Revenue Recognition

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Note 3 – Revenue Recognition We derive revenue from the sale of (i) hardware, including digital color label printers and specialty OEM printing systems, portable data acquisition systems and airborne printers and networking hardware used in the flight deck and cabin of military, commercial and business aircraft, (ii) related supplies required in the operation of the hardware, (iii) repairs and maintenance of hardware and (iv) service agreements. Revenues disaggregated by primary geographic markets and major product types are as follows: Primary geographical markets: Three Months Ended (In thousands) April 30, 2022 May 1, 2021 United States $ 19,651 $ 16,693 Europe 7,419 8,599 Canada 1,854 1,546 Asia 937 1,085 Central and South America 888 760 Other 261 395 Total Revenue $ 31,010 $ 29,078 Major product types: Three Months Ended (In thousands) April 30, 2022 May 1, 2021 Hardware $ 9,301 $ 7,647 Supplies 17,944 18,211 Service and Other 3,765 3,220 Total Revenue $ 31,010 $ 29,078 Contract Assets and Liabilities We normally do not have contract assets, which are primarily unbilled accounts receivable that are conditional on something other than the passage of time. Our contract liabilities, which represent billings in excess of revenue recognized, are related to advanced billings for purchased service agreements and extended warranties. Contract liabilities were $222,000 and $262,000 at April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022, respectively, and are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The decrease in the deferred revenue balance during the three months ended April 30, 2022 is primarily due to 116,000 of revenue recognized during the period that was included in the deferred revenue balance at January 31, 2022, which was partially offset by the cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations in the current period. Contract Costs We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that certain costs related to obtaining sales contracts for our aerospace printer products meet the requirement to be capitalized. These costs are deferred and amortized over the remaining useful life of these contracts, which we currently estimate to be approximate ly 19 years as of April 30, 2022. The balance of these contract assets at January 31, 2022 was $1.3 million, and in the first quarter of the current year, we incurred an additional $0.1 million in contract costs that will be amortized over 19 years. We amortized $7,000 of direct costs during the three months ended April 30, 2022. The balance of deferred incremental direct costs net of accumulated amortization at April 30, 2022 was $1.4 million, of which $0.1 million is reported in other current assets and $1.3 million is reported in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Common Share	Note 4 – Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and, if dilutive, common equivalent shares, determined using the treasury stock method for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share is as follows: Three Months Ended April 30, 2022 May 1, 2021 Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding – Basic 7,298,051 7,144,697 Effect of Dilutive Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units 97,713 120,632 Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding – Diluted 7,395,764 7,265,329 For the three months ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, the diluted per share amounts do not reflect common equivalent shares outstanding of 310,588 and 622,020, respectively, because of their anti-dilutive effect.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Credit Agreement and Long-Term Debt	Note 7 – Credit Agreement and Long-Term Debt On March 24, 2021, we entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) to our Amended & Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement,” as amended by the Amendment; the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as lender (the “Lender”), and our subsidiaries, ANI ApS and TrojanLabel. The A&R Credit Agreement, which we entered into on July, 30, 2020, amended and restated the Credit Agreement dated as of February 28, 2017 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) by and among us, ANI ApS, TrojanLabel and the Lender. Immediately prior to the closing of the Amendment, we repaid $2.6 million in principal amount of the term loan outstanding under the A&R Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for (i) a term loan in the principal amount of $10.0 million, and (ii) a $22.5 million revolving credit facility available for general corporate purposes. At the closing of the Amendment, we borrowed the entire $10.0 million term loan which was used to refinance, in full, the outstanding term loan under the A&R Credit Agreement. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, revolving credit loans may continue to be borrowed, at our option, in U.S. Dollars or, subject to certain conditions, Euros, British Pounds, Canadian Dollars or Danish Kroner. The Amended Credit Agreement requires that the term loan be paid in quarterly installments on the last day of each of our fiscal quarters with the final payment due on September 30, 2025. We may voluntarily prepay the term loan, in whole or in part, from time to time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs, if applicable). We may repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs, if applicable), but in any event no later than September 30, 2025, at which time any outstanding revolving loans will be due and payable in full, and the revolving credit facility will terminate. We may reduce or terminate the revolving line of credit at any time, subject to certain thresholds and conditions, without premium or penalty. The Amended Credit Agreement includes an uncommitted accordion provision under which the term loan and/or revolving credit facility commitments may be increased in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $10.0 million, subject to obtaining the agreement of the Lender and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. On December 14, 2021, we and the Lender entered into a LIBOR Transition Amendment (the “LIBOR Amendment”) with regard to the Amended Credit Agreement. The LIBOR Amendment, among other things, (i) changes the rate under the Amended Credit Agreement for borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars from a LIBOR-based rate to a BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index)-based rate, subject to certain adjustments, (ii) changes the rate under the Amended Credit Agreement for borrowings denominated in British Pounds Sterling from a LIBOR-based rate to a SONIA (Sterling Overnight Index Average)-based rate, subject to certain adjustments, (iii) changes the rate under the Amended Credit Agreement for borrowings denominated in Euros from a LIBOR-based rate to a EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate)-based rate, subject to certain adjustments, and (iv) updates certain other provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement regarding successor interest rates to LIBOR. The interest rates under the Amended Credit Agreement, giving effect to the LIBOR Amendment, are as follows: the term loan and revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) the BSBY Rate as defined in the LIBOR Amendment (or in the case of revolving credit loans denominated in a Pounds Sterling, Euros or another currency other than U.S. Dollars, the SONIA Rate as defined in the LIBOR Amendment, EURIOBOR Rate as defined in the LIBOR Amendment, or the applicable quoted rate, respectively), plus a margin that varies within a range of 1.60% to 2.30% based on our consolidated leverage ratio, or (b) a fluctuating reference rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal fund rate plus 0.50%, (ii) Bank of America’s publicly announced prime rate, (iii) the BSBY Rate, SONIA Rate, EURIBOR Rate or other applicable quoted rate plus 1.00% or (iv) 0.50%, plus a margin that varies within a range of 0.60% to 1.30% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. In addition to certain other fees and expenses that we are required to pay to the Lender, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility that varies within a range of 0.15% and 0.30% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. As under the A&R Credit Agreement, the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement are subject to certain mandatory prepayments, subject to various exceptions, from (a) net cash proceeds from certain dispositions of property, (b) net cash proceeds from certain issuances of equity, (c) net cash proceeds from certain issuances of additional debt and (d) net cash proceeds from certain extraordinary receipts. Amounts repaid under the revolving credit facility may be reborrowed, subject to continued compliance with the Amended Credit Agreement. No amount of the term loan that is repaid may be reborrowed. We must comply with various customary financial and non-financial non-financial The Lender is entitled to accelerate repayment of the loans and to terminate its revolving credit commitment under the Amended Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any of various customary events of default, which include, among other events, the following (which are subject, in some cases, to certain grace periods): failure to pay when due any principal, interest or other amounts in respect of the loans, breach of any of our covenants or representations under the loan documents, default under any other of our or our subsidiaries’ significant indebtedness agreements, a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event with respect to us or any of our subsidiaries, a significant unsatisfied judgment against us or any of our subsidiaries, or a change of control. Our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement continue to be secured by substantially all of our personal property assets (including a pledge of the equity interests held in ANI ApS, in our wholly-owned German subsidiary AstroNova GmbH, and in our wholly-owned French subsidiary AstroNova SAS), subject to certain exceptions, and by a mortgage on our owned real property in West Warwick, Rhode Island. Summary of Outstanding Debt During the first quarter of the current year, we borrowed $3.0 million on our revolving line of credit. The balance outstanding under the revolving line of credit bore interest at a weighted average annual rate of 4.26% and we incurred $23,000 for interest on this obligation during the quarter ended April 30, 2022. Additionally, during the quarter ended April 30, 2022, we incurred $10,000 of commitment fees on the undrawn portion of our revolving credit facility. Both the interest expense and commitment fees are included as interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statement for the quarter ended April 30, 2022. At April 30, 2022, there is $19.5 million remaining available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit.

Employee Retention Credit Disclosure [Abstract]
Employee Retention Credit	Note 8—Employee Retention Credit The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Securities Act (the “CARES Act”) provides for an employee retention credit (“ERC”) that is a refundable tax credit against certain employer taxes. On December 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, which amended and extended ERC availability under Section 2301 of the CARES Act. Before the enactment of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, we were ineligible for the ERC because we received a Paycheck Protection Program Loan. Following enactment of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, we and other businesses that received loans under that program became retroactively eligible for the ERC. As a result of the foregoing legislation, we were eligible to claim a refundable tax credit against the employer share of Social Security taxes equal to seventy percent (70%) of the qualified wages that we paid to our employees between December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021. Qualified wages are limited to $10,000 per employee per calendar quarter in 2021 for a maximum ERC per employee of $7,000 per calendar quarter in 2021. We evaluated our eligibility for the ERC in the second quarter of calendar year 2021. In order to qualify for the ERC, we needed to experience a 20 % reduction in gross receipts from either (1) the same quarter in calendar year 2019 or (2) the immediately preceding quarter to the corresponding calendar quarter in 2019. We determined that we qualified for the employee retention credit under the first scenario for wages paid in calendar year 2020 and the first calendar quarter of 2021. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we amended certain payroll tax filings and applied for a refund of for-profit We recorded a $3.1 million receivable in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 for the ERC receivable. This amount was received on March 22, 2022.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management	Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management In 2017, we entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap to manage the interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk associated with the floating-rate foreign currency-denominated term loan borrowing by our Danish Subsidiary and an interest rate swap to manage the interest rate risk associated with our variable rate term loan borrowing. Both swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of floating-rate borrowings. Our cross-currency interest rate swap agreement effectively modified our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk by converting our floating-rate debt denominated in U.S. Dollars on our Danish subsidiary’s books to a fixed-rate debt denominated in Danish Kroner for the term of the loan, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate and foreign currency exchange rate changes on future interest expense and principal repayments. This swap involved the receipt of floating rate amounts in U.S. Dollars in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments in Danish Kroner, as well as exchanges of principal at the inception spot rate, over the life of the term loan. The interest rate swap agreement effectively modified our exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting our floating-rate term-loan debt to fixed-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense. This swap involved the receipt of floating rate amounts in U.S. Dollars in exchange for fixed rate payments in U.S. dollars over the life of the term loan. As a direct result of the terms of the Lender’s conditions for entry into the A&R Credit Agreement, on July 30, 2020, we terminated these two swaps. The terms of the A&R Credit Agreement caused those swaps to cease to be effective hedges of the underlying exposures. The termination of the swaps was contracted immediately prior to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021 at a cash cost of approximately $0.7 million which was settled in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Upon termination, the remaining balance of $58,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the cross-currency interest rate swap was reclassified into earnings as the forecasted foreign currency interest payments will not occur and the $0.2 million balance remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the interest rate swap is being amortized into earnings through the original term of the hedge relationship as the underlying floating interest rate debt still exists. The following table presents the impact of our derivative instruments in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021: Three Months Ended Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivative Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income Cash Flow Hedge (In thousands) April 30, 2022 May 1, 2021 April 30, 2022 May 1, 2021 Swap contracts $ — $ — Other Expense $ (20 ) $ (20 ) At April 30, 2022, we expect to reclassify approximately $39,000 of net losses on the frozen OCI balance associated with the terminated interest rate swap from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings during the next 12 months due to the payment of variable interest associated with
