Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1.Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company” or “we,” which reference shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be deemed to refer to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and all of its direct and indirect 100% owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) is engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter (“OTC”) healthcare products to mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets. Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. is a holding company with no operations and is also the parent guarantor of the senior credit facility and the senior notes described in Note 7 to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Economic Environment
There has been economic uncertainty in the United States and globally due to several factors, including global supply chain constraints, changes in interest rates, a high inflationary environment and geopolitical events. We expect economic conditions will continue to be highly volatile and uncertain, put pressure on prices and supply, and could affect demand for our products. We have continued to see changes in the purchasing patterns of our end customers, including a shift in many markets to purchasing our products online.
The volatile environment has impacted the supply of labor and raw materials and exacerbated rising input costs. We have and may continue to experience shortages, delays and backorders for certain ingredients and products, difficulty scheduling shipping for our products, as well as price increases from many of our suppliers for both shipping and product costs. Certain of our third-party manufacturers are currently having, and have had in the past, difficulty meeting demand, which is and has caused shortages of our products, particularly eye care products. These shortages negatively impacted our results of operations and we expect further shortages may have a negative impact on our sales. If conditions cause further disruption in the global supply chain, the availability of labor and materials or otherwise further increase costs, it may materially affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including causing material disruptions in the supply and distribution of our products. The extent to which these conditions impact our results and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including global supply chain constraints, inflation, global conflicts and instability, and the potential for further outbreaks of severe illnesses. These effects could have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations and those of the third parties on which we rely.
Basis of Presentation The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are considered necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Our fiscal year ends on March 31st of each year. References in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or related notes to a year (e.g., 2025) mean our fiscal year ending or ended on March 31st of that year. Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most significant estimates include those made in connection with the valuation of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, fair value of debt, sales returns and allowances, trade promotional allowances, inventory obsolescence, and accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update require that
-7-
entities disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this update also require disclosure, on an annual basis, of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. In addition, the amendments in this update also require that income (or loss) before income taxes be disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) be disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact that this ASU may have on our Consolidated Financial Statement disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this update intend to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, the addition of a category for other segment items by reportable segment, that all annual segment disclosures be disclosed in interim periods, and other related segment disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact that this ASU may have on our Consolidated Financial Statement disclosures.

At February 29, 2024, the date of our annual impairment review, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value for all reporting units and accordingly, no impairment charge was taken. The estimates and assumptions made in assessing the fair value of our reporting units and the valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities are inherently subject to significant uncertainties related to future sales, gross margins, and advertising and marketing expenses, which can be impacted by increases in competition, changing consumer preferences, technical advances, supply chain constraints, labor shortages, and inflation. The discount rate assumption may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates and rates of inflation, which can have an impact on the determination of fair value. If these assumptions are adversely affected, we may be required

to record impairment charges in the future. As of September 30, 2024, we determined no events have occurred that would indicate potential impairment of goodwill.

Additionally, should the related fair values of intangible assets be adversely affected as a result of declining sales or margins caused by competition, changing consumer needs or preferences, technological advances, changes in advertising and marketing expenses, or the potential impacts of supply chain constraints, labor shortages, or inflation, we may be required to record impairment charges in the future.As of September 30, 2024, no events have occurred that would indicate potential impairment of intangible assets.

8.Fair Value Measurements
For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short maturity of these amounts.
-11-
FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements, requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market assuming an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 established market (observable inputs) as the preferred source of fair value, to be followed by our assumptions of fair value based on hypothetical transactions (unobservable inputs) in the absence of observable market inputs. Based upon the above, the following fair value hierarchy was created:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, as well as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not considered active; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed by us using estimates and assumptions reflective of those that would be utilized by a market participant.
The market values have been determined based on market values for similar instruments adjusted for certain factors. As such, the 2021 Senior Notes, the 2019 Senior Notes, and the 2012 Term B-5 Loans are measured in Level 2 of the above hierarchy. The summary below details the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these instruments at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

9.Stockholders' Equity
We are authorized to issue 250.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 5.0 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. The Board of Directors may direct the issuance of the undesignated preferred stock in one or more series and determine preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof.
Each share of common stock has the right to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of outstanding stock having priority rights as to dividends. No dividends have been declared or paid on our common stock through September 30, 2024.
On May 6, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. Under the authorization, the Company may purchase common stock utilizing open market transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, in privately-negotiated transactions, by direct purchases of common stock or a combination of the foregoing in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased shares of our common stock and recorded them as treasury stock. Our share repurchases consisted of the following:

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were 0.2 million and 0.3 million shares, respectively, attributable to outstanding stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were 0.2 million and 0.3 million shares, respectively, attributable to outstanding stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
12.Stock-Based Compensation
In connection with our initial public offering, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which provided for grants of up to a maximum of 5.0 million shares of restricted stock, stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and other equity-based awards. In June 2014, the Board of Directors approved, and in July 2014, our stockholders ratified, an increase of an additional 1.8 million shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2005 Plan, among other changes.
On June 23, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted the Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan became effective on August 4, 2020, upon the approval of the 2020 Plan by our stockholders. On June 23, 2020, a total of 2,827,210 shares were available for issuance under the 2020 Plan (comprised of 2,000,000 new shares plus 827,210 shares that were unissued under the 2005 Plan). Since the 2020 Plan became effective, all equity awards have been made from the 2020 Plan, and the Company will not grant any additional awards under the 2005 Plan.
At September 30, 2024, there were 1.6 million shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

At September 30, 2024, there were $3.8 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options under the 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan, excluding an estimate for forfeitures which may occur. We expect to recognize such costs over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. At September 30, 2024, there were $14.4 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested RSUs and performance stock units ("PSUs") under the 2005 Plan and the 2020 Plan, excluding an estimate for forfeitures which may occur. We expect to recognize such costs over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.
Restricted Stock Units

13.Income Taxes
Numerous countries have agreed to a statement in support of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") model rules that propose a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Certain countries have enacted legislation incorporating the agreed upon global minimum tax effective in 2024. This legislation has not and is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Income taxes are recorded in our quarterly financial statements based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate, subject to adjustments for discrete events, should they occur. The effective tax rates used in the calculation of income taxes were 24.1% and 23.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 was due to the impact of discrete items primarily pertaining to state tax changes and stock-based compensation. The effective tax rates used in the calculation of income taxes were 20.5% and 23.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023 was due to discrete items primarily pertaining to the release of a reserve for uncertain tax positions due to the statute of limitations expiring.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved from time to time in legal matters and other claims incidental to our business. We review outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel as necessary to assess the probability and amount of a potential loss. These assessments are re-evaluated at each reporting period and as new information becomes available to determine whether a contingency accrual should be established or if any existing contingency accrual should be adjusted. The actual cost of resolving a claim or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of the recorded contingency accrual. In addition, because it is not permissible under GAAP to establish a litigation contingency accrual until the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient time to establish a contingency accrual prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly negotiated settlement). We believe the reasonably possible losses from resolution of routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business will not have a material effect on our financial statements.
15.Concentrations of Risk
Our revenues are concentrated in the area of OTC Healthcare. We sell our products to mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience and club stores and e-commerce channels. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, approximately 37% and 38%, respectively, of our gross revenues were derived from our five top selling brands. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 39% and 40%, respectively, of our gross revenues were derived from our five top selling brands. Walmart accounted for approximately 19% and 20%, respectively, of our gross revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024. Walmart accounted for approximately 19% and 20%, respectively, of our gross revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023. Amazon accounted for approximately 12% and 13%, respectively, of gross revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024. In both the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, Amazon accounted for approximately 10% of gross revenues.
Our product distribution in the United States is managed by a third-party through one primary distribution center in Clayton, Indiana. We also operate a manufacturing facility in Lynchburg, Virginia, which manufactures certain of our Fleet, Monistat and Summer's Eve products, and a manufacturing facility in Victoria, Australia, which manufactures some of our Hydralyte products. A natural disaster, such as tornado, earthquake, flood, or fire, at our distribution center or our own or a third-party manufacturing facility could damage our inventory and/or materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. In addition, a serious disruption caused by performance or contractual issues with our third-party distribution manager, or labor shortages or contagious disease outbreaks or other public health emergencies at our distribution center or manufacturing facilities could also materially impact our product distribution. Any disruption could result in increased costs, expense and/or shipping times, and could harm our reputation and cause us to incur customer fees and penalties. We could also incur significantly higher costs and experience longer lead times should we be required to replace our distribution center, the third-party distribution manager or the manufacturing facilities. As a result, any serious disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
At September 30, 2024, we had relationships with 107 third-party manufacturers. Of those, we had long-term contracts with 28 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 76% of gross sales for the six months ended September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2023, we had relationships with 128 third-party manufacturers. Of those, we had long-term contracts with 28 manufacturers that produced items that accounted for approximately 75% of gross sales for the six months ended September 30, 2023. One of our suppliers, a privately owned pharmaceutical manufacturer with whom we have a long-term supply agreement, produced products that accounted for more than 10% of our gross revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. This manufacturer accounted for approximately 22% of our gross revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2024, and approximately 21% of our gross revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2023, while we accounted for a significant portion of their gross revenues over both time periods. No other single third-party supplier produces products that account for 10% or more of our gross revenues. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with certain manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing our products at any time and for any reason or initiate arbitrary and costly price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Although we are continually in the process of negotiating long-term contracts with certain key manufacturers, we may not be able to reach a timely agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

17. Subsequent Event
Logistics Provider Agreement
On October 1, 2024, we entered into amendments extending the Master Logistics Services Agreement with GEODIS Logistics LLC ("GEODIS") as our third-party logistics provider. Under this agreement, we have extended our May 2019 agreement that authorized GEODIS to lease a facility and equipment for an additional 65 month term. The lease and non-lease components will be recorded in our third quarter fiscal year 2025 financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Future results could differ materially from the discussion that follows for many reasons, including the factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and in future reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
See also “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 31 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Unless otherwise indicated by the context, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Prestige” refer to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. and our subsidiaries. Similarly, references to a year (e.g., 2025) refers to our fiscal year ended March 31 of that year.
General
We are engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of well-recognized, brand name, over-the-counter ("OTC") health and personal care products to mass merchandisers, drug, food, dollar, convenience, and club stores and e-commerce channels in North America (the United States and Canada) and in Australia and certain other international markets. We use the strength of our brands, our established retail distribution network, a low-cost operating model and our experienced management team to our competitive advantage.
We have grown our brand portfolio both organically and through acquisitions. We develop our existing brands by investing in new product lines, brand extensions and strong advertising support. Acquisitions of consumer health and personal care brands have also been an important part of our growth strategy. We have acquired well-recognized brands from consumer products and pharmaceutical companies and private equity firms. While many of these brands have long histories of brand development and investment, we believe that, at the time we acquired them, most were considered “non-core” by their previous owners. As a result, these acquired brands did not benefit from adequate management focus and marketing support during the period prior to their acquisition, which created opportunities for us to reinvigorate these brands and improve their performance post-acquisition. After adding a core brand to our portfolio, we seek to increase its sales, market share and distribution in both existing and new channels through our established retail distribution network. We pursue this growth through increased spending on advertising and marketing support, new sales and marketing strategies, improved packaging and formulations, and innovative development of brand extensions.
Economic Environment
There has been economic uncertainty in the United States and globally due to several factors, including global supply chain constraints, changes in interest rates, a high inflationary environment and geopolitical events. We expect economic conditions will continue to be highly volatile and uncertain, put pressure on prices and supply, and could affect demand for our products. We have continued to see changes in the purchasing patterns of our end customers, including a shift in many markets to purchasing our products online.
The volatile environment has impacted the supply of labor and raw materials and exacerbated rising input costs. We have and may continue to experience shortages, delays and backorders for certain ingredients and products, difficulty scheduling shipping for our products, as well as price increases from many of our suppliers for both shipping and product costs. Certain of our third-party manufacturers are currently having, and have had in the past, difficulty meeting demand, which is and has caused shortages of our products, particularly eye care products. These shortages negatively impacted our results of operations and we expect further shortages may have a negative impact on our sales. If conditions cause further disruption in the global supply chain, the availability of labor and materials or otherwise further increase costs, it may materially affect our operations and those of third parties on which we rely, including causing material disruptions in the supply and distribution of our products. The extent to which these conditions impact our results and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including global supply chain constraints, inflation, global conflicts and instability, and the potential for further outbreaks of severe illnesses. These effects could have a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations and those of the third parties on which we rely.
Global Minimum Tax
-21-
Numerous countries have agreed to a statement in support of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") model rules that propose a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Certain countries have enacted legislation incorporating the agreed upon global minimum tax effective in 2024. This legislation has not and is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. As legislation becomes effective in more countries in which we do business, our taxes could increase and negatively impact our provision for income taxes. We continue to monitor pending legislation and implementation by countries and to evaluate the potential impact on our business in future periods.

North American OTC Healthcare Segment
Revenues for the North American OTC Healthcare segment decreased $18.4 million, or 3.8%, during the six months ended September 30, 2024 versus the six months ended September 30, 2023. The $18.4 million decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales in the Cough & Cold, Women's Health, and Analgesics categories, partly offset by an increase in sales in the Gastrointestinal category.
International OTC Healthcare Segment
Revenues for the International OTC Healthcare segment increased $3.7 million, or 5.0%, during the six months ended September 30, 2024 versus the six months ended September 30, 2023. The $3.7 million increase was mainly attributable to an increase in sales in the Gastrointestinal category, partly offset by a decrease in sales in the Women's Health and Cough & Cold categories.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $55.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and $53.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. General and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million due to an increase in professional fees.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $11.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and $11.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net was $25.4 million during the six months ended September 30, 2024 versus $35.3 million during the six months ended September 30, 2023. The average indebtedness decreased to $1.1 billion during the six months ended September 30, 2024 from $1.3 billion during the six months ended September 30, 2023. The average cost of borrowing decreased to 4.8% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 5.4% for the six months ended September 30, 2023.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes during the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $26.6 million versus $32.3 million during the six months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate during the six months ended September 30, 2024 was 20.5% versus 23.2% during the six months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023 was due to discrete items primarily pertaining to the release of a reserve for uncertain tax positions due to the statute of limitations expiring.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our primary source of cash comes from our cash flow from operations. In the past, we have supplemented this source of cash with various debt facilities, primarily in connection with acquisitions. We have financed our operations, and expect to continue to finance our operations for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future, with a combination of funds generated from operations and borrowings. Our principal uses of cash are for operating expenses, debt service, share repurchases, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. Based on our current levels of operations and anticipated growth, excluding acquisitions, we believe that our cash generated from operations and our existing credit facilities will be adequate to finance our working capital and capital expenditures through the next twelve months. See "Economic Environment" above.
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $51.5 million, an increase of $5.1 million from March 31, 2024. The following table summarizes the change:

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $124.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $110.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The $14.0 million increase was due to decreased working capital, partly offset by a decrease in net income before non-cash items.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in cash used for investing activities of $3.5 million was primarily attributable to changes in a short term loan receivable, partly offset by a decrease in capital expenditures.

Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $116.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $107.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The $9.0 million increase was primarily due to an increase in the purchase of shares of our common stock of $12.8 million and a decrease in the proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $5.6 million, partly offset by a decrease in term loan repayments of $10.0 million.
Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, we had an aggregate of $1.1 billion of outstanding indebtedness, which consisted of the following:
•$400.0 million of 5.125% 2019 senior unsecured notes, which mature on January 15, 2028 (the "2019 Senior Notes");
•$600.0 million of 3.750% 2021 senior unsecured notes, which mature on April 1, 2031 (the "2021 Senior Notes"); and
•$60.0 million of borrowings under the Term B-5 Loans under our term loan originally entered into on January 31, 2012 (the "2012 Term Loan”) due July 1, 2028.
As of September 30, 2024, we had no outstanding balance on our asset-based revolving credit facility originally entered into on January 31, 2012 (the "2012 ABL Revolver”) and a borrowing capacity of $173.9 million.
Since we have made optional payments that exceed all of our required quarterly payments, we will not be required to make another payment on the 2012 Term Loan until maturity.

Covenants:
Our debt facilities contain various financial covenants, including provisions that require us to maintain certain leverage, interest coverage and fixed charge ratios. The credit agreement governing the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and 2019 Senior Notes contain provisions that accelerate our indebtedness on certain changes in control and restrict us from undertaking specified corporate actions, including asset dispositions, acquisitions, payments of dividends and other specified payments, repurchasing our equity securities in the public markets, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, making loans and investments and transactions with affiliates. Specifically, we must:
•Have a leverage ratio of less than 6.50 to 1.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and thereafter (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated total net debt as of the last day of the fiscal quarter to our trailing twelve month consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items (“EBITDA”));
•Have an interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.25 to 1.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and thereafter (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA to our trailing twelve month consolidated cash interest expense); and
•Have a fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.0 to 1.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA minus capital expenditures to our trailing twelve month consolidated interest paid, taxes paid and other specified payments). Our fixed charge requirement remains level throughout the term of the debt facilities.
At September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the applicable financial and restrictive covenants under the 2012 Term Loan and the 2012 ABL Revolver and the indentures governing the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes.
-29-
Management anticipates that in the normal course of operations, we will be in compliance with the financial and restrictive covenants during the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of 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 financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies is presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended September 30, 2024.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates because our 2012 Term Loan and 2012 ABL Revolver are variable rate debt. At September 30, 2024, approximately $60.0 million of our debt carries a variable rate of interest.
Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one percentage point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt would have had an adverse impact on both pre-tax income and cash flows for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, approximately 15.3% and 14.5%, respectively, of our gross revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 13.5% and 12.7%, respectively, of our gross revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As such, we are exposed to transactions that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates. These transactions are primarily with respect to the Canadian and Australian Dollars.
We performed a sensitivity analysis with respect to exchange rates for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Holding all other variables constant, and assuming a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates, this analysis resulted in a less than 5.0% impact on pre-tax income of approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and approximately $4.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. It represented a less than 5.0% impact on pre-tax income of approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $4.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II.OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed in the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, but such risks are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our quarterly operating results and revenues may fluctuate as a result of any of these or other factors. Accordingly, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year, and revenues for
-33-
any particular future period may decrease. In the future, operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In that event, the market price of our outstanding securities could be adversely impacted.
