Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends 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. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt the standard on the first day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year.

Note 4. Borrowings Under Revolving Credit Facility

 

On October 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries as co-borrowers, the Lender(s) party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”), as Administrative Agent, swingline lender and an issuing bank. Terms used, but not defined, in this and the following ten (10) paragraphs of this Note 4 have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement (as defined below) or the related Guaranty and Security Agreement, and the description refers to the Credit Agreement as in effect at fiscal quarter ended December 26, 2021 and without regard to subsequent events.Agreement. This facility replaced a previously existing credit facility among the Company and certain subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto (which included Wells) and Truist Bank (successor by merger to SunTrust Bank), as administrative agent. The discussion below is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Credit Agreement and related documents, including Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, and references below to the “Credit Agreement” include the Credit Agreement, together with such amendments, except in each case where otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

The Credit Agreement, as amended in Amendment No. 4 discussed below, now provides for a senior secured asset basedasset-based revolving credit facility of up to $75$105 million (the “2020“Revolving Credit Facility”) with a $10 million Availability Block that is in effect at all times, which effectively limits the maximum borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility”), whichFacility to $95 million. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 29, 2024. The 2020 Revolving Credit Facility2025 and includes a $5.0 million letter of credit sublimit and provides for the issuance of Swingline Loans.

Excess Availability for these purposes ofis determined without giving effect to the Credit Agreement.$10 million Availability Block.

The Company iswas previously required to pay a monthly Unused Line Fee on the average daily unused portion of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility at a per annum rate equal to 0.25%.

Pursuant to Amendment No. 14, the Company is now required to Credit Agreement dated July 12, 2021 ( “Amendment No. 1”), between Tessco and Wells, Wells agreedpay a monthly Unused Line Fee based on the average quarterly revolver usage, at a per annum rate equal to a 25 basis point reduction in certain otherwise applicable rates and fees over an agreed period, as set forth in the Amendment No. 1. Amendment No. 1 also included certain changes related to the transition away from the use of LIBOR as a rate option, and is expected to simplify day-to-day management0.25% of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility. On December 26, 2021, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the secured 2020unused Revolving Credit Facility was 2.10%if usage is greater than 50%, which includes the 25 basis point reduction included in the Amendment as discussed above.

Following an Event of Default, the Lenders’ may at their option increase the applicable per annum rate to a rate equal to 2 percentage points above the otherwise applicable rate and with certain events of default, such increase is automatic. In addition, the 25 basis point reduction, insofar as then otherwise available under Amendment No. 1, will terminate, and at the written election0.50% of the Agent or the Required Lenders at any time while an Event of Default exists, the Company will no longer have the option to request that revolving loans be based on the LIBOR Rate.unused Revolving Credit Facility if usage is less than 50%.

The Credit Agreement contains 1one financial covenant, a 1:1 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, which iswas historically only tested only if Excess Availability (generally, borrowing availability less the aggregate of trade payables and book overdrafts, each in excess of historical amounts), without giving effect to the $10 million Availability Block, is less than the greater of (a) 16.7%15% of the maximumMaximum Revolver Amount and (b) $15,750,000. Pursuant to Amendment No. 3, as discussed below, the Company was relieved of any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio testing through calendar year 2022, without regard to the amount of the Credit Facility (at closing, $12,525,000) and (b) $12,500,000.Excess Availability during that period. The covenant has been re-imposed pursuant to Amendment No. 4, however, but only if Excess Availability falls below that described above. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains provisions that could limit our ability to engage in specified transactions or activities, including (but not limited to) investments and acquisitions, sales of assets, payment of dividends, issuance of additional debt and other matters.

Borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility were initially used to pay all indebtedness outstanding under the previously existing credit facility among the Company and certain subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and Truist Bank (successor by merger to SunTrust Bank), as administrative agent, and may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and as further provided in, and subject to the applicable terms of, the Credit Agreement. As of December 26, 2021,25, 2022, borrowings under the secured 2020 Revolving Credit Facility totaled $38.3$61.6 million and, therefore, the Company had $36.7$33.4 million available for borrowing, as of December 26, 2021, subject to the Borrowing Base limitation and compliance with the other applicable terms referenced herein, and including the $10 million Availability Block discussed above. The Revolving Credit Facility has no lockbox arrangement associated with it and, therefore the outstanding balance is classified as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 25, 2022. Accordingly, borrowings from and repayments to the Company’s current line of credit are reflected on a gross basis in the cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company is required to make certain prepayments under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility under certain circumstances, including from net cash proceeds from certain asset dispositions in excess of certain thresholds.

Amendment No. 1

Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated July 12, 2021 (“Amendment No. 1”), for disclosurebetween Tessco and Wells, Wells agreed to a 25-basis point reduction in certain otherwise applicable rates and fees over an agreed period, and the Company and Wells agreed to, among others, certain changes related to the LIBOR rate option to simplify day-to-day management of the Revolving Credit Facility. These terms have since been further amendmentsamended and, pursuant to Amendment No. 4 (as defined below), these interest rate terms have been superseded, with the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin now as discussed above.

Amendment No. 2

In anticipation of TESSCO Reno Holding, LLC (“Reno Holding”) entering into the Real Estate Note of Reno Holding (the “Note”), as discussed further in Note 5, the Company, TESSCO Inc. and our other operating subsidiaries, and Wells, entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement and Consent dated December 29, 2021 (“Amendment No. 2”).

Table of Contents

under the Revolving Credit Facility from $75 million to $80 million. Among the terms and conditions, the Company agreed to revert to the interest rate margins originally provided for under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility (and which margins had previously been modified pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement), as well as change to the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin, as discussed above, and agreed to a $10 million Availability Block for calendar year 2022, but was relieved of any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio testing for the same period without regard to the amount of Excess Availability during that period. Amendment No. 3 further provided that a $15 million Excess Availability requirement would be imposed as of January 1, 2023, unless a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1:1 is achieved. The Company did not meet the Fixed Charge Covenant Ratio, and as a result, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility for the remainder of calendar 2022 (subject to Amendment No. 4, discussed below) was $70 million after accounting for the Availability Block and was scheduled to reduce to $65 million on January 1, 2023 upon the scheduled expiration of the Availability Block and re-imposition of the Excess Availability requirement, in each case subject to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with the other terms.

Amendment No. 4

On December 8, 2022, the Company and Wells entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”) under which the Commitment under the pre-existing Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $80 million to $105 million, among other things. Amendment No. 4 amended and restated the original Credit Agreement in its entirety. Availability is still determined in accordance with a Borrowing Base formula and, pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 4, the $10 million Availability Block has been continued beyond calendar year-end 2022, indefinitely. As a result, the outstanding balance cannot exceed $95 million at any time. The maturity date has been extended to April 29, 2025. As discussed above, the 1:1 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant was re-imposed and is now tested pursuant to Amendment No. 4, but only if Excess Availability falls below the threshold discussed above.  

In addition, Amendment No. 4 provided for a change from a LIBOR-based primary rate to one based on SOFR, as well as changes to the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin and the imposition of a $42 million Inventory Cap as a Borrowing Base component. Amendment No. 4 also changed the financial predicates for applicability of the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Cash Dominion Period, taking into consideration the increase in Commitment. In addition, the Company agreed that in no event will the mortgage on its Hunt Valley, Maryland property be released prior to December 26, 2021.31, 2023, and only if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio thereafter is at least 1.10 to 1.00 for six consecutive months and Excess Availability is at least $22.5 million for thirty consecutive days.

Note 5. Debt

On December 30, 2021, Reno Holding, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary and now owner of the Company’s approximately 115,000 square foot operating facility located in Reno, Nevada (the “Reno Facility”), borrowed an aggregate sum of $6.5 million from Symetra Life Insurance Company (“Symetra”). The indebtedness is evidenced by the Note that provides for monthly payments of $47,858 (including principal and interest), bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.38% per annum for the first 5 years, is subject to adjustment after 5 years and again after 10 years, and matures in approximately 15 years. The Note and related obligations are secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Deed of Trust”) on the Reno Facility. The net proceeds from this borrowing transaction (the “Symetra Loan”) have since been applied to repayment of a portion of the revolving balance under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. An additional $250,000 is to be advanced under the Symetra Loan after roof and possible related repairs to the Reno Facility are satisfactorily completed. The Symetra Loan is limited recourse to the Reno Facility, with typical exceptions

Note 5.6. Earnings Per Share

The Company presents the computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) on a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common shares are excluded from the calculation if they are determined to be anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS was equal to basic EPS for the nine-month period ended December 26, 2021 because the Company operated at a loss. The number of diluted weighted-average common shares would have been 8,964,892was 9,217,148 for the three months ended December 25, 2022, and 9,187,995 for the nine months ended December 26, 2021, if the Company was in a positive earning position.25, 2022. At December 26, 2021,25, 2022, stock options with respect to 975,458659,500 shares of common stock were outstanding, of which 850,458564,500 were anti-dilutive and not included in diluted EPS because the stock options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. There were 0no anti-dilutive PSUsperformance stock units (“PSUs”) or RSUs restricted stock units (RSUs”) outstanding as of December 26, 2021.25, 2022.

Note 6.7. Business Segments

After exiting its Retail business, the Company operates as 1 business segment. The Company will continue to present revenuehas two reportable segments, Carrier and gross profitCommercial, which are identified based on the information reviewed by the following customer markets: (1) public carriers, whichChief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and are consistent with how the business is managed. Carrier is generally responsible for buildingcomprised of customers who build and maintainingmaintain the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers; and (2) commercial, formerly value-added resellers and integrators, whichsubscribers, whereas Commercial includes value-added resellers, the government channel and private system operator markets. Ventev®, the Company’s proprietary brand that manufactures products, is primarily included in the Commercial segment.There is a mix of products that the Company sells that are marketed to both segments, as well as certain product classes that primarily serve one segment. As a value-add distributor of products from over 300 manufacturers, the Company sells products across a large number of product groups and industries and, as a result, it is impracticable to provide segment information at the product group level. Inventory typically has a life cycle that tends to be tied to changes in regulation or technology and includes products typically used by business entities or governments.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

Symetra Loan and Credit Agreement Amendment No. 2

On December 30, 2021, TESSCO Reno Holding LLC (“Holding”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary and now owner of the Company‘s approximately 115,000 square foot operating facility located in Reno, Nevada (the “Reno Facility”), borrowed an aggregate sum of $6.5 million from Symetra Life Insurance Company (“Symetra”), The indebtedness is evidenced by a Real Estate Note of Holding (the “ Note”) that provides for monthly payments of $47,857.78, bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.38% per annum for the first 5 years, is subject to adjustment after 5 years and again after 10 years, and matures in approximately 15 years. The Note and related obligations are secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Deed of Trust”) on the Reno Facility. The net proceeds from this borrowing transaction (the “Symetra Loan”) have since been applied to repayment of a portion of the revolving balance under the Company’s 2020 Revolving Credit Facility. An additional $250,000 is to be advanced under the Symetra Loan after roof and possible related repairs to the Reno Facility are satisfactorily completed. The Symetra Loan is limited recourse to the Reno Facility, with typical exceptions in which case it is recourse to Holding, a special purpose entity formed by the Company to own the Reno Facility and related assets.

In anticipation of the Symetra Loan, the Company, TESSCO Inc. and our other operating subsidiaries, and Wells, entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement and Consent dated December 29, 2021 (“Amendment No. 2”), which amended the Credit Agreement discussed in Note 4 above. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, and subject to its terms and conditions, among other things, Wells consented to the Symetra Loan, without requiring that Holding become a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement.

Through the Symetra Loan, the Company was able to fix a portion of its outstanding indebtedness at a market interest rate, and reduce the outstanding balance under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility, without reducing the overall commitment under the 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement. As a result, and without regard to other factors, liquidity was effectively increased.

Credit Agreement Amendment No. 3

On January 5, 2022, at the Company’s request, the Company and its operating subsidiaries, and Wells, entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to Guaranty and Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”), subject to the terms and conditions of which Wells agreed to increase the Commitment under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility from $75 million to $80 million. Among the terms and conditions, the Company agreed to revert to the interest rate margins originally provided for under the terms of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility (and which had previously been modified pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement), as well as change to the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin, and agreed to a $10 million Availability Block for a one year period, but was relieved of any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio testing for the same one year period without regard to the amount of Excess Availability during that period. Following this one year period, a $15 million Excess Availability requirement will be imposed unless a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1:1 is achieved. As a result, and assuming the Company is otherwise in compliance with the terms of the 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, and has sufficient Borrowing Base assets, the amount available for borrowing under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility, without having to meet any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, is increased from approximately $62.5 million to $70 million for calendar year 2022.

Table of Contents

Amendment No. 3 also contemplates a pledge within sixty (60) days by Tessco Inc. to Wells of the 184,000 square foot Hunt Valley, Maryland Global Logistics Center (the “GLC”), pursuant to a mortgage in form and substance satisfactory to Wells, to be delivered by TESSCO Inc. as additional collateral for the Obligations under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility. The terms of Amendment No. 3 provide for release of the mortgage upon achievement by the Company of certain financial metrics, including a 1:1 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for at least six consecutive months and a minimum Excess Availability of $17.5 million, and the absence of any Default or Event of Default. The Company had previously agreed not to pledge or encumber the GLC without the consent of Wells. Capitalized terms used in this and the immediately preceding paragraph have the meanings ascribed to them under the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, including pursuant to Amendment No. 3.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This commentary should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations fromincluded in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2021,27, 2022, filed with the SEC on June 11, 2021.May 26, 2022.

Business Overview and Environment

TESSCO architects and delivers innovative product and value chain solutions to support wireless systems. Although we sell products to customers in many countries, approximately 97%98% of our sales are made to customers in the United States. We have operations and office facilities in Hunt Valley, Maryland, and Reno, Nevada.

On December 2, 2020, we sold most of our Retail inventory and certain other retail-related assets to Voice Comm. In connection with this sale, we assigned or licensed certain Ventev®- related intellectual property to Voice Comm including our Ventev® trademark for their use in connection withand exited the sale of mobile device and accessory products. Together, this resulted in our exit from the Retailretail business. Cash proceeds of $9.5 million were received at the time of sale. As part of the sale agreement, we are entitled to royalty payments, up to $3.0 million in the aggregate, on the sale of Ventev® branded products by Voice Comm over a four-year period after closing. As a result of the disposal, the operating results of our former Retail segment have beenwere included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for all periods presented.  We retainfiscal year 2022. The activity related to discontinued operations for fiscal year 2023 has been immaterial and, continue to utilize the Ventev® tradename for non-mobile device accessory products.

As a result of this sale and our exittherefore, is included within results from the Retail business during the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we now operate as one business segment.continuing operations

We now operate as two reportable segments: Carrier and Commercial, for which we provide certain information within two key markets: (1) public carriers, which areinformation. Carrier is generally responsible for buildingcomprised of customers who build and maintainingmaintain the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers; and (2) commercial, whichsubscribers, whereas Commercial includes value-added resellers, the government channel, and private system operator markets.

We offer a wide range of products that are classified into three categories: base station infrastructure; network systems; and installation, test, and maintenance. Base station infrastructure products are used to build, repair, and upgrade wireless telecommunications.telecommunication networks. Sales of traditional base station infrastructure products, such as base station radios, cable and transmission lines, and antennas are in part dependent on capital spending in the wireless communications industry. Network systems products are used to build and upgrade computing and internet networks. In this category, we have also been growingexpanding our offeringofferings of wireless broadband, network equipment, security and surveillance products, which are not as dependent on the overall capital spending of the industry. Installation, test, and maintenance products are used to install, tune, and maintain wireless communications equipment. This category is made up of sophisticated analysis equipment and various frequency-, voltage- and power-measuring devices, replacement parts and components as well as an assortment of tools, hardware and supplies required by service technicians. Inventory typically has a life cycle that tends to be tied to changes in regulation or technology and includes products typically used by business entities or governments.

The wireless communications distribution industry is competitive and fragmented, and is comprised of several national distributors. In addition, many manufacturers sell direct.direct to end-user customers. Barriers to entry for distributors are relatively low, and the risk of new competitors entering the market is high. Consolidation of larger wireless carriers has and will most likely continue to impact our current and potential customer base. In addition, the agreements or arrangements with our customers or suppliers looking to us for product and supply chain solutions are typically

of limited duration and are terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise short notice. Our ability to maintain these relationships is subject to competitive pressures and challenges and depends upon a number of factors that often differ for each relationship. We have been affected from time to time in the past by the loss and changes in the business habits of significant customers and suppliers and expect that we will again be so affected from time to time in the future. Our customer and supplier relationships could also be affected by the overall global economic environment or other events beyond our control, including the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe, however, that our strength in service, the breadth and depth of our product offering, our information technology system,offerings, our large customer base, and our purchasing relationships with approximately 300 manufacturers provide us with a significant competitive advantage over new entrants to the market.

Total Gross Profit. Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 20222023 increased by 13.3%20.7% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021.2022. This increase was primarily due to increased revenues, a more favorable customer and product mix, and increased freight charged to customers. Overall gross profit margin increased from 17.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 to 19.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.  Gross profit margin in our public carrier market increased2022 to 12.6% from 11.1% in the same quarter last year.

Gross profit margin in our Commercial segment increased to 26.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 from 22.3%23.9% in the same quarter last year. The gross margin improvements in the public carrier market are primarily related to changes in customer and product mix. The gross margin increase in the commercial market is primarily attributable to product and customer mix, including higher sales of our higher margin Ventev® products. Gross profit margin in our Carrier segment increased to 13.1% from 12.6% in the same quarter last year. This improvement is primarily related to changes in customer and product mix. Gross margins in both marketssegments were positively impacted by higher freight charged to customers in response to and to partially offset increased freight costs incurred, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreasedincreased by 17.8%17.1% or $4.2$3.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022,2023, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021.2022.

The decreaseincrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decreasean increase of $3.4$2.2 million in corporate support expensescompensation and a decreasebenefits and an increase of $1.2$0.7 million in performancefreight out. The compensation expense.and benefits increase is primarily attributable to a $1.1 million increase in rewards expense (reflecting favorable bonus accrual adjustments in the prior year quarter as compared to continuing bonus expense accruals in the current year quarter), a $0.8 million increase in base compensation related to our business generation and information technologies team, and $0.5 million increase in variable compensation due to improved overall results. The corporate support expenses decreaseincrease in freight out is attributable to one-time non-recurringhigher revenues and increased freight carrier costs incurred inas a result of inflationary impacts.

Interest, Net. Net interest expense increased from $131,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 20212022 to $516,400 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. This increase is due to both significantly higher interest rates and an increase in response to a consent solicitation initiated by a shareholder group inthe average amount outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility during the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

These decreases were partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in freight costs during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The increase in freight costs is primarily attributable to higher third-party costs due to macroeconomic factors, including inflation.

We continually evaluate the credit worthiness of our existing customer receivable portfolio and provide an appropriate reserve based on this evaluation. We also evaluate the credit worthiness of prospective and current customers and make decisions regarding extension of credit terms to such customers based on this evaluation. We had bad debt recovery, net of expense of $103,200 and $780,600, for the nine months ended December 26, 2021 and December 27, 2020, respectively.

An2022 to $1.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. This increase is due to both significantly higher interest rates and an increase in the average amount outstanding onunder our 2020 Revolving Credit Facility and higherduring the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2022. In addition, capitalized interest rates resulted in increased interest expensefrom $0.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022.

Net cash used in operating activities was $9.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared with net cash provided by operating activities wasof $0.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with net2022. Net cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2023 was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $0.4$3.9 million and an increase in inventory of $14.9 million, offset by a decrease in income taxes receivable of $3.7 million and an increase in accounts payable of $3.9 million. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to higher sales volume in fiscal year 2023. The increase in inventory is primarily attributable to improvements in the supply chain and the resulting higher availability of some products, at the same time that the constrained availability of other products prevented the Company from shipping completed orders to customers. The decrease in income taxes receivable was primarily attributable to the Company receiving federal tax refunds in fiscal year 2023 associated with the CARES Act net operating loss carrybacks for prior tax years. Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2022 was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.7 million, a decrease in inventory of $2.7 million and a decrease in income taxes receivable of $3.1 million, partially offset by the net loss of $1.1 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $6.1 million. The fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable were normal in the ordinary course of business, due to timing changes in working capital balances, while the income tax receivable was attributable to receipt of federal tax refunds from prior tax years.

Net cash used in investing activities was $13.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The fiscal 2022 inflow was due to the decrease in inventory, accounts receivable, and income taxes receivable, partially offset by the net loss during the period and a decrease in accounts payable.  

Net cash used in investing activities was $8.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022,2023, compared to net cash providedused by investing activities of $0.1$8.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.2022. Fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 cash outflow is primarily attributable to the Company’s investments in information technology. Fiscal 2021 cash inflow was attributable to the Company’s sale of its Retail business totaling $9.2 million, offset by investments in information technology of $9.1 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $24.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $7.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 comparedcash inflow is primarily attributable to net cash provided by financing activitiesthe Company’s utilization of $0.4 million forborrowings under the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Utilization of our asset-based secured 2020 Revolving Credit Facility during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 resulted in a cash inflow of $7.7 million during this period. Utilization of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility and our prior asset-based facility resulted in a cash inflow of $0.4 million during the nine months of fiscal 2021.

On October 29, 2020, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries as co-borrowers, the Lender(s) party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”), as Administrative Agent, swingline lender and an issuing bank, and terminated our previous secured Revolving Credit Facility. This Credit Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety on December 8, 2022, pursuant to Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement, discussed below (the Credit Agreement, as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”). Terms used, but not defined, in this paragraph have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement or the related Guaranty and Security Agreement, and the description below refers to the Credit Agreement as in effect at fiscal quarter ended December 26, 202125, 2022 and without regard to subsequent events.

The Credit Agreement now provides for a senior secured assetasset- based revolving credit facility of up to $75$105 million (the “2020 Revolving“Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures in forty-two months, on April 29, 2024. This facility replaced2025. There is a previously existing facility.$10 million Availability Block in effect at all times, which effectively limits our borrowing capacity to a maximum amount of $95 million, further subject to Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with other terms. As of December 26, 2021,25, 2022, borrowings under the secured 2020 Revolving Credit Facility totaled $38.3$61.6 million; therefore, we then had $36.7$33.4 million available, subject to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with the other applicable terms of the Credit Agreement, including the financial and other covenants discussed or referred to in Note 4 to our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.10-Q (“Note 4”). We do not now, nor do we expect in the near future to, meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (a covenant triggered if Excess Availability (without giving effect to the Availability Block) is less than the greater of (a) 15% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and (b) $15,750,000) and, therefore our current availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to $89.3 million, subject also to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with other terms. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the rates as discussed in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.4.

We believe that our existing cash, payments from customers and current and anticipated future availability under the secured 2020 Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our operations for at least the next twelve months.

To minimize interest expense, our policy is to apply excess available cash to reduce the balance outstanding from time to time on our secured 2020 Revolving Credit Facility.  Our increased focus over the past several years on business

opportunities for sales to our public carrierCarrier customers and IT projects led to the recent expansion of our borrowing limits, as now reflected inby the 2020 securedterms of the Revolving Credit Facility, and has at times resulted in increased borrowings and dependence on that facility. If we were to undertake an acquisition or other major capital purchases that require funds in excess of existing sources of liquidity, we would look to sources of funding from additional credit facilities, debt and/or equity issuances. As of December 26, 2021,25, 2022, we do not have any material capital expenditure commitments.

In addition, our liquidity could be negatively impacted by decreasing revenues and profits resulting from a decrease in demand for our products or a reduction in capital expenditures by our customers, or by the weakened financial conditions of our customers or suppliers, in each case as a result of a downturn in the global economy, among other factors.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls

and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the period covered by this quarterly report, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company launched a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which replaces certain of our existing operating and financial systems. The new ERP system is designed to accurately maintain our financial records, enhance operational functionality and efficiency, and provide timely information to the Company’s management team related to the operation of the business. As updated processes are rolled out in connection with the ERP implementation, we will give appropriate consideration to whether these process changes necessitate changes in the design of and testing for effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
