Critical2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition.In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin 104,” we recognize revenues principally from the sale of products at the point of passage of title, which is at the time of shipment, except for certain customers for which it occurs when the products reach their destination.

Restatement

 

We also recognize revenueOn August 2, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with the Company’s management, concluded that the previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended April 2, 2022, April 3, 2021, and March 28, 2020 and the consolidated financial statements for the quarters therein (the “Affected Periods”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2022 contained an error related to the accounting of non-cash stock-based compensation granted to the Company’s CEO and COO. As a Ship-In-Place basisresult of this error, the Audit Committee determined that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for three customers who have requiredthe Affected Periods included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K should not be relied upon and should be restated by adjusting selling, general and administrative expenses to reflect non-cash stock-based compensation that we hold the product after final production is complete. In this case, a written agreement has been executed (at the customer’s request) whereby the customer accepts the risk of loss for product that is invoiced under the Ship-In-Place arrangement. For each transaction for which revenue is recognized under a Ship-In-Place arrangement, all final manufacturing inspectionsshould have been completedrecognized in each of the Affected Periods. Any previously issued or filed reports, press releases, earnings releases and customer acceptance has been obtained. Ininvestor presentations or other communications describing the three months ended December 30, 2017, 1.8%Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements and other related financial information covering the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon.

The need for the restatement arose out of the Company’s total net sales werereexamination of the timing of the Company’s recognition of stock-based compensation, a non-cash item, for awards granted to the CEO and COO in light of their employment agreements as then in effect, which historically included provisions that (i) would accelerate the vesting of all the CEO’s then-unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options in the event that he voluntarily resigns from employment or provides the Company with notice that his employment agreement will not renew, and (ii) would accelerate the vesting of all the COO’s then-unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options in the event that he provides the Company with notice that his employment agreement will not renew. Historically, the Company recognized under Ship-In-Place transactions.stock-based compensation for restricted stock awards granted to the CEO and COO over the three-year vesting period and option awards over the five-year vesting period stated in the agreements underlying these awards, but U.S. GAAP requires stock-based compensation for awards to be recognized over the shorter service period effectively provided by the above-referenced provisions in the CEO and COO’s respective employment agreements.

 


The CEO and COO’s employment agreements have been amended to remove the provisions referred to above (which the Company, the CEO and COO consider to be a technical mistake causing the employment agreements to not reflect the parties’ mutual agreement) so the Company will recognize stock-based compensation for restricted stock and option awards granted in the future to the CEO and COO over the full three- and five-year vesting periods, respectively, rather than over the shorter service period applicable to the prior awards.

Recent Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted

In May 2017,March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation(ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 718): Scope848) - Facilitation of Modification Accounting”,the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The objective of the standard is to address operational challenges likely to arise in an effort to reduce diversity in practice as it relates to applying modification accounting for changescontract modifications and hedge accounting due to the termsreference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and conditionsexceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of share-based payment awards. This ASUreference rate reform. The standard update is effective for public companiesall 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 is currently assessing which of its various contracts will require an update for a new reference rate and will determine the financial statements issuedtiming for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoptionimplementation of this ASU isguidance after completing that analysis.

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 Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”,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 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 $274,610 at July 2, 2022. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 64% and 89% 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 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 July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, current contract assets were $4,875 and $3,882, 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 July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, 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 effortunconditional right to improvereceive a customer advance, prior to revenue being recognized. Since the presentationperformance 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 these coststhe transfer of the related goods or services is at the discretion of the customer.

As of July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, current contract liabilities were $21,009 and $19,556, respectively, and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the income statement. Underconsolidated balance sheets. The increase in current GAAP, all componentscontract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments received and the reclassification of both net periodic pension costa portion of advance payments received from the noncurrent portion of contract liabilities partially offset by revenue recognized on customer contracts. For the three months ended July 2, 2022, the Company recognized revenues of $3,868 that were included in the contract liability balance as of April 2, 2022. For the three months ended July 3, 2021, the Company recognized revenues of $4,650 that were included in the contract liability balance at April 3, 2021.

As of July 2, 2022 and net periodic postretirement costApril 2, 2022, noncurrent contract liabilities were $10,732 and $10,401, respectively, and included within other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The 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, the right to return eligible products, and/or other forms of variable consideration. 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 $38,779 and $35,234 at July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively, and are included within selling, generalaccrued expenses and administrative costsother current liabilities on the income statement. This ASU would require entities to include only the service cost component within selling, general and administrative costs whereas all other components would be included within other non-operating expense. In addition, only the service cost component would be eligible for capitalization when applicable (for example, as a cost of internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset). The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. This ASU is effective for public companies for the financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on its financial position and/or results of operations.consolidated balance sheets.

 


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The objective of this standard update is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, assuming the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”, in an effort to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-equity transfers of assets other than inventory. Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. This ASU establishes the requirement that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This ASU is effective for public companies for the financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on its financial position and/or results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for public companies for the financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on its statements of cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. This ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this standard on April 2, 2017. As a result of the adoption, the Company began recording the tax effects associated with stock-based compensation through the income statement on a prospective basis which resulted in a tax benefit of $3.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018. Prior to adoption, these amounts would have been recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. This change may create volatility in the Company’s effective tax rate. The adoption of this standard also resulted in a cumulative effect change to opening retained earnings of $1.1 million for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits.

In addition, the Company will prospectively classify all tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments, including the excess tax benefits related to the settlement of stock-based awards, as cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Prior to the adoption of this standard, these were shown as cash inflows from financing activities and cash outflows from operating activities.

 


The adoption of the ASU also resulted in the Company removing the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares when calculating diluted earnings per share on a prospective basis. The revised calculation increased the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding by approximately 0.1 million shares in the period of adoption. The Company also made an accounting policy election to continue to estimate forfeitures as it did prior to adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The core principal of ASU 2016-02 is that an entity should recognize on its balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from a lease. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as a finance or operating lease. This new accounting guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 under a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This update requires the company to measure inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This ASU applies to companies measuring inventory using methods other than the last-in, first-out (LIFO) and retail inventory methods, including but not limited to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average costing methods. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis on April 2, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The objective of this standard update is to remove inconsistent practices with regards to revenue recognition between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The standard intends to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

The guidance permits use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Based upon the FASB’s decision to approve a one-year delay in implementation, the new standard is now effective for the Company in fiscal 2019, with early adoption permitted, but not earlier than fiscal 2018. The Company has concluded it will utilize the modified retrospective method upon adopting this standard.

The Company has substantially completed their assessment of the impact of the new standard on its business which has identified potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard to its revenue contracts. Upon adoption, the Company expects certain revenue streams currently accounted for using a point-in-time model will utilize an over-time model due to the continuous transfer of control to customers. The Company is in the process of drafting updated accounting policies and disclosures under the new guidance. The Company has not finalized the impact of reported revenues and earnings of adopting the new standard but expects to do so by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

2.5. Net Income Per Share Available to Common ShareStockholders

 

Basic net income per share available to common sharestockholders is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

 

Diluted net income per share available to common sharestockholders is computed by dividing net income available 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.options and the conversion of 5.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) to common shares. The MCPS were 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 per share available to common stockholders by adjusting net income in the numerator for the effect of the cumulative MCPS dividends for the respective period.

For the three-month period ended July 2, 2022, 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 to common stockholders. Accordingly, net income was reduced by cumulative MCPS dividends, as presented in our consolidated statement of operations, for purposes of calculating net income available to common stockholders.

For the three months ended July 2, 2022, 202,894 employee stock options and 29,054 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options and restricted shares would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended July 3, 2021, 160,600 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 Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or lessFair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be cash equivalents.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:

 

Short-term investments, if any, are comprised of equity securities and are measured at fair value by usingLevel 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.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, accounts payable and accruals and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

The Company also measures certain assets at fair value, using Level 3 inputs, as Level 1a result of the valuation hierarchy.

4.   Inventoryoccurrence of triggering events such as purchase accounting for acquisitions.

 

No other material assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.

Financial Instruments:

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. 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. 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 Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $431,875 and $463,750 at July 2, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $492,608 at July 2, 2022 and $492,396 at April 2, 2022. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate debt was measured using Level 2 inputs. The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were approximately $491,992 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.

7.   Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in thenumerous U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longerjurisdictions, with returns subject to state or foreign income tax examinations by tax authoritiesexamination for yearsvarying periods, but generally back to and including the year ending before April 2, 2005. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years ending before March 29, 2014. A U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the year ended March 30, 2013 was effectively settled in fiscal 2016.31, 2018.

 

The effective income tax rates for the three monththree-month periods ended December 30, 2017July 2, 2022 and December 31, 2016July 3, 2021, were 23.9%21.8% and 31.5%18.4%(1) , respectively. During the third quarter, Congress passed and the President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) of 2017 into law. The new law includes a number of changes in existing tax law impacting businesses including a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%. As a result, the blended statutory rate applied for the current fiscal year is 31.5%. As of December 30, 2017, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects associated with the TCJA. The impacts recorded, as detailed below, represent our estimate of the impact during the current fiscal year. In addition to discrete items, the effective income tax rates for these periods are different from the U.S. statutory rates due to a special U.S. manufacturing deduction, the foreign-derived intangible income provision and U.S. credit for increasing research activities, and foreign income taxed at lower rates which decrease the rate, and state income taxes, whichforeign income taxes, and nondeductible stock-based compensation, that increase the rate.

 

The effective income tax rate for the three monththree-month period ended December 30, 2017July 2, 2022 of 23.9% was impacted by one-time adjustments associated with the enactment21.8% includes $600 of the TCJA. Included in these adjustments was an estimated charge of $9,491 associated with the repatriation transition tax and an estimated benefit of $8,708 associated with the revaluation of our deferred tax liabilities. The TCJA also impacted the third quarter provision with a benefit from the lower blended statutory tax rate of 31.5%. The third quarter provision was also impacted by approximately $1,238 of benefit associated with share-based compensation, along with $32 of tax benefit for the adoptionrelease of ASU 2016-09Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accountingand $45unrecognized tax positions associated with a statute of other discrete expense related to federal and state tax filing positions.limitations expiration. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three monththree-month period ended December 30, 2017July 2, 2022 would have been 25.3%23.1%. The effective income tax rate for the three monththree-month period ended December 31, 2016July 3, 2021 of 31.5% 18.4%(1) includes immaterial discrete items$2,139 of $56.tax benefit associated with share-based compensation, along with $160 of tax benefit for the release of unrecognized tax positions associated with a statute of limitations expiration. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three monththree-month period ended December 31, 2016July 3, 2021 would have been 31.8%26.2%(1). The Company believes it is reasonably possible that some of its unrecognized tax positions may be effectively settled within the next twelve months due to the closing of audits and the statute of limitations expiring in varying jurisdictions. The decrease in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions reserve, pertaining primarily to federal and state credits and state tax, is estimated to be approximately $531.$1,607 over the next twelve months.

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 the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended July 2, 2022, $82 of acquisition costs have been incurred. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change pending a final valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based on their fair values at the date of acquisition as follows:

  November 1,
2021
 
Cash and cash equivalents $81,868 
Accounts receivable  83,533 
Inventory  136,376 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets  1,261 
Property, plant and equipment  165,109 
Operating lease assets  9,768 
Goodwill  1,601,881 
Other intangible assets  1,385,082

Accounts payable  (69,757)
Accrued rebates  (30,184)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities  (44,766)
Deferred tax liabilities  (299,711)
Other noncurrent liabilities  (56,989)
Net assets acquired  2,967,143 
Less cash received  81,868 
Net consideration $2,885,275 

The goodwill associated with this acquisition is the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of the acquired business with the Company’s operations and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. $44,941 of the acquired goodwill is deductible for tax 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 name, $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 $177,473 of revenue and $30,494 of operating income for the three months ended July 2, 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 twelve months. The Company has the option to extend the support period for up to a maximum of an additional year for certain IT services. RBC has the right to terminate individual services at any point over the renewal term. All services are expected to be terminated by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company reached a decision to restructure its manufacturing operation in Montreal, Canada. After completing its obligations, the Company expects to close its RBC Canada location and consolidate certain residual assets into other locations by the end of this fiscal year. As a result, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of $5,5772023. Costs associated with the restructuringTSA were $3,705 for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and are included in other, net on the second quarter of fiscal 2018 attributable to the Engineered Products segment. The $5,577 charge includes a $1,337 impairment of fixed assets and a $5,157 impairment of intangible assets offset by a $917 tax benefit. The impairment charges were recognized within the “Other, net” line item within theCompany’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company determined thatSince the market approach was the most appropriate method to estimate the fair valuepurchase of the fixed assets using comparable sales data and actual quotes from potential buyers in the market place. The fixed assets are comprised of land, a building, machinery and equipment. The Company assessed the fair value of the intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360-10, which are comprised of customer relationships, product approvals, tradenames and trademarks. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $1,091 comprised primarily of employee termination costs. TheseDodge business on November 1, 2021, costs were recorded within the “Other, net” line item within the consolidated statement of operations and are all attributable to the Engineered Products segment. The cumulative restructuring charges as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018, net of taxes, were $6,668. The total impact of this restructuring is expected to be between $7,000 and $7,500 in after-tax charges, all attributable to the Engineered Products segment, and is expected to conclude in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company reached a decision to integrate and restructure its industrial manufacturing operation in South Carolina. The Company exited a few smaller product offerings and consolidated two manufacturing facilities into one. These restructuring efforts will better align our manufacturing capacity and market focus. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $7,060 associated with the restructuring in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 attributable to the Roller Bearings segment. The $7,060 charge includes $3,215 of inventory rationalization costs, $261 in impairment of intangibles, $2,402 loss on fixed assets disposals, and $1,182 exit obligation associated with a building operating lease. The inventory rationalization costsTSA were recorded in Cost of Sales in the income statement. All other costs were recorded under operating expenses in the “Other, net” category of the income statement. The pre-tax charge of $7,060 was offset with a tax benefit of approximately $2,222. The Company determined that the market approach was the most appropriate method to estimate the fair value for the inventory, intangible assets, equipment and building operating lease using comparable sales data and actual quotes from potential buyers in the market place.$11,708 through July 2, 2022.

Overview


 

Overview

We are a well-known international manufacturer and maker of highly engineered precisionhighly-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 addedvalue-added manufacturing and engineering capabilities enable us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and enhance profitability. We believe our unique expertise has enabled us to garner leading positions in many of the product markets in which we primarily compete. With 4556 facilities in 10 countries, of which 3637 are manufacturing facilities, in six countries, we have been able to significantly broaden our end markets, products, customer base and geographic reach. We currently operate

Previously we operated under four reportable business segments:segments – Plain Bearings;Bearings, Roller Bearings;Bearings, Ball Bearings;Bearings, and Engineered Products. The following further describes theseProducts – but the Dodge acquisition has resulted in a change in the internal organization of the Company and how our chief operating decision maker makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates resources so that we now operate under two reportable segments:business segments – Aerospace/Defense and Industrial:

 

Aerospace/Defense. This segment represents the end markets for the Company’s highly engineered bearings and precision components used in commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and marine and ground defense applications.

Plain Bearings.Plain bearings are produced with either self-lubricating or metal-to-metal designs and consist of several sub-classes, including rod end bearings, spherical plain bearings and journal bearings. Unlike ball bearings, which are used in high-speed rotational applications, plain bearings are primarily used to rectify inevitable misalignments in various mechanical components.

 

17 

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.

Roller Bearings.Roller bearings are anti-friction bearings that use rollers instead of balls. We manufacture four basic types of roller bearings: heavy duty needle roller bearings with inner rings, tapered roller bearings, track rollers and aircraft roller bearings.

Ball Bearings. We manufacture four basic types of ball bearings: high precision aerospace, airframe control, thin section and commercial ball bearings which are used in high-speed rotational applications.

Engineered Products.Engineered Products consists of highly engineered hydraulics, fasteners, collets and precision components used in aerospace, marine and industrial applications.

 

Purchasers of bearings and engineered products include industrial equipment and machinery manufacturers, producers of commercial and military aerospace equipment such as missiles and radar systems, agricultural machinery manufacturers, construction, energy, mining, marine and specialized equipment manufacturers, marine products, automotive and commercial truck manufacturers. 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 aerospaceAerospace/Defense and defense and diversified industrialIndustrial 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 precision engineeredhighly-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.

 

Outlook


 

Outlook

Our net sales for the three monththree-month period ended December 30, 2017July 2, 2022 increased 13.8%126.7% compared to the same period last fiscal year. Our industrial marketsyear; excluding Dodge sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, net sales were up 13.1% period over period. The increase in net sales was a result of a 286.8% increase in our Industrial segment and 10.0% increase in our Aerospace/Defense segment. Excluding sales from Dodge, our Industrial segment increased 23.1% while the aerospace markets increased 8.9%.17.3% year over year. Our backlog, as of December 30, 2017,July 2, 2022, was $392.5$635.7 million compared to $349.1$603.1 million as of December 31, 2016.April 2, 2022.

 

Management believesWe are continuing to see the recovery of the commercial aerospace business, which has increased by 18.9% versus the same period last year. We anticipate this recovery to accelerate throughout the rest of the fiscal year and beyond. Orders have continued to grow as evidenced by our backlog. Defense sales, which represented approximately 35.0% of segment sales this period, were down 3.4% year over year. This is in part due to the timing of delivery on parts that require government approval and/or completion of certain milestone achievements prior to invoicing.

The increase in our industrial sales reflects a pattern of sustained growth over the last year, with strong results in several areas. Mining increased by more than 25.0% year over year. Our oil and gas business this quarter showed the start of a strong recovery which is expected to continue into future periods. Other notable strengths in industrial were in semiconductor and general industrial markets. The increase in our global industrial sales was negatively impacted by the Covid related shut downs in China, where Dodge has a plant in Shanghai.

The Company expects net sales to be approximately $355 million to $365 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

We experienced strong cash flow generation during the first 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. We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the credit facilitiesRevolving Credit Facility and Foreign Revolver will provide adequate resources to fund internal and external growth initiatives for the foreseeable future.future, including at least the next 12 months. As of December 30, 2017,July 2, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $43.8$119.6 million of which approximately $40.5$24.8 million 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 entities.

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 maker makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates resources. Accordingly, we will now report our financial results under two operating segments: Aerospace/Defense; and Industrial. Financial information for the nine month period ended December 30, 2017 was $23.6 million comparedfiscal 2022 has been recast to $23.6 million for the nine month period ended December 31, 2016. Our effective income tax rate for the nine month period ended December 30, 2017 was 28.0% compared to 32.5% for the nine month period ended December 31, 2016. The effective income tax rate for the nine month period ended December 30, 2017 of 28.0% was impacted by adjustments made in relationconform to the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). These were mainly comprised of a charge of $9.5 million for the repatriation transition tax and a benefit of $8.7 million associated with the revaluation of our deferred tax liabilities. The effective tax rate also benefited from a lower blended statutory rate of 31.5% as a result of the enactment of TCJA, $3.9 million of benefit associated with ASU 2016-09Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, $0.9 million of benefit associated with restructuring and integration activities, and $0.2 million of other discrete benefits. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the nine month period ended December 30, 2017 would have been 33.0%. The effective income tax rate for the nine month period ended December 31, 2016 was 32.5%, which included immaterial discrete benefit of $0.2 million. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the nine month period ended December 31, 2016 would have been 32.8%. Based on our initial reviews and subject to further regulatory guidance issued in connection with TCJA, we estimate the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 effective tax rate will be approximately 25.0% to 27.0% and we estimate the full year fiscal 2019 effective tax rate will be approximately 20.0% to 22.0%.


Integration and Restructuring of Operations

In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company reached a decision to restructure its manufacturing operation in Montreal, Canada. After completing its obligations, the Company expects to close its RBC Canada location and consolidate certain residual assets into other locations by the end of this fiscal year. As a result, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of $5.6 million associated with the restructuring in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 attributable to the Engineered Products segment. The $5.6 million charge includes a $1.3 million impairment of fixed assets and a $5.2 million impairment of intangible assets offset by a $0.9 million tax benefit. The impairment charges were recognized within the “Other, net” line item within the consolidated statement of operations. The Company determined that the market approach was the most appropriate method to estimate the fair value of the fixed assets using comparable sales data and actual quotes from potential buyers in the market place. The fixed assets are comprised of land, a building, machinery and equipment. The Company assessed the fair value of the intangible assets in accordance with ASC 360-10, which are comprised of customer relationships, product approvals, tradenames and trademarks. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $1.1 million comprised primarily of employee termination costs. These costs were recorded within the “Other, net” line item within the consolidated statement of operations and are all attributable to the Engineered Products segment. The cumulative restructuring charges as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018, net of taxes, were $6.7 million. The total impact of this restructuring is expected to be between $7.0 million and $7.5 million in after-tax charges, all attributable to the Engineered Productsnew segment and is expected to conclude in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company anticipates a positive cash flow result of approximately $5.2 million from this transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(dollars in millions in tables)

 

Our business is capital intensive.capital-intensive. Our capital requirements include manufacturing equipment and materials. In addition, we have historically fueled our growth, in part, through acquisitions.acquisitions, including the Dodge acquisition completed on November 1, 2021. We have historically met our working capital, capital expenditure requirements and acquisition funding needs through our net cash flows provided by operations, various debt arrangements and sale of equity to investors. We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the FacilitiesRevolving Credit Facility and Foreign Revolver will provide adequate resources to fund internal and external 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 expenditures 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, partially or completely, relocate, production lines, consolidate or otherwise dispose of those 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 December 30, 2017,July 2, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $43.8$119.6 million, of which, approximately $40.5$24.8 million 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 entities.subsidiaries.

Other Matters

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Revenue Recognition.See page 7 in Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 20172022 Annual Report incorporated by reference in our fiscal 2017on Form 10-K,10-K/A describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the first ninethree months of fiscal 2018.2023.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We haveAs of July 2, 2022, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements.arrangements other than $3.7 million of outstanding standby letters of credit, all of which were under the Revolving Credit Facility.

ITEMItem 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, which 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 theour credit agreement.agreements. 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.

 

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

Australia – Australian dollarIndia – rupee
Canada – Canadian dollarMexico – peso
China – Chinese yuanPoland – zloty
France – euroSwitzerland – Swiss franc
Germany – euro

As a result, of our operations in Europe, we are exposed to risk associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar the Euro, the Swiss Franc, the Polish Zloty and the Canadian Dollar. Our Swiss operations utilize the Swiss Franc as the functional currency, our French and German operations utilize the Euro as the functional currency, our Polish operations utilize the Polish Zloty as the functional currency and our Canadian operations utilize the Canadian Dollar as the functional currency.these currencies. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in earnings. Approximately 12% and 11% of our net sales were impacted by foreign currency fluctuations in the first nine months of both fiscal 2018 compared to approximately 10% for the same period in fiscal 2017. We expect that this proportion is likely to increase as we seek to increase our penetration of foreign markets, particularly within the aerospacethree- month periods ended July 2, 2022 and defense markets.July 3, 2021, respectively. Foreign currency transaction exposure arises primarily from the transfer of foreign currency from one subsidiary to another within the group, and to foreign currency denominated trade receivables. Unrealized currency translation gains and losses are recognized upon translation of the foreign subsidiaries’operations’ balance sheets to U.S. dollars. Because our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our earnings. 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, (“AOCI”), and is reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of December 30, 2017,July 2, 2022, we had no derivatives.


ITEMItem 4. Controls and Procedures

Management is in the process of implementing its remediation plan, which includes steps to design and implement new controls regarding management’s review of new or modified employment agreements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.key executives. The Company will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the nine monththree-month period ended December 30, 2017July 2, 2022, other than the material weakness noted above, 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 Exchange Act).

 

As discussed within Note 13 included within 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.

We do not believe that any litigation or proceeding in which we are currently involved, including those discussed below, either individually or in the aggregate, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flow or prospects.

ITEMItem 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors and uncertainties duringsince the three month period ended December 30, 2017.most recent filing of our Form 10-K/A, other than what has been described below, which is also disclosed within the most recent filing of our Form 10-K/A. For a discussion of the Risk Factors,risk factors, refer to Part I, Item 2, “Cautionary Statement As Toas to Forward-Looking Information,”Information” contained in this quarterly report and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the periodfiscal year ended April 1, 2017.2, 2022.

New Risk Factor

The Company has identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. If not remediated, the Company’s failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in its financial statements and a failure to meet its reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the trading price of its common stock.

Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K, management identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to the design of its control to consider all relevant terms within executive employment agreements and the related application of relevant authoritative accounting guidance for stock-based compensation awards, a non-cash item. Company-wide, there are two employment agreements for executive officers; one for its Chief Executive Officer and one for its Chief Operating Officer . A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As discussed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the Company’s management has re-evaluated its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that they were not effective as of April 2, 2022.

The Company is committed to remediating its material weakness as promptly as possible. Management is in the process of implementing its remediation plan. However, there can be no assurance as to when the material weakness will be remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. If the Company is unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, its ability to record, process and report financial information timely and accurately could be adversely affected, which could subject the Company to litigation or investigations, require management resources, increase costs, negatively affect investor confidence and adversely impact its stock price.
