domestic subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries also provided a security interest in their similar personal property.

Our 2021 Credit Agreement restricts the payment of dividends or repurchasing of stock requiring that, after giving effect to such payments, no default exists or would result from such payment. Additionally, cash dividends are restricted to $7.5 million per quarter and approved levels of other restricted payments range from $60.0 million to unlimited based on our net leverage ratio (not(not taking into account any acquisition holiday) after giving effect to such payment.

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including but not limited to covenants restricting our ability to incur indebtedness and liens and to merge or consolidate with another entity. Further, the 2021 Credit Agreement contains the following covenants:

• 

A covenant requiring us to maintain an indebtedness to EBITDA ratio, determined as of the end of each of our fiscal quarters, of no greater than 3.50 to 1.00, with certain alternative requirements for permitted acquisitions greater than $50.0 million;

A covenant requiring us to maintain an EBITDA to interest expense ratio for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters as of the end of each quarter of no less than 3.00 to 1.00; and

• 

A covenant restricting us from paying dividends or repurchasing stock if, after giving effect to such payments and assuming no default exists or would result from such payment, our leverage ratio is greater than 2.50 to 1.00, in such case limiting such payments to $60.0 million during any fiscal year.

Redemption of Senior Notes

In the second quarter of 2021, the Company redeemed $300.0 million principal amount outstanding of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 ("Senior Notes"). We used the proceeds from the borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement to retire our Senior Notes and pay the $8.4 million call premium due upon redemption in the second quarter of 2021. In addition, we wrote off $2.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs in the second quarter of 2021.

Warranty

We record a liability for warranty claims at the time of sale. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, new product introductions and other factors. Warranty terms on machines generally range from one to four years. However, the majority of our claims are paid out within the first six to nine months following a sale. The majority of the liability for estimated warranty claims represents amounts to be paid out in the near term for qualified warranty issues, with immaterial amounts reserved to be paid for older equipment warranty issues.

The changes in warranty reserves were as follows:

Derivatives

Hedge Accounting and Hedging Programs

We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.

We evaluate hedge effectiveness on our hedges that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedge prospectively, as well as retrospectively, and record any ineffective portion of the hedging instruments along with the time value of purchased contracts in the same line item of the income statement as the item being hedged on our consolidated statements of income.

Our hedging policy establishes maximum limits for each counterparty to mitigate any concentration of risk.

Balance Sheet Hedges

We hedge our net recognized foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that the value of these assets and liabilities will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These contracts hedge assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies and are carried at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in the fair value recorded to net foreign currency transaction gain in our consolidated statements of income. These contracts do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,, the notional amounts of foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding not designated as hedging instruments were $145.8$80.0 million and $45.0 million, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedges

We use foreign currency exchange rate derivatives to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates for anticipated intercompany cash transactions between Tennant Company and its subsidiaries. We enter into these foreign exchange cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency denominated cash flows associated with this intercompany loan, and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. These cross-currency swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. The hedged cash flows as of December 31, 2021 included €152.4€152.4 million of total notional values. The loan and related swaps matured in April 2022.

Fair Value Hedges

On April 5, 2022, we entered into Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange cross-currency swaps associated with an intercompany loan from a wholly-ownedwholly owned European subsidiary. We enter into these foreign exchange cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with this intercompany loan, and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. These cross-currency swaps are designated as fair value hedges. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 these cross-currency swaps included €85.9€85.3 million of total notional value. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the aggregated scheduled interest payments over the course of the loan and related swaps amounted to €10.9€10.3 million. The scheduled maturity and principal payment of the loan and related swaps of €75.0€75.0 million are due in April 2027.

Net Investment Hedges

On April 5, 2022, we entered into Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposure to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements between Tennant Company and a wholly owned European subsidiary. We enter into these fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements to protect a designated monetary amount of the Company’s net investment in its Euro functional currency subsidiary against the risk of changes in the Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate. These cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the cross-currency swaps included €75.0€75.0 million of total notional values. These swaps are scheduled to mature in April 2027.

11.    Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. The framework defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The framework discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The framework utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

• 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

• 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
Our population of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was as follows:

Our foreign currency forward exchange contracts and cross-currency swaps are valued using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. Further details regarding our derivative instruments are discussed in Note 10.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

The fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current portion, was $266.8$282.4 million and $265.8$281.6 million, respectively, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022.2022. The fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current portion, was $271.2 million and $267.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.2021. The fair value was calculated based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and remaining maturities, which is a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Income Taxes

Table of Contents
14.    Income Taxes
We and our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. We are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for taxable years before 2018. The number of years which remain open for audit for U.S. state or foreign tax purposes varies by jurisdiction but generally ranges from three to five years. We are currently undergoing income tax examinations in various foreign jurisdictions. Although the outcome of these examinations cannot be currently determined, we believe that we have adequate reserves with respect to these examinations.

We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. In addition to the liability of $4.1$4.0 million for unrecognized tax benefits as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022,, there was approximately $0.6 million for accrued interest and penalties. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was $3.9$3.7 million. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be revised and reflected as an adjustment of the income tax expense.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into U.S. law. Under this law, there is a new 15% corporate minimum tax, which we do not believe will have an impact on the Company. In addition, beginning after December 31, 2022, there will be a 1% excise tax on certain share repurchases, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation

15.    Share-Based Compensation

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Tennant Company is a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions that empower customers to achieve quality cleaning performance, reduce environmental impact and help create a cleaner, safer, healthier world. The Company is committed to creating and commercializing breakthrough, sustainable cleaning innovations to enhance its broad suite of products, including floor maintenance and cleaning equipment, detergent-free and other sustainable cleaning technologies, aftermarket parts and consumables, equipment maintenance and repair service, and asset management solutions. Our products are used in many types of environments, including retail establishments, distribution centers, factories and warehouses, public venues such as arenas and stadiums, office buildings, schools and universities, hospitals and clinics, and more. Customers include contract cleaners to whom organizations outsource facilities maintenance as well as businesses that perform facilities maintenance themselves. The Company reaches these customers through the industry's largest direct sales and service organization and through a strong and well-supported network of authorized distributors worldwide.

Macroeconomic Events

We continue to actively manage our business to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts. We maintain our commitment to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers. We have continuedenhanced our enhancedon-site safety protocols on-site at our manufacturing facilities and continue to monitor the evolving situation and guidance from local authorities. Governments across the world have taken actions, including stay-at-home orders, to limit the spread of COVID-19. These actions, specifically in China, have and may continue to reduce operating activities and negatively impact financial results.

We continue to experience disruption in the supply of raw materials andkey component parts, as well as price inflation and inefficiencies as a result of supply chain issues. We have established frequent communications with suppliers to review, track and prioritize high-risk components. We have also identified and activated alternative suppliers, materials and components as needed. We continue to work closely with our suppliers to achieve a deeper integration into our suppliers' supply chains, including the procurement of sub-component parts. The Company continues work to minimize the impact of price inflation inon inputs and market supply challenges by employing local-for-local and region-for-region manufacturing and sourcing to allow us to manufacture our products closer to our customers. At the same time, our engineering teams are evaluating platform design to increase our sourcing flexibility. Regarding transportation, we have set up tracking, reporting and communication channels with carriers to understand their risks and to evaluate alternatives where necessary.

The crisis in Russia and Ukraine that began in February 2022 continues as of the date of this Form 10-Q. While we do not have any direct operations or employees in Russia or Ukraine and have suspended sales to Russia and Belarus, our operating results have and may continue to be negatively impacted by supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures stemming from this conflict. Sales to Russia and Belarus represented less than 1% of consolidated net sales and less than 2% of Europe, Middle East and Africa net sales for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition to fully adhering to all sanctions, we will continue to monitor developments in the region, including the impact of rising commodity and energy prices.

Due to the global nature of our operations, we are subject to exposures resulting from foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the normal course of business. The direct financial impact of foreign currency exchange includes the effect of translating profits from local currencies to U.S. dollars, the impact of currency fluctuations on the transfer of goods between our operations in the United States and our international operations and transaction gains and losses. Volatility in the foreign exchange market has and may continue to negatively impact the financial results of our international operations.
As described in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors, in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we may encounter financial difficulties if the United States or other global economies experience an additional or continued long-term economic downturn as our product sales are sensitive to declines in capital spending by our customers. Any sustained adverse impacts to our business, the industries in which we operate, market demand for our products, and/or certain suppliers or customers may also affect our future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. We are actively monitoring the macroeconomic environment, especially the potential impact of global supply chain constraints on material inflation, and the potential decreased demand for our products.

Outlook

We expect the supply chain challenges and inflationary trends to continue in the second half

Outlook
Global economic conditions continue to be highly volatile and uncertainty remains regarding the timing of a full recovery.recovery from supply chain challenges and inflationary trends. We continue to monitor pricescosts in the current inflationary environment and will take pricing action accordingly. Strategic investments made during the second quarter have positioned us to address the strong overall demand for our products in 2022. However, weWe anticipate that we will need to remain agile as we continue to manage evolving challenges throughout the year.challenges. We remain confident in the long-term growth trends for all our products and services in the markets we serve.

Total Other Expense, Net

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $1.2$2.2 million in the secondthird quarter of 2022 compared to $2.1$0.6 million in the same period of 2021. The increase was the result of rising interest rates on our variable interest rate debt.
Interest expense, net was $1.5$3.7 million in the first sixnine months of 2022 compared to $6.0$6.6 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease in both periodswas a result of 2021 was due to the restructuring of debt in the second quarter of 2021, which resulted in lower interest expense from more favorable interest rates anddue to a lower amount of outstanding debt.
Our debt portfolio as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was comprised of debt predominately in U.S. dollars. We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of borrowing activities with variable interest rates that impact interest incurred.

The effective tax rate for both the secondthird quarter and the first sixnine months of 2022 increased primarily due to a high level of discrete tax benefit items in 2021 compared to 2022 and the mix in expected full year taxable earnings by country. For the second quarter of 2021, theThe discrete tax benefits in 2021 included a tax benefit resulting from an election to step-up the tax basis of certain assets for Italian tax purposes, as well as the release of certain tax reserves as a result of a lapse in the applicable statute of limitations and a $3.4 million benefit associated with the reversal of avaluation allowances related to net operating loss carryovers. The valuation allowance related to tax loss carryovers in The Netherlands. The reversalrelease was driven by a change in law providing an unlimited carryforward period.
