STANDEX INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1)

Management Statement


In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations and changes in stockholders equity for the three and nine months endedMarch 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, the cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 and the financial position of Standex International Corporation (“Standex”(Standex, the “Company”Company, “we”we, “us”us, or “our”our), at March 31, 2018.2019.  The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.  The following unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes do not contain information which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended June 30, 2017.2018.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 20172018 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in particular the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017.2018.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  Unless otherwise noted, references to years are to the Company’sCompanys fiscal years.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was passed which resulted in the Company recording provisional estimates related to foreign earnings and changes in the revaluation of deferred taxes in our consolidated financial statements.  Other changes implemented by the Act will not impact the Company until the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.  The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure.  We evaluated subsequent events through the date and time our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09 requiring the recognition of excess tax benefits as a component of income tax expense which were historically recognized in equity. The fiscal results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were recast to include an immaterial tax benefit.  The results for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 have been recast to include a tax benefit of $0.6 million.  In addition, the ASU requires a prospective update to the treasury method of calculating weighted average diluted shares outstanding resulting in the inclusion of additional shares in our diluted EPS calculation for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounts Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which amends most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.  ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under ASU No. 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.In early 2016, the FASB issued additional updates: ASU No. 2016-10, 2016-11 and2016-12. These updates provide further guidance and clarification on specific items within the previously issued update.The Company anticipates it will adopt Topic 606 under the modified retrospective method and will only apply this method to contracts that are not completed as of the date of adoption.


6



Application of this method will result in a cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application for any open contracts as of the adoption date.  

The Company has established a global steering committee with a project plan to analyze the impact of this standard. The assessment phase of the project plan is on-going and includes identifying the various revenue streams, initiating contract reviews and reviewing current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from the application of the standard. This assessment includes (1) utilizing questionnaires to assist with the identification of revenue streams, (2) performing sample contract analyses for each revenue stream identified, (3) assessing the noted differences in recognition and measurement that may result from adopting this new standard, (4) performing detailed analyses of contracts with larger customers, and (5) developing plans to test transactions for consistency with contract provisions that affect revenue recognition.  

As part of the analysis phase, the committee has been analyzing the impact of the standard on its contract portfolio by reviewing a sample of its contracts to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard. The committee also has been analyzing the impact of requirements for combining contracts, performance obligations, and variable consideration.

Based on procedures performed to date, the committee has identified two areas that would likely be impacted by application of the new revenue standard.  In the Food Service Equipment segment, the Company bases volume-related rebate accruals on the achievement of certain pre-defined tiers.  The new guidance requires the Company to calculate the rebate accrual on anticipated sales for the rebate period, rather than measurement of actual achievement of specific tiers.  The Company expects to record a one-time catch up adjustment for this change upon adoption of the new standard, however the analysis of the impact is still on-going.  In Engineering Technologies, the committee is analyzing certain long-term contracts, currently recognizing revenue utilizing the point-in-time method, to determine if any of the three criteria in ASC 606-10-25-27 are being met which would require revenue to be recognized over time under the new standard.

The global steering committee is apprising both management and the audit committee of project status on a recurring basis.  The Company has not yet finalized its assessment of the impact of Topic 606.  Following the completion of the assessment phase, the Company will initiate efforts to redesign impacted processes, policies, controls and disclosures, as necessary. The Company expects to adopt this standard, as required, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning July 1, 2018. The Company does not expect to early adopt.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASC Update 2015-17,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, as part of its simplification initiatives. This update requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as non-current on the consolidated condensed balance sheet for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted.  An entity can elect adoption prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented.  We have adopted ASU 2015-17 prospectively.  As a result, we have presented all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018, but have not reclassified current deferred assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017.  There was no impact on our results of operations as a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-17.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842).  ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizingrequires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key informationrequires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements.  A modified retrospectiveIn July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements.  The updated guidance provides an optional transition approach is requiredmethod, which allows for lessees for capitalthe application of the standard as of the adoption date with no restatement of prior period amounts.  We plan to adopt the standard on July 1, 2019 under the optional transition method described above.  We have selected a lease accounting software package and are completing the accumulation of existing lease data as well as assessing the impact that the new standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements, which will consist primarily of a balance sheet gross up of our operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.  For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognizeshow equal and offsetting lease assets and lease liabilities.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. While we are continuing to assess the effect of the adoption, we currently believe the most significant potential changes relate to (i) recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for equipment and real estate operating leases, and (ii) the derecognition of existing assets and liabilities for certain


7



sale-leaseback transactions that currently do not qualify for sale accounting.  The Company anticipates the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements dueDue to the materiality of the underlying leases subject to the new guidance, we anticipate the adoption will have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements, however we are unable to quantify that effect until our analysis is complete.  


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test.  Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  ASU 2017-04 also clarifies the requirements for excluding and allocating foreign currency translation adjustments to reporting units related to an entity's testing of reporting units for goodwill impairment.  It further clarifies that an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.  ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-04 on our goodwill impairment testing procedures and our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07,Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. The new guidance requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost to be presented in the same income statement line items as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Other components of the net periodic benefit cost are to be stated separately from service cost and outside of operating income. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (fiscal 2019 for the Company) and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendment is to be applied retrospectively. The provisions of the new standard will impact the classification. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures and expects to adopt this standard, as required, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning July 1, 2018.


In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815);, Targeting Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’sentitys risk management activities in its financial statements and to make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance.  The new guidance requires additional disclosures including cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges and the effect of hedging on individual income statement line items.items along with providing new alternatives for applying hedge accounting to additional hedging strategies and measuring the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (fiscal 2020 for the Company), and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The amendment is to be applied prospectively.  TheGiven the improvements made to the application of hedge accounting under the guidance, the Company is in the preliminary stages of assessing the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-12 on our consolidated financial statements.  

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects resulting from "An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018" (the "Act") that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. This ASU, however, does not change the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. ASU 2018-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. It must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Act is recognized.

3)Revenue From Contracts With Customers

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard, ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of June 30, 2018.  We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, whereby the cumulative impact of all prior periods is recorded in retained earnings or other impacted balance sheet line items upon adoption.  The comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605.  The impact on the Companys



3



consolidated income statements, balance sheets, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date as a result of applying ASC 606 have been reflected within those respective financial statements.


Under the Companys historical accounting policies, non-developmental long-term contracts were recognized when the goods were transferred to the customer.  Upon adoption, contracts for highly customized customer products that have no alternative use and in which the contract specifies the Company has a right to payment for its costs, plus a reasonable margin met the requirements for recognition over time under ASC 606.  Additionally, under the Companys historical accounting policies, the Food Service Equipment segment estimated the rebate accrual based on a volume-related method for rebates.  Under ASC 606, the Company now calculates the rebate accrual on anticipated sales for the rebate period, rather than measurement of actual achievement of specific tiers.



Upon adoption, we recognized a reduction to retained earnings of $1.0 million which is comprised of (i) a net change for Engineering Technologies of $0.7 million in revenues offset by cost of sales increase of $0.6 million; and (ii) a $1.5 million adjustment for accrued rebates in the Food Service Equipment segment.  The details of the adjustments to retained earnings upon adoption on June 30, 2018 as well as the effects on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, as if ASC 606 had been adopted in our 2018 fiscal year are as follows:

Contract Balances


Contract assets represent sales recognized in excess of billings related to work completed but not yet shipped for which revenue is recognized over time.  Contract assets are recorded as accounts receivable.

Contract liabilities are customer deposits for which revenue has not been recognized.  Current contract liabilities are recorded as accrued expenses.


The following table provides information about contract assets and liability balances as of March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections results in billed receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.


When consideration is received from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded.  Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the goods and services are transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Fair Value Measurements


The financial instruments shown below are presented at fair value.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters.  Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models may be applied.



Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values.  Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities and the methodologies used in valuation are as follows:


Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.  The Company’sCompanys deferred compensation plan assets consist of shares in various mutual funds (for the deferred compensation plan,



5



investments are participant-directed) which invest in a broad portfolio of debt and equity securities.  These assets are valued based on publicly quoted market prices for the funds’funds shares as of the balance sheet dates.


Level 2 Inputs, other than quoted prices in an active market, that are observable either directly or indirectly through correlation with market data.  For foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps, the Company values the instruments based on the market price of instruments with similar terms, which are based on spot and forward rates as of the balance sheet dates.  The Company has considered the creditworthiness of counterparties in valuing all assets and liabilities.


Level 3 Unobservable inputs based upon the Company’sCompanys best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.


There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between any levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy at March 31, 20182019 and June 30, 2017.2018.  The Company’sCompanys policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the date they occur.


Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.


Items presented at fair value at March 31, 20182019 and June 30, 20172018 consisted of the following (in thousands):

(a)  The fair value of our contingent consideration arrangement is determined based on our evaluation as to the probability and amount of any deferred compensation that has been earned to date.


Our financial liabilities based upon Level 3 inputs include aconsist of contingent consideration arrangementarrangements relating to our acquisitionacquisitions of Horizon Scientific.Scientific and Piazza Rosa.  We are contractually obligated to pay contingent consideration payments in connection with the Horizon Scientific acquisition based on the criteria of continued employment of the seller on the second and third anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition.  We are contractually obligated to pay contingent consideration payments in connection with the Piazza Rosa acquisition based on the achievement of certain revenue targets during each of the first three years following acquisition.  Piazza Rosa exceeded the defined revenue targets during the first year and a payment was made to the Piazza Rosa sellers during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.  The seller of Horizon remained employed on the second anniversary of the closing date and a payment was made to the seller in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.  We will update our assumptions each reporting period based on new developments and record such amounts at fair value based on the revised assumptions until the consideration is paid.

Contingent acquisition payment liabilities are scheduled to be paid in periods through fiscal year 2020.  As of March 31, 2018, we could be required to pay up to $8.4 million for contingent consideration arrangements if specific criteria are achieved. We have determined the fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future payments was based on several factors, the most significant of which are continued employment of the seller and the risk-adjusted discount rate for the fair value measurement.  As of March 31, 2018,2019, neither the amount recognized for the contingent consideration arrangement, nor the range of outcomes ornor the assumptions used to develop the estimate had changed.


4)Inventories5)

Discontinued Operations


In pursuing our business strategy, the Company continues to divest certain businesses and record activities of these businesses as discontinued operations.


During the first quarter of 2019, in order to focus its financial assets and managerial resources on its remaining portfolio of businesses, the Company decided to divest its Cooking Solutions Group, which consisted of three operating segments and a minority interest investment.  In connection with the divestiture, during the second quarter of 2019, the Company sold its minority interest investment to the majority shareholders.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the three operating segments to the Middleby Corporation for a cash purchase price of $105 million, subject to post-closing adjustments and various transaction fees.  


The transaction closed on March 31, 2019 and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $20.5 million less related transaction expenses of $4.4 million.  The Company reported a tax benefit related to the sale due to the write-off of deferred tax liabilities related to the Cooking Solutions Group.  Because the transaction closed on a non-business day, cash proceeds related to the sale were not received until the next business day which resulted in a receivable of $106.9 million recorded at quarter end.  The receivable from the buyer is recorded as a component of current assets discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019.  The proceeds received were subsequently used to pay down borrowings on our revolving credit facility.


Results of the Cooking Solutions Group in current and prior periods have been classified as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and excluded from the results from continuing operations.  Activity related to the Cooking Solutions Group and other discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in thousands):

Bank Credit Agreements


During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015,2019, the Company entered into ana five-year Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“(Credit Facility”Facility, or “facility”facility).  This five-year Credit Facility expires in December 2019 andThe facility has a borrowing limit of $500 million which is an increase of $100 million from the prior facilitys $400 million whichlimit.  The facility can be increased by an amount of up to $100$250 million, in accordance with specified conditions contained in the agreement.  The facility also includes a $10 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $30$35 million sublimit for letters of credit.  


At March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had standby letters of credit outstanding, primarily for insurance purposes, of $8.9$7.4 million and had the ability to borrow $186.1$175.9 million under the facility.  At March 31, 2018,2019, the carrying value of the current borrowings under the facility approximates fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments


In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); Targeting Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entitys risk management activities in its financial statements and to make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance.  Given the improvements made to the application of hedge accounting under the guidance, the Company has decided to early adopt the ASU in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, or on December 1, 2018.  As of the adoption date, the Company had both foreign currency swaps and interest rate swaps which are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges with no hedge ineffectiveness historically recorded.  As the Company had historically determined its foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to be perfectly effective it did not record any hedge ineffectiveness in earnings related to the swaps historically or on the initial application date.  Therefore, there is no cumulative-effect adjustment necessary to apply this change in accounting principle.  In addition to the above, the Company reviewed the ASU and identified no other provisions of the standard which would result in a quantitative impact as a result of applying the new guidance.


Interest Rate Swaps


From time to time as dictated by market opportunities, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements designed tomanage exposure to interest rates on the Company’sCompanys variable rate indebtedness.  The Company recognizes all derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value.  The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreements, including those that are forward-dated, as cash flow hedges, and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings.  Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swaps will be reported by the Company in interest expense.  


The Company’sCompanys effective swap agreements convert the base borrowing rate on $75$85 million of debt due under our revolving credit agreement from a variable rate equal to LIBOR to a weighted average fixed rate of 1.74%2.11% at March 31, 2018.2019.  The fair value of the swaps, recognized in accrued expenses and in other comprehensive income, is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

The Company reported no losses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018,2019, as a result of hedge ineffectiveness.  Future changes in these swap arrangements, including termination of the agreements, may result in a reclassification of any gain or loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense.  Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to these instruments is being amortized into interest expense concurrent with the hedged exposure.


Foreign Exchange Contracts


Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit the impact of currency fluctuations on certain anticipated foreign cash flows, such as collections from customers and loan payments between subsidiaries.  The Company enters into such contracts for hedging purposes only.  The Company has designated certain of these currency contracts as hedges, and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings.  Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with these contracts will be reported in net income.  At March 31, 20182019 and June 30, 2017,2018, the Company



7



had outstanding forward contracts related to hedges of intercompany loans with net unrealized gain (losses)losses of $(6.0)$(3.7) million and $(2.8)$(2.9) million, respectively, which approximate the unrealized gains and losses on the related loans.  The contracts have maturity dates ranging from 2018-2023,2019-2023, which correspond to the related intercompany loans.  


Net Investment Hedges

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the exposure to a portion of the Companys net investments in certain non-U.S. subsidiaries against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar.  The change in the fair value of the net investment hedges attributable to changes other than those due to fluctuations in the spot rate are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and that difference is reported directly in earnings.  The interest rate differential of the net investment hedges will be excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and amortized linearly to earnings over the life of the derivative.  Any difference between the change in fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized in earnings under that systematic and rational method shall be recognized in other comprehensive income.  


For the derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive loss where they offset gains and losses recorded on the Companys net investments in its non-U.S. subsidiaries.  These hedges are determined to be effective.  During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $0.4 million of gains associated with hedges of a net investment in non-U.S. subsidiaries in currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive loss.  The contractual amount of the Companys foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as net investment hedges is $120.0 million as of March 31, 2019.

The Company expects to pay $6.9 million in contributions to its defined benefit plans during fiscal 2018. Contributions of $0.3 million and $0.8 million were made during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $0.3 million and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively. Required contributions of $0.9 million will be paid to the Company’s U.K. defined benefit plan during 2018. The Company expects to make contributions during the current fiscal year of $0.2 million and $0.3 million to its unfunded defined benefit plans in the U.S. and Germany respectively. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company made a $5.5 million contribution to its defined benefit plan in the U.S. to accelerate tax benefits afforded to the Company by recent tax law changes.13)

11)Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed which, among other things, reduces the federal corporate tax rate to 21.0% effective for taxable years starting on or after January 1, 2018.  The Company is using a blended federal rate of 28.0% for the year ending June 30, 2018.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company reported provisional amounts for toll/transition tax and the change in the U.S. deferred tax.  Pursuant to SEC guidance provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company is utilizing the measurement period approach for the income tax effects of tax reform for which the accounting is incomplete.  During the current quarter ending March 31, 2018, the Company updated the impact of the tax law as follows:

The Company has discretely recorded an additional charge of approximately $178 thousand to its provision for income taxes for the quarter ending March 31, 2018 due to a revaluation of the Company's estimated deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017. The increase was a result of a change in the estimated current year activity from the prior quarter for a total year-to date impact of approximately $1.4 million.  As in the prior quarter, the impact is based on estimated amounts for the current quarter. 

The Company has discretely recorded a tax benefit of approximately $633 thousand to its provision for income taxes for the quarter ending March 31, 2018 related to a mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. The benefit was the result of updating the calculation based on the federal tax return filed in the quarter that was partially offset by an estimated tax provision for state taxes on the impact of the deemed repatriation for a total year-to date impact of approximately $13.1 million.  The Company is still using an estimate because the calculation involves data from a future period (June 30, 2018) and  


18



the Company is awaiting further guidance from the tax authorities regarding the technical application of the rules. Under the Act, the Company is permitted to pay this tax over an eight-year period commencing with the due date of the 2018 tax return.   

Since these provisions during the quarter are still based on estimates, the Company will continue to measure the impact of these areas and record any changes in subsequent quarters when information and guidance become available.  

Other law changes implemented by the Act such as the repeal of the Section 199 manufacturing deduction, changes to the calculation for Section 162(m) executive compensation deduction, interest deduction limitation and Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI), and others will not have any impact on the Company until the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. The Company will continue to monitor guidance regarding these changes for how it will impact the financial statements in later periods.


The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for the third quarter of 20182019 was 23.4%34.4% compared with 27.3%23.8% for the prior year quarter.  The effective tax rate in 20182019 was higher due to both an approximately $0.5 million discrete tax benefit related to the US tax reform and a higher benefit related to a true-up for the filed tax return recorded in the periodprior year quarter and not in the current year quarter as well as withholding taxes included in the annual effective tax rate for foreign repatriation in the current quarter that was not included in the rate in the prior year quarter.

 

The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 20182019 was 54.4%28.4% compared with 24.1%57.7% for the prior year.  The effective tax rate for theprior year to date was higher due to net discretethe impact of the Sec. 965 repatriation toll tax reform charges of $14.6 millionthat was included in the prior year (recorded in FY18 Q2) and not recorded in the current year and notyear.  


The Company increased its uncertain tax position during the quarter due to technical positions taken on the FY18 tax return filed during the quarter concerning the impact of the mandatory repatriation.  The expense related to this position was recorded in the prior year.year and resulted in a balance sheet reclass only.

Overview


We are a leading manufacturer of a variety of products and provide services for diverse commercial and industrial markets.  We have twelve operating segments, aggregated and organized for reporting purposes into five reportable segments:  Food Service Equipment, Engraving, Engineering Technologies, Electronics and Hydraulics.  Overall management, strategic development and financial control are maintainedled by the executive staff fromat our corporate headquarters located in Salem, New Hampshire.  During the third quarter of 2019, we completed the previously announced divestiture of our Cooking Solutions Group consistent with our strategy to focus our financial assets and managerial resources on our higher growth and operating margin businesses.  The divestiture of the Cooking Solutions Group was completed as of March 31, 2019 and consideration was exchanged on April 1.  Subsequent to the disposition, we now have nine operating business units.  


Our long-term strategy is to buildcreate, improve, and enhance shareholder value by building larger, more profitable industrial platforms through a value creation system that assists management in meeting specific corporate and business unit financial and strategic performance goals in ordergoals.  In so doing, we expect to create, improve,focus our financial assets and enhance shareholder value.managerial resources on our higher growth and operating margin businesses while considering divestiture of those businesses that we feel are not strategic or do not meet our growth and return expectations.  The Standex Value Creation System is a standard methodology which provides consistent tools used throughout the company in order to achieve our organization’sorganizations goal of transforming from its historic roots as a holding company to an efficient operating company.  The Standex Value Creation System employs four components: Balanced Performance Plan,



12



Standex Growth Disciplines, Standex Operational Excellence, and Standex Talent Management.  The Balanced Performance Plan process aligns annual goals throughout the business and provides a standard reporting, management and review process.  It is focused onprocess by setting and meeting annual and quarterly targets that support our short and long-term goals.  The Standex Growth Disciplines use a set of tools and processes including market maps, growth lane ways, and market tests to identify opportunities to expand the business organically and through acquisitions.  Standex Operational Excellence employs a standard playbook and processes, including LEAN, to eliminate waste and improve profitability, cash flow and customer satisfaction.  Finally, the Standex Talent Management process is an organizational development process that provides training, development, and succession planning for our


24



employees throughout our worldwide organization.  The Standex Value Creation System ties all disciplines in the organization together under a common umbrella by providing standard tools and processes to deliver our business objectives.Through the use of our Standex Value Creation System, we have developed a balanced approach to value creation.  While we intend to continue investing acquisition capital in high growth segments such as Electronics and Engraving, we will continue to support all of our businesses as they enhance value through deployment of our GDP+ and OpEx playbooks.


It is our objective to grow largerinvest in our higher growth and more profitable business unitsoperating margin businesses through both organic initiatives and acquisitions.  WeOrganically, we seek to identify and implement organic growth initiatives such as new product development, geographic expansion, and the introduction of products and technologies into new markets and applications, key accounts and strategic sales channel partners.  Also,Inorganically, we have a long-term objectivelook to create sizable business platforms by addingadd strategically aligned or “bolt on”bolt on acquisitions to strengthen the individualthese core businesses, createcreating both sales and cost synergies with our core business platforms, and accelerateaccelerating their growth and margin improvement.  We look to create both sales and cost synergies within our core business platforms, accelerate growth and improve margins.  We have a particular focus on identifying and investing in opportunities that complement our products and will increase the global presence and capabilities of our core businesses.  From time to time, we have divested, and likely will continue to divest, businesses that we feel are not strategic or do not meet our growth and return expectations. divest.


As part of our ongoing strategy,strategy:


·

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company decided to divest its Cooking Solutions Group, which consisted of three operating segments, Associated American Industries, BKI, and Ultrafryer, and a minority interest investment.  During the third quarter of 2019, we completed this divestiture.  In connection with the divestiture efforts, we also sold our minority interest in a European oven manufacturer back to the majority owners.  Results of the Cooking Solutions Group in current and prior periods have been classified as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


·

In September 2018, we acquired New Hampshire-based Regional Mfg. Specialists, Inc. (now named Agile Magnetics, Inc.), a provider of high-reliability magnetics.  The addition of Agile Magnetics is an important step forward in building out the high reliability magnetics business of Standex Electronics.  As a result of this combination, we have broadened our exposure to several high-growth end-markets and added a valuable manufacturing and sales base in the Northeast.  Additionally, we can now offer complementary products from Standexs broader portfolio to Agiles customer base.  Agile Magnetics products include transformers, inductors and coils for mission critical applications for blue chip OEMs in the semiconductor, military, aerospace, healthcare, and industrial markets.  It operates one manufacturing facility in New Hampshire.


·

In August 2018, we acquired Michigan-based Tenibac-Graphion, Inc. (Tenibac-Graphion), a provider of chemical and laser texturing services.  The combination of Tenibac-Graphion and Standex Engraving will expand services available to customers, increase responsiveness to customer demands, and drive innovative approaches to solving customer needs.  The combined customer base now has access to the full line of mold and tool services, such as the Architexture design consultancy, Vycon part wrapping, chemical and laser engraving, tool finishing, and tool enhancements.  Tenibac-Graphion serves automotive, packaging, medical and consumer products customers, and operates three facilities, two in Michigan and one in China.


·

We acquired Italy-based Piazza Rosa Group (“(Piazza Rosa”Rosa). in July 2017.  The privately held company is a leading provider of mold, tool treatment and finishing services for the automotive and consumer products markets.Themarkets.  The combination of these competencies with Standex Engraving’sEngravings worldwide presence and texturizing capabilities creates a global tool finishing service leader.  The



13



acquisition also opens additional opportunities in the broader surface engineering market.  The Piazza Rosa Group’sGroups results are reported within our Engraving segment.

During our third quarter of fiscal year 2017, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Oki Sensor Device Corporation from Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.  Located in Kofu City, Japan, Oki Sensor Device Corporation is the world’s leading designer and supplier of magnetic reed switches.  Now named Standex Electronics Japan Corporation, (“Standex Electronics Japan”) the acquisition enhances the Company’s access to important Asian markets and enables the Company to offer a world class suite of reed switches and related magnetic solutions while continuing to serve Standex Electronics Japan’s diverse distribution channels.  Standex Electronics Japan’s results are reported within our Electronics segment.   

We develop “Customer Intimacy”create Customer Intimacy by utilizing the Standex Growth Disciplines to partner with our customers in order to develop and deliver custom solutions or engineered components.  By partnering with our customers during long-term product development cycles, we become an extension of their development teams.  Through this Partner, Solve, Deliver® methodology, we are able to secure our position as a preferred long-term solution provider for our products services and components.  This strategy resultsis designed to result in increased sales and operating margins that enhance shareholder returns.

Standex Operational Excellence drives continuous improvement in the efficiency of our businesses, both on the shop floor and in the office environment.  We recognize that our businesses are competing in a global economy that requires us to improve our competitive position.  We have deployed a number of management competencies to drive improvements in the cost structure of our business units including operational excellence through lean enterprise, the use of low cost manufacturing facilities in countries such as Mexico and China, the consolidation of manufacturing facilities to achieve economies of scale and leveraging of fixed infrastructure costs, alternate sourcing to achieve procurement cost reductions, and capital improvements to increase productivity.


25



The Company’sCompanys strong historical cash flow has been a cornerstone for funding our capital allocation strategy.  We use cash flow generated from operations to fund the strategic growth programs described above, including acquisitions and investments for organic growth, investments in capital assets to improve productivity and lower costs and to return cash to our shareholders through payment of dividends and stock buybacks.

Restructuring expenses reflect costs associated with our efforts to continuously improve operational efficiency and expand globally in order to remain competitive in the end-user markets we serve.  We incur costs for actions to size our businesses to a level appropriate for current economic conditions, improve our cost structure, enhance our competitive position and increase operating margins.  Such expenses may include costs for moving facilities to locations that allow for lower fixed and variable costs, external consultants who provide additional expertise, starting up plants after relocation, downsizing operations because of changing economic conditions, and other costs resulting from asset redeployment decisions.  Shutdown costs include severance, benefits, stay bonuses, lease and contract terminations, asset write-downs, costs of moving fixed assets, and moving and relocation costs.  Vacant facility costs include maintenance, utilities, property taxes and other costs.

 

Because of the diversity of the Company’sCompanys businesses, end user markets and geographic locations, management doeswe do not use specific external indices to predict the future performance of the Company, other than general information about broad macroeconomic trends.  Each of our individual business units serves niche markets and attempts to identify trends other than general business and economic conditions which are specific to its business and which could impact theirits performance.  Those units report pertinent information to senior management, which uses it to the extent relevant to assess the future performance of the Company.  A description of any such material trends is described below in the applicable segment analysis.


We monitor a number of key performance indicators (“KPIs”(KPIs) including net sales, income from operations, backlog, effective income tax rate, gross profit margin, and operating cash flow.  A discussion of these KPIs is included below.  We may also supplement the discussion of these KPIs by identifying the impact of foreign exchange rates, acquisitions, and other significant items when they have a material impact on a specific KPI.  

We believe the discussion of these items provides enhanced information to investors by disclosing their impact on the overall trend which provides a clearer comparative view of the KPI, as applicable.  For discussion of the impact of foreign exchange rates on KPIs, the Company calculates the impact as the difference between the current period KPI calculated at the current period exchange rate as compared to the KPI calculated at the historical exchange rate for the prior period.  For discussion of the impact of acquisitions, we isolate the effect on the KPI amount that would have existed regardless of our acquisition.  Sales resulting from synergies between our acquisitions and existing operations of the Company are considered organic growth for the purposes of our discussion.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2019 increased by $3.4 million, or 10.0%, when compared to the prior year quarter.  Organic sales increased by $1.0 million, or 3.0%.   Acquisitions contributed $4.6 million, or 13.6% partially offset by a negative foreign exchange impact of $2.2 million, or 6.6%, during the quarter.  New product offerings of nickel shell, laser engraving, Architexture, and tool finishing all realized increased sales of 39% which were partially offset by lower sales in traditional services.  We anticipate another challenging quarter as fewer new automotive platforms are forecasted to be launched.  However, the Company expects demand in both the automotive and non-automotive markets to rebound beginning in the first fiscal quarter of 2020 as there are a number of scheduled new product launches by customers which should lead to increased sales in all regions.


Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 increased by $11.1 million, or 11.1%, when compared to the prior year.  The Tenibac acquisition contributed $14.2 million, or 14.1% to the groups overall sales increases for



17



the year.  Foreign exchange had a negative impact of 4.6%, or $4.7 million.  New service offerings within the group including tool finishing, laser engraving, Architexture, and nickel shell all had a positive impact on organic growth and helped offset declines in traditional services. 


Income from operations for the third quarter of 2019 decreased by $2.7 million, or 37.7%, when compared to the prior year.  The decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable geographic mix, lower automotive sales in North America, reduced demand at our higher profit China facilities due to concerns regarding trade conflicts, and the increased costs associated with the integration process following the Tenibac acquisition.  Due to the lower profitability in the quarter, we have announced a restructuring program to close underperforming sites and reduce administrative headcount.  We anticipate that these actions will save $2.7 million on an annual basis upon completion of the activities.  


Income for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by $2.9 million, or 13.1%.  Profitability within the group for the year has been negatively impacted as customers of our China locations have been negatively impacted by a reduction in their export demand due to the impact of tariffs.  The Engraving group is investing in and promoting new technologies that we anticipate will facilitate improved operating income results in future quarters as these technologies are implemented throughout our worldwide Engraving network.

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 decreased $1.0 million, or 2.0%, when compared to the prior year quarter.  Organic growth declined 4.8% partially offset by acquisition growth of 6.0%.  Currency impacts reduced sales by $1.6 million, or 3.2%.  Sales were down in Europe and Asia and mostly flat in North America as geographic softness was partially offset by new business.  Growth was strong in the industrial markets but offset by weakness due to tariffs and reduced demand in automotive and distribution markets.  We anticipate a challenging sales comparison in the fourth quarter as bookings are down in all regions partially offset by new business opportunities in our product pipeline.


Net sales for the first nine months ended March 31, 2019 increased $10.3 million, or 7.1%, when compared to the prior year.  Sales increased $6.2 million, or 4.3%, due to the Agile Magnetics acquisition.  The currency effect decreased sales by $2.9 million, or 2.0%.  Organic sales growth was $6.9 million, or 4.8% for the first nine months when compared to the prior year as sales in all major geographic areas during the first two quarters of the fiscal year were higher with growth mostly in industrial and distribution markets.   


Income from operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 decreased $1.8 million, or 16.1%, when compared to the prior year quarter.  The earnings decrease was due to product mix and increased expenses such as materials cost and wage inflation partially offset by various operating efficiency initiatives.  In anticipation of lower demand, we have initiated a restructuring program to reduce administrative headcount which will cost approximately $0.5 million and generate savings of $1.1 million per year upon implementation.  


Income from operations for the first nine months ended March 31, 2019, increased $0.8 million, or 2.5%, when compared to the prior year.  The increase is due to the profit on sales volume increases as well as operating cost savings initiatives partially offset by material and wage inflationary cost increases and product mix.  The Company currently expects sales for the calendar year will remain at levels similar to those in the fiscal third quarter.  As a result, Standex has initiated efforts focused on G&A expense reduction as well as actions targeting increased productivity and reduced material spend.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2019 decreased $7.0 million or 9.9% when compared to the prior year quarter. Organic sales growth declined 9.4% while foreign exchange had a negative 0.5% effect on sales.  The organic sales decrease was driven by our Refrigeration business where sales declined over 17.3% primarily due to three factors: lower volume in the retail channel (drug, retail, and dollar stores), slow market conditions for non-buying group dealers, and reduced sales to large chains.  The Refrigeration sales declines were partially offset by sales gains of 13.3% in Scientific due to new product launches. Standex expects a sequential, seasonal revenue increase in the next quarter, but with continued weakness in Refrigeration.  In addition, the Company continues to pursue productivity improvements to address the current market conditions.  The Company is also actively pursuing new Refrigeration business opportunities as well as continuing to promote its new Scientific, pump and display merchandizer product offerings.

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $17.0 million or 7.7% from the same period last year.  The Refrigeration group experienced a 14.8% sales decrease in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 due to a lower number of scheduled store remodels and higher number of store closures in addition to the factors described above.  Additionally, pump business sales have declined as compared to prior year due to sales decreases in the European espresso market.  Sales declines in Refrigeration and the pump business were partially offset by Scientific sales increases of 12.1% due to increased sales to retail pharmacy customers.

Income from operations decreased $2.0 million or 35.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.  The decrease in operating income is primarily due to decreased sales volume and cost structure issues within the Refrigeration business, which are being addressed.

Income from operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $4.4 million or 22.3% from the same period in the prior year.  This reflected a combination of decreased volume, higher material prices in the pump business, and cost structure issues in Refrigeration which we are addressing through a consolidation of certain production facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


At March 31, 2018,2019, our total cash balance was $96.3$96.0 million, of which $87.3$78.5 million was held by foreign subsidiaries.  During the year, we have repatriated $43.2 million to the United States from our foreign subsidiaries.  The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to capital controls; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations.  


Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2018,2019, was $28.8$25.0 million compared to net cash provided by continuing operating activities of $31.5$26.9 million in the prior year.  We generated $59.2$59.5 million from income statement activities and used $25.4$34.5 million of cash to fund working capital and other balance sheet increases.  Cash flow used in continuing investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2018,2019 totaled $28.0$112.1 million.  Uses of investing cash consisted primarily of capital expenditures of $21.4$17.8 million and $10.4$96.8 million for Piazza Rosathe acquisitions of Agile and other acquisition activities.  These uses of investing cash were partially offset by $2.2 million from proceeds of life insurance and $1.4 million from the net proceeds of the sale of a building in Cincinnati, Ohio.  We leased back the Cincinnati, Ohio building and, as a result of the transaction, recorded a $0.7 million deferred gain that will be

TheDuring the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company entered into a five-year Amended itsand Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Facility”(credit agreement, or “facility”facility) in December 2014.  This five-year Credit Facility.  The facility has a borrowing limit of $500 million which is an increase of $100 million from the prior facilitys $400 million whichlimit.  The facility can be increased by an amount of up to $100$250 million, in accordance with specified conditions.conditions contained in the agreement.  The facility also includes a $10 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $30$35 million sublimit for letters of credit.


Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we will pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee on borrowed amounts as well as a commitment fee on unused amounts under the facility.  The amount of the commitment fee will depend upon both the undrawn amount remaining available under the facility and the Company’sCompanys funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) ratio at the last day of each quarter.  As our funded debt to EBITDA ratio increases, the commitment fee will increase.  


Funds borrowed under the facility may be used for the repayment of debt, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions (so long as certain conditions, including a specified funded debt to EBITDA leverage ratio is maintained), and other general corporate purposes.  The facility contains customary representations, warranties and restrictive covenants, as well as specific financial covenants.  A significant drop in our adjusted earnings (as defined in our Credit Facility) would limit the amount of indebtedness that could be outstanding at the end of any fiscal quarter which could hinder our ability to make acquisitions or otherwise limit our long-term growth prospects.  Failure to comply with this covenant could result in an acceleration of the debt maturity.  As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company has used $8.9$7.4 million against the letter of credit sub-facility and had the ability to borrow $186.1$175.9 million under the facility based on our current trailing twelve-month EBITDA.  The Company’sfacility contains customary representations, warranties and



20



restrictive covenants, as well as specific financial covenants.  The Companys current financial covenants under the facility are as follows:


Interest Coverage Ratio - The Company is required to maintain a ratio of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, as Adjusted (“(Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility”Facility), to interest expense for the trailing twelve months of at least 2.75:1, an improvement over the interest coverage ratio of 3.0:1.1 permitted under the previous agreement.  Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility specifically excludes extraordinary and certain other defined items such as cash restructuring and acquisition-related charges up to the lower of $20.0 million or 10% of EBITDA, an increase from the prior agreements $7.5 million andcap on restructuring expenses.  The new facility continues to allow unlimited non-cash charges including purchase accounting and goodwill adjustments.  At March 31, 2018,2019, the Company’sCompanys Interest Coverage Ratio was 11.97:8.22:1.


Leverage Ratio - The Company’sCompanys ratio of funded debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA per the facility,Credit Facility, calculated as Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility plus depreciation and amortization, may not exceed 3.5:1.  Under certain circumstances in connection with a Material Acquisition (as defined in the Facility), the Facility allows for the leverage ratio to go as high as 4.0:1 for a four-fiscal quarter period.  At March 31, 2018,2019, the Company’sCompanys Leverage Ratio was 1.84:2.02:1.


As of March 31, 2018,2019, we had borrowings under our facility of $205.0$293.0 million and the effective rate of interest for outstanding borrowings under the facility was 2.98%3.71%.  Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on April 1st, we collected $106.9 million in connection with the sale of our Cooking Solutions Group and substantially all of these proceeds were used to repay borrowings under our facility.  


Our primary cash requirements in addition to day-to-day operating needs include interest payments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases, and dividends.  Our primary sources of cash for these requirements are cash flows from continuing operations and borrowings under the facility.  We expect 2018fiscal year 2019 capital spending to be between $28.0$35.0 and $30.0$36.0 million which includes amounts not spent in 2017fiscal year 2018 and includes between $2.4 and $2.2$0.8 million for our recent acquisition in Italy.  acquisitions.  We also expect that fiscal year 2018 depreciation and amortization expense will be between $21.0$21.5 and $22.0$22.5 million and $8.0$8.5 and $9.0$9.5 million, respectively.


In order to manage our interest rate exposure, we are party to $75.0$85.0 million of active floating to fixed rate swaps.  These swaps convert our interest payments from LIBOR to a weighted average rate of 1.74%2.11%.

We sponsor a number of defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans.  The U.S. pension plan is frozen for substantially all participants.  We have evaluated the current and long-term cash requirements of these plans, and our existing sources of liquidity are expected to be sufficient to cover required contributions under ERISA and other governing regulations.


The fair value of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plan assets was $192.7$183.6 million at March 31, 2018,2019, as compared to $195.3$191.0 million at the most recent measurement date, which occurred as of June 30, 2017.2018.  The next measurement date to determine plan assets and benefit obligations will be on June 30, 2018.2019.

The Company expects to pay $6.9$1.3 million in contributions to its defined benefit plans during fiscal 2018.2019.  Contributions of $0.3 million and $0.8 million were made during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $0.3andninemonths endedMarch31, 2019equaltothe$0.3 million and $1.0$0.8 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017,andninemonths endedMarch31, 2018, respectively.  Required contributions of $0.8 million will be paid to the Company’sCompanys U.K. defined benefit plan during 2018.2019.  The Company also expects to make contributions during the current fiscal year of $0.2 million and $0.3 million to its unfunded defined benefit plans in the U.S. and Germany, respectively.

We have an insurance program in place to fund supplemental retirement income benefits for five retired executives.  Current executives and new hires are not eligible for this program.  At March 31, 2018,2019, the underlying policies had a cash surrender value of $17.1$17.8 million and are reported net of loans of $8.6$8.7 million for which we have the legal right of offset, these amounts are reported net on our balance sheet.offset.



Other Matters


Inflation Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, occupancy costs and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary pressures.  Inflation for medical costs can impact both our reserves for self-insured medical plansemployee benefit costs as well as our reserves for workers' compensation claims.  We monitor the inflationary rate and make adjustments to reserves whenever it is deemed necessary.  Our ability to managecontrol worker compensation insurance medical costscost inflation is dependent upon our ability to manage claims and purchase insurance coverage to limit the maximum exposure for us.  Each of our segments is subject to the effects of changing raw material costs caused by the underlying commodity price movements.  In general, we do not enter into purchase contracts that extend beyond one operating cycle.  While Standex considers our relationship with our suppliers to be good, there can be no assurances that we will not experience any supply shortage.


Foreign Currency Translation Our primary functional currencies used by our non-U.S. subsidiaries are the Euro, British Pound Sterling (Pound), Mexican (Peso), Japanese (Yen), and Chinese (Yuan).


Environmental Matters To the best of our knowledge, we believe that we are presently in substantial compliance with all existing applicable environmental laws and regulations and do not anticipate any instances of non-compliance that will have a material effect on our future capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.


Seasonality We are a diversified business with generally low levels of seasonality, however our fiscal third quarter typically has a comparatively lower level of sales and profitability.

Employee Relations The Company has labor agreements with severalfour union locals in the United States and several European employees belong to European trade unions.  There are threeNone of the union contracts in the U.S. that will expire during fiscal year 2018.  We are currently negotiating one contract and are in the planning phase for other negotiations.2019.


Critical Accounting Policies


The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standex International Corporation and all of its subsidiaries.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  Although we believe that materially different amounts would not be reported due to the accounting policies adopted, the application of certain accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.  Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 20172018 lists a number of accounting policies which we believe to be the most critical.







22



ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Risk Management


We are exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and changes in foreign currency exchange.rates.  To reduce these risks, we selectively use, from time to time, financial instruments and other proactive management techniques.  We have internal policies and procedures that place financial instruments under the direction of the Treasurer and restrict all derivative transactions to those intended for hedging purposes only.  The use of financial instruments for trading purposes (except for certain investments in connection with the non-qualified defined contribution plan) or speculation is strictly prohibited.  The Company has no majority-owned subsidiaries that are excluded from the consolidated financial statements.  Further, we have no interests in or relationships with any special purpose entities.


Exchange Rate Risk


We are exposed to both transactional risk and translation risk associated with exchange rates.  Our overall transactional risk is mitigated, in large part, by natural hedges developed with locally denominated debt service on intercompany accounts.  In the nine months ended March 31, 2018,2019, net sales to external customers in our consolidated sales not transacted in functional currency were 3.6%2.9%.  We also mitigate certain of our foreign currency exchange rate risks by entering into forward foreign currency contracts from time to time.  The contracts are used as a hedge against anticipated foreign cash flows, such as dividend payments, loan payments, and materials purchases, and are not used for trading or speculative purposes.  The fair values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates from market rates would decrease the fair value of the contracts.  However, any such losses or gains would generally be offset by corresponding gains and losses, respectively, on the related hedged asset or liability.  At March 31, 2018,2019, the fair value, in the aggregate, of the Company’sCompanys open foreign exchange contracts was a liability of $6.0$3.7 million.  


Our primary translation risk is with the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Peso, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan.  A hypothetical 10% appreciation or depreciation of the value of any these foreign currencies to the U.S. Dollar at March 31, 2018,2019, would not result in a material change in our operations, financial position, or cash flows.  We hedge our most significant foreign currency translation risks primarily through cross currency swaps and other instruments, as appropriate.


35



Interest Rate Risk


Our interest rate exposure is limited primarily to interest rate changes on our variable rate borrowings.  From time to time, we will use interest rate swap agreements to modify our exposure to interest rate movements.  The Company’sCompanys currently effective swap agreements convert our base borrowing rate on $75.0$85.0 million of debt due under our Credit Agreement from a variable rate equal to LIBOR to a weighted average rate of 1.74%2.11% at March 31, 2018.2019.


The Company’sCompanys effective rate on variable-rate borrowings, including the impact of interest rate swaps, under the revolving credit agreement increased from 2.41%3.29% at June 30, 20172018 to 2.98%3.71% at March 31, 2018.2019.


Concentration of Credit Risk


We have a diversified customer base.  As such, the risk associated with concentration of credit risk is inherently minimized.  As of March 31, 2018,2019, no one customer accounted for more than 5% of our consolidated outstanding receivables or of our sales.







23



Commodity Prices


The Company is exposed to fluctuating market prices for all commodities used in its manufacturing processes.  Each of our segments is subject to the effects of changing raw material costs caused by the underlying commodity price movements.movements and the impact that any tariffs may have on such commodities.  In general, we do not enter into purchase contracts that extend beyond one operating cycle.  While Standex considers our relationship with our suppliers to be good, there can be no assurances that we will not experience any supply shortage.


The Engineering Technologies, Food Service Equipment, Electronics, and Hydraulics Groups are all sensitive to price increases for steel products, other metal commodities and petroleum based products.  In the past year, we have experienced price fluctuations for a number of materials including steel, copper wire, other metal commodities, refrigeration components and foam insulation.  These materials are some of the key elements in the products manufactured in these segments.  Wherever possible, we will implement price increases to offset the impact of changing prices.  The ultimate acceptance of these price increases, if implemented, will be impacted by our affected divisions’divisions respective competitors and the timing of their price increases.



ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


At the end of the period covered by this Report, the management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’sCompanys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“(Exchange Act”Act)).  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’sCompanys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 20182019 in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’sCompanys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


SEC guidance permits the exclusion of an evaluation of the effectiveness of a registrant's disclosure controls and procedures as they relate to the internal controlscontrol over financial reporting for an acquired business during the first year following such acquisition.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this Report, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Regional Mfg. Specialists, Inc. (now named Agile Magnetics, Inc.) and Tenibac-Graphion, Inc. during the Piazza Rosa Group.  This acquisition representslast year.  These acquisitions represent approximately 1.5%4.0% and 1.4%3.4% of the Company's consolidated continuing operations revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018,2019, respectively, and approximately 1.8%13.8% of the Company's consolidated assets at March 31, 2018.2019.  Management's evaluation and conclusion as to the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s internalCompanys disclosure controls over financial
