NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(UNAUDITED)
| A. | Basis of Presentation |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Twin Disc, Incorporated (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of the Company, include adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair statement of results for each period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form
The Company's reporting period ends on the last Friday of the quarterly calendar period. The Company's fiscal year ends on June 30, regardless of the day of the week on which June 30 falls.
Change in Accounting Method
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company changed its accounting method related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for the Company’s pension and postretirement benefit plans (the “Accounting change”). Prior to the Accounting change, actuarial gains and losses were recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon annual remeasurement and were amortized into earnings in future periods when they exceeded the accounting corridor, a defined range within which amortization of net gains and losses is not required. Under the Accounting change, the accounting corridor of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and plan assets was modified to add full, immediate recognition above a second 20% threshold. Although the decision to make the Accounting change occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the actual accounting method change was applied to all calculations for fiscal year end 2023, and retroactively applied to all other amounts presented in this Form 10-Q.
Under the new accounting method, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in net periodic benefit cost through a modified mark-to-market (expense) benefit upon annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events warrant remeasurement. The method for recognizing prior service credits (charges) as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into earnings in future periods is not changing. With respect to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, while the historical principle was acceptable, the Company believes the Accounting change is preferable as it better aligns with fair value principles by recognizing the effects of economic and interest rate changes in plan assets and liabilities in the year in which the gains and losses are incurred to the degree such accumulated gains and losses exceed the new 20% threshold in addition to amortizing the amounts between the 10% and 20% thresholds over time. The Accounting change has been applied retrospectively to prior years and amounts presented. As of July 1, 2022, the cumulative effect of the change resulted in $
See Notes G, K, M and P for further information regarding the impact of the Accounting change on the Company’s current and prior consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued guidance (ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, respectively), intended to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments in this guidance are effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance (ASU 2016-13) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-10 (collectively ASC 326). ASC 326 requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model and requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. The amendments in this guidance are effective for filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 (the Company’s fiscal 2024), with early adoption permitted for certain amendments. ASC 326 must be adopted by applying a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Special Note Regarding Smaller Reporting Company Status
Under SEC Release 33-10513; 34-83550, Amendments to Smaller Reporting Company Definition, the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and accordingly, it has scaled some of its disclosures of financial and non-financial information in this quarterly report. The Company will continue to determine whether to provide additional scaled disclosures of financial or non-financial information in future quarterly reports, annual reports and/or proxy statements if it remains a smaller reporting company under SEC rules.

| C. |
Warranty |
The Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its suppliers. However, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, the number of units affected by the failure and the expense involved in satisfactorily addressing the situation. The warranty reserve is established based on our best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. When evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for warranty costs, management takes into consideration the term of the warranty coverage, historical claim rates and costs of repair, knowledge of the type and volume of new products and economic trends. While we believe the warranty reserve is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, such amounts estimated to be due and payable in the future could differ materially from what actually transpires. The following is a listing of the activity in the warranty reserve for the quarters ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022:

Contingencies |
The Company is involved in litigation of which the ultimate outcome and liability to the Company, if any, is not presently determinable. Management believes that final disposition of such litigation will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
| E. |
Business Segments |
The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the manufacture and sale of marine and heavy-duty off-highway power transmission equipment. Principal products include marine transmissions, azimuth drives, surface drives, propellers and boat management systems, as well as power-shift transmissions, hydraulic torque converters, power take-offs, industrial clutches and controls systems. The Company sells to both domestic and foreign customers in a variety of market areas, principally pleasure craft, commercial and military marine markets, as well as in the energy and natural resources, government and industrial markets. The Company's worldwide sales to both domestic and foreign customers are transacted through a direct sales force and a distributor network.
The Company has reportable segments: manufacturing and distribution. These segment structures reflect the way management makes operating decisions and manages the growth and profitability of the business. It also corresponds with management’s approach of allocating resources and assessing the performance of its segments. The accounting practices of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Transfers among segments are at established inter-company selling prices. Management evaluates the performance of its segments based on net income.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans |
The Company has non-contributory, qualified defined benefit plans covering substantially all domestic employees hired prior to October 1, 2003 and certain foreign employees. Additionally, the Company provides healthcare and life insurance benefits for certain domestic retirees.
As discussed in Note A, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company changed its accounting method related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for its pension and postretirement benefit plans. Under the new method, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in net periodic benefit costs upon annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events warrant remeasurement. These changes have been applied retrospectively to prior years presented below. See Notes A, K, M, and P for further information regarding the impact of the change in accounting principle on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The components of the net periodic benefit cost for the defined benefit pension plans and the other postretirement benefit plan are as follows:

| H. | Income Taxes |
Accounting policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate (AETR). Under this effective tax rate methodology, the Company applies an estimated annual income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter. To calculate its AETR, an entity must estimate its ordinary income or loss and the related tax expense or benefit for its full fiscal year. In situations in which an entity is in a loss position and recognizes a full valuation allowance, the guidance in ASC 740-270-25-9 applies. Due to continued historical domestic losses and uncertain future domestic earnings, the Company continues to recognize a full domestic valuation allowance. Permanent differences continue to fluctuate and are significant compared to projected ordinary income. Therefore, per ASC guidance, the fully valued domestic entity was removed from the annualized effective rate calculation. Because of the full US valuation allowance, the US entity may only recognize tax expense / benefit recorded for ASC 740-10 adjustments.
For the three months ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022 the Company’s effective income tax rate was (
The Company maintains valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is required, the Company takes into account such factors as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset. In addition, all other available positive and negative evidence is taken into consideration, including all new impacts of tax reform. The Company has evaluated the realizability of the net deferred tax assets related to its foreign operations and based on this evaluation management has concluded that no valuation allowances are required.
The Company has approximately $
Annually, the Company files income tax returns in various taxing jurisdictions inside and outside the United States. In general, the tax years that remain subject to examination in foreign jurisdictions are through 2023. The tax year open to exam in the Netherlands is The tax years open to examination in the U.S. are for years subsequent to fiscal 2018. It is reasonably possible that other audit cycles will be completed during fiscal 2024.

Credit Agreement Debt: On June 29, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO”) that provided for the assignment and assumption of the previously existing loans between the Company and Bank of Montreal (the “2016 Credit Agreement”) and subsequent amendments into a term loan (the “Term Loan”) and revolving credit loans (each a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans,” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, BMO agreed to make the Term Loan to the Company in a principal amount not to exceed $
Under the Credit Agreement as amended, interest rates are based on either the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”). Loans are designated either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin, or “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin. Amounts drawn on a Letter of Credit that are not timely reimbursed to the Bank bear interest at a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Company also pays a commitment fee on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment equal to an Applicable Margin. Currently, the Applicable Margins are between
The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants. Specifically, the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio may not exceed
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. The Company has also pledged
The Company has also entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with the Bank, reflecting the Bank’s security interest in deposit accounts the Company maintains with the Bank. The Bank may not provide a notice of exclusive control of a deposit account (thereby obtaining exclusive control of the account) prior to the occurrence or existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or otherwise upon the occurrence or existence of an event or condition that would, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, BMO may take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate its remaining obligations under the Credit Agreement; (2) declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; and (3) demand the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations in an amount equal to

| L. | Assets Held for Sale |
To improve its fixed cost structure and monetize some of its under-utilized assets, the Company commenced the active marketing of several of its real estate properties. Such actions required the Company to reclassify these assets from Property, Plant and Equipment to Assets Held for Sale, at fair value less costs to sell, or net book value, whichever is lower. Fair value was determined using real estate broker estimates and would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain machinery assets, inventory, and legal relationships of its boat management systems product line. This action required the Company to reclassify these assets from Property, Plant and Equipment and Inventory to Assets Held for Sale, at fair value less costs to sell, or net book value, whichever is lower. The fair value of the machinery assets was determined using local internal specialists. The machinery assets’ fair value less costs to sell exceeded its net book value. The boat management systems inventory was valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value was determined using the offer amount from the buyer less costs to sell. This assessment resulted in the Company recognizing a write-down of the carrying value of its boat management systems inventory of million. The write-down was classified in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive loss as a component of cost of goods sold. The agreement closed October 30, 2023.

Earnings Per Share |
The Company calculates basic earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, while the calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes all potential common shares if their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. Certain restricted stock award recipients have a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends declared by the Company and are therefore included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.
As discussed in Note A, during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company changed its accounting method related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses for its pension plans. Under the new method, actuarial gains and losses are recognized in net periodic benefit costs upon annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events warrant remeasurement. These changes have been applied retrospectively to prior years. See Notes A, G, K, and P for further information regarding the impact of the change in accounting principle on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

Derivative Financial Instruments |
From time to time, the Company enters into derivative instruments to manage volatility arising from risks relating to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company’s practice is to terminate derivative transactions if the underlying asset or liability matures or is sold or terminated, or if it determines the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring.
The Company reports all derivative instruments on its condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of transactions entered into for hedging purposes.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
The Company has
The primary purpose of the Company’s cash flow hedging activities is to manage the potential changes in value associated with interest payments on the Company’s SOFR-based indebtedness. The Company records gains and losses on interest rate swap contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent that these hedges are effective and until the Company recognizes the underlying transactions in net earnings, at which time these gains and losses are recognized in interest expense on its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from financing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. These contracts generally have original maturities of greater than twelve months.

Management Discussion and Analysis |
In the financial review that follows, we discuss our results of operations, financial condition and certain other information. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements as of September 29, 2023, and related notes, as reported in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include the Company’s description of plans and objectives for future operations and assumptions behind those plans. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” and “expects,” or similar anticipatory expressions, usually identify forward-looking statements. In addition, goals established by the Company should not be viewed as guarantees or promises of future performance. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.
In addition to the assumptions and information referred to specifically in the forward-looking statements, other factors, including but not limited to those factors discussed under Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for June 30, 2023, as supplemented in this Quarterly Report, could cause actual results to be materially different from what is expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.

Comparison of the First Quarter of Fiscal 2024 with the First Quarter of Fiscal 2023
Net sales for the first quarter increased 13.7%, or $7.7 million, to $63.6 million from $55.9 million in the same quarter a year ago. The Company has benefited from favorable market conditions across most geographies and product groups through fiscal 2023 and into fiscal 2024. With the easing of global supply chain disruptions, the Company has been able to improve delivery performance. Global sales of marine and propulsion products improved 24.3% from the prior year, while shipments of off-highway transmission products improved by 16.6%. Shipments of industrial products declined by 19.1%, with a slow-down in the domestic housing and construction markets. The Asia Pacific region enjoyed the most significant sales improvement ($7.3 million or 58.9%) due to improved shipments of oil and gas transmissions into China, an improved demand for commercial marine products and continued strength in pleasure craft demand in Australia. The European region also saw a significant increase ($6.0 million or 38.5%), with improved operational performance at our facilities in Belgium and the Netherlands. Sales into North America decreased 17.1%, or $3.9 million, primarily due to some softening in aftermarket demand in the oil and gas market. Currency translation had a favorable impact on first quarter fiscal 2024 sales compared to the first quarter of the prior year totaling $2.2 million primarily due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.
Sales at our manufacturing segment increased 11.3%, or $5.5 million, versus the same quarter last year. The U.S. manufacturing operations experienced an 8.2%, or $2.5 million, decrease in sales versus the first fiscal quarter of 2023, with some softening aftermarket demand in the North American energy market and weaker industrial demand related to the North American housing and construction markets. The Company’s operation in the Netherlands saw increased revenue of $7.6 million (102.1%) compared to the first fiscal quarter of 2023, primarily due to a record level of incoming orders over the past few quarters, along with a favorable currency impact and improved operational and supply chain performance. Similarly, the Company’s Belgian operation saw an increase compared to the prior year first quarter (25.2% or $1.1 million), with a favorable translation effect and improved delivery performance driven by operational and supply chain execution. The Company’s Italian manufacturing operations were down $0.7 million (11.8%) compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023, with some softening in demand for industrial products in Europe. The Company’s Swiss manufacturing operation, which supplies customized propellers for the global mega yacht and patrol boat markets, was up $0.1 million (1.9%) compared to the prior year first quarter.
Our distribution segment experienced an increase in sales of $8.5 million (35.1%) in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company’s Asian distribution operations in Singapore, China and Japan were up 113.2% or $9.7 million from the prior year on improving deliveries for energy related products in China. The Company’s North America distribution operation saw a small decrease ($0.5 million or 8.61%) on timing of supply of product from the manufacturing operations. The Company’s European distribution operation saw a slight increase ($0.5 million or 13.3%) on a favorable currency impact and improved supply of product. The Company’s distribution operation in Australia, which provides boat accessories, propulsion and marine transmission systems for the pleasure craft market, saw a decline in revenue (16.6% decrease from the prior year first fiscal quarter), primarily due to timing of shipments and an unfavorable currency impact.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 improved to 26.2%, compared to 23.8% for the same period last year. The current year first quarter result reflects the unfavorable impact of the write down of inventory associated with the sale of the assets related to the Company’s boat management systems product line, which resulted in a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold totaling $3.1 million. Adjusting for these non-recurring items, the current year gross profit percent would have been 31.1%. The improvement in the current year first quarter compared to the prior year result reflects the impact of additional volume and strong North American oil and gas demand, partially offset by the negative impact of inflation, primarily at our European operations.
For the fiscal 2024 first quarter, marketing, engineering and administrative (“ME&A”) expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 26.6%, compared to 27.0% for the fiscal 2023 first quarter. ME&A expenses increased $1.8 million (12.2%) versus the same period last fiscal year. The increase in ME&A spending for the quarter was comprised of higher wages and benefits ($0.7 million), professional fees ($0.3 million), travel costs ($0.3 million), software maintenance ($0.2 million) product development ($0.1 million) and a positive currency translation impact ($0.2 million). These increases were driven by inflationary impacts and investment in resources to support our hybrid electric strategy.
The Company incurred minor restructuring charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, primarily associated with ongoing cost reduction actions at its European operations and actions to adjust the cost structure at the Company’s domestic operation. The Company continues to focus on actively managing its cost structure and reducing fixed costs in light of the ongoing market challenges.
Interest expense was down slightly to $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, with a lower average outstanding revolver balance partially offset by a higher interest rate.
Other income of $0.1 million for the first fiscal quarter was primarily attributable to a pension benefit partially offset by a small currency loss.
The fiscal 2024 first quarter effective tax rate was (101.7)% compared to 26.3% in the prior fiscal year first quarter. The full domestic valuation allowance, along with the mix of foreign earnings by jurisdiction, resulted in the increase to the effective tax rate.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Comparison between September 29, 2023 and June 30, 2023
As of September 29, 2023, the Company had net working capital of $117.0 million, which represents a decrease of $2.6 million, or 2.2%, from the net working capital of $119.6 million as of June 30, 2023.
Cash increased by $7.2 million to $20.4 million as of September 29, 2023, versus $13.3 million as of June 30, 2023. As of September 29, 2023, the majority of the cash is at the Company’s overseas operations in Europe ($4.2 million) and Asia-Pacific ($16.0 million).
Trade receivables of $39.8 million were down $15.0 million, or 27.4%, when compared to last fiscal year-end. The impact of foreign currency translation was to decrease accounts receivable by $0.7 million versus June 30, 2023. As a percent of sales, trade receivables finished at 62.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 71.6% for the comparable period in fiscal 2022 and 65.2% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.
Inventories decreased by $5.7 million, or 4.3%, versus June 30, 2023 to $126.2 million. The impact of foreign currency translation was to decrease inventories by $2.4 million versus June 30, 2023. The remaining decrease was a function of the sale of the assets related to the Company’s boat management systems product line ($3.7 million) and a significant reduction at the Company’s Singapore distribution operation ($2.0 million) due to increased shipments of oil and gas transmissions into China. These decreases were partially offset by temporary increases at the Company’s operations in the Netherlands and Australia. On a consolidated basis, as of September 29, 2023, the Company’s backlog of orders to be shipped over the next six months approximates $122.5 million, compared to $119.2 million at June 30, 2023 and $108.9 million at September 30, 2022. As a percentage of six-month backlog, inventory has decreased from 111% at June 30, 2023 to 103% at September 29, 2023.
Net property, plant and equipment increased $0.4 million (0.7%) to $52.2 million versus $51.8 million at June 30, 2023. The Company had capital spending of $3.7 million in the quarter and new lease obligations of $0.6 million. These increases were offset by depreciation ($1.7 million) and an unfavorable exchange impact. Capital spending occurring in the first quarter was primarily related to replacement capital. In total, the Company expects to invest between $9 and $11 million in capital assets in fiscal 2024. The Company continues to review its capital plans based on overall market conditions and availability of capital, and may make changes to its capital plans accordingly. The Company’s capital program is focused on modernizing key core manufacturing, assembly and testing processes and improving efficiencies at its facilities around the world.
Accounts payable as of September 29, 2023 of $29.6 million was down $6.9 million, or 18.9%, from June 30, 2023. The impact of foreign currency translation was to reduce accounts payable by $0.7 million versus June 30, 2023. The remaining decrease is primarily related to the reduced purchasing activities in light of stable demand and inventory reduction efforts.
Total borrowings and long-term debt as of September 29, 2023 increased $3.0 million to $21.7 million versus $18.6 million at June 30, 2023. During the first quarter, the Company reported positive free cash flow of $6.1 million (defined as operating cash flow less acquisitions of fixed assets), driven by positive operating results and working capital performance, partially offset by the payment of a bonus accrual and capital spending. The Company ended the quarter with total debt, net of cash, of $1.2 million, compared to $5.4 million at June 30, 2023, for a net improvement of $4.2 million.
Total equity decreased $5.5 million, or 3.8%, to $139.6 million as of September 29, 2023. The net loss during the first quarter decreased equity by $1.1 million, along with an unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3.0 million. The net change in common stock and treasury stock resulting from the accounting for stock-based compensation decreased equity by $1.3 million. The net remaining decrease in equity of $0.1 million primarily represents the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost on the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, along with the unrealized gain on cash flow hedges.
On June 29, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO”) that provided for the assignment and assumption of the previously existing loans between the Company and Bank of Montreal (the “2016 Credit Agreement”) and subsequent amendments into a term loan (the “Term Loan”) and revolving credit loans (each a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans,” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, BMO agreed to make the Term Loan to the Company in a principal amount not to exceed $35.0 million and the Company may, from time to time prior to the maturity date, enter into Revolving Loans in amounts not to exceed, in the aggregate, $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”), subject to a Borrowing Base based on Eligible Inventory and Eligible Receivables. Subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement reduced the Term Loan to $20.0 million, extended the maturity date of the Term Loan to March 4, 2026, and require the Company to make principal installment payments on the Term Loan of $0.5 million per quarter. In addition, under subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement, BMO’s Revolving Credit Commitment is currently $40.0 million. The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to obtain Letters of Credit from BMO, which if drawn upon by the beneficiary thereof and paid by BMO, would become Revolving Loans. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may not pay cash dividends on its common stock in excess of $3.0 million in any fiscal year. The term of the Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement currently runs through June 30, 2025.
Under the Credit Agreement as amended, interest rates are based on either the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”). Loans are designated either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin, or “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin. Amounts drawn on a Letter of Credit that are not timely reimbursed to the Bank bear interest at a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Company also pays a commitment fee on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment equal to an Applicable Margin. Currently, the Applicable Margins are between 1.25% and 2.75% for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit; 1.375% and 2.875% for Term Loans; and .10% and .15% for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio).
The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants. Specifically, the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio may not exceed 3.50 to 1.00, and the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. The Company’s Tangible Net Worth may not be less than $100 million plus 50% of positive Net Income for each fiscal year ending on or after June 30, 2023.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. The Company has also pledged 100% of its equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries and 65% of its equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company also entered into a Collateral Assignment of Rights under Purchase Agreement for its acquisition of Veth Propulsion. To effect these security interests, the Company entered into various amendment and assignment agreements that consent to the assignment of certain agreements previously entered into between the Company and the Bank of Montreal in connection with the 2016 Credit Agreement. The Company also amended and assigned to BMO a Negative Pledge Agreement that it has previously entered into with Bank of Montreal, pursuant to which it agreed not to sell, lease or otherwise encumber real estate that it owns except as permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Negative Pledge Agreement.
The Company has also entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with the Bank, reflecting the Bank’s security interest in deposit accounts the Company maintains with the Bank. The Bank may not provide a notice of exclusive control of a deposit account (thereby obtaining exclusive control of the account) prior to the occurrence or existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or otherwise upon the occurrence or existence of an event or condition that would, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, BMO may take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate its remaining obligations under the Credit Agreement; (2) declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; and (3) demand the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate L/C Obligations or a greater amount if BMO determines a greater amount is necessary. If such Event of Default is due to the Company’s bankruptcy, the Bank may take the three actions listed above without notice to the Company.
