In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the world and has led certain countries or jurisdictions within them to restrict travel, social gatherings and certain types of business activity deemed to be "non-essential," which has created a recessionary environment in the U.S. and around the globe and has led to a decline in demand in many end markets, including several that we serve. Also, in March 2020, as a result of the weakened demand for crude oil resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and magnified by political tensions between several large crude oil-producing countries, there was a substantial decline in crude oil prices magnified by significant volatility that has continued to date. Both factors had a negative impact on our revenues in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, as compared with the same quarter in fiscal year 2020, and are expected to negatively impact our results in the balance of fiscal year 2021.

We expect our results of operations and financial condition to continue to be adversely impacted as compared with the prior year through the duration of the pandemic due to its effects on the economy and demand for our products and services. However, we cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude or length of the adverse impact due to continued uncertainty regarding (1) the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) the extent of the potential short and long-term impact on our facilities and employees, customer demand and availability of materials through supply channels.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 (“Quarterly Report”), include all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities directly attributable to CSWI and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of CSWI’s financial position as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020, and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019. All adjustments are of a normal, and recurring nature. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in CSWI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20192020 (the “Annual Report”).

Accounting Policies

We have consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements.  We have not made any changes in significant accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report, with the exception of the leaseexpected credit loss accounting policy described below as a result of adopting the new lease standards.expected credit loss standard.

LeasesWe determine if a contract is or contains a lease at inception by evaluating whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term calculated using our incremental borrowing rate, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, including any upfront lease payments made and excluding lease incentives. Lease liabilities represent the obligation to make future lease payments throughout the lease term. The lease term includes renewal periods when we are reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. The ROU asset is amortized over the expected lease term. Lease and non-lease components, when present on our leases, are accounted for separately. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are excluded from recognition in the balance sheet, and the expense for these short-term leases and for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have certain lease contracts with terms and conditions that provide for variability in the payment amount based on changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date. These variable lease payments are recognized in our condensed consolidated income statements as the obligation is incurred. As of September 30, 2019, we did not have material leases that imposed significant restrictions or covenants, material related party leases or sale-leaseback arrangements.

Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") - We record an allowance for credit losses on trade receivables that, when deducted from the gross trade receivables balance, presents the net amount expected to be collected. We estimate the allowance based on an aging schedule and according to historical losses as determined from our billings and collections history. This may be adjusted after consideration of customer-specific factors such as financial difficulties, liquidity issues or insolvency, as well as both current and forecasted macroeconomic conditions as of the reporting date. We adjust the allowance and recognize credit losses in the income statement each period. Trade receivables are written off against the allowance in the period when the receivable is deemed to be uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are reflected as a reduction to periodic credit losses in the income statement. Our allowance for expected credit losses for short-term receivables as of June 30, 2020 was $0.9 million, compared to $1.2 million as of March 31, 2020. The three months activity included $0.3 million for current period adjustments.

Accounting Developments

Pronouncements Implemented

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which has been subsequently amended with additional ASUs including ASU No. 2018-10 and ASU No. 2018-11 issued in July 2018, and ASU No. 2018-20 issued in December 2018, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous U.S. GAAP. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Modified retrospective application is permitted with certain practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this standard effective April 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach for leases existing at or entered into before the effective date. As such, the cumulative effect of the implementation has been recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption and prior periods have not been adjusted. Upon adoption, we elected the package of three practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which include the carry forward of our leases without reassessing whether any contracts are leases or contain leases, lease classification and initial direct lease costs. We also elected the transition practical expedient to apply hindsight when determining the lease term and when assessing impairment of ROU assets at the adoption date, which allows us to update our assessments according to new information and changes in facts and circumstances that have occurred since lease inception. Adoption of this ASU resulted in recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities of $16.9 million and $18.6 million, respectively, including leases classified as discontinued operations, as well as a reduction to opening retained earnings of $0.4 million, at the date of adoption. Refer to Note 8 for details of the impact of the adoption of this ASU.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements of Accounting for Hedging Activities." The purpose of this ASU is to better align a company's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships. Additionally, the ASU simplifies the hedge accounting requirements and improves the disclosures of hedging arrangements. This ASU was amended by ASU 2018-16 to include the secured overnight financing rate as an acceptable reference rate. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Adoption of this ASU effective April 1, 2019, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Pronouncements not yet implemented

In June 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASUAccounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,Instruments." as amended, whichThe ASU requires, among other things, the use of a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model in order to determine our allowancesan allowance for doubtful accountscredit losses with respect to accounts receivable.financial assets and instruments held. The CECL model requires that we estimate ourthe lifetime of an expected credit loss with respectfor financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. On April 1, 2020 we adopted the ASU on a prospective basis to determine our receivables and contract assets and record allowances that, when deducted from the balance of the receivables, represent the net amounts expected to be collected. We will also be required to disclose information about how we developed the allowances, including changes in the factors that influenced our estimate of expectedallowance for credit losses in accordance with the requirements of Topic 326, and we modified our accounting policy and processes to facilitate this approach. Our primary exposure to financial assets that are within the reasons for those changes. Thisscope of CECL are trade receivables.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework – "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,Measurement." which modifiesThe amendments of the ASU modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3for fair value measurements by removing, modifying or adding certain disclosure requirements for assets and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presentedliabilities measured at fair value in the initial fiscal yearstatement of adoption.

The removed and modified disclosures were adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures were adopted on a prospective basis. Our adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 effective April 1, 2020 did not impact our disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." The ASU addresses how entities should account for costs associated with implementing a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract. Per the amendments of the ASU, implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract should be accounted for in the same manner as implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain software for internal use as prescribed by guidance in ASC 350-40. The ASU requires that implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement be capitalized rather than expensed. Further, the ASU specifies the method for the amortization of costs incurred during implementation, and the manner in which the unamortized portion of these capitalized implementation costs should be evaluated for impairment. The ASU also provides guidance on how to present such implementation costs in the financial statements and also creates additional disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this ASU can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Our adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 effective April 1, 2020 did not have a materialan impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes."The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and adding some requirements regarding franchise (or similar) tax, step-ups in a business combination, treatment of entities not subject to tax and when to apply enacted changes in tax laws.This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments related to changes in ownership of foreign equity method investments or foreign subsidiaries should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to franchise taxes that are partially based on income should be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.

This ASU includes practical expedients for contract modifications due to reference rate reform. Generally, contract modifications related to reference rate reform may be considered an event that does not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination at the Implementation Costs Incurred in Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract."

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and. Economic Security ("CARES") Act, which, along with earlier issued Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") guidance, contains numerous provisions that may benefit us, including the deferral of certain taxes.The relevant tax implication impacting us is the correction of a technical issue introduced in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to provide for fifteen-year useful life and allow bonus depreciation for qualified improvement property.These changes were included in the fixed asset calculations for the tax year ending March 31, 2020, and we amended the tax return for the year ending March 31, 2019 to include this effect.We continue to assess the effect of the CARES Act and ongoing government guidance related to COVID-19 as it is issued.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Petersen Metals

On April 2, 2019, we acquired the assets of Petersen Metals, Inc. (“Petersen”), based near Tampa, Florida, for $11.8 million, of which $11.5 million was paid at closing and funded through our revolving credit facility, and the remaining $0.3 million represented a working capital adjustment paid in July 2019. Petersen is a leading designer, manufacturer and installer of architecturally-specified, engineered metal products and railings, including aluminum and stainless steel railings products for interior and exterior applications. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was $6.1 million allocated to goodwill, which will be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill represents the value expected to be obtained from enabling geographic, end market and product diversification and expansion as Petersen is a strategic complement to our existing line of architecturally-specified building products. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired included customer lists of $3.2 million and backlog of $0.4 million, as well as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment of $2.2 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, net of current liabilities of $1.5 million. Customer lists are being amortized over 15 years, backlog is amortized over 1.5 years and goodwill is not being amortized. Petersen activity has been included in our Industrial Products segment since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

MSD Research, Inc.

On January 31, 2019, we acquired the assets of MSD Research, Inc. (“MSD”), based in Boca Raton, Florida, for $10.1 million, funded through our revolving credit facility. MSD is a leading provider of condensate management products for commercial and residential HVAC/R systems, including float switches, drain line cleanouts and flush tools. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was $5.2 million allocated to goodwill, which will be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill represents the value expected to be obtained from a more extensive condensation management product portfolio for the HVAC/R market and leveraging our larger distributor network. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired included customer lists, trademarks and technology of $3.3 million, $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as well as inventory and accounts receivable of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Customer lists and technology are being amortized over 10 years and 5 years, respectively, while trademarks and goodwill are not being amortized.  MSD activity has been included in our Industrial Products segment since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, we commenced a sale process to divest our Coatings business to allow us to focus resources on our core growth platforms. Our Coatings business manufactured specialized industrial coating products including urethanes, epoxies, acrylics and alkyds. As of December 31, 2017, the Coatings business met the held-for-sale
8


criteria under ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment," and accordingly, we classified and accounted for the assets and liabilities of the Coatings business as held-for-sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and as discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows. We completed an initial assessment of the assets and liabilities of the Coatings business and recorded a $46.0 million impairment based on our best estimates as of the date of issuance of financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. No adjustments to previously recorded estimates have been made.

On July 31, 2018, we consummated a sale of assets related to our Coatings business to an unrelated third party, the terms of which were not disclosed due to immateriality. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we received an aggregate
8


of $6.9 million for the sale of assets related to our Coatings business in multiple transactions. This resulted in gains on disposal of $6.9 million due to write-downs of long-lived assets in prior periods.

On March 17, 2020, we completed the sale of the last remaining real property owned by the Coatings business to an unrelated third party, the terms of which were not disclosed due to immateriality. The sale resulted in proceeds and a gain on disposal of $1.5 million due to write-downs of long-lived assets in prior periods. The last remaining asset of the Coatings business is a long-term lease that expires in March 2027. We were unable to terminate the lease, but we have sub-let the property for the remainder of the lease term. As such, this lease was moved back into continuing operations, effective March 31, 2020, and the related right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities were reported as continuing operations as of March 31, 2020.

Summarized selected financial information for the Coatings business for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019 is presented in the following table:table (in thousands):

Revolving Credit Facility

As discussed in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report, we have a five-year,five-year, $250.0 million revolving credit facility agreement, with an additional $50.0 million accordion feature, which matures on September 15, 2022 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate of prime plus 0.25% or London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.25%, which may be adjusted based on our leverage ratio. We pay a commitment fee of 0.15% for the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.  Interest and commitment fees are payable at least quarterly and the outstanding principal balance is due at the maturity date. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our domestic assets. During the sixthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we borrowed $7.5$10.0 million and repaid $27.5$10.0 million under this facility, and asfacility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and March 31, 2019,2020, we had a remaining0 outstanding balance, of $0 and $20.0 million, respectively, which resulted in borrowing capacity of $300.0 million, and $280.0 million, respectively, inclusive of the accordion feature. Covenant compliance is tested quarterly, and we were in compliance with all covenants as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

As discussed in Note 1, we elected the transition practical expedient to apply hindsight when determining the lease term at the new lease standard adoption date. The increase in lease liabilities at September 30, 2019, as compared with future obligations as of March 31, 2019, represents the renewal period options that we were reasonably certain to exercise as of the adoption date.

The future minimum obligations under operating leases in effect as of March 31, 2019 having a noncancellable term in excess of one year as determined prior to the adoption of the new lease standard are as follows for the fiscal years ending March 31, (in thousands):

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

We have an interest rate swap agreement to hedge exposure to floating interest rates on a certain portion of our debt.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and March 31, 2019,2020, we had $11.2$10.8 million and $11.5$10.9 million, respectively, of notional amount outstanding designated as an interest rate swap with third parties.  The interest rate swap is highly effective.  At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the maximum remaining length of the interest rate swap contract was approximately 109.1 years. The fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument is summarized below (in thousands):

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the interest rate swap contract (as discussed in Note 9) is determined using Level 2 inputs.  The carrying value of our debt (discussed in Note 7) approximates fair value as it bears interest at floating rates.  The carrying amounts of other financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable) approximate their fair values at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and March 31, 20192020 due to their short-term nature.

13. RETIREMENT PLANS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our continuing operations financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report, as well as our consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019,2020 included in our Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations relating to future events and our future performance that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those risk factors set forth in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

We are a diversified industrial growth company with well-established, scalable platforms and domain expertise across two business segments: Industrial Products and Specialty Chemicals. Our broad portfolio of leading products provides performance optimizing and life safety solutions to our customers. Our products and systems help contractors do their jobs better, faster and easier; make buildings safer and more aesthetically pleasing; protect valuable assets from corrosion; and improve the reliability of mission critical equipment. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration ("HVAC/R, sealants, architecturally-specifiedR"), building products and high-performance specialty lubricants. Thelubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, general industrial, plumbing, energy, rail, mining and mining.general industrial. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States ("U.S.") and Canada, andbut we also have distribution operations in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom ("U.K."). Our products are sold directly to end users or through designated channels both domesticallyin over 100 countries around the world, including: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, the Netherlands, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, the U.K. and internationally.the U.S.

Many of our products are used to protect the capital assets of our customers that are expensive to repair or replace and are critical to their operations. We have a source of recurring revenue from theour end users' maintenance, repair and overhaul activities and the consumable nature of many of our products. We also provide some custom and semi-custom products that strengthen and enhance our customer relationships. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such ashighly respected industrial brands including RectorSeal No. 5, Kopr Kote, KATS Coatings, Jet-Lube Extreme, Smoke Guard, Safe-T-Switch, Metacaulk, Balco, Whitmore,5®, KOPR-KOTE®, Kats Coatings®, Safe-T-Switch®, Air Sentry, Oil Safe, Deacon, ACSentry®, Deacon®, Leak FreezeFreeze® and Greco Aluminum Railings.Greco®.

As previously disclosed, during the third quarterWe believe that our broad portfolio of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018,products and markets served, as well as our brand recognition, will continue to provide opportunities; however, we committed to a plan to divest our Strathmore Products business (the "Coatings business"). This determination resulted in the reclassification of the assets comprising that business to assets held-for-saleface ongoing challenges affecting many companies, such as environmental and a corresponding adjustment to our consolidated statements of operations to reflect discontinued operations for all periods presented. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we received an aggregate of $6.9 million for the sale of assets that related to our Coatings business in multiple transactions. To assist readers in comparing current period results to the prior period results, this sale of assets resulted in gains on disposal of $6.9 million due to write-downs of long-lived assets in prior periods, which gain was recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2018. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information.other regulatory compliance, combined with overall global economic uncertainty.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the world and has created a recessionary environment in the U.S. and around the globe. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced a decline in demand in all of the end markets we serve, though to varying degrees. Combined with significant volatility in oil prices that occurred in the first fiscal quarter to date, both factors had a negative impact on our financial results.

All of our operations and products support critical infrastructure and are considered "essential" in all of the relevant jurisdictions in which we operate, and our businesses have continued to operate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with appropriate safeguards for our employees. In response to the pandemic, we took numerous measures across our operating sites to ensure we continue to place the highest priority on the health, safety and well-being of our employees, while continuing to support our customers. While we continue to incur a modest amount of additional expense in supporting these measures, during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 and through the date of this filing, we have not experienced any material disruptions in our operations.

We continue to expect our results of operations and financial condition to be adversely impacted through the duration of the pandemic due to its effects on the economy and demand for our products and services, though we expect the magnitude of the adverse impact to be mixed across our served end markets. However, we cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude or length of the adverse impact due to continued uncertainty regarding (1) the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) the extent of the potential short and long-term impact on our facilities and employees, customer demand and availability of materials through supply channels.

Working capital used cash for the sixthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 due to higher inventories ($6.5 million), lower accounts payable and other current liabilities ($1.5 million), partially offset by lower accounts receivable ($3.3 million) and lower prepaid expenses and other current assets ($0.5 million).
Working capital used cash for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to lower accounts payable and other current liabilities ($3.18.9 million), higher accounts receivable ($4.8 million) and higher accounts receivableinventories ($1.12.2 million), mostlypartially offset by lower prepaid expenses and other current assets ($3.0 million).

Working capital used cash for the six months ended September 30, 2018 due to higher inventories ($5.7 million), higher prepaid expenses and other current assets ($4.2 million) and lower accounts payable and other current liabilities ($1.2 million), partially offset by lower accounts receivable ($1.54.6 million).

Cash flows used in investing activities offrom continuing operations during the sixthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 were $15.3 million as compared with $0.8 million of cash provided by investing activities of continuing operations during the six months ended September 30, 2018. During the six months ended September 30, 2019, we paid $11.8 million for the acquisition of Petersen and had no acquisitions during the six months ended September 30, 2018. Capital expenditures during the six months ended September 30, 2019 were $4.6 million, an increase of $1.8 million, as compared with $13.7 million for the sixthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.  2019.

Capital expenditures during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $1.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively.Our capital expenditures have been focused on new product introductions, capacity expansion, enterprise resource planning systems, continuous improvement automation, maintenance and new products. Proceeds fromautomation.
During the sale of assets during the sixthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, were $1.1we acquired Petersen for $11.5 million as compared with $3.5 million of proceeds during the six months ended September 30, 2018. , as discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Cash flows used in financing activities during the sixthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 and 2019 were $25.2$11.5 million as compared with $33.3and $12.5 million, for the six months ended September 30, 2018.  respectively.Cash outflows during the six months ended September 30, 2019 included $20.3 millionresulted from:

Net repayments on our line of net debt repaymentscredit and term loan (as discussed in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report) of $0.1 million and $4.1$9.6 million of dividends payments. Cash outflows during the sixthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 included $2.3 million of net debt repayments2020 and $30.8 million for the repurchase2019, respectively.
Repurchases of shares under our share repurchase programs (as discussed in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report). of $7.3 million and $0 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Dividend payments of $2.0 million and $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

We believe that available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows generated through continuing operations and cash available under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities of various sizes.  The cost and terms of any financing to be raised in conjunction with any acquisition, including our ability to raise capital, is a critical consideration in any such evaluation. Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report contains a discussion of the recent acquisitions.

Financing

Credit Facilities

See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of our indebtedness.  We were in compliance with all covenants as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge our exposure to variable interest payments related to our indebtedness.  This agreement is more fully described in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, and in “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” below.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we believe have or are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained within this Quarterly Report. Our critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements were discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report. No significant changes to these policies, as described in our Annual Report, have occurred in the sixthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

The process of preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  These estimates and
25


assumptions are based upon what we believe is the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions.  The estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change.  Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Based on an assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements provide a meaningful and fair perspective of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.  This is not to suggest that other general risk factors, such as
22


changes in worldwide demand, changes in material costs, performance of acquired businesses and others, could not adversely impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

We have presented the information about pronouncements not yet implemented in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements appearing in this Quarterly Report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include expected restructuring charges and the results of the restructuring, financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “potential,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to, or statements that are subject to risks, contingencies or uncertainties that relate to:
 
our business strategy;
adverse changes in global economic conditions, including changes resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic;
future levels of revenues, operating margins, income from operations, net income or earnings per share;
anticipated levels of demand for our products and services;
future levels of research and development, capital, environmental or maintenance expenditures;
our beliefs regarding the timing and effects on our business of health and safety, tax, environmental or other legislation, rules and regulations;
the success or timing of completion of ongoing or anticipated capital, restructuring or maintenance projects;
expectations regarding the acquisition or divestiture of assets and businesses;
our ability to obtain appropriate insurance and indemnities;
the potential effects of judicial or other proceedings, including tax audits, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;
the anticipated effects of actions of third parties such as competitors, or federal, foreign, state or local regulatory authorities, or plaintiffs in litigation; and
the effective date and expected impact of accounting pronouncements.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements for a number of important factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report. You should not put undue reliance on any forwarding-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our consolidated financial position and results of operations.  We seek to minimize the risk associated with changes in interest rates through regular operating and financing activities, and when deemed appropriate, through the use of an interest rate swap.  It is our policy to enter into interest rate swaps only to the extent considered necessary to meet our risk management objectives.  We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Variable Rate Indebtedness

We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate indebtedness. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct effect on interest expense associated with our outstanding indebtedness.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had no$0 in outstanding variable rate
26


indebtedness, after consideration of our interest rate swap.  We manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our current borrowings by means of an interest rate swap agreement.  At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had an interest rate swap agreement that covered 100.0% of our $11.2$10.8 million total outstanding indebtedness. Each quarter point change in interest rates would result in a negligible change in our interest expense on an annual basis.
23



We may also be exposed to credit risk in derivative contracts we may use.  Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract.  If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us.  If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk.  We have sought to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We conduct a small portion of our operations outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our non-U.S. operations are conducted primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies, and include the British pound, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar.  Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions denominated in a currency other than a non-U.S. operation’s functional currency. We recognized foreign currency transaction net (losses) gainslosses of $(0.1)$0.2 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018, respectively, and $(0.2) million and $0.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively, which are included in other (expense) income,expense, net on our condensed consolidated statements of income. We realized a net (loss) gain associated with foreign currency translation of $(0.7)$1.3 million and less than $0.1$0.3 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018, respectively, and $(0.4) million and $(1.4) million for the six months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Based on a sensitivity analysis at SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 would have impacted our net earnings by a negligible amount.  This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion relative to the U.S. dollar and that there are no indirect effects, such as changes in non-U.S. dollar sales volumes or prices.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The disclosure contained in Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report is incorporated by reference into this “Item 1. Legal Proceedings.” In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are from time to time named defendants in certain lawsuits incidental to our business, including product liability claims that are insured, subject to applicable deductibles, and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving us and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not currently expect the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, careful consideration should be given to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of our Annual Report, which contain descriptions of significant factors that may cause the actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.

There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report and subsequent SEC filings. The risks described in this Quarterly Report, our Annual Report and in our other SEC filings or press releases from time to time are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties are currently deemed immaterial based on management’s assessment of currently available information, which remains subject to change; however, new risks that are currently unknown to us may arise in the future that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
