Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in ~~thousands,~~millions, except ~~per~~ share and per-share data)

1. Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by RBC Bearings Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim financial statements included with this report have been prepared on a consistent basis with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form ~~10-K/A~~10-K for the fiscal year ended April ~~2, 2022.~~1, 2023 (our “Annual Report”). We condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ~~(U.S. GAAP)~~(“GAAP”). As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “RBC” and the “Company” mean RBC Bearings Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.

These financial statements reflect all adjustments, accruals, and estimates, consisting only of items of a normal recurring nature, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in ~~the~~our Annual ~~Report on Form 10-K/A.~~Report.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual ~~Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended April 2, 2022.~~Report.

~~Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting new accounting standards are discussed below.~~

~~Recent Accounting Standards Adopted~~

~~Not applicable.~~

~~Recent Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted~~

~~In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04,~~ ~~Reference Rate Reform~~ ~~(Topic 848) -~~ ~~Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting~~. The objective of the standard is to address operational challenges likely to arise in accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting due to reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The standard update is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. This guidance is available immediately and may be implemented in any period prior to the guidance expiration on December 31, 2022. The Company will adopt this ASU during the third quarter of our fiscal year. The impact of the adoption of this standard update is dependent on the Company's contracts modifications as a result of reference rate reform; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments associated with hedging relationships to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

~~Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after April 1, 2023 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.~~

The following table illustrates the approximate percentage of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied over time versus the amount of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended						Three Months Ended
	October 1, 2022			October 2, 2021			October 1, 2022			October 2, 2021			July 1, 2023			July 2, 2022

Total		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders meeting the definition of a contract for which work has not been performed or has been partially performed and excludes unexercised contract options. The duration of the majority of our contracts, as defined by ASC Topic 606, is less than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, which allows ~~companies~~the Company to exclude remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one year was approximately ~~$305,457~~$413.4 at ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022.~~2023. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 63% and ~~91%~~90% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections ~~affect~~affects accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Contract Assets (Unbilled Receivables) - Pursuant to the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customer being invoiced. An unbilled receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when (1) the cost-to-cost method is applied and (2) such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer.

As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022~~2023 and April ~~2, 2022,~~1, 2023, current contract assets were ~~$4,707~~$5.3 and ~~$3,882,~~$4.5, respectively, and included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in contract assets was primarily due to the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations prior to billing, partially offset by amounts billed to customers during the period. As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022~~2023 and April ~~2, 2022,~~1, 2023, the Company did not have any contract assets classified as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheets.

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue) - The Company may receive a customer advance or deposit, or have an unconditional right to receive a customer advance, prior to revenue being recognized. Since the performance obligations related to such advances may not have been satisfied, a contract liability is established. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as the timing of the transfer of the related goods or services is at the discretion of the customer.

As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022~~2023 and April ~~2, 2022,~~1, 2023, current contract liabilities were ~~$22,414~~$23.1 and ~~$19,556,~~$20.6, respectively, and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in current contract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments received and the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received from the noncurrent portion of contract liabilities partially offset by revenue recognized on customer contracts. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company recognized revenues of ~~$3,606 and $7,474, respectively,~~$4.6 that were included in the contract liability balance as of April ~~2, 2022.~~1, 2023. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~October~~July 2, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recognized revenues of ~~$2,129 and $6,779, respectively,~~$3.9 that were included in the contract liability balance at April ~~3, 2021.~~2, 2022.

As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022~~2023 and April ~~2, 2022,~~1, 2023, noncurrent contract liabilities were ~~$9,295~~$21.4 and ~~$10,401,~~$19.8, respectively, and included within other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The ~~decrease~~increase in noncurrent contract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments received, partially offset by the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received to the current portion of contract liabilities.

Variable Consideration

The amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for ~~the~~ goods and services is not generally subject to significant variations. However, the Company does offer certain customers rebates, prompt payment discounts, end-user discounts and the right to return eligible ~~products, and/or other forms of variable consideration.~~products. The Company estimates this variable consideration using the expected value amount, which is based on historical experience. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Accrued customer rebates were ~~$38,829~~$40.2 and ~~$35,234~~$39.6 at ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022~~2023 and April ~~2, 2022,~~1, 2023, respectively, and are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive ~~Income~~ Income/(Loss)

The components of comprehensive ~~income~~ income/(loss) that relate to the Company are net ~~income/(loss),~~income, foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in fair value of derivative, and pension plan and postretirement benefits.

The following summarizes the activity within each component of accumulated other comprehensive ~~income~~ income/(loss), net of taxes:

Balance at October 1, 2022 $ (14,618 ) $ (5,590 ) $ (20,208 )

5. Net ~~Income/(Loss) Per Share Available~~income Per-share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic net ~~income/(loss) per share available~~income per-share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net ~~income/(loss) available~~income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted net ~~income/(loss) per share available~~income per-share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net ~~income/(loss) available~~income attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and the conversion of the outstanding 5.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) to common shares. ~~The MCPS was issued on September 24, 2021.~~

We exclude outstanding stock options, stock awards and the MCPS from the calculations if the effect would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the MCPS is calculated using the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes that these securities were converted to shares of common stock at the later of the September 24, 2021 issuance date or the beginning of the reporting period to the extent that the effect is dilutive. If the effect is anti-dilutive, we calculate net ~~income/(loss) per share available~~income per-share attributable to common stockholders by adjusting ~~net income/(loss) in~~ the numerator for the effect of the cumulative MCPS dividends for the respective period.

For the ~~three- and six-month~~three-month periods ended ~~October~~July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively, the effect of assuming the conversion of the 4,600,000 shares of MCPS into shares of common stock was anti-dilutive, and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings ~~per share available~~per-share attributable to common stockholders. Accordingly, net ~~income/(loss)~~income was reduced by cumulative MCPS dividends, as presented in our consolidated statement of operations, for purposes of calculating the numerator in the diluted net ~~income/(loss) available~~income per share attributable to common stockholders.

For the three months ended ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022, 90,796~~2023, 125,898 employee stock options and 485 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings ~~per share available~~per-share attributable to common stockholders. For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~October 1,~~July 2, 2022, ~~110,692~~202,894 employee stock options and ~~9,780~~29,054 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings ~~per share available~~per-share attributable to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options and restricted shares would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended October 2, 2021, no employee stock options or restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. For the six months ended October 2, 2021, 159,925 employee stock options and no restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

The table below reflects the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for each period presented as well as the computation of basic and diluted net ~~income/(loss) per share available~~income per-share attributable to common stockholders.

6. Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As a result of the occurrence of triggering events such as purchase accounting for acquisitions, the Company ~~does measure~~measures certain assets and liabilities based on Level 3 inputs.

Financial ~~Instruments:~~Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and ~~long-term debt.~~a derivative in the form of an interest rate swap. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Long-term assets held on our balance ~~sheet~~sheets related to benefit plan obligations are measured at fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $448.0 and $450.0 at July 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $493.5 at July 1, 2023 and $493.3 at April 1, 2023. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate debt was measured using Level 1 inputs. Due to the nature of fair value calculations for variable-rate debt, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term variable-rate debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swap was $3.4 at July 1, 2023, and is included in other noncurrent assets on the Company’s ~~long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $421,745~~consolidated balance sheets, and ~~$463,750 at October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $492,822 at October 1, 2022 and $492,396~~$2.8 at April ~~2, 2022.~~1, 2023, and is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of ~~long-term fixed-rate debt was~~the interest rate swap is measured using Level 2 inputs.

The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments.

10. Debt

Domestic Credit Facility

On November 1, 2021 RBC Bearings Incorporated, our top holding company, and our Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. subsidiary (“RBCA”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the ~~“New Credit~~“Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer and the other lenders party ~~thereto, and terminated the Company’s prior Credit Agreement, which was entered into with Wells Fargo in 2015 (the “2015 Credit Agreement”).~~thereto. The ~~New~~ Credit Agreement provides the Company with (a) a ~~$1,300,000~~$1,300.0 term loan ~~facility~~ (the “Term ~~Loan Facility”~~Loan”), which was used to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge Industrial, Inc. (“Dodge”) and to pay related fees and expenses, and (b) a ~~$500,000~~$500.0 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan, ~~Facility,~~ the “Facilities”). Debt issuance costs associated with the ~~New~~ Credit Agreement totaled ~~$14,947~~$14.9 and ~~will be~~are being amortized over the life of the ~~New~~ Credit Agreement.

~~Amounts~~Prior to December 2022, amounts outstanding under the Facilities generally ~~bear~~bore interest at either, at the Company’s option, (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime lending rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00% or (b) the LIBOR rate plus a specified margin, depending on the type of borrowing being made. The applicable margin iswas based on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined within the Credit Agreement) from time to time. ~~Currently,~~In December 2022 the Credit Agreement was amended to replace LIBOR with the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”) so that borrowings under the Facilities denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s ~~margin is 0.50% for base rate loans and 1.50% for LIBOR rate loans.~~consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA. The Facilities are subject to a ~~“LIBOR”~~SOFR floor of 0.00% ~~and contain “hard-wired” LIBOR replacement provisions as set forth in the New Credit Agreement.~~. As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company’s margin was 1.25% for SOFR loans, the commitment fee rate iswas 0.20%, and the letter of credit fee rate was ~~1.50%~~1.25%. A portion of the Term Loan is subject to a fixed-rate interest swap as discussed in Note 13, Derivative Financial Instruments.

The Term Loan ~~Facility will mature on~~matures in November 2, 2026 and amortizes in quarterly installments with the balance payable on the ~~Maturity Date.~~maturity date. The Company can elect to prepay some or all of the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty, which will offset future quarterly amortization installments. ~~The~~Due to prepayments previously made, the required future principal payments on the Term Loan ~~Facility~~ are ~~$0 for the remainder of fiscal 2023,~~ $0 for fiscal 2024, ~~and~~ $0 for fiscal 2025, ~~due to prepayments previously made, and approximately $87,500~~$0 for fiscal 2026, and ~~$942,500~~$850.0 for fiscal 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility ~~will mature on~~expires in November 2, 2026, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will be payable.

The ~~New~~ Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with various covenants, including the following financial covenants: (a) a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined within the Credit Agreement) of ~~5.50:~~5.00:1.00, which maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio shall decrease during certain subsequent test periods as set forth in the ~~New~~ Credit Agreement (provided that, no more than once during the term of the Facilities, such maximum ratio applicable at such time may be increased by the Company by 0.50:1.00 for a period of 12twelve (12) months after the consummation of a material acquisition),; and (b) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.00:1.00. As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

The ~~New~~ Credit Agreement allows the Company to, among other things, make distributions to stockholders, repurchase its stock, incur other debt or liens, or acquire or dispose of assets provided that the Company complies with certain requirements and limitations of the ~~New~~ Credit Agreement.

The Company’s domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the ~~New~~ Credit Agreement, and the Company’s obligations and the domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the ~~domestic~~ assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022, $1,030,000~~2023, $850.0 was outstanding under the Term Loan ~~Facility~~ and ~~approximately $3,675~~$3.7 of the Revolving Credit Facility was being utilized to provide letters of credit to secure the Company’s obligations relating to certain insurance programs, and the Company had the ability to borrow up to an additional ~~$496,325~~$496.3 under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

On October 7, 2021, RBCA issued ~~$500,000~~$500.0 aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were approximately ~~$491,992~~$492.0 after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses. ~~On November 1, 2021, the Company used the proceeds to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge.~~

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company to (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness, (ii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders, (iii) make investments, (iv) create liens or use assets as security in other transactions, (v) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of its assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (vii) sell or transfer certain assets. These covenants contain various exceptions, limitations and qualifications. At any time that the Senior Notes are rated investment grade, certain of these covenants will be suspended.

The Senior Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RBC Bearings and certain of RBCA’s existing and future ~~wholly owned~~wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that also guarantee the ~~New~~ Credit Agreement.

Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.375% and is payable semi–annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.

The Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2029. The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after October 15, 2024 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may also redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings completed before October 15, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 104.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a “make–whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company sells certain of its assets or experiences specific kinds of changes in control, the Company must offer to purchase the Senior Notes.

Foreign ~~Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility~~Borrowing Arrangements

~~On August 15, 2019, one~~One of our foreign subsidiaries, Schaublin SA (“Schaublin”), entered into ~~two separate~~a credit ~~agreements (the “Foreign Credit Agreements”)~~agreement in 2019 with Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. to ~~(i) finance the acquisition of Swiss Tool, and (ii)~~ provide ~~future working capital. The Foreign Credit Agreements provided~~ Schaublin with a CHF ~~15,000~~15.0 (approximately ~~$15,383) term loan (the “Foreign Term Loan”), which was extinguished in February 2022 and a CHF 15,000 (approximately $15,383)~~$15.4 USD) revolving credit facility, ~~(the “Foreign Revolver”),~~ which was terminated asin October 2022. Schaublin now has a CHF 5.0 (approximately $5.4 USD) revolving credit facility with Credit Suisse to provide future working capital, if necessary. As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022.~~2023, $0.1 of the new facility was being utilized to provide a bank guarantee. Fees associated with the new facility are nominal.

~~A summary of the Company’s debt is presented in the table below:~~The balances payable under all our borrowing facilities are as follows:

11. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in numerous U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, with returns subject to examination for varying periods, but generally back to and including the year ending March ~~30, 2019,~~28, 2020, although certain tax credits generated in earlier years are open under statute from March 29, 2008. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years ending before March ~~30, 2019.~~28, 2020.

The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended ~~October~~July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, were 21.9% and ~~October 2, 2021, were 18.1% and 223.5%~~21.8%, respectively. In addition to discrete items, the effective income tax rates for both these periods ~~are~~were different from the U.S. statutory rates due to the foreign-derived intangible income provision and U.S. credit for increasing research activities, which ~~decrease~~decreased the rate, and state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and nondeductible stock-based compensation, ~~that increase~~which increased the rate.

The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022~~2023 of ~~18.1% includes $2,372~~21.9% included $0.4 of discrete tax benefits associated with ~~share-based~~stock-based compensation and ~~$174~~$0.1 of discrete tax benefits associated with other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022~~2023 would have been ~~22.9%~~22.6%. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended ~~October~~July 2, ~~2021~~2022 of ~~223.5%~~21.8% includes ~~$91~~$0.6 of discrete tax ~~benefits~~benefit associated with ~~share-based~~stock-based compensation, ~~offset by~~along with $0.1 of discrete tax benefit for the ~~establishment~~release of unrecognized tax positions associated with a ~~$1,853 valuation allowance for capital loss carryforwards we do not expect to recognize and $100~~statute of ~~other items.~~limitations expiration. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended ~~October~~July 2, ~~2021~~2022 would have been ~~53.5%~~23.1%. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that some of its unrecognized tax positions may be effectively settled within the next 12 months due to the closing of audits and the statute of limitations expiring in ~~varying~~various jurisdictions. The decrease in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions, pertaining primarily to federal and state credits and state tax, is estimated to be approximately ~~$3,068.~~

Income tax expense for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 was $20,165 compared to $7,868 for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021. Our effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 was 19.9% compared to 25.8% for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021. The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 of 19.9% includes $2,971 of tax benefits associated with share-based compensation partially offset by $187 of other items. The effective income tax rate without these benefits and other items for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 would have been 23.0%. The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021 of 25.8% includes $2,231 of tax benefits associated with share-based compensation offset by the establishment of a $1,853 valuation allowance for capital loss carryforwards we don’t expect to recognize and $60 of other items. The effective income tax rate without these benefits and other items for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021 would have been 27.2%.$2.1.

~~13. Dodge Acquisition~~

On November 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Dodge for approximately $2,908,241, net of cash acquired and subject to certain adjustments. The purchase price was paid with (i) $1,285,761 of borrowing under the Term Loan Facility, net of issuance costs, (ii) $1,050,811 of net proceeds from common stock and MCPS offerings, (iii) $494,200 of net proceeds from the Senior Notes offering, and (iv) approximately $77,469 of cash on hand. Since the close of the transaction, purchase price adjustments totaling $22,966 have been recorded.

In the acquisition, the Company purchased 100% of the capital stock of certain entities, including Dodge Mechanical Power Transmission Company Inc. (now known as Dodge Industrial, Inc.), and certain other assets relating to ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd.’s mechanical power transmission business.

With offices in Greenville, South Carolina, Dodge is a leading manufacturer of mounted bearings, gearings and mechanical products with market-leading brand recognition. Dodge manufactures a complete line of mounted bearings, enclosed gearing and power transmission components across a diverse set of industrial end markets. Dodge primarily operates across the construction and mining aftermarket, and the food & beverage, warehousing and general machinery verticals, with sales predominately in the Americas.

~~Acquisition costs incurred for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022 totaled $22,598 and were recorded as period expenses and included within other, net within~~13. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated ~~statements of operations. Remaining acquisition-related costs incurred for~~balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 were immaterial. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. The purchase price allocation will be completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as we finalize the impact from taxes and other minor items. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based on their fair values ~~at the date of acquisition as follows:~~

2021
Cash and cash equivalents $ 81,868
Accounts receivable 83,533
Inventory 136,376

~~The goodwill associated with this acquisition is the result of expected synergies from combining the operations~~ of the ~~acquired business with~~derivative are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are subsequently included in earnings in the ~~Company's operations, and intangible assets that do~~periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not ~~qualify~~use derivative instruments for ~~separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. $44,941 of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax~~speculative purposes.

The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets of $1,385,082, consisting primarily of customer relationships and trade names, was determined using the income approach. Specifically, a multi-period, excess earnings method was utilized for the customer relationships and the relief-from-royalty method was utilized for the trade name. The fair value of the customer relationships, $1,185,000, is being amortized based on the economic pattern of benefit over a period of 24 years; the fair value of the trade names, $200,000, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 26-year term. These amortization periods represent the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The results of operations for Dodge have been included in the Company’s financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on November 1, 2021. Dodge contributed $192,267 of revenue and $38,152 of operating income for the three months ended October 1, 2022. Dodge contributed $369,740 of revenue and $68,646 of operating income for the six months ended October 1, 2022.

Upon closing, the Company entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") with ABB, pursuant to which ABB agreed to support the information technology, human resources and benefits, finance, tax and treasury functions of the Dodge business for six to 12 months. Substantially all services terminated on November 1, 2022. Costs associated with the TSA were $3,999 and $7,704 for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, and are included in other, net on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Since the purchase of the Dodge business on November 1, 2021, costs associated with the TSA were $15,707 through October 1, 2022.

~~14. Subsequent Events~~

On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into a three-year USD-denominated interest rate swap ~~(“the Swap”~~(the “Swap”) ~~from~~with a third-party financial counterparty under the ~~New~~ Credit Agreement (see Note 10). The Swap was executed to protect the Company from interest rate volatility on our variable-rate Term ~~Loan Facility.~~Loan. The Swap ~~has an~~became effective ~~date of~~ December 30, 2022 and is comprised of a ~~$600,000~~$600.0 notional with a maturity of three years. ~~RBC will~~We receive a variable rate based on one-month ~~USD-SOFR CME~~ Term SOFR and ~~will~~ pay a fixed rate of 4.455%. As of July 1, 2023, approximately 81.4% of our debt bears interest at a fixed rate. The notional on the Swap ~~will amortize~~amortizes as follows:

Year 1: ~~$600,000~~$600.0

Year 2: ~~$400,000~~$400.0

Year 3: ~~$100,000~~$100.0

The Swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the first unhedged interest payments (the hedged transactions) paid over the hedging relationship’s specified time period of three years attributable to the borrowing’s contractually specified interest index on the hedged principal of its general borrowing program or replacement or refinancing thereof. The fair value of the Swap has been disclosed in Note 6. The accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) derivative component balance was a $2.6 gain at July 1, 2023 and a $2.2 loss at April 1, 2023, net of taxes. The gain/loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) into earnings will be recorded as interest income/expense on the Swap and will be included in the operating section of the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

Overview

We are a well-known international manufacturer and maker of highly engineered bearings and precision components. Our precision solutions are integral to the manufacture and operation of most machines and mechanical systems, reduce wear to moving parts, facilitate proper power transmission, and reduce damage and energy loss caused by friction. While we manufacture products in all major bearings categories, we focus primarily on the higher end of the bearing and engineered component markets where we believe our value-added manufacturing and engineering capabilities enable us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and enhance profitability. We believe our expertise has enabled us to garner leading positions in many of the product markets in which we primarily compete. With 5652 facilities in 10 countries, of which 37 are manufacturing facilities, we have been able to significantly broaden our end markets, products, customer base and geographic reach.

Previously we operated under four reportable business segments – Plain Bearings, Roller Bearings, Ball Bearings, and Engineered Products – but the Dodge acquisition has resulted in a change in the internal organization of the Company and how ourOur chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates resources ~~so that we now operate~~ under two reportable business segments – Aerospace/Defense and Industrial:

●

Industrial. This segment represents the end markets for the Company’s highly engineered bearings, gearings and precision components used in various industrial applications including: power transmission; construction, mining, energy and specialized equipment manufacturing; semiconductor production equipment manufacturing; agricultural machinery, commercial truck and automotive manufacturing; and tool holding.

~~Financial information for fiscal 2022 has been recast to conform to the new segment presentation.~~

The markets for our products are cyclical, and we have endeavored to mitigate this cyclicality by entering into single and sole-source relationships and long-term purchase agreements, through diversification across multiple market segments within the Aerospace/Defense and Industrial segments, by increasing sales to the aftermarket, and by focusing on developing highly customized solutions.

Currently, our strategy is built around maintaining our role as a leading manufacturer of highly engineered bearings and precision components through the following efforts:

●

Developing innovative solutions. By leveraging our design and manufacturing expertise and our extensive customer relationships, we continue to develop new products for markets in which there are substantial growth opportunities.

●

Expanding customer base and penetrating end markets. We continually seek opportunities to access new customers, geographic locations and bearing platforms with existing products or profitable new product opportunities.

●

Increasing aftermarket sales. We believe that increasing our aftermarket sales of replacement parts will further enhance the continuity and predictability of our revenues and enhance our profitability. Such sales include sales to third party distributors and sales to OEMs for replacement products and aftermarket services. The acquisition of Dodge has had a profound impact on our sales volumes to distributors and other aftermarket customers. We will further increase the percentage of our revenues derived from the replacement market by continuing to implement several initiatives.

●

Pursuing selective acquisitions. The acquisition of businesses that complement or expand our operations has been and continues to be an important element of our business strategy. We believe that there will continue to be consolidation within the industry that may present us with acquisition opportunities.

Our net sales for the three-month period ended ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022~~2023 increased ~~129.4%~~9.3% compared to the same period last fiscal ~~year; excluding Dodge sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, net sales were up 9.9% period over period.~~year. The increase in net sales was a result of a ~~290.7%~~4.7% increase in our Industrial segment and ~~11.4%~~21.2% increase in our Aerospace/Defense segment. ~~Excluding sales from Dodge, our Industrial segment increased 7.9% year over year.~~ Our backlog, as of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022,~~2023, was ~~$653.2 million~~$641.1 compared to ~~$603.1 million~~$663.8 as of April ~~2, 2022.~~1, 2023. These figures only include orders from our Sargent marine and Sargent aerospace businesses, which are primarily defense orders, that will be fulfilled within 12 months of the balance sheet dates. Including all orders from our Sargent marine and Sargent aerospace businesses, our backlog as of July 1, 2023 was $765.2 compared to $759.4 as of April 1, 2023.

We are continuing to see the recovery of the commercial aerospace business, which ~~increased by 31.3%~~experienced a 28.3% increase in net sales for the three-month period ended ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022~~2023 versus the same period last fiscal year. We anticipate this ~~recovery~~growth to continue ~~throughout~~through the rest of the current fiscal year and beyond. Orders have continued to grow as evidenced by our backlog. Defense sales, which represented approximately ~~32.3%~~31.2% of segment sales during the quarter, were ~~down 15.3%~~up 7.9% year over year. ~~This is~~We expect this growth to continue throughout the current fiscal year and beyond as we are gearing up to fulfill the substantial number of marine orders in ~~part due to the timing of delivery on parts that require government approval and/or completion of certain milestone achievements prior to invoicing.~~our backlog.

The increase in our ~~industrial~~Industrial sales ~~reflects~~reflected a pattern of sustained growth over the last fiscal year, with strong results in several areas. Our ~~oil and gas~~core industrial business during the quarter continued a pattern of growth which is expected to continue into future periods. ~~Other notable strengths in industrial were in semiconductor and general industrial markets.~~

The Company expects net sales to be approximately ~~$348.0 million~~$380.0 to ~~$360.0 million~~$390.0 in ~~the third quarter of fiscal 2023.~~

~~We experienced strong cash flow generation during~~ the second quarter of fiscal ~~2023 (as discussed in the section “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below). We expect this trend to continue throughout the fiscal year as customer demand continues to be significant.~~ 2024.

We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility will provide adequate resources to fund internal growth initiatives for the foreseeable future, including at least the next 12 months. As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022,~~2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$88.5 million,~~$56.7, of which approximately ~~$25.2 million~~$32.4 was cash held by our foreign operations.

Our effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 was 19.9% compared to 25.8% for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021. The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 of 19.9% includes $3.0 million of tax benefits associated with share-based compensation partially offset by $0.2 million of discrete tax expense primarily associated with establishing a valuation allowance on a loss carryforward; the effective income tax rate without these benefits and other items would have been 23.0%22.6%.

Segment Information

~~Segment Information~~

We previously reported our financial results under four operating segments (Plain Bearings; Roller Bearings; Ball Bearings; and Engineered Products), but the Dodge acquisition has resulted in a change in the internal organization of the Company and how our chief operating decision makerOur CODM makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates ~~resources. Accordingly, we will now report our financial results~~resources under two operating segments: Aerospace/Defense; and Industrial. ~~Financial information for fiscal 2022 has been recast to conform to the new~~We use segment ~~presentation. We use~~net sales and gross margin as the primary ~~measurement~~measurements to assess the financial performance of each reportable segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~(dollars in millions in tables)~~

~~Our business is capital-intensive.~~ Our capital requirements include manufacturing equipment and materials. In addition, we have historically fueled our growth, in part, through acquisitions, including the Dodge acquisition completed ~~on November 1, 2021.~~in fiscal 2022. We have historically met our working capital, capital expenditure and acquisition funding needs through our net cash flows provided by operations, various debt arrangements and ~~sale~~sales of equity to investors. We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility (which expires in November 2026) will provide adequate resources to fund internal growth initiatives for the foreseeable future. ~~For further discussion regarding the funding of the Dodge acquisition, refer to Part I, Item 1 – Note 13.~~

Our ability to meet future working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements will depend on our future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors, particularly interest rates, cyclical changes in our end markets and prices for steel and our ability to pass through price increases on a timely basis, many of which are outside of our control. In addition, future acquisitions could have a significant impact on our liquidity position and our need for additional funds.

From time to time, we evaluate our existing facilities and operations and their strategic importance to us. If we determine that a given facility or operation does not have future strategic importance, we may sell, relocate, consolidate or otherwise dispose of ~~those~~that facility or operations. Although we believe our operations would not be materially impaired by such dispositions, relocations or consolidations, we could incur significant cash or non-cash charges in connection with them.

Liquidity

As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022,~~2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$88.5 million~~$56.7, of which approximately ~~$25.2 million~~$32.4 was cash held by our foreign operations. We expect that our undistributed foreign earnings will be re-invested indefinitely for working capital, internal growth, and acquisitions for and by our foreign subsidiaries.

Domestic Credit Facility

OnThe Credit Agreement, which was entered into on November 1, 2021 ~~RBC Bearings Incorporated, our top holding company, and our Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. subsidiary (“RBCA”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”)~~ with Wells Fargo ~~Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer~~ and the other lenders party thereto, ~~and terminated the Company’s prior Credit Agreement, which was entered into with Wells Fargo in 2015 (the “2015 Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement~~ provides the Company with (a) athe $1,300.0 ~~million term loan facility (the “Term~~Term Loan, ~~Facility”),~~ which was used to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge and to pay related fees and expenses, and (b) athe $500.0 ~~million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving~~Revolving Credit ~~Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Facilities”).~~Facility. Debt issuance costs associated with the ~~New~~ Credit Agreement totaled $14.9 ~~million~~ and ~~will be~~are being amortized over the life of the ~~New~~ Credit Agreement.

~~Amounts~~Prior to December 2022, amounts outstanding under the Facilities (i.e., the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility) generally ~~bear~~bore interest at either, at the Company’s option, (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime lending rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00% or (b) the LIBOR rate plus a specified margin, depending on the type of borrowing being made. The applicable margin iswas based on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined within the Credit Agreement) from time to time. ~~Currently,~~In December 2022 the Credit Agreement was amended to replace LIBOR with SOFR (i.e., the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) so that borrowings under the Facilities denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s ~~margin is 0.50% for base rate loans and 1.50% for LIBOR rate loans.~~consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA. The Facilities are subject to a ~~“LIBOR”~~SOFR floor of 0.00% ~~and contain “hard-wired” LIBOR replacement provisions as set forth in the New Credit Agreement.~~. As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company’s margin was 1.25% for SOFR loans, the commitment fee rate iswas 0.20%, and the letter of credit fee rate was ~~1.50%~~1.25%. A portion of the Term Loan is subject to a fixed-rate interest swap as discussed under “Interest Rate Swap” below.

The Term Loan ~~Facility will mature on~~matures in November 2, 2026 and amortizes in quarterly installments with the balance payable on the ~~Maturity Date.~~maturity date.

To hedge against this risk, on October 1,28, 2022, ~~Compared~~the Company entered into the Swap with a third-party financial counterparty under the Credit Agreement. The Swap was executed to protect the Company from interest rate volatility on our variable-rate Term Loan. The Swap became effective on December 30, 2022 and is comprised of a $600.0 notional with a maturity of three years. RBC receives a variable rate based on one-month Term SOFR and pays a fixed rate of 4.455%. The notional on the Swap amortizes as follows:

We expect to fund these capital expenditures principally through existing cash and internally generated funds. We may also make substantial additional capital expenditures in connection with acquisitions.

Obligations and Commitments

The Company’s fixed contractual obligations and commitments are primarily comprised of our debt obligations disclosed in Part I, Item 1- Note 10 of this report. We also have lease obligations which are materially consistent with what we disclosed in our ~~Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022.~~Annual Report.

Other Matters

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our ~~fiscal 2022~~ Annual Report ~~on Form 10-K/A~~ describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There ~~have been~~were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal ~~2023.~~2024.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

~~As of October 1, 2022, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than~~The Company has $3.7 ~~million~~ of outstanding standby letters of credit, all of which ~~were~~are under the Revolving Credit Facility. We also have a contractual obligation for licenses related to the implementation and upgrade of an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system for Dodge. These license costs of $10.5 are being incurred over the five-year period from the execution of the license agreement in May 2022.

Other than the items noted above, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements as of July 1, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks ~~which~~that arise during the normal course of business from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rates. We currently have variable rate debt outstanding under the Term ~~Loan Facility.~~Loan. We regularly evaluate the impact of interest rate changes on our net income and cash flow and take action to limit our exposure when appropriate. As discussed in Note 1413 in Part I, Item I of this report, we ~~entered into~~have utilized an interest rate swap ~~on October 28, 2022.~~to fix a portion of the variable rate interest expense associated with the Term Loan.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. Our operations in the following countries utilize the following currencies as their functional currency:

●	● Australia – Australian dollar	●	● India – rupee
●	● Canada – Canadian dollar	●	● Mexico – peso
●	● China – Chinese yuan	●	● Poland – zloty
●	● France and Germany – euro	●	● Switzerland – Swiss franc
~~● Germany – euro~~

As a result, we are exposed to risk associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and these currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in earnings. Approximately 12% of our net sales were impacted by foreign currency fluctuations for both the ~~three-~~three-month period ended July 1, 2023 and ~~six-month periods~~the three-month period ended ~~October 1, 2022, compared~~July 2, 2022. For those countries outside the U.S. where we have sales, a strengthening in the U.S. dollar as we have seen over the past few years or devaluation in the local currency would reduce the value of our local inventory as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, a stronger U.S. dollar or a weaker local currency would result in reduced net sales, operating profit and shareholders’ equity due to ~~9% for both~~ the ~~three- and six-month periods ended October 2, 2021. Foreign currency transaction exposure arises primarily from the transfer~~impact of foreign ~~currency from one subsidiary to another within the group, and to~~exchange translation on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Fluctuations in foreign currency ~~denominated trade receivables. Unrealized currency translation gains~~exchange rates may make our products more expensive for others to purchase or increase our operating costs, affecting our competitiveness and ~~losses are recognized upon translation of the foreign operations’ balance sheets to U.S. dollars. Because~~ our ~~financial statements are denominated~~profitability.

Changes in ~~U.S. dollars, changes in currency~~ exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies and volatile economic, political and market conditions in emerging market countries have ~~had,~~in the past adversely affected our financial performance and ~~will continue to have, an impact on~~may in the future adversely affect the value of our ~~earnings.~~ assets located outside the United States, our gross profit and our results of operations.

We periodically enter into derivative financial instruments in the form of forward exchange contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates on certain third-party sales transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. Based on the accounting guidance related to derivatives and hedging activities, we record derivative financial instruments at fair value. For derivative financial instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on these hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of ~~October~~July 1, ~~2022, we~~2023, the Company had no ~~derivatives. As discussed in Note 14 in Part I, Item I of this report, we entered into an interest rate swap on October 28, 2022.~~forward exchange contracts.

This~~2023. Based on this evaluation, ~~excluded the Dodge business acquired on November~~our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of July 1, ~~2021 as we are currently in the process of integrating the internal~~2023, our disclosure controls and procedures ~~of Dodge into~~were (1) designed to ensure that information relating to our ~~internal controls over financial reporting.

~~Remediation of Material Weakness~~

To address the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in Part I, Item 4 of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 2, 2022, the Company enhanced and revised the design of existing controls and procedures to properly review employment agreements involving equity awards to ensure they are accounted forexternal purposes in accordance with ~~the latest~~generally accepted accounting ~~pronouncements. The Company’s internal audit department will test the operating effectiveness of management’s controls during the fiscal year.~~principles.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

~~Except for the changes related to the Company's remediation efforts described above, there has been no~~No change in ~~the Company’s~~our internal control over financial reporting ~~that~~ occurred during the ~~second quarter of fiscal~~three-month period ended July 1, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the ~~Securities~~ Exchange ~~Act of 1934)~~Act).

As discussed in Note 13 included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, we acquired Dodge on November 1, 2021. We are currently in the process of integrating the internal controls and procedures of Dodge into our internal controls over financial reporting. As provided under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, we will include the internal controls and procedures of Dodge in our annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our 2023 fiscal year.
