Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of LSI Industries Inc. (an Ohio corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies the performance obligation in its customer contracts or purchase orders. Most of the Company’s products have a single performance obligation which is satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Control is generally transferred at the time of shipment when title and risk of ownership passes to the customer. For customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price and any discounts to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. Payment terms are typically within30 to90 days from the shipping date, depending on the terms with the customer. The Company offers standard warranties that donot represent separate performance obligations.
Installation is a separate performance obligation, except for the Company’s digital signage products. For digital signage products, installation isnot a separate performance obligation as the product and installation is the combined item promised in digital signage contracts. The Company isnot always responsible for installation of products it sells and hasno post-installation responsibilities other than standard warranties.
A number of the Company's display solutions and select lighting products are customized for specific customers. As a result, these customized products donot have an alternative use. For these products, the Company has a legal right to payment for performance to date and generally doesnot accept returns on these items. The measurement of performance is based upon cost plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed. Because there isno alternative use and there is a legal right to payment, the Company transfers control of the item as the item is being produced and therefore recognizes revenue over time. The customized product types are as follows:
| ● | Customer Main Identification (MID) signage, print / digital graphics, and customer specific metal and millwork products |
| ● | Electrical components based on customer specifications |
The Company also offers installation services for its display solutions elements and select lighting products. Installation revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided through the installation process.
For these customized products and installation services, revenue is recognized using a cost-based input method: recognizing revenue and gross profit as work is performed based on the relationship between the actual cost incurred and the total estimated cost for the performance obligation.
On occasion, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangements on a limited basis. Each bill-and-hold arrangement is reviewed and revenue is recognized only when certain criteria have been met: (1) the customer has requested delayed delivery and storage of the products by the Company because the customer wants to secure a supply of the products but lacks storage space; (ii) the risk of ownership has passed to the customer; (iii) the products are segregated from the Company’s other inventory items held for sale; (iv) the products are ready for shipment to the customer; and (v) the Company doesnot have the ability to use the products or direct them to another customer.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions
| ● | The Company’s contracts with customers have an expected duration of one year or less, as such, the Company applies the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred and has omitted disclosures on the amount of remaining performance obligations. |
| ● | Shipping costs that are not material in context of the delivery of products are expensed as incurred. |
| ● | The Company’s accounts receivable balance represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive payment from its customers with contracts. Payments are generally due within 30 to 90 days of completion of the performance obligation and invoicing; therefore, payments do not contain significant financing components. |
| ● | The Company collects sales tax and other taxes concurrent with revenue-producing activities which are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment activities and included in cost of products and services sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Credit and Collections:
The Company maintains allowances for credit losses for probable estimated losses resulting from either customer disputes or the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company* maybe required to record additional allowances or charges against income. The Company determines its allowance for credit losses byfirst* considering all known collectability problems of customers’ accounts and then applying certain percentages against the various aging categories based on the due date of the remaining receivables. The resulting allowance for credit losses is an estimate based upon the Company’s knowledge of its business and customer base, the current economic climate, and historical trends. Receivables deemed uncollectable are written off against the allowance for credit losses after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company also establishes allowances, at the time revenue is recognized, for returns, discounts, pricing, and other possible customer deductions. These allowances are based upon historical trends. The following table presents the Company’s net accounts receivable at the dates indicated.
| Net Accounts Receivable · · · · · · · · | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | | June 30, 2026 | | | June 30, 2025 | |
| · · · · · · · · | ||||||
| Accounts receivable | | $153,126 | | | $105,499 | |
| Less: Allowance for credit losses | | | (1,895) | | | (1,152) |
| Accounts receivable, net | | $151,231 | | | $104,347 | |
The net accounts receivable balance as of* June 30, 2024,*was $78.6 million.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents which have original maturities of less thanthree months. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits and a bank money market account that is stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In the United States, the FDIC limit for insurance coverage on non-interest-bearing accounts is*$250,000* per institution. As of* June 30, 2026,and2025,* the Company had bank balances of $11.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, without insurance coverage.
Inventories, Net:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories includes the cost of purchased raw materials and purchased components, direct labor, as well as manufacturing overhead which is generally applied to inventory based on direct labor and on material content, is determined on thefirst-in,first-out basis.
The Company maintains an inventory reserve for obsolete and excess inventory. The Companyfirst determines its excess and obsolete inventory reserve by considering specific known obsolete items, and then by applying certain percentages to specific inventory categories based upon inventory turns. The Company uses various tools, in addition to inventory turns, to identify which inventory items have the potential to become obsolete. Judgment is used to establish excess and obsolete inventory reserves and management adjusts these reserves as more information becomes available about the ultimate disposition of the inventory item.
49
Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation:
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
| Buildings (in years) | | | 28 - 40 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment (in years) | | | 3 - 10 | |
| Computer software (in years) | | | 3 - 8 | |
Costs related to the purchase, internal development, and implementation of the Company’s fully integrated enterprise resource planning/business operating software system are either capitalized or expensed. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter offifteen years or the remaining term of the lease.
The Company recorded $7.9 million, $6.7 million and $5.0 million of depreciation expense in the years ended* June 30, 2026,*2025, and2024, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, patents, technology and software are recorded on the Company's balance sheet. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized to expense over periods ranging between five andtwenty years. The Company evaluates definite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment when triggering events are identified. Neither indefinite-lived intangible assets nor the excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") are amortized, however, they are subject to review for impairment. See additional information about goodwill and intangible assets in Note9.
Fair Value:
The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, revolving lines of credit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates. The Company hasno financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.
Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in goodwill and other intangible asset impairment analyses, long-lived asset impairment analyses and valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The accounting guidance on fair value measurement was used to measure the fair value of these nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.
Product Warranties:
The Company offers a limited warranty that its products are free from defects in workmanship and materials. The specific terms and conditions vary somewhat by product line, but generally cover defective products returned withinone tofive years, with some exceptions where the terms extend to 10 years, from the date of shipment. The Company records warranty liabilities to cover the estimated future costs for repair or replacement of defective returned products as well as products that need to be repaired or replaced in the field after installation. The Company calculates its liability for warranty claims by applying estimates based upon historical claims as a percentage of sales to cover unknown claims, as well as estimating the total amount to be incurred for known warranty issues. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amount as necessary.

(Royston) which was completed on March 24, 2026.Royston is a leading U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of cabinetry and store fixtures, refrigerated and heated cases, and signage for multiple end markets. Royston’s customer base spans across large, attractive end-markets of convenience, grocery and gas stations and other retail. Royston was acquired for $325.0 million; $320.0 million in cash and $5.0 million in the Company’s common stock, subject to a working capital adjustment. The Company prefunded $13.2 million as an estimate of the cash and working capital acquired which brings the total purchase consideration to $338.2 million. The amount prefunded for cash and working capital will be adjusted in thefirst* quarter of2027 fiscal year to reflect the actual amounts acquired. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs totaling $9.9 million which are included in the selling and administrative expense line of the consolidated statements of operations. The Company funded the initial purchase consideration totaling $338.2 million with a combination of cash on hand, the $150.0 million revolving line of credit, the $200.0 million five-year term loan, and the $98.1 million of net proceeds from the Company’s* February 26, 2026*public common stock offering.
The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination. The Company has preliminarily allocated the purchase price of $338.2 million, which includes an estimate of customary post-closing purchase price adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values is recorded as goodwill. This preliminary allocation is subject to the final determination of the purchase price which will be finalized in fiscal2027, as well as potential revision resulting from the finalization of pre-acquisition tax filings and net working capital adjustments. The Company has finalized thethird-party valuations of certain assets including fixed assets and intangible assets.

NOTE9 —GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company* may**first* assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely thannot that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets arenot impaired,no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely thannot that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are impaired, or if the Company electsnot tofirst assess qualitative factors, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level. The estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate. The estimates of the fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets* mayhave become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may*signal that an asset has become impaired.
The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing. The Company has a total ofeight reporting units that contain goodwill. One reporting unit is within the Lighting Segment andseven reporting units are within the Display Solutions Segment. The tradename intangible assets have an indefinite life and are also tested separately on an annual basis. The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing including, butnot limited to, the Company’s stock price, operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows, and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

NOTE12 — EQUITY COMPENSATION
In* November 2019,the Company’s shareholders approved the2019* Omnibus Award Plan (as amended on* November 1, 2022,the“2019* Omnibus Plan”). The purpose of the2019 Omnibus Plan is to provide a means through which the Company* mayattract and retain key personnel and to provide a means by which directors, officers, and employees can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company. The2019* Omnibus Plan replaced the2012 Stock Incentive Plan (“2012 Stock Plan”). The number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the2019 Omnibus Plan is 5,000,000 which are combined with the remaining shares available under the2012 Stock Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the2019 Omnibus Plan is 994,651 shares all of which are available for future grant or award as of* June 30, 2026*. The2019 Omnibus Plan allows for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock units and other stock-based awards.
Inducement awards are granted by the Company to attract and retain key executives. Inducement awards are separately registered securities and arenot part of the2019 Omnibus Plan. In fiscal2026 85,958 RSUs and 203,614 PSUs were granted, and in fiscal2025, 107,217 RSUs and 279,359 PSUs were granted.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In* Novemberof2021,* our board of directors and shareholders approved the LSI Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). A total of 270,000 shares of common stock were provided for issuance under the ESPP. Employees* mayparticipate at their discretion and are able to purchase, through payroll deduction, common stock at a 10% discount on a quarterly basis. Employees mayend their participation at any time during the offering period, and participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with the company. During fiscal year2026* and2025 employees purchased 19,000 and 17,000 shares, respectively. At* June 30, 2026*,206,000 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP.
Stock Options
The fair value of each option on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the stock options granted in the periods indicated. There wereno options granted in fiscal2026 and2025.
| Dividend yield | 1.4% |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility | 35% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 0.3% |
| Expected life (in years) | 5.0 |
| Fair value per share | $5.25 |
Stock option expense is recorded on a straight-line basis, or sooner if the grantee is retirement eligible as defined in the2019 Omnibus Plan, net of forfeitures. The forfeiture rate is based on historical rates and reduces the compensation expense recognized. The expected volatility of the Company’s stock was calculated based upon the historic monthly fluctuation in stock price for a period approximating the expected life of option grants. The risk-free interest rate is the rate of afive-year Treasury security at constant, fixed maturity on the approximate date of the stock option grant. The expected life of outstanding options is determined to be less than the contractual term for a period equal to the aggregate group of option holders’ estimated weighted average time within which options will be exercised. It is the Company’s policy that when stock options are exercised, new common shares shall be issued.
Service-based options have athree-year ratable vesting period beginningone year after the date of grant. Inducement stock options have a term often years only if the employee is employed forthree years from the date of grant. The maximum exercise period of service-based and performance-based stock options granted under the2019 Omnibus Plan isten years.
The Company recorded $0.4 million, $0.5 million and $0.1 million of expense related to stock options in fiscal years2026, 2025 and2024, respectively.
