NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Raven Industries, Inc. ("the Company" or "Raven") is a diversified technology company providing a variety of products to customers within the industrial, agricultural, geomembrane, construction, commercial lighter-than-air, and aerospace/defense markets. The Company is comprised of ~~three~~3 unique operating units, or divisions, classified into reportable business segments: Applied Technology, Engineered Films, and Aerostar.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, which includes the accounts of Raven and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries, net of intercompany balances and transactions, has been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly present this financial information have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Financial results for the interim three-month period ended April 30, ~~2019,~~2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The January 31, ~~2019,~~2020, consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required in an annual report on Form 10-K. Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, ~~2019,~~2020, other than described in the Accounting Standards Adopted section below.

Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted

In the fiscal ~~2020~~2021 first quarter, the Company adopted, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting ~~Standards~~Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02), issued in February 2016 and the subsequently-issued codification improvements to Topic 842. The primary difference between previous GAAP and ASU 2016-02 is the recognition of lease assets and liabilities by lessees for leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The guidance requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability (to make lease payments) and a right-of-use asset (representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term) on the balance sheet with terms greater than 12 months. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on a modified retrospective basis for all agreements existing as of February 1, 2019. Prior comparative periods have not been adjusted and continue to be reported and disclosed under ASC Topic 840. This adoption did not have a material impact to the Company. As of February 1, 2019, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset for finance leases and operating leases of $233 and $3,807, respectively and a current and non-current lease liability of $1,446 and $2,571, respectively. As part of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company elected the following practical expedient: short-term recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. Note disclosures required in Topic 842 are reported in Note 11 ~~Leases~~ ~~of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.~~

~~New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted~~

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, "Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606" (ASU 2018-18). The amendments in ASU 2018-18 clarify that certain transactions between participants in collaborative arrangements should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with

~~(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)~~

~~Customers,"~~and precludes certain transactions that are not with a customer from using Topic 606. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted in any interim period. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the date Topic 606 was adopted. The Company is examining specific collaborative agreements to determine the impact, if any, the new guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

~~In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU~~ No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" (ASU 2018-13)., when it became effective. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 remove, modify, and add required disclosures for companies ~~required~~related to ~~make disclosures about~~ recurring orand nonrecurring fair value measurements under Topic 820. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted; however, the Company has the option to delay the adoption of the additional disclosures required until the effective date. Certain amendments in this guidance are required to be applied prospectively, and others are to be applied retrospectively. The ~~Company is evaluating the~~ amendments in ASU 2018-13 only related to ~~determine when it will adopt this guidance~~financial statement disclosures and ~~the~~did not have a significant impact ~~the guidance will have~~ on the Company's ~~disclosures for assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring~~consolidated financial statements or ~~nonrecurring basis.~~its note disclosures.

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

In ~~June 2016,~~ the fiscal 2021 first quarter, the Company adopted FASB ~~issued~~ ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASU 2016-13)., when it became effective along with all subsequent amendments to Topic 326 issued by FASB. Current GAAP generally delays recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss is deemed probable of occurring. The amendments in this guidance eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. Previously, when credit losses were measured under GAAP, an entity generally only considered past events and current conditions in measuring the incurred loss. ~~The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities may elect to early adopt~~At adoption, the Company did not have any financial instruments in scope under ASU 2016-13 ~~for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of~~other than trade accounts receivables. In accordance with ASU 2016-13, ~~including all subsequent amendments~~the Company updated its current expected credit loss model for its trade accounts receivable and ~~improvements~~remeasured its allowance for doubtful accounts as of February 1, 2020. The remeasurement impact was immaterial and no cumulative accounting adjustment was recorded to ~~ASC Topic 326~~retained earnings in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

There are no significant ASU's issued ~~by FASB, will have on its consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.~~not yet adopted as of April 30, 2020.

(4) NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares and fully vested stock units outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding, which includes the shares issuable upon exercise of employee stock options (net of shares assumed purchased with the option proceeds), stock units and restricted stock units outstanding. Performance share awards are included in the diluted calculation based upon what would be issued if the end of the most recent reporting period was the end of the term of the award.

Certain outstanding options and restricted stock units were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculations because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. The options and restricted stock units excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation were as follows:

Contract Balances

Contract balances consist of contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not yet billed for at the reporting date, or retainage provisions on billings that have been issued. Contract liabilities primarily relate to consideration received from customers prior to transferring goods or services to the customer. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in "Accounts receivable, net" and "Other current liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

During the three months ended April 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company’s contract assets ~~and~~decreased by $4,215 while contract liabilities increased by ~~$4,642 and $1,536,~~$918, respectively. The ~~increase~~change was primarily a result of the contract terms which include timing of customer payments, timing of invoicing, and progress made on open contracts. Due to the short-term nature of the Company’s contracts, substantially all contract liabilities are recognized as revenue during the twelve months thereafter. Changes in our contract assets and liabilities were as follows:


	April 30, 2020		January 31, 2020		$ Change		% Change
Contract assets	$	3,310	$	7,525	$	(4,215)	(56.0)	%

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of April 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company ~~did not have any~~has 0 remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more. Revenue recognized ~~during the three-month period ending April 30, 2019,~~ from performance obligations satisfied in the prior period during the three-month period ending April 30, 2020, were not material.

(6) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES OF AND INVESTMENTS IN BUSINESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES

Fiscal year ~~2020~~2021

There were no0 significant business acquisitions and divestitures or purchases of technologies in the three-month period ended April 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

Fiscal year ~~2019~~2020

On ~~January~~November 1, 2019,, the Company ~~completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets ("AgSync Acquisition") of AgSync~~acquired Smart Ag, Inc. ~~("AgSync"), an Indiana corporation, headquartered~~(Smart Ag). Smart Agis a technology company located in ~~Wakarusa, Indiana. This acquisition was aligned under the Company’s Applied Technology Division~~Ames, Iowa, that develops autonomous farming solutions for agriculture. Smart Agoffers aftermarket retrofit kits to automate farm equipment as well as a platform to connect, manage, and ~~is expected to enhance its Slingshot® platform by delivering a more seamless logistics solution~~safely operate autonomous agricultural machinery.

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

On November 13, 2019, the Company acquired a majority ownership in DOT. Simultaneously with acquiring this majority ownership, the Company contributed cash to DOT in exchange for ~~ag retailers, aerial applicators, custom applicators~~additional equity, making the majority ownership percentage in DOT 60% when the transaction closed. DOT is located in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, and ~~enterprise farms.~~designs autonomous agriculture solutions and manufactures a unique U-shaped agriculture platform to semi-autonomously handle a large variety of agriculture implements. The ~~AgSync Acquisition constitutes a business and, as such,~~acquisition provided noncontrolling interest shareholders various put options that, if exercised, obligated the Company to purchase their outstanding DOT shares. Due to the redemption features, the noncontrolling interest was ~~accounted for~~classified as a ~~business combination; however,~~redeemable noncontrolling interest in the ~~business combination was not significant enough to warrant pro-forma financial information.~~Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2020.

Both acquisitions aligned under the Company's Applied Technology Division and complement the division's suite of precision ag products and solutions. The aggregate purchase price was approximately ~~$9,700, which includes potential earn-out payments with an estimated fair value of $2,052. The earn-out is contingent upon achieving certain revenue milestones. The purchase price of~~$54,000 in the business acquired was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill, which is fully tax deductible. The Company completed the valuation and the purchase price allocation during the firstfourth quarter of fiscal ~~2020. This resulted in an adjustment in~~year 2020, excluding the fiscal 2020 first quarter that increased the purchase price and the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-outs payments by approximately $300. The goodwill and identifiable intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase price allocation at April 30, 2019, were $4,526 and $5,700, respectively.noncontrolling interest.

During the first quarter of fiscal ~~2019, Aerostar sold its client private business~~2021, the minority interest shareholders exercised their put options, requiring the Company to redeem the remaining noncontrolling interest in DOT. The redeemable amount of $17,172 is payable within ninety days and is classified as "Redeemable noncontrolling interest payable" in current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 30, 2020. The remaining redeemable amount, as well as the liability for ~~$832, which resulted in an immaterial gain~~the noncontrolling interest redeemed in the ~~three-months ended~~prior fiscal year, totaling approximately $4,985, is payable in November 2021 and classified as "Other Liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 30, ~~2018. In fiscal 2018, Aerostar actively marketed~~2020.

The Company completed the ~~sale~~valuation of ~~its client private business and as such, classified it as held for sale.~~

Inintangible assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company sold its ownership interest of approximately 22% in Site-Specific Technology Development Group, Inc. (SST) with a carrying value of $1,937. This investment was being accounted for as an equity method investment. Raven received $6,556 in cash at closing which was reported as "Proceeds from sale or maturity of investments"2021 and is still in the ~~Consolidated Statements~~process of ~~Cash Flows.~~completing pre-acquisition tax filings, which may impact taxes and goodwill in the measurement period. The ~~Company recognized a gain on~~following adjustments were made to the ~~sale of $5,785 for~~purchase price allocation during the ~~three-months~~three months ended April 30, ~~2018. The gain was reported in "Other income (expense), net" in~~2020:

Identifiable intangible assets acquired were primarily indefinite-lived intangible assets for in-process R&D. Amortization of these indefinite-lived intangible assets will start when the ~~Consolidated Statements of Income~~current in-process R&D project is complete and ~~Comprehensive Income. The gain included a fifteen percent hold-back provision held in an escrow account and~~the product is commercialized, which is expected to ~~be paid~~occur in fiscal ~~2020.~~2021. Amortization of the indefinite-lived intangibles will be on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated useful lives of these assets. The Company expects the useful lives will range from seven to ten years.

The following pro forma consolidated condensed financial results of operations are presented as if the acquisitions described above had been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the prior year comparative period (unaudited):

(ATS), formerly named Vista Research, Inc. or "Vista," completed in fiscal 2012.~~2015. The fair value of such contingent consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date, and subsequently at the end of each reporting period, using forecasted cash flows. Projecting future cash flows requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future events, conditions, or revenues

(7) GOODWILL, LONG-LIVED ASSETS, AND OTHER CHARGES

Goodwill

Management assesses goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and between annual tests whenever a triggering event indicates there may be an impairment. Impairment tests of goodwill are done at the reporting unit level. ~~Management performed an assessment in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and determined that no triggering events had occurred for any of the Company's reporting units.~~ There were no0 goodwill impairment losses reported in the three-month periods ending April 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit were as follows:

Long-lived Assets and Other Intangibles

The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles and property, plant, and equipment, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. For long-lived and intangible assets, management performs impairment reviews by asset group. Management periodically assesses for triggering events and discusses any significant changes in the utilization of long-lived assets. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

When performing long-lived asset testing, the fair values of assets are determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information. Such valuations are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable (Level 3 fair value measures). An impairment loss is recognized when the ~~estimated undiscounted cash flows used in determining~~carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds the fair value of the ~~asset are less than its carrying amount.~~asset.

~~Fiscal 2020 and 2019~~

Management performed an assessment in the fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 first quarter and determined that there were no impairment indicators identified for any of the Company's asset groups. There were no long-lived asset impairment losses reported in the three-month period ending April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The following table provides the gross carrying amount and related accumulated amortization of definite-lived intangible assets:

~~(11) LEASES~~

The Company enters into operating and finance lease contracts related to facilities, vehicles and equipment. Operating leases are primarily related to facilities to support production, research and development, and sales efforts. Finance leases are primarily related to vehicles and equipment to support general business operations. Lease payments are typically fixed and carry lease terms of one to six years, some of which have an option to terminate or extend up to an additional ten years. For purposes of the quantitative disclosures below related to the calculation of operating and finance leases, lease terms did not include options to terminate or extend, as2020, the Company had received $364 in contributions from WEDC and 0 repayments have been made. The outstanding liability balance is ~~reasonably certain it would not exercise the options. Most of the Company's leases do not contain a purchase option, material residual value guarantee, or material restrictive covenants.~~

The Company is primarily a lessee in all lease arrangements but may become a lessor and lease or sublease certain assets to other entities if not fully utilized. These lessor activities are not material and are not separately disclosed.

To determine whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assessed its right to control the use of the identified asset, whether explicitly or implicitly stated, for a period of time while considering all facts and circumstances for each individual arrangement. The Company also has leases with non-lease components which are separately stated within the agreement and not included in the recognition of the right-of use asset and lease liability balances.

The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the lease liabilities is based upon the implied rate within each contract. If the rate is unknown or cannot be determined, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate, which is determined by the length of the contract, asset class, and the Company's borrowing ratesreported as ~~of the commencement date of the contract.~~

Components of Company lease costs, including operating, finance, and short-term leasing are included in the table below. Depreciation of right-of-use assets, operating leases cost, and short-term lease costs are reported in net income as "Cost of sales," "Research and development expenses," or "Selling, general, and administrative expenses," depending on what business function the asset primarily supports. Interest on lease liabilities~~are classified as a non-operating expense in "Other income (expense), net"~~"Long-term debt" on the Consolidated ~~Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.~~Balance Sheets.

The Company is involved as a party in lawsuits, claims, regulatory inquiries, or disputes arising in the normal course of its business; potential costs and liabilities of which cannot be determined at this time. Management does not believe the ultimate outcomes of its legal proceedings are likely to be material to its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In addition, the Company has insurance policies that provide coverage to various degrees for potential liabilities arising from legal proceedings.

The Company entered into a Gift Agreement ("the Agreement") effective in January 2018 with the South Dakota State University Foundation, Inc. ("the Foundation"). This gift will be used ~~by South Dakota State University (SDSU), located in Brookings, SD,~~ for the establishment of a precision agriculture facility to support ~~SDSU's~~South Dakota State University's Precision Agriculture degrees and curriculum. ~~This facility will assist the Company in further collaboration with faculty, staff and students on emerging technology in support of the growing need for precision agriculture practices and tools.~~

The Agreement states that the Company

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

will make a $5,000 gift to the Foundation, conditional on certain actions. Management concluded that the contingencies related to this gift were substantially met during the three-month period ended April 30, 2018, and a liability had been incurred. ~~As such, $4,503 of selling, general, and administrative expense was recognized in the three-month period ending April 30, 2018, with interest expense to be recognized in periods thereafter.~~ The fair value of this contingency at April 30, ~~2019,~~2020, was ~~$3,230~~$2,631 (measured based on the present value of the expected future cash outflows), of which $697 was classified as "Accrued liabilities" and ~~$2,533~~$1,934 was classified as "Other liabilities." As of April 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company has made payments related to the commitment totaling ~~$1,430.~~$2,145.

The following factors were the primary drivers of the three-month year-over-year changes:

•

•Market conditions. The North American ag market continues to be negatively impacted by low commodity prices, and the pandemic has driven further uncertainty in the marketplace. Unfavorable oil prices and demand has caused a significant reduction in ethanol production which has an unfavorable impact on corn prices. These factors have reduced expected farm income, and OEMs have responded with plans for lower production of new machines. The Company anticipates these low commodity prices, and an anticipated tightening of ag lending, will likely hamper any improvement in ag market conditions throughout fiscal 2021. The Company does not model comparative market share position for its divisions, but the Company believes Applied Technology maintained or increased its market share in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

•Sales volume and selling prices. First quarter fiscal 2021 net sales increased $0.3 million or 0.7%, to $42.0 million compared to $41.7 million in the prior year. Higher sales volume, rather than a change in selling price, was the primary driver of this increase. Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 included $2.8 million of last time buy activity to a non-strategic OEM customer, which was an increase of $1.1 million versus the prior year comparative period. Strong sales development in the current quarter led to increased sales to OEMs of new and existing products

which benefited the division. However, supply chain challenges and enhanced safety precautions temporarily reduced workforce availability and precluded certain orders from being fulfilled during the first quarter.

•International sales. For the first quarter of fiscal 2021, international sales totaled $11.1 million, down 8.2% from $12.1 million in the prior year comparative period. International sales represented 26.5% of segment revenue compared to 29.1% of segment revenue in the prior year comparative period. Weaker demand in Canada and Latin America drove the decrease in net sales internationally.

•Gross margin. Gross margin decreased from 51.1% in the prior year first quarter to 48.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The year-over-year decrease in profitability for the three-month period was driven primarily by higher material and overhead costs.

^•Operating expenses. Fiscal 2021 first quarter operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was 27.1%, up from 19.4% in the prior year comparative period. This year's first quarter results included $3.8 million of Raven Autonomy^TMrelated expenses, primarily research and development investment to drive the commercialization of its autonomous ag solutions.

The U.S. ag market is experiencing a very challenging start to the 2019 growing season. Wet, cool weather and abnormal flooding in North America have delayed and shortened the 2019 planting season. This has unfavorably impacted Applied Technology, as the division's core customers, ag retailers, were limited in the amount of field application activities that could be performed during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Due to these challenging field conditions, some ag retailers expect to experience double-digit declines in sales during calendar year 2019, and this will likely impact the amount they invest in new machines or technology upgrades in the aftermarket. We expect this to impact the planned number of new machine builds for some OEMs this year. While unfavorable, these circumstances are expected to be short-term in nature, as the long-term demand for precision agriculture technology is expected to grow considerably.

•

~~Sales volume and selling prices.~~ First quarter fiscal 2020 net sales increased $1.3 million or 3.2%, to $41.7 million compared to $40.4 million in the prior year. Higher sales volume of both new and existing products, rather than a change in selling price, was the primary driver of this increase. Geographically, international sales were up 11.3% year-over-year, and domestic sales were flat year-over-year. International sales growth was driven primarily by strong growth in Latin America, particularly Brazil. The Company does not generally model comparative market share position for its divisions, but the Company believes Applied Technology has increased its market share in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

•

~~International sales.~~ For the first quarter of fiscal 2020, international sales totaled $12.1 million, up 11.3% from $10.9 million in the prior year comparative period. International sales represented 29.1% of segment revenue compared to 27.0% of segment revenue in the prior year comparative period. Strong growth in Latin America, particularly Brazil, drove the year-over-year increase. Sales to this key agricultural region are growing largely due to the investment in and establishment of the division's Latin America headquarters in Brazil in the first quarter of last year.


•	~~Gross margin.~~ Gross margin decreased from 52.4% in the prior year first quarter to 51.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The year-over-year decrease in profitability for the three-month period was driven primarily by higher material related expenses.

•

~~Operating expenses.~~ Fiscal 2020 first quarter operating expense as a percentage of net sales was 19.4%, up from 13.0% in the prior year comparative period. The increase for the three-month period was driven primarily by increased research and development investment along with integration and acquisition expenses related to the acquisition of AgSync. Additionally, prior year operating expenses benefited from favorable legal recoveries which did not repeat in the first quarter of this year.

The following factors were the primary drivers of the three-month year-over-year changes:

•

•Market conditions. In the first quarter, the pandemic and related economic slowdown drove a significant decrease in demand in the geomembrane (specifically in the energy sub-market), construction and industrial markets. Historically weak demand for oil, exacerbated by a world-wide over-supply situation, drove West Texas Intermediate prices to lows not previously realized and resulted in a 50 percent decline in rig counts within the Permian Basin. The Company expects that demand in the aforementioned markets will continue to be impacted by the current economic slowdown throughout fiscal 2021. Engineered Films has seen an increase in demand for high-value grain and silage covers within the ag market. The Company does not model comparative market share position for its divisions, but the Company believes Engineered Films maintained its market share in most of its end markets in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

•Sales volume and selling prices. First quarter net sales were $33.4 million, a decrease of $10.9 million, or 24.6%, compared to fiscal 2020 first quarter net sales of $44.3 million. The division achieved growth in the agriculture end-market; however, net sales to other end-markets were down year-over-year, which drove the significant decrease in net sales. Low demand in certain end-markets has caused selling price and volume to decline in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year. Sales volume, measured in pounds sold, decreased approximately 18% year-over-year for the three-month period ending April 30, 2020.

•Gross margin. For the three-month period ending April 30, 2020, gross margin was 12.8% and declined over 7 percentage points from 20.0% in the prior year. Negative operating leverage from lower sales volume along with lower selling prices drove the decrease in gross margin.

•Operating expenses. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 8.0% in the current year three-month period as compared to 5.6% in the prior year comparative period.

Oil prices have remained relatively strong since the start of 2019, and although Engineered Films is more diversified and less dependent on the energy market compared to recent years, the energy market still plays an important role in the division's overall success. One of the leading indicators, other than oil prices, is Permian Basin rig counts, which were relatively flat year-over-year in the first quarter. If strength in oil prices is sustained and rig counts follow, this is expected to favorably impact the division's growth in the geomembrane market in fiscal 2020. The Company does not generally model comparative market share position for its divisions, but the Company believes Engineered Films has maintained its market share in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

~~Sales volume and selling prices~~. First quarter net sales were $44.3 million, a decrease of $15.7 million, or 26.2%, compared to fiscal 2019 first quarter net sales of $60.0 million. A larger decrease in sales volume, measured in pounds sold, rather than the change in selling price was the primary driver of this year-over-year decline. Included in prior year's first quarter net sales was $8.9 million of hurricane recovery film sales which did not reoccur in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The division also went live on its new ERP platform and experienced temporary operating inefficiencies. This resulted in delays in processing and fulfilling certain orders during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the Company estimates that approximately $2.5 million in sales were pushed into future quarters as a result. Additionally, power outages caused by an ice storm resulted in an unexpected two-day plant shutdown in the first quarter. The Company estimates this shutdown reduced division sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 by approximately $2 million. Together, these temporary operational challenges are estimated to have negatively impacted first quarter net sales by approximately $4.5 million.

•

~~Gross margin.~~ For the three-month period ended April 30, 2019, gross margin was 20.0%. Gross margin for the three-month period ended April 30, 2018, was 25.3%. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin for the three-month period was primarily driven by lower sales volume, including the significant reduction in hurricane recovery film sales, and the corresponding negative operating leverage. In addition, the temporary operational challenges had an unfavorable impact to division gross margin.


•	~~Operating expenses.~~ As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 5.6% in the current year three-month period as compared to 3.3% in the prior year comparative period. The year-over-year increase was led by higher legal expenses and a decrease in sales volume.

The following factors were the primary drivers of the ~~three- and~~ three-month year-over-year changes:

•

•Market conditions. Aerostar’s markets are subject to significant variability in demand due to government spending uncertainties and the timing of contract awards. The Company does not model comparative market share position for its divisions, but the Company believes Aerostar has maintained or increased its market share in the first quarter and fiscal 2021.

•Sales volume. Net sales decreased 8.5% from $12.2 million for the three-month period ended April 30, 2019, to $11.2 million for the three-month period ended April 30, 2020. The decrease in revenue was driven by temporary delays in the execution on contracts due to Department of Defense travel restrictions.

•Gross margin. For the three-month period, gross margin decreased from 40.0% to 34.4% was primarily driven by lower sales volume and an unfavorable sales mix.

•Operating expenses. First quarter fiscal 2021 operating expense was $3.5 million, or 31.8% of net sales, an increase from 23.7% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Increased investment in R&D drove the increase in operating expenses as the division continued its investment in the advancement of its stratospheric and radar technologies.

Aerostar’s business consists of proprietary products and services to the aerospace/defense and commercial lighter-than-air markets. The Company does not generally model comparative market share position for its divisions, but the Company believes Aerostar has maintained its market share in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.


•	S~~ales volume.~~ Net sales increased 11.8% from $10.9 million for the three-month period ended April 30, 2018, to $12.2 million for the three-month period ended April 30, 2019. This increase was driven by improved stratospheric balloon and radar sales. Deliveries on the previously announced five-year $36 million radar contract drove growth in radar sales in the first quarter.


•	~~Gross margin.~~ ~~For the three-month period, gross margin increased from 33.4% to 40.0%. The increase in profitability for the three-month period was primarily due to increased leverage on higher sales volume.~~


•	~~Operating expenses.~~ First quarter fiscal 2020 operating expense was $2.9 million, or 23.7% of net sales, an increase from 7.7% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The division increased investment in research and development activities to further enhance its engineering services and flight operations capabilities.

All three of the ~~performance for the rest of the year. To the contrary, at this time the Company expects growth in both sales and operating income in each division this fiscal year.~~

~~Applied Technology’s slower start to fiscal 2020 was directly related to extremely challenging spring planting conditions and the corresponding impacts this had~~Company's divisions acted on ~~ag retailers. With that said, the division was able to endure~~ these challenges and still achieve modest revenue growth through leveraging its prior year investment in Latin America and by continuing to introduce new technologies to the marketplace. Core fundamentals remain strong for Applied Technology, and the division continues to appropriately focus on innovation and international expansion to drive market share gains regardless of end-market conditions they may face.

~~Engineered Films faced some unfortunate short-term operational challenges~~priorities during the first quarter ~~but these~~and will continue to do so throughout fiscal 2021.

Applied Technology expects to have a relatively strong year and drive year-over-year revenue growth with the strength of its product portfolio. The current year results will benefit from last time purchases from a non-strategic OEM customer, contributing to net sales growth of approximately $10 million. The Company remains confident that the division’s strong customer relationships, diverse product offering, and commitment to service, quality, and innovation will put Applied Technology in a strong position to capture opportunities in the marketplace. However, low commodity prices, declines in ethanol production, anticipated tightening of ag lending and OEM plant shutdowns will limit the division's growth during the remainder of fiscal 2021.

The economic slowdown, driven by the pandemic, negatively affected most end markets that Engineered Films serves, with the largest impacts being concentrated in the geomembrane (specifically in the energy sub-market), construction, and industrial markets. While the duration of the economic slowdown is still unknown, we are ~~temporary situations. The short-term impact~~not expecting to ~~operational efficiency~~see a recovery in the geomembrane market within fiscal 2021 and we expect a significant year-over-year decline in revenue for the division. Despite the challenges with the oil industry, the division is working diligently with our industry partners to develop innovative solutions that solve great challenges for our customers in addition to taking advantage of near-term opportunities that exist in the other markets we serve.

In Aerostar, Department of Defense travel restrictions prevented the execution on certain contracts during the first quarter and sales were delayed as a result of going live on a new ERP platform was expected. Overall, this implementation has been very successful and the division fully expects to return to pre-go-live efficiency soon and achieve even stronger efficiencies over time.result.

The underlying businesses are expected to grow with strong margins, while making key investments to enable future growth. In order to meet the Company's objective of 10 percent annual earnings growth over the long term, more aggressive investments to support the three divisions will likely be needed. The Company is actively evaluating the best opportunities for this increased resource allocation in a way that builds on the success achieved in fiscal 2019, delivers strong results in fiscal 2020 and positions the Company well for the long term.our long-term success.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's balance sheet continues to reflect significant liquidity and a strong capital base. Management focuses on the current cash balance and operating cash flows in considering liquidity, as operating cash flows have historically been the Company's primary source of liquidity. Management expects that current cash, combined with the generation of positive operating cash flows, will be sufficient to fund the Company's normal operating, investing, and financing activities beyond the next twelve months. ~~Additionally,~~In addition, the Company has a three-year, $100 million senior revolving credit facility ~~of up~~which includes a $100 million borrowing availability expansion feature. If executed, this allows the Company’s total borrowing capacity to ~~$125.0 million with~~reach $200 million. This credit facility has a maturity date of ~~April 15, 2020.~~September 20, 2022.

The Company's cash needs have minimal seasonal trends. As a result, the discussion of trends in operating cash flows focuses on the primary drivers of year-over-year variability in net working capital. Net working capital and net working capital percentage are metrics used by management as a guide in measuring the efficient use of cash resources to support business activities and growth. The Company's net working capital for the comparative periods was as follows:

Net working capital percentage ~~deteriorated 380 basis points~~was up slightly year-over-year in the first quarter of fiscal ~~2020.~~2021. However, net working capital decreased $12.6 million year-over-year in the first quarter. This year-over-year change was driven primarily by an increase in ~~inventory~~accounts payable and lower accounts receivable ~~within the Applied Technology division.~~in Engineered Films due to a decrease in net sales year-over-year.

Inventory levels ~~increased $2.8~~decreased $0.9 million, or ~~5.2%~~1.6%, year-over-year from ~~$55.2~~$58.0 million at April 30, ~~2018,~~2019, to ~~$58.0~~$57.1 million at April 30, 2020. In comparison, consolidated net sales decreased $11.7 million, or 11.9%, year-over-year in the first quarter. The decrease in inventory was primarily driven by the Engineered Films division improving operational efficiency and aligning inventory levels with corresponding expected sales.

Accounts receivable decreased $7.5 million or 11.0%, year-over-year to $60.3 million at April 30, 2020, from $67.8 million at April 30, 2019. In comparison, consolidated net sales decreased ~~$13.0~~$11.7 million, or ~~11.7%~~11.9%, year-over-year in the first quarter. ~~Applied Technology's inventory~~Lower sales volume and the timing of cash receipts were the primary drivers of the year-over-year decrease in accounts receivable.

Accounts payable increased year-over-year as the division built up inventory to support its international expansion and in preparation for the spring season in North America. However, first quarter sales in North America were less than expected due to the very challenging start to the 2019 planting season.

~~Accounts receivable increased $1.0~~$4.2 million, or ~~1.5%~~26.0%, year-over-year ~~to $67.8~~from $16.2 million at April 30, 2019, ~~from $66.8~~to $20.4 million at April 30, 2018.

The Company's subsidiaries that operate outside the United States use their local currency as the functional currency. The functional currency is translated into U.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using the period-end exchange rates, and average exchange rates for the statement of income. Cash and cash equivalents held in foreign currency (primarily Euros and Canadian dollars) totaled ~~$4.1~~$3.9 million and ~~$4.6~~ $5.3 million at April 30, ~~2019~~2020 and January 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are included as cumulative translation adjustments in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" within shareholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are recognized in the period incurred and are included in "Other income (expense), net" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency fluctuations had no material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, the Company does utilize derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on those transactions that are denominated in currency other than its functional currency, which is the U.S. dollar. Such transactions are principally Canadian dollar-denominated transactions. The use of these financial instruments had no material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.



ITEM 4.			CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, ~~2019.~~2020. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified

in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on their evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In fiscal year 2018, the Company began a multi-year transition from its legacy enterprise resources planning (ERP) system to a new ERP system. At the start of fiscal year 2020, the Company completed the migration of its Engineered Films Division to the new ERP system. In connection with this implementation, the Company updated the processes that constitute its internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate related changes in its business processes.

The Company believes it has maintained appropriate internal controls during its initial implementation period and will continue to evaluate, test and monitor its internal controls over financial reporting for effectiveness.

There were no ~~other~~ changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three-month period ended April 30, ~~2019,~~2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

RAVEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings:

The Company is involved as a party in lawsuits, claims, regulatory inquiries, or disputes arising in the normal course of its business; the potential costs and liability of which cannot be determined at this time. Management does not believe the ultimate outcomes of its legal proceedings are likely to be significant to its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

The Company has insurance policies that provide coverage to various degrees for potential liabilities arising from legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors:

The Company’s business is subject to a number of risks, including those identified in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, ~~2019,~~2020, that could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity and that could cause our operating results to vary significantly from fiscal period to fiscal period. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not ~~exhaustive. Additional~~exhaustive and additional risks we currently deem to be immaterial or are unknown to us at this time also could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and/or liquidity. The risk factor described below updates the risk factors disclosed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2020, to include additional information.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has adversely impacted, and could continue to impact the Company, including possible material adverse effects on our business, financial position, and cash flow. A second wave of COVID-19, as well as outbreaks or epidemics of other infectious diseases, may have a similar or worse impact on the Company.

Global pandemics, including the current COVID-19 pandemic, represent significant risks to the Company, our employees, suppliers, and customers and may adversely impact the Company's operations and financial results. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility and disruption in capital markets and led to a global economic slowdown. The duration, severity, and scope of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the outbreak remain highly uncertain at this time. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company's operations will depend on future developments.

The potential effects on the Company of outbreaks of infectious disease, including COVID-19, include, but are not limited to the following:

•Economic uncertainty and the potential short-term closures of customer facilities could result in reduced business and consumer spending, as well as customers in weakened financial condition. As a result, the Company may see a slowdown in customer orders, order cancellations, or the inability to collect on delivered orders, adversely affecting our financial condition.

•Instability and volatility in the credit and financial markets, could increase the cost of capital and/or limit its availability and adversely affect our ability to borrow and our financial condition.

•Potential disruptions to our supply chain, or further government actions, including shelter-in-place orders, could impact our ability to source materials, produce product, and fulfill customer orders, adversely impacting our financial condition.

•The Company could continue to be adversely impacted by travel restrictions and limitations, resulting in the inability to start or complete projects. It could also continue to restrict the Company’s ability to market new products to customers, delaying the sales launch of these products, and potentially limiting sales. Continuing or further travel restrictions and limitations could adversely impact the Company’s financial condition.

•The Company has taken proactive steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19 amongst employees, including encouraging employees to work remotely, and has been effective at preventing the spread of COVID-19 amongst employees. However, further spread of the COVID-19 virus to employees, contracted either at work or from the public, could result in the Company slowing or stopping production, impacting the ability to fulfill orders, and adversely affecting the Company’s financial condition.

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and cash flows, it may also heighten many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.
