The notes to condensed consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Twin Disc, Incorporated (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of the Company, include adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair statement of results for each period. 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 SEC rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The Company's reporting period ends on the last Friday of the quarterly calendar period. The Company's fiscal year ends on June 30,,regardless of the day of the week on which June 30 falls.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company changed its accounting method related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit plans (the “Accounting change”). Prior to the Accounting change, actuarial gains and losses were recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon annual remeasurement and were amortized into earnings in future periods when they exceeded the accounting corridor, a defined range within which amortization of net gains and losses is not required. Under the Accounting change, the accounting corridor of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and plan assets was modified to add full, immediate recognition above a second20% threshold. Although the decision to make the Accounting change occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the actual accounting method change was applied to all calculations for fiscal year end 2023, and retroactively applied to all other amounts presented in this Form 10-Q.

Under the new accounting method, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in net periodic benefit cost through a modified mark-to-market (expense) benefit upon annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events warrant remeasurement. The method for recognizing prior service credits (charges) as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into earnings in future periods is not changing. With respect to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, while the historical principle was acceptable, the Company believes the Accounting change is preferable as it better aligns with fair value principles by recognizing the effects of economic and interest rate changes in plan assets and liabilities in the year in which the gains and losses are incurred to the degree such accumulated gains and losses exceed the new 20% threshold in addition to amortizing the amounts between the 10% and 20% thresholds over time. The Accounting change has been applied retrospectively to prior years and amounts presented. As of July 1, 2022, the cumulative effect of the change resulted in $25.1 million decrease to retained earnings and a corresponding $25.1 million increase to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), both net of tax of $0 ($7.9 million in deferred tax asset offset by $7.9 million valuation allowance).

See Notes G, K, M and P for further information regarding the impact of the Accounting change on the Company’s current and prior consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued guidance (ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, respectively), intended to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments in this guidance are 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 Company’s financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance (ASU 2016-13) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-10 (collectively ASC 326). ASC 326 requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model and requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. The amendments in this guidance are effective for filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 (the Company’s fiscal 2024), with early adoption permitted for certain amendments. ASC 326 must be adopted by applying a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The ~~Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures.~~

In ~~March 2020~~ ~~and~~ ~~January 2021,~~ ~~the FASB issued guidance (ASU~~ ~~2020~~-04 ~~and ASU~~ ~~2021~~-~~01,~~ respectively), intended to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments in this guidance are 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 Company’s financial statements.

Under SEC Release 33-10513; 34-83550, Amendments to Smaller Reporting Company Definition, the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and accordingly, it has scaled some of its disclosures of financial and non-financial information in this quarterly report. The Company will continue to determine whether to provide additional scaled disclosures of financial or non-financial information in future quarterly reports, annual reports and/or proxy statements if it remains a smaller reporting company under SEC rules.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell most of its inventory for its boat management system product line located at one of its subsidiaries in Italy. The sale amount was below cost and resulted in the Company recognizing an inventory write-down of $2.1 million. The Company also evaluated its other boat management system inventory, not associated with the sale. This evaluation resulted in the Company recognizing an additional inventory write-down of $1.6 million for boat management system inventory located in the U.S.

The Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its suppliers. However, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, the number of units affected by the failure and the expense involved in satisfactorily addressing the situation. The warranty reserve is established based on our best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. When evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for warranty costs, management takes into consideration the term of the warranty coverage, historical claim rates and costs of repair, knowledge of the type and volume of new products and economic trends. While we believe the warranty reserve is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, such amounts estimated to be due and payable in the future could differ materially from what actually transpires. The following is a listing of the activity in the warranty reserve for the quarters ended ~~December 30, 2022~~September 29, 2023 and ~~December 31, 2021:~~September 30, 2022:

The current portion of the warranty accrual ($~~3,552~~3,409 and ~~$2,930~~$3,331 as of ~~December~~September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022,~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2021,~~ respectively) is reflected in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion ($~~594~~751 and ~~$553~~$473 as of ~~December~~September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022,~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2021,~~ respectively) is included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is involved in litigation of which the ultimate outcome and liability to the Company, if any, is not presently determinable. Management believes that final disposition of such litigation will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the manufacture and sale of marine and heavy-duty off-highway power transmission equipment. Principal products include marine transmissions, azimuth drives, surface drives, propellers and boat management systems, as well as power-shift transmissions, hydraulic torque converters, power take-offs, industrial clutches and controls systems. The Company sells to both domestic and foreign customers in a variety of market areas, principally pleasure craft, commercial and military marine markets, as well as in the energy and natural resources, government and industrial markets. The Company's worldwide sales to both domestic and foreign customers are transacted through a direct sales force and a distributor network.

The Company has two reportable segments: manufacturing and distribution. These segment structures reflect the way management makes operating decisions and manages the growth and profitability of the ~~business~~business. It also corresponds with management’s approach of allocating resources and assessing the performance of its segments. The accounting practices of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Transfers ~~between~~among segments are at established inter-company selling prices. Management evaluates the performance of its segments based on ~~their~~ net income.

The following table presents details deemed most relevant to the users of the financial statements for the quarters ~~and~~ ~~two~~ ~~quarters~~ ended ~~December 30, 2022~~September 29, 2023 and ~~December 31, 2021.~~September 30, 2022.

The Company has non-contributory, qualified defined benefit plans covering substantially all domestic employees hired prior to October 1, 2003 and certain foreign employees. Additionally, the Company provides healthcare and life insurance benefits for certain domestic retirees.

As discussed in Note A, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company changed its accounting method related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for its pension and postretirement benefit plans. Under the new method, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in net periodic benefit costs upon annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events warrant remeasurement. These changes have been applied retrospectively to prior years presented below. See Notes A, K, M, and P for further information regarding the impact of the change in accounting principle on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The components of the net periodic benefit cost for the defined benefit pension plans and the other postretirement benefit plan are as follows:

The service cost component is included in cost of goods sold and marketing, engineering and administrative expenses. All other components of net periodic benefit cost are included in other expense (income), net.

The Company expects to contribute approximately ~~$576~~$645 to its pension plans in fiscal ~~2023.~~2024. ~~For the~~As of ~~two~~September 29 2023, ~~quarters ended~~ ~~December 30, 2022,~~ ~~the amount of $387~~$182 in contributions to the pension plans ~~were~~have been made.

The Company ~~had changes~~has reclassified ($171) (net of $5 in taxes) of benefit plan adjustments ~~totaling ($515) (net of $1 in taxes)~~ from accumulated other comprehensive loss during the quarter ended ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, and ~~$623~~($89) (net of ~~($115)~~$9 in taxes) during the quarter ended ~~December 31, 2021.~~September 30, 2022. These ~~changes~~reclassifications are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost. ~~The Company had changes in benefit plan adjustments totaling $3 (net of $3 in taxes) from accumulated other comprehensive loss during the~~ ~~two~~ ~~quarters ended~~ ~~December 30, 2022,~~ ~~and $1,007 (net of $2 in taxes) during the~~ ~~two~~ ~~quarters ended~~ ~~December 31, 2021.~~ These changes are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost. Included in changes in benefit plan adjustments, the Company had a plan merger remeasurement adjustment of ($1,115) during the quarter ended ~~December 30, 2022.~~

Accounting policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate (AETR). Under this effective tax rate methodology, the Company applies an estimated annual income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter. To calculate its AETR, an entity must estimate its ordinary income or loss and the related tax expense or benefit for its full fiscal year. In situations in which an entity is in a loss position and recognizes a full valuation allowance, the guidance in ASC 740-270-25-9 applies. Due to continued historical domestic losses and uncertain future domestic earnings, the Company ~~recognizes~~continues to recognize a full USdomestic valuation allowance. Permanent differences continue to fluctuate and are significant compared to projected ordinary income. Therefore, per ASC guidance, the fully valued domestic entity was removed from the annualized effective rate calculation. Because of the full US valuation allowance, the US entity may only recognize tax expense / benefit recorded for ~~ASC-~~ASC 740-10 adjustments.

For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~December~~September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2021~~ the Company’s effective income tax rate was ~~175.9%~~(101.7)% and ~~-131.1%~~26.3% respectively. InForeign earnings were $3,200 and ($2,080), respectively, with a related tax expense of $516 and ($702), respectively. Domestic losses were ($3,700) and ($542), respectively, with a related tax expense of $30 and $14, respectively. Due to the ~~prior year, foreign income and expense were recognized. However, there was~~full US valuation allowance currently in place, no tax benefit can be recognized on the domestic losses. This inability to recognize a ~~significant~~tax benefit for domestic ~~loss, resulting~~purposes resulted in a net global loss, creating a negative effective tax rate. Current year overall financial improvement resulted in positive net global earnings, yielding a positive effective tax rate. Foreign income and expense was recognized, although there continues to be negative domestic earnings. In addition, an amended foreign return anticipated to be filed further increasedconsolidated tax expense ~~recognized in this quarter.~~

~~In the post pandemic era, the Company continues to monitor for any revisions enacted under the Tax Cuts~~of $546 and ~~Job Act (TCJA)~~($688) respectively, on a year-to-date loss of ($537) and ($2,012), ~~Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the American Rescue Plan (ARPA). On~~ ~~August 16, 2022,~~ President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This landmark United States law aims to reduce inflation by reducing the deficit, lowering prescription drug prices and investing into domestic energy production while promoting clean energy. At this time it is ~~not~~ ~~certain what, if any, impact this will have on the Company.~~respectively.

The Company maintains valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is required, the Company takes into account such factors as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset. In addition, all other available positive and negative evidence is taken into consideration, including all new impacts of tax reform. The Company has evaluated the realizability of the net deferred tax assets related to its foreign operations and based on this evaluation management has concluded that no valuation allowances are required. ~~However, due to historical domestic losses and uncertain future domestic earnings, the Company continues to recognize a full domestic valuation allowance.~~

The Company has approximately ~~$783~~$867 of unrecognized tax benefits, ~~which include $53 of related~~including interest and penalties, as of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, which, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate. There were no significant changes in the total unrecognized tax benefits due to the settlement of audits, the expiration of statutes of limitations or for other items during the quarter ended ~~December 30, 2022.~~September 29, 2023. It appears possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next twelve months due to on-going activity.

Annually, the Company files income tax returns in various taxing jurisdictions inside and outside the United States. In general, the tax years that remain subject to examination in foreign jurisdictions are ~~2014~~2018 through ~~2021.~~2023. The tax year open to exam in the Netherlands is 2019. The tax years open to examination in the U.S. are for years subsequent to fiscal ~~2017.~~2018. It is reasonably possible that other audit cycles will be completed during fiscal ~~2023.~~2024.

As of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, the following acquired intangible assets have definite useful lives and are subject to amortization:

Other intangibles consist mainly of computer software. Amortization is recorded on the basis of straight-line or accelerated, as appropriate, over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The weighted average remaining useful life of the intangible assets included in the table above is approximately 75 years.

Intangible amortization expense was ~~$704~~$819 and ~~$804~~$698 for the quarters ended ~~December~~September 29, 2023, and September 30, 2022,~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2021,~~ ~~respectively. Intangible amortization expense was $1,402 and $1,630 for the~~ ~~two~~ ~~quarters ended~~ ~~December 30, 2022,~~ ~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2021,~~ respectively. Estimated intangible amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 and each of the next five fiscal years ~~and thereafter~~ is as follows:

Long-term debt at ~~December 30, 2022~~September 29, 2023 and June 30, ~~2022~~2023 consisted of the following:

Credit Agreement Debt: ~~The Company’s credit agreement debt represents borrowings made under~~ On June 29, 2018, the ~~credit agreement, as amended, which it~~Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank ~~N.A,~~N.A. (“BMO”) on ~~June 29, 2018 (~~~~“Credit Agreement”). Under~~that provided for the ~~agreement,~~assignment and assumption of the ~~Company, among other obligations, is subject to a minimum EBITDA financial covenant.~~

On ~~June 30, 2022,~~ ~~the Company entered into Amendment~~ ~~No.~~9 ~~to Credit Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”) that amends and extends the Credit Agreement dated as of~~ ~~June 29, 2018,~~ ~~as amended (the “Credit Agreement”)~~previously existing loans between the Company and ~~BMO.~~

Credit Agreement”) and subsequent amendments into a term loan (the “Term Loan”) and revolving credit loans (each a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans,” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, ~~as in effect prior~~BMO agreed to make the ~~Ninth Amendment, the Bank made a~~ Term Loan to the Company in ~~the~~a principal amount ~~of $20~~not to exceed $35.0 million and the Company may, from time to time prior to the maturity date, enter into Revolving Loans in amounts not to exceed, in the aggregate, ~~and~~$50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”), subject to a Borrowing Base ~~$40~~based on Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables. Subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement reduced the Term Loan to $20.0 million, ~~(the “Revolving~~extended the maturity date of the Term Loan to March 4, 2026, and require the Company to make principal installment payments on the Term Loan of $0.5 million per quarter. In addition, under subsequent amendments to the Credit ~~Commitment”).~~Agreement, BMO’s Revolving Credit Commitment is currently $40.0 million. The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to obtain Letters of Credit from ~~the Bank,~~BMO, which if drawn upon by the beneficiary thereof and paid by ~~the Bank,~~BMO, would become Revolving Loans.

~~The Ninth Amendment extended~~ Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may not pay cash dividends on its common stock in excess of $3.0 million in any fiscal year. The term of the Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement currently runs through June 30, 2025.~~Prior to the Ninth Amendment,~~

Under the Credit Agreement ~~was scheduled to terminate~~ as of ~~June 30, 2023.~~

~~The Ninth Amendment also formally terminated the~~ ~~January 27, 2021~~ ~~Forbearance Agreement, which had been entered into because the Company had~~ ~~not~~ ~~been in compliance with a requirement to maintain a minimum EBITDA of $2.5 million for the~~ ~~three~~ ~~fiscal quarters ended as of~~ ~~December 25, 2020.~~ The Bank also waived the Company’s compliance with the minimum EBITDA requirements under the Credit Agreement and any Event of Default associated with the Company’s noncompliance with the minimum EBITDA requirements.

~~The Ninth Amendment also replaced LIBOR-based~~amended, interest rates ~~with different benchmark rates~~are based on either the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”). Loans ~~under the Credit Agreement~~ are designated either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin, or “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin. Amounts drawn on a Letter of Credit that are not timely reimbursed to the Bank bear interest at a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Company also pays a commitment fee on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment equal to an Applicable Margin.

The Ninth Amendment also reduced the Applicable Margins from the rates that had been in effect during the period of the Forbearance Agreement. During the period covered by the Forbearance Agreement, the Applicable Margins for Revolving Loans, Term Loans, and the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment were 3.25%, 3.875%, and .20%, respectively. Under the Ninth Amendment, Currently, the Applicable Margins are between 1.25% and 2.75% for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit; 1.375% and 2.875% for Term Loans; and ~~.10%~~0.10% and ~~.15%~~0.15% for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio).

The ~~Ninth Amendment also revised~~Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the ~~Company’s~~Company to meet certain financial ~~covenants under~~covenants. Specifically, the ~~Credit Agreement. The~~ Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio ~~(for which the Bank provided relief during period covered by the Forbearance Agreement)~~ may not exceed 3.50 to 1.00, and the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. The Company’s Tangible Net Worth may not be less than $100 million plus 50% of positive Net Income for each fiscal year ending on or after June 30, 2023.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. The Company has also pledged 100% of its equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries and 65% of its equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company also entered into a Collateral Assignment of Rights under Purchase Agreement for its acquisition of Veth Propulsion. To effect these security interests, the Company entered into various amendment and assignment agreements that consent to the assignment of certain agreements previously entered into between the Company and the Bank of Montreal in connection with the 2016 Credit Agreement. The Company also amended and assigned to BMO a Negative Pledge Agreement that it has previously entered into with Bank of Montreal, pursuant to which it agreed not to sell, lease or otherwise encumber real estate that it owns except as permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Negative Pledge Agreement.

The Company has also entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with the Bank, reflecting the Bank’s security interest in deposit accounts the Company maintains with the Bank. The Bank may not provide a notice of exclusive control of a deposit account (thereby obtaining exclusive control of the account) prior to the occurrence or existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or otherwise upon the occurrence or existence of an event or condition that would, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, BMO may take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate its remaining obligations under the Credit Agreement; (2) declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; and (3) demand the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate L/C Obligations or a greater amount if BMO determines a greater amount is necessary. If such Event of Default is due to the Company’s bankruptcy, BMO may take the three actions listed above without notice to the Company.

~~The Credit Agreement, including its amendments, is more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form~~ 10~~-K for~~ ~~June 30, 2022,~~ ~~as well as in Item~~ 2 ~~of this quarterly report.~~

As of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, current maturities include $2,000 of term loan payments due within the coming year.

Other: Other long-term debt pertains mainly to a financing arrangement in Europe. These liabilities carry terms of three to five years and implied interest rates ranging from 7% to 25%. A total amount of ~~$28~~$7 in principal was paid on these liabilities during the current fiscal year.

As of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, the Company’s borrowing capacity on the Revolving Loans under the terms of the Credit Agreement was ~~$39,477,~~$37,665, and the Company had approximately ~~$20,096~~$27,032 of available borrowings. In addition to the Credit Agreement, the Company has established unsecured lines of credit that are used from time to time to secure certain performance obligations by the Company.

The Company’s borrowings described above approximate fair value at ~~December 30, 2022~~September 29, 2023 and June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, long-term debt (including the current portion) would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company is party to an interest rate swap arrangement with Bank of Montreal, with an initial notional amount of $20,000 and a maturity date of March 4, 2026 to hedge the Term Loan. As of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, the notional amount was ~~$12,500.~~$11,000. This swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

Reconciliation for the changes in benefit plan adjustments, net of tax for the quarter ended ~~December 31, 2021~~September 30, 2022 is as follows:

~~The Company has implemented various restructuring programs in response to unfavorable macroeconomic trends in certain of the Company’s markets since the~~ ~~fourth~~ ~~quarter of fiscal~~ ~~2015.~~ ~~These programs primarily involved the reduction of workforce in several of the Company’s manufacturing locations, under a combination of voluntary and involuntary programs. During the~~ ~~fourth~~ ~~quarter of fiscal~~ ~~2021,~~ ~~the Company undertook a series of steps to accelerate its focus on its core competencies, improve its fixed cost structure, and monetize some of its under-utilized assets.~~

~~With regard to its Belgian operations, on~~ ~~June 30, 2021,~~ ~~the Company announced a new phase in its restructuring plans. Under this plan, the Belgian operation’s workforce was reduced by~~ 18 ~~employees. This reduction in workforce resulted in an accrual of $2,200, pertaining to the Company’s estimate for the payment of severance benefits, which is expected to be completed by~~ ~~June 2023.~~ ~~The action was taken to allow the Belgian operation to focus resources on core manufacturing processes, while allowing for savings on the outsourcing of non-core processes.~~

~~In the~~ ~~second~~ ~~quarter of fiscal~~ ~~2022,~~ the Company and the union representing certain of the employees affected by the restructuring of the Belgian operation came to an agreement on a final settlement amount of $3,200. The Company recorded the additional $1,000 in restructuring charges during the ~~second~~ ~~quarter of fiscal~~ ~~2022.~~

~~Total restructuring charges relating to streamlining operations totaled $164 and $1,190 in the quarters ending~~ ~~December 30, 2022~~ ~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2021,~~ ~~respectively. Total restructuring charges relating to streamlining operations totaled to $174 and $1,238 in the~~ ~~two~~ ~~quarters ending~~ ~~December 30, 2022~~ ~~and~~ ~~December 31, 2021,~~ ~~respectively. Restructuring activities since~~ ~~June 2015~~ ~~have resulted in the elimination of 254 full-time employees in the manufacturing segment. Accumulated costs to date under these programs within the manufacturing segment through~~ ~~December 30, 2022~~ ~~were $16,383.~~

To improve its fixed cost structure and monetize some of its under-utilized assets, the Company commenced the active marketing of several of its real estate ~~properties, namely, its corporate headquarters in Racine, its propeller machining plant and office in Switzerland, and a spare warehouse in Italy during the~~ ~~fourth~~ ~~quarter of fiscal~~ ~~2021~~.properties. Such actions required the Company to reclassify these assets from Property, Plant and Equipment to Assets Held for Sale, at fair value less costs to sell, or net book value, whichever is lower. Fair value was determined using real estate broker estimates and would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. This assessment of fair value resulted in the Company recognizing a write-down of the carrying value of its former corporate headquarters by $4,267 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

~~In the~~ ~~first~~ ~~quarter of fiscal~~ ~~2022,~~ ~~the~~ The Company ~~completed~~expects to complete the sale of its ~~propeller machining plant and office in Switzerland and received $9,138 in proceeds, net of fees and local taxes and recorded a gain of $2,939 in other operating income. In~~former corporate headquarters before the ~~fourth~~ ~~quarter~~end of fiscal year ~~2022~~2024., ~~the Company completed the sale of its spare warehouse in Italy and received net proceeds of approximately $305.~~

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company commenced the active marketing of an additional real estate property located in Nivelles, Belgium. This action required the Company to reclassify these assets from Property, Plant, and Equipment to Assets Held for Sale, at fair value less costs to sell or net book value, whichever is lower. Fair value was determined using real estate broker estimates and would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The real estate property's fair value less costs to sell exceeded its net book value. The Company reclassified the property's net book value of $2,801 from Property, Plant, and Equipment to Assets Held for Sale.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company completed the sale of the real estate property located in Belgium and received $7,150 in proceeds, net of fees and recorded a gain of $4,161 in other operating income. ~~The~~

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company entered into ~~a lease~~an agreement to ~~leaseback~~sell certain machinery assets, inventory, and legal relationships of its boat management systems product line. This action required the ~~property~~Company to reclassify these assets from Property, Plant and Equipment and Inventory to Assets Held for Sale, at fair value less costs to sell, or net book value, whichever is lower. The fair value of the machinery assets was determined using local internal specialists. The machinery assets’ fair value less costs to sell exceeded its net book value. The boat management systems inventory was valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value was determined using the offer amount from the buyer less costs to sell. This assessment resulted in the Company recognizing a write-down of the carrying value of its boat management systems inventory of ~~two~~$2.1~~-year term.~~ million. The write-down was classified in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive loss as a component of cost of goods sold. The agreement closed October 30, 2023.

The Company calculates basic earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, while the calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes all potential common shares if their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. Certain restricted stock award recipients have a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends declared by the Company and are therefore included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

As discussed in Note A, during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company changed its accounting method related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for its pension plans. Under the new method, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in net periodic benefit costs upon annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events warrant remeasurement. These changes have been applied retrospectively to prior years. See Notes A, G, K, and P for further information regarding the impact of the change in accounting principle on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The following potential common shares were excluded from diluted EPS for the ~~two~~ ~~quarters~~quarter ended ~~December 31, 2022~~September 29, 2023 ~~as the Company reported a net loss: 438.9~~because they were anti-dilutive: 265.0 related to the Company’s unvested PSAs, ~~309.2~~5.2 related to the Company’s unvested PSUA awards, 108.5 related to the Company’s unvested RS awards, and ~~130.9~~72.6 related to the Company’s unvested RSUs.

The Company leases certain office and warehouse space, as well as production and office equipment.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. The lease term begins upon lease commencement, which is when the Company takes possession of the asset, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. As its lease agreements typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company primarily uses an incremental borrowing rate based upon the information available at lease commencement. In determining the incremental borrowing rate, the Company considers its current borrowing rate, the term of the lease, and the economic environments where the lease activity is concentrated. Some of the Company’s leases contain non-lease components (e.g., common area, other maintenance costs, etc.) that relate to the lease components of the agreement. Non-lease components and the lease components to which they relate are accounted for as a single lease component.

From time to time, the Company enters into derivative instruments to manage volatility arising from risks relating to interest ~~rate~~rates and foreign currency exchange ~~rate volatility.~~rates. The Company does not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company’s practice is to terminate derivative transactions if the underlying asset or liability matures or is sold or terminated, or if it determines the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring.

The Company reports all derivative instruments on its condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of transactions entered into for hedging purposes.

The Company has one outstanding interest rate swap contract as of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, with a notional amount of ~~$12,500.~~$11,000. It has been designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

The primary purpose of the Company’s cash flow hedging activities is to manage the potential changes in value associated with interest payments on the Company’s SOFR-based indebtedness. The Company records gains and losses on interest rate swap contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent that these hedges are effective and until the Company recognizes the underlying transactions in net earnings, at which time these gains and losses are recognized in interest expense on its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive ~~income~~ (loss). income.

In the financial review that follows, we discuss our results of operations, financial condition and certain other information. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements as of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, and related notes, as reported in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include the Company’s description of plans and objectives for future operations and assumptions behind those plans. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” and “expects,” or similar anticipatory expressions, usually identify forward-looking statements. In addition, goals established by the Company should not be viewed as guarantees or promises of future performance. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.

In addition to the assumptions and information referred to specifically in the forward-looking statements, other factors, including but not limited to those factors discussed under Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, as supplemented in this Quarterly Report, could cause actual results to be materially different from what is expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.

Comparison of the ~~Second~~First Quarter of Fiscal ~~2023~~2024 with the ~~Second~~First Quarter of Fiscal ~~2022~~2023

Net sales for the ~~second~~first quarter increased ~~5.8%~~13.7%, or ~~$3.5~~$7.7 million, to ~~$63.4~~$63.6 million from ~~$59.9~~$55.9 million in the same quarter a year ago. The Company ~~continues to experience strong demand~~has benefited from favorable market conditions across most geographies and product groups through fiscal 2023 and into fiscal 2024. With the easing of its markets following the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in fiscal 2021, including demand for new transmissions in the North American oil and gas market, along with the ongoing demand for aftermarket support. The Company’s ability to ship product continues to be hampered by a variety ofglobal supply chain ~~challenges. These include supplier capacity constraints, extended supplier lead times and a global shortage of electronic components.~~disruptions, the Company has been able to improve delivery performance. Global sales ~~of industrial products declined slightly (2.5%), primarily due to an unfavorable currency impact, while shipments~~ of marine and propulsion products improved ~~by 2.7% and off-highway transmission shipments grew by 10.2% compared with~~24.3% from the prior year, ~~second quarter.~~while shipments of off-highway transmission products improved by 16.6%. Shipments of industrial products declined by 19.1%, with a slow-down in the domestic housing and construction markets. The ~~North American~~Asia Pacific region enjoyed the most significant sales improvement ($~~6.2~~7.3 million or ~~32.0%~~58.9%) due to ~~generally improving market conditions~~improved shipments of oil and ~~increased new unit~~gas transmissions into China, an improved demand for commercial marine products and continued strength in pleasure craft demand in Australia. The European region also saw a significant increase ($6.0 million or 38.5%), with improved operational performance at our facilities in Belgium and the Netherlands. Sales into North America decreased 17.1%, or $3.9 million, primarily due to some softening in aftermarket demand in the North American energy market. The European region saw a more modest increase ($0.7 million or 3.7%), with a more challenging economy and the negative impact of currency exchange. Sales into the Asia Pacific region decreased 8.3%, or $1.1 million, primarily due to a temporary pause in shipments of certain oil and gas ~~related products into China.~~market.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 improved to ~~26.9%~~26.2%, compared to ~~22.5%~~23.8% for the same period last year. The current year first quarter result reflects the unfavorable impact of the write down of inventory associated with the sale of the assets related to the Company’s boat management systems product line, which resulted in a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold totaling $3.1 million. Adjusting for these non-recurring items, the current year gross profit percent would have been 31.1%.

For the fiscal ~~2023 second~~2024 first quarter, marketing, engineering and administrative (“ME&A”) expenses, as a percentage of sales, were ~~25.2%~~26.6%, compared to ~~25.5%~~27.0% for the fiscal ~~2022 second~~2023 first quarter. ME&A expenses increased ~~$0.7~~$1.8 million ~~(4.7%~~(12.2%) versus the same period last fiscal year. The increase in ME&A spending for the quarter was comprised of ~~the incremental impact of prior year COVID subsidies~~higher wages and benefits ($~~0.8~~0.7 million), ~~increased~~ professional fees ($~~0.5~~0.3 million), travel costs ($0.3 million), software maintenance ($0.2 million) product development ($0.1 million) and ~~other inflationary impacts~~a positive currency translation impact ($0.2 million). These increases were ~~partially offset~~driven by ~~a foreign currency translation impact of $0.8 million.~~inflationary impacts and investment in resources to support our hybrid electric strategy.

The Company incurred minor restructuring charges during the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 and fiscal ~~2022,~~2023, primarily associated with ongoing cost reduction actions at its European operations and actions to adjust the cost structure at the Company’s domestic operation. The Company continues to focus on actively managing its cost structure and reducing fixed ~~costs.~~

~~The Company recorded other operating income of $4.2 million~~costs in ~~the second quarter of fiscal 2023 associated with the gain on the sale~~light of the ~~Company’s facility in Belgium. The building was sold for approximately $7.2 million. The Company entered into a lease agreement to leaseback the property for a two-year term.~~

~~Interest expense was relatively flat at $0.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, with a slightly higher rate partially offset by a lower average outstanding revolver balance.~~

~~Other expense of $0.8 million for the second fiscal quarter was primarily attributable to translation losses related to the Company’s euro denominated liabilities.~~

The fiscal 2023 second quarter effective tax rate was 68.3% compared to -19.9% in the prior fiscal year second quarter. The full domestic valuation allowance, along with the mix of foreign earnings by jurisdiction, resulted in the increase to the effective tax rate.

~~Comparison of the First Half of Fiscal 2023 with the First Half of Fiscal 2022~~

Net sales for the first half increased 10.8%, or $11.6 million, to $119.3 million from $107.7 million in the same period a year ago. The Company experienced strong and improving demand through the first half as all markets have demonstrated recovery following the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in fiscal 2021, including demand for new transmissions in the North American oil and gasongoing market ~~demand, along with the ongoing demand for aftermarket support. The Company’s ability to ship product continues to be hampered by a variety of supply chain~~ challenges. These include supplier capacity constraints, extended supplier lead times and a global shortage of electronic components. Global sales of industrial products improved (5.1%) primarily due to a strong first quarter in North America, while shipments of marine and propulsion products improved by 5.9% and off-highway transmission shipments grew by 19.8% compared with the prior year first half. The North American region enjoyed the most significant sales improvement ($11.9 million or 32.5%) due to generally improving market conditions and increased new unit and aftermarket demand in the North American energy market. The European region saw a more modest increase ($0.9 million or 2.7%), with a more challenging economy and the negative impact of currency exchange. Sales into the Asia Pacific region decreased 0.8%, or $0.2 million, primarily due to a temporary pause in shipments of certain oil and gas related products into China offset by continued strong demand in Australia. Currency translation had an unfavorable impact on first half fiscal 2023 sales compared to the first half of the prior year totaling $9.9 million primarily due to the weakening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

Sales at our manufacturing segment increased 16.3%, or $14.8 million, versus the same period last year. The U.S. manufacturing operations experienced a 28.0%, or $13.1 million, increase in sales versus the first half of fiscal 2022, with recovering markets and growing North American demand in the energy market, partially offset by the continued supply chain challenges noted above. The Company’s operation in the Netherlands was up $0.8 million (3.9%) compared to the first half of fiscal 2022, primarily due to improving market demand and strong operational execution, partially offset by an unfavorable currency impact and supply chain limitations. The Company’s Belgian operation saw a slight decrease compared to the prior year first half (3.6% or $0.4 million), with improving demand offset by an unfavorable currency translation effect. The Company’s Italian manufacturing operations were up $1.1 million (9.2%) compared to the first half of fiscal 2022, with improving execution and easing supply chain interruptions. The Company’s Swiss manufacturing operation, which supplies customized propellers for the global mega yacht and patrol boat markets, was up $0.2 million (7.3%) compared to the prior year first half.

Our distribution segment experienced an increase in sales of $1.1 million (2.2%) in the first half of fiscal 2023 compared to the first half of fiscal 2022. The Company’s Asian distribution operations in Singapore, China and Japan were down 14.8% from the prior year primarily due to a temporary delay in shipments of certain oil and gas related products into China during the second fiscal quarter. The Company’s North America distribution operation saw a strong increase ($2.3 million or 24.7%) on stronger supply of product from the manufacturing operations, as all markets have seen improving demand. The Company’s European distribution operation saw a decrease (4.9%) resulting from lower factory shipments and the unfavorable impact of currency translation. The Company’s distribution operation in Australia, which provides boat accessories, propulsion and marine transmission systems for the pleasure craft market, saw continued growth (15.7% increase from the prior year first half), on the continued strengthening of pleasure craft marine market demand in the region.

The gross profit percentage for the first half of fiscal 2023 improved to 25.4%, compared to 25.0% for the same period last year. The prior year first half result reflects the benefit of an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”, part of various COVID-19 relief programs provided by the U.S. government) of $1.3 million recorded at the Company’s domestic operation, along with the benefit of a NOW subsidy (COVID-19 relief program in the Netherlands) of $0.7 million and the favorable impact of a correction to the Company’s warranty reserve ($0.5 million). Adjusting for these non-recurring items, the gross profit percent for the first half would have been 22.7%. The improvement over the prior year after adjusting for these items is primarily the result of additional volume ($2.9 million), a more favorable mix of product shipments ($2.0 million) and progress on margin improvement actions related to pricing and cost efficiencies ($1.0 million).

For the fiscal 2023 first half, marketing, engineering and administrative (“ME&A”) expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 26.0%, compared to 26.3% for the fiscal 2022 first half. ME&A expenses increased $2.7 million (9.5%) versus the same period last fiscal year. The increase in ME&A spending for the period was comprised of the incremental impact of prior year COVID subsidies ($1.5 million), increased professional fees ($0.8 million), salaries and benefits ($0.9 million) marketing activities ($0.3 million), spending on travel and entertainment ($0.4 million) and other inflationary impacts ($0.5 million). These increases were partially offset by a foreign currency translation impact of $1.7 million.

The Company incurred restructuring charges during the first half of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, primarily associated with ongoing cost reduction actions at its European operations and actions to adjust the cost structure at the Company’s domestic operation. The Company continues to focus on actively managing its cost structure and reducing fixed costs.

The Company recorded other operating income of $4.2 million in fiscal 2023 associated with the gain on the sale of the Company’s facility in Belgium. The building was sold for approximately $7.2 million.

Interest expense was ~~relatively flat at $1.2~~down slightly to $0.4 million in the first ~~half~~quarter of fiscal ~~2023,~~2024, with ~~a slightly higher rate partially offset by~~ a lower average outstanding revolver ~~balance.~~balance partially offset by a higher interest rate.

Other ~~expense~~income of ~~$1.0~~$0.1 million for the first ~~half of~~ fiscal ~~2023~~quarter was primarily attributable to ~~translation losses related to the Company’s euro denominated liabilities.~~a pension benefit partially offset by a small currency loss.

The fiscal ~~2023~~2024 first ~~half~~quarter effective tax rate was ~~175.9%~~(101.7)% compared to ~~-131.1%~~26.3% in the prior fiscal year first ~~half.~~quarter. The full domestic valuation allowance, along with the mix of foreign earnings by jurisdiction, resulted in the increase to the effective tax rate.

Comparison between ~~December 30, 2022~~September 29, 2023 and June 30, ~~2022~~2023

As of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, the Company had net working capital of ~~$124.0~~$117.0 million, which represents ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$0.6~~$2.6 million, or ~~0.5%~~2.2%, from the net working capital of ~~$123.4~~$119.6 million as of June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

Cash increased by ~~$1.0~~$7.2 million to ~~$13.5~~$20.4 million as of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, versus ~~$12.5~~$13.3 million as of June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. As of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, the majority of the cash is at the Company’s overseas operations in Europe ($4.2 million) and Asia-Pacific ($~~8.2~~16.0 million).

Trade receivables of ~~$39.4~~$39.8 million were down ~~$6.0~~$15.0 million, or ~~approximately 13.3%~~27.4%, when compared to last fiscal year-end. The impact of foreign currency translation was to ~~increase~~decrease accounts receivable by ~~$0.5~~$0.7 million versus June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. As a percent of sales, trade receivables finished at ~~62.2%~~62.6% in the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 compared to ~~55.1%~~71.6% for the comparable period in fiscal 2022 and ~~59.8%~~65.2% for the fourth quarter of fiscal ~~2022.~~2023.

Inventories ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$9.1~~$5.7 million, or ~~7.6%~~4.3%, versus June 30, ~~2022~~2023 to ~~$136.8~~$126.2 million. The impact of foreign currency translation was to ~~increase~~decrease inventories by ~~$1.5~~$2.4 million versus June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. The remaining ~~increase~~decrease was ~~seen primarily~~a function of the sale of the assets related to the Company’s boat management systems product line ($3.7 million) and a significant reduction at the Company’s Singapore distribution operation ($2.0 million) due to increased shipments of oil and gas transmissions into China. These decreases were partially offset by temporary increases at the Company’s operations in the Netherlands ~~($4.4 million)~~ and Singapore ($5.6 million). The Singapore increase was the result of a temporary delay in the shipment of certain oil and gas transmission products into China. The Netherlands increase was primarily driven by an imbalance in the supply chain, resulting in excess inventory waiting for missing components to finish assembly, or waiting for customers to accept shipment. There was an offsetting decrease at the North American operations ($3.0 million) resulting from increased focus on purchase quantities and timing of deliveries.Australia. On a consolidated basis, as of ~~December 30, 2022,~~September 29, 2023, the Company’s backlog of orders to be shipped over the next six months approximates ~~$124.0~~$122.5 million, compared to ~~$101.2~~$119.2 million at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~$98.9~~$108.9 million at ~~December 31, 2021.~~September 30, 2022. As a percentage of six-month backlog, inventory has decreased from ~~126%~~111% at June 30, ~~2022~~2023 to ~~110%~~103% at ~~December 30, 2022.~~September 29, 2023.

In the first fiscal quarter of 2023, the Company reclassified approximately $2.8 million of assets to Assets Held for Sale related to a building in Belgium that was then sold during the second fiscal quarter of 2023. The Company had capital spending of ~~$4.7~~$3.7 million in the ~~first half, as well as a favorable exchange impact ($0.2 million).~~quarter and new lease obligations of $0.6 million. These increases were ~~partially~~ offset by depreciation ~~of $2.9 million.~~($1.7 million) and an unfavorable exchange impact. Capital spending occurring in the first ~~half~~quarter was primarily related to replacement capital. In total, the Company expects to invest between $9 and $11 million in capital assets in fiscal ~~2023.~~2024. The Company continues to review its capital plans based on overall market conditions and availability of capital, and may make changes to its capital plans accordingly. The Company’s capital program is focused on modernizing key core manufacturing, assembly and testing processes and improving efficiencies at its facilities around the world.

Accounts payable as of ~~December 30, 2022~~September 29, 2023 of ~~$28.9~~$29.6 million was ~~up $0.4~~down $6.9 million, or ~~1.3%~~18.9%, from June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. The impact of foreign currency translation was to ~~increase~~reduce accounts payable by ~~$0.5~~$0.7 million versus June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

~~The Company's~~On June 29, 2018, ~~credit agreement~~the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the ~~"Credit Agreement"~~“Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. ~~("BMO"~~(“BMO”)~~, as amended through~~ that provided for the ~~Ninth Amendment dated June 30, 2022, remains in effect,~~assignment and ~~there have been no material changes in~~assumption of the ~~terms~~previously existing loans between the Company and Bank of Montreal (the “2016 Credit Agreement”) and subsequent amendments into a term loan (the “Term Loan”) and revolving credit loans (each a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans,” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, ~~since~~BMO agreed to make the ~~end~~Term Loan to the Company in a principal amount not to exceed $35.0 million and the Company may, from time to time prior to the maturity date, enter into Revolving Loans in amounts not to exceed, in the aggregate, $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”), subject to a Borrowing Base based on Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables. Subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement reduced the Term Loan to $20.0 million, extended the maturity date of the ~~Company's most recent~~Term Loan to March 4, 2026, and require the Company to make principal installment payments on the Term Loan of $0.5 million per quarter. In addition, under subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement, BMO’s Revolving Credit Commitment is currently $40.0 million. The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to obtain Letters of Credit from BMO, which if drawn upon by the beneficiary thereof and paid by BMO, would become Revolving Loans. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may not pay cash dividends on its common stock in excess of $3.0 million in any fiscal year. AsThe term of ~~December 30, 2022, the Company's borrowing capacity on~~ the Revolving Loans under the Credit ~~agreement was $39,476,000 and the Company had approximately $20,096,000 of available borrowings. In addition to~~Agreement currently runs through June 30, 2025.

Under the Credit Agreement as amended, interest rates are based on either the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”). Loans are designated either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin, or “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin. Amounts drawn on a Letter of Credit that are not timely reimbursed to the Bank bear interest at a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Company also pays a commitment fee on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment equal to an Applicable Margin. Currently, the Applicable Margins are between 1.25% and 2.75% for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit; 1.375% and 2.875% for Term Loans; and .10% and .15% for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio).

The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants. Specifically, the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio may not exceed 3.50 to 1.00, and the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. The Company’s Tangible Net Worth may not be less than $100 million plus 50% of positive Net Income for each fiscal year ending on or after June 30, 2023.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. The Company has ~~established unsecured lines~~also pledged 100% of ~~credit~~its equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries and 65% of its equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company also entered into a Collateral Assignment of Rights under Purchase Agreement for its acquisition of Veth Propulsion. To effect these security interests, the Company entered into various amendment and assignment agreements that ~~used from time~~consent to ~~time~~the assignment of certain agreements previously entered into between the Company and the Bank of Montreal in connection with the 2016 Credit Agreement. The Company also amended and assigned to ~~secure certain performance obligations~~BMO a Negative Pledge Agreement that it has previously entered into with Bank of Montreal, pursuant to which it agreed not to sell, lease or otherwise encumber real estate that it owns except as permitted by the ~~Company. As of December 30, 2022,~~Credit Agreement and the Company also had cash of $13.5 million, primarily at its overseas operations. These funds, with some restrictions and tax implications, are available for repatriation as deemed necessary by the Company.Negative Pledge Agreement.

The Company ~~expects capital expenditures~~has also entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with the Bank, reflecting the Bank’s security interest in deposit accounts the Company maintains with the Bank. The Bank may not provide a notice of exclusive control of a deposit account (thereby obtaining exclusive control of the account) prior to the occurrence or existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or otherwise upon the occurrence or existence of an event or condition that would, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, BMO may take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate its remaining obligations under the Credit Agreement; (2) declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be ~~approximately $9 - $11 million in fiscal 2023. These anticipated expenditures reflect the Company's plans to invest in modern equipment to drive efficiencies, quality improvements,~~immediately due and ~~cost reductions.~~
