Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders meeting the definition of a contract for which work has not been performed or has been partially performed and excludes unexercised contract options. The duration of the majority of our contracts, as defined by ASC Topic 606, is less than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, which allows the Company to exclude remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one year was approximately $516.2 at December 28, 2024. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 66% and 88% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affects accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Contract Assets (Unbilled Receivables) - Pursuant to the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customer being invoiced. An unbilled receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when (1) the cost-to-cost method is applied and (2) such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer.
As of December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, current contract assets were $7.1 and $6.9, respectively, and were included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in contract assets was primarily due to the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction of performance obligations prior to billing, partially offset by amounts billed to customers during the period. As of December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, the Company did not have any contract assets classified as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheets.
Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue) - The Company may receive a customer advance or deposit, or have an unconditional right to receive a customer advance, prior to revenue being recognized. Since the performance obligations related to such advances may not have been satisfied, a contract liability is established. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as the timing of the transfer of the related goods or services is at the discretion of the customer.
As of December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, current contract liabilities were $22.7 and $22.5, respectively, and were included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in current contract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments received and the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received from the noncurrent portion of contract liabilities partially offset by revenue recognized on customer contracts. For the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024, the Company recognized revenues of $2.4 and $14.0 that were included in the current contract liability balance as of March 30, 2024. For the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenues of $4.2 and $13.5 that were included in the current contract liability balance at April 1, 2023.
As of December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, noncurrent contract liabilities were $19.1 and $19.9, respectively, and were included within other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in noncurrent contract liabilities was primarily due to the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received to the current portion of contract liabilities.
Variable Consideration
The amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods and services is not generally subject to significant variations. However, the Company does offer certain customers rebates, prompt payment discounts, end-user discounts and the right to return eligible products. The Company estimates this variable consideration using the expected value amount, which is based on historical experience. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Accrued customer rebates were $37.1 and $38.0 at December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, respectively, and were included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
The components of comprehensive income that relate to the Company are net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in fair value of derivatives, and pension plan and postretirement benefits.
The following summarizes the activity within each component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), net of taxes:
| Currency Translation | Change in Fair Value of Interest Rate Swap | Change in Fair Value of Cross Currency Swap | Pension and Postretirement Liability | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balance at March 30, 2024 | $(3.6) | $1.2 | $— | $3.1 | $0.7 |
| Reclassification to net income | — | 2.0 | — | — | 2.0 |
| Change in pension and postretirement liability | — | — | — | 0.9 | 0.9 |

| Net current period other comprehensive income | (6.4) | (1.6) | 0.4 | 0.9 | (6.7) |
| Balance at December 28, 2024 | $(10.0) | $(0.4) | $0.4 | $4.0 | $(6.0) |
5. Net Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and the conversion of our 5.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “MCPS”) to common shares.
We exclude outstanding stock options, stock awards and the MCPS from the calculations if the effect would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the MCPS is calculated using the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes that these securities were converted to shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period to the extent that the effect is dilutive. If the effect is anti-dilutive, we calculate net income per share attributable to common stockholders by adjusting the numerator for the effect of the cumulative MCPS dividends for the respective period.
On October 15, 2024, each then-outstanding share of the MCPS converted into 0.4413 shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate was based on a value for the common stock equal to the lower of (i) the average of the daily VWAPs in the 20-trading-day period through October 14, 2024 (the daily VWAP is the per share volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for a given trading day as reported by Bloomberg) or (ii) $226.63. Because the VWAP average for the 20 trading days through October 14 was $292.55, the $226.63 common stock value was utilized to produce the conversion rate of 0.4413 shares of common stock for each share of MCPS. This is known as the “Minimum Conversion Rate” in the Certificate of Designations defining the terms of the MCPS.
The dividend on the MCPS that accrued through the conversion date was paid on the conversion date to holders of record on October 1, 2024 and therefore was not factored into the conversion rate.
The Company issued 2,029,955 shares of common stock upon the conversion of the MCPS.
Because the MCPS is no longer outstanding, the Company will not pay dividends on the MCPS in the future. This will amount to a cash savings of $23.0 per year.
For the three months ended December 28, 2024,51,783 employee stock options and 130 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders. For the nine months ended December 28, 2024,79,564 employee stock options and 12,605 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options and restricted shares would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended December 30, 2023,106,247 employee stock options and no restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders. For the nine months ended December 30, 2023,141,829 employee stock options and 2,000 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options and restricted shares would have been anti-dilutive.
The table below reflects the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for each period presented as well as the computation of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders.
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 28, 2024 | December 30, 2023 | December 28, 2024 | December 30, 2023 | |

6. Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
As a result of the occurrence of triggering events such as purchase accounting for acquisitions, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities based on Level 3 inputs.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and derivatives in the form of an interest rate swap and a cross currency swap. Refer to Note 13 for further details on our derivative instruments.
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Long-term assets held on our balance sheets related to benefit plan obligations are measured at fair value.
The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $466.3 and $456.8 at December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $494.9 at December 28, 2024 and $494.2 at March 30, 2024. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate debt was measured using Level 1 inputs. Due to the nature of fair value calculations for variable-rate debt, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term variable-rate debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
The fair value of the interest rate swap was $(0.4) at December 28, 2024, and was included in other noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the interest rate swap was $1.6 at March 30, 2024, and was included in other noncurrent assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the interest rate swap is measured using Level 2 inputs.
The fair value of the cross currency swap was $0.4 at December 28, 2024, and was included in other noncurrent assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the cross currency swap was measured using Level 2 inputs.
The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments.

10. Debt
Domestic Credit Facility
In fiscal 2022, RBC Bearings Incorporated, our top holding company, and our Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. subsidiary (“RBCA”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer, and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides the Company with (a) a $1,300.0 term loan (the “Term Loan”), which was used to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge Industrial, Inc. (“Dodge”) and to pay related fees and expenses, and (b) a $500.0 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan, the “Facilities”). Debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Agreement totaled $14.9 and are being amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement.
Amounts outstanding under the Facilities generally bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either, (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime lending rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement based on SOFR, the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) plus 1.00% or (b) Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Facilities are subject to a SOFR floor of 0.00%. As of December 28, 2024, the Company’s margin was 1.00% for SOFR loans, the commitment fee rate was 0.175%, and the letter of credit fee rate was 1.00%. A portion of the Term Loan is subject to a fixed-rate interest swap as discussed in Note 13.
The Term Loan matures in November 2026 and amortizes in quarterly installments with the balance payable on the maturity date. The Company can elect to prepay some or all of the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty, which will offset future quarterly amortization installments. Due to prepayments previously made, the required future principal payments on the Term Loan are $0 for fiscal 2025, $0 for fiscal 2026, and $500.0 for fiscal 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility expires in November 2026, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will be payable.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with various covenants, including the following financial covenants: (a) a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 5.00:1.00, which maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio shall decrease during certain subsequent test periods as set forth in the Credit Agreement (provided that, no more than once during the term of the Facilities, such maximum ratio applicable at such time may be increased by the Company by 0.50:1.00 for a period of 12 months after the consummation of a material acquisition); and (b) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.00:1.00. As of December 28, 2024 the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
The Credit Agreement allows the Company to, among other things, make distributions to stockholders, repurchase its stock, incur other debt or liens, or acquire or dispose of assets provided that the Company complies with certain requirements and limitations of the Credit Agreement.
The Company’s domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the Company’s obligations and the domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.
As of December 28, 2024, $500.0 was outstanding under the Term Loan and $3.7 of the Revolving Credit Facility was being utilized to provide letters of credit to secure the Company’s obligations relating to certain insurance programs. The Company had the ability to borrow an additional $496.3 under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 28, 2024. During the three month period ended December 28, 2024, the Company borrowed, $40.0 from the Revolving Credit Facility in order pay down the Term Loan. The $40.0 borrowed from the Revolver was then completely repaid before the end of the fiscal quarter.
Senior Notes
In fiscal 2022, RBCA issued $500.0 aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were approximately $492.0, after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses, and were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge.
The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company to (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness, (ii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders, (iii) make investments, (iv) create liens or use assets as security in other transactions, (v) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of its assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (vii) sell or transfer certain assets. These covenants contain various exceptions, limitations and qualifications. At any time that the Senior Notes are rated investment grade, certain of these covenants will be suspended.
The Senior Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RBC Bearings and RBCA’s domestic subsidiaries that also guarantee the Credit Agreement.
Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.375% and is payable semi–annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2029. The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company sells certain of its assets or experiences specific kinds of changes in control, the Company must offer to purchase the Senior Notes.
Foreign Borrowing Arrangements
One of our foreign subsidiaries, Schaublin SA, has a CHF 5.0 (approximately $5.4 USD) credit line (the “Foreign Credit Line”) with Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. to provide future working capital, if necessary. As of December 28, 2024, $0.1 was being utilized to provide a bank guarantee and no borrowings were outstanding. Fees associated with the Foreign Credit Line are nominal.
In July 2024, Swiss Tool Systems, one of our foreign subsidiaries, purchased the building where it operates for CHF 7.1 (approximately $8.4 USD) and took out a 10-year fixed-rate mortgage on the building for CHF 4.0 (approximately $4.5 USD).
The balances payable under all our borrowing arrangements are as follows:
| December 28, 2024 | March 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Revolver and term loan facilities | $500.0 | $695.2 |
| Senior notes | 500.0 | 500.0 |
| Debt issuance costs | (9.0) | (10.7) |
| Other | 10.4 | 7.4 |
| Total debt | 1,001.4 | 1,191.9 |
| Less: current portion | 1.7 | 3.8 |
| Long-term debt | $999.7 | $1,188.1 |
11. Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns in numerous U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, with returns subject to examination for varying periods, but generally back to and including the year ended March 28, 2020, although certain tax credits generated in earlier years are open under statute from March 29, 2008. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years ended before March 28, 2020.
The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, were 22.5% and 18.1%, respectively. In addition to discrete items, the effective income tax rates for both these periods were different from the U.S. statutory rates due to the foreign-derived intangible income provision and U.S. credit for increasing research activities, which decreased the rate, and state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and nondeductible compensation, which increased the rate.
The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended December 28, 2024 of 22.5% included $0.8 of discrete tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended December 28, 2024 would have been 23.5%. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended December 30, 2023 of 18.1% included $1.9 of discrete tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation partially offset by $0.2 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended December 30, 2023 would have been 21.2%. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that some of its unrecognized tax positions may be effectively settled within the next 12 months due to the closing of audits and the statute of limitations expiring in various jurisdictions. The decrease in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions, pertaining primarily to federal and state credits and state tax, is estimated to be approximately $1.9.
The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 28, 2024 was 22.5% compared to 21.0% for the nine-month period ended December 30, 2023. The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 28, 2024 of 22.5% included $2.5 of discrete tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation partially offset by $0.1 of other discrete tax expenses. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the nine-month period ended December 28, 2024 would have been 23.6%. The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 30, 2023 of 21.0% included $2.4 of discrete tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation partially offset by $0.2 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the nine-month period ended December 30, 2023 would have been 22.2%.
Global Minimum Tax
In October 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) announced an Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting including Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large multinational corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. Subsequently multiple sets of administrative guidance have been issued. Many non-US tax jurisdictions have either recently enacted legislation to adopt certain components of the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 with the adoption of additional components in later years or announced their plans to enact legislation in future years. We are continuing to evaluate the impacts of enacted legislation and pending legislation to enact Pillar Two Model Rules in the non-US tax jurisdictions in which we operate. At this time, we do not anticipate the enacted or pending legislation will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
12. Reportable Segments
The Company operates through operating segments and reports its financial results based on how its chief operating decision maker makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates resources. Our operating segments are our reportable segments. These reportable operating segments are Aerospace/Defense and Industrial and are described below.
***Aerospace/Defense.***This segment represents the end markets for the Company’s highly engineered bearings and precision components used in commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and sea and ground defense applications.
***Industrial.***This segment represents the end markets for the Company’s highly engineered bearings and precision components used in various industrial applications including: power transmission; construction, mining, energy and specialized equipment manufacturing; semiconductor production equipment manufacturing; agricultural machinery, commercial truck and automotive manufacturing; and tool holding.
Segment performance is evaluated based on segment net sales and gross margin. Items not allocated to segment operating income include corporate administrative expenses and certain other amounts. Where not separately disclosed, corporate costs are allocated to each segment. Identifiable assets by reportable segment consist of those directly identified with the segment’s operations.

13. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of the derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income/loss, depending on whether the derivative is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss are subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
In fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a three-year U.S. dollar-denominated interest rate swap (the “Interest Swap”) with a third-party financial counterparty under the Credit Agreement (see Note 10). The Interest Rate Swap was executed to protect the Company from interest rate volatility on our variable-rate Term Loan. The Interest Rate Swap became effective December 30, 2022 and is comprised of a $600.0 notional with a maturity ofthree years. The notional was $400.0 as of December 28, 2024. We receive a variable rate based on one-month Term SOFR and pay a fixed rate of 4.455%. The notional on the Interest Rate Swap amortizes as follows:
Year 1: $600.0
Year 2: $400.0
Year 3: $100.0
The Interest Rate Swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the first unhedged interest payments (the hedged transactions) paid over the hedging relationship’s specified time period ofthree years attributable to the borrowing’s contractually specified interest index on the hedged principal of its general borrowing program or replacement or refinancing thereof. The fair value of the Interest Rate Swap has been disclosed in Note 6. The balance in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss related to the Interest Rate Swap has been disclosed in Note 4. The gain/loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss into earnings has been recorded as interest income/expense on the Interest Rate Swap and included in the operating section of the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into a three-year pay Swiss franc fixed/receive U.S. dollar fixed, cross currency swap (the “Cross Currency Swap”) with a third-party financial counterparty. The objective of the Cross Currency Swap is to economically hedge the Company’s net investment in its lower-tier European subsidiary, Schaublin, against adverse changes in the Swiss franc/U.S. dollar exchange rate. The Cross Currency Swap is based upon a net investment of CHF 69.4 ($80.0 USD) notional amount with a three-year maturity date. RBC receives a fixed U.S. dollar amount on a month-to-month basis based upon a fixed annual rate of 2.77% of the notional amount. At maturity, RBC will net-settle the principal of the Cross Currency Swap in cash with the counterparty.
The Cross Currency Swap has been designated as a net investment hedge on an after-tax basis. The fair value of the Cross Currency Swap has been disclosed in Note 6. The balance in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss related to the Cross Currency Swap has been disclosed in Note 4.
