NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.

Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 29, 2020, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K covering such period.
Our fiscal year ends on the last day of February and is identified as the fiscal year for the calendar year in which it ends. For example, the fiscal year ending February 28, 2021 is referred to as fiscal 2021.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, and cash flows for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the viral strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The spread of COVID-19 and the resulting economic contraction has resulted in increased business uncertainty. The consequences of a prolonged economic decline could include, but are not limited to, reduced revenues, increased instances of uncollectible customer receivables, and increased asset impairments in future periods. Accordingly, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or the extent to which the disruption may materially impact its consolidated balance sheet, statements of income or statements of cash flows for fiscal year 2021.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instrument
s (“ASU 2016-13”), which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments, including the Company's accounts receivable and contract assets. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of its fiscal 2021 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15,
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract
("ASU 2018-15"), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, in order to determine the applicable costs to capitalize and the applicable costs to expense as incurred. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 in the first quarter of its fiscal 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740),
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.
This standard is intended to simplify the accounting and disclosure requirements for income taxes by eliminating various exceptions in accounting for income taxes as well as clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistency in the application of ASC 740. The standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company did not record any revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2020 or 2019 related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods. The increases or decreases in accounts receivable, contract assets, and contract liabilities during the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019 were due primarily to normal timing differences between the Company’s performance and customer payments. The acquisitions described in Note 10 had no impact on contract assets or liabilities as of the date of acquisitions.
The Company expects to recognize revenues of approximately $10.3 million, $4.6 million, $2.3 million and $0.2 million in fiscal 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024
, respectively, related to the $17.4 million balance of contract liabilities as of May 31, 2020.

Income Taxes
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures include deferring the due dates of tax payments and other changes to their income and non-income-based tax laws as well as providing direct government assistance through grants and forgivable loans. The CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. With respect to the CARES Act, the Company currently expects to benefit from the deferral of certain payroll taxes through the end of calendar year 2020 and the technical correction with respect to qualified improvement property.
The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 45.8% for the three months ended May 31, 2020 as compared to 21.1% for the respective prior year comparable period. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to losses in foreign jurisdictions for which the Company does not anticipate being able to recognize the benefit
and additional uncertain tax positions that were recorded in the quarter related to research and development tax credits.
9.
Share-based Compensation
The Company has
two
share-based compensation plans, the 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") and the Amended and Restated 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”).
The 2014 Plan provides for broad-based equity grants to employees, including executive officers, and members of the board of directors and permits the granting of restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance awards, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2014 Plan is
1.5
million shares and, as of May 31, 2020, the Company had approximately
1.2
million shares reserved for future issuance under this plan.
12
Table of Contents
The 2005 Plan permitted the granting of stock appreciation rights and other equity-based awards to certain employees. This plan was terminated upon the effective date of the 2014 Plan and no future grants may be made under the 2005 Plan. There were stock appreciation rights granted under the 2005 Plan prior to its termination that remain outstanding, and if exercised, such awards will be settled from the balance of shares available for issuance under the 2005 Plan. As of May 31, 2020, there were
0.1
million shares available for issuance under the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan will be formally retired when all remaining outstanding stock appreciation rights are exercised, forfeited or expire. All outstanding stock appreciation rights will expire on or before March 1, 2021.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards
Restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards are valued at the market price of our common stock on the grant date. Awards generally vest ratably over a period of
three years
but these awards may vest earlier in accordance with the Plan’s vesting provisions. RSU awards have dividend equivalent rights (“DERs”), which entitle holders of RSUs to the same dividend value per share as holders of common stock. DERs are subject to the same vesting and other terms and conditions as the corresponding unvested RSUs. DERs are accumulated and paid when the underlying awards vest.
A summary of the Company’s
non-vested restricted stock unit award activity (including DERs) for the three months ended May 31, 2020 is as follows:

Performance Share Unit Awards
The Company grants performance share unit ("PSU") awards to certain employees, which also include DERs as described above. These PSU awards have a three year performance cycle and will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date subject to various vesting conditions. Certain PSU awards have vesting conditions based on the Company’s degree of achievement of a target annual average adjusted return on assets during these three year periods relative to the performance of a predetermined group of peer companies. In addition, these PSU awards may have vesting conditions or certain vesting multipliers, which are based on the Company’s total shareholder return during such three years in comparison to a defined specific industry peer group. The Company estimates the fair value of PSU awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant.
A summary of the Company’
non-vested performance share unit award activity (including DERs) for the three months ended May 31, 2020 is as follows:

Stock Appreciation Rights
Stock appreciation rights ('SARs") were granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of our common stock on the date of grant. These awards generally have a contractual term of
7
years and generally vest ratably over a period of three years from the date of grant although some may vest immediately on issuance. These awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
A summary of the Company’s SARs activity for the three months ended May 31, 2020 is as follows:

0.62
years and such awards had no intrinsic value.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), which allows employees of the Company to purchase common stock of the Company through accumulated payroll deductions. Offerings under the ESPP have a duration of
24
months (the "offering period") and commence on each January 1 and July 1, and ending on June 30 and December 31, respectively. On the first day of an offering period (the “enrollment date”) the participant is granted the option to purchase shares on each exercise date at the lower of
85
% of the market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the enrollment date or the exercise date. The participant’s right to purchase common stock under the plan is restricted to no more than $
25,000
per calendar year and the participant may not purchase more than
5,000
shares during any offering period. Participants may terminate their interest in a given offering or a given exercise period by withdrawing all of their accumulated payroll deductions at any time prior to the end of the offering period. The fair value of the estimated number of shares to be issued under each offering is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company did not issue any shares from the ESPP during the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Share-based Compensation Expense

million and is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.25 years.
The Company’s policy is to issue shares required under these plans from the Company’s authorized but unissued shares.

Results of Operations
Coronavirus (COVID-19
)
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the viral strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The spread of COVID-19 resulted in virtually all governments issuing restrictive orders, including “shelter in place” orders around the globe to assist in mitigating the spread of the virus.
Subsequently, in March 2020, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) department issued guidance clarifying that critical infrastructure industries have a responsibility to maintain operations while these restrictive measures are in place. The Company, based on input from the government and our customers, continued to operate under the CISA guidelines in an effort to support critical infrastructure in the areas where we are either required to do so, or where we are able.
While we continue to support our customers, there remains uncertainties regarding the duration, recurrence and, to what extent, if any, that the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately have on the demand for our products and services or with our supply chain.
As described above the spread of COVID-19 and the resulting economic contraction has resulted in increased business uncertainty. The consequences of a prolonged economic decline could include, but are not limited to, reduced revenues, increased instances of uncollectible customer receivables, and increased asset impairments in future periods. Accordingly, we cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or the extent to which the disruption may materially impact our consolidated balance sheet, statements of income or statements of cash flows for fiscal year 2021.

In addition, in March 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which among other things, provides employer payroll tax credits for wages paid to employees who are unable to work during the COVID-19 pandemic and options to defer payroll tax payments. Based on a preliminary evaluation of the CARES Act, we qualify for the deferral of payroll and other tax payments and we are continuing to evaluate certain employer payroll tax credits.
Overview
We have two distinct operating segments, the Metal Coatings segment and the Energy segment, as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020. Management believes that the most meaningful analysis of our results of operations is to analyze our performance by segment. We use revenue and operating income by segment to evaluate our segments. Segment operating income consists of net sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses that are specifically identifiable to a segment. For a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated operating income, see Note 4 to our quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Orders and Backlog
Our entire backlog, which is inclusive of transaction taxes for certain foreign subsidiaries, relates to our Energy segment and was $205.4 million as of May 31, 2020, a decrease of $38.4 million, or 15.8%, as compared to $243.8 million as of February 29, 2020. Our backlog decreased $94.7 million, or 31.6%, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. For the three months ended May 31, 2020, our incoming net orders decreased by $81.5 million, or 31.8% when compared to same period of fiscal 2020 and our book-to-revenue ratio decreased to 0.82 to 1 from 0.89 to 1. The reductions in backlog were primarily attributable to the impacts on customer activities given COVID-19. Customers have been slower to release orders on project-related electrical platform work and orders were delayed in our industrial platform.

Revenues for the Metal Coatings segment decreased $3.2 million or 2.6% for the three months ended May 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2020. The slight decrease was related to lower volumes and selling prices, which were due primarily to the slowdown in the economy as a result of COVID-19, partially offset by higher revenues in our surface technologies platform from the acquisitions in the prior fiscal year.
Revenues for the Energy segment decreased $72.7 million or 43.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2020. This decrease was related to less overall demand for our electrical products and industrial solutions, which was due primarily to the slowdown in the economy as a result of COVID-19 and softness in the oil and gas markets. In addition, the prior year period included significantly higher electrical product revenues related to a large international project.

Operating income for the Metal Coatings segment decreased $4.3 million or 14.7% for the three months ended May 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2020. Operating margins were 21.1% and 24.1%, for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These declines were related primarily to the lower volumes and selling prices noted above, which were partially offset by lower zinc costs.
Operating income for the Energy segment decreased by $13.6 million or 108.3% for the three months ended May 31, 2020 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2020. Operating margins were (1.1)% and 7.5%, for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These declines were related primarily to the lower revenues noted above.
Corporate Expenses
Corporate expenses decreased by $1.3 million or 11.6%, for the three months ended May 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease was related primarily to lower employee compensation costs and reduced outside services.
Other expense, net
Other expense, net for the three months ended May 31, 2020 was $1.5 million as compared to $0.4 million for the prior year comparable period. This decrease was primarily attributable to foreign currency losses as the dollar strengthened against currencies in Brazil and China.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended May 31, 2020 was $2.6 million as compared to $3.6 million for the prior year comparable period. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower average outstanding debt balances and lower interest rates on variable rate debt. Our gross debt to equity ratio was 0.34 to 1 as of May 31, 2020, compared to 0.48 to 1 as of May 31, 2019.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 45.8% for the three months ended May 31, 2020 as compared to 21.1% for the respective prior year comparable period. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to losses in foreign jurisdictions for which we do not anticipate being able to recognize the benefit
and additional uncertain tax positions that were recorded in the quarter related to research and development tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities along with bank and bond market debt. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities, cash dividend payments, capital improvements, debt repayment, acquisitions and share repurchases. We believe that our cash position, cash flows from operating activities and our expectation of continuing availability to draw upon our credit facilities are sufficient to meet our cash flow needs for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows

For the three months ended May 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $11.2 million, net cash used in investing activities was $10.8 million, net cash provided by financing activities was $11.0 million, and a decrease of $0.7 million from the net effect of exchange rate changes on cash resulting in a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $10.3 million. In comparison to the comparable period in fiscal 2020, the results in the statement of cash flows for operating activities for the three months ended May 31, 2020, are primarily attributable to less negative impacts of changes in working capital, partially offset by lower net income. The Company's use of cash for investing activities was lower due to decreased spending on acquisitions, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities was lower during the three months ended May 31, 2020 as compared to the prior year comparable period due primarily to decreased net borrowings.
Our working capital was $95.4 million as of May 31, 2020, as compared to $73.9 million at February 29, 2020.
Financing and Capital
As of May 31, 2020, the Company had $219.0 million of floating and fixed rate notes outstanding with varying maturities through fiscal 2023 and the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants related to these outstanding borrowings. As of May 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $342.3 million of additional credit available for future draws or letters of credit.
For additional information on the Company's outstanding borrowings see Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and further below under Contractual Obligations.
Share Repurchase Program
In January of 2012, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to ten percent of the then outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, and the amount and prices paid for any future share purchases under the authorization will be based on market conditions and other factors at the time of the purchase. Repurchases under this share repurchase authorization would be made through open market purchases or private transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The Company did not make any repurchases of its common shares during the three months ended May 31, 2020.
Other Exposures
We have exposure to commodity price increases in both segments of our business, primarily copper, aluminum, steel and nickel based alloys in the Energy segment and zinc and natural gas in the Metal Coatings segment. We attempt to minimize these increases through escalation clauses in customer contracts for copper, aluminum, steel and nickel based alloys, when market conditions allow and through fixed cost contract purchases on zinc. In addition to these measures, we attempt to recover other cost increases through improvements to our manufacturing process, supply chain management, and through increases in prices where competitively feasible.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances to determine reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.
During the three months ended May 31, 2020, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk disclosures during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management of the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to the material weaknesses described below, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
As of August 31, 2019, the Company identified multiple control deficiencies that constituted a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for income taxes. Specifically, management identified financial statement errors related to income tax accounting and deficiencies in the Company's tax compliance and reporting program. The financial statement errors impacted current and deferred income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, financial statement recognition and disclosure of uncertain tax positions, and current income taxes payable. These financial statement errors, which were not detected timely by management, were the result of ineffective design and operation of controls pertaining to the preparation of the Company's income tax provision. While these errors were not material to any prior period, and the cumulative effect of correcting additional errors is not material to the current period, the deficiencies identified represent a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management is actively engaged in the implementation of remediation efforts to address the control deficiencies identified above. The remediation plan includes i) new controls over the preparation of the Company’s income tax provision and related disclosures including enhanced management review controls and oversight regarding key aspects of the income tax provision work papers and the Company’s income tax compliance program, and ii) additional training for impacted employees. The establishment of new controls may be supported by a combination of additional internal resources, the use of third party advisors or additional technology.
Management believes the measures described above and others that may be implemented will remediate the material weakness that we have previously identified. As management continues to evaluate and improve internal control over financial reporting, we may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or, in appropriate circumstances, make revisions to our remediation plan.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants and plaintiffs in various routine lawsuits incidental to our business. These proceedings include labor and employment claims, use of the Company’s intellectual property, worker’s compensation, environmental matters, and various commercial disputes, all arising in the normal course of business. Although the outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any potential liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other legal matters cannot be predicted at this time, management, after consultation with legal counsel believes it has strong defenses to all of these matters and does not expect liabilities, if any, from these claims or proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In January of 2012, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to ten percent of the then outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, and the amount and prices paid for any future share purchases under the authorization will be based on market conditions and other factors at the time of the purchase. Repurchases under this share repurchase authorization would be made through open market purchases or private transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The Company did not make any repurchases of its common shares during the three months ended May 31, 2020.
