AAON, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. General
Basis of Presentation
AAON, Inc. is a Nevada corporation which was incorporated on August 18, 1987. Our operating subsidiaries include AAON, Inc. ("AAON Oklahoma"), an Oklahoma corporation, AAON Coil Products, Inc. ("AAON Coil Products"), a Texas corporation, and BasX, Inc. (dba BasX Solutions)("BASX"), an Oregon corporation (collectively, the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of AAON, Inc. and our operating subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
On December 10, 2021, we closed on the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity ownership of BasX, LLC, doing business as BasX Solutions ("BasX") (Note 3). We began including the results of BasX’s operations in our consolidated financial statements on December 11, 2021. On December 29, 2021, BasX, LLC converted to a C-Corporation, BasX, Inc., and is subject to income tax.
Our financial statements consolidate all of our affiliated entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. Because we hold certain rights that give us the power to direct the activities of twofive variable interest entities ("VIEs") (Note 17)16) that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance, combined with a variable interest that gives us the right to receive potentially significant benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses, we have a controlling financial interest in those VIEs.
These financial statements have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, except that the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 20212022 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Certain disclosures have been condensed in or omitted from these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We are engaged in the engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of premium air conditioning and heating equipment consisting of standard, semi-custom, and custom rooftop units, data center cooling solutions, cleanroom systems, chillers, packaged outdoor mechanical rooms, air handling units, makeup air units, energy recovery units, condensing units, geothermal/water-source heat pumps, coils, and controls.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because these estimates and assumptions require significant judgment, actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We reevaluate our estimates and assumptions as needed, but at a minimum on a quarterly basis. The most significant estimates include, but are not limited to, inventory valuation, inventory reserves, warranty accrual, workers' compensation accrual, medical insurance accrual, income taxes, useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, estimated future use of leased property, share-based compensation, business combinations, revenue percentage of completion and estimated costs to complete. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Inflation and Labor Market
In 2022 and continuing into 2023, we have witnessed increases in our raw material and component prices. Due to our favorable liquidity position, we continue to make strategic purchases of materials when we see opportunities. We continue to manage the increase in the cost of raw materials through price increases for our products. We have also experienced supply chain challenges related to specific manufacturing parts, which we have managed through our strong vendor relationships as well as expanding our list of vendors.
Additionally, we continue to experience challenges in a tight labor market, especially the hiring of both skilled and unskilled production labor. We have implemented the following wage increases to remain competitive and to attract and retain employees:
•In March 2022, we awarded annual merit raises for an overall 3.0% increase to wages.
•In October 2022, we implemented a cost of living increase of 3.5% in place for all employees
below the Senior Leadership Team ("SLT") level.
•In March 2023, we awarded annual merit raises for an overall 3.9% increase to wages.
We will continue to implement human resource initiatives to retain and attract labor to further increase production capacity. Beginning in 2023, initiatives included changing our employee paid time off policy, historically awarded in arrears at the beginning of each quarter, to accrue ratably over each pay period. Additionally, we enhanced our benefits for short-term disability, life insurance, paid parental leave, and paid military leave.
Despite efforts to mitigate the impact of inflation, supply chain issues and the tight labor market, future disruptions, while temporary, could negatively impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Change in Estimate
During the first quarter of 2022, a review of the Company’s useful lives for certain sheet metal manufacturing equipment at our Longview, Texas location resulted in a change in estimate that increased the useful lives from between ten and twelve years to fifteen years. This determination was based on recent and estimated future production levels as well as management’s knowledge of the equipment and historical and future use of the equipment. The change in estimate was made prospectively and resulted in a decrease to depreciation expense within cost of sales on our consolidated statements of income of $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 remains unpredictable and we, therefore, continue to anticipate potential supply chain disruptions, employee absenteeism, and additional health and safety costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic that could unfavorably impact our business.
We had continuous operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Although future disruptions and costs are expected to be temporary, there is significant uncertainty around the duration and overall impact to our business operations. We are continually monitoring the progression of the pandemic, including new COVID-19 variants, and its potential effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Inflation and Labor Market
We have witnessed increases of our raw material prices, especially in copper and steel, which appear to be a residual effect of COVID-19, and we continue to make strategic purchases of materials when we see opportunities. We have managed the increase in the cost of raw materials through price increases for our products. We have also experienced supply chain challenges related to specific manufacturing parts, which we have managed through our strong existing vendor relationships, expanding our list of vendors, and our favorable liquidity position.
Additionally, we continue to experience challenges in a tight labor market, especially the hiring of both skilled and unskilled production labor. In July 2021, we increased starting wages for our production workforce by 7.0%. We also put a cost of living increase of 3.5% in place in October 2021 for all employees below the Director level. In March 2022, we awarded annual merit raises resulting in a 3.0% increase in overall wages. We will continue to implement human resource initiatives to retain and attract labor to further improve productivity and production efficiencies.
Despite efforts to mitigate the impact of inflation, supply chain issues, and the tight labor market, future disruptions, while temporary, could negatively impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
First Quarter 2021 Planned Maintenance and Adverse Weather
During the fourth quarter of 2020, we made the strategic decision to shut down our Tulsa, OK and Longview, TX manufacturing facilities to perform planned and necessary maintenance during the last week of December 2020 as well several days in early January 2021.
In February 2021, record-breaking winter storms affected Oklahoma and Texas, causing sustained below freezing temperatures, hazardous driving conditions, rolling blackouts, water main breaks, and a host of other weather related issues. In addition to significant absenteeism as a result of employees being unable to travel to and from work due to inadequate transportation and/or hazardous road conditions, the Company made the decision to shut down the Tulsa, OK and Longview, TX plants for several days. This decision was based on the expected employee absenteeism as well as the expected rolling blackouts caused by the increased demand on the electrical and natural gas power grids.
WH Series and WV Series Water Source Heat Pump Units
As part of the normal course of business, management is continually monitoringmonitors the profitability of the Company's various product lines.series offerings. During the third quarter of 2022, management made the decision to no longer produce our small packaged geothermal/water-source heat pump units consisting of the WH Series horizontal configuration and WV Series vertical configuration, from one-half to 12 1/2 tons ("WH/WV"). These WH/WV units arewere produced solely out of the AAON Oklahoma facility. Production of the remaining WH/WV backlog is expected to continue through the first quarter of 2023.
A majority of the long-lived assets used in the production of the WH/WV units will be immediately reallocated to other product production, providing us additional manufacturing capacity with minimal costs. The workforce from the WH/WV production line will also be reallocated to other product production lines. Management has identified some related components and parts that cannot be used in other products or sold through our parts business; therefore, we have increased our provision for excess and obsolete inventory (Note 6), within cost of sales on our consolidated statements of income, by approximately $1.0 millionwas completed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Management does not believe this decision will have a significant future impact on the AAON Oklahoma reportable segment or the Company's overall operations, financial results and cash flows.
second quarter 2023.
Accounting Policies
A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies and management estimates is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
2022.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of the items. The carrying amount of the Company’s revolving line of credit, and other payables, approximate their fair values either due to their short term nature, the variable rates associated with the debt or based on current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar characteristics.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based upon assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. We use the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation technique inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and (iv) inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Items categorized in Level 3 include the estimated fair values of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, contingent consideration, and goodwill acquired in a business combination.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
Our definite-lived intangible assets include various trademarks, service marks, and technical knowledge acquired in business combinations (Note 3).combinations. We amortize our definite-lived intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We evaluate the carrying value of our amortizable intangible assets for potential impairment when events and circumstances warrant such a review.
Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
| | | | | |
Intellectual property | 30 years |
Customer relationships | 14 years |
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired businesses over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. At September 30, 2022 $50.3 million of goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trademark and trade names. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are evaluated for impairment at least annually. We perform our annual assessment of impairment during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, and more frequently if circumstances warrant.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in the form of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed or included within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

1 Other sales include freight, extended warranties and miscellaneous revenue. |
Due to the highly customized nature of many of the Company’s products and each product not having an alternative use to the Company without significant costs to the Company, the Company recognizes revenue over time as progress is made toward satisfying the performance obligations of each contract. The Company has formal cancellation policies and generally does not accept returns on these units.
As a result, many of the Company’s products do not have an alternative use and therefore, for these products we recognize revenue over the time it takes to produce the unit.
Contract costs include direct materials, direct labor, installation, freight and delivery, commissions and royalties. Other costs not related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and materials, small tools and supplies, operating expenses, field rework and back charges are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts in progress are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income, and are estimated and recognized by the Company throughout the life of the contract. The aggregate of costs incurred and income recognized on uncompleted contracts in excess of billings is shown as a contract asset within our consolidated balance sheets, and the aggregate of billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of related costs incurred and income recognized is shown as a contract liability within our consolidated balance sheets.
For all other products that are part sales or standardized units, the Company recognizes revenue, presented net of sales tax, when it satisfies the performance obligation in its contracts. As the primary performance obligation in such a contract is delivery of the requested manufactured equipment, we satisfy the performance obligation when the control is passed to the customer, generally at time of shipment. Final sales prices are fixed based on purchase orders.
Sales allowances and customer incentives are treated as reductions to sales and are provided for based on historical experiences and current estimates. Sales
Historically, sales of our products arewere moderately seasonal with the peak period being May-October of each year due to timing of construction projects being directly related to warmer weather. However, in recent years, given the increases in demand of our product and increases in our backlog, sales have become more constant throughout the year.
Product Warranties
A provision is made for the estimated cost of maintaining product warranties to customers at the time the product is sold based upon historical claims experience by product line. The Company records a liability and an expense for estimated future warranty claims based upon historical experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims. Changes in the estimated amounts recognized in prior years are recorded as an adjustment to the liability and expense in the current year.
The Company also sells extended warranties on parts for various lengths of time ranging from six months to 10 years. Revenue for these separately priced warranties is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the separately priced warranty period.
Representatives and Third Party Products
We are responsible for billings and collections resulting from all sales transactions, including those initiated by our independent manufacturer representatives (“Representatives”). Representatives are national companies that are in the business of providing HVAC units and other related products and services to customers. The end user customer orders a bundled group of products and services from the Representative and expects the Representative to fulfill the order. These additional products and services may include controls purchased from another manufacturer to operate the unit, start-up services, and curbs for supporting the unit (“Third Party Products”). All are associated with the purchase of a HVAC unit but may be provided by the Representative or another third party. Only after the specifications are agreed to by the Representative and the customer, and the decision is made to use an AAON HVAC unit, will we receive notice of the order. We establish the amount we must receive for our HVAC unit (“minimum sales price”), but do not control the total order price that is negotiated by the Representative with the end user customer. The Representatives submit the total order price to us for invoicing and collection. The total order price includes our minimum sales price and an additional amount which may include both the Representatives’ fee and amounts due for additional products and services required by the customer. The Company is considered the principal for the equipment we design and manufacture and records that revenue. The Company has no control over the Third Party Products to the end customer and the Company is under no obligation related to the Third Party Products. Amounts related to Third Party Products are not recognized as revenue but are recorded as a liability and are included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
sheets.
The Representatives’ fee and Third Party Products amounts (“Due to Representatives”) are paid only after all amounts associated with the order are collected from the customer. The amount of payments to our Representatives were $10.8$20.1 million and $9.5$10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 2021, respectively. The amount of payments to our Representatives were $28.7$46.4 million and $34.5$28.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively.
3. Business Combination
On November 18, 2021, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “MIPA Agreement”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity ownership of BasX, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, doing business as BasX Solutions. We closed this transaction on December 10, 2021 for a purchase price of (i) $100.0 million payable in cash (not including working capital adjustments), and (ii) up to $80.0 million in the aggregate of contingent consideration payable in shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.004 per share (the "Shares").
Leases
The $80.0 million of contingent consideration payable consists of $78.0 million payable to the former owners of BasXCompany has various lease arrangements for certain manufacturing and $2.0 million payable to key employees of BasX whom are now employed by the Company. The potential future issuance of the Shares is contingent upon BasX meeting certain post-closing earn-out milestones during each of 2021, 2022, and 2023 under the terms of the MIPA Agreement. The Company funded the BasX acquisition cash portion of the purchase price and related transaction costs with cash on hand.
Additionally, as a condition to closing, the Company entered into a real estate purchase agreement with BasX Properties, LLC, an affiliate of BasX, to acquire the principal real property and improvements utilized by BasX for an additional $22.0 million, subject to customary closing conditions and adjustments. The Company closed this real estate transaction on May 31, 2022, which terminated the related lease (Note 4).
BasX specializes in the design, engineering and manufacturing of custom, energy efficient cooling solutions for the rapidly growing hyperscale data center market. BasX also designs and manufactures custom solutions for cleanroom environments for the bio-pharmaceutical, semiconductor, medical and agriculture markets,warehousing facilities, equipment rental, as well as custom, energy efficient air handlers and modular solutions for a vast array of markets. The acquisition of BasX brings the Company exposure to attractive end-markets
into which the Company has historically had minimal exposure. The products BasX manufacturesadministrative facilities. Currently, all leases are highly engineered, customized products, fully complimenting AAON's existing business.
We applied pushdown accounting, allowable under ASC 805 "Business Combinations," to "pushdown" our stepped-up basis in the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to BasX's subsidiary financial statements. The decision to apply pushdown accounting is irrevocable. Goodwill was calculated and recognized consistent with acquisition accounting, resulting in the pushdown of $78.7 million in goodwill.
The following table presents the final allocation of the consideration paid to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of BasX described above, which was still preliminary at December 31, 2021. The revisions indicated below were recorded during the first quarter of 2022. The revisions were the results of updates to our preliminary estimates and third party valuation models. The impact of such revisions on net income were not significant.

Goodwill is the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired businesses over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill represents a premium paid to acquire the skilled workforce and expanded market opportunities. Goodwill of $47.1 million was tax deductible upon the completion of the final allocation of consideration paid to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Future additional amounts of goodwill related to the contingent consideration may become tax deductible in the future if the earn out provisions of the MIPA Agreement are achieved.

Since 2018, we lease ourthe Company has leased the manufacturing, engineering and office space used by our operations in Parkville, Missouri, which is classified as an operating lease.
During the acquisition of BasX on December 10, 2021 (Note 3), we acquired various leases for plant/office space and equipment, which are classified as operating leases. Through May 2022, BasX's manufacturing and office facility in Redmond, Oregon was leased from a related party (Note19). As as result of the purchase of the manufacturing and office facility on May 31, In October 2022, the lease was terminated.
On June 1, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for land and facilities in Tulsa, Oklahoma to support our manufacturing operations. During the second quarter of 2022, this lease was classified as a finance lease as the Company had the option to and was reasonably certain to purchase the underlying assets in 2023. However, during the third quarter of 2022, it was determined that the Company would no longer purchase the land or facility and terminate the lease due to unforeseen facility structural issues. As we currently expect to vacate this property in the next several months and terminate this lease we have reassessed our lease estimate and classified the remaining expected term of the lease as an operating lease. We do not expect the vacating of the leased property to have a significant effect on the Company's overall operations, financial results and cash flows.
Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we amended our Parkville, Missouri lease was amended to expand our manufacturing and office space from 51,000 square feet to 86,000 square feet. The amended lease will provideprovides for approximately 31,000 square feet of additional manufacturing and engineering space and for approximately 4,000 square feet of additional office space. The amended lease extends the lease term through December 31, 2032.

During the third quarter of 2022, management made the decision to no longer produce our small packaged geothermal/water-source heat pump units consisting of the WH Series horizontal configuration and WV Series vertical configuration (see Note 1). Management has identified some related components and parts that cannot be used in other production or sold through our parts business; therefore, we have increased our provision for excess and obsolete inventory, within cost of sales on our consolidated statements of income, by approximately $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

11.10. Revolving Credit Facility
On May 27, 2022, we amended our $100.0 million Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated November 24, 2021 (“Revolver”(as amended, “Revolver”), to provide for maximum borrowings of $200.0 million. As of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we had $76.3$78.4 million and $40.0$71.0 million outstanding under the Revolver, respectively. We have onetwo standby letterletters of credit totaling $0.8$2.3 million as of September 30, 2022.2023. Borrowings available under the Revolver at September 30, 20222023 were $122.9$119.3 million. The Revolver expires on May 27, 2027.
On April 20, 2023, we amended the Revolver to allow for the occurrence of transactions associated with the New Markets Tax Credit executed on April 25, 2023 (Note 16).
Any outstanding loans under the Revolver bear interest at the daily compounded secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus the applicable margin. Applicable margin, ranging from 1.25% - 1.75%, is determined quarterly based on the Company's leverage ratio. The Company is also subject to letter of credit fees, ranging from 1.25% - 1.75%, and a commitment fee, ranging from 0.10% - 0.20%. The applicable fee percentage is determined quarterly based on the Company's leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding on our the Revolver was 6.5% and 6.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to 3.5% and 2.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Fees associated with the unused portion of the committed amount are included in interest expense on our consolidated statements of income and were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
If SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition, as defined by the Revolver agreement, any outstanding affected loans will be deemed to have been converted into alternative base rate ("ABR") loans. ABR loans would bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, or (c) daily simple SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.00%.
At September 30, 2022,2023, we were in compliance with our financial covenants, as defined by the Revolver. TheseOur financial covenants require that we meet certain parameters related to our leverage ratio. At September 30, 2022,2023, our leverage ratio was 0.650.33 to 1.0, which meets the requirement of not being above 3 to 1.

On May 21, 2021, the State of Oklahoma enacted House Bill 2960, effectively reducing the corporate income tax rate in Oklahoma from 6% to 4%. This resulted in an overall reduction of our effective state income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, net of Federal benefit.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an excess tax benefit of $1.3 million as compared to $3.8 million during the same period in 2021, a decrease of 67%. The decrease was primarily due to timing of stock option exercises as a result of our high stock price during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
We earnhave historically earned investment tax credits from the state of Oklahoma’s manufacturing property investment program. We use the flow-through method to account for investment tax credits earned on eligible tangible asset expenditures. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to our Oklahoma income tax expense in the year they are used. As part of our expansion projects in Oklahoma, we identified a separate, more advantageous Oklahoma credit program (non income tax related) which will cause us to discontinue our accumulation of credits for Oklahoma’s manufacturing property investment program after the 2022 tax year.
The Company had investment tax credit carryforwards with a valuation allowance reserved against them as we did not have sufficient taxable income to utilize the carryforwards, in part because we generated more credit each year than we were able to utilize. Because the Company will not generate additional excess credits after our 2022 tax year, we will be able to use our credit carryforwards against future taxable income and the related valuation allowance was reversed resulting in a one-time benefit of $3.1 million to the income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2022,2023, we have investment tax credit carryforwards of approximately $4.4$3.8 million. These credits have estimated expirations from the year 20382039 through 2042.
2043.
The Company's estimated annual 20222023 effective tax rate, excluding discrete events, is approximately 25%24.1%. We file income tax returns in the U.S., state and foreign income tax returns jurisdictions. We are subject to U.S. income tax examinations for tax years 20182019 to present, and to non-U.S. income tax examinations for the tax years 20172018 to present. In addition, we are subject to state and local income tax examinations for the tax years 20172018 to present. The Company continues to evaluate its need to file returns in various state jurisdictions. Any interest or penalties would be recognized as a component of income tax expense.

12. Share-Based Compensation
As discussed in Note 15, the Company declared a three-for-two stock split effective August 16, 2023. All share and per share information has been updated to reflect the effect of this stock split.
On May 22, 2007, our stockholders adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) which provided an additional 3.35.0 million shares that could be granted in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance units and performance awards, in addition to the shares from the previous plan, the 1992 Plan.awards. Under the LTIP, the exercise price of shares granted could not be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of the grant.
On May 24, 2016, our stockholders adopted the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2016 Plan") which provides for approximately 8.913.4 million shares, comprised of 3.45.1 million new shares provided for under the 2016 Plan, approximately 0.40.6 million shares that were available for issuance under the previous LTIP that are now authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan, approximately 2.63.9 million shares that were approved by the stockholders on May 15, 2018, and an additional 2.53.8 million shares that were approved by the stockholders on May 12, 2020.
Under the 2016 Plan, shares can be granted in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards. Under the 2016 Plan, the exercise price of shares granted may not be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of the grant. The 2016 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or such other committee of the Board of Directors as is designated by the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). Membership on the Committee is limited to independent directors. The Committee may delegate certain duties to one or more officers of the Company as provided in the 2016 Plan. The Committee determines the persons to whom awards are to be made, determines the type, size and terms of awards, interprets the 2016 Plan, establishes and revises rules and regulations relating to the 2016 Plan and makes any other determinations that it believes necessary for the administration of the 2016 Plan.

Restricted Stock
The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the fair market value of AAON, Inc. common stock on the respective grant dates, reduced for the present value of dividends. At September 30, 2022,2023, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards was approximately $4.9$5.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.81.5 years.
A summary of the unvested restricted stock awards is as follows:

PSUs
We have awarded performance restricted stock units ("PSUs") to certain officers and employees under our 2016 Plan. Unlike our restricted stock awards, these PSUs are not considered legally outstanding and do not accrue dividends during the vesting period. These PSUs vest based on the level of achievement with respect to the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") benchmarked against similar companies included in the capital goods sector of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The TSR measurement period is three years. At the end of the measurement period, each award will be converted into common stock at 0% to 200% of the PSUs held, depending on overall TSR as compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index benchmark companies.
The total pre-tax compensation cost related to unvested PSUs not yet recognized as of September 30, 20222023 is $2.2$5.0 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.21.7 years.
The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the PSUs granted on the original grant date for expense recognition purposes for PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and 20212022 using a Monte Carlo Model:
| | | Nine months ended | | Nine months ended |
| | September 30, 2022 | | September 30, 2021 | | September 30, 2023 | | September 30, 2022 |
| | | | | | | | |
Expected dividend rate | $0.38 | | $0.38 | |
Expected (annual) dividend rate | | Expected (annual) dividend rate | $0.32 | | $0.25 |
Expected volatility | Expected volatility | 37.60% | | 39.10% | Expected volatility | 32.71% | | 37.60% |
Risk-free interest rate | Risk-free interest rate | 2.00% | | 0.28% | Risk-free interest rate | 4.66% | | 2.00% |
Expected life (in years) | Expected life (in years) | 2.8 | | 2.6 | Expected life (in years) | 2.8 | | 2.8 |
The expected term of the PSUs is based on their remaining performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. Volatility is based on historical volatility of our stock over time periods equal to the expected life at grant date.

Key Employee Awards
Subject toAs part of the MIPA Agreement (Note 3),December 2021 acquisition of BASX, the Company granted awards to key employees of BasXBASX ("Key Employee Awards"). Unlike our restricted stock awards under the 2016 Plan, the Key Employee Awards are not considered legally outstanding and do not accrue dividends during the vesting period. The potential future issuance of the Key Employee Awards is contingent upon BasXBASX meeting certain post-closing earn-out milestones during each of the years ending 2021, 2022 and 2023 as defined by the BASX acquisition membership interest purchase agreement ("MIPA AgreementAgreement") and continued employment with the Company. At the end of the earn-out period, ending December 31, 2023, each eligible Key Employee Award will vest and be converted into common stock. The fair value of Key Employee Awards is based on the fair market value of AAON common stock on the grant date.
The total pre-tax compensation cost related to unvested Key Employee Awards not yet recognized as of September 30, 20222023 is $1.3$0.3 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.30.3 years.

Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the related share-based compensation award. Historically, stock options and restricted stock awards, granted to employees, vestvested at a rate of 20% per year. Restricted stock awards granted to directors historically vestvested one-third each year or, if granted on or after May 2019, vest over the shorter of directors' remaining elected term or one-third each year. As of March 2021, all new grants of stock options and restricted stock awards, granted to employees, vest at a rate of 33.3% per year. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
Historically, if the employee or director is retirement eligible (as defined by the applicable LTIP or 2016 Plan) or becomes retirement eligible during the service period of the related share-based compensation award, the service period (and compensation expense recognition) is the lesser of 1) the grant date, if retirement eligible on grant date, or 2) the period between grant date and retirement eligible date. All stock options and restricted stock awards granted on or after March 1, 2020 to retirement eligible employees or directors contain a one-year employment requirement (minimum service period) or the entire award is forfeited. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
The PSUs cliff vest on December 31, at the end of the third year from the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of PSUs. The PSUs are subject to several service and market conditions, as defined by the PSU agreement, which allows the holder to retain a pro-rata amount of awards as a result of certain termination conditions, retirement, change in common control, or death. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
The Key Employee Awards cliff vest on December 31, 2023. Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the Key Employee Awards when it is probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. The Key Employee Awards are subject to several service and performance conditions, as defined by the Key Employee Award agreement, which allows the holder to retain an amount of the awards as a result of certain termination conditions or change in common control. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
14.13. Employee Benefits
Defined Contribution Plan - 401(k)
We sponsor a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”). Eligible employees may make contributions in accordance with the Plan and IRS guidelines. In addition to the traditional 401(k), eligible employees are given the option of making an after-tax contribution to a Roth 401(k) or a combination of both. The Plan provides for automatic enrollment and for an automatic increase to the deferral percentage at January 1st of each year and each year thereafter. Eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan at a 6% deferral rate and currently contributing employees deferral rates will be increased to 6% unless their current rate is at or above 6% or the employee elects to decline the automatic enrollment or increase. Administrative expenses are paid for by Plan participants. The Company paid no administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021.
2022.
The Company matches 175% up to 6% of employee contributions of eligible compensation. Additionally, Plan participant forfeitures are used to reduce the cost of the Company contributions.

15.14. Earnings Per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share assumes the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities and is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive common shares consist primarily of stock options and restricted stock awards.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included in this report, and our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
2022.
This discussion contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results, based on information available at the time this report is filed with the SEC or, with respect to any document incorporated by reference, available at the time that such document was prepared. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those identified in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” in this Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022. We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, new information or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by law.
Overview
We engineer, manufacture, market, and sell premium air conditioning and heating equipment consisting of standard, semi-custom, and custom rooftop units, data center cooling solutions, cleanroom systems, chillers, packaged outdoor mechanical rooms, air handling units, makeup air units, energy recovery units, condensing units, geothermal/water-source heat pumps, coils, and controls. These products are marketed and sold to retail, manufacturing, educational, lodging, supermarket, data centers, medical and pharmaceutical, and other commercial industries. We market our products to all 50 states in the United States and certain provinces in Canada. Foreign sales were approximately $18.0$29.3 million of our total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and $11.0$18.0 million of our sales during the same period of 2021.
2022.
Our business can be affected by a number of economic factors, including the level of economic activity in the markets in which we operate. The uncertainty of the economy negatively impacted the commercial and industrial new construction markets in 2020 and the first half of 2021. Since August 2021, however, nonresidential construction has been recovering. In the third quarter of 2022, the market returned to pre-pandemic levels. Currently, architectural billings and nonresidential construction starts are at historically high levels, signaling the nonresidential construction market will continue to be strong over the next nine to 12 months. Furthermore, although some economic indicators are suggesting the general economy is slowing, the replacement market remains strong. Nevertheless, bothBoth the new construction and replacement markets are cyclical. If the domestic economy were to slow or enter a recession, this could result in a decrease in our sales volume and profitability. Sales in the commercial and industrial new construction markets generally lag the housing market, which in turn is influenced by cyclical factors such as interest rates, inflation, consumer spending habits, employment rates, the state of the economy and other macroeconomic factors over which we have no control. Sales in the replacement markets are driven by various factors, including general economic growth, the Company’s new product introductions, fluctuations in the average age of existing equipment in the market, government regulations and stimulus, changes in market demand between more customized higher performing HVAC equipment and lower priced standard equipment, as well as many other factors. When new construction is down, we emphasize the replacement market. The demand for our products is influenced by national and regional economic and demographic factors. The commercial and industrial new construction market is subject to cyclical fluctuations in that it is generally tied to housing starts, but has a lag factor of six to 18 months. Housing starts, in turn, are affected by such factors as interest rates, the state of the economy, population growth, and the relative age of the population.
We sell our products to property owners and contractors mainly through a network of independent manufacturers’ representatives.Representatives. This go-to-market strategy is unique compared to most of our larger competitors in that most control their sales channel. We value the independent sales channel as we think it is a more effective way of increasing market share. Although we concede full control of the sales process with this strategy, the entrepreneurial aspect of the independent sales channel attracts the most talent and provides greater financial incentives for its salespeople. Furthermore, the independent sales channel sells different types of equipment from various manufacturers, allowing it to operate with more of a solutions-based mindset, as opposed to an internal sales department of a manufacturing company that is incentivized to only sell its equipment regardless if it is the best solution for the end customer. We also have a small internal sales force that supports the relationships between the Company and our sales channel partners. BasXBASX sells highly customized products for unique applications forto a more concentrated customer base and anbase. A combination of our internal sales force and select group of independent sales representatives is moremost effective for suchBASX's products.
The principal components of cost of goods sold are labor, raw materials, component costs, factory overhead, freight and engineering expense. The principal high volume raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are steel, copper and aluminum, and are obtained from domestic suppliers. We also purchase from domestic manufacturers certain components, including coils, compressors, motors, and electrical controls.
The price levels of our raw materials fluctuate given that the market continues to be volatile and unpredictable as a result of the uncertainty related to the U.S. economy and global economy. At September 30, 2022,2023, the price (year to date average) for copper, galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminum increased 16.6%1.2%, 36.6%, 91.0%5.0%, and 14.8%16.7%, respectively, as compared to the price (year to date average) at September 30, 2021.
2022, while the price (year to date average) for galvanized steel decreased 29.9% as compared to the price (year to date average) at September 30, 2022.
We attempt to limit the impact of price fluctuations on these materials by entering into cancellable and non-cancellable fixed price contracts with our major suppliers for periods of six to 18 months. We expect to receive delivery of raw materials from our fixed price contracts for use in our manufacturing operations.
We occasionally increase the price of our equipmentproducts to help offset any inflationary headwinds. In 2021, we implemented three price increases. In 2022, we implemented additionaltwo significant price increases as well as a recurring 1% monthly price increase effective January 1, 2022; March 29, 2022; June 1, 2022; July2022 through April 1, 2022; August 1, 2022; and September 1, 2022.

The following are recent highlights and items that impacted our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition:
•We continue to have a record backlog. New bookings for BasX in the quarter were by far a record for the business as it benefited from a strong pipeline of projects in the data center and semiconductor markets. Revenue synergies from the BasX acquisition has also increased bookings for AAON Coil Products.
•Sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023 grew 28.6% and 35.9%, respectively, due to organic growth, the addition of BasX revenues,record production rates and price increases realized during the periods.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 total net sales increased $69.4 million or 28.6%, with 16.7% of the increase coming from realization of price increases and the remaining 11.9% coming from increases in organic volume. AAON Coil Products had a smaller backlog and realized price increases quicker than AAON Oklahoma. This along with inefficiencies related to implementing a new production line of BASX product at AAON Coil Products lead to year over year decreases in sales for this segment.
Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 37.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 27.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. As noted above, realization of price increases has improved our margin profile along with the slowing of inflation. Additionally, most of the organic growth noted above comes from our AAON Oklahoma segment, significantly improving overhead absorption and margin performance. BASX has benefited from larger jobs as a result of the revenue synergies created by being part of AAON which allows them to have a higher production rate without increasing personnel.

Total net sales increased $104.0 million or 75.1%, with the addition of BasX sales contributing to 31.7% of our growth. Excluding BasX sales of $32.9 million, net sales grew through price increases of $33.9 million and organic volume, product mix and other of $37.2 million.
As shown in the table below, we've experienced year over year increases in the cost of several raw materials. We implemented multiple price increases during 20212022 and 20222023 to counteract the increased cost of material. Some of the 2022 price increases have yet to be realized. Additionally, in order to retain our existing employees, we put a cost of living increase of 3.5%continue to award periodic raises in place in October 2021 for all employees below the Director level. In March 2022, we awardedaddition to our annual merit raises for an overall 3.0% increase to wages.
We have seen continued improvement in our overall margin since the second quarter of 2022. The backlog for AAON Coil Products had better pricing which shows in their improved gross margin of 34.6% for the quarter as they are able to realize price increases faster than AAON Oklahoma. BasX has been able to reprice their backlog in order to maintain a healthy gross profit of 28.5% for the quarter. AAON Oklahoma continued to work through its remaining lower priced backlog at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, increasing its gross profit margin from 20.2% in the second quarter of 2022 to 25.5% for the third quarter of 2022.

The decrease in the overall effective tax rate was primarily due to the change in our valuation allowance from the discontinuation of our participation in the state of Oklahoma’s manufacturing property investment program. This change will allow the Company to utilize existing credit carryforwards in future tax years, eliminating the need for a valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset. The related valuation allowance was reversed resulting in a one-time benefit of $3.1 million to the estimated income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2022,2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital and capital expenditure requirements are generally met through net cash provided by operations and the use of the revolving bank line of credit based on our current liquidity at the time.
Working Capital - Our unrestricted cash increased $7.9decreased $5.2 million from December 31, 20212022 to September 30, 20222023 and totaled $10.7$0.2 million at September 30, 2022.
2023. Our restricted cash increased $21.8 million from the closing of our recent New Markets Tax Credit related to our Longview, Texas Expansion. We expect most funds will be released from this account by the end of 2023. The funds will be used to pay down our revolving line of credit. We have also seen increases in our current income tax payable due to the tax law changes surrounding the capitalization of research and development costs. This has increased our cash paid for income taxes.
Revolving Line of Credit - Our revolving credit facility ("Revolver"(as amended, "Revolver"), as amended and restated, provides for maximum borrowings of $200.0 million. As of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we had $76.3$78.4 million and $40.0$71.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Revolver. We had onetwo standby letterletters of credit totaling $0.8$2.3 million as of September 30, 2022.2023. At September 30, 2022,2023, we have $122.9$119.3 million of borrowings available under the Revolver. The Revolver expires May 27, 2027.
On April 20, 2023 we amended the Revolver to allow for the occurrence of transactions associated with the New Markets Tax Credit executed on April 25, 2023 (Note 16).
Any outstanding loans under the Revolver bear interest at the daily compounded secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus the applicable margin. Applicable margin, ranging from 1.25% - 1.75%, is determined quarterly based on the Company's leverage ratio. The Company is also subject to letter of credit fees, ranging from 1.25% - 1.75%, and a commitment fee, ranging from 0.10% - 0.20%. The applicable fee percentage is determined quarterly based on the Company's leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding on the Revolver was 3.5%6.5% and 2.5%6.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.2023. Fees associated with the unused portion of the committed amount are included in interest expense on our consolidated statements of income and were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
If SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition, as defined by the Revolver agreement, any outstanding effected loans will be deemed to have been converted into alternative base rate ("ABR") loans. ABR loans would bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, or (c) daily simple SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.00%.
At September 30, 2022,2023, we were in compliance with our financial covenants, as defined by the Revolver. These covenants require that we meet certain parameters related to our leverage ratio. At September 30, 2022,2023, our leverage ratio was 0.650.33 to 1.0, which meets the requirement of not being above 3 to 1.
As of November 3, 2022, we had $73.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our Revolver.
2019 New MarketMarkets Tax Credit Obligation - On October 24, 2019, the Company entered into a transaction with a subsidiary of an unrelated third-party financial institution (the “Investor”“2019 Investor”) and a certified Community Development Entity under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit (“2019 NMTC”) program pursuant to Section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, related to an investment in plant and equipment to facilitate the expansion of our Longview, Texas manufacturing operations (the “Project”“2019 Project”). In connection with the NMTC transaction, the Company received a $23.0 million NMTC allocation for the 2019 Project and secured low interest financing and the potential for future debt forgiveness related to the expansion of its Longview, Texas facilities.
Upon closing of the 2019 NMTC transaction, the Company provided an aggregate of approximately $15.9 million to the Investor, in the form of a loan receivable, with a term of twenty-five years, bearing an interest rate of 1.0%.
