(UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CSW Industrials, Inc. (“CSWI,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a diversified industrial growth company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. We operate inthree business segments: Contractor Solutions, Specialized Reliability Solutions and Engineered Building Solutions.

Many of our products are used to protect the capital assets of our customers that are expensive to repair or replace and are critical to their operations. We have a source of recurring revenue from the maintenance, repair and overhaul and consumable nature of many of our products. We also provide some custom engineered products that strengthen and enhance our customer relationships. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as AC Guard®, Air Sentry®, Balco®, Cover Guard®, Deacon®, Dust Free®, Falcon Stainless®, Greco®, Jet-Lube®, Kopr-Kote®, Leak Freeze®, Metacaulk®, No. 5®, OilSafe®, RectorSeal®, Safe-T-Switch®, Shoemaker Manufacturing®, Smoke Guard®, TRUaire® and Whitmore®.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 (“Quarterly Report”), include all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities directly attributable to CSWI and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements are for us and our consolidated subsidiaries, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary, except our 50% investment in a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary and therefore have consolidated into our financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of CSWI’s financial position as of June 30, 2024, and the results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in CSWI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).

Accounting Policies

We have consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Developments

ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. This ASU will be effective for our Form 10-K for fiscal 2026. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our financial statement disclosures.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Dust Free, LP

On February 6, 2024, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Dust Free, LP ("Dust Free"), based in Royse City, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of $34.2 million (including $0.6 million cash acquired), comprised of cash consideration of $27.4 million (including a final working capital true-up receipt of $0.5 million) and contingent considerations initially measured at $6.8 million based on Dust Free meeting defined operational and financial targets over a period of 6 years. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7). The Dust Free products offer residential and commercial indoor air quality and HVAC/R applications and supplement our Contractor Solutions segment's existing product portfolio. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was classified as a long-term liability of $6.8 million, of which $2.1 million was determined using an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations and $4.7 million was determined using a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results. During the year ended March 31, 2024, we incurred $0.7 million in transaction expenses in connection with the Dust Free acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the Contractor Solutions segment.

The Dust Free acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805"). The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $3.2 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning products that are complementary to our existing HVAC/R offerings and provide a meaningful value proposition to our customers. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired comprises customer lists ($20.1 million), trademark ($1.6 million), accounts receivable ($2.9 million), cash ($0.6 million), inventory ($4.1 million), other current asset ($0.4 million) and equipment ($3.6 million), net of current liabilities (2.3 million). Customer lists are being amortized over 15 years and the definite-life trademark ($0.6 million) is being amortized over 2 years while the indefinite-life trademark ($1.0 million) and goodwill are not being amortized. The Company's evaluation of the facts and circumstances available as of February 6, 2024, to assign fair values to assets acquired is ongoing. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill and all intangible assets are deductible and amortized over 15 years for income tax purposes. Dust Free activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

3. CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Whitmore Joint Venture

On April 1, 2021, Whitmore Manufacturing, LLC (“Whitmore”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSWI, completed the formation of the joint venture (the "Whitmore JV") with Pennzoil-Quaker State Company dba SOPUS Products (“Shell”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell USA, Inc. that comprises Shell’s U.S. lubricants business.

The Whitmore JV is deemed to be a VIE as the equity investors at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The major factor that led to the conclusion that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE is that Whitmore has the power to direct the most significant activities due to its ability to direct the manufacturing decisions of the Whitmore JV. Whitmore JV's total net assets are presented below (in thousands):

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Whitmore JV generated net income of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

The Whitmore JV's LLC Agreement contains a put option that gives either member the right to sell its 50% equity interest in the Whitmore JV to the other member at a dollar amount equivalent to 90% of the initiating member's equity interest determined based on the fair market value of the Whitmore JV's net assets. This put option can be exercised, at either member's discretion, by providing written notice to the other member during the month of July 2024 and everytwo years afterwards. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the higher of the redemption value or carrying value each reporting period. Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interest for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):

4. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

The following table provides information about our intangible assets (in thousands, except years):

Amortization expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $5.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The following table shows the estimated future amortization for intangible assets, as of June 30, 2024, for the remainder of the current fiscal year and the next four fiscal years ending March 31 (in thousands):

6. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Refer to Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report for a description of the 2015 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2015 Plan"). As of June 30, 2024,298,174 shares were available for issuance under the 2015 Plan.

We recorded share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, as follows for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

(a) Income tax benefit is estimated using the statutory rate

Restricted share activity was as follows:

(a) Including incremental shares granted as a result of performance-based awards vested exceeding 100%

During the restriction period, the holders of restricted shares are entitled to vote and receive dividends. Unvested restricted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 included 96,509 and 98,029 shares (at target), respectively, with performance-based vesting provisions, and a vesting range of 0%-200% based on pre-defined performance targets with market conditions. Performance-based awards accrue dividend equivalents, which are settled upon (and to the extent of) vesting of the underlying award and do not have the right to vote until vested. Performance-based awards are earned upon the achievement of objective performance targets and are payable in common shares. Compensation expense is calculated based on the fair market value as determined by a Monte Carlo simulation and is recognized over a 36-month cliff vesting period. We granted 18,962 and 29,120 awards with performance-based vesting provisions during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

At June 30, 2024, we had unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted shares of $22.5 million, which will be amortized into net income over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 2.2 years. The total fair value of restricted shares granted during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $6.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $9.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

7. LONG-TERM DEBT

Debt consists of the following (in thousands):

(a) Represents the interest rate effective on June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively, excluding the impact from the interest rate swap.

Revolving Credit Facility

As discussed in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report, prior to December 2022, we maintained a $400.0 million revolving credit facility that contained a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans, with an additional $150.0 million accordion feature ("Second Credit Agreement"). The credit facility is scheduled to mature on May 18, 2026. Borrowings under the Second Credit Agreement bore interest at either base rate plus between 0.25% to 1.50% or LIBOR plus between 1.25% to 2.50%, based on the Company’s leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis. The base rate is described in the Second Credit Agreement as the highest of (i) the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal, and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. We pay a commitment fee between 0.15% to 0.40% based on the Company's leverage ratio for the unutilized portion of this facility. Interest and commitment fees are payable at least quarterly and the outstanding principal balance is due at the maturity date. The Second Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all tangible and intangible assets and stock issued by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to specified exceptions, and 65% of the voting equity interests in its first-tier foreign subsidiaries.

On December 15, 2022, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Second Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to utilize a portion of the accordion feature, thus increasing the commitment from $400.0 million to $500.0 million, and concurrently reduced the available incremental accordion by a corresponding amount (the term "Revolving Credit Facility" as used throughout this document refers to the Second Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment, as applicable). The Second Amendment also replaced the LIBOR Rate with individualized metrics based on the specific denomination of borrowings, including a metric based on Term SOFR (as defined in the Second Credit Agreement) for borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Company incurred a total of $0.7 million in underwriting fees in connection with the Second Amendment, which are being amortized over the remaining term of the Second Credit Agreement.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we borrowed $7.7 million and repaid $58.7 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we had $115.0 million and $166.0 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which resulted in borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility of $385.0 million and $334.0 million, respectively. The financial covenants contained in the Second Credit Agreement require the maintenance of a maximum leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, subject to a temporary increase to 3.75 to 1.00 for 18 months following the consummation of permitted acquisitions with consideration in excess of certain threshold amounts set forth in the Second Credit Agreement. The Second Credit Agreement also requires the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00, the calculations and terms of which are defined in the Second Credit Agreement. Covenant compliance is tested quarterly, and we were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2024.

Interest payments on the first $100.0 million borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility are hedged under an interest rate swap agreement as described in Note 9.

8. LEASES

We have operating leases for manufacturing facilities, offices, warehouses, vehicles and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 24 years, some of which include escalation clauses and/or options to extend or terminate the leases. We do not currently have any financing lease arrangements.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

We enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge exposure to floating interest rates on certain portions of our debt. All interest rate swaps are highly effective.

On February 7, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on the first $100.0 million borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility. This interest rate swap fixes the one-month SOFR rate at 3.85% for the first $100.0 million borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility and will expire on May 18, 2026. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we had $100.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding designated interest rate swaps with third parties.

The fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument is summarized below (in thousands):

The impact of changes in fair value of the interest rate swap is included in Note 15.

Current and non-current derivative assets are reported in our consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively. Current and non-current derivative liabilities are reported in our consolidated balance sheets in accrued and other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the numerator and the denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common stock

The number of shares of common stock issued and treasury stock, and associated share activity, are as follows:

Share Repurchase Program

On November 7, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $75.0 million of our common stock over atwo-year period. On October 30, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock, which replaced the prior announced $75.0 million program. On December 16, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new $100.0 million share repurchase program, which replaced the previously announced $100.0 million program. Under the current repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases will be made at our discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. Our Board of Directors has established an expiration date of December 31, 2024, for completion of the current repurchase program; however, the program may be limited or terminated at any time at our discretion without notice.

Under the current $100.0 million repurchase program, a total 18,792 were repurchased for the three months ended June 30, 2024 for $4.7 million andno shares were repurchased for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

In connection with the vesting of share awards, a total of 14,283 shares for $3.3 million and 20,614 shares for $2.9 million were tendered by employees to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Dividends

On April 14, 2023, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.19 per share. On April 12, 2024, we announced another quarterly dividend increase to $0.21 per share. Total dividends of $3.3 million and $2.9 million were paid during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On July 12, 2024, we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share payable on August 9, 2024 to shareholders of record as of July 26, 2024. Any future dividends at the existing $0.21 per share quarterly rate or otherwise will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the interest rate swap contract (as discussed in Note 9) is determined using Level 2 inputs. The carrying value of our debt (discussed in Note 7) approximates fair value as it bears interest at variable rates. The carrying amounts of other financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable) approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 due to their short-term nature.

The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the higher of the redemption value or carrying value each reporting period. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires management judgment with respect to future revenue, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates and is classified as Level III under the fair value hierarchy. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is discussed in Note 3.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to acquisitions is determined using either a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results or an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations. The contingent consideration liability is recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and is remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value. The increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration can result from changes in future operations, forecasted revenue and assumed discount rates. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and is classified as Level III under the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the contingent consideration liability reported in the balance sheets was $7.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

13. CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no matters pending, whether individually or in the aggregate, that we currently believe have a reasonable possibility of having a material impact to our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

14. INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we earned $52.8 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $13.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.4%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), provision for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"), executive compensation limitations, and increases to penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions ("UTP"); offset by foreign tax credits and excess tax deductions related to equity compensation and foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII").

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we earned $41.5 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $10.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.2%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), executive compensation limitations, stock-based compensation deferred tax asset ("DTA") write-offs, and GILTI; offset by excess tax deductions related to FDII, non-controlling interest, foreign tax credits and R&D credits.

The Company expects $3.6 million of reserves for UTPs to either be settled or expire within the next 12 months as the statutes of limitations expire.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development introduced a framework under Pillar Two which includes a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Many jurisdictions in which we do business have started to enact laws implementing Pillar Two. We are monitoring these developments and currently do not believe these rules will have a material impact on our financial condition and/or consolidated results.

15. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The following table provides an analysis of the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss (in thousands):

(a) Unrealized gain (loss) is reclassified to earnings as underlying cash interest settlements are made or received. We expect to recognize a gain of $0.9 million, net of deferred taxes, over the next twelve months related to the designated cash flow hedge based on its fair value at June 30, 2024.

(b) Amortization of actuarial gains (losses) out of accumulated comprehensive loss are included in the computation of net periodic pension expense.

16. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Refer to Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report for a description of our disaggregation of revenues. Disaggregation of revenues reconciled to our reportable segments is as follows (in thousands):

Contract liabilities, which are included in accrued and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets were as follows (in thousands):

17. SEGMENTS

As discussed in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report, we conduct our operations through three reportable segments:

•Contractor Solutions

•Specialized Reliability Solutions

•Engineered Building Solutions

The following is a summary of the financial information of our reporting segments reconciled to the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements (in thousands).
