NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Daktronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Daktronics”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) are the world's industry leader in designing and manufacturing electronic scoreboards, programmable display systems and large screen video displays for sporting, commercial and transportation applications.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results in future periods may differ from those estimates.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet at ~~April 27, 2019,~~May 2, 2020, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but it does not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended ~~April 27, 2019~~,May 2, 2020, which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

Daktronics, Inc. operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, with our fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to April 30 of each year. When April 30 falls on a Wednesday, the fiscal year ends on the preceding Saturday. Within each fiscal year, each quarter is comprised of 13-week periods following the beginning of each fiscal year. In each 53-week year, an additional week is added to the first quarter, and each of the last three quarters is comprised of a 13-week period. The fiscal year ~~ended April 27, 2019 consisted~~ending May 1, 2021 will consist of 52 ~~weeks. Fiscal~~weeks and the fiscal year ended May 2, 2020 ~~will be~~was a 53-week year; therefore, the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 contains operating results for 4026 weeks while the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~January 26,~~November 2, 2019 contains operating results for 3927 weeks.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the totals of the same amounts shown in the condensed consolidated ~~statement~~statements of cash ~~flows:~~flows. We have bank guarantees that are secured with cash collateral which is maintained in the restricted cash account.

Other Business Developments - Coronavirus Pandemic

During the first six months of fiscal 2021, we continued to see the global spread of the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19"), which grew to create significant volatility, uncertainty and global economic disruption. As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 1, 2020, we are taking proactive steps to solidify our financial position and mitigate any adverse consequences. These steps include preserving liquidity by drawing down $15,000 of our existing line of credit, which is included in the "Other long-term obligations" line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we are pursuing other sources of financing, reducing investments in capital assets, have reduced executive pay and board member compensation, and have or are continuing to institute initiatives to reduce other costs in the business. Our board of directors voted to suspend stock repurchases under our share repurchase program and to suspend dividends for the foreseeable future. We believe these measures help to preserve our ability to borrow for liquidity needs and position us well for when the pandemic passes and economies begin to recover.

During fiscal 2020, we offered special voluntary retirement and voluntary exit incentive program ("Offering") and during the first six months of fiscal 2021, we conducted two reductions in force ("RIF") to adjust our capacity and reduce on-going expenses due to the reduced revenue and uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, 60 employees agreed to participate in the Offering and completed employment. The approximate cost of this Offering was $931 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Under the RIF, employment was terminated with 108 employees with severance totaling $1,426 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 150 employees with severance totaling $2,742 during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Various government programs have been announced which provide financial relief for affected businesses that suffered reductions in revenue resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic including the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan in Canada, the Australian JobKeeper subsidy in Australia, the Temporary COVID-19 Wage Subsidy in Ireland, and the Job Retention Program in the United Kingdom. We received governmental wage subsidies of $812 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and $566 during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and recorded such as a reduction of compensation expense, which is mostly included in the "Costs of sales" line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, we have elected to defer payments of the employer portion of social security taxes during the payroll tax deferral period. The payroll tax deferral period ends on December 31, 2020. As of October 31, 2020 the total amount of such deferral was $3,976, which is included in the "Other long-term obligations" line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Per the terms of the deferral program, 50 percent of the deferred amount is due on December 31, 2021 with the remaining 50 percent due on December 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended ~~April 27, 2019,~~May 2, 2020, other than described in the Accounting Standards Adopted section below.

Accounting Standards Adopted

In ~~February 2016,~~January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ~~2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (that is, lessees and lessors). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. ASU 2016-02 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, ~~Codification Improvements to Topic 842 (Leases)~~ ~~and ASU 2018-11,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements~~, which provide (i) narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, (ii) entities with an additional transition method to adopt the new standard, and (iii) lessors with a practical expedient for separating components of a contract.

~~Table of contents~~

We adopted ASU 2016-02 and its related guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 for all agreements existing as of April 28, 2019. We elected the "comparatives under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840 option" as a transitional method, which allows us to initially apply the new lease requirements at the effective date. Comparative periods were not adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with prior lease guidance under ASC 840. We elected the package of practical expedients, which permits us not to reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, we have elected the short-term lease recognition whereby we will not recognize operating leases related assets or liabilities for leases with a lease term of less than one year. We have also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components in the lease payments for all asset classes. This adoption did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows, and there was no adjustment to retained earnings. As of April 28, 2019, we recognized a right of use asset for operating leases of $11,101 and a current and non-current lease liability for operating leases of $2,745 and $8,356, respectively. The right of use operating assets are included in the "Investment in affiliates and other assets" line item, the current lease liabilities are included in the "Accrued expenses" line item, and the non-current lease liabilities are included in the "Other long-term obligations" line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. See "Note 12. Leases" for more information.

~~Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted~~

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU~~ 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. A goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. We adopted ASU 2017-04 ~~is effective for interim~~during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and ~~annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and will require~~the adoption ~~on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the effect that adopting ASU 2017-04 will~~did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial ~~statements and related disclosures.~~statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides guidance regarding the measurement and recognition of credit impairment for certain financial assets. ASU 2016-13 ~~is effective~~improves financial reporting by requiring more timely recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. Under the new guidance, the ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for ~~interim~~financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and ~~annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and will require adoption on a modified retrospective basis.~~reasonable supportable forecasts. We ~~are currently evaluating the effect that adopting~~adopted ASU 2016-13 ~~including all subsequent amendments~~ and ~~improvements to ASC Topic 326 issued by FASB, will~~its related guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial ~~statements~~statements.

We estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts using a loss rate method. We measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held

at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and ~~related disclosures.~~reasonable supportable forecasts.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:



	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
Balance as of May 2, 2020	$	2,828
Charged to costs and expenses	1,428
Deductions (1)	(1,040		)
Balance as of October 31, 2020	$	3,216

(1) Includes accounts determined to be uncollectible and charged against reserves.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

There are no significant ASU's issued not yet adopted as of October 31, 2020.

Note 2. Investments in Affiliates

Investments in affiliates over which we have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, recording the investment at cost and then subsequently adjusting to account for our share of the affiliates profit or losses, in accordance with the provisions of ~~ASC~~Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Investments in affiliates over which we do not have the ability to exert significant influence over the affiliate's operating and financing activities are accounted

Table of contents

for under the cost method of accounting, recording the investment at cost and then subsequently adjusting for any changes in ownership or dividends, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. We have evaluated our relationships with our affiliates and have determined that these entities are not variable interest entities.

The aggregate amount of investments accounted for under the equity method was $3,268 and $3,657 at February 1, 2020 and April 27, 2019, respectively. The equity method requires us to report our share of losses up to our equity investment amount. Cash paid for investments in affiliates and loans to affiliates are included in the "Purchases of and loans to equity investment" line item in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Equity method investments as a whole are assessed for other-than-temporary impairments whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable.

The aggregate amount of investments accounted for under the equity method was $16,112 and $17,257 at October 31, 2020 and May 2, 2020, respectively. Our proportional share of the respective affiliates' earnings or losses is included in the "Other (expense) income, ~~(expense),~~ net" line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 and ~~January 26,~~November 2, 2019, our share of the losses of our affiliates was ~~$430~~$1,145 and ~~$392,~~$241, respectively. We purchased services for research and development activities from our equity method investments. The total of these related party transactions was $560 for the six months ended October 31, 2020, which was included in the "Product design and development" line item in in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and remains unpaid and is included in the "Accounts payable" line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 3. Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

We follow the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, where basic EPS is computed by dividing income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution which may occur if securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock which share in our earnings.

See "Note 5. Segment Reporting" for a disaggregation of revenue by geography.

Contract balances

Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed and include unbilled receivables. Unbilled receivables, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, are reclassified to accounts receivable when they are billed according to the contract terms. Contract liabilities represent amounts billed to the ~~clients~~customers in excess of revenue recognized to date.

The following table reflects the changes in our contract assets and liabilities:



	October 31, 2020		May 2, 2020		Dollar Change			Percent Change
Contract assets	$	26,707	$	35,467	$	(8,760	)	(24.7	)%
Contract liabilities - current	47,107		50,897		(3,790		)	(7.4	)
Contract liabilities - noncurrent	10,741		10,707		34			0.3

47,178

5.7
Contract liabilities - noncurrent 10,676

623
6.2

The changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities from ~~April 27, 2019~~May 2, 2020 to ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 were due to the timing of billing schedules and revenue recognition, which can vary significantly depending on the contractual payment terms and the seasonality of the sports markets. We had no material impairments of contract assets for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020.

Table of contents

For service-type warranty contracts, we allocate revenue to this performance obligation, recognize the revenue over time, and recognize costs as incurred. Earned and unearned revenues for these contracts are included in the "Contract assets" and "Contract liabilities" line items in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in unearned service-type warranty contracts, net were as follows:



	October 31, 2020
Balance at beginning of period	$	24,490
New contracts sold	20,756
Less: reductions for revenue recognized	(20,290		)
Foreign currency translation and other	560
Balance at end of period	$	25,516

As of ~~April 27, 2019, we had six~~October 31, 2020 and May 2, 2020, our contracts in progress that were identified as loss contracts ~~for which we recorded a~~were immaterial. For these contracts, the provision for losses ~~of $2,353 and two remaining contracts with loss estimates of $44 as of February 1, 2020. These were~~are included in the "Accrued expenses" line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020, we recognized revenue of ~~$43,394~~$37,973 related to our contract liabilities as of ~~April 27, 2019.~~May 2, 2020.

Remaining performance obligations

As of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was ~~$247,332.~~$254,253. We expect approximately ~~$209,949~~$211,663 of our remaining performance obligations to be recognized over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter. Remaining performance obligations related to product and service agreements at October 31, 2020 are ~~$187,423~~$200,505 and ~~$59,909,~~$53,748, respectively. Although remaining performance obligations reflect business that is considered to be legally binding, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. Any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals are reflected or excluded in the remaining performance obligation balance, as appropriate.

Note 5. Segment Reporting

We organize and manage our business by the following ~~five~~5 segments which meet the definition of reportable segments under ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting: Commercial, Live Events, High School Park and Recreation, Transportation, and International. These segments are based on the customer type or geography and are the same as our business units. We evaluate segment performance based on operating results through contribution margin, which is comprised of gross profit less selling expense. We exclude general and administration expense, product design and development expense, non-operating income and expense, and income tax expense (benefit) in the segment analysis. Separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by our chief operating decision-maker (CODM), who is our president and chief executive officer, in making resource allocation decisions for our segments.

We have numerous customers worldwide for sales of our products and services, and no customer accounted for 10% or more of net sales; therefore, we are not economically dependent on a limited number of customers for the sale of our products and services.

We have numerous raw material and component suppliers, and no supplier accounts for 10% or more of our cost of sales; however, we have a number of single-source suppliers that could limit our supply or cause delays in obtaining raw material and components needed in manufacturing.

Note 6. ~~Marketable Securities~~

We have a cash management program which provides for the investment of cash balances not used in current operations. We classify our investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale in accordance with the provisions of ASC 320, ~~Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.~~ Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As it relates to fixed income marketable securities, it is not likely we will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. In addition, as of February 1, 2020, we anticipate we will recover the entire amortized cost basis of such fixed income securities, and we have determined no other-than-temporary impairments associated with credit losses were required to be recognized. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Where quoted market prices are not available, we use the market price of similar types of securities traded in the market to estimate fair value.

~~As of February 1, 2020 and April 27, 2019, our available-for-sale securities consisted of the following:~~

Amortized Cost Unrealized Losses Fair Value
Balance as of February 1, 2020
Certificates of deposit $ 1,727
$ —

$ 1,727

(28 ) 10,482
Municipal bonds 1,626
(2 ) 1,624
$ 26,379
$ (35 ) $ 26,344

Realized gains or losses on investments are recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as "Other income (expense), net." Upon the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale, the security’s specific unrealized gain (loss) is reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings based on the specific identification method. In the nine months ended February 1, 2020 and January 26, 2019, the reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net earnings were immaterial.

~~Table of contents~~

All available-for-sale securities are classified as current assets, as they are readily available to support our current operating needs. The contractual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities as of February 1, 2020 were as follows:

~~Note 7. Business Combinations~~

~~AJT Systems, Inc. Acquisition~~

We acquired the net assets of AJT Systems, Inc. ("AJT"), a Florida-based company, on June 21, 2018. The results of its operations have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. We have not made pro forma disclosures about our acquisition of AJT because the results of its operations are not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

AJT is a developer of real-time live to air graphics rendering and video server systems for the broadcast TV industry. This acquisition will allow our organization to grow and strengthen our solution offerings to the market. This acquisition was primarily funded with cash on hand and with payments made over a three-year period.

~~Note 8.~~ Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill related to each reportable segment for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 were as follows:

We perform an analysis of goodwill on an annual basis, and it is tested for impairment more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. Our annual analysis is performed during our third quarter of each fiscal year, based on the goodwill amount as of the first business day of our third fiscal quarter. We performed our annual impairment test on November 4, 2019 and concluded no goodwill impairment existed.

In March 2020, we began to see the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic that could have a negative impact on our forecasted revenue and profitability and stock price. This, along with other market conditions, led us to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. After evaluating our results, events and circumstances, we determined no goodwill impairment was necessary. Although the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause uncertainty, in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we considered if any new events had occurred or if circumstances had changed such that it was more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units was below its carrying amount, and we did not identify any further impairment indicators; therefore, we did not perform an additional interim impairment analysis.

Note ~~10.~~7. Receivables

We invoice customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. We sometimes have the ability to file a contractor’s lien against the product installed as collateral and to file claims against surety bonds to protect our interest in receivables. Foreign sales are at times secured by irrevocable letters of credit or bank guarantees. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of ~~$2,466~~$3,216 and ~~$2,208~~$2,828 at ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 and ~~April 27, 2019,~~May 2, 2020, respectively. Included in accounts receivable as of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 and ~~April 27, 2019~~May 2, 2020 was ~~$265~~$621 and ~~$440,~~$687, respectively, of retainage on construction-type contracts, all of which is expected to be collected within one year.

Table of contents

In some contracts with customers, we agree to installment payments exceeding 12 months. The present value of these contracts ~~are~~is recorded as a receivable as the revenue is recognized in accordance with GAAP, and profit is recognized to the extent the present value is in excess of cost. We generally retain a security interest in the equipment or in the cash flow generated by the equipment until the contract is paid. The present value of long-term contracts, including accrued interest and current maturities, was ~~$6,858~~$3,033 and ~~$3,514~~$4,633 as of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 and ~~April 27, 2019,~~May 2, 2020, respectively. Contract receivables bearing annual interest rates of 5.0 to 9.0 percent are due in varying annual installments through 2024. The face value of long-term receivables was ~~$7,990~~$3,192 as of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 and ~~$3,271~~$5,166 as of ~~April 27, 2019.~~May 2, 2020.

Note 8. Financing Agreements

On November 15, 2019, we entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date of our credit agreement and a related revolving bank note from November 15, 2019 to November 15, 2022 and to modify certain other terms and financial covenants. On August 28, 2020, we entered into the third amendment to our credit agreement and a security agreement over certain assets. The third amendment adds a liquidity covenant and revises other financial covenants. The revolving amount of the agreement and note remains at $35,000, including up to $20,000 for commercial and standby letters of credit. The credit agreement and amendments require us to be in compliance with certain financial ratios and other covenants and contain customary events of default, including failure to comply with covenants, failure to pay or discharge material judgments and taxes, bankruptcy, failure to pay loans and fees, and change of control. The occurrence of an event of default by us would permit the lenders to terminate their commitments and accelerate loans repayment, obtain securitized assets, and require collateralization of outstanding letters of credit. As of October 31, 2020, $15,000 had been advanced to us under the loan portion of the line of credit, and the balance of letters of credit outstanding was approximately $6,853.

We are sometimes required to obtain bank guarantees or other financial instruments for display installations and utilize a global bank to provide such instruments. If we are unable to complete the installation work, our customer would draw on the banking arrangement, and the bank would subrogate its loss to Daktronics restricted cash accounts. As of October 31, 2020, we had $3,122 of such instruments outstanding.

As of October 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all applicable bank loan covenants.

Note ~~11.~~9. Share Repurchase Program

On June 17, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $40,000 of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. Under this program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in open market transactions and in privately negotiated transactions based on business, market, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. The repurchase program does not require the repurchase of a specific number of shares and may be terminated at any time.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~January 26, 2019,~~October 31, 2020, we had no0 repurchases of shares of our outstanding common stock. During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~February 1, 2020,~~November 2, 2019, we repurchased ~~378~~270 shares of common stock at a total cost of ~~$2,329.~~$1,682. As of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020, we had ~~$35,846~~$32,539 of remaining capacity under our current share repurchase program.

As part of our COVID-19 response, on April 1, 2020, our Board of Directors voted to suspend stock repurchases under our share repurchase program for the foreseeable future.

~~Note 12. Leases~~

We lease facilities and various equipment to manufacture products and provide employee collaboration space and tools. These are all classified as operating leases and have initial lease terms ranging from one to five years. These operating leases do not contain material

~~Table of contents~~

~~residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Our lease in Sioux Falls, SD has a purchase option. We do not have any financing leases.~~

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The operating lease right-of-use asset includes any prepaid lease payments and initial direct costs and excludes any lease incentives and impairments. Some of our leases include options to extend the term, which is only included in the right-of-use assets and lease liability calculation when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and we have elected to account for all asset classes as a single lease component. Our operating leases also typically require payment of real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance. These components comprise the majority of our variable lease cost and are excluded from the present value of our lease obligations. In instances where they are fixed, they are included due to our election to combine lease and non-lease components. Our total variable lease costs are immaterial.

Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and short-term lease cost is recognized when paid. During the three and nine months ended February 1, 2020, the operating lease cost was $886 and $2,748, respectively, which includes immaterial short-term leases. Both are recognized in cost of sales and operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

~~As of February 1, 2020, the weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate related to operating leases was 5.1 years and 3.5%.~~

~~Supplemental unaudited cash flow information related to operating leases include:~~

Three Months Ended February 1, 2020 Nine Months Ended February 1, 2020

~~(1) Includes $3,879 to extend the term of our Sioux Falls, South Dakota manufacturing facility.~~

Note ~~13.~~10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation: We are a party to legal proceedings and claims which arise during the ordinary course of business.

As of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 and ~~April 27, 2019, $2,025~~May 2, 2020, $2,166 and ~~$1,072,~~$2,072, respectively, were included in the "Accrued expenses" line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for athe probable and reasonably estimated cost to settle a patent litigation claim. ~~The costs are included in cost of sales in the High School Park and Recreation business unit.~~

For other unresolved legal proceedings or claims, we do not believe there is a reasonable probability that any material loss will be incurred. Accordingly, no material accrual or disclosure of a potential range of loss has been made related to these matters. We do not expect the ultimate liability of these unresolved legal proceedings or claims to have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

Warranties: Changes in our warranty obligation for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 consisted of the following:

Performance guarantees: We have entered into standby letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds with financial institutions relating to the guarantee of our future performance on contracts, primarily construction-type contracts. As of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020, we had outstanding letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds in the amount of $~~14,760~~6,853, $3,122 and $~~5,335~~31,314, respectively. Performance guarantees are issued to certain customers to guarantee the operation and installation of the equipment and our ability to complete a contract. These performance guarantees have various terms but are generally one year. We enter into written agreements with our customers, and those agreements often contain indemnification provisions that require us to make the customer whole if certain acts or omissions by us cause the customer financial loss. We make efforts to negotiate reasonable caps and limitations on the recovery of such damages. As of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020, we were not aware of any indemnification claim from a customer.

~~Purchase commitments:~~ From time to time, we commit to purchase inventory, advertising, cloud-based information systems, information technology maintenance and support services, and various other products and services over periods that extend beyond one year. As of February 1, 2020, we were obligated under the following unconditional purchase commitments:

Note ~~14.~~11. Income Taxes

~~We calculate the~~The provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods is calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate ~~for the full fiscal year~~ to “ordinary” income or loss ~~(pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items)~~ for the reporting ~~period.~~period, adjusted for discrete items. Due to various factors, ~~and operating in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions,~~including our estimate of annual income, our effective tax rate is subject to fluctuation.

Our effective tax rate for the ~~nine~~three and six months ended ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 ~~increased to 51.6~~was 41.1 percent and 26.2 percent, respectively, as compared to ~~a negative 71.8~~an effective tax rate benefit of 63.8 percent and 14.6 percent for the ~~nine~~three and six months ended ~~January 26,~~November 2, 2019. The ~~quarterly~~ change in the effective tax ~~rate was caused~~rates are primarily driven by ~~discrete one-time impacts of $3,255 recognized~~a decrease in ~~the third quarter of fiscal 2019 due to the release of a~~ tax ~~reserve for a lapse of the statute~~credits and a valuation allowance reversal related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards. The estimated effective tax rate for fiscal 2020 of 51.6 percent is the result of the expected net taxes and credits being higherother permanent differences as a ~~proportion~~percentage of ~~expected~~estimated current fiscal year pre-tax ~~earnings.~~income.

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years 2017, 2018, 2019 and ~~2019~~2020 remain open to federal tax examinations, and fiscal years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and ~~2019~~2020 remain open for various state income tax examinations. Certain subsidiaries are also subject to income tax in several foreign jurisdictions which have open tax years varying by jurisdiction beginning in fiscal 2009. In the event of any future tax assessments, we have elected to record the income taxes and any related interest and penalties as income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

As of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020, undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are considered to be reinvested indefinitely. Additionally, we had ~~$576~~$697 of unrecognized tax benefits which would reduce our effective tax rate if recognized.

There have been no changes in the valuation techniques used by us to value our financial instruments since the end of fiscal ~~2019.~~2020. For additional information, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended ~~April 27, 2019~~May 2, 2020 for the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument.

~~Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments~~

We utilize derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates on those transactions denominated in currencies other than our functional currency, which is the U.S. dollar. We enter into currency forward contracts to manage these economic risks. We account for all derivatives in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within accounts receivable or accounts payable measured at fair value, and changes in fair values are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met for cash flow or net investment hedges. As of February 1, 2020 and April 27, 2019, we had not designated any of our derivative instruments as accounting hedges, and thus we recorded the changes in fair value in the "Other income (expense), net" line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including exhibits and any information incorporated by reference herein) contains both historical and forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The statements contained in this Report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions and strategies for the future. These statements appear in a number of places in this Report and include all statements that are not historical statements of fact regarding the intent, belief or current expectations with respect to, among other things: (i.) our competition; (ii.) our financing ~~plans;~~plans and ability to maintain adequate liquidity; (iii.) trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations; (iv.) our growth and operating strategies; (v.) the declaration and payment of dividends; (vi.) the timing and magnitude of future contracts; (vii.) raw material shortages and lead times; (viii.) fluctuations in margins; (ix.) the seasonality of our business; (x.) the introduction of new products and technology; (xi.) the amount and frequency of warranty claims; (xii.) our ability to manage the impact that new or adjusted tariffs may have on the cost of raw materials and components and our ability to sell product internationally; (xiii.) the resolution of litigation contingencies; ~~and~~ (xiv.) the timing and magnitude of any acquisitions or ~~dispositions.~~dispositions; (xv.) the impact of governmental laws, regulations, and orders, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the coronavirus; and (xvi.) disruptions to our business caused by geopolitical events, military actions, work stoppages, natural disasters, or international health emergencies, such as the COVID-19

Table of contents

pandemic. The words “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed herein, including those discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended ~~April 27, 2019~~May 2, 2020 in the section entitled “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and those factors discussed in detail in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report. The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to total costs on long-term construction-type contracts, costs to be incurred for product warranties and extended maintenance contracts, bad debts, excess and obsolete inventory, income taxes, share-based compensation, goodwill impairment and contingencies. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

OVERVIEW

~~Table of contents~~

We design, manufacture and sell a wide range of display systems to customers throughout the world. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on markets, geographical regions and products. Our five business segments consist of four domestic business units and the International business unit. The four domestic business units consist of Commercial, Live Events, High School Park and Recreation, and Transportation, all of which include the geographic territories of the United States and Canada. Disclosures related to our business segments are provided in "Note 5. Segment Reporting" of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Our net sales and profitability historically have fluctuated due to the impact of uniquely configured orders, such as display systems for professional sports facilities, colleges and universities, and spectacular projects in the commercial area, as well as the seasonality of the sports market. Uniquely configured orders can include several displays, controllers, and subcontracted structure builds, each of which can occur on varied schedules per the customer's needs. ~~Outdoor installation sales can be impacted by outdoor weather conditions and the construction season. Our~~Historically, our third fiscal quarter ~~tends to be a slower quarter because it includes two holidays, it is affected by sports seasonality,~~sales and ~~generally less outdoor construction work occurs~~profit levels are lighter than other quarters due to ~~weather conditions.~~the seasonality of our sports business, construction cycles, and the reduced number of production days due to holidays in the quarter.

Our gross margins tend to fluctuate more on uniquely configured orders than on limited configured orders. Uniquely configured orders involving competitive bidding and substantial ~~subcontract~~subcontracting work for product installation generally have lower gross margins. Although we follow the over time method of recognizing revenues for uniquely configured orders, we nevertheless have experienced fluctuations in operating results and expect our future results of operations will be subject to similar fluctuations.

Our remaining performance obligations ("backlog") consist of contractually binding sales agreements or purchase orders for integrated electronic display systems and related products and service. Orders are included in backlog when we are in receipt of an executed contract and any required deposits or security. As a result, certain orders for which we have received binding letters of intent or contracts will not be included in backlog until all required contractual documents and deposits are received. Backlog can fluctuate due to large order bookings and the timing and seasonality of net sales. Because order backlog fluctuates and may be subject to extended delivery schedules, orders may be canceled and have varied estimated profitability. Our backlog is not necessarily indicative of future net sales or net income. Backlog is not a measure defined by GAAP, and our methodology for determining backlog may vary from the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog amounts.

GENERAL

Our mission is to be the world leader at informing and entertaining audiences through dynamic ~~audio-visual~~audiovisual communication systems. We organize into business units to focus on customer loyalty over time to earn new and replacement business because our products have a finite lifetime. See "Note 5. Segment Reporting" of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report for further information. Our strategies include the creation of a comprehensive line of innovative solutions and systems and our ability to create and leverage platform designs and technologies. These strategies align us to effectively deliver value to our varied customers and their market needs, while serving our stakeholders over the long-term. We focus on creating local capabilities for sales, service, and manufacturing in geographies with expected digital market opportunities. We believe consistently generating profitable growth will provide value to our stakeholders (customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers, and communities).

We measure our success using a variety of measures including:

our percentage of market share by comparing our estimated revenue to the total estimated global digital display revenue,

our order growth compared to the overall digital market order change,

financial metrics such as annual order volume and profit change as compared to our previous financial results,

customer retention and expansion rates, and

our ability to generate profits over the long-term to provide a shareholder return.

Certain factors impact our ability to succeed in these strategies and impact our business units to varying degrees. For example, the overall cost to manufacture and the selling prices of our products have decreased over the years and are expected to continue to decrease in the future. Our competitors outside the U.S. are impacted differently by the global trade environment allowing them to avoid tariff costs or reduce prices. As a result, additional competitors have entered the market, and each year we must sell more product to generate the same or greater level of net sales as in previous fiscal years. However, the decline of digital solution pricing over the years and increased user adoption and applications have increased the size of the global market. ~~In the near-term, orders and sales timing may be impacted by the coronavirus situation ("COVID-19") potentially causing customer order delays and supply chain disruptions.~~

Competitor offerings, actions and reactions also can vary and change over time or in certain customer situations. Projects with multimillion-dollar revenue potential attracts competition, and competitors can use marketing or other tactics to win business.

Each ~~of our~~ business unit's long-term performance can be impacted by economic conditions in different ways and to different degrees. The effects of an adverse economy are generally less severe on our sports related business as compared to our other businesses, although in severe economic downturns with social changes causing decreases in sporting event revenues, the sports business can also be seriously impacted.

Outlook: The COVID-19 pandemic has created disruptions since its initial outbreak, first impacting our China operations. Beginning in February, we created COVID-19 response teams to manage our local and global response activities. Using the guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and other applicable regulatory agencies, we enhanced or implemented robust health, safety, and cleaning protocols across our organization.

Throughout the first six months of fiscal 2021, employees have worked from home where possible, and we have limited travel for the time being. When unable to work safely or within the various regulations in certain geographies and locations and because demand decreased, our sales, manufacturing and field service teams have reduced capacity and furloughed employees.

Our sales teams have continued to engage our customers to promote our value, mostly virtually, across our diverse markets and geographies. However, our customers reduced their spend on audiovisual systems and related services through the first half of our fiscal year as they work through the economic and business implications of COVID-19. We took corresponding actions to reduce operating expenses to align with expected order and sales declines expected for the remainder of the year. These expense reductions vary in permanency and may change throughout the fiscal year.

Our supply chain team has remained alert to potential short supply situations and shipping disruptions, and, if necessary, we are utilizing alternative sources and shipping methods.

We expect the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to have an adverse impact on our revenue and our results of operations, the amount and duration of which we are currently unable to predict. The global impact of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate severity and spread of the disease, the duration of the pandemic, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines, travel restrictions and social distancing requirements in the United States and other countries, the pace and extent of the economic recovery, and any change in trends and practices in how people gather. Given the speed and frequency of continuously evolving developments with respect to this pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude of the impact to our business.

Table of contents

As we continue through fiscal 2021, our operating results are going to be challenged due to this crisis. We continue to manage our cost structure to meet the uncertain demand, while taking additional cost reductions as needed. Our customers' businesses are subject to the fluctuations in global economic cycles and conditions and other business risk factors which may impact their ability to operate their businesses. The performance and financial condition of our customers may cause us to alter our business terms or to cease doing business with a particular customer. Further, the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses could adversely impact our customers' ability to pay us for work performed and increase our future estimate of credit losses.

~~We can be impacted by short-term events like~~

In addition to the ~~U.S. Administrative trade actions in 2018 or a number of other factors that are disclosed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for~~COVID-19 impacts noted above, the ~~fiscal year ended April 27, 2019.~~

~~The~~ outlook and unique key growth drivers and challenges by our business units include:

Commercial Business Unit: In the near-term, our customers who rely on advertising revenues for Out-of-Home ("OOH") advertising or who are reliant on customer foot-traffic to drive sales have been adversely impacted by stay-at-home or quarantine orders which started in March 2020 with varied or no published expiration. These customers are expected to delay their discretionary capital spending through the COVID-19 economic recovery. Businesses using our displays for self-promotion or on-premise advertising may have reduced budgets for the foreseeable future or may choose to utilize displays as part of their recovery, both actions creating an impact to the Commercial business' near-term outlook. We cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude or length of time our Commercial business will be adversely impacted.

Over the long-term, we believe growth in the Commercial business unit will result from a number of factors, including:

Standard display product market growth due to market adoption and lower product costs, which drive marketplace expansion. Standard display products are used to attract or communicate with customers and potential customers of retail, commercial, and other establishments. Pricing and economic conditions are the principal factors that impact our success in this business unit. We utilize a reseller network to distribute our standard products.

National accounts standard display market opportunities due to customers' desire to communicate their message, advertising and content consistently across the country. Increased demand is possible from national retailers, quick serve restaurants, petroleum retailers, and other nationwide organizations.

Additional standard display offerings using micro-light emitting diode ("LED") designs.

Increasing use of LED technologies replacing signage previously using liquid crystal display ("LCD") technology by existing and new customers.

Increasing interest in spectaculars, which include very large and sometimes highly customized displays as part of entertainment venues such as casinos, shopping centers, cruise ships and Times Square type locations.

Dynamic messaging systems demand growth due to market adoption and expanded use of this technology.

The use of architectural lighting products for commercial buildings, which real estate owners use to add accents or effects to an entire side or circumference of a building to communicate messages or to decorate the building.

The continued deployment of digital billboards as ~~Out-of-Home ("OOH")~~OOH advertising companies continue developing new sites and replacing digital billboards reaching end of life. This is dependent on no adverse changes occurring in the digital billboard regulatory environment restricting future billboard deployments, as well as maintaining our current market share in a business that is concentrated in a few large OOH companies.

Replacement cycles within each of these areas.

Live Events Business Unit: Our customers have been adversely impacted by governmental limitations on the number of people allowed to gather in certain spaces which started in March 2020 with varied or no published expiration. In the near-term, our customers who rely on advertising and event revenues are expected to delay spending on projects because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes to the ways and willingness of how people gather may change the long-term demand for our systems.

Over the long-term, we believe growth in the Live Events business unit will result from a number of factors, including:

Facilities spending more on larger display systems to enhance the game-day and event experience for attendees.

Lower product costs, driving an expansion of the marketplace.

Our product and service offerings, including additional micro-LED offerings which remain the most integrated and comprehensive offerings in the industry.

The competitive nature of sports teams, which strive to out-perform their competitors with display systems.

The desire for high-definition video displays, which typically drives larger displays or higher resolution displays, both of which increase the average transaction size.

Dynamic messaging system needs throughout a sports facility.

Increasing use of LED technologies replacing signage previously using LCD technology in and surrounding live events facilities.

Replacement cycles within each of these areas.

Table of contents

High School Park and Recreation Business Unit: In the near-term, our customers who rely on advertising revenue for sports installations or who may be impacted by governmental tax revenue availability may choose to delay spending on projects because of the impacts on their business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Over the long-term, we believe growth in the High School Park and Recreation business unit will result from a number of factors, including:

Increased demand for video systems in high schools as school districts realize the revenue generating potential of these displays compared to traditional scoreboards and these systems' ability to provide or enhance academic curriculum offerings for students.

Increased demand for different types of displays and dynamic messaging systems, such as message centers at schools to communicate to students, parents and the broader community.

Lower system costs driving the use of more sophisticated displays in school athletic facilities, such as large integrated video systems.

Expanding control system options tailored for the markets' needs.

Transportation Business Unit: In the near term, customers in the mass-transit and airport part of the market are expected to delay spending as a result of the limited use of this infrastructure and impact on their financial stability during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the long-term, roadway projects may be impacted due to reduced tax revenues. That impact will increase as the duration of the reduction in infrastructure usage continues.

Over the long-term, we believe growth in the Transportation business unit will result from ~~increasing~~a number of factors including:

Increasing applications and acceptance of electronic displays to manage transportation systems, including roadway, airport, parking, transit and other applications.

Effective use of the United States transportation infrastructure requires intelligent transportation systems. This growth is highly dependent on government spending, primarily by state and federal governments, along with the continuing acceptance of private/public partnerships as an alternative funding source. ~~Growth is also expected in~~

Expanded use of dynamic messaging systems for advertising and wayfinding

use in public transport and airport terminals due to expanded market usage and displays, with LED technology replacing prior LCD installations and additional display offerings using micro-LEDs.

International Business Unit: In the near-term, our customers who rely on advertising, retail, event revenues and governmental tax revenue availability are expected to delay spending on projects due to the impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes to the ways and willingness of how people gather may change the long-term demand for our systems.

Over the long-term, we believe growth in the International business unit will result from ~~achieving~~a number of factors including:

Achieving greater penetration in various geographies and building products more suited to individual markets. We continue to broaden our product offerings into the transportation segment in Europe and the Middle East. ~~We also~~

Continued focus on sports facility, spectacular-type, OOH advertising products, and architectural lighting market opportunities and the factors listed in each of the other business units to the extent they apply outside of the United States and Canada.

Additional opportunities exist with expanded market usage of LED technology due to price considerations, usage of LED technology replacing prior LCD installations and additional display offerings using micro-LEDs.

Gross profit is net sales less cost of sales. Cost of sales consists primarily of inventory, logistics related costs including tariffs and duties, consumables, salaries, other employee-related costs, facilities-related costs for manufacturing locations, machinery and equipment maintenance and depreciation, site sub-contractors, warranty costs, and other service delivery expenses.

The ~~decrease in our~~improved gross profit ~~percentage for~~rate is a result of the ~~three months ended February 1, 2020~~mix of service agreement sales in second quarter fiscal 2021 as compared to the ~~same period one year ago was due to an increase in tariff related expenses~~second quarter of ~~approximately $0.6 million, or a 0.5% impact to gross profit, as last year at this time tariffs were just being introduced on US imports~~fiscal 2020.

pacity and reduce on-going expenses due to the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The approximate cost was $1.3 million and is included in the "Costs of sales" line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, which was offset by $0.4 million of governmental wage subsidies.

We earned a higher rate of gross profit on our service agreements due to reduced stand ready services conducted during the quarter. This was due to lower on-site demand as events were not being held. We believe this higher gross profit level will not be sustained in future quarters. Total warranty as a percent of sales decreased to ~~1.3%~~0.6 percent for the three months ended ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 as compared to ~~1.6%~~2.2 percent during the three months ended ~~January 26,~~November 2, 2019. ~~The following describes the overall impact by business unit for the three months ended February 1, 2020 compared to the same period one year ago:~~

The gross profit percent decreased in the Commercial business unit primarily due to higher warranty expense, product mix, and additional project delivery costs. The gross profit percent decreased in the Transportation business unit primarily due to lower sales volumes over relatively fixed infrastructure costs, which was partially offset by lower warranty expense. The gross profit percent decreased in the International business unit primarily due to a change in sales mix, which was partially offset by lower warranty expense and higher sales volumes over relatively fixed infrastructure costs. The gross profit percent increased in the Live Events business unit primarily due to higher sales volumes over relatively fixed infrastructure costs and lower warranty expense. The gross profit percent increased in the High School Park and Recreation business unit primarily due to lower warranty expense and a non-recurring litigation claim that was recorded during the same period one year ago.

Contribution margin consists of gross profit less selling expenses. Selling expenses consist primarily of salaries, other employee-related costs, travel and entertainment expenses, facility-related costs for sales and service offices, bad debt expenses, third-party commissions and expenditures for marketing efforts, including the costs of collateral materials, conventions and trade shows, product demonstrations, customer relationship management systems, and supplies.

Contribution margin is impacted by the previously discussed sales and gross margin for each business unit. Each business unit's contribution margin was impacted by ~~an increase~~a decrease in ~~selling~~personnel related expenses offset by severance costs for reductions in force, as well as reductions in travel and entertainment, marketing, and convention related expenses as a result of the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Product design and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, other employee-related costs, professional services, facilities costs and equipment-related costs and supplies. Product design and development investments in the near term are focused on developing or improving our video technology over a wide range of pixel pitches for both indoor and outdoor applications. These new or improved technologies are focused on varied pixel density for image quality and use, expanded product line offerings for our various markets and geographies, improved quality and reliability, and improved cost points. We plan to make continued investments in our software and controller capabilities throughout our various product offerings. Through our design efforts, we focus on standardizing display components and control systems for both single site and network displays.

Our costs for product design and development represent an allocated amount of costs based on time charges, professional services, material costs and the overhead of our engineering departments. Generally, a significant portion of our engineering time is spent on product design and development, while the rest is allocated to large contract work and included in cost of sales.

We continued to see the global spread of COVID-19 impact order volumes and we took various steps to solidify our financial position and reduce expenses. During the first six months of fiscal 2021, we completed a special voluntary retirement and voluntary exit offering with 60 employees and we conducted a reduction in force of 258 employees to adjust our capacity and reduce on-going expenses due to the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The approximate cost of these programs included in the "Costs of sales" line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations was $2.8 million, which was offset by $1.0 million of governmental wage subsidies.

We earned a higher rate of gross profit on our service agreements due to reduced stand ready services conducted during the six months ended October 31, 2020. This was due to lower on-site demand as events were not being held. We believe this higher gross profit level will not be sustained in future quarters. Total warranty as a percent

~~Table of contents~~

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities: Cash generated by operating activities is primarily derived from cash received from customers, offset by cash payments for inventories, subcontractors, employee related costs, and operating expense outflows. Operating cash flows consist primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes, and the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Overall, changes in net operating assets and liabilities can be impacted by the timing of cash flows on large orders, which can cause significant short-term and seasonal fluctuations in inventory, accounts receivables, accounts payable, contract assets and liabilities, and various other operating assets and liabilities. Variability in contract assets and liabilities relates to the timing of billings on construction-type contracts and revenue recognition, which can vary significantly depending on contractual payment terms and build and installation schedules. Balances are also impacted by the seasonality of the sports market.

Net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$6.2~~$40.0 million for the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $10.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020. The $50.3 million increase in cash provided by operating activities of $32.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. The $26.0 million decrease in cash used in operating activities from the first nine months of fiscal 2019 to the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was primarily the result of changes in net operating assets and liabilities of $17.4 million, $8.3 million decrease in net income, $0.9 million in depreciation and amortization, and $0.4 million in other non-cash items, net, adjusted by a $1.0 million change in a contingent liability.liabilities.

Year-to-date cash provided from operations differed as compared to last year primarily due to order volatility in Live Events and Transportation business units, which had large dollar projects this year as compared to last year. This accounted for most of the changes in accounts receivable, contract assets, long-term receivables, and contract liabilities and equates to $29.8 million of the change in net cash provided by operating activities as compared to last year.

The changes in operating assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

Other Liquidity and Capital Resources Discussion: The timing and amounts of working capital changes, dividend payments, stock repurchase program, and capital spending impact our liquidity.

Working capital was $~~113.2~~129.0 million and ~~$119.6~~$106.0 million at ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020 and ~~April 27, 2019,~~May 2, 2020, respectively. The changes in working capital, particularly changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory, and contract assets and liabilities, and the sports market seasonality can have a significant impact on the amount of net cash provided by operating activities largely due to the timing of payments and receipts. On multimillion-dollar orders, the time between order acceptance and project completion may extend up to or exceed 12 months or more depending on the amount of custom work and a customer’s delivery needs. We often receive down payments or progress payments on these orders.

We had ~~$3.2~~$5.7 million of retainage on long-term contracts included in receivables and contract assets as of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020, which has an impact on our liquidity. We expect to collect these amounts within one year. ~~When working capital is needed, we~~We have historically financed our cash needs through a combination of cash flow from operations and borrowings under bank credit agreements.~~During the third quarter~~

Table of fiscal 2020 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we violated one of our bank covenants, but we received a waiver from our banking institution for the quarter ended February 1, 2020 and year ended April 27, 2019.contents

On November 15, 2019, we entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date of our credit agreement and a related revolving bank note from November 15, 2019 to November 15, 2022 and to modify certain other terms and financial covenants. On August 28, 2020, we entered into the third amendment to our credit agreement and a security agreement over certain assets. The third amendment adds a liquidity covenant and revises other financial covenants. The revolving amount of the agreement and note remains at $35.0 million, including up to ~~$15.0~~$20.0 million for commercial and standby letters of credit. The credit agreement ~~is unsecured~~ and ~~requires~~amendments require us to be in compliance with certain financial ratios, including the most sensitive covenant of interest bearing debt to earnings before income taxes, depreciation, and amortization of less than 2.5; and other ~~covenants.~~covenants and contain customary events of default, including failure to comply with covenants, failure to pay or discharge material judgments and taxes, bankruptcy, failure to pay loans and fees, and change of control. The occurrence of an event of default by us would permit the lenders to terminate their commitments and accelerate loans repayment, obtain securitized assets, and require collateralization of outstanding letters of credit. As of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020, ~~there were no advances~~$15.0 million had been advanced to us under the loan portion of the line of credit, and the balance of letters of credit outstanding was approximately ~~$6.3~~$6.9 million. As of October 31, 2020, $13.1 million of the credit facility remains in place and available. As of October 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all applicable bank loan covenants.

We are sometimes required to obtain bank guarantees or other financial instruments for display installations and ~~we have~~utilize a global ~~banking relationship~~bank to provide such instruments. If we are unable to ~~meet~~complete the ~~terms of the arrangement,~~installation work, our customer would draw on the banking arrangement, and the bank would subrogate its loss to ~~Daktronics.~~Daktronics restricted cash accounts. As of ~~February 1,~~October 31, 2020, we had ~~$8.5~~$3.1 million of such instruments outstanding.

We are sometimes required to obtain performance bonds for display installations, and we have a bonding line available through a surety company for an aggregate of $150.0 million in bonded work outstanding. If we were unable to complete the installation work, and our customer would call upon the bond for payment, the surety company would subrogate its loss to Daktronics. ~~At February 1,~~As of October 31, 2020, we had $~~5.3~~31.3 million of bonded work outstanding against this line.

Our business growth and profitability improvement strategies depend on investments in capital expenditures and strategic investments. We are projecting capital expenditures ~~and an investment in a technology company~~ to be approximately ~~$33~~$15 million for fiscal ~~2020.~~2021. Projected capital expenditures include manufacturing equipment for new or enhanced product production, expanded capacity, investments in quality and reliability equipment, and continued information infrastructure investments. We also evaluate and may invest in new technologies or acquire companies aligned with our business strategy.

We believe our working capital available from all sources will be adequate to meet the cash requirements of our operations and strategies in the foreseeable future. If our growth extends beyond current expectations, or if we make significant strategic investments, we may need to utilize and possibly increase our credit facilities or seek other means of financing. We anticipate we will be able to obtain any needed funds under commercially reasonable terms from our current lenders or other sources, although this availability cannot be ~~guaranteed.~~guaranteed, especially given the uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

We believe the audiovisual industry fundamentals will drive long-term growth for our business, but the near-term outlook shows contraction and greater volatility overall. We expect our customers will continue to have disruptions in revenue caused by COVID-19 throughout the current fiscal year. While it is difficult to estimate the longevity and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic impact to the economy and to our financial position, operating results, and cash flows, we continue to take proactive steps to solidify our financial position and mitigate any adverse consequences. These steps include:

preserving liquidity by drawing down $15 million from our existing line of credit and pursuing other sources of financing;

reducing investments in capital assets; we estimate approximately $15 million in capital expenses in fiscal year 2021;

reducing executive pay and Board member compensation;

utilizing tax and other government opportunities to improve liquidity;

temporarily furloughing and permanently reducing our staffing and associated salaries, where necessary, to maintain a right-sized skilled workforce;

instituting other cost reductions across the business;

suspending stock repurchases under our share repurchase program; and

suspending dividend declarations for the foreseeable future.

We believe these measures are necessary to help preserve our ability to borrow for liquidity needs and provide adequate working capital to weather the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, no assurance can be made that we will be able to secure such financing, if needed, on favorable terms or at all, or that these strategies will be successful. We continue to carefully monitor this crisis, its impact on market demand, and our expense structure and will take additional actions as needed.

We are exposed to certain interest rate, foreign currency, and commodity risks as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended ~~April 27, 2019.~~May 2, 2020. There have been no material changes in our exposure to these risks during the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal ~~2020.~~2021.
