NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description:

Kimball Electronics, Inc. (also referred to herein as “Kimball Electronics,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a global, multifaceted manufacturing solutions provider. We provide contract electronics manufacturing services (“EMS”) and diversified manufacturing services, including engineering and supply chain support, to customers in the automotive, medical, ~~industrial,~~ and ~~public~~industrial safety end markets. We ~~offer~~deliver a package of value that begins with our core competency of producing durable electronics and ~~includes our set of~~has expanded into diversified contract manufacturing services for non-electronic components, medical disposables, precision molded plastics, and production automation, test, and inspection equipment. Our design and manufacturing expertise coupled with robust processes and procedures ~~that~~ help us ensure that we deliver the highest levels of quality, reliability, and service throughout the entire life cycle of our customers’ products. We ~~further offer diversified contract manufacturing services for non-electronic components, medical devices, medical disposables, precision molded plastics,~~deliver award-winning service across our highly integrated global footprint, which is enabled by our largely common operating system, procedures, and ~~production automation, test, and inspection equipment.~~standardization. We are ~~consistently~~well recognized by customers and industry trade publications for our excellent quality, reliability, and innovative service.

Basis of Presentation:

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein reflect the consolidated financial position as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, results of operations for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, cash flows for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, and share owners’ equity for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021. The financial data presented herein is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the annual Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow within the Cash Flows from Operating Activities section. Deferred tax valuation allowance is now included with Deferred income taxes while the other deferred charges have been reclassified to Other, net.

Change in Estimates:

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its fixed assets on an ongoing basis. In evaluating useful lives, the Company considers how long assets will remain functionally efficient and effective, given levels of technology, competitive factors, and the economic environment. If the assessment indicates that the assets will continue to be used for a longer period than previously anticipated, the useful life of the assets is revised, resulting in a change in estimate. Changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis by depreciating the assets’ current carrying values over their revised remaining useful lives.

~~The most recent~~In fiscal year 2022, a review indicated that Surface Mount Technology production equipment had actual lives that were longer than previously estimated. As a result of these findings, the Company changed its estimates of useful lives on these assets to 10 years, from lives of 5 or 7 years. The change was effective and accounted for prospectively beginning on November 1, 2021. The effects of this change in useful life estimate for the three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 were a decrease in depreciation expense of ~~$2.4~~$0.6 million, an increase in net income of ~~$1.9~~$0.4 million, and an increase to basic and diluted earnings per share by ~~$0.07.~~$0.02. The effects of this change in useful life estimate for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 were a decrease in depreciation expense of ~~$4.1~~$2.6 million, an increase in net income of ~~$3.2~~$2.0 million, and an increase to basic and diluted earnings per share by ~~$0.13.~~$0.08.

Revenue Recognition:

Our revenue from contracts with customers is generated primarily from manufacturing services provided for the production of electronic assemblies, components, medical devices, medical disposables, precision molded plastics, and automation, test, and inspection equipment built to ~~customer’s~~customers’ specifications. Our customer agreements are generally not for a definitive term but continue for the relevant product’s life cycle. Typically, our customer agreements do not commit the customer to purchase our services until a purchase order is provided, which is generally short term in nature. Customer purchase orders primarily have a single

performance obligation. Generally, the prices stated in the customer purchase orders are agreed upon prices for the

manufactured product and do not vary over the term of the order, and therefore, the majority of our contracts do not contain variable consideration. In limited circumstances, we may enter into a contract which contains minimum quantity thresholds to cover our capital costs, and we may offer our customer a rebate for specific volume thresholds or other incentives; in these cases, the rebates or incentives are accounted for as variable consideration.

The majority of our revenue is recognized over time as manufacturing services are performed as we manufacture a product to customer specifications with no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The remaining revenue for manufacturing services is recognized when the customer obtains control of the product, typically either upon shipment or delivery of the product dependent on the terms of the contract, and the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. We generally recognize revenue over time using costs based input methods, in which judgment is required to evaluate assumptions including anticipated margins to estimate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. Costs used as a basis for estimating anticipated margins include material, direct and indirect labor, and appropriate applied overheads. Anticipated margins are determined based on historical or quoted customer pricing. Costs based input methods are considered a faithful depiction of our efforts and progress toward satisfying our performance obligations for manufacturing services and for which we believe we are entitled to payment for performance completed to date. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimates related to net contract revenues or costs are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated services and products. Accordingly, we record customer payments of shipping and handling costs as a component of net sales and classify such costs as a component of cost of sales. We recognize sales net of applicable sales or value add taxes. Based on estimated product returns and price concessions, a reserve for returns and allowances is recorded at the time revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of net revenue.

Direct incremental costs to obtain and fulfill a contract are capitalized as a contract asset only if they are material, expected to be recovered, and are not accounted for in accordance with other guidance. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense in the period incurred.

Trade Accounts Receivable:

The Company’s trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. Our policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to estimate expected credit losses. Management believes that historical loss information generally provides a basis for its assessment of expected credit losses. Trade accounts receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

In the ordinary course of business, customers periodically negotiate extended payment terms on trade accounts receivable. Customary terms require payment within 30 to 45 days, with any terms beyond 45 days being considered extended payment terms. We utilize factoring arrangements for certain of our accounts receivables with third-party financial institutions in order to extend terms for the customer without negatively impacting our cash flow. These arrangements in all cases do not contain recourse provisions which would obligate us in the event of our customers’ failure to pay. Receivables are considered sold when they are transferred beyond the reach of Kimball Electronics and its creditors, the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and we have surrendered control over the transferred receivables. In the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, we sold, without recourse, ~~$201.5~~$225.1 million and ~~$246.3~~$125.3 million of accounts receivable, respectively. Factoring fees were ~~$0.4~~$1.5 million and ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million for the three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~respectively,~~ and ~~$0.9~~$2.4 million and ~~$1.0~~$0.5 million during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Factoring fees are recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

One of our China operations, in limited circumstances, may receive banker’s acceptance drafts from customers as payment on account. The banker’s acceptance drafts are non-interest bearing and primarily mature within six months from the origination date. The Company has the ability to sell the drafts at a discount or transfer the drafts in settlement of current accounts payable prior to the scheduled maturity date. We did not hold any drafts at March 31, 2022, and the drafts totaled less than $0.1 million at June 30, 2021. These drafts were reflected in Receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until the banker’s drafts were sold at a discount, transferred in settlement of current accounts payable, or cash was received at maturity. Banker’s acceptance drafts sold at a discount or transferred in settlement of current accounts payable during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were less than $0.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, goodwill is assessed or tested at the reporting unit level. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is written down to its estimated fair value. Other Intangible Assets consist of capitalized software, customer relationships, technology, and trade name, and are reviewed for impairment, and their remaining useful lives evaluated for revision, when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, the Company determined there have been no indicators of impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets. See Note 1211 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial statements for more information on Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

Leases:

The Company leases certain office, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities under operating leases, in addition to land on which certain office and manufacturing facilities resides. Operating lease costs and cash payments for operating leases are immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities each totaled ~~$3.4~~$2.6 million at ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and ~~$1.6~~$3.1 million at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022, respectively. Lease right-of-use assets are included in Other Assets and lease liabilities are included in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other General Income:

Other General Income in the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2022 and~~ 2021 included $1.4 million ~~and $0.7 million, respectively,~~ of pre-tax income resulting from payments received related to class action lawsuits in which Kimball Electronics was a class member. These lawsuits alleged that certain suppliers to the EMS industry conspired over a number of years to raise and fix the prices of electronic components, resulting in overcharges to purchasers of those components. No Other General Income was recorded in three and six months ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2022, and $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021.~~2022.

Non-operating Income (Expense), net:

Non-operating income (expense), net includes the impact of such items as foreign currency rate movements and related derivative gain or loss, fair value adjustments on supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) investments, amortization of actuarial gains (losses), and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. The gain (loss) on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in Selling and Administrative Expenses.

Income Taxes:

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and available tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Unusual or infrequently occurring items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities, recorded in Other Assets and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we provide a valuation allowance based on our best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management’s assessment.

We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex uncertain tax positions, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We maintain a liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions. As tax positions are effectively settled, the tax liability is adjusted accordingly. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision for Income Taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was enacted into law on December 22, 2017, making broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, for which complete guidance may have not yet been issued. Tax Reform, in addition to other changes, required a one-time transition tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries that is payable over an eight-year period. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the remaining provision recorded for the one-time deemed repatriation tax was ~~$8.9~~$7.8 million and ~~$9.8~~$8.9 million, respectively, payable through fiscal year 2026, with the long-term portion recorded in Long-term income taxes payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, ~~$1.1~~$1.9 million of the remaining deemed repatriation tax is short term and is recorded in Accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

~~New Accounting Standards:~~

~~Adopted in fiscal year 2022:~~

In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance on Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, intended to simplify various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. We adopted this standard effective July 1, 2021, the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal year 2022, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Our revenue from contracts with customers is generated primarily from manufacturing services provided for the production of electronic assemblies, electronic and non-electronic components, medical devices, medical disposables, precision molded plastics, and automation, test, and inspection equipment in automotive, medical, ~~industrial,~~ and ~~public safety~~industrial applications, to the specifications and designs of our customers. Beginning in fiscal year 2023, the Company changed its presentation of revenue for the industrial and public safety end market verticals by combining them into the industrial end market vertical. Prior year periods have been recast to conform to the current year presentation.

The following table disaggregates our revenue by end market vertical for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021.


		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended					Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
		March 31				March 31					December 31				December 31

For ~~both~~ the three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately 97% and 95% of our net sales, respectively, were recognized over time as manufacturing services were performed under a customer contract on a product with no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately ~~95%~~96% and ~~89%~~95% of our net sales, respectively, were recognized over time. The remaining sales revenues were recognized at a point in time when the customer obtained control of the products.

The timing differences of revenue recognition, billings to our customers, and cash collections from our customers result in billed accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable. Contract assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets relate to unbilled accounts receivable and occur when revenue is recognized over time as manufacturing services are provided and the billing to the customer has not yet occurred as of the balance sheet date, which are generally transferred to receivables in the next fiscal quarter due to the short-term nature of the manufacturing cycle. Contract assets were ~~$63.8~~$74.9 million and ~~$45.9~~$64.1 million as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

~~In limited circumstances, the~~The Company may receive payments from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations primarily for ~~tooling,~~ material price variances, tooling, or other miscellaneous services or costs. These advance payments are recognized as contract liabilities until the performance obligations are completed and are included in Accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which amounted to ~~$17.2~~$33.4 million and ~~$7.6~~$22.5 million as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. Our performance obligations are short term in nature and therefore our contract liabilities are all expected to be settled within twelve months.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company typically provides only assurance-type warranties for a limited time period, which cover workmanship and assures the product complies with specifications provided by or agreed upon with the customer. We maintain a provision for limited warranty repair or replacement of products manufactured and sold, which has been established in specific manufacturing contract agreements. We estimate product warranty liability at the time of sale based on historical repair or replacement cost trends in conjunction with the length of the warranty offered. Management refines the warranty liability ~~periodically~~regularly based on changes in historical cost trends and in certain cases where specific warranty issues become known. Product warranty liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in the product warranty liability for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:


		Nine Months Ended					Six Months Ended

(1) The Company maintains a U.S. primary credit facility (the “primary credit facility”) among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, ~~National Association,~~N. A., as Administrative Agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as Documentation Agent, scheduled to mature ~~July 27, 2023.~~May 4, 2027. The primary credit facility provides for ~~$150~~$300 million in borrowings, with an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to ~~$225~~$450 million upon request, subject to the consent of each lender participating in such increase. This facility is maintained for working capital and general corporate purposes of the ~~Company including capital expenditures and potential acquisitions.~~Company. A commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the credit facility at a rate that ranges from ~~20.0~~10.0 to 25.0 basis points per annum as determined by the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the primary credit facility. Types of borrowings available on the primary credit facility include revolving loans, multi-currency term loans, and swingline loans.

On November 8, 2021, the primary facility was amended to provide, among other things, (1) the interest rate calculation method will generally transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) on the transition date of December 31, 2021 on applicable borrowings; (2) the Eurocurrency borrowings are replaced with Term Benchmark borrowings; (3) if any Term Benchmark borrowing is denominated Euros, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) shall be utilized; and (4) all ABR borrowings will be denominated in U.S. Dollars.

The interest rate on borrowings is dependent on the type and currencies of borrowings and will be one of the following options:

•~~prior to the transition date of December 31, 2021,~~ any Term Benchmark borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars will utilize ~~LIBOR in effect two business days prior to~~ the advance (adjusted upwards to reflect bank reserve costs) for such interest period as defined in the agreement, plus the Term Benchmark Loans spread which can range from 125.0 to 175.0 basis points based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA;

•~~after the transition date of December 31, 2021, any existing or future Term Benchmark borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars will utilize SOFR~~Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate for such business day published by the SOFR Administrator, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, on the immediately succeeding business day, plus the Revolving Commitment Term Benchmark ~~Loans~~ spread which can range from ~~125.0~~100.0 to 175.0 basis points based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA;

•any Term Benchmark borrowing denominated in Euros will utilize the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) in effect two ~~business~~target days prior to the advance (adjusted upwards to reflect bank reserve costs) for such interest period as defined in the agreement, plus the Revolving Commitment Term Benchmark ~~Loans~~ spread which can range from ~~125.0~~100.0 to 175.0 basis points based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA; or

•the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), which is defined as the highest of the fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of

a.~~JPMorgan’s~~Prime Rate in the U.S. last quoted by the Wall Street Journal, and if this is ceased to be quoted, the highest bank prime ~~rate;~~loan rate or similar loan rate quoted by the Federal Reserve Board;

b.~~1% per annum above the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined under the primary credit facility); or~~

c.1/2 of 1% per annum above the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined under the primary credit facility); or

c.1% per annum above the Adjusted SOFR Rate (as defined under the primary credit facility);

plus the Revolving Commitment ABR ~~Loans~~ spread which can range from ~~25.0~~0.0 to 75.0 basis points based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.

The Company’s financial covenants under the primary credit facility require:

•a ratio of consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash on hand in the United States in excess of $15 million to adjusted consolidated EBITDA, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, to not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0, provided, however, that for each fiscal quarter end during the four quarter period following a material permitted acquisition, as defined in the Credit Agreement, the Company will not permit this financial covenant to be greater than 3.5 to 1.0 for each such fiscal quarter end, and,

•~~a fixed charge~~an interest coverage ratio, ~~determined~~defined as that ratio of ~~the end~~consolidated EBITDA for such period to cash interest expense for such period, for any period of ~~each of its fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended~~ four consecutive fiscal quarters, to ~~not~~ be less than ~~1.1~~3.5 to 1.0.

The Company had $0.4 million in letters of credit contingently committed against the credit facility at both ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~Subsequent to March 31, 2022,~~(2) During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company ~~amended and restated this primary~~expanded the borrowing capacity of the Thailand credit facility ~~on May 4, 2022. See~~ ~~Note 15 - Subsequent Event~~ ~~of Notes~~ to ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the amended and restated primary facility.~~$10.1 million.

~~(2)~~(3) The Company entered into a foreign credit ~~agreement on March 16, 2022 (the “secondary credit facility”),~~facility for its EMS operation in China during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 which allows for borrowings up to ~~$20~~$7.5 million. ~~This secondary credit~~The facility ~~was established for working capital purposes and had a maturity date of the earlier of~~is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2022 or the date upon which the primary credit facility was refinanced. As noted above, the primary credit facility was amended and restated on May 4, 2022, and the secondary credit facility was terminated on the same date.2023.

~~(3)~~(4) The amount of Long-term debt under credit facilities, less current maturities reflects the borrowings on the primary credit facility that the Company intends, and has the ability, to refinance for a period longer than twelve months. The primary credit facility matures on ~~July 27, 2023.~~May 4, 2027.

The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the credit facilities at ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~2.3%~~5.9% and ~~2.0%~~2.7%, respectively.

Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company entered into a 364-day multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “secondary credit facility”) on February 3, 2023, which allows for borrowings up to $50.0 million, with a maturity date of February 2, 2024. See Note 1 4 - Subsequent Event of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the secondary credit facility. Also subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company entered into a foreign credit facility for its operation in Poland which allows for borrowings up to 5.0 million Euro (approximately $5.4 million equivalent).

Note 7. Fair Value

The Company categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

There were no changes in the inputs or valuation techniques used to measure fair values during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022. For more information on inputs and fair valuation techniques used, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~

2022.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements:

As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the market approach are categorized as follows:

We had no level 3 assets or liabilities at ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021.~~2022, or any activity in Level 3 assets or liabilities during the six months ended December 31, 2022.

The nonqualified supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) assets consist primarily of equity funds, balanced funds, bond funds, and a money market fund. The SERP investment assets are offset by a SERP liability which represents the Company’s obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. See Note 9 - ~~Investments~~Employee Benefit Plans of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.

Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value:

Financial instruments that are not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that have carrying amounts which approximate fair value include notes receivable and borrowings under credit facilities. There were no changes to the inputs and valuation techniques used to assess the fair value of these financial instruments during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022. For more information on inputs and fair valuation techniques used, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

The carrying values of our cash deposit accounts, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable approximate fair value due to the relatively short maturity and immaterial non-performance risk.

Note 8. Derivative Instruments

Foreign Exchange Contracts:

We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of business. Our primary means of managing this exposure is to utilize natural hedges, such as aligning currencies used in the supply chain with the sale currency. To the extent natural hedging techniques do not fully offset currency risk, we use derivative instruments with the objective of reducing the residual exposure to certain foreign currency rate movements. Factors considered in the decision to hedge an underlying market exposure include the materiality of the risk, the volatility of the market, the duration of the hedge, the degree to which the underlying exposure is committed to, and the availability, effectiveness, and cost of derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are only utilized for risk management purposes and are not used for speculative or trading purposes.

We use forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency. ~~Foreign~~Non-designated foreign exchange contracts are also used to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks related to intercompany balances and other balance sheet positions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts to hedge currencies against the U.S. dollar in the aggregate notional amount of ~~$39.2~~$21.4 million and to hedge currencies against the Euro in the aggregate notional amount of ~~41.1~~61.0 million Euro. The notional amounts are indicators of the volume of derivative activities but may not be indicators of the potential gain or loss on the derivatives.

In limited cases due to unexpected changes in forecasted transactions, cash flow hedges may cease to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedges. Depending on the type of exposure hedged, we may either purchase a derivative contract in the opposite position of the undesignated hedge or may retain the hedge until it matures if the hedge continues to provide an adequate offset in earnings against the currency revaluation impact of foreign currency denominated liabilities.

The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments is recognized on the ~~balance sheet~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a derivative asset or ~~liability.~~liability and presented with Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Accrued expenses, respectively. When derivatives are settled with the counterparty, the derivative asset or liability is relieved and cash flow is impacted for the net settlement. For derivative instruments that meet the criteria of hedging instruments under FASB guidance, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially recorded net of related tax effect in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), a component of Share Owners’ Equity, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The gain or loss associated with derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments or that cease to meet the criteria for hedging under FASB guidance is reported immediately in Non-operating income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Based on fair values as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, we estimate that approximately ~~$0.1~~$1.2 million of pre-tax derivative gain deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss will be reclassified into earnings, along with the earnings effects of related forecasted transactions, within the next 12 months. Gains on foreign exchange contracts are generally offset by losses in operating income in the income statement when the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Because gains or losses on foreign exchange contracts fluctuate partially based on currency spot rates, the future effect on earnings of the cash flow hedges alone is not determinable, but in conjunction with the underlying hedged transactions, the result is expected to be a decline in currency risk. The maximum length of time we had hedged our exposure to the variability in future cash flows was 12 months as of both ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

See Note 7 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and Note 4 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the changes in deferred derivative gains and losses.

~~Note 9. Investments~~

The Company maintains a self-directed supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) for executive and other key employees. The Company SERP utilizes a rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy. The Company recognizes SERP investment assets on the balance sheet at current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the balance sheet representing an obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. The SERP investment assets are classified as trading, and accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the Other Income (Expense) category on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Adjustments made to revalue the SERP liability are also recognized in income as selling and administrative expenses and offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets. The change in net unrealized holding gains for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $(1.1) million and $0.9 million, respectively.

~~SERP asset and liability balances applicable to Kimball Electronics participants were as follows:~~

(Amounts in Thousands) March 31,
2022 June 30,
2021
SERP investments - current asset $ 3,494 $ 3,095
SERP investments - other long-term asset 8,411 9,549
Total SERP investments $ 11,905 $ 12,644
SERP obligation - current liability $ 3,494 $ 3,095
SERP obligation - other long-term liability 8,411 9,549
Total SERP obligation $ 11,905 $ 12,644

Note ~~10.~~9. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company maintains a trusteed defined contribution retirement plan which is in effect for substantially all domestic employees meeting the eligibility requirements. The Company also maintains a supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) for executives and other key employees which enables them to defer cash compensation on a pre-tax basis in excess of IRS limitations. The SERP is structured as a rabbi trust, and therefore, assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy. We recognize SERP investment assets on the balance sheet at current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the balance sheet representing an obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. As of December 31, 2022, both total investments and obligations under SERP were $8.2 million, of which $0.3 million were short term and $7.9 million were long term. As of June 30, 2022, both total investments and obligations under SERP were $10.4 million, of which $2.6 million were short term and $7.8 million were long term. The SERP investment assets are classified as trading, and accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the Other Income (Expense) category on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Adjustments made to revalue the SERP liability are also recognized in income as selling and administrative expenses and offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets. The change in net unrealized holding gains for both the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $(0.2) million.

The Company established and maintains severance plans for all domestic employees and other postemployment plans for certain foreign subsidiaries. There are no statutory requirements for us to contribute to the plans, nor do employees contribute to the plans. The plans hold no assets. Benefits are paid using available cash on hand when eligible employees meet plan qualifications for payment. Net periodic benefit costs were not material for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Note ~~11.~~10. Stock Compensation Plans

A stock compensation plan was created and adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on October 3, 2014. The Kimball Electronics, Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) allows for the issuance of up to 4.5 million shares and may be granted in the form of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, unrestricted shares, restricted share units, or performance shares and performance units. The Plan is a ten-year plan with no further awards allowed to be made under the Plan after October 1, 2024.

On October 20, 2016, the Board approved a nonqualified deferred stock compensation plan, the Kimball Electronics, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Stock Compensation Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”), which allows Non-Employee Directors to elect to defer all, or a portion of, their retainer fees in stock until retirement or termination from the Board or death. The Deferral Plan allows for issuance of up to 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. For more information on the Plan and the Deferral Plan, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~

To avoid a gap~~date in ~~the vesting of awards due to the transition from grants that vested annually in three equal installments to ones that vest after three years, two smaller bridge awards were also granted for~~ fiscal year 2022 and fiscal year 2022-2023 performance periods. The bridge award for the fiscal year 2022 performance period cliff vests at the first anniversary of the grant. The bridge award for the fiscal year 2022-2023 performance period cliff vests at the second anniversary of the grant. The award for the fiscal year 2022-2024 performance period, and future performance share awards, cliff vest at the third anniversary of the grant.2026.

Under these awards, a number of shares will be issued to each participant based upon a combination of athe Company’s profitability ~~attainment component,~~ based on its operating income over the performance period as defined in the Company’s operating ~~income plan,~~business plans for the applicable fiscal years and ~~a growth attainment component, based on~~ the Company’s growth ~~in sales revenue, comparing~~based on a comparison of its three-year compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) with the Electronics Manufacturing Services Industry’s three-year CAGR. The number of shares issued will be less than the targeted shares issuable if the Company does not reach 100% of one or both of the above-mentioned performance metrics, and could be zero if the Company does not reach the required minimum thresholds of either metric. The number of shares issued will exceed the number of targeted shares issuable (up to a maximum of 125%) if the Company exceeds 100% of one or both of the above-mentioned incentive metrics.

(2) The grant date fair value is the weighted average stock price based on the ~~stock price~~dates of the grants.

(3) Restricted shares were granted to officers and other key employees. These restricted shares were approved by the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board. The contractual life of the restricted shares is three years, with one-third of the interest in the restricted shares vested after year one of the grant, another one-third after year two of the grant, and the final one-third after year three of the grant. Restricted shares are expensed over the contractual vesting period as earned. If the employment of a holder of restricted shares terminates before the RSU has vested for any reason other than death, retirement, or disability, the restricted shares not yet vested will be forfeited.

Business Overview

We are a global, multifaceted manufacturing solutions provider. We provide contract electronics manufacturing services (“EMS”) and diversified manufacturing services, including engineering and supply chain support, to customers in the automotive, medical, industrial, and public safety end markets. Our core competency is producing durable electronics, and we further offer diversified contract manufacturing services for non-electronic components, medical devices, medical disposables, drug delivery devices and solutions, precision molded plastics, and production automation, test, and inspection equipment. Our manufacturing services, including engineering and supply chain support, utilize common production and support capabilities globally. We are well recognized by our customers and the industry for our excellent quality, reliability, and innovative service. ~~For the third time in four years, we were recognized in 2021 for achieving the Highest Overall Customer Rating in CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY’s 2021 Service Excellence Awards.~~ CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY, is a leading brand and technical publication for electronics manufacturers ~~worldwide.~~

worldwide, has recognized us four times in the past five years for achieving the Highest Overall Customer Rating in their Service Excellence Awards, and we received awards in all categories in 2022.

The contract manufacturing services industry is very competitive. As a mid-sized player, we can expect to be challenged by the agility and flexibility of the smaller, regional players, and we can expect to be challenged by the scale and price competitiveness of the larger, global players. We enjoy a unique market position between these extremes which allows us to compete with the larger scale players for high-volume projects, but also maintain our competitive position in the generally lower volume durable electronics market space. We expect to continue to effectively operate in this market space; however, one significant challenge will be maintaining our profit margins while we continue our revenue growth. Price increases are uncommon in the market as production efficiencies and material pricing advantages for most projects drive costs and prices down over the life of the projects. This characteristic of the contract electronics marketplace is expected to continue.

The Worldwide Manufacturing Services Market - ~~2021~~2022 Edition, a comprehensive study on the worldwide EMS market published by New Venture Research (“NVR”), provided worldwide forecast trends through ~~2025.~~2026. NVR projects the worldwide assembly market for electronics products to grow at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of ~~3.4%~~4.3% over the next five years, with the EMS industry projected to grow at a CAGR of ~~7.1%~~5.5%.

We continue to monitor the current economic and industry conditions for uncertainties that may pose a threat to our future growth or cause disruption in business strategy, execution, and timing in the markets in which we compete. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy, and we are actively monitoring its impact on all our operations. We cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact of the uncertainties and risks of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future results, though they could be material. The well-being and safety of our employees remains our number one priority, and we are following guidelines suggested by applicable authorities as appropriate for our operations. Our response to each positive case in our facilities follows our procedures for communication to our employees, contact tracing, self-quarantining, testing, and sanitization of the affected work areas. Nonetheless, all of our facilities have been affected to varying degrees by COVID-19. Most recently, due to the continued spread of COVID-19 cases, in various cities in China where our customers and suppliers operate, Chinese authorities have reinstated certain measures to keep COVID-19 in check, including travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders, compulsory quarantines, and the temporary closure of many corporate offices, manufacturing facilities, and factories. We continue to maintain close contact and communication with our customers and our supply chain to ensure safety measures follow appropriate guidelines for the health and safety of all parties and to minimize disruption of operations. While the availability of vaccines and other treatments is encouraging, significant uncertainties and risks still exist related to the severity and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on our end markets, the supply chain, the health and availability of our workforce, and global macroeconomic conditions; therefore, its financial impact on our future results cannot be reasonably estimated but could be material.

The EMS industry continues to experience component shortages, component allocations, and shipping delays, particularly with semiconductors, which ~~have been~~were especially challenging ~~throughout this~~in the prior fiscal year. Component shortages or allocations could continue to increase component costs and potentially interrupt our operations and negatively impact our ability to meet commitments to customers. We have taken various actions to mitigate the risk and minimize the impact to our customers as well as the adverse effect component shortages, component allocations, or shipping delays could have on our results; however, the duration or severity of the ~~component~~components shortages is unknown.

COVID-19 interruptions and supply chain restraints have also resulted in an industry-wide inflation of components, labor, freight, and other operating costs. Through contractual pricing arrangements and negotiations with our customers, we have been able to mitigate a majority of these cost increases; however, our profitability has been impacted, ~~in the short term,~~ and ~~the~~necessary extended lead times on inventory purchases has negatively impacted our working capital. The financial impact on our future results cannot be reasonably estimated but could ~~continue to~~ be material.

In February 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine. The ongoing war there has impacted the global economy as the United States, the UK, the EU, and other countries have imposed broad export controls and financial and economic sanctions against Russia (a large exporter of commodities), Belarus, and specific areas of Ukraine, and may continue to impose additional sanctions or other measures. Russia may impose its own counteractive measures. Companies worldwide are interrupting or stopping production in Ukraine, Russia, and neighboring countries. We do not procure materials directly from Ukraine or Russia, but these impacts can further exacerbate the ongoing supply chain disruptions that are occurring across the globe, particularly in the automotive industry. While the precise effects on global economies of the ongoing war and sanctions remain uncertain, they have already resulted in significant volatility in financial markets, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, and an increase in energy and commodity prices globally. Should the war continue or escalate, there may be various economic and security consequences including, but not limited to, additional supply shortages of different kinds; further increases in prices of commodities; significant disruptions in logistics infrastructure and telecommunications services; and risks relating to the unavailability of information technology systems and infrastructure. The resulting impacts to the global economy, financial markets, inflation, interest rates, and unemployment, among others, could adversely impact economic and financial conditions, and may disrupt the global economy’s ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Other potential consequences include, but are not limited to, growth in the number of popular uprisings in the region, increased political discontent, especially in the regions most affected by war or economic sanctions, increase in cyberterrorism activities and attacks, displacement of persons

to regions close to the areas of conflict, and an increase in the number of refugees fleeing across Europe, among other unforeseen social and humanitarian effects. Any future negative impact to our operations cannot be reasonably estimated but could be material.

~~As expected, the second half to fiscal year 2022 is off to a strong start as we had~~We experienced record quarterly net sales in the ~~third~~second quarter of the current fiscal ~~year.~~year as sales increased 39% from the prior fiscal year second quarter, with double-digit increases in all three of our end market verticals. Beginning in fiscal year 2023, we changed our presentation of revenue for the industrial and public safety end market verticals by combining them into the industrial end market vertical. Prior year periods have been recast to conform to the current year presentation. The prior fiscal year second quarter net sales were adversely impacted by component shortages, especially within the automotive end market vertical. Sales to customers in the automotive market ~~experienced a record quarter for the current fiscal year quarter as sales increased by 16% when compared to the sales~~ in the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal year ~~2021,~~2023 were a quarterly record, largely driven by the ~~ramp-up of certain programs.

In the industrial market, ~~sales~~which also experienced ~~double-digit growth~~a quarterly record in the current ~~fiscal year~~ quarter, sales increased in large part due to higher end market demand for climate control products. Sales to customers in the public safety market were slightly higher in the current fiscal year quarter compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2021.improved component availability and new product launches.

We have a strong focus on cost control balanced with managing the future growth prospects of our business and growing backlog of orders due to the global component shortage and logistical challenges. We expect to make investments that will strengthen or add new capabilities to our package of value as a multifaceted manufacturing solutions company, including through our recently announced and completed capacity expansions. Managing working capital in conjunction with fluctuating demand levels is likewise key. In addition, a long-standing component of our profit-sharing incentive bonus plan is that it is linked to our financial performance which results in varying amounts of compensation expense as profits change.

We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet, which included a current ratio of ~~1.8,~~2.0, a debt-to-equity ratio of ~~0.3,~~0.6, and Share Owners’ equity of ~~$454~~$481 million at ~~March~~December 31, 2022. ~~Our short-term liquidity available, represented~~Recently, inventory and debt levels have increased as ~~cash~~we have invested in capital expenditures and ~~cash equivalents plus~~working capital to support our expansions and growth in Mexico and Thailand.

In addition to the above discussion related to the current market conditions, management currently considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding our financial condition and operating performance:

•Employees throughout our business operations are an integral part of our ability to compete successfully, and the stability of the management team is critical to long-term Share Owner value. Our talent management and succession planning processes help to maintain stability in management.

•Due to the contract and project nature of the contract manufacturing industry, fluctuation in the demand for our products and variation in the gross margin on those programs is inherent to our business. Effective management of manufacturing capacity is, and will continue to be, critical to our success.

•The nature of the EMS industry is such that the start-up of new customers and new programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently. As such, our ability to continue contractual relationships with our customers, including our principal customers, is not certain. While our agreements with customers generally do not have a definitive term and thus could be canceled at any time with little or no notice, we generally realize relatively few cancellations prior to the end of the product’s life cycle. We attribute this to our focus on long-term customer relationships, meeting customer expectations, required capital investment, and product qualification cycle times. New customers, ~~and~~ program start-ups, and facility expansions generally cause margin dilution early in ~~the life of a program,~~their respective lifecycles, which iswe generally ~~recovered~~recover as the customer relationship, program, or facility becomes established and matures.

•Risk factors within our business include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions, component availability, logistical challenges, customer order delays, globalization, global health emergencies including the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, impact related to tariffs and other trade barriers, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, rapid technological changes, supplier and customer financial stability, the contract nature of this industry, the concentration of sales to significant customers, and the potential for customers to choose a dual sourcing strategy or to in-source a greater portion of their manufacturing. The continuing success of our business is dependent upon our ability to replace expiring customers/programs with new customers/programs. We monitor our success in this area by tracking the number of customers and the percentage of our net sales generated from them by years of service as depicted in the table below. While variation in the size of program awards makes it difficult to directly correlate this data to our sales trends, we believe it does provide useful information regarding our customer loyalty and new business growth. Additional risk factors that could have an effect on our performance are located within the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~Third~~Second quarter and year-to-date fiscal year ~~2022~~2023 consolidated net sales increased compared to the ~~third~~second quarter and year-to-date period of fiscal year ~~2021.~~2022, with a new quarterly record set in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The impact from foreign currency fluctuations on net sales was an unfavorable 2%5% in the current quarter ~~compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2021~~ and ~~less than 1% for the~~ current year-to-date period compared to the second quarter and the year-to-date period of fiscal year ~~2021.~~2022. By end market vertical, our market verticals fluctuated as follows:

•Sales to customers in the automotive market experienced record net sales during the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal year 2023, increasing 44% compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 and increasing ~~16%~~43% in the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2023 compared to the ~~third quarter~~year-to-date period of fiscal year ~~2021.~~2022. This double-digit increase is largely due to the continued ramp-up of certain programs, new product launches, and improved component availability.

ramp-up of certain programs, including programs for fully electric vehicles, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of component shortages. Sales to customers in the automotive market in the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2022 also increased, but by a smaller percentage when compared to the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2021, as the component shortages had more of a negative impact in the first half of the current fiscal year.

•Sales to customers in the medical market had a double-digit increase in both the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal year 2023 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 ~~when compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2021 primarily due to the ramp-up of certain programs.

•Beginning in fiscal year 2023, the Company changed its presentation of revenue for the industrial and public safety end market verticals by combining them into the industrial end market vertical. Prior year periods have been recast to conform to the current year presentation. Sales to customers in the industrial market also experienced record net sales during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, increasing 27% when compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 largely due to improved component availability and new product launches. Sales to customers in the industrial market also had a double-digit increase in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 when compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, primarily due to higher end market demand for climate control products and the ramp-up of certain programs, which were partially offset by the phase out of certain programs.

The increase in open orders from December 30, 2021 in both the automotive market and the medical market is driven by the overall increase in demand coupled with the component shortages, which has limited our ability to fulfill customer orders. Open orders are the aggregate sales price of production pursuant to unfulfilled customer orders, which may be delayed or canceled by the customer subject to contractual termination provisions. ~~Substantially all~~The majority of ~~the~~ open orders as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 are expected to be filled within the next twelve months. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends due to the contract nature of our business and the variability of order lead times among our customers. Additionally, COVID-19 and the component shortages could impact the timing and certainty of fulfillment of open orders.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales in the ~~third~~second quarter and first half of fiscal year ~~2022~~2023 improved when compared to the ~~third~~second quarter ~~of fiscal year 2021 primarily due to lower depreciation expense from the change in estimates of useful lives on Surface Mount Technology production equipment that occurred in the second quarter~~and first half of fiscal year 2022 ~~and~~primarily due to the leverage gained on higher revenue.

~~Gross~~as we retained our workforce, our gross profit as a percent of net sales declined in the first nine months of fiscal year 2022 when compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 2021. We experienced lost absorption in the first half of the current fiscal year as we retained our workforce to be well-positioned for the anticipated growth in the second half of the current fiscal year. We also incurred higher material costs, increased freight costs driven by the component shortages, and wage inflation in the current year-to-date period compared to the prior year-to-date period. Partially offsetting these unfavorable factors in the current year-to-date period were lower profit-sharing incentive bonus expense and lower depreciation from the change in estimates of useful lives on Surface Mount Technology production equipment.

The selling and administrative expenses increase was driven by added resources to support our significant growth, wage inflation, and increased ~~primarily from~~factoring fees due to higher salary and related payroll costs and stock-based compensation, including non-recurring charges related to executive succession planning, which were partially offset by the decrease in the fair value of the liability for the supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”).

Other General Income in the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2022 and~~ 2021 included $1.4 million ~~and $0.7 million, respectively,~~ of pre-tax income resulting from payments received related to the class action lawsuits in which Kimball Electronics was a class member. These lawsuits alleged that certain suppliers to the EMS industry conspired over a number of years to raise and fix the prices of electronic components, resulting in overcharges to purchasers of those components. No Other General Income was recorded in ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2022, and $0.4 million was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2021.~~2022.

Other Income (Expense) consisted of the following:

Interest expense has increased in the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 due to higher interest rates and higher borrowings on credit facilities. Foreign currency/derivative gains (losses) result from net foreign currency exchange rate movements during the periods. The revaluation to fair value of the SERP investments recorded in Other Income (Expense) is offset by the revaluation of the SERP liability recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses, and thus there is no effect on net income. ~~The adjustments after measurement period of GES acquisition relate to charges recognized from agreements reached after the measurement period on disputed claims with the sellers of GES.~~

Our provision for income taxes for the first ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and ~~March~~December 31, 2021 was ~~$7.1~~$6.1 million, or 23.3% of income before taxes on income, and $2.6 million, or 25.0% of income before taxes on income, ~~and $10.2 million, or 19.4% of income before taxes on income,~~ respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was driven by the lower rate in the prior fiscal year, which was favorably impacted by a mix of earnings in jurisdictions with rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% and a discrete tax adjustment related to the reduction in our state tax valuation allowance for research and development credit carryforwards.

Comparing the balance sheet as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 to June 30, ~~2021, Receivables~~2022, receivables increased ~~$20.8~~$42.3 million largely due to higher sales volumes. ~~Contract assets, which reflect the unbilled accounts receivable that occur when we recognize revenue over time, increased $17.9 million.~~ Our inventory balance increased ~~$138.0~~$91.9 million ~~primarily~~ due to the component shortages as we continue to purchase material not impacted by the shortages so we can fulfill our customer orders once the impacted components are received, as well as ~~increased demand.~~to support production at our newly expanded facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at ~~March~~December 31, 2022 was ~~$316.6~~$435.5 million compared to working capital of ~~$282.6~~$352.3 million at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The current ratio was ~~1.8~~2.0 and 1.9 at ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and ~~1.9 at~~ June 30, ~~2021.~~2022, respectively. The debt-to-equity ratio was ~~0.3~~0.6 at ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and ~~0.1~~0.4 at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Our short-term liquidity available, represented as cash and cash equivalents plus the unused amount of our credit facilities, some of which are uncommitted, totaled ~~$78.4~~$79.8 million at ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and ~~$206.7~~$178.6 million at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Cash Conversion Days (“CCD”) are calculated as the sum of Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) plus Contract Asset Days (“CAD”) plus Production Days Supply on Hand (“PDSOH”) less Accounts Payable Days (“APD”). CCD, or a similar metric, is used in our industry and by our management to measure the efficiency of managing working capital. The following table summarizes our CCD for the quarterly periods indicated.


		Three Months Ended		Three Months Ended
		March 31, 2022	June 30, 2021		March 31, 2021		December 31, 2022	September 30, 2022	December 31, 2021

We define DSO as the average of monthly trade accounts and notes receivable divided by an average day’s net sales, CAD as the average monthly contract assets divided by an average day’s net sales, PDSOH as the average of monthly gross inventory divided by an average day’s cost of sales, and APD as the average of monthly accounts payable divided by an average day’s cost of sales. Over the past several quarters, we have supported our customers through strategic inventory builds to mitigate parts shortages, which adversely impacted our PDSOH and CCD metrics. We expect inventory levels and working capital to normalize as the part shortages abate and our expansions continue to ramp up production.

Net cash used for operating activities for the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal year ~~2022 was driven by changes in operating assets~~2023 and ~~liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities in~~ the first ~~nine~~six months of the prior year was driven by ~~both net income adjusted for non-cash items and~~ changes in operating assets and liabilities. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used ~~$133.3~~$107.5 million of cash in the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal year ~~2022~~2023 compared to ~~$37.4~~$83.2 million of cash ~~provided~~used in the first ~~nine~~six months of the prior year.

The cash used of ~~$133.3~~$107.5 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities in the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal year 2023 is largely due to an increase in inventory, which used cash of $88.9 million, primarily due to the component shortages as we continue to purchase material not impacted by the shortages so we can fulfill our customer orders once the impacted components are received in addition to increased demand, and an increase in accounts receivable, which used cash of $40.8 million primarily resulting from increased sales volumes. Partially offsetting cash used by inventory was an increase in accounts payable, which provided cash of $23.2 million largely resulting from increased inventory purchases.

The cash used of $83.2 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 is largely due to an increase in inventory, which used cash of ~~$142.5~~$106.9 million primarily due to the component shortages as we continue to purchase material not impacted by the shortages so we can fulfill our customer orders once the impacted components are received, and ~~an increase~~the decrease in ~~accounts receivable,~~accrued expenses and taxes payable, which used cash of ~~$25.2~~$12.1 million ~~primarily resulting~~ from ~~increased sales volumes.~~a significant portion of accrued incentive compensation payments occurring during the first half of the fiscal year. Partially offsetting cash used by inventory and accrued expenses was an increase in accounts payable, which provided cash of ~~$61.1~~$36.3 million largely resulting from increased inventory ~~purchases.~~

~~The cash provided of $37.4 million from changes in operating assets~~purchases, and ~~liabilities in the first nine months of fiscal year 2021 was largely due to~~ a decrease in ~~inventory,~~accounts receivable, which provided cash of $37.6 million primarily due to the consumption of the inventory build at the end of the prior fiscal year in addition to the reimbursement from certain customers for the excess raw material inventory we purchased based on their forecasts during the ramp-up due to COVID-19, and the decrease in contract assets, which provided cash of $17.2 million as a result of our lower inventory balance and the related impact of timing of shipments and related billings to our customers. Partially offsetting cash provided by inventory and contract assets was an increase in accounts receivable, which used cash of $23.0$15.2 million primarily resulting from ~~increased~~decreased sales ~~volumes and customer sales mix.~~

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal years ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, net cash used for investing activities was ~~$50.0~~$41.9 million and ~~$23.0~~$27.8 million, respectively. During the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal year 2023, we invested $42.2 million into capital expenditures primarily for expansions at our Mexico, Thailand, and Poland facilities and to support new business awards. During the first six months of fiscal year 2022, we invested ~~$50.1~~$27.9 million into capital expenditures ~~primarily~~ for expansions at our Thailand and Mexico facilities, capacity purposes, ~~and~~ to support new business awards. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2021, we invested $23.4 million into capital expenditures for capacity purposes, to support new business awards, and replacement of older machinery and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal year 2023, net cash provided by financing activities of $91.4 million resulted largely from net borrowings on our credit facilities of $92.9 million primarily for working capital purposes and capital expenditures supporting our expansions. For the first six months of fiscal year 2022, net cash provided by financing activities of ~~$64.9~~$35.5 million resulted largely from net borrowings on our credit facilities of $71.2 million primarily for working capital purposes, partially offset by repurchases of our common stock under an authorized stock repurchase plan. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2021, net cash used by financing activities of $58.7 million resulted largely from net payments on our credit facilities of $57.9 million and the repurchases of our common stock, partially offset by the receipt of $3.0 million for the final net working capital adjustment from the GES acquisition.$37.0 million.

Credit Facilities

The Company maintains a U.S. primary credit facility (the “primary credit facility”) among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, ~~National Association,~~N.A., as Administrative Agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as Documentation Agent, scheduled to mature ~~July 27, 2023.~~May 4, 2027. The primary credit facility provides for ~~$150~~$300 million in borrowings, with an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to ~~$225~~$450 million at the Company’s request, subject to the consent of each lender participating in such increase.

The proceeds of the loans on the primary credit facility are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the ~~Company including capital expenditures and potential acquisitions.~~Company. A portion of the credit facility, not to exceed $15 million of the principal amount, will be available for the issuance of letters of credit. A commitment fee on the unused portion of the principal amount of the credit facility is payable at a rate that ranges from ~~20.0~~10.0 to 25.0 basis points per annum as determined by the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated ~~EBITDA.~~

~~On November 8, 2021,~~EBITDA, as defined under the primary facility was amended to provide, among other things, (1) the interest rate calculation method will generally transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) on the transition date of December 31, 2021 on applicable borrowings; (2) the Eurocurrency borrowings are replaced with Term Benchmark borrowings; (3) if any Term Benchmark borrowing is denominated Euros, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) shall be utilized; and (4) all ABR borrowings will be denominated in U.S. Dollars.credit facility.

The interest rate on borrowings is dependent on the type and currencies of borrowings and will be one of following ~~two~~ options:

•the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), which is defined as the highest of the ~~fluctuating~~fluctuation rate per annum equal to the higher ofof:

a.~~JPMorgan’s~~Prime Rate in the U.S. last quoted by the Wall Street Journal, and if this is ceased to be quoted, the highest bank prime ~~rate;~~loan rate or similar rate quoted by the Federal Reserve Board;

b.~~1% per annum above the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined under the primary credit facility); or~~

c.1/2 of 1% per annum above the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined under the primary credit facility); or

c.1% per annum above the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined under the primary credit facility);

At ~~March~~December 31, 2022, we had ~~$127.7~~$264.3 million in borrowings under the primary credit facility and $0.4 million in letters of credit against the primary credit facility, and ~~$95.0~~$235.0 million of the borrowings were classified as long-term as the Company intends, and has the ability, to refinance for a period longer than twelve months. At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~$62.7~~$171.4 million in borrowings under the primary credit facility and $0.4 million in letters of credit against the primary credit facility, and ~~$40.0~~$145.0 million were classified as long-term.

The Company’s financial covenants under the primary credit facility require:

We were in compliance with the financial covenants during the ~~nine-month~~six-month period ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022.

~~The Company~~As noted in the Future Liquidity section below, we entered into a 364-day multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement on ~~March 16, 2022~~February 3, 2023 (the “secondary credit facility”), which allows for borrowings up to ~~$20~~$50 million. ~~This secondary credit facility was established for working capital purposes and had a maturity date of the earlier of June 30, 2022 or the date upon which the primary credit facility was refinanced.~~

~~As noted in the Future Liquidity section below, the primary credit facility was amended and restated on May 4, 2022, and the secondary credit facility was terminated.~~

Kimball Electronics has foreign credit facilities available to satisfy short-term cash needs at specific foreign locations rather than funding from intercompany sources. These foreign credit facilities can be canceled at any time by either the bank or us. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, we maintained the following foreign credit facilities:

•A Thailand overdraft credit facility which allows for borrowings up to ~~2.4 million Thai Baht (approximately $0.1 million at March 31, 2022 exchange rates).~~$10.1 million. We had no borrowings under this foreign credit facility as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022 or June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the borrowing capacity was expanded.

•We entered into an uncommitted credit facility for its EMS operation in China which allows for borrowings up to $7.5 million that can be drawn in either U.S. dollars or China Renminbi during the first quarter of the current fiscal year. The facility is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2023. We had no borrowings under this foreign credit facility as of December 31, 2022.

•An uncommitted revolving credit facility for our Netherlands subsidiary, which allows for borrowings of up to 9.2 million Euro (approximately ~~$10.2~~$9.8 million at ~~March~~December 31, 2022 exchange rates) that can be drawn in Euro, U.S. dollars, or another optional currency. We had ~~$9.4~~$9.2 million in borrowings outstanding under this Netherlands revolving credit facility ~~as of March~~at both December 31, 2022 and ~~$3.5 million as of~~ June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~During the current fiscal year, the uncommitted revolving~~Subsequent to December 31, 2022, we entered into a foreign credit facility for ~~our~~its EMS operation in Poland ~~operation expired,~~ which ~~allowed~~allows for borrowings of up to 5 million Euro ~~that could be drawn in Euro, U.S. dollars, or Polish Zloty. We had no borrowings under this foreign credit facility as of June 30, 2021.~~(approximately $5.4 million equivalent).

Factoring Arrangements

The Company utilizes factoring arrangements for certain of our accounts receivables with third-party financial institutions in order to extend terms for the customer without negatively impacting our cash flow. These arrangements in all cases do not contain recourse provisions which would obligate us in the event of our customers’ failure to pay. Receivables are considered sold when they are transferred beyond the reach of Kimball Electronics and its creditors, the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and we have surrendered control over the transferred receivables. In the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, we sold, without recourse, ~~$201.5~~$225.1 million and ~~$246.3~~$125.3 million of accounts receivable, respectively. See Note 1 - Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the factoring arrangements.

Future Liquidity

~~On May 4, 2022, the Company~~We entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A., as Documentation Agent. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s primarya 364-day multi-currency revolving credit facility ~~which was scheduled to mature~~agreement on ~~July 27, 2023. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of May 4, 2027 and~~February 3, 2023 (the “secondary credit facility”), which allows for ~~$300~~borrowings up to $50 million, ~~in borrowings,~~The secondary credit facility will provide us with ~~an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $450 million~~liquidity at the ~~Company’s request, subject to the consent of each lender participating in such increase.

secondary credit facility.

We believe our principal sources of liquidity from available funds on hand, cash generated from operations, and the availability of borrowing under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and other operating needs for at least the next 12 months. The unused borrowings in USD equivalent under all of our credit facilities totaled ~~$42.8~~$53.5 million at ~~March~~December 31, 2022. Additionally, accounts receivable factoring arrangements could provide flexible access to cash as needed. While our primary credit facility includes a covenant that limits the amount of sold receivables outstanding at any time, currently and historically, we have been considerably below this limit.

We expect to continue to prudently invest in capital expenditures, including for capacity expansions and potential acquisitions, that would help us continue our growth ~~and development~~ as a multifaceted manufacturing solutions company. ~~In fiscal year 2021, we approved capacity expansions at~~We recently completed our Thailand ~~and Mexico facilities. Our Thailand~~ facility expansion ~~was completed~~ in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 and ~~we anticipate the~~our Mexico facility expansion ~~will be complete~~ in the ~~beginning~~first quarter of fiscal year 2023. ~~We have also approved a plan to expand the facility in Poznan,~~Our Poland ~~and the~~ expansion is expected to be completed in early fiscal year 2024. We are in a solid financial position to be able to weather the continuing impact of COVID-19; however, significant uncertainties and risks exist related to the severity and duration of the impact to certain markets, the supply chain, and to global macroeconomic conditions.

At ~~March~~December 31, 2022, our capital expenditure commitments were approximately ~~$16~~$23 million, consisting primarily of commitments for the expansion of our Poland facility, equipment for the Mexico and Thailand facility expansions, and capital related to new program ~~wins, and capacity purposes.~~wins. We anticipate our available liquidity will be sufficient to fund these capital expenditures.

We have purchase obligations that arise in the normal course of business for items such as raw materials, services, and software acquisitions/license commitments. In certain instances, such as when lead times dictate, we enter into contractual agreements for material in excess of the levels required to fulfill customer orders to help mitigate the potential impact related to component shortages, which require longer lead times. In turn, our material authorization agreements with customers cover a portion of the exposure for material which is purchased prior to having a firm order.

At ~~March~~December 31, 2022, our foreign entities held cash totaling ~~$34.0~~$26.3 million. Most of our accumulated unremitted foreign earnings have been invested in active non-U.S. business operations, and ~~we expect we may only repatriate a minor amount of these~~it is not anticipated such earnings will be remitted to the United ~~States in a tax-efficient manner.~~States. Our intent is to permanently reinvest the remaining funds outside of the United States, and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these funds to our U.S. operations. However, if such funds were repatriated, a portion of the funds remitted may be subject to applicable non-U.S. income and withholding taxes.

The Company has a Board-authorized stock repurchase plan (the “Plan”) allowing the repurchase of up to $100 million of our common stock. Purchases may be made under various programs, including in open-market transactions, block transactions on or off an exchange, or in privately negotiated transactions, all in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations. The Plan has no expiration date but may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations, as determined by the Company’s management team. The Company expects to finance the purchases with existing liquidity. The Company has repurchased ~~$84.6~~$88.8 million of common stock under the Plan through ~~March~~December 31, 2022.

Our ability to generate cash from operations to meet our liquidity obligations could be adversely affected in the future by factors such as general economic and market conditions, lack of availability of raw material components in the supply chain, a decline in demand for our services, loss of key contract customers, unsuccessful integration of acquisitions and new operations, global health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related uncertainties around the financial impact, and other unforeseen circumstances. In particular, should demand for our customers’ products and, in turn, our services decrease significantly over the next 12 months, the available cash provided by operations could be adversely impacted. Additional cautionary statements regarding our risk factors are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Fair Value

During the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal year ~~2022,~~2023, no level 1 or level 2 financial instruments were affected by a lack of market liquidity. For level 1 financial assets, readily available market pricing was used to value the financial instruments. Our foreign currency derivative assets and liabilities, which were classified as level 2, were independently valued using observable market inputs such as forward interest rate yield curves, current spot rates, and time value calculations. To verify the reasonableness of the independently determined fair values, these derivative fair values were compared to fair values calculated by the counterparty banks. Our own credit risk and counterparty credit risk had an immaterial impact on the valuation of the foreign currency derivatives. See Note 7 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of ~~March~~December 31, 2022, we do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Kimball Electronics’ Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management uses its best judgment in the assumptions used to value these estimates, which are based on current facts and circumstances, prior experience, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. For further information regarding our critical accounting policies, refer to “Note 1 - Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Critical Accounting Policies” in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

New Accounting Standards

~~See~~New accounting standards which have been issued but not yet adopted are typically disclosed in Note 1 - Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding New Accounting Standards. Currently, there are no issued but not yet adopted accounting standards that are expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes in our exposure to market risks for changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The interest rate on certain borrowings under our credit facilities, including our primary credit facility, were based on LIBOR prior to December 31, 2021. Due to the discontinuation of LIBOR on December 31, 2021, we have transitioned the impacted interest rates primarily to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). See ~~Note 6 - Credit Facilities~~ ~~of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.~~2022.

Comprehensive disclosures of quantitative and qualitative market risk can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Kimball Electronics maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022.

(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries are not parties to any pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business. The outcome of current routine pending litigation and claims, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our business or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. A comprehensive disclosure of risk factors related to Kimball Electronics can be found in our Annual Report on Form ~~10-K. We are including the following revised risk factors to update and supersede the corresponding risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form~~ 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the revised risk factors should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021. For more information on our forward-looking statements, see the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

~~Our international operations make us vulnerable to financial and operational risks associated with doing business in foreign countries.~~

We have operations outside the United States, primarily in China, India, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Thailand, and Vietnam. Our international operations are subject to a number of risks, which may include the following:

•~~economic and political instability, including the uncertainties caused by the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union;~~

•~~foreign governments’ measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic;~~

•~~warfare, riots, terrorism, and other forms of violence or geopolitical disruption;~~

•~~compliance with laws, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, applicable to U.S. companies doing business outside the United States;~~

•~~changes in U.S. or foreign policies, regulatory requirements, and laws;~~

•~~tariffs and other trade barriers, including tariffs imposed by the United States as well as responsive tariffs imposed by China, the European Union, or Mexico;~~

•~~potentially adverse tax consequences, including changes in tax rates and the manner in which multinational companies are taxed in the United States and other countries; and~~

•~~foreign labor practices.~~

These risks could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates could impact our operating results. Our risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Any hedging techniques we implement contain risks and may not be entirely effective. Exchange rate fluctuations could also make our products more expensive than competitors’ products not subject to these fluctuations, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability in international markets.

For example, the Russian invasion and the ongoing war there has impacted the global economy as the United States, the UK, the EU, and other countries have imposed broad export controls and financial and economic sanctions against Russia (a large exporter of commodities), Belarus, and specific areas of Ukraine, and may continue to impose additional sanctions or other measures. Russia may impose its own counteractive measures. Companies worldwide are interrupting or stopping production in Ukraine, Russia, and neighboring countries. We do not procure materials directly from Ukraine or Russia or have facilities there, but these impacts can further exacerbate the ongoing supply chain disruptions that are occurring across the globe, particularly in the automotive industry. Our European operations are in Poland and Romania, and both of these countries are part of NATO, which is actively taking, and could take in the future, certain measures in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The extent of the war’s effect on the global economy and the duration, scope, and impacts of the conflict are unknown and highly unpredictable, and the consequences from future actions such as increased sanctions and retaliatory measures taken by the United States, NATO, or other countries cannot be predicted but could have an adverse impact on our business operations, particularly our European operations.

Certain foreign jurisdictions restrict the amount of cash that can be transferred to the United States or impose taxes and penalties on such transfers of cash. To the extent we have excess cash in foreign locations that could be used in, or is needed by, our operations in the United States, we may incur significant penalties and/or taxes to repatriate these funds.

Item 5. Other Information

We are providing the following disclosure in this Form 10-Q in lieu of filing such information on a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

~~On May 4, 2022, the Company~~We entered into ~~an amended and restated~~a 364-day multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement on February 3, 2023 (the ~~“Credit Agreement”~~“secondary credit facility”), which allows for borrowings up to $50 million, among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, ~~and~~ JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A., as Documentation Agent.
