Note (1) - General: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EVI Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X related to interim period financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include certain information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are necessary in order to state fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position, shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The June 30, 2023 balance sheet information contained herein was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and assumptions made may not prove to be correct, and actual results could differ from the estimates.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a value-added distributor, and provides advisory and technical services. Through its 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 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.

The Company’s growth strategy includes organic growth initiatives and business acquisitions pursuant to the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy.

Note (2) – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

Note (3) – Recently Issued Accounting Guidance: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 are 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 was required to be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. The Company adopted this ASU effective July 1, 2023, the first day of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.  As a result, the consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 are presented under the new standard, while the comparative prior year period is not adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with the historical accounting policy. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Trade receivables as of September 30, 2023 were $47.8 million, net of an allowance of $2.0 million.

The Company measures the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Trade receivables are generally pooled based on the type of transaction generating the trade receivable. The Company establishes an estimate for the allowance for credit losses resulting from the failure of its clients to make required payments by applying an aging schedule to pools of assets. The Company generally monitors macroeconomic indicators to assess whether adjustments are necessary to reflect current conditions.

Management does not believe that accounting standards and updates which have been issued but are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Note (4) – Acquisitions:

On September 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of ALVF, Inc. (dba ALCO Washer Center) (“ALCO”), a Pennsylvania based distributor of commercial laundry products and a provider of related technical installation and maintenance services to the on-premise and vended laundry segments of the commercial laundry industry. The consideration paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition consisted of $987,000 in cash and 8,621 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an acquisition date fair value of approximately $229,000. Fees and expenses related to the acquisition, consisting primarily of legal and other professional fees, were not material and are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The acquisition was treated for accounting purposes as a purchase of ALCO using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), pursuant to which the consideration paid by the Company 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 goodwill. The Company allocated $792,000 to goodwill, which is expected to be amortized and deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. Goodwill is attributable primarily to the assembled workforce, as well as the expected benefits from the increased scale of the Company as a result of the acquisition. The financial position, including assets and liabilities, of ALCO is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and the results of operations of ALCO since the September 1, 2023 closing date are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Note (5) - 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 and restricted stock units are considered participating securities because they contain a non-forfeitable right to cash dividends (in the case of restricted stock awards) or dividend equivalents (in the case of restricted stock units) paid prior to vesting or forfeiture, if any, irrespective of whether the awards or units ultimately vest. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are computed as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

At September 30, 2023 and 2022, other than 216,203 shares and 1,758,733 shares, respectively, of common stock subject to unvested restricted stock awards or restricted stock units, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

Note (6) – Debt: Long-term debt as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company is party, as borrower, to a syndicated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which allows for borrowings 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 Credit Agreement bear interest, at a rate, at the Company’s election at the time of borrowing, equal to (a) the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (the “BSBY rate”) plus a margin that ranges between 1.25% and 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 BSBY rate plus 100 basis points (such highest rate, the “Base Rate”), plus a margin that ranges between 0.25% and 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Swingline loans generally bear interest at the Base Rate plus a margin that ranges between 0.25% and 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is May 6, 2027.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including financial covenants requiring the Company to comply with maximum leverage ratios and minimum interest coverage ratios. The 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 September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement and $55.1 million was available to borrow under the revolving credit facility.

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets herein approximates its fair value since it bears interest at variable rates approximating market rates.

The obligations of the Company under the 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.

Note (7) - Leases:

Company as Lessee

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had 32 facilities, consisting of warehouse facilities and administrative offices, financed under operating leases with lease term expirations between 2023 and 2030. Operating lease cost consists of monthly rental payments under the terms of the Company’s lease agreements recognized on a straight-line basis. Short-term lease costs are not material.

The following table provides details of the Company’s future minimum lease payments under operating lease liabilities recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023. The table below does not include commitments that are contingent on events or other factors that are currently uncertain or unknown.

The table below presents additional information related to the Company’s operating leases (in thousands):

The table below presents lease-related terms and discount rates as of September 30, 2023:

The table below presents supplemental cash flow information related to the Company’s long-term operating lease liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Company as Lessor

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

The future minimum lease payments receivable for sales type leases are as follows (in thousands):

* Excludes residual values of $2.9 million.

The total net investments in sales type leases, including stated residual values, as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 was $9.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively. The current portion of $1.6 million is included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, and the long term portion of $7.5 million and $7.4 million is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Note (8) - Income Taxes: Income taxes are recorded in the Company’s quarterly financial statements based on the Company’s estimated annual effective income tax rate, subject to adjustment for discrete events, should they occur.

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company had net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $5.0 million. Consistent with the guidance of the FASB regarding accounting for income taxes, the Company regularly estimates its ability to recover deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reduce the balance to amounts expected to be recoverable. This evaluation includes the consideration of several factors, including an estimate of the likelihood of generating sufficient taxable income in future periods over which temporary differences reverse, the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities, past and projected taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. As of September 30, 2023, management believed that it was more-likely-than-not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets over the periods during which temporary differences reverse.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company’s accounting for income taxes in accordance with this standard did not result in a material adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act includes the largest-ever U.S. investment committed to combat climate change, allocating $369 billion to energy security and clean energy programs over the next 10 years, including provisions incentivizing manufacturing of clean energy equipment. Starting on January 1, 2023, the IR Act imposed a 15% alternative minimum tax (AMT) on corporations with book income in excess of $1 billion and a 1% federal excise tax on certain stock repurchases. The Company is not expected to be subject to the new AMT requirements and the 1% federal excise tax imposed by the IR Act is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company was subject to potential federal and state tax examinations for the tax years including and subsequent to 2019.

Note (9) – Equity Plans and Dividends:

Equity Incentive Plan

In November 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). During December 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Plan to 3,000,000 shares. The fair value of awards granted under the Plan is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no restricted stock awards or restricted stock units granted under the Plan. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, restricted stock awards of a total of 222,672 shares and 93,789 restricted stock units were granted under the Plan. There were no restricted stock awards forfeited during either the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. There were 12,533 and 376 restricted stock units forfeited during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, non-cash share-based compensation expense awards granted under the Plan totaled $1.9 million and $680,000, respectively. Included within the non-cash share-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 is an additional expense of $1.2 million related to an acceleration in the requisite vesting period of 120,851 restricted stock awards and 30,000 restricted stock units, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $18.4 million and $9.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, respectively, granted under the Plan, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 14.37 years and 10.31 years, respectively.

The following is a summary of non-vested restricted stock activity as of, and for the three months ended, September 30, 2023:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

During 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the ESPP allows eligible employees the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a 5% discount. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods ending on December 31 and June 30 of each year. No shares were issued under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan during the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

Dividends

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 results, including, but not limited to, cash flow generated by operations and profitability, prospects and liquidity needs and other factors deemed relevant by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company has not historically paid regular dividends on its common stock. However, the Company has from time to time paid special cash dividends on its common stock. The Company did not pay any dividends on its common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

On October 4, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.28 per share, which was paid on October 26, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 16, 2023. Future dividends and changes in dividend rates are at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and depend upon factors including, but not limited to, cash flow generated by operations, profitability, financial condition, cash requirements, and future prospects.

The payment of dividends, if any, in the future will be in the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, as described above. The payment of dividends may also 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 2 of this Report, the Company’s 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.

Note (10) – Transactions with Related Parties: Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries lease warehouse and office space from one or more of the principals or former principals of those subsidiaries. These leases include the following:

On October 10, 2016, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Western State Design, entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which it leases 17,600 square feet of warehouse and office space from an affiliate of Dennis Mack, a director and Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy of the Company, and Tom Marks, Executive Vice President, Business Development and President of the West Region of the Company. The lease had an initial term of five years and provides for two successive three-year renewal terms at the option of the Company. Monthly base rental payments were $12,000 during the initial term of the lease. The Company exercised its option to renew the lease for the first three-year renewal term. Base rent for the first renewal term is $19,000 per month. In addition to base rent, Western State Design is responsible under the lease for costs related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, repairs and insurance.

Each lease had an initial term of five years and provides for two successive three-year renewal terms at the option of the Company. The Company exercised its option to renew the leases for the first three-year renewal term. Base rent for the first renewal term is $25,000. In addition to such leases, since May 1, 2023, Tri-State Technical Services has also leased an additional 50,000 square feet of space from Mr. Stephenson. Monthly base rental payments for the additional space total $15,000. The term of this lease will expire upon the expiration of the other leases with Mr. Stephenson described above. In addition to base rent, Tri-State is responsible under the leases for costs related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, repairs and insurance. Payments under these leases totaled approximately $119,000 and $63,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On November 1, 2018, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AAdvantage Laundry Systems, entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which it leases warehouse and office space from an affiliate of Mike Zuffinetti, former Chief Executive Officer of AAdvantage. Monthly base rental payments under this lease were $26,000 initially. Pursuant to the lease agreement, on January 1, 2019, the lease expanded to cover additional warehouse space and, in connection therewith, monthly base rental payments under this lease increased to $36,000. In addition to base rent, AAdvantage is responsible under the lease for costs related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, repairs and insurance. The lease had an initial term of five years and provides for two successive three-year renewal terms at the option of the Company. The Company expects to exercise its option to renew this lease for the first three-year renewal term and is in the process of finalizing the terms. Payments under the lease totaled approximately $108,000 during each of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

On November 3, 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Yankee Equipment Systems, 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 Yankee Equipment Systems.

The lease had an initial term of three years and provides for three successive three-year renewal terms at the option of the Company. The Company has exercised its option to renew this lease for the first three-year renewal term. Base rent for the first year of the renewal term is $12,500 per month. Payments under this lease totaled approximately $38,000 and $36,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note (11) – Commitments and Contingencies: In the ordinary course of business, certain of the Company’s contracts require the Company to provide performance and payment bonds related to projects in process. These bonds are intended to provide a guarantee to the customer that the Company will perform under the terms of the contract and that the Company will pay subcontractors and vendors. If the Company fails to perform under the contract or pay subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. The Company is required to reimburse the surety for expenses or outlays it incurs. No such performance or payment bonds were outstanding at September 30, 2023 or June 30, 2023.

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, as well as damages or other payments. 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.

Note (12) – Goodwill: The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows (in thousands):

(1) Relates to the acquisition of ALCO, which was consummated during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as described in Note 4, “Acquisitions.”

Company Overview

EVI Industries, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), 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.

The Company’s operating expenses consist primarily of (a) selling, general and administrative expenses, which are comprised primarily of 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, other expenses associated with being a public company, and expenses in furtherance of the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy.

Growth Strategy

During 2015, the Company implemented a “buy-and-build” growth strategy. 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 generally seeks to structure acquisitions to include both cash and stock consideration. Acquisitions are effected through a wholly-owned subsidiary which acquires the business or assets of the acquired company, whether by an asset purchase or merger, and operates the acquired business following the transaction. In connection with each transaction, the Company, indirectly through its applicable wholly-owned subsidiary, also assumes 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. As described in greater detail in Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on September 1, 2023, the Company acquired ALVF, Inc. (dba ALCO Washer Center) (“ALCO”), a Pennsylvania based distributor of commercial laundry products and a provider of related technical installation and maintenance services to the on-premise and vended laundry segments of the commercial laundry industry, for consideration consisting of $987,000 in cash and 8,621 shares of the Company’s common stock. The financial position, including assets and liabilities, of ALCO is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and the results of operations of ALCO since the September 1, 2023 closing date are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

The “build” component of the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth 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 initiatives, which may include investments in additional sales and service personnel, new product lines, enhanced service operations and capabilities, new and improved facilities, and advanced technologies.

The Company pursues market share growth using a variety of strategies aimed at increasing the installed base of the wide range of commercial laundry equipment the Company represents. Certain market share growth tactics may, from time to time, result in lower gross margins. However, the Company believes that a greater installed base of equipment strengthens the Company’s existing customer relationships and may lead to increases in the total number of customers, consequently creating a larger and stronger customer base to which the Company may sell products and services. These may include the sale or provision of certain higher margin products and services and any additional products and services which the Company may offer or sell from time to time as a result of any business acquisitions, the sale or lease of complementary products, and expansion of its service operations. From time to time, the Company also enters into longer-term contracts, including 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. Despite the potential for a lower gross margin from such longer-term contracts, the Company believes that the long-term benefit from the increase in its installed equipment will outweigh the possible short-term impact to gross margin.

Further, as a value-added distributor and a provider of technical services in the commercial laundry industry, the Company partners with its customers to plan, design, install, and maintain their commercial laundry operations. The nature of the Company’s business not only requires an experienced and well-trained sales organization to procure customer orders, but also requires proper, timely, and cost-effective installation ranging from single units of equipment to complex multimillion dollar laundry systems. Such installations also require coordination and collaboration with the Company’s customers and any third parties they may retain. Consequently, the recognition of revenue may from time to time be impacted by delays in construction and/or the preparation of customer facilities for the installation of purchased commercial laundry equipment and systems. This may result in decreased revenue and profit in a current period but a source of future revenue and profit through the ultimate fulfillment of the orders.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance. 

Results of Operations

Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2022

Revenues 

Revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 increased $4.6 million, or 6%, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to price increases established throughout the Company’s product lines and service offerings aimed at maintaining or increasing margins to cover incremental product and operating costs, as well as the revenues generated by the businesses acquired by the Company during fiscal 2023 and the three-month period ended September 30, 2023.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 increased $1.2 million, or 5%, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily the result of the increased revenues described above. Gross margins slightly decreased from 29.4% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 to 29.2% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Operating expenses increased $3.0 million, or 15%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. 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 selling costs, including commissions, from increases in revenues during the period, and (c) increases in salary, rent, technology costs, depreciation, and stock compensation, including an increase of $1.2 million in stock compensation expense from the acceleration of the vesting of certain restricted stock awards and restricted stock units in accordance with their terms during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $770,000 compared to $377,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in interest expense was attributable primarily to the increase in the average effective interest rate incurred on outstanding borrowings.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 30.6% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to 28.9% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in the effective tax rate is attributable to an increase in the net impact of permanent book-tax differences resulting primarily from nondeductible compensation.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.3 million compared to net income of $2.8 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in net income was attributable primarily to the increase in operating expenses, partially offset by an increase in gross profit, all as described in further detail above.

Consolidated Financial Condition

The Company’s total assets decreased from $253.8 million at June 30, 2023 to $249.5 million at September 30, 2023. The decrease in total assets was primarily attributable to a decrease in current assets, including inventory and cash as described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Working Capital” below. The Company’s total liabilities decreased from $122.9 million at June 30, 2023 to $115.5 million at September 30, 2023, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, cash decreased by approximately $1.7 million compared to a decrease of approximately $200,000 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s primary sources of cash are sales and borrowings under its credit facility. The Company’s primary uses of cash are purchases of the products sold by the Company, employee related costs, and the cash consideration paid in connection with business acquisitions.

Working Capital

Working capital increased from $49.1 million at June 30, 2023 to $51.2 million at September 30, 2023, primarily reflecting decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by decreases in cash, accounts receivable, and inventories. 

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flow activity for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands): 

The individual items contributing to cash flow changes for the periods presented are detailed in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, operating activities provided cash of $1.5 million compared to $6.2 million of cash used by operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2022. This $7.7 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to changes in working capital partially offset by a decrease in net income. The changes in working capital include increases in cash provided by operating activities from changes in operating assets such as accounts receivable, inventories, contract assets, and customer deposits, partially offset by increases to the cash used by operating activities from changes in accounts payable.

Investing Activities

For both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, investing activities used cash of $2.0 million. Cash paid for acquisitions decreased by $200,000 and capital expenditures increased by $200,000, in each case, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, financing activities used cash of $1.3 million compared to $8.0 million of cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2022. This $9.3 million increase in cash used by financing activities was primarily attributable to less net borrowings required to support working capital changes.

Revolving Credit Agreement

The Company is party, as borrower, to a syndicated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which allows for borrowings 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 Credit Agreement bear interest, at a rate, at the Company’s election at the time of borrowing, equal to (a) the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (the “BSBY rate”) plus a margin that ranges between 1.25% and 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 BSBY rate plus 100 basis points (such highest rate, the “Base Rate”), plus a margin that ranges between 0.25% and 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Swingline loans generally bear interest at the Base Rate plus a margin that ranges between 0.25% and 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is May 6, 2027.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including financial covenants requiring the Company to comply with maximum leverage ratios and minimum interest coverage ratios. The 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 September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement and $55.1 million was available to borrow under the revolving credit facility.

The obligations of the Company under the 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.

The Company believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash from operations and funds available under the Company’s Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operations and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months and thereafter. 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 pursued by the Company as part of its “buy-and-build” growth strategy.

Inflation

Inflation did not have a significant effect on the Company’s results during any of the reported periods. However, the Company faces risks relating to inflation, including the current inflationary trend, which may have an adverse impact on the market for the Company’s products and services, including that there is no assurance that the Company will be able to effectively increase the price of its products and services to offset increased costs.

Transactions with Related Parties

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries lease warehouse and office space from one or more of the principals or former principals of those subsidiaries. These leases include the following:

On October 10, 2016, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Western State Design, entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which it leases 17,600 square feet of warehouse and office space from an affiliate of Dennis Mack, a director and Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy of the Company, and Tom Marks, Executive Vice President, Business Development and President of the West Region of the Company. The lease had an initial term of five years and provides for two successive three-year renewal terms at the option of the Company. Monthly base rental payments were $12,000 during the initial term of the lease. The Company exercised its option to renew the lease for the first three-year renewal term. Base rent for the first renewal term is $19,000 per month. In addition to base rent, Western State Design is responsible under the lease for costs related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, repairs and insurance. Payments under this lease totaled approximately $57,000 during each of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

On October 31, 2017, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Tri-State Technical Services, entered into lease agreements pursuant to which it leases a total of 81,000 square feet of warehouse and office space from an affiliate of Matt Stephenson, President of Tri-State. Monthly base rental payments total $21,000 during the initial terms of the leases. Each lease had an initial term of five years and provides for two successive three-year renewal terms at the option of the Company. The Company exercised its option to renew the leases for the first three-year renewal term. Base rent for the first renewal term is $25,000. In addition to such leases, since May 1, 2023, Tri-State Technical Services has also leased an additional 50,000 square feet of space from Mr. Stephenson. Monthly base rental payments for the additional space total $15,000. The term of this lease will expire upon the expiration of the other leases with Mr. Stephenson described above. In addition to base rent, Tri-State is responsible under the leases for costs related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, repairs and insurance. Payments under these leases totaled approximately $119,000 and $63,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On November 1, 2018, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AAdvantage Laundry Systems, entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which it leases warehouse and office space from an affiliate of Mike Zuffinetti, former Chief Executive Officer of AAdvantage. Monthly base rental payments under this lease were $26,000 initially. Pursuant to the lease agreement, on January 1, 2019, the lease expanded to cover additional warehouse space and, in connection therewith, monthly base rental payments under this lease increased to $36,000. In addition to base rent, AAdvantage is responsible under the lease for costs related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, repairs and insurance. The lease had an initial term of five years and provides for two successive three-year renewal terms at the option of the Company. The Company expects to exercise its option to renew this lease for the first three-year renewal term and is in the process of finalizing the terms. Payments under the lease totaled approximately $108,000 during each of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

On November 3, 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Yankee Equipment Systems, 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 Yankee Equipment Systems. Monthly base rental payments were $11,000 during the initial term of the lease. In addition to base rent, Yankee Equipment Systems is responsible under the lease for costs related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, repairs and insurance. The lease had an initial term of three years and provides for three successive three-year renewal terms at the option of the Company. The Company has exercised its option to renew this lease for the first three-year renewal term. Base rent for the first year of the renewal term is $12,500 per month. Payments under this lease totaled approximately $38,000 and $36,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Critical Accounting Estimates

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company makes estimates and assumptions, including those that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and 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 remain unchanged from those described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market 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 and may place restrictions on its operations and activities, including its ability to pay dividends and take certain other actions. As described above, interest on borrowings under the Company’s Credit Agreement accrue at a rate, at the Company’s election at the time of borrowing, equal to (a) the BSBY rate 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 BSBY rate plus 100 basis points, plus a margin that ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $34.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement with a weighted average interest rate of 6.19%. Based on the amount outstanding at September 30, 2023, a hypothetical 1% increase in daily interest rates would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by approximately $340,000.

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 September 30, 2023 or June 30, 2023.

The Company’s cash is maintained in bank accounts which bear interest at prevailing interest rates. While depositary accounts are covered by FDIC insurance and the Company does not currently believe that it is exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the banks in which the Company’s cash is held, there recently have been adverse events related to the soundness of financial institutions, including a number of smaller bank failures, and the Company has exposure to the extent its cash balances exceed the current $250,000 in maximum FDIC coverage.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023 because of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified as of June 30, 2023 related to the review and approval of manual journal entries made to the general ledger at certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023) which had not been remediated as of September 30, 2023.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Notwithstanding the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, the material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements to the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 or the financial statements for any previously reported period.

As described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, management has implemented and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated. These remediation actions are ongoing and include or are expected to include modifying the journal entry process and system role configuration to establish a formal hierarchy of review of journal entries in order to enforce proper segregation of duties. The Company may also take additional measures to remediate the underlying control deficiencies identified above or modify the remediation plans described above. Although management believes that these actions will remediate the material weakness, the weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and improper conduct. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports or that the objectives of the control system will otherwise be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of improper conduct, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by the collusion of two or more people. Further, the design of any control system is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any such design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting other than, as described above, the identification of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the related remediation efforts.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
