Notes to Unaudited** **Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1) Management Statement

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for thethree andsix months ended* December 31, 2023and2022*, the cash flows for thesix months ended* December 31, 2023and2022* and the financial position of Standex International Corporation (“Standex”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), at* December 31, 2023*. The interim results arenot necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the informationnot misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes donot contain information which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended* June 30, 2023*. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at* June 30, 2023* was derived from audited financial statements, but doesnot include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form10-K and in particular the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended* June 30, 2023*. Unless otherwise noted, references to years are to the Company’s fiscal years. Currently our fiscal year end is* June 30.For further clarity, our fiscal year2024* includes thetwelve-month period from* July 1, 2023to June 30, 2024.*

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. Estimates are based on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities when they arenot readily apparent from other sources. These estimates assist in the identification and assessment of the accounting treatment necessary with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results* maydiffer from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements have considered the implications on the Company as a result of ongoing global events and related economic impacts. As a result, there is heightened volatility and uncertainty around supply chain performance, labor availability, and customer demand. However, the magnitude of such impact on the Company’s business and its duration is uncertain. The Company isnot* aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or adjustments to the carrying value of its assets and liabilities as of* December 31, 2023* and the issuance date of the Quarterly Report on Form10-Q.

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date and time its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.** **

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs, which are classified under selling, general, and administrative expenses, were $5.1 million and $4.1 million for thethree months ended* December 31, 2023* and2022, respectively. Research and development expenditures were $10.4 million and $7.3 million for thesix months ended* December 31, 2023* and2022, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company doesnot believe that the adoption of recently issued standards had or* may*have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In* November 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023*-07, Segment Reporting (Topic280) ("ASU2023-07"). This update provides, among other things, enhanced segment disclosure requirements including disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2023,and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.The Company will review the extent of new disclosures necessary in the coming quarters, prior to implementation during fiscal year2025.* Other than additional disclosure, the Company doesnot expect a change to its condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023*-09, Income Taxes (Topic740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU is expected to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring public business entities on an annual basis to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, and certain information about income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2024.The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, which would be applicable to fiscal year2026.*

2) Acquisitions

At the time of the acquisition and* December 31, 2023*, the Company evaluated the significance of each acquisition on a standalone basis and in aggregate, considering both qualitative and quantitative factors.

On* November**1,* 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement, through its subsidiary Standex Electronics Japan Corporation, to acquire privately-held, Japanese-based Sanyu Switch Co., Ltd. Sanyu Switch Co., Ltd. designs and manufactures reed relays, test sockets, testing systems for semi-conductor and other electronics manufacturing, and other switching applications. The transaction is expected to close in thethird quarter of fiscal year2024, subject to required regulatory approvals. Its results will be reported in the Electronics segment upon closing.

Minntronix

On* July 31, 2023,*the Company paid $29.2 million in cash for the purchase of all the issued and outstanding equity interests of Minntronix, a privately held company. Minntronix designs and manufactures customized as well as standard magnetics components and products including transformers, inductors, current sensors, coils, chokes, and filters. The products are used in applications across cable fiber, smart meters, industrial control and lighting, electric vehicles, and home security markets. Minntronix' results are reported within the Company's Electronics segment.

The purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a valuation of their fair values on the closing date. Goodwill recorded from this transaction is attributable to Minntronix's technical and applications expertise, which is highly complementary to the Company's existing business.

Identifiable intangible assets of $10.7 million consist primarily of $3.2 million for indefinite lived tradenames and $7.5 million of customer relationships to be amortized over 15 years. The goodwill of $13.9 million created by the transaction isnot deductible for income tax purposes. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments regarding expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocations of those cash flows to identifiable tangible and intangible assets, in determining the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management's best estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques.

The components of the fair value of the Minntronix acquisition, including the preliminary allocation of the purchase price are as follows (in thousands):

Fair value of business combination:
Cash payments$33,890
Less, cash acquired(4,661)
Total$29,229

Inventories1,780
Property, plant, & equipment1,039
Identifiable intangible assets10,700
Goodwill13,889
Liabilities assumed(7,581)
Total$29,229

Acquisition Related Costs

Acquisition related costs include costs related to acquired businesses and other pending acquisitions. These costs consist of (i) deferred compensation arrangements and (ii) acquisition related professional service fees and expenses, including financial advisory, legal, accounting, and other outside services incurred in connection with acquisition activities, and regulatory matters related to acquired entities. These costs donot include purchase accounting expenses, which we define as acquired backlog and the step-up of inventory to fair value, or the amortization of the acquired intangible assets.

Acquisition related costs for thethree months ended* December 31, 2023* and2022 were $1.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Acquisition related costs for thesix months ended* December 31, 2023* and2022 were $1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

3) Revenue From Contracts With Customers

Most of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which represents the product or service being sold to the customer. Some contracts include multiple performance obligations such as a product and the related installation and/or extended warranty. Additionally, most of the Company’s contracts offer assurance type warranties in connection with the sale of a product to customers. Assurance type warranties provide a customer with assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. Assurance type warranties donot represent a separate performance obligation.

In general, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time control transfers to its customer based on predetermined shipping terms. Revenue is recognized over time under certain long-term contracts within the Engineering Technologies and Engraving groups for highly customized customer products that haveno alternative use and in which the contract specifies the Company has a right to payment for its costs, plus a reasonable margin. For products manufactured over time, the transfer of control is measured pro rata, based upon current estimates of costs to complete such contracts. Losses on contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become determinable. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected on a cumulative basis in the period in which the basis for such revision becomes known.

Contract Balances

Contract assets represent sales recognized in excess of billings related to work completed butnot yet shipped for which revenue is recognized over time. Contract assets are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets. Contract liabilities are customer deposits for which revenue hasnot been recognized. Current contract liabilities are recorded as accrued liabilities.

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections results in billed receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. When consideration is received from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the goods and services are transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

4) Fair Value Measurements

The financial instruments shown below are presented at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs arenot available, valuation models* may*be applied.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities and the methodologies used in valuation are as follows:

Level1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets consist of shares in various mutual funds (investments are participant-directed) which invest in a broad portfolio of debt and equity securities. These assets are valued based on publicly quoted market prices for the funds’ shares as of the balance sheet dates.

Level2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in an active market, that are observable either directly or indirectly through correlation with market data. For foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps, the Company values the instruments based on the market price of instruments with similar terms, which are based on spot and forward rates as of the balance sheet dates. The Company has considered the creditworthiness of counterparties in valuing all assets and liabilities.

Level3 – Unobservable inputs based upon the Company’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

There wereno transfers of assets or liabilities between any levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy at* December 31, 2023* and* June 30, 2023*. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the date they occur.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

The Company is contractually obligated to pay contingent consideration to the sellers of GS Engineering in the event that certain revenue and gross margin targets are achieved during thefive years following acquisition. The targets set in the GS Engineering stock purchase agreement werenot met for the first, second,third orfourth year, which concluded in thefourth quarter of fiscal years2020, 2021, 2022 and2023, respectively. As of* December 31, 2023*, the Company could be required to pay up to $12.8 million for contingent consideration arrangements if the revenue and gross margin targets are met in fiscal year2024.

The Company has determined the fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputsnot observable in the market and thus represents a Level3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future payments was based on several factors, the most significant of which are the financial performance of the acquired businesses and the risk-adjusted discount rate for the fair value measurement.

Additionally, the Company has financial assets based upon Level3 inputs, which represent investments in a privately held company.

The Company invested $2.1 million for equity securities of a company whose securities arenot publicly traded and where fair value isnot readily available. This was recorded as an investment within other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets to reflect the initial fair value of the stock acquired. These investments are recorded using either the equity method of accounting or the cost minus impairment adjusted for observable price changes, depending on ownership percentage and other factors that suggest significant influence. The Company concluded it doesnot have a significant ownership percentage or influence. The Company monitors this investment to evaluate whether any increase or decline in the value has occurred, based on the implied value of recent company financings, public market prices of comparable companies and general market conditions.

The Company also purchased $2.8 million of debt securities from the same privately held company. The available for sale asset was recorded as a current asset in the prepaid expenses and other current assets line of the consolidated balance sheet to reflect the initial fair value of the instrument acquired. This asset will matureone year from the date of issuance. Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair market value and unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in equity, net of related tax effects. Realized gains and losses are reported in other non-operating (income) expense, net.

There have beenno changes in the fair value of the estimates for the Level3 assets in fiscal year2024 other than the impact of foreign exchange, which represents the increase in the fair values from the prior year.

The Company updates its assumptions each reporting period based on new developments and record such amounts at fair value based on the revised assumptions until the agreements expire.

10)** **Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and changes in foreign currency rates. The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments in order to manage certain of these risks. Information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments is as follows:

Interest Rate Swaps

From time to time as dictated by market opportunities, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements designed to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness. The Company recognizes all derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value. The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreements, including those that* may*be forward-dated, as cash flow hedges, and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swaps will be reported by the Company in interest expense.

The Company’s effective swap agreements convert the base borrowing rate on $150 million of debt due under our revolving credit agreement from a variable rate equal to1 month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) to a weighted average fixed rate of 0.85% at* December 31, 2023*. The fair value of the swaps, recognized in other comprehensive income, is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Effective Date · Notional Amount · Fixed Interest Rate · Maturity · December 31, 2023 · June 30, 2023
February 6, 202325,0002.80%August 6, 2023$-$59

February 24, 202325,0000.86%March 24, 20251,1021,683
$6,677$10,235

17

The Company reportedno losses for thethree andsix months ended* December 31, 2023*, as a result of hedge ineffectiveness. Future changes in these swap arrangements, including termination of the agreements,* may*result in a reclassification of any gain or loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to these instruments is being amortized into interest expense concurrent with the hedged exposure.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit the impact of currency fluctuations on certain anticipated foreign cash flows, such as collections from customers and loan payments between subsidiaries. The Company enters into such contracts for hedging purposes only. The Company has designated certain of these currency contracts as hedges, and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with these contracts will be reported in net income. At* December 31, 2023* and* June 30, 2023*, the Company had outstanding forward contracts related to hedges of intercompany loans with net unrealized assets of $0.1 million and losses of $1.7 million, respectively, which approximate the unrealized gains and losses on the related loans. The contracts have maturity dates through fiscal year2024, which correspond to the related intercompany loans.
