PART I

Item 1. Business.

General

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 13, 1963. On December 21, 2018, the Company changed its name from EnviroStar, Inc. to EVI Industries, Inc.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a value-added distributor, and provides advisory and technical services. Through its vast sales organization, the Company provides its customers with planning, designing, and consulting services related to their commercial laundry operations. The Company sells and/or leases its customers commercial laundry equipment, specializing in washing, drying, finishing, material handling, water heating, power generation, and water reuse applications. In support of the suite of products it offers, the Company sells related parts and accessories. Additionally, through the Company’s robust network of commercial laundry technicians, the Company provides its customers with installation, maintenance, and repair services.

The Company’s customers include government, institutional, industrial, commercial and retail customers. Product purchases made by customers range from parts and accessories, to single or multiple units of equipment, to large complex systems. The Company also provides its customers with the services described above.

Prior to the completion of the Company’s first acquisition pursuant to its “buy-and-build” growth strategy in October 2016, the Company’s operations related to the activities described above consisted solely of the business and operations of Steiner-Atlantic Corp. (“Steiner-Atlantic”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Beginning in 2015, the Company implemented a “buy-and-build” growth strategy which includes (i) the consideration and pursuit of acquisitions and other strategic transactions which management believes may complement the Company’s existing business or otherwise offer growth opportunities for, or benefit, the Company and (ii) the implementation of a growth culture at acquired businesses based on the exchange of ideas and business concepts among the management teams of the Company and the acquired businesses as well as through certain additional initiatives, which may include investments in new locations, additional product lines, expanded service capabilities and advanced technologies. See “Buy-and-Build Growth Strategy” below for additional information regarding the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy, including information regarding certain acquisitions consummated by the Company since its implementation of the “buy-and-build” growth strategy in 2015.

The Company seeks to maintain a culture designed to reward performance through a variety of performance-based pay, commission programs, cash incentives, and stock-based equity programs. Stock-based plans include a voluntary employee stock purchase plan and equity compensation plans under which restricted stock and other equity awards may be granted. The Company’s equity compensation plans are designed to promote long-term performance, as well as to create long-term employee retention, continuity of leadership, and align the interests of management and employees with the long-term success of the Company. The Company believes that its restricted stock program promotes this culture and long-term performance because restricted stock grants generally provide for long-term vesting, including in certain cases entirely at the end of the recipient’s career (age 62 or later).

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included as Part II, Item 7 of this Report for a discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, results, financial condition and liquidity.

The Company reports its results of operations through a single reportable segment.

Available Information

The Company files Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, files or furnishes Current Reports on Form 8-K, files or furnishes amendments to those reports, and files proxy and information statements with the SEC. These reports and statements, as well as beneficial ownership reports filed by the Company’s officers and directors and beneficial owners of 10% or more of the Company’s common stock, may be accessed free of charge on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and, as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC, on the Company’s website at http://www.evi-ind.com. The information contained on or connected to the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into, or otherwise a part of, this Report. Further, references to the website URL of the Company in this Report are intended to be inactive textual references only.

Products and Services

The Company sells, rents and leases an extensive line of commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment and steam and hot water boilers manufactured by others, as well as related replacement parts and accessories, and provides installation, maintenance and repair services.

The commercial and industrial laundry equipment distributed by the Company includes washroom, finishing, material handling, and mechanical equipment such as washers and dryers, tunnel systems and vended machines, many of which are designed to reduce utility and water consumption. Finishing equipment distributed by the Company includes sheet feeders, flatwork ironers, automatic sheet folders, and stackers. Material handling equipment distributed by the Company includes conveyor and rail systems. Mechanical equipment distributed by the Company includes boilers, hot water/steam systems, power generation products, water purification, reuse and recycling systems and air compressors. Boiler products distributed by the Company include high efficiency, low emission steam boilers, steam systems and hot water systems that are used in the laundry and dry cleaning industry for temperature control, heating, pressing and de-wrinkling, and in the healthcare industry, food and beverage industry, and other industrial markets for sterilization, product sealing and other purposes. The Company also sells replacement parts and accessories for the products it distributes.

The Company seeks to position and price its products to appeal to customers in each of the high-end, mid-range and value-priced markets, as the products are generally offered in a wide range of price points to address the needs of a diverse customer base. The Company believes that its portfolio of products affords the Company’s customers a “one-stop shop” for commercial, industrial and vended laundry and dry cleaning machines, boilers and accessories and that, as a result, the Company is able to attract and support potential customers who can choose from the Company’s broad product line.

In addition to its distribution of products, the Company also provides installation, maintenance and repair services to its customers. The Company believes its services are competitively priced.

Buy-and-Build Growth Strategy

As described above, in addition to its pursuit of organic growth initiatives, the Company implemented a “buy-and-build” growth strategy in 2015. The “buy” component of the strategy includes the consideration and pursuit of acquisitions and other strategic transactions which management believes would complement the Company’s existing business or otherwise offer growth opportunities for, or benefit, the Company. The Company is disciplined and conservative in its consideration of acquisitions and generally seeks to identify opportunities that fit certain financial and strategic criteria. The “build” component of the strategy involves implementing a growth culture at acquired businesses based on the exchange of ideas and business concepts among the management teams of the Company and the acquired businesses as well as through certain additional initiatives, which may include investments in new locations, additional product lines, expanded service capabilities and advanced technologies. The Company generally seeks to structure acquisitions to include both cash and stock consideration. The Company believes the issuance of stock consideration aligns the interests of the sellers of the acquired businesses, who the Company generally seeks to maintain to continue to operate the acquired businesses, with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders. The sellers as well as other key individuals at the acquired businesses may also be provided with the opportunity to own shares of the Company’s common stock through equity-based plans of the Company.

The Company’s acquisitions under its “buy-and-build” growth strategy since its implementation in 2015 include, without limitation, those described below. The acquired companies distribute commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provide installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry.

Each acquisition was effected by the Company through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary formed by the Company for the purpose of effecting the transaction, whether by an asset purchase or merger, and operating the acquired business following the transaction. In connection with each transaction, the Company, indirectly through its applicable wholly-owned subsidiary, also assumed certain of the liabilities of the acquired business. The financial position, including assets and liabilities, and results of operations of the acquired businesses following the respective closing dates of the acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Customers and Markets

The Company’s customer base consists of approximately 60,000 customers in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues for fiscal 2021 or fiscal 2020.

The Company’s commercial and industrial laundry equipment and boilers are sold, rented or leased to a wide range of customers, including, but not limited to, vended laundry facilities, industrial laundry facilities, government institutions, correctional facilities, hospitals, hospital combines, nursing homes, veterinary clinics, professional sports franchises, educational institutions, hotels, motels, food and beverage establishments, cruise lines, and specialized users.

Historically, the Company has not noted any significant seasonality.

Sales, Marketing and Customer Support

The Company employs sales personnel to market its products in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia. The Company has exclusive and nonexclusive distribution rights to market its products. Orders for equipment and replacement parts and accessories are generally obtained by telephone, e-mail and fax inquiries originated by the customer or by the Company, from existing customer relationships and from newly formed customer relationships. The Company supports its sales, rental and leasing activities through its websites and by advertising in trade publications, participating in trade shows and engaging in regional promotions and incentive programs.

The Company seeks to establish customer satisfaction by offering:

•

an experienced sales and service organization;  

•

comprehensive product offerings;  

•

competitive pricing;  

•

maintenance of comprehensive and well-stocked inventories of equipment, replacement parts and accessories, often with same day or overnight availability;  

•

design and layout services;  

•

installation, maintenance and repair services;  

•

on-site training performed by factory trained technicians; and  

•

toll-free support lines and technical websites to resolve customer service problems.  

The Company trains its employees to provide service and customer support. The Company uses in-person classroom training, instructional videos and vendor sponsored seminars to educate employees about product information. In addition, the Company’s technical staff has prepared training manuals, written in English and Spanish, relating to specific training procedures. The Company’s technical personnel are retrained as the Company believes to be necessary, including in connection with the development of new technology.

Foreign Sales

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues from foreign activities relate to the sale of commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment and boilers to customers in Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia.

All of the Company’s foreign sales require the customer to make payment in United States dollars. Foreign sales may be affected by the strength of the United States dollar relative to the currencies of the countries in which the Company’s customers are located, as well as the strength of the economies of the countries in which the Company’s customers are located.

Sources of Supply

The Company purchases commercial and industrial laundry products, dry cleaning machines, boilers and other products for distribution from a number of manufacturers and suppliers. The major manufacturers of the products sold by the Company are American Dryer Corporation, Chicago Dryer Company, Cleaver Brooks Inc., Continental Girbau, Inc., Dexter Laundry, Inc., FMB Group, Fulton Thermal Corp., Kannegiesser ETECH, Maytag Corporation, Pellerin Milnor Corporation, Unipress Corporation and Whirlpool Corporation. Purchases from three manufacturers accounted for a total of approximately 62% and 63% of the Company’s product purchases for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. No other manufacturers accounted for more than 10% of product purchases during fiscal 2021 or fiscal 2020. The Company has generally not experienced difficulty in purchasing products it distributes and believes that it has good working relationships with its current manufacturers and suppliers. The Company has contracts with several of the manufacturers and suppliers of the products which the Company sells and has established, long-standing relationships with most of its manufacturers and suppliers. The Company believes that such relationships provide the Company with certain competitive advantages, including exclusivity for certain products in certain areas and, in certain cases, favorable prices and terms.

In connection with certain business acquisitions, the business relationship between the acquired business and its principal supplier ceased. As a result, the businesses distributed other brands from one or more of the Company’s other suppliers. The Company does not believe that the brand switch had a material adverse impact on the Company as a whole. However, there is no assurance that the Company or any of its acquired businesses will maintain its relationships with any of its suppliers, and the loss of certain of these relationships, including the loss of a relationship with a principal supplier and any inability to successfully mitigate the effect of the loss of such supplier, could adversely affect the Company’s business and results. See also “The Company’s business and results may be adversely affected if the Company does not maintain its relationships with its significant suppliers or customers” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” below.

Due to special options and features on most of the larger and more expensive equipment ordered by customers, in most instances, the Company purchases the equipment distributed by it after its receipt of orders from its customers. However, from time to time, including in fiscal 2021 and 2020, the Company purchases inventory in advance to take advantage of favorable pricing at the time or for other purposes, including to support the Company’s sales growth initiatives in new distribution territories and in support of growth initiatives related to the establishment of new manufacturer and supplier distribution relationships. The Company also maintains an inventory of more standardized and smaller-sized equipment that often requires more rapid delivery to meet customer needs.

Competition

The commercial and industrial laundry and boiler distribution business is highly competitive and fragmented, with over 500 full-line or partial-line equipment distributors in the United States. The Company’s management believes that no one competitor has a major share of the market, substantially all competitors are independently owned, and, with the exception of several regional distributors, distributors operate primarily in local markets. In the United States, the Company’s primary competition is from a number of independently owned distributors and certain foreign manufacturers which own distribution businesses operating in North America. In foreign markets, the Company also competes with several independently owned distributors and manufacturer-owned distribution businesses. Competition is based primarily on a distributor’s ability to effectively plan and design optimal commercial and industrial laundry facilities, competitive pricing, representation of reliable and high-quality products, in-house installation, maintenance, and repair services, available and on-time delivery of equipment, parts, and accessories, and the ability to provide continuous support services to the customer. The Company seeks to compete in these areas by employing experienced and successful professionals, by offering a comprehensive product line, by employing a robust network of qualified installation and service technicians, by maintaining optimized inventories of equipment, parts, and accessories at well-located facilities and on service vehicles, by investing in advanced technologies designed to improve the customer experience, and by expansion of its suite of value-added services.

Research and Development

The Company’s research and development efforts and expenses are generally immaterial as most of the Company’s products are distributed for manufacturers that perform their own research and development.

Service Marks and Tradenames

The Company is the owner of certain service marks in the United States. The Company intends to use and protect its service marks, tradenames and other intellectual property, as necessary.

Compliance with Environmental and Other Government Laws and Regulations

Over the past several decades, federal, state, local and foreign governments have enacted environmental protection laws in response to public concerns about the environment. A number of industries, including the commercial and industrial dry cleaning and laundry equipment industries, are subject to these evolving laws and implementing regulations. As a supplier to the industry, the Company serves customers who are primarily responsible for compliance with environmental regulations. Among the United States federal laws that the Company believes are applicable to the industry are the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), which provides for the investigation and remediation of hazardous waste sites, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (“RCRA”), which regulates the generation and transportation of hazardous waste as well as its treatment, storage and disposal, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (“OSHA”), which regulates exposure to toxic substances and other health and safety hazards in the workplace. In addition, most states and a number of local jurisdictions have environmental protections which are at least as stringent as the federal laws. The Company is also subject to rules and regulations with respect to its contracts and dealings with government facilities.

While there is no assurance that this will be the case, including due to the fact that regulatory requirements or the interpretation or enforcement thereof are subject to change, the Company does not believe that compliance with federal, state, local and foreign environmental and other laws and regulations which have been adopted have had, or will have, a material effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Human Capital Resources

As of August 1, 2021, the Company had 526 full and part-time employees. All of the Company’s employees are based in the United States. None of the Company’s employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are satisfactory.

The Company believes that, in order to compete and succeed in the highly competitive and fragmented commercial and industrial laundry and boiler distribution business, it is crucial to continue to attract and retain experienced employees. The Company strives to create a workplace that is diverse, innovative, and safe for its employees. The Company seeks to attract highly qualified and diverse talent and to provide its employees with growth opportunities, competitive compensation and benefits, and a variety of training and development programs.

As described above, the Company seeks to maintain a culture designed to reward performance through a variety of performance-based pay, commission programs, cash incentives, and stock-based equity programs. Stock-based plans include a voluntary employee stock purchase plan and equity compensation plans under which restricted stock and other equity awards may be granted. The Company’s equity compensation plans are designed to promote long-term performance, as well as to create long-term employee retention, continuity of leadership, and align the interests of management and employees with the long-term success of the Company. The Company believes that its restricted stock program promotes this culture and long-term performance because restricted stock grants generally provide for long-term vesting, including in certain cases entirely at the end of the recipient’s career (age 62 or later).

In addition, as previously described, the Company uses in-person classroom training, instructional videos and vendor sponsored seminars to educate and train its sales personnel about product information. In addition, the Company’s technical staff has prepared training manuals, written in English and Spanish, relating to specific training procedures. The Company’s technical personnel are retrained as the Company believes to be necessary, including in connection with the development of new technology.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and the value of the Company’s common stock. The risks described below are not the only risks faced by the Company. Additional risks not presently known to the Company or other factors that the Company does not presently perceive to present significant risks to the Company at this time may also impair the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, or the value of the Company’s common stock. The risks discussed below also include forward looking statements, and actual results and events may differ substantially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” preceding Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business and Operations

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, negative impacts on the Company’s business, results and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been, and continues to be, an unprecedented disruption in the economy and has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the Company’s business and results. Specifically, beginning at the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic disruption caused delays and declines in the placement of customer orders, the completion of equipment and parts installations, and the fulfillment of parts orders. The COVID-19 pandemic, while showing initial signs of recovery earlier in fiscal 2021 has recently had a resurgence with the increased presence and spread of the Delta variant. Accordingly, the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue in the near-term and possibly longer, including, without limitation, if the pandemic increases in size and scope, its duration is prolonged, or, among other matters related thereto, additional governmental actions, including, without limitation, business restrictions, are imposed. In response to the economic and business disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, the Company took actions to reduce costs and spending across the organization, including changes to inventory stock levels, renegotiating payment terms with suppliers, and reducing hiring activities. The Company continues to actively monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions, including those that may alter business operations, if required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities or otherwise determined to be advisable by management.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors arising from the COVID-19 pandemic that have impacted, or may negatively impact, the Company’s business and results, including sales and gross margin, in the future include, but are not limited to: potential limitations on the ability of suppliers to manufacture, or the Company’s ability to procure from manufacturers, the products the Company sells, or to meet delivery requirements and commitments; limitations on the ability of the Company’s employees to perform their work due to impacts caused by the pandemic or local, state, federal or foreign orders that may restrict the Company’s operations or the operations of its customers, or require that employees be quarantined; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver products to the Company’s facilities and customers; adverse impacts of the pandemic on certain industries and customers of the Company which operate in those industries, including the hospitality industry; and potential decreased demand for products and services, including potential limitations on the ability of, or adverse changes in the desire of, the Company’s customers to conduct their business, purchase products and services and pay for purchases on a timely basis or at all.

The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and highly uncertain. The Company is unable to determine or predict the nature, duration, or scope of the overall impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition, as such impact will depend in large part on future developments, including the severity and duration of the pandemic (including the Delta variant and any other future variants) and government and other actions taken in response thereto, all of which are highly uncertain. Further, even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of, among other things, any adverse impact that has occurred or may occur in the future in the economy or markets generally, and changes in customer or supplier behavior.

During May 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries received a total of twelve loans (the “PPP Loans”) totaling approximately $6.9 million in principal amount from Fifth Third Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) established under the CARES Act. The proceeds of the PPP Loans were used primarily for payroll costs. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company was notified by the Lender that all twelve of the PPP Loans were fully forgiven. The Company recognized a gain of $7.0 million during fiscal 2021 in connection with the forgiveness of the PPP Loans and the related accrued interest. Notwithstanding the forgiveness of the loans, the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) reserves the right to audit the PPP Loans. Any such audit may require significant management attention and the incurrence of significant costs, and an adverse determination could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results and financial condition.

Acquisitions and the Company’s pursuit of acquisitions and other strategic transactions subject the Company to a number of risks.

Acquisitions are an important element of the Company’s growth strategy. Acquisitions and the Company’s efforts with respect thereto involve a number of risks, including, but not limited to:

•

the ability to identify and consummate transactions with acquisition targets;  

•

the successful operation and integration of acquired companies;  

•

diversion of management’s attention from other business functions and operations;  

•

strain on managerial and operational resources as management tries to oversee larger operations;  

•

difficulty implementing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting at the acquired businesses;  

•

possible loss of key employees and/or customer or supplier relationships of the acquired business (See “The Company’s business and results may be adversely impacted if the Company does not maintain its relationships with its significant suppliers or customers” below); and  

•

exposure to liabilities of the acquired businesses.  

As a result of these or other problems and risks, acquired businesses may not produce the revenues, earnings, cash flows or business synergies anticipated, and the acquired businesses may not perform as expected. As a result, the Company may incur higher costs and realize lower revenues and earnings than anticipated. The Company may not be able to successfully address these problems, integrate any acquired businesses or generate sufficient revenue to offset the associated costs or other negative effects on its business.

In addition, acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of the Company’s equity securities and the incurrence of debt. See “Risks Related to the Company’s Indebtedness - The Company’s indebtedness may impact its financial condition and results of operations, and the terms of the Company’s indebtedness may place restrictions on the Company” below. Acquisitions may also result in contingent liabilities, or amortization expenses, or impairment of goodwill and/or purchased long-lived assets, and restructuring charges, any of which could adversely impact the Company’s financial condition or results. Further, there are risks related to the accounting for acquisitions, including that preliminary valuations are subject to change and any such change may impact the Company’s results (including in the event of any change which results in an adjustment to the bargain purchase gain recognized by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Baystate Business Ventures (d/b/a Eastern Laundry Systems) during January 2021 as described in further detail elsewhere in this Report).

Rapid growth may place significant demands on management, as well as on the Company’s accounting, financial, information and other systems and on the Company’s business. Further, management may not be able to manage the Company’s growth effectively or successfully, and the Company’s financial, accounting, information and other systems may not be able to successfully accommodate the Company’s growth. In addition, the Company’s accounting and other professional expenses associated with being a public company have increased as a result of the Company’s growth, including the increase in the Company’s market capitalization, and such expenses may continue to increase in the future.

Further, the Company may not be successful in consummating acquisitions or other strategic transactions. Expenses related to the Company’s pursuit of acquisitions and other strategic transactions may be significant and will be incurred by the Company regardless of whether the underlying acquisition or other strategic transaction is ultimately consummated.

Conditions beyond the Company’s control can interrupt the Company’s supplies, increase its product costs and impair its ability to deliver products and services to its customers.

The Company obtains its products from third-party suppliers. Although purchasing volume can provide benefits when dealing with suppliers, suppliers may not be able to provide the products and supplies that the Company needs in the quantities and at the prices requested, including due to conditions outside of the supplier’s control. The Company is also subject to delays caused by interruptions in production and increases in product costs based on conditions outside of the Company’s control. These conditions include shortages of qualified labor for suppliers, work slowdowns, work interruptions, strikes or other job actions by employees of suppliers, weather conditions transportation interruptions, unavailability of fuel or increases in fuel costs, product recalls, competitive demands, civil insurrection or social unrest, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) or other disease outbreaks or other catastrophic events. Many of these conditions outside of the Company’s control and could also impair the Company’s ability to provide its products and services to its customers or increase the cost of doing so. The current operating environment is constantly shifting in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, placing significant pressure on the supply chain. In many instances, customer demand is outpacing available supply, which has resulted in, and may continue to result in, delays in delivering products or services to the Company’s customers. The inability to obtain adequate supplies of products and/or to timely provide products and services and fulfill the Company’s other obligations to its customers, whether as a result of any of the foregoing factors or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, including, without limitation, if the Company’s customers turn to other distributors.

The Company’s business and results may be adversely affected if the Company does not maintain its relationships with its significant suppliers or customers.

While the Company purchases the products it distributes from a number of manufacturers and suppliers, purchases from three manufacturers accounted for a total of approximately 62% and 63% of the Company’s product purchases for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. The Company has not historically experienced difficulty in purchasing products it distributes, and believes it has good working relationships with the manufacturers or suppliers from which the Company purchases its products. However, if such relationships deteriorate or the Company is unable to maintain such relationships, including with any of its or its acquired businesses’ principal manufacturers or suppliers, the Company’s business and results could be materially and adversely impacted. In addition, efforts of the Company and its acquired businesses to mitigate any loss, including brand shifts, may not be successful. Further, the Company does not have contracts with all of its manufacturers, and the contracts the Company does have are generally short term agreements and can be terminated on short notice. In addition, suppliers may not comply with the terms of any agreements or may choose to terminate such agreements, allow such agreements to expire without renewal, or seek to revise the agreements on terms which are less favorable to the Company than the prevailing terms, any of which could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business and results.

In addition, while the Company distributes its products to various users, including, but not limited to, vended laundry facilities, industrial laundry facilities, government institutions, correctional facilities, hospitals, hospital combines, nursing homes, veterinary clinics, professional sports franchises, educational institutions, hotels, motels, food and beverage establishments, cruise lines, and specialized users, the Company’s operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted if the Company loses a significant customer or fails to meet its customers’ expectations.

The products the Company distributes could fail to perform according to specifications or prove to be unreliable, which could damage the Company’s customer relationships and industry reputation and result in lawsuits and loss of sales.

The Company’s customers require demanding specifications for product performance and reliability. Product defects or other failures to perform to specifications or as expected could result in higher service costs and may damage the Company’s customer relationships and industry reputation and/or otherwise negatively impact the Company’s business, operations and results. Further, the Company may be subject to lawsuits if, among other things, any of the products it distributes fails to operate properly or causes property or other physical damage.

The Company faces substantial competition.

The commercial and industrial laundry, dry cleaning equipment and boiler distribution business is highly competitive and fragmented, with over 500 full-line or partial-line equipment distributors in the United States. The Company’s management believes that no single competitor of the Company has a major share of the market, substantially all competitors are independently owned, and, with the exception of several regional distributors, distributors operate primarily in local markets. In the United States, the Company’s primary competition is from a number of independently owned distributors and certain manufacturers which own distribution businesses operating in North America. In foreign markets, the Company also competes with independently owned distributors and manufacturer-owned distribution businesses. Certain of the Company’s competitors may have greater financial and other resources than the Company. In addition, some of the Company’s competitors may have less indebtedness than the Company, and therefore may have more cash and working capital available for business purposes other than debt service. The Company’s results and financial condition would be materially and adversely impacted if the Company is unable to compete effectively. Further, the Company may not be able to adjust efficiently or effectively or otherwise operate profitably if the competitive environment changes.

The Company faces risks associated with environmental and other regulation.

The Company’s business and operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental and other laws and regulations, including environmental laws governing the discharge of pollutants, the handling, generation, storage and disposal of hazardous materials, substances, and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. As a public company, the Company will also be subject to any rules and regulation of the SEC concerning environmental and other social issues, which may result in increased costs and compliance efforts. The Company is also subject to rules and regulations with respect to its contracts and dealings with government facilities. The Company may not remain in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and could be required to incur significant costs as a result of violations of, liabilities under, or efforts to comply with, applicable laws and regulations. In addition, violations may have other adverse implications for the Company, including negative public relations and potential litigation. Further, the Company may incur significant compliance costs in the event of changes to applicable laws and regulations.

The Company faces risks related to its foreign sales.

The Company’s revenues from foreign sales relate principally to the Company’s sales of commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment and boilers to Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia. All of the Company’s foreign sales require the customer to make payment in United States dollars. Foreign sales may be affected by the strength of the United States dollar relative to the currencies of the countries in which customers and competitors are located, as well as the strength of the economies of the countries in which the Company’s customers are located.

Further, conducting an international business inherently involves a number of difficulties, risks and uncertainties, such as:

•

export and trade restrictions,  

•

inconsistent and changing regulatory requirements,  

•

tariffs and other trade barriers,  

•

cultural issues,  

•

problems in collecting accounts receivable,  

•

political instability,  

•

local economic downturns, and  

•

potentially adverse tax consequences.  

Any of the above factors may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, operating results or financial condition.

Damages to or disruptions at the Company’s facilities or the facilities of a supplier could adversely impact the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Although the Company has certain limited protection afforded by insurance, the Company’s business, earnings and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if it suffers damages to, or disruptions at, its facilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’s facilities in Florida, Georgia, Texas and the Northeast United States are subject to hurricane casualty and flood risk and its facilities in California are subject to earthquake casualty risk. In addition, as described above, damages to the facility of a supplier, whether due to, fire, natural disaster or other events, would adversely impact the Company’s ability to obtain products from that supplier when expected or at all and, accordingly, may result in delays in the delivery of the Company’s products or the provision of its services and adversely impact the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company’s assets may suffer uninsured losses.

The Company attempts to ensure that its assets, including the equipment and parts that it sells, are adequately insured to cover property and casualty losses as well as any other liabilities to which the Company is reasonably expected to be subject. However, insurance may be expensive or difficult to obtain, and there are certain types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, pollution, fire or environmental disasters or other matters, which are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. In addition, there may in certain cases be questions as to when the risk of loss related to products sold is transferred to the customer. If the equipment suffers a loss and risk of loss is deemed not to have transferred to the customer, the Company may be liable for the loss, which may not be insured. If the Company’s insurance coverage is not adequate, or the Company otherwise incurs uninsured losses, the Company’s operating results and financial condition would be adversely impacted.

The Company’s ability to manage its business and monitor results is highly dependent upon information and communication systems, and a failure of these systems or the Company’s ERP implementation could disrupt its business.

The Company is dependent upon a variety of internal computer and telecommunication systems to operate its business, including its enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems. The Company is in the process of implementing across a number of its subsidiaries an ERP software system and related processes to perform various functions and improve on the efficiency of the Company’s business. This is a lengthy and expensive process that will result in a diversion of resources from other operations, and may result in cost overruns, project delays or business interruptions.

Any disruptions, delays or deficiencies in the design and/or implementation of the new ERP system, or in the performance of legacy systems, particularly any disruptions, delays or deficiencies that impact the Company’s operations, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to effectively run and manage its information. Further, as the Company is dependent upon its ability to gather and promptly transmit accurate information to key decision makers, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected if the Company’s information systems do not allow the Company to transmit accurate information, even for a short period of time. Failure to properly or adequately address these issues could impact the Company’s ability to perform necessary business operations, which could adversely affect the Company’s reputation, competitive position, business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, the information systems of businesses that the Company may acquire may not be sufficient to meet the Company’s standards or the Company may not be able to successfully convert them to provide acceptable information on a timely and cost-effective basis. Furthermore, the Company must attract and retain qualified people to operate its systems, expand and improve them, integrate new programs effectively with its existing programs, and convert to new systems efficiently when required. Any disruption to the Company’s business due to such issues, or an increase in costs to cover these issues that is greater than anticipated, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial results and operations.

Failure to maintain the integrity of internal or customer data could result in faulty business decisions or operational inefficiencies, damage the Company’s reputation and/or subject the Company to costs, fines or lawsuits.

The Company collects and retains internal and customer data, including social security numbers, credit card numbers and other personally identifiable information of customers in various internal information systems. The Company also maintains personally identifiable information about its employees. The integrity and protection of that customer, employee and company data is critical to the Company. The Company could make faulty decisions if that data is inaccurate or incomplete. The Company’s customers and employees also have a high expectation that their personal information will be adequately protected. The regulatory environment as well as the requirements imposed on the Company by the payment card industry surrounding information, security and privacy is also increasingly demanding. The Company’s systems may be unable to satisfy changing regulatory and payment card industry requirements and employee and customer expectations, or may require significant additional investments or time in order to do so.

The Company’s information systems and records may be subject to security breaches, cyber-attacks, system failures, viruses, operator error or inadvertent releases of data. A significant theft, loss, or fraudulent use of customer, employee or company data maintained could adversely impact the Company’s reputation and could result in remedial and other expenses, fines or litigation. A breach in the security of the Company’s information systems could lead to an interruption in the operation of the Company’s systems, resulting in operational inefficiencies and losses. In addition, conversions to new information technology systems require effective change management processes and may result in cost overruns, delays or business interruptions. If the Company’s information technology systems are disrupted, become obsolete or do not adequately support the Company’s strategic, operational or compliance needs, the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows may be adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Company’s Indebtedness

The Company’s indebtedness may impact its financial condition and results of operations, and the terms of the Company’s indebtedness may place restrictions on the Company.

The Company’s level of indebtedness may have several important effects on the Company’s operations, including, without limitation, that the Company may be required to use a portion of its cash for the payment of principal and interest due on outstanding indebtedness, that outstanding indebtedness and the Company’s leverage position will increase the impact on the Company of negative changes in general economic and industry conditions, as well as competitive pressures, and that the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing for acquisitions, working capital or other corporate purposes may be impacted.

On November 2, 2018, the Company entered into a syndicated credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) for a five-year revolving credit facility in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million, with an accordion feature to increase the revolving credit facility by up to $40 million for a total of $140 million. A portion of the revolving credit facility is available for swingline loans of up to a sublimit of $5 million and for the issuance of standby letters of credit of up to a sublimit of $10 million. The Company had $12.0 million outstanding under the 2018 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2021.

Borrowings (other than swingline loans) under the 2018 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate, at the Company’s election at the time of borrowing, equal to (a) LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, which is a ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”) or (b) the highest of (i) prime, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, and (iii) the one month LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points (such highest rate, the “Base Rate”), plus a margin that ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Swingline loans bear interest calculated at the Base Rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. A significant increase in interest rates could materially impact the cost of the Company’s indebtedness under the 2018 Credit Agreement and any other floating rate debt that the Company may incur in the future. Furthermore, regulatory changes, such as the announcement of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021, may adversely affect the Company’s floating-rate debt. If LIBOR ceases to exist, the Company may need to renegotiate the 2018 Credit Agreement and any other credit agreements it may enter into that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate, which could adversely impact the cost of the Company’s debt.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains covenants applicable to the Company, including financial covenants requiring the Company to comply with maximum leverage ratios and minimum interest coverage ratios, as well as other covenants which may place restrictions on, among other things, liens, investments, indebtedness, fundamental changes, acquisitions, dispositions of property, making specified restricted payments (including cash dividends and stock repurchases that would result in the Company exceeding an agreed to Consolidated Leverage Ratio), and transactions with affiliates.

The Company may incur additional debt financing as determined to be appropriate by management, including in connection with the financing of acquisitions or otherwise, which would increase the Company’s vulnerability to the risk factors described above related to its level of indebtedness and may place restrictions on the Company similar or in addition to those contained in the 2018 Credit Agreement. There is no assurance that the Company will receive any financing which the Company may seek to obtain in the future on acceptable terms or at all, including in the event additional funds are necessary to consummate an acquisition or support the Company’s business operations.

Risks Related to Ownership of the Company’s Common Stock

Henry M. Nahmad may be deemed to control the Company.

Henry M. Nahmad, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, may be deemed to control the Company as a result of his voting power over shares representing approximately 53.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2021. The shares over which Mr. Nahmad has voting power include shares subject to restricted stock awards granted to Mr. Nahmad, shares held by Symmetric Capital LLC and Symmetric Capital II LLC, each of which may be deemed to be controlled by Mr. Nahmad as a result of his serving as Manager of such entity, and shares which Symmetric Capital has the right to vote pursuant to a Stockholders Agreement entered into with WSD, Dennis Mack, a director and Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy of the Company, and Tom Marks, Executive Vice President, Business Development of the Company. A copy of such Stockholders Agreements is filed as an exhibit to this Report. Under the Company’s Bylaws, the election of directors requires a plurality vote and all other matters put to a vote of the Company’s stockholders require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock represented at a meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the matter unless a greater percentage is required by applicable law. Consequently, other than in very limited circumstances where a greater vote is required by applicable law, Mr. Nahmad, without the consent or vote of any other stockholders of the Company, has the voting power to elect directors and approve other actions that require stockholder approval. Mr. Nahmad’s interests may conflict with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders. In addition, Mr. Nahmad’s control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or changes in management and/or adversely impact the market price of the Company’s common stock or the ability of the Company’s other stockholders to receive a premium for their shares in connection with any sale of the Company.

Further, as a result of Mr. Nahmad’s controlling voting position with respect to the Company’s common stock, the Company is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE American, on which the Company’s common stock is listed. As a “controlled company,” the Company is not required under the listing standards of the NYSE American to comply with certain corporate governance requirements set forth therein, including:

•

the requirement that a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors consists of independent directors;  

•

the requirement that nominating and corporate governance matters be decided solely by a nominating/corporate governance committee consisting of independent directors; and  

•

the requirement that executive compensation matters be decided by a compensation committee consisting of independent directors.  

While executive compensation matters are determined by a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors and the Company’s Board of Directors is currently comprised of a majority of independent directors, the Company does not have a standing nominating/corporate governance committee and the Company has in the past from time to time maintained a Board of Directors not comprised of a majority of independent directors. In addition, in the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company may choose to utilize or continue to utilize any or all of the exceptions in the future. As a result, the Company’s stockholders may not have certain of the same protections as a stockholder of other publicly-traded companies and the market price of the Company’s common stock may be adversely affected.

The concentration of ownership with respect to the Company’s common stock also results in there being a limited trading volume, which may make it more difficult for stockholders to sell their shares and increase the price volatility of the Company’s common stock.

As a “smaller reporting company,” the Company may avail itself of reduced disclosure requirements, which may make the Company’s common stock less attractive to investors.

Under applicable SEC rules and regulations, the Company is a “smaller reporting company” and will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” for so long as the market value of the Company’s common stock held by non-affiliates as of the end of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter is less than $250 million. As a “smaller reporting company,” the Company has relied on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies. The Company may continue to rely on such exemptions for so long as the Company remains a “smaller reporting company.” These exemptions include reduced financial disclosure and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. The Company’s reliance on these exemptions may result in the public finding the Company’s common stock to be less attractive and adversely impact the market price of, or trading market for, the Company’s common stock.

The issuance of preferred stock and common stock, and the authority of the Company’s Board of Directors to approve issuances of preferred stock and common stock, could adversely affect the rights of the Company’s stockholders and have an anti-takeover effect.

As permitted by Delaware law, the Company’s Board of Directors is authorized under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to approve the issuance by the Company of up to 200,000 shares of preferred stock, and to designate the relative rights, preferences and limitations of any preferred stock so issued, in each case, without any further action on the part of the Company’s stockholders. Currently, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. In the event that the Company issues preferred stock in the future that has preference over the Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the rights of holders of shares of the Company’s common stock may be adversely affected. In addition, the Company is authorized under its Certificate of Incorporation to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock. There are currently approximately 12.3 million shares of common stock outstanding. Subject to applicable law and the rules and regulations of the NYSE American, the Company’s Board of Directors (or a committee thereof, in the case of shares issued under the Company’s equity-based compensation plan) has the power to approve the issuance of any authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock, and any such issuances, including, without limitation, those under the Company’s equity-based compensation plan or pursuant to any acquisitions consummated by the Company or in connection with the financing thereof, would result in dilution to the Company’s stockholders. These provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation could also delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company or its management, and could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of the Company’s common stock.

General Risks

The Company is subject to risks relating to evaluations of internal control over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, a substantial amount of management time and resources to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In this Report, the Company’s management has provided an assessment as to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In addition, pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. This Report includes such attestation. However, there is no assurance that the Company will continue to timely comply with such requirements nor can there be assurance that significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses will not be identified by management or the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (or, if identified, remedied in a timely fashion or at all), any of which may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company’s compliance efforts will continue to require significant expenditures and devotion of management time, and may divert management’s attention from the Company’s operations. In addition, while businesses acquired during the fiscal year covered by the applicable Annual Report on Form 10-K are permitted to be excluded from the scope of management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and the related auditor attestation for such Annual Report on Form 10-K (as is the case with the exclusion of the businesses acquired by the Company in fiscal 2021 from the scope of management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and the related auditor attestation for this Report), the Company will face challenges and be required to incur expenses in connection with, and devote significant management time to, the internal control over financial reporting of acquired businesses. There is no assurance that any issues, deficiencies or weaknesses identified at acquired businesses will be remedied in a timely or cost-efficient manner or at all.

The Company’s success depends on key personnel, the loss of whom could harm the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company’s business is dependent on the active participation of its executive officers, including Henry M. Nahmad and Tom Marks. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could adversely affect the Company’s business and prospects. In addition, the Company’s success is dependent on its ability to retain and attract additional qualified management and other personnel. Competition for such talent is intense, and the Company may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.

Litigation and legal proceedings, the costs of defending the same and the impact of any finding of liability or damages could adversely impact the Company and its financial condition and operating results.

The Company may from time to time become subject to litigation and other legal proceedings. Litigation and other legal proceedings may require the Company to incur significant expenses, including those relating to legal and other professional fees. In addition, litigation and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and adverse outcomes in litigation or other legal proceedings could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, and operating results.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company’s principal executive offices are located in Miami, Florida. The Company’s principal properties include warehousing and distribution facilities and administrative office space, all of which are leased (generally for terms of three to five years).

At June 30, 2021, the Company had 27 warehousing and distribution facilities and administrative facilities located across 17 U.S. states. Senior management and support staff are located at the Company’s principal executive offices or other administrative offices mostly adjacent to the Company’s warehousing and distribution facilities. The facilities have an aggregate of approximately 330,000 square feet of space. The Company believes that its facilities are sufficient to meet the Company’s present operating needs.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be involved in, or subject to, legal and regulatory claims, proceedings, demands or actions. Litigation is inherently uncertain and the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted or determined in advance. In addition, the Company’s costs of defending against litigation and other proceedings, demands and actions could be material and would generally be payable by the Company regardless of the merits of the claim. As of the date of filing of this Report, the Company is not aware of any pending legal proceedings to which the Company, including any of its subsidiaries, is a party which is expected to be material to the Company.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

The Company’s common stock is traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “EVI.”

As of September 1, 2021, there were approximately 228 holders of record of the Company’s common stock.

The Company did not pay any dividends on its common stock during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 or 2020. The declaration and payment of cash dividends with respect to the Company’s common stock is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors based on the Company’s financial condition and liquidity needs and other factors deemed relevant by the Company’s Board of Directors, and may be subject to restrictions contained in the Company’s debt instruments. As described elsewhere in this Report, including under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of this Report, the Company’s 2018 Credit Agreement contains certain covenants which may, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends, and any future facilities may contain similar or more stringent requirements. The Company’s management does not believe that the covenants contained in the 2018 Credit Agreement currently materially limits the Company’s ability to pay dividends or are reasonably likely to materially limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends in the future. There is no assurance that the Company will pay dividends on its common stock in the future.

See Part III, Item 12 of this Report for information regarding securities authorized for issuance under the Company’s equity-based compensation plans.

The Company does not have in place any formal share repurchase plans or programs. Upon request by a recipient of awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan, the Company may issue shares upon vesting of restricted stock awards or upon issuance of stock awards, net of the statutory withholding requirements that the Company pays on behalf of its employees. For financial statement purposes, the shares withheld are treated as being repurchased by the Company and are reflected as repurchases in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and shareholders’ equity as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. The following table provides information concerning shares of the Company’s common stock treated as repurchased during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 in connection with the issuance of shares upon vesting of restricted stock awards net of statutory withholding requirements:

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares other than shares treated as repurchased upon the vesting of restricted stock awards as described and set forth above.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

General

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in Item 8 of this Report. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” preceding Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

Overview

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a value-added distributor, and provides advisory and technical services. Through its vast sales organization, the Company provides its customers with planning, designing, and consulting services related to their commercial laundry operations. The Company sells and/or leases its customers commercial laundry equipment, specializing in washing, drying, finishing, material handling, water heating, power generation, and water reuse applications. In support of the suite of products it offers, the Company sells related parts and accessories. Additionally, through the Company’s robust network of commercial laundry technicians, the Company provides its customers with installation, maintenance, and repair services.

The Company’s customers include government, institutional, industrial, commercial and retail customers. Product purchases made by customers range from parts and accessories, to single or multiple units of equipment, to large complex systems. The Company also provides its customers with the services described above.

Prior to the completion of the Company’s first acquisition pursuant to its “buy-and-build” growth strategy in October 2016, the Company’s operations related to the activities described above consisted solely of the business and operations of Steiner-Atlantic Corp. (“Steiner-Atlantic”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Beginning in 2015, the Company implemented a “buy-and-build” growth strategy which includes (i) the consideration and pursuit of acquisitions and other strategic transactions which management believes may complement the Company’s existing business or otherwise offer growth opportunities for, or benefit, the Company and (ii) the implementation of a growth culture at acquired businesses based on the exchange of ideas and business concepts among the management teams of the Company and the acquired businesses as well as through certain additional initiatives, which may include investments in new locations, additional product lines, expanded service capabilities and advanced technologies. See “Buy-and-Build Growth Strategy” below and in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information regarding the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy, including information regarding certain acquisitions consummated by the Company since its implementation of the “buy-and-build” growth strategy in 2015.

The Company reports its results of operations through a single reportable segment.

Total revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”) increased by 3% compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”). The increase in revenues during fiscal 2021 are attributable to a combination of increases in revenues at certain of the Company’s legacy businesses and the revenues generated by the businesses acquired by the Company during fiscal 2021, primarily Yankee Equipment Systems, LLC (“YES”), which was acquired during November 2020. The increase in revenues was also attributable to the revenues of businesses acquired by the Company during fiscal 2020 whose results were consolidated in the Company’s financial statements for all of fiscal 2021 as compared to just the period of fiscal 2020 from the respective closing date of the acquisition through the end of fiscal 2020, including primarily Large Equipment, Inc. (d/b/a Laundry Systems of Tennessee) and TN Ozone, Inc. (d/b/a Premier Laundry Solutions and Premier Equipment Rental), which were acquired during January 2020. These increases in revenues were largely offset by a decline in revenues from certain legacy businesses related to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (as further described below).

Net income for fiscal 2021 increased by 982% from fiscal 2020. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to the approximately $7.0 million gain recognized on the forgiveness of the loans (the “PPP Loans”) previously obtained by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) (as described in further detail below under “Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Business), the increase in the Company’s gross margin and a decrease in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses in connection with investments in the Company’s growth strategy.

The Company’s operating expenses consist primarily of (a) selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily salaries, and commissions and marketing expenses that are variable and correlate to changes in sales, (b) expenses related to the operation of warehouse facilities, including a fleet of installation and service vehicles, and facility rent, which are payable mostly under non-cancelable operating leases, and (c) operating expenses at the parent company, including compensation expenses, fees for professional services, expenses associated with being a public company, including increased expenses attributable to the Company’s growth, and expenses in furtherance of the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has been, and continues to be, an unprecedented disruption in the economy and has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the Company’s business and results. Specifically, beginning at the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic disruption caused delays and declines in the placement of customer orders, the completion of equipment and parts installations, and the fulfillment of parts orders. The COVID-19 pandemic, while showing initial signs of recovery earlier in fiscal 2021 has recently had a resurgence with the increased presence and spread of the Delta variant. Accordingly, the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue in the near-term and possibly longer, including, without limitation, if the pandemic increases in size and scope, its duration is prolonged, or, among other matters related thereto, additional governmental actions, including, without limitation, business restrictions, are imposed. In response to the economic and business disruption during 2020, the Company took actions to reduce costs and spending across the organization, including changes to inventory stock levels, renegotiating payment terms with suppliers, and reducing hiring activities. The Company continues to actively monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions, including those that may alter business operations, if required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities or otherwise determined to be advisable by management.

As a precautionary measure in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, during May 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries received a total of twelve PPP Loans in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.9 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company was notified by Fifth Third Bank, N.A., the lender with respect to the PPP Loans, that all twelve of the PPP Loans were fully forgiven. The Company recognized a gain of $7.0 million during fiscal 2021 in connection with the forgiveness of the PPP Loans and the related accrued interest. Additionally, in connection with its acquisition of YES during November 2020, the Company, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, assumed the approximately $916,000 loan previously received by YES under the PPP. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the loan to YES under the PPP was forgiven. The Company did not recognize any gain on extinguishment of this debt, as the seller of YES had agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to any portion of this loan which was not forgiven.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors arising from the COVID-19 pandemic that have impacted, or may negatively impact, the Company’s business and results, including sales and gross margin, in the future include, but are not limited to: potential limitations on the ability of suppliers to manufacture, or the Company’s ability to procure from manufacturers, the products the Company sells, or to meet delivery requirements and commitments; limitations on the ability of the Company’s employees to perform their work due to impacts caused by the pandemic or local, state, federal or foreign orders that may restrict the Company’s operations or the operations of its customers, or require that employees be quarantined; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver products to the Company’s facilities and customers; adverse impacts of the pandemic on certain industries and customers of the Company which operate in those industries, including the hospitality industry; and potential decreased demand for products and services, including potential limitations on the ability of, or adverse changes in the desire of, the Company’s customers to conduct their business, purchase products and services and pay for purchases on a timely basis or at all.

The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and highly uncertain. The Company is unable to determine or predict the nature, duration, or scope of the overall impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition, as such impact will depend in large part on future developments, including the severity and duration of the pandemic (including the Delta variant and any other future variants) and government and other actions taken in response thereto, all of which are highly uncertain. Further, even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of, among other things, any adverse impact that has occurred or may occur in the future in the economy or markets generally, and changes in customer or supplier behavior.

Buy-and Build Growth Strategy

The Company’s acquisitions under its “buy-and-build” growth strategy described above since its implementation in 2015 include, without limitation, those set forth below. The acquired companies distribute commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provide installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry.

•

On October 10, 2016, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Western State Design, LLC, a California-based company, for a purchase price consisting of $18.5 million in cash and 2,044,990 shares of the Company’s common stock.  

•

On October 31, 2017, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Tri-State Technical Services, Inc., a Georgia-based company, for a purchase price consisting of approximately $7.95 million in cash and 338,115 shares of the Company’s common stock.  

•

On February 9, 2018, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Dallas-based companies, Zuf Acquisitions I LLC (d/b/a/ AAdvantage Laundry Systems) and Sky-Rent LP, for total consideration of approximately $20.4 million, consisting of approximately $8.1 million in cash and 348,360 shares of the Company’s common stock.  

•

On September 12, 2018, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Scott Equipment, Inc., a Houston-based company, for approximately $6.5 million in cash and 209,678 shares of the Company’s common stock.  

•

On February 5, 2019, the Company acquired PAC Industries Inc. (“PAC”), a Pennsylvania-based company, for approximately $6.4 million in cash and 179,847 shares of the Company’s common stock.  

•

On November 3, 2020, the Company acquired (the “YES Acquisition”) Yankee Equipment Systems, LLC (“YES”), a New Hampshire-based company, for approximately $5.3 million in cash and 278,385 shares of the Company’s common stock.  

During fiscal 2020, the Company acquired four businesses: Professional Laundry Systems, LLC (“PLS”), which was acquired on August 1, 2019; Large Equipment, Inc. (d/b/a Laundry Systems of Tennessee) and TN Ozone, Inc. (d/b/a Premier Laundry Solutions and Premier Equipment Rental) (collectively “LST”), which were acquired on January 31, 2020; and Commercial Laundry Equipment Company, Inc. (“CLE”), which was acquired on February 28, 2020. The total consideration for the acquisitions completed during fiscal 2020 consisted of $1.6 million in cash (subject to certain working capital and other adjustments), net of $192,000 of cash acquired, the assumption of $129,000 of long-term debt, and the issuance of 132,726 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In addition to the YES Acquisition, during fiscal 2021, the Company acquired (the “ELS Acquisition”) Baystate Business Ventures d/b/a Eastern Laundry Systems (“ELS”), a Massachusetts-based distributor of commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provider of installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry. The acquisition was completed by the Company, indirectly through a wholly-owned subsidiary, which purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of ELS. The total consideration for the transaction consisted of $400,000 in cash, net of $57,000 of cash acquired, and the issuance of 10,726 shares of the Company’s common stock. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of working capital and valuation-related items, the Company recognized a bargain purchase gain of $314,000 in connection with the ELS Acquisition during fiscal 2021. The purchase price allocations are considered preliminary, as the Company is still assessing certain working capital and valuation-related items. Any change to the preliminary estimate of working capital and valuation-related items and the related deferred tax liability, if any, will be recognized as an adjustment to the bargain purchase gain.

See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report for additional information about the acquisitions completed during fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020.

Each acquisition was effected by the Company through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary formed by the Company for the purpose of effecting the transaction, whether by an asset purchase or merger, and operating the acquired business following the transaction. In connection with each transaction, the Company, indirectly through its applicable wholly-owned subsidiary, also assumed certain of the liabilities of the acquired business. The financial position, including assets and liabilities, and results of operations of the acquired businesses following the respective closing dates of the acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Financial Condition

The Company’s total assets increased from $160.7 million at June 30, 2020 to $177.9 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in total assets was primarily attributable to the assets of the businesses acquired by the Company during fiscal 2021 as described above and increased accounts receivable, partially offset by decreases in cash and contract assets. The decrease in contract assets is due in large part to timing on progress billings on large complex laundry projects for divisions of the federal government. The Company’s total liabilities decreased from $72.9 million at June 30, 2020 to $71.1 million at June 30, 2021, primarily due to decreases in long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt, partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, increases in accrued employee expenses, increases in contract liabilities, and increases in operating lease liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash of approximately $6.1 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $9.8 million at June 30, 2020. The decrease in cash was primarily due to cash used for optional debt repayments under the Company’s 2018 Credit Agreement (as defined below), capital expenditures, and cash used to fund the cash consideration paid in connection with the Company’s business acquisitions during fiscal 2021, partially offset by earnings from operations and proceeds from changes in operating assets and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):

For fiscal 2021, operating activities provided cash of approximately $13.7 million compared to approximately $23.1 million in fiscal 2020. The $9.4 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to changes in working capital balances such as accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in earnings from operations.

Investing activities used cash of approximately $7.6 million during fiscal 2021 compared to approximately $4.8 million in fiscal 2020. The $2.9 million increase in cash used by investing activities is due primarily to an increase in cash consideration paid in connection with acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures primarily due to the Company’s rollout of its fleet lease program where most new vehicles obtained by the Company are procured through a lease arrangement in lieu of purchasing such assets.

Financing activities used cash of approximately $9.8 million in fiscal 2021 compared to approximately $13.6 million in fiscal 2020. The cash used by financing activities during fiscal 2021 related to total repayments of debt under the Company’s 2018 Credit Agreement and $853,000 in share repurchases to settle employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted shares or in connection with the grant of stock awards of unrestricted shares.

On November 2, 2018, the Company entered into a syndicated credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) for a five-year revolving credit facility in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million, with an accordion feature to increase the revolving credit facility by up to $40 million for a total of $140 million. A portion of the revolving credit facility is available for swingline loans of up to a sublimit of $5 million and for the issuance of standby letters of credit of up to a sublimit of $10 million.

Borrowings (other than swingline loans) under the 2018 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate, at the Company’s election at the time of borrowing, equal to (a) LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, which is a ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”) or (b) the highest of (i) prime, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, and (iii) the one month LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points (such highest rate, the “Base Rate”), plus a margin that ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Swingline loans bear interest calculated at the Base Rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The 2018 Credit Agreement has a term of five years and matures on November 2, 2023.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including financial covenants requiring the Company to comply with maximum leverage ratios and minimum interest coverage ratios. The 2018 Credit Agreement also contains other provisions which may restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, dispose of or acquire assets or businesses, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments and capital expenditures, pay dividends, repurchase shares and enter into transactions with affiliates. At June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the 2018 Credit Agreement and $30.4 million was available to borrow under the revolving credit facility.

The obligations of the Company under the 2018 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.

On May 21, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries received a total of twelve PPP Loans totaling approximately $6.9 million in principal amount from Fifth Third Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”). The proceeds of the PPP Loans were used primarily for payroll costs. As described above, during the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company was notified by the Lender that all twelve of the PPP Loans were fully forgiven. The Company recognized a gain of $7.0 million during fiscal 2021 in connection with the forgiveness of the PPP Loans and the related accrued interest. Notwithstanding the forgiveness of the PPP Loans, the SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP loan. The Company has not accrued any liability associated with any potential adverse determination of the forgiveness of the PPP Loans which may result from any audit of the PPP Loans if the SBA disagrees with any position taken by management with respect to the loan or forgiveness processes.

As previously described, in addition to the PPP Loans obtained by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries during May 2020, in connection with the YES Acquisition during November 2020, the Company, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, also assumed the approximately $916,000 loan previously obtained by YES under the PPP. The terms and conditions of such PPP loan were substantially similar to those of the PPP Loans obtained by the Company and its other subsidiaries. Under the merger agreement related to the YES Acquisition, the Company was entitled to indemnification for any required repayment of the loan to YES under the PPP. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the loan to YES under the PPP was forgiven by the SBA. The Company determined that the fair value of its right to indemnification was equal to the amount forgiven by the SBA. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize any gain on the extinguishment of this debt.

The Company believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash from operations and funds available under the Company’s 2018 Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operations and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. The Company may also seek to raise funds through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities or the incurrence of additional secured or unsecured indebtedness, including in connection with acquisitions or other transactions consummated by the Company as part of its “buy-and-build” growth strategy.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Revenues for fiscal 2021 increased by approximately $6.2 million (3%) from fiscal 2020. The increase in revenues during fiscal 2021 are attributable to a combination of increases in revenues at certain of the Company’s legacy businesses and the revenues generated by the businesses acquired by the Company during fiscal 2021, primarily YES, which was acquired during November 2020. The increase in revenues was also attributable to the revenues of businesses acquired by the Company during fiscal 2020 whose results were consolidated in the Company’s financial statements for all of fiscal 2021 as compared to just the period of fiscal 2020 from the respective closing date of the acquisition through the end of fiscal 2020, including primarily LST, the businesses of which were acquired during January 2020. These increases in revenues were largely offset by a decline in revenues from certain legacy businesses related to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (as described above).

From time to time the Company enters into longer-term contracts to fulfill large complex laundry projects for divisions of the federal government where the nature of, and competition for, such contracts may result in a lower gross margin as compared to other equipment sales. During fiscal 2021, the Company entered into a number of such lower-margin equipment sales. The Company believes that the increase in equipment sales provides a strong foundation for the Company to further strengthen its customer relationships, including that they may in the future result in higher gross margin opportunities from the sale of parts, accessories, supplies, and technical services related to the equipment. Despite the lower gross margin from such longer-term contracts, the Company believes that the long-term benefit from the increase in its installed equipment base will outweigh the possible short-term impact to gross margin.

Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses

Cost of sales, expressed as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 75.3% in fiscal 2021 from 76.6% in fiscal 2020, representing gross margins of 24.7% in fiscal 2021 and 23.4% in fiscal 2020. The decrease in cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues, and increase in gross margin were primarily attributable to favorable changes in product and customer mix.

Further, as described above, from time to time the Company enters into longer-term contracts, including to fulfill large complex laundry projects for divisions of the federal government. These contracts generally have a lower gross margin compared to other equipment sales and, as a result, adversely impact the Company’s gross margin for periods in which a significant number of these contracts are entered into. However, the Company believes that these contracts will result in higher margin opportunities over the long-term. During fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company entered into a number of longer-term federal government contracts, which adversely impacted the Company’s gross margin for each such period. These longer-term federal government contracts, lowered gross margins by 120 basis points during fiscal 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $4.2 million (8%) in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 23.4% in fiscal 2021 from 22.2% in fiscal 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to (a) operating expenses of acquired businesses, including additional operating expenses at the acquired businesses in pursuit of future growth and in connection with the Company’s optimization initiatives, (b) increases in operating expenses and investments at the parent company level in connection with the Company’s optimization initiatives, including expenses related to the consolidation of the Company’s operations, the modernization of the Company’s operations through the implementation of advanced technologies, including a new ERP software system, customer relations management system, and a completely digital sales and service operating platform, (c) increased operating expenses in support of the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy, (d) increases in operating expenses at the parent company level in connection with the Company’s growth, including greater accounting fees and expenses, legal fees, and insurance costs, and (e) an increase in non-cash amortization expense related to the intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisitions, an increase in depreciation expense and an increase in non-cash share-based compensation.

Interest and other expense, net decreased by approximately $1.1 million (78%) in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020. The decrease is due to a decrease in interest expense of $797,000, resulting from a decrease in average outstanding debt and a decrease in interest rates under the 2018 Credit Agreement, and the $314,000 bargain purchase gain recognized in connection with the Company’s acquisition of ELS during January 2021.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 15.2% for fiscal 2021 compared to 42.5% in fiscal 2020. The decrease in the effective income tax rate in fiscal 2021 reflects the net impact of permanent book-tax differences resulting primarily from the gain recognized on the forgiveness of the PPP loans during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and nondeductible compensation.

Inflation

Inflation did not have a significant effect on the Company’s operations during either of fiscal 2021 or 2020.

On February 5, 2019, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PAC Industries, entered into two lease agreements pursuant to which it leases a total of 29,500 square feet of warehouse and office space from an affiliate of Frank Costabile, former President of PAC Industries, and Rocco Costabile, former Director of Finance of PAC Industries. Monthly base rental payments total $14,600 during the initial terms of the leases. In addition to base rent, PAC Industries is responsible under the leases for costs related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, repairs and insurance. Each lease has an initial term of four years and provides for two successive three-year renewal terms at the option of the Company. Payments under these leases totaled approximately $180,000 and $176,000 during fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On November 3, 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, YES, entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which it leases a total of 12,500 square feet of warehouse and office space from an affiliate of Peter Limoncelli, President of YES. Monthly base rental payments total $11,000 during the initial term of the lease. In addition to base rent, YES is responsible under the lease for costs related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, repairs and insurance. The lease has an initial term of three years and provides for three successive three-year renewal terms at the option of the Company. Payments under this lease totaled approximately $92,000 during fiscal 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company makes estimates and assumptions, including those that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Estimates and assumptions made may not prove to be correct, and actual results may differ from the estimates. The accounting policies that the Company has identified as critical to its business operations and to an understanding of the Company’s financial statements are set forth below. The critical accounting policies discussed below are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the Company’s accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.

Revenue Recognition

Performance Obligations and Revenue Over Time

Revenue primarily consists of revenues from the sale or leasing of commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment and steam and hot water boilers manufactured by others; the sale of related replacement parts and accessories; and the provision of installation and maintenance services. The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of equipment and parts to customers. Therefore, the majority of the Company’s contracts are short-term in nature and have a single performance obligation (to deliver products), and the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer. Other contracts contain a combination of equipment sales and services expected to be performed in the near-term, which services are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Significant judgment may be required by management to identify the distinct performance obligations within each contract. Revenue is recognized on these contracts when control transfers to the Company’s customers via shipment of products or provision of services and the Company has the right to receive consideration for these products and services. Additionally, from time to time, the Company enters into longer-termed contracts which provide for the sale of equipment by the Company and the provision by the Company of related installation and construction services. The installation on these types of contracts is usually completed within six to twelve months. The Company recognizes a portion of its revenue over time using the cost-to-cost measure of progress, which measures a contract’s progress toward completion based on the ratio of actual contract costs incurred to date to the Company’s estimated costs at completion. Significant judgment may be required by management in the cost estimation process for these contracts, which is based on the knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, subcontractors and financial professionals. Changes in job performance and job conditions are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts and the Company’s revenue recognition. The determination of the total estimated cost and progress toward completion requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Total estimated costs to complete projects include various costs such as direct labor, material and subcontract costs. Changes in these estimates can have a significant impact on the revenue recognized each period. From time to time, the Company also enters into maintenance and service contracts. These longer-term contracts, maintenance and service contracts have a single performance obligation where revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost measure of progress, which best depicts the continuous transfer of control of goods or services to the customer.

The Company measures revenue, including shipping and handling fees charged to customers, as the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for its products or services, net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Costs associated with shipping and handling activities performed after the customer obtains control are accounted for as fulfillment costs.

Revenue from products transferred to customers at a point in time is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with the Company’s customer are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control upon shipment.

Revenues that are recognized over time include (i) longer-termed contracts that include an equipment purchase with installation and construction services, (ii) maintenance contracts, and (iii) service contracts.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets and liabilities are presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts resulting from sales under longer-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. As noted above, the cost estimation process for these contracts may require significant judgment by management. The Company typically receives progress payments on sales under longer-term contracts as work progresses, although for some contracts the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment. Contract assets also include retainage. Retainage represents a portion of the contract amount that has been billed, but for which the contract allows the customer to retain a portion of the billed amount (generally, from 5% to 20% of contract billings) until final contract settlement. Retainage amounts are generally classified as current assets within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Retainage that has been billed, but is not due until completion of performance and acceptance by customers, is generally expected to be collected within one year. Contract liabilities consist of advanced payments, billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue.

Goodwill

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit's carrying value is compared to its fair value. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. This step compares the current implied goodwill in the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill, an impairment is recorded for the excess. The identification and measurement of goodwill impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit and involves uncertainty because management must use judgment in determining appropriate assumptions to be used in the measurement of fair value. The Company performed its annual impairment test on April 1 and determined there was no impairment.

Customer Relationships, Tradenames and Other Intangible Assets

Customer relationships, tradenames, and other intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. These assets, except for tradenames, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future periods to be benefited (5-10 years). The estimates of fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangibles and long-lived assets are based on information available as of the date of the assessment and take into account management’s assumptions about expected future cash flows and other valuation techniques. The Company reviews the recoverability of intangible assets that are amortized based primarily upon an analysis of undiscounted cash flows from the intangible assets. In the event the expected future net cash flows become less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss would be recorded in the period the determination is made based on the fair value of the related assets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

Significant judgment is required in developing the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. Management evaluates the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and adjusts its valuation allowance when it believes that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report for additional information regarding income taxes.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report for a description of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market valuations resulting from interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and equity price risk. The Company’s primary market risk is interest rate risk.

The Company’s indebtedness subjects the Company to interest rate risk. Interest rates are subject to the influence of economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also to the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. The nature and timing of any changes in such policies or general economic conditions and the effect they may have on the Company are unpredictable. The Company’s indebtedness may also have other important impacts on the Company, including that the Company will be required to utilize cash flow to service the debt, indebtedness may make the Company more vulnerable to economic downturns, and the Company’s indebtedness subjects the Company to covenants, which may place restrictions on its operations and activities, including its ability to pay dividends and take certain other actions. Interest on borrowings under the Company’s 2018 Credit Agreement accrue at a rate, at the Company’s election at the time of borrowing, equal to (a) LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, which is a ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”) or (b) the highest of (i) prime, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points (such highest rate, the “Base Rate”), plus a margin that ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $12.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement. Interest on such borrowings accrued at a weighted average rate of 1.33%. Based on the amounts outstanding at June 30, 2021, a hypothetical 1% increase in daily interest rates would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by approximately $120,000.

All of the Company’s export sales require the customer to make payment in United States dollars. Accordingly, foreign sales may be affected by the strength of the United States dollar relative to the currencies of the countries in which the Company’s customers are located, as well as the strength of the economies of the countries in which the Company’s customers are located. The Company has, at times in the past, paid certain suppliers in Euros. The Company had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2021 or 2020.

The Company’s cash is maintained in bank accounts which bear interest at prevailing interest rates. At June 30, 2021, bank deposits exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Shareholders and Board of Directors

EVI Industries, Inc.

Miami, Florida

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EVI Industries, Inc., formerly EnviroStar, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and our report dated September 13, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Notes 2 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases as of July 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue Recognition – Estimated Costs to Complete

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes a portion of its revenue over time using the cost-to-cost measure of progress, which measures a contract’s progress toward completion based on the ratio of actual contract costs incurred to date to the Company’s estimated costs at completion. The cost estimation process for these contracts is based on the knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, subcontractors and financial professionals. Changes in job performance and job conditions are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts and the Company’s revenue recognition.

We identified the determination of the total estimated cost and progress toward completion of revenue contracts as a critical audit matter. These elements require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Total estimated costs to complete projects include various costs such as direct labor, material and subcontract costs. Changes in these estimates can have a significant impact on the revenue recognized each period. Auditing these elements involved auditor judgment in evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assumptions and estimates over the duration of these contracts.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

•

Testing the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of certain controls related to estimated costs to complete, including controls over: (i) development of project estimates and review of key cost inputs, (ii) ongoing assessment and revisions to project estimates, and (iii) ongoing review of project status including nature of activities to complete open projects.   

•

Evaluating the reasonableness of a sample of project estimates for projects completed during the year through a retrospective review against actual performance at project completion.   

•

Assessing the reasonableness of the estimated costs to complete for a sample of open projects through: (i) evaluating the reasonableness of project budgets and the nature of costs required to complete open projects, (ii) assessing the status of completion of respective projects through testing of a sample of project costs incurred to date, (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of project status by performing inquiries of project managers, confirming with subcontractors and assessing the nature of activities required to complete open projects, and (iv) performing retrospective review for open projects and investigating budget to actual variances (if any).   

•

Assessing the reasonableness of changes in estimated costs to complete for a sample of contracts during the year and investigating reasons for changes in expected costs and project margins.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has been, and continues to be, an unprecedented disruption in the economy and has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the Company’s business and results. Specifically, beginning at the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic disruption caused delays and declines in the placement of customer orders, the completion of equipment and parts installations, and the fulfillment of parts orders. The COVID-19 pandemic, while showing initial signs of recovery earlier in fiscal 2021 has recently had a resurgence with the increased presence and spread of the Delta variant. Accordingly, the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue in the near-term and possibly longer, including, without limitation, if the pandemic increases in size and scope, its duration is prolonged, or, among other matters related thereto, additional governmental actions, including, without limitation, business restrictions, are imposed. In response to the economic and business disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, the Company took actions to reduce costs and spending across the organization, including changes to inventory stock levels, renegotiating payment terms with suppliers, and reducing hiring activities. The Company continues to actively monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions, including those that may alter business operations, if required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities or otherwise determined to be advisable by management.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors arising from the COVID-19 pandemic that have impacted, or may negatively impact, the Company’s business and results, including sales and gross margin, in the future include, but are not limited to: potential limitations on the ability of suppliers to manufacture, or the Company’s ability to procure from manufacturers, the products the Company sells, or to meet delivery requirements and commitments; limitations on the ability of the Company’s employees to perform their work due to impacts caused by the pandemic or local, state, federal or foreign orders that may restrict the Company’s operations or the operations of its customers, or require that employees be quarantined; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver products to the Company’s facilities and customers; adverse impacts of the pandemic on certain industries and customers of the Company which operate in those industries, including the hospitality industry; and potential decreased demand for products and services, including potential limitations on the ability of, or adverse changes in the desire of, the Company’s customers to conduct their business, purchase products and services and pay for purchases on a timely basis or at all.

The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and highly uncertain. The Company is unable to determine or predict the nature, duration, or scope of the overall impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition, as such impact will depend in large part on future developments, including the severity and duration of the pandemic (including the Delta variant and any other future variants) and government and other actions taken in response thereto, all of which are highly uncertain. Further, even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of, among other things, any adverse impact that has occurred or may occur in the future in the economy or markets generally, and changes in customer or supplier behavior.

As a precautionary measure in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, during May 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries received a total of twelve PPP Loans in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.9 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company was notified by Fifth Third Bank, N.A., the lender with respect to the PPP Loans, that all twelve of the PPP Loans were fully forgiven. See Note 14, “Debt,” for further discussion regarding the PPP Loans.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EVI Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when a sales arrangement with a customer exists (sales contract, purchase or sales order, or other indication of an arrangement), the transaction price is fixed and determinable, and the Company has satisfied the performance obligation(s) per the sales arrangement.

Performance Obligations and Revenue Over Time

Revenue primarily consists of revenues from the sale or leasing of commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment and steam and hot water boilers manufactured by others; the sale of related replacement parts and accessories; and the provision of installation and maintenance services. The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of equipment and parts to customers. Therefore, the majority of the Company’s contracts are short-term in nature and have a single performance obligation (to deliver products), which is satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer. Other contracts contain a combination of equipment sales with a service such as connection of the equipment, which is expected to be performed in the near-term. Such services are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Significant judgment may be required by management to identify the distinct performance obligations within each contract. Revenue is recognized on these contracts when control transfers to the Company’s customers via shipment of products or provision of services and the Company has the right to receive consideration for these products and services. Additionally, from time to time, the Company enters into longer-termed contracts which provide for the sale of equipment by the Company and the provision by the Company of related installation and construction services. The installation on these types of contracts is usually completed within six to twelve months. The Company recognizes a portion of its revenue over time using the cost-to-cost measure of progress, which measures a contract’s progress toward completion based on the ratio of actual contract costs incurred to date to the Company’s estimated costs at completion. Significant judgment may be required by management in the cost estimation process for these contracts, which is based on the knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, subcontractors and financial professionals. Changes in job performance and job conditions are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts and the Company’s revenue recognition. The determination of the total estimated cost and progress toward completion requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Total estimated costs to complete projects include various costs such as direct labor, material and subcontract costs. Changes in these estimates can have a significant impact on the revenue recognized each period. From time to time, the Company also enters into maintenance contracts and ad hoc maintenance and installation service contracts. These longer-term contracts, and maintenance and service contracts have a single performance obligation where revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost measure of progress, which best depicts the continuous transfer of control of goods or services to the customer.

The Company measures revenue, including shipping and handling fees charged to customers, as the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for its goods or services, net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Costs associated with shipping and handling activities performed after the customer obtains control are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are not promised services that have to be further evaluated under revenue recognition standards.

Revenue from products transferred to customers at a point in time include commercial and vended laundry parts and equipment sales and accounted for approximately 82% of the Company’s revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 and 87% of the Company’s revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Revenue from products transferred to customers at a point in time is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with the Company’s customer are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control upon shipment.

The Company’s products are typically sold with a manufacturer’s warranty. Accordingly, warranty expense and product returns have not been significant.

Revenues that are recognized over time include (i) longer-termed contracts that include equipment purchase with installation and construction services, (ii) maintenance contracts, and (iii) service contracts. Revenue from products and services that are recognized over time accounted for approximately 18% of the Company’s revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 and 13% of the Company’s revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets and liabilities are presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts resulting from sales under longer-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. As noted above, the cost estimation process for these contracts may require significant judgment by management. The Company typically receives progress payments on sales under longer-term contracts as work progresses, although for certain contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment. Contract assets also include retainage. Retainage represents a portion of the contract amount that has been billed, but for which the contract allows the customer to retain a portion of the billed amount (generally, from 5% to 20% of contract billings) until final contract settlement. Retainage amounts are generally classified as current assets within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Retainage that has been billed, but is not due until completion of performance and acceptance by customers, is generally expected to be collected within one year. Contract liabilities consist of advanced payments, billings in excess of costs incurred and deferred revenue.

Costs, estimated earnings and billings on longer-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 consisted of the following (in thousands):

These amounts are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the following captions (in thousands):

Contract liabilities are generally associated with contracts with durations of less than one year. Accordingly, such amounts are expected to be realized during the subsequent year.

The Company does not account for significant financing components if the period between the time when the transfer of the product or service to the customer occurs and when the customer pays for that service or product will be one year or less. The Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected period of one year or less or performance obligations for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount that it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit's carrying value is compared to its fair value. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. This step compares the current implied goodwill in the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill, an impairment is recorded for the excess. The identification and measurement of goodwill impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit and involves uncertainty because management must use judgment in determining appropriate assumptions to be used in the measurement of fair value. The Company performed its annual impairment test on April 1, 2021 and determined there was no impairment.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under what management believes to be customary trade terms. Invoices are typically due upon receipt, however, the Company may grant extended payment terms, typically 30 days, for certain customers. The Company sells its products primarily to hospitals, nursing homes, government institutions, laundry plants, hotels, motels, vended laundry facilities and distributors and dry cleaning stores and chains. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and depending on the terms of credit, the amount of the credit granted and management’s history with a customer, the Company may require the customer to grant a security interest in the purchased equipment as collateral for the receivable. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine whether it is probable that any amounts are impaired. The Company includes any balances that are deemed probable to be impaired in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. If customary attempts to collect a receivable are not successful, the receivable is then written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.0 million at June 30, 2021 and $820,000 at June 30, 2020. Actual write-offs may vary from the recorded allowance.

Cash

The Company has not experienced any losses in its cash accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

Inventories

Inventories consist principally of equipment inventories and spare part inventories. Equipment inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on the specific identification method, or net realizable value. Spare part inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments are recorded in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations.

Equipment, Improvements and Depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on straight-line methods over useful lives of five to seven years for furniture and equipment and the shorter of ten years or the remaining lease term (including renewal periods that are deemed reasonably assured) for leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Software Capitalization

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition and development of internal use software, including implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement, during the application development stages of projects. The Company amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, typically seven years. Costs incurred during the preliminary project or the post-implementation/operation stages of the project are expensed as incurred. Capitalized computer software, included as a component of equipment and improvements, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, net of accumulated amortization, was $343,000 and $152,000 at June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Computer software amortization expense was $29,000 in fiscal 2021. There was no related amortization expense in fiscal 2020. Amortization of capitalized software is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Customer-Related Intangibles, Tradenames and Other Intangible Assets

Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful life while indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill are not amortized. Customer-related intangibles, non-compete, and other finite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future periods to be benefited (5-10 years). The estimates of fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangibles and long-lived assets are based on information available as of the date of the assessment and takes into account management’s assumptions about expected future cash flows and other valuation techniques. Amortization of finite-lived intangibles is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. The Company performed its annual impairment test on April 1, 2021 and determined there was no impairment.

Asset Impairments

The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The Company has concluded that there was no impairment of long-lived assets in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 or the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. Estimates which may be particularly significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements include those relating to the determination of impairment of assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), the useful life of property and equipment, net realizable value of inventory, the residual value of leased equipment, the recoverability of deferred income tax assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, intangible assets, estimates to complete on contracts where revenue is recognized over time, the carrying value of inventories and long-lived assets, the timing of revenue recognition, and sales returns and allowances. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the recognition of revenues and expenses and the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Assumptions and estimates may, however, prove to have been incorrect, and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Shares of the Company’s common stock subject to unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because these awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends paid prior to forfeiture of the restricted stock, if any, irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. During fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company granted restricted stock awards of 8,624 and 187,169 shares, respectively, and 204,014 and 28,110 restricted stock units, respectively, under the EVI Industries, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (see Note 20). During fiscal 2020, the Company also granted stock awards (not subject to forfeiture) of 13,550 shares of the Company’s common stock (5,262 of which shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations). Shares of restricted stock are deemed to constitute a second class of stock for accounting purposes. Basic and diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 are computed as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

At June 30, 2021, other than 866,970 unvested shares subject to restricted stock awards, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding. The remaining 306,202 shares of restricted common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their impact was anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2020, other than 735,040 shares subject to restricted stock awards, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding. The remaining 307,790 shares of restricted common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.

Supplier Concentration

The Company purchases laundry, dry cleaning equipment, boilers and other products from a number of manufacturers and suppliers. Purchases from three manufacturers accounted for a total of approximately 62% of the Company’s purchases for fiscal 2021 and 63% of the Company’s purchases for fiscal 2020.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising as of the first date an advertisement is run. The Company incurred approximately $435,000 and $377,000 of advertising costs for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are capitalized to inventories and relieved through cost of sales as inventories are sold. Shipping and handling costs associated with the delivery of products are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Fair Value of Certain Current Assets and Current Liabilities

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.  

•

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. This includes dealer and broker quotations, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.  

•

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.  

The Company has no assets or liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during fiscal 2021 or fiscal 2020, except for certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination (as described in Note 3).

The Company’s cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at cost, which approximated estimated fair value, using Level 1 inputs. Cash is maintained with various high-quality financial institutions and have original maturities of three months or less. Accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of such accounts. The fair value of the Company’s indebtedness was estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for those or similar debt instruments using applicable interest rates as of June 30, 2021 and approximated the carrying value of such debt because it accrues interest at variable rates that are repriced frequently. This approximates fair value based on the variable interest rate.

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits represent advances paid by customers when placing orders for equipment with the Company.

Net Investment in Sales Type Leases

The Company derives a portion of its revenue from leasing arrangements. Such arrangements provide for monthly payments covering the equipment sales, maintenance, and interest. These arrangements meet the criteria to be accounted for as sales type leases. Accordingly, the equipment sale is recognized upon delivery of the system and acceptance by the customer. Upon the recognition of revenue, an asset is established for the investment in sales type leases. Maintenance revenue and interest are recognized monthly over the lease term.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

Judgment is required in developing the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. Management evaluates the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and adjusts the valuation allowance when it believes that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. There were no valuation allowance adjustments during fiscal 2021 or fiscal 2020.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately reflect actual outcomes. The Company does not believe that there are any material unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2021 or 2020 related to tax positions taken on its income tax returns. The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of interest expense and general and administrative expense, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations.

The CARES Act, among its other provisions, includes tax provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of employer’s social security payments, net operating loss (“NOL”) utilization and carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property (QIP), and financing options. With the exception of the forgiveness of debt from the PPP Loans initiated under the CARES Act, the Company’s income tax provision for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 was not materially impacted by the provisions of the CARES Act.

Leases

Adoption of New Lease Standard

On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), which, among other things, requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on their balance sheets and disclose certain additional key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right of use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are required to be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective transition approach, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption without restatement of prior periods. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 are presented under the new standard. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment recorded on July 1, 2019.

The Company elected the package of transition practical expedients for expired or existing contracts, which does not require reassessment of: (1) whether any of the Company's contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs.

The primary impact for the Company was the balance sheet recognition of ROU assets (operating lease assets) and lease liabilities for operating leases as a lessee. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or cash flows of the Company. See Note 9, “Leases,” for further discussion regarding the Company’s adoption of the new lease accounting standard.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other specified instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. The guidance must be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for interim periods within those fiscal years (the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The new guidance provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include: contract modifications, hedging relationships, and the sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. Entities may apply the provisions of the new standard as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made. The provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be completed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which will eliminate certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intra-period tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax and the evaluation of a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this ASU; however, the Company does not expect that its adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that other issued accounting standards and updates which are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

3. Acquisitions

YES Acquisition

On November 3, 2020, the Company acquired Yankee Equipment Systems, Inc. (“YES”), pursuant to a merger whereby YES merged with and into, and became, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “YES Acquisition”). YES is a New Hampshire-based distributor of commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provider of installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry. This acquisition expanded the Company’s footprint in the Northeast region of the United States. The consideration paid by the Company in connection with the merger consisted of $5.3 million in cash and 278,385 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company funded the cash consideration with borrowings under its credit facility. Fees and expenses related to the YES Acquisition, consisting primarily of legal and other professional fees, totaled approximately $144,000 and are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2021. The total purchase price for accounting purposes was $13.8 million, which included cash acquired of $792,000.

The YES Acquisition was treated for accounting purposes as a purchase of YES using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate consideration in the YES Acquisition was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, in each case, based on their respective fair values as of the closing date, with the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired being allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. The computation of the purchase price consideration and the preliminary allocation of the consideration to the net assets acquired are presented in the following tables (in thousands):

(a) Includes $5.3 million paid net of $792,000 of cash acquired.

(b) Calculated as 278,385 shares of the Company’s common stock, multiplied by $30.61, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date.
