  1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CSW Industrials, Inc. (the “Company,” “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. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVAC/R”), plumbing products, grilles, registers and diffusers (“GRD”), building safety solutions and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, electrical, general industrial, energy, rail transportation and mining. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States (“U.S.”), Vietnam and Canada, and we have distribution operations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our products are sold directly to end users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, primarily including the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.

Drawing on our innovative and proven technologies, we seek to deliver solutions primarily to contractors that place a premium on superior performance and reliability. We believe our brands are well-known in the specific end markets we serve and have a reputation for high quality. We rely on both organic growth and inorganic growth through acquisitions to provide an increasingly broad portfolio of performance optimizing solutions that meet our customers’ ever-changing needs. We have a successful record of making attractive, synergistic acquisitions in support of this objective, and we remain focused on identifying additional acquisition opportunities in our core end markets.

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®, PF WaterWorks TM, PSP Products TM, 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2024, and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The year-end 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.

  1. ACQUISITIONS

PF WaterWorks, L.P.

On November 4, 2024, we acquired the assets of PF WaterWorks, L.P. (“PF WaterWorks”), based in Houston, Texas for an aggregate purchase price of $43.2 million, comprised of cash considerations of $40.0 million, an estimated working capital true-up adjustment of $2.2 million and contingent considerations initially measured at $1.0 million based on PF WaterWorks meeting defined financial targets over a period of 3.2 years. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand. PF WaterWorks offers innovative, eco-friendly drain management solutions that expand upon, and are complimentary to, our existing plumbing product portfolio. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was classified as a long-term liability of $1.0 million, which was determined using an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in transaction expenses in connection with the PF WaterWorks acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the Contractor Solutions segment.

The PF WaterWorks 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 $12.0 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning products that are expanding our existing plumbing offerings and provide additional drain management solutions to our customers. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired comprises customer lists ($22.8 million), trade name ($2.7 million), patent ($0.4 million), accounts receivable ($1.6 million), inventory ($4.2 million), other current assets ($0.1 million), equipment ($0.1 million) and other assets ($0.3 million), net of current liabilities ($0.9 million) and other liabilities ($0.1 million). Customer lists and patent are being amortized over 15 years and 5 years, respectively, while the trade name and goodwill are not being amortized. The Company’s evaluation of the facts and circumstances available as of November 4, 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. PF WaterWorks activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date.

The disclosure of PF WaterWorks' post-acquisition revenue and net income is not practical due to integration activities since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

PSP Products, Inc.

On August 1, 2024, we acquired the assets of PSP Products, Inc. (“PSP”), based in Manassas, Virginia for an aggregate purchase price of $47.1 million, comprised of cash consideration of $32.5 million, a working capital true-up adjustment of $7.0 million and contingent considerations initially measured at $7.6 million based on PSP meeting defined operational and financial targets over a period of 2.5 years. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility, as defined in Note 7. PSP offers a family of superior surge protection and load management products to our existing HVAC/R offerings. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was classified as a long-term liability of $7.6 million, of which $0.6 million was determined using an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations and $7.0 million was determined using a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, we incurred less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in transaction expenses in connection with the PSP acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the Contractor Solutions segment.

The PSP 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 $9.0 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 additional electrical offerings to our customers. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired comprises customer lists ($24.5 million), trade name ($2.0 million), accounts receivable ($4.4 million), inventory ($8.9 million), other current asset ($0.3 million), equipment ($0.3 million) and other assets ($0.7 million), net of current liabilities ($2.6 million) and other liabilities ($0.4 million). Customer lists are being amortized over 15 years while the trade name and goodwill are not being amortized. The Company’s evaluation of the facts and circumstances available as of August 1, 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. PSP activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date.

The disclosure of PSP's post-acquisition revenue and net income is not practical due to integration activities since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

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 Statements 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 assets ($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.

  1. 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, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell Oil Company 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):

Accounts payable$4,869$6,004

Total liabilities$6,691$7,673

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Whitmore JV generated net income of $0.0 million and $1.7 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 every two years afterwards. No put option was provided in July 2024. 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 nine-month period ended December 31, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

  1. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Prior to September 17, 2024, we maintained the shareholder-approved 2015 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which provided for the issuance of up to 1,230,000 shares of CSWI common stock through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units or other share-based awards, to employees, officers and non-employee directors. On August 15, 2024, our shareholders approved the 2024 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2024 Plan”) and on September 17, 2024, we registered the offering of shares under the 2024 Plan on the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “2024 Plan Registration”). Following the 2024 Plan Registration, no further awards have been or will be granted under the 2015 Plan, and the 2015 Plan’s remaining share reserve for new awards was cancelled. Any awards previously granted under the 2015 Plan will remain outstanding and vest in accordance with their original terms and conditions.

The 2024 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 850,000 shares of CSWI common stock through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units or other share-based awards, to employees, officers and non-employee directors. As of December 31, 2024, and due to awards granted under the 2015 Plan prior to the 2024 Plan Registration, as well as new grant activity under the 2024 Plan,827,520 shares were reserved and available for issuance under the 2024 Plan.

We recorded share-based compensation expense as follows for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

(a) Including incremental shares delivered to grant recipients as a result of performance-based awards vesting in excess of target (100%).

During the restriction period, the holders of restricted shares are entitled to vote and receive dividends. Unvested restricted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 included 95,225 and 96,814 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 grantedno awards with performance-based vesting provisions during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. We granted 18,962 and 29,120 awards with performance-based vesting provisions during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with a vesting range of 0%-200%.

At December 31, 2024, we had unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted shares of $23.0 million, which will be amortized into net income over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 2.1 years. The total fair value of restricted shares granted during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $7.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted shares granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $14.3 million and $12.2 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $11.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $22.1 million and $14.7 million, respectively.

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 million accordion feature (the “Second Credit Agreement”). The credit facility was scheduled to mature on May 18, 2026. The Company incurred a total of $2.3 million in underwriting fees, which are being amortized over the life of the Second Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Second Credit Agreement bore interest at either base rate plus between 0.25% to 1.5% or LIBOR plus between 1.25% to 2.5%, based on the Company’s leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis. The base rate was 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 paid a commitment fee between 0.15% to 0.4% based on the Company’s leverage ratio for the unutilized portion of this facility. Interest and commitment fees were payable at least quarterly and the outstanding principal balance was due at the maturity date. The Second Credit Agreement was 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 reducing 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, which are being amortized over the remaining term of the Second Credit Agreement.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we borrowed $32.7 million and repaid $198.3 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we had $0.0 million and $166.0 million, respectively, in our outstanding balance, which resulted in borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility of $498.7 million (net of credit utilization) 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 December 31, 2024.

Interest payments on the first $100.0 million borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility were hedged under an interest rate swap agreement as described in Note 9 until September 2024, when the balance of the Revolving Credit Facility was paid off using a portion of the proceeds from the equity offering as discussed in Note 11 and the hedge was terminated as described in Note 9.

We have operating leases for manufacturing facilities, offices, warehouses, vehicles and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 23 years, some of which include escalation clauses and/or options to extend or terminate the leases.

  1. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge exposure to floating interest rates on certain portions of our debt.

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 of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. This interest rate swap fixed the one-month SOFR rate at 3.85% for the first $100.0 million borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility and was scheduled to expire on May 18, 2026. In September 2024, upon the payoff of the outstanding Revolving Credit Facility balance, we terminated the interest rate swap and incurred a cash payment of $0.4 million, which was reported in our Consolidated Statements of Income in interest expense, net. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we had $0.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, of notional amount outstanding designated as an interest rate swap with third parties.

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

December 31, 2024March 31, 2024
Current derivative asset$—$1,186
Non-current derivative asset—221

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 long-term liabilities, respectively.

Equity Offering

In September 2024, the Company completed a follow-on equity offering, and issued and sold a total of 1,265,000 shares of our common stock to the public, including shares issued pursuant to the underwriters' full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering a price of $285 per share. We received proceeds of $347.4 million, net of underwriting fees and discounts and expenses incurred directly related to the offering. We used a portion of the proceeds to pay off the outstanding balance of our Revolving Credit Facility, as discussed in Note 7, and we plan to use the remainder of the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions.

Share Repurchase Program

On December 16, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock over atwo-year period. On November 18, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new $200.0 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, 2026, for completion of the current repurchase program; however, such program may be limited or terminated at any time at our discretion without notice.

Under the current $200.0 million repurchase program, a total of 5,705 shares were repurchased during the three months ended December 31, 2024 for $2.2 million. Under the prior $100.0 million repurchase program,6,703 and 39,153 shares were repurchased for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 for $2.6 million and $11.5 million, respectively.25,914 and 32,345 shares were repurchased for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 for $4.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively.

In connection with the vesting of share awards,10,737 and 25,020 shares for $3.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively, were tendered by employees to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.11,939 and 32,553 shares for $2.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, were tendered by employees to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

Dividends

On April 14, 2023, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.19 per share. On April 12, 2024, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.21 per share. On October 11, 2024, we announced another quarterly dividend increase to $0.24 per share. Total dividends of $4.0 million and $2.9 million were paid during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total dividends of $10.6 million and $8.9 million were paid during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On January 16, 2025, we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share payable on February 14, 2025 to shareholders of record as of January 31, 2025. Any future dividends at the existing $0.24 per share quarterly rate or otherwise will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable approximate their fair values at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 due to their short-term nature. Cash equivalents generally consist of money market funds invested with a reputable and highly diversified global bank in instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The fair value of these cash equivalents is based on quoted market price, which is a Level I input. The carrying value of our debt (discussed in Note 7) approximates fair value as it bears interest at variable rates. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract (as discussed in Note 9) is determined using Level II inputs.

The long-term investments with no readily determinable fair value are measured using the alternative for fair value and the investment's carrying value is reported at cost, adjusted for impairments or any observable price changes in ordinary transactions with identical or similar investments. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the long-term investments reported in the balance sheets were $2.9 million and$0.4 million, respectively.

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 December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the contingent consideration liability reported in the balance sheets was $16.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

  1. 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.

  1. INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, we earned $31.3 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $4.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 13.8%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we earned $133.6 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $31.2 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.3%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), executive compensation limitations, and provision for global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”); offset by release of uncertain tax positions (“UTP”) due to lapse of statute, excess tax deductions related to equity compensation, foreign currency rate impact on the cumulative unrepatriated foreign earnings, foreign tax credits and foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”).

In connection with the T.A. Industries, Inc. (“TRUaire”) acquisition that closed in December 2020, the Company recognized a UTP of $17.3 million related to pre-acquisition tax periods. In addition, in accordance with the tax indemnification provided by the seller to the Company for up to $12.5 million related to UTPs taken in pre-acquisition years, we recognized a tax indemnification asset of $12.5 million, $5 million of which was released in the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the remaining $7.5 million tax indemnification asset expired and was recognized as non-cash other expense on the statement of income, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, $2.7 million of the UTP accrual (including penalties and interests accrued post-acquisition) was released due to the expiration of the tax statutes and was recorded as an income tax benefit. As of December 31, 2024, the UTP accrual related to TRUaire's pre-acquisition tax periods was $12.7 million and is expected to be released in the future as the statutes on the open tax years expire.

In connection with the Falcon Stainless, Inc. (“Falcon”) acquisition that closed in October 2022, the Company recognized a UTP of $3.0 million related to pre-acquisition tax periods. In addition, in accordance with the tax indemnification provided by the seller to the Company for up to $4.5 million related to UTPs taken in pre-acquisition years, we recognized an initial tax indemnification asset of $3.0 million, which will either be settled or expire upon the closure of the tax statutes for the pre-acquisition periods. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, as a result of the statue expiration, $0.9 million UTP was released and the related $0.9 million tax indemnification asset expired concurrently and was recognized as non-cash other expense on the statement of income, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, as a result of the statute expiration, $1.0 million UTP was released and the related $1.0 million tax indemnification asset expired concurrently and was recognized as non-cash other expense on the statement of income. As of December 31, 2024, the UTP reserves and offsetting indemnification asset related to Falcon's pre-acquisition period were $1.8 million. The Falcon UTP reserves and offsetting indemnification asset will either be settled or expire upon the closure of the tax statutes for the pre-acquisition period.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we earned $16.4 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $7.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 43.2%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, we earned $98.5 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $28.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.4%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to the tax impact on the aforementioned release of the indemnification assets, the release of

UTPs, the impact of US federal provision to return adjustments, state income tax (net of federal benefit), executive compensation limitations, and the inclusions related to foreign operations.

The Company expects $6.2 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 ("Pillar Two"), which includes a global minimum tax rate of 15% that applies to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2024, with certain remaining provisions to be effective in 2025. Certain jurisdictions in which we do business have enacted laws implementing Pillar Two. Based on our current forecast, we do not expect the Pillar Two rules to apply to the Company in the near term. We are monitoring these developments and do not believe these rules will have a material impact on our financial condition and/or consolidated results.
