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 10-K for June 30, 2024. The prior year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and information presented herein include the financial results of Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (“Kobelt”). On February 14, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of
The condensed consolidated financial statements and information presented herein include the financial results of Katsa Oy (“Katsa”). On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Twin Disc, Incorporated and its wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our investment in Twin Disc Nico LTD., which is
Certain prior year immaterial amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. The changes did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in any of the periods presented.
Recently Issued Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”) to expand expense disclosures by requiring disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expense line items, including those that contain purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, or the Company’s fiscal 2028, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statement disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and contain other disclosure requirements. The Company expects to adopt the new annual disclosures as required for fiscal 2025 and the interim disclosures as required beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which includes requirements that an entity disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that are greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income rate. The standard also requires that entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statement disclosures.
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.

Kobelt brings a complementary range of products that enhance and diversify the Company's portfolio, reinforcing Twin Disc’s position as a global leader in power transmission solutions. Kobelt's in-house foundry and expertise in bronze die casting, precision machining, assembly and testing ensure complete quality control, which aligns perfectly with the Company's commitment to engineering excellence.
With over 60 years of experience designing and manufacturing high-quality products, Kobelt is a well-suited addition to the Twin Disc family. This acquisition opens new opportunities for growth and partnerships, leveraging the Company's global sales and service teams to drive even greater success.
Since the acquisition date, the Company included in its condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) net sales and earnings for Kobelt of $

Fair Value Estimate of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
The Company is continuing its review of the fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period, which will conclude as soon as the necessary information regarding the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date is obtained, or otherwise not available. This measurement period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. At the effective date of the acquisition, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are required to be measured at fair value. The fair value estimates are pending completion of some elements, including the finalization of an independent appraisal and final review by the Company. Accordingly, until the fair values are final, there could be material adjustments to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including changes to depreciation and amortization expense related to the valuation of property and equipment and intangible assets acquired and their respective useful lives, among other adjustments.
Upon the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the excess of the purchase price over such fair values is allocated to goodwill.
The final determination of the purchase price, fair values and resulting goodwill may differ significantly from what is reflected in these consolidated financial statements.
The following summarizes the preliminary estimate of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
| Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: | |||||
| Cash | $ | ||||
| Trade accounts receivable | (a) | ||||
| Inventories | (b) | ||||

| Total identified net assets acquired: | |||||
| Goodwill | (f) | ||||
| Purchase price consideration | $ | ||||
The following information provides further details about the preliminary estimated net step-up in fair value and/or the estimated fair value at the acquisition date for some key balance sheet items.
(a) Accounts receivable represent contractual amounts receivable from customers. The amounts approximate fair value.

| D. |
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 March 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024:

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.
| F. |
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 earnings.
Information about the Company’s segments is summarized as follows:

| G. | Stock-Based Compensation |
In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company adopted the Twin Disc, Incorporated Amended and Restated 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders. The Omnibus Plan amended and restated the Twin Disc, Incorporated 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 LTI Plan”), and effectively replaced the Twin Disc, Incorporated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2020 Directors' Plan”). Benefits under the Omnibus Plan may be granted, awarded or paid in any one or a combination of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, cash-settled restricted stock units, performance stock awards, performance stock unit awards, performance unit awards, and dividend equivalent awards. The Omnibus Plan is designed to benefit key employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as non-employee directors of the Company.

| I. | 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 U.S. valuation allowance, the U.S. entity may only recognize tax expense (benefit) recorded for ASC 740-10 adjustments.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred net of the acquisition-date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on a reporting unit basis annually as of the end of the fiscal year, and whenever events or circumstances (“triggering events”) indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company monitors for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis. Such triggering events include unfavorable operating results and macroeconomic trends.
The fair value of reporting units is primarily driven by projected growth rates and operating results under the income approach using a discounted cash flow model, which applies an appropriate market-participant discount rate, and consideration of other market approach data from guideline public companies. If declining actual operating results or future operating results become indicative that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units has declined below their carrying values, an interim goodwill impairment test may need to be performed and may result in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge.
On February 14, 2025, as discussed in Note B, the Company acquired goodwill in the estimated amount of $
As of March 28, 2025, changes in the carrying amount of goodwill is summarized as follows:

For the quarter ended March 28. 2025, the Company performed a review of potential triggering events, and concluded there were no triggering events that indicated that the fair value of its reporting units had not more likely than not declined to below their carrying values at March 28, 2025. The Company will perform an annual impairment test for its new and stand-alone reporting unit, Kobelt, as of June 30, 2025.

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
On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 10 to Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”) that amended and extended the Credit Agreement. The Tenth Amendment increased the Revolving Credit Commitment from $
The Company used the increased borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement to help finance its acquisition of Katsa by TD Finland Holding Oy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Tenth Amendment specifically permitted the Company to use Revolving Loans for the Katsa acquisition. In addition, in determining whether the Company is in compliance with its Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio, the Company’s EBITDA will include transaction expenses of up to $
The Tenth Amendment also extended the Credit Agreement through April 1, 2027 and extended the maturity date of the Term Loan and the Term Loan Commitment Date to April 1, 2027.
The Tenth Amendment also increased the Applicable Margins under the Credit Agreement for purposes of determining interest rates on Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, Term Loans, and the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment. Prior to the Tenth Amendment, the Applicable Margins were between
The Tenth Amendment also increased the amount of Restricted Payments that the Company may make in the form of cash dividends, distributions, purchases, redemptions, or other acquisitions of its common stock from $
On February 14, 2025, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Agreement”) with Bank of Montreal (the “Bank”) that refinances and replaces the credit agreement dated as of June 29, 2018, as amended between the Company and BMO.
Pursuant to the New Agreement, the Bank made a Term Loan to the Company in the principal amount of $
In addition, the Company may, from time to time prior to the maturity date, enter into Revolving Loans in amounts not to exceed, in the aggregate and subject to a Borrowing Base, $
The Company used the increased borrowing capacity under the New Agreement to help finance its acquisition of Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (“Kobelt”), as described elsewhere in this current report. Kobelt is included as a Borrower under the New Agreement, and may borrow directly under the New Agreement up to the lesser of the Revolving Credit Commitment or $
Interest rates under the New Agreement are based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”), or the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (the “CORRA”). Loans under the New Agreement are designated as either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin; “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin; “Term CORRA Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term CORRA plus an Applicable Margin; “Daily Compounded CORRA Loans,” which accrue interest at a Daily Compounded CORRA plus an Applicable Margin; or Canadian Prime Rate Loans,” which accrue interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margins are between
Borrowings under the New Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s, including Kobelt’s, personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. The Company has also pledged
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate its remaining obligations under the New Agreement; (2) declare all amounts outstanding under the New Agreement to be immediately due and payable; and (3) demand the Company to immediately Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations in an amount equal to

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company designated its euro denominated Revolving Loan as a net investment hedge to mitigate the risk of variability in its euro denominated net investments in wholly-owned foreign companies. Effective upon the designation, all changes in the fair value of the euro revolver are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss along with the foreign currency translation adjustments on those foreign investments. This net investment hedge is included in the disclosures in Note P, Derivative Financial Instruments.

Restructuring of Operations |
Restructuring expenses
The Company has implemented various restructuring programs in response to unfavorable macroeconomic trends in certain of the Company’s markets since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. These programs primarily involved the reduction of workforce in several of the Company’s manufacturing locations, under a combination of voluntary and involuntary programs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company undertook a series of steps to accelerate its focus on its core competencies, improve its fixed cost structure, and monetize some of its under-utilized assets.
The Company continued its restructuring plans with regard to its Belgian operations during fiscal year 2025 and 2024. A voluntary program was implemented to reduce the workforce. The action was taken to allow the Belgian operation to focus resources on core manufacturing processes, while allowing for savings on the outsourcing of non-core processes.
Total restructuring charges relating to streamlining operations totaled $

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.
The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

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 outstanding interest rate swap contract as of March 28, 2025, with a notional amount of $
The primary purpose of the Company’s cash flow hedging activities is to manage the potential changes in value associated with interest payments on the Company’s SOFR-based indebtedness. The Company records gains and losses on interest rate swap contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent that these hedges are effective and until the Company recognizes the underlying transactions in net earnings, at which time these gains and losses are recognized in interest expense on its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). 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.

Derivatives Designated as Net Investment Hedges
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to its investment in net assets in foreign countries. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company designated its euro denominated Revolving Loan, with a notional amount of as a net investment hedge to mitigate the risk of variability in its euro denominated net investments in wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. All changes in the fair value of the euro revolver were then recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss along with the foreign currency translation adjustments on those foreign investments.

Comparison of the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2025 with the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2024
Net sales for the third quarter increased 9.5%, or $7.1 million, to $81.2 million from $74.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. The acquisition of Katsa Oy, completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, contributed $7.1 million of additional revenue in the quarter. In addition, the acquisition of Kobelt, completed in the current quarter, contributed $1.2 million of additional revenue. The remaining decrease of $1.2 million primarily reflects weaker demand for oil and gas transmissions in China, along with some softening in North American commercial marine activity, partially offset by continued growth in demand for the company’s Veth propulsion systems. Global sales of marine and propulsion products improved 9.0% from the prior year, while shipments of industrial products improved by 56.2%. Shipments of off-highway transmission products declined by 6.9%, with reduced Chinese demand for oil and gas transmissions. The European region saw a significant increase in revenue ($9.1 million or 35.8%) thanks primarily to the acquisition of Katsa and continued growth of the Veth product line. Sales into North America and Asia were essentially flat with the prior period quarter. Currency translation had an unfavorable impact on third quarter fiscal 2025 sales compared to the third quarter of the prior year totaling $2.5 million primarily due to the strengthening of the US dollar against the euro, Singapore dollar and Australian dollar.
Sales at our manufacturing segment increased 12.8%, or $8.2 million, versus the same quarter last year. The Company’s recent acquisition, Katsa Oy, in Finland contributed $7.1 million of incremental revenue. The acquisition of Kobelt within the quarter contributed $1.2 million of incremental revenue. The U.S. manufacturing operations were essentially flat, showing a 1.2% decline from the prior third quarter, with consistent demand for airport rescue and firefighting (“ARFF”), marine and industrial products. The Company’s operation in the Netherlands saw increased revenue of $3.4 million (17.4%) compared to the third fiscal quarter of 2024, as this operation continues to experience record demand for its propulsion systems. The Company’s Belgian operation saw a decrease compared to the prior year third quarter (27.9% or $2.2 million), with weaker demand for its marine transmission products. The Company’s Italian manufacturing operations were down $0.8 million (14.4%) compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024, due to weaker demand for industrial and commercial marine products in the region. The Company’s Swiss manufacturing operation, which supplies customized propellers for the global mega yacht and patrol boat markets, was down $0.1 million (9.7%) compared to the prior year third quarter.
Our distribution segment experienced a decrease in sales of $5.3 million (14.9%) in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company’s Asian distribution operations in Singapore, China and Japan were down 8.9% or $1.2 million from the prior year on reduced Chinese demand for oil and gas transmissions. The Company’s North America distribution operation also saw a decrease ($3.9 million or 43.4%) on some softening in North American demand for commercial marine products. The Company’s European distribution operation saw a decline ($0.6 million or 8.2%) on a weaker shipments of commercial marine projects. The Company’s distribution operation in Australia and New Zealand, which provides boat accessories, propulsion and marine transmission systems for the pleasure craft market, saw an increase in revenue of 5.9% from the prior year third fiscal quarter), primarily due to improved pleasure craft demand.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 declined to 26.7%, compared to 28.2% for the same period last year. The shortfall to the prior year gross profit percentage is attributed primarily to a less favorable product mix, along with purchase accounting amortization related to Katsa and Kobelt.
For the fiscal 2025 third quarter, marketing, engineering and administrative (“ME&A”) expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 24.0%, compared to 23.2% for the fiscal 2024 third quarter. ME&A expenses increased $2.3 million (13.2%) over the same period last fiscal year. The increase in ME&A spending for the quarter was comprised of the addition of Katsa and Kobelt ($1.7 million), an inflationary increase to wages ($0.6 million) and an increase in professional fees ($0.5 million). These increases were offset by a decrease in global bonus expense ($0.1 million), telephone expense ($0.1 million) and the impact of currency translation ($0.4 million).
Interest expense was up $0.4 million to $0.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, with a higher average outstanding revolver balance following the Katsa and Kobelt acquisitions.
Other expense (benefit) of $1.6 million for the third fiscal quarter was primarily attributable to a currency loss ($1.3 million) resulting from the weakening of the US dollar against the euro, along with pension amortization expense ($0.2 million).
The fiscal 2025 third quarter effective tax rate was (407.9%) compared to 9.3% in the prior fiscal year third quarter. The full domestic valuation allowance, along with the mix of foreign earnings by jurisdiction, resulted in the change to the effective tax rate, which becomes very volatile when pre-tax results are very close to breakeven.
Comparison of the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2025 with the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2024
Net sales for the first nine months increased 15.8%, or $33.4 million, to $244.1 million from $210.7 million in the same period a year ago. The acquisition of Katsa Oy, completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, contributed $26.3 million of additional revenue in the first nine months, while the recently announced acquisition of Kobelt contributed $1.2 million. This was partially offset by the sale of the boat management system product line in the prior year, reducing revenue by $2.6 million in the period. The remaining increase of $8.5 million primarily reflects continued growth in demand for the company’s Veth propulsion systems, along with improved shipments of the Company’s products for the ARFF market. Global sales of marine and propulsion products improved 16.1% from the prior year, driven by strong demand for the Veth product. Shipments of industrial products improved by 53.7%, driven by the addition of Katsa. Shipments of off-highway transmission products improved by just 1.0%, with improving ARFF shipments being offset by weaker Chinese demand for oil and gas transmissions. The European region saw a significant increase in revenue ($28.7 million or 39.6%) thanks primarily to the acquisition of Katsa and continued growth of the Veth product. Sales into North America increased 2.4%, or $1.5 million, on improved industrial and commercial marine shipments in the first half of the fiscal year. The Asia Pacific region decreased 4.7%, or $2.7 million, on weaker demand for oilfield transmissions into China in the first fiscal quarter. Currency translation had an unfavorable impact on the first nine months of fiscal 2025 sales compared to the comparable period of the prior year totaling $1.5 million primarily due to the weakening of the euro, Singapore dollar and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.
Sales at our manufacturing segment increased 18.4%, or $33.1 million, versus the same period last year. The Company’s new acquisition, Katsa Oy, in Finland contributed $26.3 million of incremental revenue, while the recently announced acquisition of Kobelt contributed $1.2 million. The U.S. manufacturing operations experienced a 3.5%, or $3.0 million, increase in sales versus the first nine months of fiscal 2024, with improvement in demand for ARFF and industrial products. The Company’s operation in the Netherlands saw increased revenue of $12.4 million (23.9%) compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as this operation continues to experience record demand for its propulsion systems and has begun to increase capacity to satisfy the growing demand. The Company’s Belgian operation saw a decrease compared to the prior year first half (19.9% or $4.0 million), with weaker demand for its marine transmission products. The Company’s Italian manufacturing operations were down $3.3 million (22.3%) compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024, due primarily to the sale of the boat management product line in the prior year, along with weaker European demand for industrial and commercial marine products. The Company’s Swiss manufacturing operation, which supplies customized propellers for the global mega yacht and patrol boat markets, was up $0.1 million (2.5%) compared to the prior year comparable period.
Our distribution segment experienced a decrease in sales of $8.0 million (7.7%) in the first nine months of fiscal 2025 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The Company’s Asian distribution operations in Singapore, China and Japan were down 6.7% or $2.9 million from the prior year on weaker demand for oilfield transmissions into China. The Company’s North America distribution operation saw a decrease ($5.8 million or 26.4%) on some softening in North American demand for commercial marine products. The Company’s European distribution operation saw an increase ($0.6 million or 3.7%) on stronger shipments of commercial marine projects. The Company’s distribution operation in Australia and New Zealand, which provides boat accessories, propulsion and marine transmission systems for the pleasure craft market, saw a decrease in revenue of 0.1% from the prior year comparable period, on stable demand.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 declined to 25.7%, compared to 27.6% for the same period last year. The current year includes the impact of a non-cash inventory write-down of $1.6 million. This write-down reflects the results of a product rationalization exercise of the Company’s industrial product line following the acquisition of Katsa. Excluding this adjustment, the first nine months gross profit percent was 26.3%. The remaining shortfall to the prior year gross profit percentage is attributed to a less favorable product mix, along with purchase accounting amortization related to Katsa.
For the fiscal 2025 first nine months, marketing, engineering and administrative (“ME&A”) expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 23.7%, compared to 24.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. ME&A expenses increased $6.5 million (12.8%) over the same period last fiscal year. The increase in ME&A spending for the first nine months was comprised of the addition of Katsa and Kobelt ($4.7 million), a catch-up adjustment to non-cash stock compensation ($0.6 million), a legal settlement ($0.4 million), an increase in professional fees ($0.9 million) and other inflation related increases ($0.6 million). These increases were offset by a decrease in global bonus expense ($0.7 million).
Interest expense was up $0.7 million to $1.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2025, with a higher average outstanding revolver balance following the Katsa and Kobelt acquisitions.
Other expense of $2.5 million for the first nine months was primarily attributable to a currency loss ($1.9 million), along with pension amortization expense ($0.7 million).
The fiscal 2025 first nine month effective tax rate was 1,469.0% compared to 41.0% in the prior fiscal year comparable period. The full domestic valuation allowance, along with the mix of foreign earnings by jurisdiction, resulted in the change to the effective tax rate. This rate becomes very volatile when pre-tax results are very close to breakeven.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Comparison between March 28, 2025 and June 30, 2024
As of March 28, 2024, the Company had net working capital of $123.1 million, which represents an increase of $3.0 million, or 2.5%, from the net working capital of $120.1 million as of June 30, 2024.
Cash decreased by $3.8 million to $16.2 million as of March 28, 2025, versus $20.1 million as of June 30, 2024. As of March 28, 2025, the majority of the cash is at the Company’s overseas operations in Europe ($4.8 million) and Asia-Pacific ($11.2 million).
Trade receivables of $57.3 million were up $5.1 million, or 9.8%, when compared to last fiscal year-end. The impact of foreign currency translation was to decrease accounts receivable by $0.2 million versus June 30, 2024. As a percent of sales, trade receivables finished at 70.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 55.2% for the comparable period in fiscal 2024 and 61.8% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The current quarter was unfavorably impacted by timing of sales within the quarter, heavily weighted toward the end of the quarter.
Inventories increased by $7.5 million, or 5.7%, versus June 30, 2024 to $138.0 million. The impact of foreign currency translation was to decrease inventories by $0.6 million versus June 30, 2024. The largest increase is the result of the Kobelt acquisition during the quarter ($6.0 million). The Singapore distribution entity experienced a $2.4 million increase primarily related to customer delays of deliveries on oilfield transmissions into China. Additional increases were seen at our US distribution operation ($1.6 million) and Australia ($0.6 million). Offsetting decreases came at our operations in the United States ($1.9 million), favorably impacted by the non-cash write down of industrial inventory in the second fiscal quarter ($1.6 million). Our operation in Finland saw a decrease ($1.7 million) on a softening in demand during the quarter. The global operations team is focused on driving inventory improvements in the second half and beyond. On a consolidated basis, as of March 28, 2025, the Company’s backlog of orders to be shipped over the next six months approximates $133.7 million, compared to $133.7 million at June 30, 2024 and $130.5 million at March 29, 2024. As a percentage of six-month backlog, inventory has increased from 98% at June 30, 2024 to 103% at March 28, 2025.
Net property, plant and equipment increased $5.6 million (9.6%) to $63.7 million versus $58.1 million at June 30, 2024. The Company had capital spending of $7.5 million in the first three quarters, along with the impact of the Kobelt acquisition ($5.0 million). This increase was offset by depreciation of $6.2 million and an unfavorable exchange impact ($0.9 million). Capital spending occurring in the first nine months was primarily related to replacement capital, along with capital to drive growth and operating efficiencies. In total, the Company expects to invest between $10 and $12 million in capital assets in fiscal 2025. 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 March 28, 2025 of $31.6 million was down $1.0 million, or 3.1%, from June 30, 2024. The impact of foreign currency translation was essentially neutral to accounts payable. The decrease is primarily related to reduced purchasing activity toward the end of the quarter.
Total borrowings and long-term debt as of March 28, 2025 increased $15.0 million to $40.8 million versus $25.8 million at June 30, 2024. The increase is primarily related to the acquisition of Kobelt in the quarter ($16.7 million). During the first nine months, the Company reported positive free cash flow of $0.5 million (defined as operating cash flow less acquisitions of fixed assets), driven by improved earnings. The Company ended the quarter with total debt, net of cash, of $24.5 million, compared to $5.7 million at June 30, 2024, for a net increase of $18.8 million.
Total equity decreased $4.9 million, or 3.1%, to $150.2 million as of March 28, 2025. The net loss during the first nine months decreased equity by $3.1 million, while other decreases related to dividends paid to shareholders of $1.7 million. The net change in common stock and treasury stock resulting from the accounting for stock-based compensation decreased equity by $0.9 million. The net remaining decrease in equity of $1.0 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 loss 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 April 1, 2027, and require the Company to make principal installment payments on the Term Loan of $0.5 million per quarter. In addition, under subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement, BMO’s Revolving Credit Commitment is currently $45.0 million. The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to obtain Letters of Credit from BMO, which if drawn upon by the beneficiary thereof and paid by BMO, would become Revolving Loans. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may not pay cash dividends on its common stock in excess of $5.0 million in any fiscal year. The term of the Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement currently runs through April 1, 2027.
Under the Credit Agreement as amended, interest rates are based on either the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”). Loans are designated either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin, or “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin. Amounts drawn on a Letter of Credit that are not timely reimbursed to the Bank bear interest at a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Company also pays a commitment fee on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment equal to an Applicable Margin. Currently, the Applicable Margins are between 2.00% and 3.50% for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit; 2.125% and 3.625% for Term Loans; and 0.15% and 0.30% for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio).
The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants. Specifically, the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio may not exceed 3.50 to 1.00, and the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. In determining whether the Company is in compliance with its Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio, the Company’s EBITDA will include transaction expenses of up to $0.6 million for the Katsa acquisition, as well as pro-forma EBITDA of Katsa as permitted by the Bank. The Company’s Tangible Net Worth may not be less than $100.0 million plus 50% of positive Net Income for each fiscal year ending on or after June 30, 2023.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, 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, BMO may take the three actions listed above without notice to the Company.
On April 1, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 10 to Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”) that amended and extended the Credit Agreement. The Tenth Amendment increased the Revolving Credit Commitment from $40.0 million to $45.0 million, and also increased the Borrowing Base for Revolving Loans from the sum of (a) 85% of outstanding unpaid Eligible Receivable and (b) the lesser of $30.0 million and 50% of Eligible Inventory to the sum of (a) 85% of outstanding unpaid Eligible Receivables and (b) the lesser of $35.0 million (reduced to $32.5 million beginning with the first quarter of the 2026 fiscal year) and 60% of Eligible Inventory (reduced to 55% of Eligible Inventory beginning with the third quarter of the 2025 fiscal year, and 50% of Eligible Inventory beginning with the first quarter of the 2026 fiscal year).
The Company used the increased borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement to help finance its acquisition of Katsa by TD Finland Holding Oy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Tenth Amendment specifically permitted the Company to use Revolving Loans for the Katsa acquisition. In addition, in determining whether the Company is in compliance with its Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio, the Company’s EBITDA will include transaction expenses of up to $0.6 million for the Katsa acquisition, as well as pro-forma EBITDA of Katsa as permitted by the Bank.
The Tenth Amendment also extended the Credit Agreement through April 1, 2027 and extended the maturity date of the Term Loan and the Term Loan Commitment Date to April 1, 2027.
The Tenth Amendment also increased the Applicable Margins under the Credit Agreement for purposes of determining interest rates on Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, Term Loans, and the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment. Prior to the Tenth Amendment, the Applicable Margins were 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). Under the Tenth Amendment, the Applicable Margins are between 2% and 3.5% for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit; 2.125% and 3.625% for Term Loans; and .15% and .3% for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio).
The Tenth Amendment also increased the amount of Restricted Payments that the Company may make in the form of cash dividends, distributions, purchases, redemptions, or other acquisitions of its common stock from $3.0 million to $5.0 million in any fiscal year.
On February 14, 2025, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Agreement”) with Bank of Montreal (the “Bank”) that refinances and replaces the credit agreement dated as of June 29, 2018, as amended between the Company and BMO.
Pursuant to the New Agreement, the Bank made a Term Loan to the Company in the principal amount of $15 million, consisting of as assignment of a term loan under the Credit Agreement from BMO to the Bank with a remaining principal of $8.5 million and an additional advance of $6.5 million. The maturity date of the Term Loan is April 1, 2027, and the Company is required to make principal installments on the Term Loan of at least $0.750 million per quarter. Under the new agreement, the Company is restricted in making dividend payments beyond $5 million in any fiscal year.
In addition, the Company may, from time to time prior to the maturity date, enter into Revolving Loans in amounts not to exceed, in the aggregate and subject to a Borrowing Base, $50 million (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”). The Borrowing Base is the sum of (a) 85% of outstanding unpaid Eligible Receivables and (b) the lesser of $40 million for each fiscal month ending on or prior to August 31, 2025 (reduced to $35 million for each fiscal month ending on or prior to August 31, 2026, and further reduced to $32.5 million for each fiscal month ending thereafter) and 60% of Eligible Inventory for each fiscal month ending on or prior to August 31, 2025 (reduced to 55% of Eligible Inventory for each fiscal month ending on or prior to February 28, 2026, and 50% of Eligible Inventory for each fiscal month ending thereafter). The New Agreement also allows the Company to obtain Letters of Credit from the Bank, which if drawn upon by the beneficiary thereof and paid by the Bank, would become Revolving Loans. Under the New Agreement, the Company may not pay cash dividends on its common stock in excess of $5.0 million in any fiscal year. The term of the Revolving Loans under the New Agreement runs through April 1, 2027.
The Company used the increased borrowing capacity under the New Agreement to help finance its acquisition of Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (“Kobelt”), as described elsewhere in this current report. Kobelt is included as a Borrower under the New Agreement, and may borrow directly under the New Agreement up to the lesser of the Revolving Credit Commitment or $25 million. For purposes of determining the Borrowing Base under the Credit Agreement, Eligible Receivables and Eligible Inventory of Kobelt are included. In addition, in determining whether the Company is in compliance with its Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio, the Company’s EBITDA will include transaction expenses of up to $0.6 million for each of the Company’s Kobelt Acquisition and the Company’s prior Katsa Oy acquisition, as well as pro-forma EBITDA of Katsa Oy and Kobelt as permitted by the Bank.
Interest rates under the New Agreement are based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), the euro interbank offered rate (the “EURIBO Rate”), or the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (the “CORRA”). Loans under the New Agreement are designated as either as “SOFR Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin; “Eurodollar Loans,” which accrue interest at the EURIBO Rate plus an Applicable Margin; “Term CORRA Loans,” which accrue interest at an Adjusted Term CORRA plus an Applicable Margin; “Daily Compounded CORRA Loans,” which accrue interest at a Daily Compounded CORRA plus an Applicable Margin; or Canadian Prime Rate Loans,” which accrue interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margins are between 2% and 3.5% for Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit; 2.125% and 3.625% for Term Loans; and .15% and .3% for the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment (each depending on the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio).
Borrowings under the New Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and Kobelt’s personal property, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and intellectual property. The Company has also pledged 65% of its equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries. To effect these security interests, the Company entered into various amendment and assignment agreements that consent to the assignment to the Bank of certain agreements previously entered into between the Company and the Bank in connection with an April 22, 2016 credit agreement between the Company and the Bank, and further amended such agreements pursuant to the terms of the New Agreement. Specifically, the Company amended and agreed to the assignment to the Bank of a Security Agreement, IP Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement, Perfection Certificate, and Assignment as to Liens and Encumbrances. The Company also amended and assigned to the Bank a Negative Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which it agreed not to sell, lease or otherwise encumber real estate that it owns except as permitted by the New Agreement and the Negative Pledge Agreement. The Company also entered into a Collateral Assignment of Rights under Purchase Agreement for its acquisition of Kobelt, described in Item 8.01 below.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may take the following actions upon written notice to the Company: (1) terminate its remaining obligations under the New Agreement; (2) declare all amounts outstanding under the New 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 the Bank 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.
The Company remains in compliance with its liquidity and other covenants.
Other significant contractual obligations as of March 28, 2025 are disclosed in Note O "Lease Liabilities" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There are no material undisclosed guarantees. As of March 28, 2025, the Company had no additional material purchase obligations other than those created in the ordinary course of business related to inventory and property, plant, and equipment, which generally have terms of less than 90 days. The Company has long-term obligations related to its postretirement plans which are discussed in detail in Note H "Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Postretirement medical claims are paid by the Company as they are submitted. In fiscal 2025, the Company expects to contribute $0.5 million to postretirement benefits based on actuarial estimates; however, these amounts can vary significantly from year to year because the Company is self-insured. In fiscal 2025, the Company expects to contribute $0.7 million to its defined benefit pension plans. The Company does not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Management believes that available cash, the New Agreement, the unsecured lines of credit, cash generated from future operations, and potential access to debt markets will be adequate to fund the Company's cash and capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of this Quarterly Report requires management’s judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for June 30, 2024. There have been no significant changes to those accounting policies subsequent to June 30, 2024.
| Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk |
The Company is electing not to provide this disclosure due to its status as a Smaller Reporting Company.
| Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have 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, as amended (“the Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). During the most recent fiscal quarter, no changes were made which have materially affected, or which are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION |

Legal Proceedings |
The Company is a defendant in several product liability or related claims which are considered either adequately covered by appropriate liability insurance or involving amounts not deemed material to the business or financial condition of the Company.
| Item 1A. |
Risk Factors |
The Company is providing the following additional risk factor to supplement the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Additional tariffs on product imported to the U.S., retaliatory trade actions taken by other countries and resulting trade wars may have a material adverse impact on our business.
The Company’s business is subject to risks related to tariffs and other trade policies put in place by the U.S. or other countries. In 2025, the U.S. government announced the intention to impose additional tariffs on certain goods imported from numerous countries, and multiple nations, including China, responded with reciprocal tariffs and other trade actions.
The recent enactment of tariffs by the U.S. government, along with the unpredictability of the rates, poses a significant risk to our business operations and may materially increase our costs and reduce our margins. The tariffs may also lead to higher pricing for our products, potentially reducing consumer demand and impacting our sales volume. The Company is actively monitoring the impact of any tariffs that become effective, as well as potential retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries. The Company is currently analyzing strategies that can be taken to moderate or minimize the effects of these trade actions, including evaluating the country of origin for sourcing product into the U.S., negotiating with suppliers and adjusting our pricing strategies. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful, or that they will offset the negative impact of the tariffs on our business.
Given the uncertainty regarding scope and duration of the current and potential tariffs, as well as the potential for additional trade actions by the U.S. or other countries, the specific impact to our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition is uncertain but could be material.
