TWIN DISC, INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

(UNAUDITED)

 

A.

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Twin Disc, Incorporated (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments, consisting onlyprimarily of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair statement of results for each period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that theseThese financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K10-K for June 30, 2017. 2023. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The Company's reporting period ends on the last Friday of the quarterly calendar period.  The Company's fiscal year ends on June 30, regardless of the day of the week on which June 30 falls.

NewChange in Accounting ReleasesMethod

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company changed its accounting method related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit plans (the “Accounting change”). Prior to the Accounting change, actuarial gains and losses were recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon annual remeasurement and were amortized into earnings in future periods when they exceeded the accounting corridor, a defined range within which amortization of net gains and losses is not required. Under the Accounting change, the accounting corridor of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and plan assets was modified to add full, immediate recognition above a second20% threshold. Although the decision to make the Accounting change occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the actual accounting method change was applied to all calculations for fiscal year end 2023, and retroactively applied to all other amounts presented in this Form 10-Q.

Under the new accounting method, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in net periodic benefit cost through a modified mark-to-market (expense) benefit upon annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events warrant remeasurement. The method for recognizing prior service credits (charges) as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into earnings in future periods did not change. With respect to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, while the historical principle was acceptable, the Company believes the Accounting change is preferable as it better aligns with fair value principles by recognizing the effects of economic and interest rate changes in plan assets and liabilities in the year in which the gains and losses are incurred to the degree such accumulated gains and losses exceed the new 20% threshold in addition to amortizing the amounts between the 10% and 20% thresholds over time. The Accounting change has been applied retrospectively to prior years and amounts presented.

See Notes G, K, M and P for further information regarding the impact of the Accounting change on the Company’s current and prior consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In March 2017, December 2023, the FinancialFASB issued guidance ASU 2023-09,Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which includes requirements that an entity disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that are greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income rate. The standard also requires that entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) each disaggregated between domestic and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statement disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)

In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance (ASU 2017-07) intended2016-13) and also issued subsequent amendments to improve the presentationinitial guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, and ASU 2019-10 (collectively ASC 326). ASC 326 requires the measurement and recognition of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirementexpected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost.

The amendments in this guidance are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods,filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, (the Company’s2019, and for smaller reporting companies for fiscal 2019)years beginning after December 15, 2022 (the Company’s fiscal 2024), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In October 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance (ASU 2016-16) that changes the recognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The amendments in this guidance are effectivepermitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (the Company’s fiscal 2019), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance (ASU 2016-15) that addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (the Company’s fiscal 2019), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance (ASU 2016-09) intendedcertain amendments. ASC 326 must be adopted by applying a cumulative effect adjustment to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. As a result of the adoption, excess tax benefits or deficiencies associated with stock-based compensation award activity are recognized in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, excess tax benefits associated with award activity is reported as cash flows from operating activities along with all other income tax cash flows. The Company has elected to apply this classification change on a prospective basis.retained earnings. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company'sCompany’s financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance (ASU 2016-02) which replaces the existing guidance for leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (the Company’s fiscal 2020), including interim periods within those fiscal years and requires retrospective application.


In preparation for the adoption of this guidance, theSpecial Note Regarding Smaller Reporting Company gathered all active lease contracts from all its locations to assess whether or not they meet the definition of a lease under the new guidance, specifically, whether there is an identified asset in the contract, and whether or not control thereof lies with the Company. The Company assessed the practical expedients that are allowed under the guidance, including the exclusion of lease contracts with terms of twelve months or less. It assessed each contract for the appropriate lease payment components, discount rate, lease terms (dependent on renewal options) and compiled a preliminary calculation of the right-of-use assets and operating lease liability amounts that would be recognized on the Company’s balance sheet upon adoption of the guidance.Status

 

Under SEC Release 33-10513;34-83550, Amendments to Smaller Reporting Company Definition, the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and accordingly, it has scaled some of its disclosures of financial and non-financial information in this quarterly report. The Company is continuing its assessment, including the potential operational process changes aswill continue to determine whether to provide additional scaled disclosures of financial or non-financial information in future quarterly reports, annual reports and/or proxy statements if it remains a result of the new guidance. It plans to early-adopt the guidance, using the modified retrospective approach, to coincide with its adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, which is the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance (ASU 2015-11) intended to simplify the measurement of inventory and to closely align with International Financial Reporting Standards. Current guidance requires inventories to be measured at the lower of cost or market. Under this new guidance, inventories other than those measuredsmaller reporting company under last in first out (“LIFO”) are to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted this guidance, prospectively, in the first fiscal quarter of 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.SEC rules.

In May 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance (ASU 2014-09) on revenue from contracts with customers. This revenue recognition guidance supersedes existing guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control over promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance identifies steps to apply in achieving this principle. This updated guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019).

In preparation for the adoption of this guidance, the Company gathered customer contracts and customer purchase orders of its various locations to assess whether there are separate and distinct performance obligations, as defined by ASU 2014-09, within these agreements. The assessment has included interviews with various functions, including sales, engineering, customer service, and finance, to further analyze those performance obligations, both explicit and implicit (particularly as they relate to services). Under this ASU, revenue is recognized when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. Based upon the preliminary findings, the Company has identified indicators that suggest a deferral of revenue may be required for certain agreements where the performance of services after product delivery may be required. In certain agreements where the products are built to customer specifications, revenue may need to be accelerated. The Company is continuing its assessment, including whether or not these obligations are perfunctory or material to the financial statements. It plans to adopt the guidance, using the modified retrospective approach, on the effective date applicable to the Company, which is the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Company also evaluated its other boat management system inventory, not associated with the sale. This evaluation resulted in the Company recognizing an additional inventory write-down of $1.6 million for inventory located in the U.S. These write-downs were partially offset by certain liabilities transferred to the buyer at the time of sale.

Warranty

 

The Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its suppliers. However, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, the number of units affected by the failure and the expense involved in satisfactorily addressing the situation. The warranty reserve is established based on our best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. When evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for warranty costs, management takes into consideration the term of the warranty coverage, historical claim rates and costs of repair, knowledge of the type and volume of new products and economic trends. While we believe the warranty reserve is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, such amounts estimated to be due and payable in the future could differ materially from what actually transpires. The following is a listing of the activity in the warranty reserve for the quarter and two quarters ended DecemberMarch 29, 2017 2024 and December 30, 2016:March 31, 2023:

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law in the United States. The Tax Act, among other provisions, introduces changes in the U.S. corporate tax rate, business related exclusions and deductions and credits, and has tax consequences for companies that operate internationally. Most of the changes introduced in the Tax Act are effective beginning on January 1, 2018; however, as the Company has a fiscal year end of June 30, the effective dates for the Company are various and different.

For the two quarters ended December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 204.0% and 28.8%, respectively. During the current fiscal quarter, in compliance with the new Tax Act, the Company recorded a tax expense of $4,565, primarily due to a remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities; this increased the effective tax rate by 735.1%. The Company has determined that the impact of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate change on the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities is provisional because the number cannot be calculated until the actual timing differences are known at year end rather than estimated this quarter. The first quarter release of a valuation allowance in a certain foreign jurisdiction of $3,803 reduced the effective tax rate by 612.4%. The mix of earnings by jurisdiction and continued operational improvement coupled with increased tax preference items resulted in a minimal impact to the overall effective tax rate.

Within the calculation of the Company’s annual effective tax rate the Company has used assumptions and estimates that may change as a result of future guidance, interpretation, and rule-making from the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC, and the FASB and/or various other taxing jurisdictions.  For example, the Company anticipates that the state jurisdictions will continue to determine and announce their conformity to the Tax Act which could have an impact on the annual effective tax rate.

The following table sets forth the tax expense and the effective tax rate for the Company’s earnings before income taxes:

The permanent reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% is effective January 1, 2018 (the “Effective Date”).  When a U.S. federal tax rate change occurs during a fiscal year, taxpayers are required to compute a weighted daily average rate for the fiscal year of enactment.  As a result of the Tax Act, the Company has calculated a U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 27.6% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 and applied this rate in computing the first half of fiscal year 2018 income tax provision. The U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 27.6% is the weighted daily average rate between the pre-enactment U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 34% applicable to the Company’s 2018 fiscal year prior to the Effective Date and the post-enactment U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% applicable to the 2018 fiscal year thereafter. The Company expects the U.S. federal statutory rate to be 21% for fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2018.

 

The Company completed a provisional calculation to determine the impact of a one-time repatriation tax on deferred foreign income (“Transition Tax”), as required by the Tax Act. The Company determined that the calculation is provisional because various components of the computation are unknown as of December 29, 2017, including the following significant items: exchange rates for fiscal year 2018, the actual aggregate foreign cash position and the earnings and profits of the foreign entities as of the two measurement dates. This provisional calculation resulted in a zero tax liability, therefore no tax accrual was necessary. The Company has not provided for additional U.S. income taxes on cumulative earnings of consolidated foreign subsidiaries. With the enactment of the Transition Tax, any future dividends repatriated would benefit from the 100% Dividends Received Deduction. The company reaffirms its position that the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries remain permanently reinvested. An analysis was also completed to verify the future utilization of tax attributes and it was determined that full utilization would be realized and no valuation allowance was required.

The Company continues to review the anticipated impacts of the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), a deduction for foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII") and base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) on the Company, which are not effective until fiscal 2019. The Company has not recorded any impact associated with GILTI, FDII or BEAT in the tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2018. A provisional analysis of the new BEAT rules has been completed and it is not anticipated that the Company will meet the minimum thresholds, nor is it anticipated that it will for the foreseeable future and is therefore not subject to this tax. Initial provisional estimates of the impact of GILTI and FDII have also been completed and minimal impact is anticipated. These estimates may be impacted by actual future data, additional guidance or other unforeseen circumstances.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”). SAB 118 expresses views of the SEC regarding ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) in the reporting period that includes the enactment date of the Tax Act. The SEC staff issuing SAB 118 (the “Staff”) recognized that a registrant’s review of certain income tax effects of the Tax Act may be incomplete at the time financial statements are issued for the reporting period that includes the enactment date, including interim periods therein. The Staff’s view of the enactment of the Tax Act has been developed considering the principles of ASC Topic 805,Business Combinations, which addresses the accounting for certain items in a business combination for which the accounting is incomplete upon issuance of the financial statements that include the reporting period in which the business combination occurs. Specifically, the Staff provides that the accounting guidance in ASC Topic 805 may be analogized to the accounting for impacts of the Tax Act. If a company does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act, SAB 118 allows a company to report provisional numbers and adjust those amounts during the measurement period not to extend beyond one year. For the two quarters ended December 29, 2017, the Company has recorded all known and estimable impacts of the Tax Act that are effective for fiscal year 2018. Future adjustments to the provisional numbers will be recorded as discrete adjustments to income tax expense in the period in which those adjustments become estimable and/or are finalized.

Accordingly, the Company’s income tax provision as of December 29, 2017 reflects (i) the current year impacts of the Tax Act on the estimated annual effective tax rate and (ii) the following discrete items resulting directly from the enactment of the Tax Act based on the information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail.

The Company maintains valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is required, the Company takes into account such factors as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset. Due to operational changes, the Company has evaluated the realizability of the net deferred tax assets related to a certain foreign jurisdiction. Based on this evaluation, along with expected future earnings, management has concluded that the valuation allowance is no longer appropriate and it was released during the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Accounting policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjustcomputes its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Under this effective tax rate methodology,requirements of ASC 740-270-25. However, due to historic domestic losses and the full domestic valuation allowance, the Company applies an estimated annual incomehas removed the loss jurisdiction for which no tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter.benefit may be recorded from the Annual Effective Tax Rate ("AETR") calculations consistent with ASC 740-270-30-30.

 

The Company has approximately $856 of unrecognized tax benefits, including related interest and penalties, as of December 29, 2017 which, if recognized, would favorably impact therecorded an overall effective tax rate. There was no significant changerate of 9.3% and 14.0% for the quarters ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively and an overall effective tax rate of 41.0% and 38.2% for the three quarters ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023. Year-to-date foreign earnings were $14,916 and $8,207, with corresponding income tax expense of $2,599 and $2,303 for the period ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023. The foreign effective tax rate for the period ended March 29, 2024 incudes a total discrete benefit of ($834), of which ($786) related to a favorable tax ruling related to operations in the total unrecognized tax benefits due to the settlement of audits, the expiration of statutes of limitations or for other items during the quarter ended December 29, 2017.

Goodwill and Other IntangiblesIntangible Assets

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on a reporting unit basis annually as of the end of the fiscal year, and whenever events or circumstances (“triggering events”) indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company monitors for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis. Such triggering events include unfavorable operating results and macroeconomic trends.

The fair value of reporting units is primarily driven by projected growth rates and operating results under the income approach using a discounted cash flow model, which applies an appropriate market-participant discount rate, and consideration of other market approach data from guideline public companies. If declining actual operating results or future operating results become indicative that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units has declined below their carrying values, an interim goodwill impairment test may need to be performed and may result in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge.

 

As of DecemberMarch 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017, goodwill pertains solely to the European Industrial reporting unit.

For the quarter ended December 29, 2017, the Company performed a review of potential triggering events, and concluded there were no triggering events that indicated that the fair value of its European Industrial reporting unit had not more likely than not declined to below its carrying value at December 29, 2017. The Company will perform its annual impairment test for this reporting unit as of June 30, 2018.

The revolving loan agreement pertains to the revolving loan facility which Credit Agreement Debt: On June 29, 2018, the Company entered into on April 22, 2016a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO”) that provided for the assignment and assumption of the previously existing loans between the Company and Bank of Montreal (the “BMO“2016 Credit Agreement”) and subsequent amendments into a term loan (the “Term Loan”) and revolving credit loans (each a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans,” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, BMO agreed to make the Term Loan to the Company in a principal amount not to exceed $35.0 million and the Company may, from time to time prior to the maturity date, enter into Revolving Loans in amounts not to exceed, in the aggregate, $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”), subject to a Borrowing Base based on Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables. Subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement reduced the Term Loan to $20.0 million, extended the maturity date of the Term Loan to April 1, 2027, and require the Company to make principal installment payments on the Term Loan of $0.5 million per quarter. In addition, under subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement, BMO’s Revolving Credit Commitment is currently $45.0 million. The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to obtain Letters of Credit from BMO, which if drawn upon by the beneficiary thereof and paid by BMO, would become Revolving Loans. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may not pay cash dividends on its common stock in excess of $5.0 million in any fiscal year. The term of the Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement currently runs through April 1, 2027.

Under the Credit Agreement as amended, interest rates are based on either the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”). Loans are designated either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin, or “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin. Amounts drawn on a Letter of Credit that are not timely reimbursed to the Bank bear interest at a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Company also pays a commitment fee on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment equal to an Applicable Margin. Currently, the Applicable Margins are between 2.00% and 3.50% for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit; 2.125% and 3.625% for Term Loans; and 0.15% and 0.30% for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio).

The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants. Specifically, the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio may not exceed 3.50 to 1.00, and the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. In determining whether the Company is in compliance with its Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio, the Company’s EBITDA will include transaction expenses of up to $0.6 million for the Katsa Oy acquisition, as well as pro-forma EBITDA of Katsa Oy as permitted by the Bank. The Company’s Tangible Net Worth may not be less than $100.0 million plus 50% of positive Net Income for each fiscal year ending on or after June 30, 2023.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, and certain machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. The Company has also pledged 100% of its primary manufacturing facilityequity interests in Racine, Wisconsin,certain domestic subsidiaries and 65% of its equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company also entered into a Collateral Assignment of Rights under Purchase Agreement for its acquisition of Veth Propulsion. To effect these security interests, the Company entered into various amendment and assignment agreements that consent to the assignment of certain agreements previously entered into between the Company and the personal propertyBank of Mill-Log Equipment Co., Inc.,Montreal in connection with the 2016 Credit Agreement. The Company also amended and assigned to BMO a Negative Pledge Agreement that it has previously entered into with Bank of Montreal, pursuant to which it agreed not to sell, lease or otherwise encumber real estate that it owns except as permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Negative Pledge Agreement.

The Company has also entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with the Bank, reflecting the Bank’s security interest in deposit accounts the Company maintains with the Bank. The Bank may not provide a notice of exclusive control of a deposit account (thereby obtaining exclusive control of the account) prior to the occurrence or existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or otherwise upon the occurrence or existence of an event or condition that would, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, BMO may take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate its remaining obligations under the Credit Agreement; (2) declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; and (3) demand the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate L/C Obligations or a greater amount if BMO determines a greater amount is necessary. If such Event of Default is due to the Company’s bankruptcy, BMO may take the three actions listed above without notice to the Company.

On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No.10 to Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”) that amended and extended the Credit Agreement. The Tenth Amendment increased the Revolving Credit Commitment from $40.0 million to $45.0 million, and also increased the Borrowing Base for Revolving Loans from the sum of (a) 85% of outstanding unpaid Eligible Receivable and (b) the lesser of $30.0 million and 50% of Eligible Inventory to the sum of (a) 85% of outstanding unpaid Eligible Receivables and (b) the lesser of $35.0 million (reduced to $32.5 million beginning with the first quarter of the 2026 fiscal year) and 60% of Eligible Inventory (reduced to 55% of Eligible Inventory beginning with the third quarter of the 2025 fiscal year, and 50% of Eligible Inventory beginning with the first quarter of the 2026 fiscal year).

The Company intends to use the increased borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement to help finance its previously announced proposed acquisition of Katsa Oy by TD Finland Holding Oy, a wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company. The BMOTenth Amendment specifically permits the Company to use Revolving Loans for the Katsa Oy acquisition. In addition, in determining whether the Company is in compliance with its Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio, the Company’s EBITDA will include transaction expenses of up to $0.6 million for the Katsa Oy acquisition, as well as pro-forma EBITDA of Katsa Oy as permitted by the Bank.

The Tenth Amendment also extended the Credit Agreement providesthrough April 1, 2027 and extended the maturity date of the Term Loan and the Term Loan Commitment Date to April 1, 2027. Prior to the Tenth Amendment, the Credit Agreement was scheduled to terminate as of June 30, 2025, and the Term Loan and Term Loan Commitment Date were scheduled to mature/terminate on March 4, 2026.

The Tenth Amendment also increased the Applicable Margins under the Credit Agreement for a borrowing base calculationpurposes of determining interest rates on Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, Term Loans, and the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment. Prior to determine borrowing capacity. This capacity will be based upon eligible domestic inventory, eligible accounts receivablethe Tenth Amendment, the Applicable Margins were between 1.25% and machinery2.75% for Revolving Loans and equipment, subjectLetters of Credit; 1.375% and 2.875% for Term Loans; and .10% and .15% for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to certain adjustments. EBITDA ratio). Under the Tenth Amendment, the Applicable Margins are between 2% and 3.5% for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit; 2.125% and 3.625% for Term Loans; and .15% and .3% for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio).

The Tenth Amendment also increased the amount of Restricted Payments that the Company may make in the form of cash dividends, distributions, purchases, redemptions, or other acquisitions of its common stock from $3.0 million to $5.0 million in any fiscal year.

The Company remains in compliance with its liquidity and other covenants.

As of DecemberMarch 29, 2017, 2024, current maturities include $2.0 million of term loan payments due within the coming year.

Other: Other long-term debt pertains mainly to a financing arrangement in Europe. These liabilities carry terms of three to five years and implied interest rates ranging from 7% to 25%. A total amount of $10 in principal was paid on these liabilities during the current fiscal year.

During the quarters ended March 29, 2024, the average interest rate was 6.83% on the Term Loan, and 5.12% on the Revolving Loans.

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company calculates basic earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, while the calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes all potential common shares if their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.  RestrictedCertain restricted stock award recipients have a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends declared by the Company and are therefore included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-classtwo-class method. 

 

As discussed in Note A, during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company changed its Accounting method related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for its pension plans. Under the new method, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in net periodic benefit costs upon annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events warrant remeasurement. These changes have been applied retrospectively to prior years. See Notes A, G, K, and P for further information regarding the impact of the change in accounting principle on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

N.

Lease Liabilities

The Company leases certain office and 13.2 relatedwarehouse space, as well as production and office equipment.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. The lease term begins upon lease commencement, which is when the Company takes possession of the asset, and may include options to outstanding stock options.extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. As its lease agreements typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company primarily uses an incremental borrowing rate based upon the information available at lease commencement. In determining the incremental borrowing rate, the Company considers its current borrowing rate, the term of the lease, and the economic environments where the lease activity is concentrated. Some of the Company’s leases contain non-lease components (e.g., common area, other maintenance costs, etc.) that relate to the lease components of the agreement. Non-lease components and the lease components to which they relate are accounted for as a single lease component.

Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time, the Company enters into derivative instruments to manage volatility arising from risks relating to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not purchase, hold, or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company’s practice is to terminate derivative transactions if the underlying asset or liability matures or is sold or terminated, or if it determines the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring.

The Company reports all derivative instruments on its condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of transactions entered into for hedging purposes.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company has one outstanding interest rate swap contract as of March 29, 2024, with a notional amount of $10,000. It has been designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

The primary purpose of the Company’s cash flow hedging activities is to manage the potential changes in value associated with interest payments on the Company’s SOFR-based indebtedness. The Company records gains and losses on interest rate swap contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent that these hedges are effective and until the Company recognizes the underlying transactions in net earnings, at which time these gains and losses are recognized in interest expense on its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from financing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. These contracts generally have original maturities of greater than twelve months.

Net unrealized after-tax gains related to cash flow hedging activities that were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss were $539 and $688 as of March 29, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively. The unrealized amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss will fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of open contracts during each reporting period.

The Company estimates that $230 of net unrealized losses related to cash flow hedging activities included in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

Derivatives Designated as Net Investment Hedges

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to its investment in net assets in foreign countries. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company designated its euro denominated Revolving Loan, with a notional amount of €13,000, as a net investment hedge to mitigate the risk of variability in its euro denominated net investments in wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. All changes in the fair value of the euro revolver were then recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss along with the foreign currency translation adjustments on those foreign investments. Net unrealized after-tax income related to net investment hedging activities that were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss were ($1,348) and ($1,272) as of March 29, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Item 2.     Management Discussion and Analysis

Management Discussion and Analysis

 

In the financial review that follows, we discuss our results of operations, financial condition, and certain other information. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements as of DecemberMarch 29, 2017,2024, and related notes, as reported in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

 

Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking“forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include the Company’s description of plans and objectives for future operations and assumptions behind those plans. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” and “expects,” or similar anticipatory expressions, usually identify forward-looking statements. In addition, goals established by Twin Disc, Incorporatedthe Company should not be viewed as guarantees or promises of future performance. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.

 

In addition to the assumptions and information referred to specifically in the forward-looking statements, other factors, including but not limited to those factors discussed under Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Company’sCompany’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for June 30, 20172023, as supplemented in this Quarterly Report, could cause actual results to be materially different from what is expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law in the United States. The Tax Act, among other provisions, introduces changes in the U.S. corporate tax rate, business related exclusions and deductions and credits, and has tax consequences for companies that operate internationally.

The fiscal 2018 second2024 third quarter tax expense primarily reflects the impact of the new Tax Act. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash tax expense of $4.6 million in the second fiscal quarter, primarily due to a remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities driven by the revised rate structure. Similarly, a rate change in Belgium resulted in a $0.4 million non-cash tax expense due to remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Excluding the impact of the U.S. and Belgian deferred tax remeasurements, the Company’s effective tax rate was 49.3%. This is higher than10.6% compared to 14.0% in the prior fiscal year second quarterthird quarter. The full domestic valuation allowance, along with the mix of foreign earnings by jurisdiction, resulted in the reduced effective tax rate of 29.3%. The increase from the prior year is primarily due to the mix of earnings by jurisdiction and the impact of improved operating results on full year projections.for both periods.

 

Within the calculation of our annual effective tax rate we have used assumptions and estimates that may change as a result of future guidance, interpretation, and rule-making from the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and/or various other taxing jurisdictions. The Tax Act contains many significant changes to the U.S. tax laws, the consequences of which have not yet been fully determined. Changes in corporate tax rates, the net deferred tax assets and/or liabilities relating to our U.S. operations, the taxation of foreign earnings, and the deductibility of expenses contained in the Tax Act or other future tax reform legislation could have a material impact on our future U.S. tax expense.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of this Quarterly Report requires management’smanagement’s judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

 

The Company’sCompany’s critical accounting policies are described in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for June 30, 2017.2023. There have been no significant changes to those accounting policies subsequent to June 30, 2017.2023.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

The Company is exposedelecting not to market risks from changes in interest rates, commodities and foreign exchange. To reduce such risks, the Company selectively uses financial instruments and other pro-active management techniques. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuantprovide this disclosure due to clearly defined policies and procedures, which prohibit the use of financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.its status as a Smaller Reporting Company.

 

Interest rate risk - The Company’s earnings exposure related to adverse movements of interest rates is primarily derived from outstanding floating rate debt instruments that are indexed to a Eurodollar Rate. In accordance with BMO Agreement expiring April 22, 2021, the Company has the option of borrowing at a Eurodollar Rate plus an additional “Add-On” of 1.75%. Due to the relative stability of interest rates, the Company did not utilize any financial instruments at December 29, 2017 to manage interest rate risk exposure. A 10 percent increase or decrease in the applicable interest rate would result in a change in annual pretax interest expense of approximately $14,000.

Commodity price risk - The Company is exposed to fluctuation in market prices for such commodities as steel and aluminum. The Company does not utilize commodity price hedges to manage commodity price risk exposure.

Currency risk - The Company has exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Approximately 26% of the Company’s revenues in the two quarters ended December 29, 2017 were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Of that total, approximately 56% was denominated in euros with the balance composed of Japanese yen, the Swiss franc, Indian rupee and the Australian and Singapore dollars. The Company does not hedge the translation exposure represented by the net assets of its foreign subsidiaries. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity. Forward foreign exchange contracts are occasionally used to hedge the currency fluctuations on significant transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

Derivative financial instruments - The Company has written policies and procedures that place all financial instruments under the direction of the Company’s corporate treasury group and restrict derivative transactions to those intended for hedging purposes. The use of financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes is prohibited. The Company occasionally uses financial instruments to manage the market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company primarily enters into forward exchange contracts to reduce the earnings and cash flow impact of non-functional currency denominated receivables and payables. These contracts are highly effective in hedging the cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from these contracts offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the underlying assets and liabilities being hedged. The maturities of the forward exchange contracts generally coincide with the settlement dates of the related transactions. Gains and losses on these contracts are recorded in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as the changes in the fair value of the contracts are recognized and generally offset the gains and losses on the hedged items in the same period. The primary currency to which the Company was exposed in fiscal 2018 and 2017 was the euro. At December 29, 2017, the Company had no outstanding forward exchange contracts. At June 30, 2017, one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had three outstanding forward exchange contracts to purchase U.S. dollars in the notional value of $1,050,000 with a weighted average maturity of 53 days. The fair value of the Company’s contract was a loss of $29,000 at June 30, 2017.
