SCANSOURCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(1) Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description

ScanSource, Inc. is a leading global provider of technology products and solutions. ScanSource, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the Company") provide value-added solutions for technology manufacturers and sell to resellers in the following specialty technology markets: POS and Barcode, Security and 3D Printing through its Worldwide Barcode & Security segment and video, voice, and network solutions through its Worldwide Communications & Services segment.

The Company operates in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. The Company distributes to the United States and Canada from its distribution centers located in Mississippi, Virginia and California; to Latin America principally from distribution centers located in Florida, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia; and to Europe from distribution centers located in Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ScanSource, Inc. have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring and non-recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the results of operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the statements of comprehensive income for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The results of operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 from the information included in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains some zero-balance, disbursement accounts at various financial institutions in which the Company does not maintain significant depository relationships. Due to the nature of the Company’s banking relationships with these institutions, the Company does not have the right to offset most if not all outstanding checks written from these accounts against cash on hand, and the respective institutions are not legally obligated to honor the checks until sufficient funds are transferred to fund the checks. Checks released but not yet cleared from these accounts in the amounts of $76.7 million and $62.9 million are included in accounts payable as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard for contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction

8


price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is prohibited. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017, which is the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new standard.

(2) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common and potential common shares outstanding.

(4) Acquisitions
Imago

On September 19, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Imago Group plc, a European value-added distributor of video and voice communications equipment and services, through a newly-formed special purchase entity. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company changed Imago's name to ScanSource Video Communications Ltd. (dba Imago ScanSource). Imago ScanSource joined the Company’s Worldwide Communications and Services operating segment. This acquisition supports the Company’s strategy to be the leading value-added distributor of video, voice, and networking solutions for resellers in Europe.

Under the share purchase agreement, the Company structured the purchase transaction with an initial cash payment of $37.4 million, plus two additional annual cash installments for the twelve month periods ending September 30, 2015 and 2016, based on the financial performance of Imago ScanSource. The Company acquired $1.9 million of cash during the acquisition, resulting in net $35.5 million cash paid for Imago ScanSource. Please see Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information regarding the fair value accounting for this contingent consideration.

Pro forma results of operations and a complete purchase price allocation have not been presented for this acquisition because the results of this acquisition are not material to our consolidated results individually or in aggregate with other acquisitions during the relative fiscal year. The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date, resulting in goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. The purchase price allocated to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets as of the acquisition date is as follows:

 
Goodwill
 
Identifiable Intangible Assets
 
(in thousands)
Imago ScanSource
$
18,266

 
$
19,606


Intangible assets acquired include trade names, customer relationships, and non-compete agreements.

For tax purposes, due to the nondeductible nature of the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability in the amount of $4.1 million. The deferred tax liability represents the difference between the book and tax bases in the assets and will decrease over time as the assets are amortized for book purposes.

Network1

On January 13, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Intersmart Comércio Importação Exportação de Equipamentos Eletrônicos, S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, and its related entities (collectively “Network1”) from the Network1 shareholders. Network1 is a Brazilian value-added distributor of communications equipment and services and joins the Company’s Worldwide Communications and Services operating segment. ScanSource is committed to becoming the leading value-added distributor of communications solutions for resellers in Latin America, and this acquisition represents an important step in this strategy.

Under the share purchase and sale agreement, the Company structured the purchase transaction with an initial cash payment of approximately $29.1 million, plus four additional annual cash installments based on a form of adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") for the periods ending June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2018. The Company acquired $4.8 million of cash during the acquisition, resulting in $24.3 million net cash paid for Network1. The Company assumed net debt of $35.2 million as part of the initial purchase consideration.

Pro forma results of operations and a complete purchase price allocation have not been presented for this acquisition because the results of this acquisition are not material to our consolidated results individually or in aggregate with other acquisitions during the relative fiscal year. The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date. As of the date of this report, initial purchase accounting for the business combination, which includes valuation of indefinite-lived intangible assets and certain tangible assets, has not been finalized; therefore, purchase price allocation estimates presented are subject to change. Please see Note 8, Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information regarding the fair value accounting for this contingent consideration and Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies for further information regarding pre-acquisition contingencies and related indemnification receivables related to this acquisition.

KBZ

On September 4, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of KBZ Communications, Inc. ("KBZ"), a Cisco Authorized Distributor specializing in video conferencing, services, and cloud. KBZ joins the Company's Worldwide Barcode and Security operating segment. This acquisition supports the Company's strategy to be the leading value-added distributor of specialty technology products and solutions. The results of operations of KBZ have been included in the consolidated results from the date of acquisition.

Under the asset purchase agreement, the Company acquired the assets of KBZ for a cash payment of $64.6 million. The Company acquired $3.1 million of cash during the acquisition, resulting in net $61.5 million cash paid for KBZ.

The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date. Due to the proximity of the acquisition date to the end of the quarter, the valuation of tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and goodwill is still in process at the date of this filing, therefore, estimates provided are subject to change. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented for this acquisition because the results of this acquisition are not material to our consolidated results.

(6) Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt

Short-Term Borrowings

Imago ScanSource has multi-currency invoice discounting credit facilities secured by the subsidiary’s assets for its operations based in the United Kingdom and France. The invoice discounting facilities allow for the issuance of funds up to 85% of the amount of each invoice processed, subject to limits by currency of £4.1 million, €4.1 million, and $0.7 million. Borrowings under the invoice discounting facilities bear interest at a base rate determined by currency, plus a spread of 1.85%. The base rate is the United Kingdom base rate published by the Bank of England for GBP-based borrowings, 30-day Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EUROLIBOR") for Euro-based borrowings, and the Lloyds Bank daily USD published rate for the USD-based borrowings. Additionally, the Company is assessed an annual commitment fee of less than £0.1 million. There were no outstanding balances at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a $300 million multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on October 11, 2016. On November 6, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment of this credit facility ("Amended Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks to extend its maturity to November 6, 2018. The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit and has a $150 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $450 million, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments for the lenders participating in the increase. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.5 million in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement, which were capitalized to other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and added to the unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit facility.

At the Company's option, loans denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon the Company's ratio of total debt (excluding accounts payable and accrued liabilities), measured as of the end of the most recent quarter, to adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the most recently completed four quarters (the "Leverage Ratio"). The Leverage Ratio calculation excludes the Company's subsidiaries in Brazil. This spread ranges from 1.00% to 2.25% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 1.25% for alternate base rate loans. The spread in effect for the period ended September 30, 2015 was 1.00% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% for alternate base rate loans. Additionally, the Company is assessed commitment fees ranging from 0.175% to 0.40%, depending upon the Leverage Ratio, on

non-utilized borrowing availability, excluding swingline loans. The commitment fee rate in effect for the period ended September 30, 2015 was 0.175%. Borrowings are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and a pledge of up to 65% of capital stock or other equity interest in certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be either material or a subsidiary borrower as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of September 30, 2015. There was $87.0 million and $0.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

The average daily balance during the three month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $30.7 million and $0.0 million, respectively. There was $213 million and $300 million available for additional borrowings as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively. There were no letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.

Long-Term Debt

On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Mississippi to provide financing for the acquisition and installation of certain equipment to be utilized at the Company’s Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility, through the issuance of an industrial development revenue bond. The bond matures on September 1, 2032 and accrues interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a spread of 0.85%. The terms of the bond allow for payment of interest only for the first 10 years of the agreement, and then, starting on September 1, 2018 through 2032, principal and interest payments are due until the maturity date or the redemption of the bond. The agreement also provides the bondholder with a put option, exercisable only within 180 days of each fifth anniversary of the agreement, requiring the Company to pay back the bonds at 100% of the principal amount outstanding. As of September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this bond. The balance on the bond was $5.4 million as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and is included in long-term debt. The interest rate at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 was 1.05% and 1.03%, respectively.

Network1 held a term loan agreement, denominated in U.S. dollars, with Banco Safra to provide funding for working capital needs. The loan was secured by accounts receivable of the subsidiary. The term loan matured on September 21, 2015 and was paid in full. The terms of this loan provided for quarterly payments and bore interest at 3.6% per annum. The loan possessed a cross-currency swap contract which bore interest at a base rate equal to the Average One-Day Interbank Deposit Rate ("CDI" rate), plus a spread of 2.75% per annum. The CDI interest rate at June 30, 2015 was approximately 13.6%. The outstanding balance as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 was $0.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Network1 has multiple term loan agreements, denominated in Brazilian reais, with Banco Bradesco, to provide funding for working capital needs. The agreements are collectively secured by accounts receivable of the subsidiary and a personal guarantee by a former shareholder. In general, in the absence of an event of default, the term loans mature on May 9, 2016. The terms of the loans provide for bi-annual payments of varying amounts and bear interest at 11.48% per annum. As of September 30, 2015, the subsidiary was in compliance with all covenants under this loan. The outstanding balance as of September 30, 2015 was $1.4 million, all of which is classified as current. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2015 was $1.8 million.

Network1 holds a term loan agreement, denominated in the Brazilian real, with Banco do Brasil to provide funding for working capital needs. The loan is secured by accounts receivable of the subsidiary and a personal guarantee by a former shareholder. In general, in the absence of an event of default, the term loan matures on October 28, 2017. The terms of this loan provide for monthly payments and bear interest at 12.08% per annum. As of September 30, 2015, the subsidiary was in compliance with all covenants under this loan. The outstanding balance as of September 30, 2015 was $0.7 million, of which $0.3 million is classified as current. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2015 was $0.9 million.
 
Debt Issuance Costs

As of September 30, 2015, net debt issuance costs associated with the credit facility and bonds totaled $1.0 million and are being amortized on a straight-line basis through the maturity date of each respective debt instrument.

(7) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company’s results of operations could be materially impacted by significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These risks and the management of these risks are discussed in greater detail below. In an effort to manage the exposure to these risks, the Company periodically enters into various derivative instruments. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are designated as hedge or non-hedge instruments in accordance with US GAAP. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense.

Foreign Currency Derivatives – The Company conducts a portion of its business internationally in a variety of foreign currencies. The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, and transactions arising from non-functional currency financing or trading activities. The Company’s objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through forward contracts or other hedging instruments with third parties. These contracts hedge the exchange of various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, Brazilian real, euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and Chilean peso. While the Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure, the Company's foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The Company had contracts outstanding for purposes of managing cash flows with notional amounts of $72.0 million and $80.6 million for the exchange of foreign currencies as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively. To date, the Company has chosen not to designate these derivatives as hedging instruments, and accordingly, these instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense. Summarized financial information related to these derivative contracts and changes in the underlying value of the foreign currency exposures are as follows:

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses and are included in other income and expense. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, British pound versus the euro, and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar.

Cross Currency Swaps – Through the acquisition of Network1, the Company has borrowings denominated in foreign currencies that have primarily been hedged into the functional currency of the respective borrowing entity using cross currency swaps in order to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exposures and interest rate exposures on these borrowings. These swaps involve the exchange of principal and fixed interest receipts of U.S. dollar-denominated debt held by one of our Brazilian subsidiaries (Network1) for principal and variable interest payments in Brazilian reais. The impact of the changes in foreign exchange rates of the cross currency debt instruments are recognized as adjustments to other income and expense in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements, which totaled less than $0.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The fair value of the swaps was a receivable of $0.0 million and $0.1 million as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The outstanding swaps were settled and the related borrowings were paid in full during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

(8) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under this guidance, the Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy, which groups fair value measured assets and liabilities based upon the following levels of inputs:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

The assets and liabilities maintained by the Company that are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company’s various debt instruments, deferred compensation plan investments, outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts, cross currency swap agreements and contingent consideration owed to the previous owners of Brasil Distribuidora de Tecnologias Especiais LTDA ("CDC" or "ScanSource Brasil"), Imago ScanSource and Network1. The carrying value of debt is considered to approximate fair value, as the Company’s debt instruments are either indexed to a variable rate using the market approach (Level 2 criteria) or the fixed rate applied approximates the variable rate published as of September 30, 2015.

The investments in the deferred compensation plan are held in a rabbi trust and include mutual funds and cash equivalents for payment of non-qualified benefits for certain retired, terminated or active employees. These investments are recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets or other non-current assets depending on their corresponding, anticipated distributions to recipients, which are reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term non-current liabilities, respectively.

Derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and cross currency swap agreements are measured using the market approach on a recurring basis considering foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers and interest rates quoted by banks (Level 2). See Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities. Foreign currency contracts and cross currency swap agreements are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued expenses and other current liabilities, depending on the respective instruments' favorable or unfavorable positions.

The Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities at the acquisition date of CDC, Imago ScanSource and Network1 representing the amounts payable to former shareholders, as outlined under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreements, based upon the achievement of a projected earnings measure, net of specific pro forma adjustments. The current and non-current portions of these obligations are reported separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the contingent considerations (Level 3) are determined using a form of a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are recorded to the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Fluctuations due to foreign currency translation are captured in other comprehensive income through the changes in foreign currency translation adjustments line item as seen in Note 3 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

CDC is part of the Company's Worldwide Barcode and Security Segment, and Imago ScanSource and Network1 are part of the Company's Worldwide Communications and Services segment.

The fair values of amounts owed are recorded in current portion of contingent consideration and long-term portion of contingent consideration in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The U.S. dollar amounts of actual disbursements made in connection with future earnout payments are subject to change as the liability is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and subject to foreign exchange fluctuation risk. The Company will revalue the contingent consideration liabilities at each reporting date through the last payment, with changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration reflected in the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Income Statements that is included in the calculation of operating income. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities associated with future earnout payments is based on several factors, including:

estimated future results, net of pro forma adjustments set forth in the share purchase agreements;
the probability of achieving these results; and
a discount rate reflective of the Company’s creditworthiness and market risk premium associated with the Brazilian and European markets.

A change in any of these unobservable inputs can significantly change the fair value of the contingent consideration.










18


Barcode and Security Segment

The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to CDC recognized at September 30, 2015 was $4.1 million, all of which is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of $0.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The change this quarter is driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange between the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar has driven changes in the translation of this Brazilian real denominated liability. The liability for the contingent consideration recognized related to CDC is undiscounted, based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of adjusted earnings.

Communications and Services Segment

The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Imago ScanSource recognized at September 30, 2015 was $5.6 million of which $2.8 million is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The change for this quarter is largely driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and better than expected results. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange between the British pound and the U.S. dollar has driven changes in the translation of this British pound denominated liability. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range between $5.3 million and $6.1 million, based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of adjusted earnings, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Network1 recognized at September 30, 2015 was $19.4 million of which $8.6 million is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The change for this quarter is largely driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange between the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar has driven changes in the translation of this Brazilian real denominated liability. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range up to $26.0 million, based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of adjusted earnings, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus the effects of foreign exchange.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to lawsuits arising out of operations. Although there can be no assurance, based upon information known to the Company, the Company believes that any liability resulting from an adverse determination of such lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

During the Company's due diligence for the CDC and Network1 acquisitions, several pre-acquisition contingencies were identified regarding various Brazilian federal and state tax exposures. The Company is able to record indemnification receivables that are reported gross of the pre-acquisition contingency liabilities as they were escrowed or claimed against future earnout payments in the share purchase agreements. However, indemnity claims can be made up to the entire purchase price, which includes the initial payment and all future earnout payments. The table below summarizes the balances and line item presentation of these pre-acquisition contingencies and corresponding indemnification receivables in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2015:

(11) Income Taxes
The Company had approximately $1.3 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015. Of this total at September 30, 2015, approximately $0.9 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that are permanent in nature and, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company does not believe that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date.
The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in countries and states in which it operates. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before June 30, 2010.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $1.2 million accrued for interest and penalties.


22


Income taxes for the interim period presented have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to the amount of tax resulting from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, the Company includes certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax provision. There were no material discrete items during the period.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily as a result of income derived from tax jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, nondeductible expenses, and state income taxes.

The Company has provided for U.S. income taxes for the current earnings of its Canadian subsidiary.  Earnings from all other geographies will continue to be considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment. 
In prior years, financial results in Europe have generated pre-tax losses, primarily due to our European Communications business. Financial results in Belgium for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 produced pre-tax income of approximately $0.9 million. In the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.
Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

ScanSource, Inc. is a leading global provider of technology products and solutions. ScanSource, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") provide value-added solutions for over 300 technology manufacturers and sell to approximately 36,000 resellers in the following specialty technology markets: POS and Barcode, Networking, Security, 3D Printing, and Communications.

We operate our business under a management structure that enhances our worldwide technology markets focus and growth strategy. As a part of this structure, ScanSource has two technology segments, each with its own president. The two segments are Worldwide Barcode & Security, which includes ScanSource POS and Barcode and ScanSource Security business units, and Worldwide Communications & Services, which encompasses ScanSource Catalyst, ScanSource Communications and ScanSource Services Group business units. The reporting segments of Worldwide Barcode & Security and Worldwide Communications & Services give the Company the ability to leverage its size and experience to deliver more value to our vendor and reseller partners in its existing markets.

On October 1, 2015, we branded ScanSource Security as ScanSource Networking and Security to carry all our networking and security vendors.  These changes moved some business operations from our Communications & Services segment to our Barcode & Security segment.  Starting with the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, we will reclassify prior period results to provide comparable information.

The Company operates in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. The Company distributes to the United States and Canada from its distribution centers located in Mississippi, Virginia and California; to Latin America principally from distribution centers located in Florida, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia; and to Europe principally from distribution centers in Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

The Company distributes products for many of its key vendors in all of its geographic markets; however, certain vendors only allow distribution to specific geographies. The Company's key vendors in barcode technologies include Bematech, Cisco, Datalogic, Elo, Epson, Honeywell, Ingenico, NCR, Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions, Verifone and Zebra Technologies. The Company's key vendors for security technologies include Arecont, Axis, Bosch, Cisco, Datacard, Exacq Technologies, HID, March Networks, Panasonic, Ruckus Wireless, Samsung, Sony and Zebra Card. The Company's key vendors in communications technologies include Aruba, AudioCodes, Avaya, Cisco, Dialogic, Jabra, Mitel, Plantronics, Polycom, ShoreTel and Spectralink.

On September 4, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of KBZ Communications, Inc., a Cisco Authorized Distributor specializing in video conferencing, services, and cloud. KBZ joins the Company's Worldwide Barcode and Security operating segment. This acquisition supports the Company's strategy to be the leading value-added distributor of specialty technology products and solutions.

On January 13, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Network1, a Brazilian value-added distributor of communications equipment and services. Network1 joins the Company’s Worldwide Communications and Services operating segment. ScanSource is committed to becoming the leading value-added distributor of communications solutions for resellers in Latin America, and this acquisition represents an important step in this strategy.


23


On September 19, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Imago Group plc, a European value-added distributor of video and voice communications equipment and services, through a newly-formed special purchase entity. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company changed Imago's name to ScanSource Video Communications Ltd. (dba Imago ScanSource). Imago ScanSource is a part of the Company’s Worldwide Communications and Services operating segment. This acquisition supports the Company’s strategy to be the leading value-added distributor of specialty technology solutions for resellers in Europe.

During fiscal year 2014, the Barcode & Security segment added 3D printing solutions as a product offering targeting the manufacturing, healthcare, aerospace, and automotive markets. 3D printing solutions replace and complement traditional methods and reduce the time and cost of designing new products by printing real parts directly from digital input.

We implemented a new ERP system in our European operations (excluding Imago ScanSource) and North American operations in February 2015 and July 2015, respectively. We intend to implement the new ERP system in additional geographical operations.

Our objective is to continue to grow profitable sales in the technologies we distribute. We continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions to enhance our technological and geographic portfolios, as well as introduce new product lines to our line card. In doing so, we face numerous challenges that require attention and resources. Certain business units and geographies continue to experience increased competition for the products we distribute. This competition may come in the form of pricing, credit terms, service levels and product availability. As this competition could affect both our market share and pricing of our products, we may change our strategy in order to effectively compete in the marketplace.

Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, return on invested capital ("ROIC") and "constant currency." Constant currency is a measure that excludes the translation exchange impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates between reporting periods. We use non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that we report may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS

To evaluate current period performance on a clearer and more consistent basis with prior periods, the Company discloses non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and acquisition costs. Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS are useful in better assessing and understanding the Company's operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods.
Below we are providing a non-GAAP reconciliation of operating income, net income and earnings per share adjusted for the costs and charges mentioned above:

Return on Invested Capital

Management uses ROIC as a performance measurement to assess efficiency at allocating capital under the Company's control to generate returns. Management believes this metric balances the Company's operating results with asset and liability management, is not impacted by capitalization decisions and is considered to have a strong correlation with shareholder value creation. In addition, it is easily computed, communicated and understood. ROIC also provides management a measure of the Company's profitability on a basis more comparable to historical or future periods.

ROIC assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes changes in fair value of contingent consideration and acquisition costs. We believe the calculation of ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance during the year. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors uses ROIC in evaluating business and management performance. Certain management incentive compensation targets are set and measured relative to ROIC.
 
We calculate ROIC as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus change in fair value of contingent consideration and other non-GAAP adjustments ("adjusted EBITDA") divided by invested capital. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. The following table summarizes annualized return on invested capital ratio for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Results of Operations
Currency

We make references to "constant currency," a non-GAAP performance measure that excludes the foreign exchange rate impact from fluctuations in the weighted-average foreign exchange rates between reporting periods. Constant currency is calculated by translating current period results from currencies other than the U.S. dollar using the comparable weighted-average foreign exchange rates from the prior year period. This information is provided to view financial results without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby enhancing comparability between reporting periods.

Net Sales

Worldwide Barcode & Security

The Barcode & Security segment consists of sales to technology resellers in North America, Europe, and Latin America. Sales for the Barcode & Security segment increased $14.7 million compared to the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Barcode & Security segment increased $49.0 million, which represents a 9.8% increase compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in Barcode & Security sales for the current quarter as compared to the prior year is primarily due to the inclusion of KBZ sales for a portion of the quarter, which we acquired in September 2015. This increase was partially offset by a negative impact on sales from our international business units due to foreign currency fluctuations.

Worldwide Communications & Services
The Communications & Services segment consists of sales to technology resellers in North America, Europe and Latin America. Sales for the Communications & Services segment increased $64.4 million compared to the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the Communications & Services segment increased $67.3 million, which represents a 23.1% increase compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in Communications & Services sales for the current quarter compared to the prior year is primarily due to the inclusion of a full quarter of Imago ScanSource and Network1 sales, which we acquired in September 2014 and January 2015, respectively.

Worldwide Barcode & Security

Gross profit dollars increased and gross profit margin remained relatively flat for the Barcode & Security segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in gross profit dollars is primarily due to the inclusion of gross profit from KBZ partially offset by changes in foreign currency translation of our European and Brazilian operations.

Worldwide Communications & Services

In the Communications & Services segment, gross profit dollars increased and gross profit margin remained relatively flat for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in gross profit dollars is primarily due to increased sales volume, directly attributable to results from acquisitions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $13.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The increase in SG&A compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to additional SG&A for the recent acquisitions, employee-related expenses, and increased bad debt expense. The Company had a credit for bad debt expense in the prior year quarter due to improved collections and accounts receivable agings at the time.

We present changes in fair value of the contingent consideration owed to the former shareholders of CDC, Imago ScanSource and Network1 as a separate line item in operating expenses. In the current quarter, we have recorded fair value adjustment losses of $1.6 million. These losses are primarily the result of the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and changes in actual results.

Worldwide Barcode & Security

For the Barcode & Security segment, operating income increased, yet operating margin remained consistent for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in operating income was largely due to increased sales volume, partially offset by increased employee-related operating expenses and increased bad debt expense.

Worldwide Communications & Services

For the Communications & Services segment, operating income and operating margin decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in employee-related operating expenses, which are a result of the new employees gained through acquisitions and increased bad debt expense, partially offset by increased sales volume as a result of acquisitions.

Corporate

Corporate incurred a $0.2 million and $1.4 million expense relating to acquisition costs incurred during the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Interest expense reflects interest incurred on borrowings and cross currency swap agreements, non-utilization fees from the Company's revolving credit facility and amortization of debt issuance costs in the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $0.9 million and includes interest income generated on longer-term interest bearing receivables and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents.

Net foreign exchange losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated from fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the British pound versus the euro, the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar. While we utilize foreign exchange contracts and debt in non-functional currencies to hedge foreign currency exposure, our foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative transactions. For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company's net foreign exchange losses increased over the prior year from significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against currency exposures.


29


Provision for Income Taxes

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, income tax expense was $8.4 million reflecting an effective tax rate of 34.5%. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 34.3%. The increase in the effective tax rate from the prior year quarter is primarily due to a change in the geographical mix of income. Our estimated annual effective tax rate range for the full fiscal year is 34% to 35%.

30


Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under the $300 million revolving credit facility. As a distribution company, our business requires significant investment in working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventory, partially financed through our accounts payable to vendors, cash generated from operations and revolving lines of credit. In general, as our sales volumes increase, our net investment in working capital typically increases, which typically results in decreased cash flow from operating activities. Conversely, when sales volumes decrease, our net investment in working capital typically decreases, which typically results in increased cash flow from operating activities.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $41.2 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $121.6 million at June 30, 2015, including $29.2 million and $43.4 million held outside of the United States at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is primarily from cash used in the purchase of KBZ, cash used for working capital, and cash used for buying back shares. Checks released but not yet cleared in the amounts of $76.7 million and $62.9 million are included in accounts payable as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

We conduct business in many locations throughout the world where we generate and use cash. The Company provides for U.S. income taxes for the earnings of its Canadian subsidiary.  The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes for undistributed earnings from all other geographies that are considered to be retained indefinitely for reinvestment. If these funds were distributed in the operations of the United States, we would be required to record and pay significant additional foreign withholding taxes and additional U.S. federal income taxes upon repatriation of these funds.
 
Our net investment in working capital at September 30, 2015 was $674.6 million compared to $666.0 million at June 30, 2015 and $683.3 million at September 30, 2014. Our net investment in working capital is affected by several factors such as fluctuations in sales volume, net income, timing of collections from customers, increases and decreases to inventory levels, payments to vendors, as well as cash generated or used by other financing and investing activities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $57.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, decreasing $58.4 million from the same period in the prior year. Decreased operating cash flow for the three months ended September 30, 2015, which excludes the impact of the assets and liabilities initially acquired with KBZ, is primarily attributable increases in inventory and prepaid expenses and decreases in account payable.

The number of days sales outstanding ("DSO") was 56 days excluding the impact of KBZ at September 30, 2015, compared to 55 days at both June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. Inventory turned 5.3 times excluding the impact of KBZ during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 versus 5.9 and 5.7 times in the sequential and prior year quarters, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we purchased additional inventory in order to not disrupt our customers and vendors during our SAP implementation in North America.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $61.9 million, compared to $42.8 million used in the prior year period. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily represents the cash used to acquire KBZ. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2014 represents cash used to acquire Imago ScanSource and capital expenditures for the Company's new ERP system.

Management expects capital spending for fiscal year 2016 to range from $9 million to $11 million primarily for facilities expansions and IT investments.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, cash provided by financing activities totaled to $44.5 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $9.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash generated by financing activities was

31


primarily from the net borrowings on the Company' s revolving line of credit, partially offset by cash used by the Company to repurchase its common stock pursuant to its announced share repurchase plan.

In August 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a three-year $120 million share repurchase program. Since the inception of the program through September 30, 2015, the Company has repurchased 1.6 million shares for approximately $60.7 million, of which $41.9 million was repurchased during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

The Company has a $300 million multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on October 11, 2016. On November 6, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment of this credit facility ("Amended Credit Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks to extend its maturity to November 6, 2018. The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit and has a $150 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $450 million, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments for the lenders participating in the increase.

At our option, loans denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon the Company's ratio of total debt (excluding accounts payable and accrued liabilities) to EBITDA, measured as of the end of the most recent year or quarter, as applicable, for which financial statements have been delivered to the Lenders (the "Leverage Ratio"). This spread ranges from 1.00% to 2.25% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 1.25% for alternate base rate loans. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company as well as certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be material under the Amended Credit Agreement and a pledge of up to 65% of capital stock or other equity interest in each Guarantor (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of September 30, 2015.

There was $87.0 million and $0.0 million in outstanding borrowings on our $300 million revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

On a gross basis, we borrowed $236.1 million and repaid $149.1 million on our Revolving Credit Facility in the three months ended September 30, 2015. In the prior year period, we had no borrowing and repayments. The average daily balance during the three month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $30.7 million and $0.0 million, respectively. There were no standby letters of credits issued and outstanding on the revolving credit facility and there was $213 million available for additional borrowings as of September 30, 2015.

Imago ScanSource, a new subsidiary of the Company, has multi-currency invoice discounting credit facilities secured by the subsidiary’s accounts receivable for its operations based in the United Kingdom and France. The invoice discounting facilities allow for the issuance of funds up to 85% of the amount of each invoice processed, subject to limits by currency of £4.1 million, €4.1 million, and $0.7 million. Borrowings under the invoice discounting facilities bear interest at a base rate determined by currency, plus a spread of 1.85%. The base rate is the United Kingdom base rate published by the Bank of England for GBP-based borrowings, 30-day EUROLIBOR for Euro-based borrowings, and the Lloyds Bank daily USD published rate for the USD-based borrowings. Additionally, the Company is assessed an annual commitment fee of less than £0.1 million. There were no outstanding balances at September 30, 2015.

On April 15, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ScanSource do Brasil Participações LTDA, completed its acquisition of all of the shares of CDC, pursuant to the share purchase and sale agreement dated April 7, 2011. The purchase price was paid with an initial payment of $36.2 million, net of cash acquired, assumption of working capital payables and debt, and variable annual payments through October 2015 based on CDC's annual financial results. The Company has made four payments to the former shareholders. As of September 30, 2015, we have $4.1 million recorded for the continuing earnout obligation, all of which is classified as current. The future earnout payment will be funded by cash on hand and our existing revolving credit facility.

On September 19, 2014, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, completed its acquisition of 100% of the shares of Imago ScanSource, pursuant to the share purchase agreement. The purchase price was structured with an initial payment of $37.4 million, plus two additional annual cash installments for the twelve months ending September 30, 2015 and 2016, based on the financial performance of Imago ScanSource. The Company acquired $1.9 million of cash during the acquisition, resulting in net $35.5 million cash paid for Imago ScanSource. As of September 30, 2015, we have $5.6 million recorded for the earnout obligation, of which $2.8 million is classified as current. Future earnout payments will be funded by cash on hand and our existing revolving credit facility.

On January 13, 2015, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired 100% of the shares of Intersmart Comércio Importação Exportação de Equipamentos Eletrônicos, S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, and its related entities (collectively “Network1”), pursuant to the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Company structured the purchase transaction with an initial cash payment of approximately $29.1 million, plus four additional annual cash installments based on a form of adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") for the periods ending June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2018. The Company acquired $4.8 million of cash in connection with the acquisition, resulting in $24.3 million net cash paid for Network1. As of September 30, 2015, $19.4 million is recorded for the earnout obligation, of which $8.6 million is classified as current. Future earnout payments will be funded by cash on hand and our existing revolving credit facility.

On September 4, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of KBZ Communications, Inc. Under the asset purchase agreement, the Company acquired the assets of KBZ for a cash payment of $64.6 million. The Company acquired $3.1 million of cash during the acquisition, resulting in net $61.5 million cash paid for KBZ.

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds under our credit agreements, will provide sufficient resources to meet the present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future affect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets. 

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on August 27, 2015.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard for contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is prohibited. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017, which is the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new standard.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those that are important to our financial condition and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Different amounts would be reported under different operating conditions or under alternative assumptions. We have evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related notes and believe those policies to be reasonable and appropriate. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 for a complete listing of our significant accounting policies.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment at a reporting unit level.  Additionally, goodwill is tested for impairment on an interim basis if at any time facts and circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. 

As discussed in Item 7 of the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K under Critical Accounting Policies, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of April 30, 2015 and determined that no goodwill impairment charge was necessary.

We monitor results of these reporting units on a quarterly basis, as not meeting estimated expectations or changes to the projected future results of their operations could result in a future impairment of goodwill for these reporting entities. Based on current projected future results, we do not believe that a goodwill impairment exists.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s principal exposure to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of its business is a result of its selective use of bank debt and transacting business in foreign currencies in connection with its foreign operations.


Interest Rate Risk


34


The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities, which include revolving credit facilities with a group of banks used to maintain liquidity and fund the Company’s business operations. The nature and amount of the Company’s debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility, variable rate long-term debt and subsidiary invoice discounting facilities for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 would have resulted in less than a $0.1 million increase or decrease, respectively, in pre-tax income for the period.

The Company evaluates its interest rate risk and may use interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations associated with the Company's current and long-term debt. At September 30, 2015, the Company had $5.4 million in variable rate long term debt outstanding with no interest rate swaps in place. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company settled cross currency swaps related to fixed rate debt acquired from Network1 and repaid the related outstanding debt. The Company's use of derivative instruments have the potential to expose the Company to certain market risks including the possibility of (1) the Company’s hedging activities not being as effective as anticipated in reducing the volatility of the Company’s cash flows, (2) the counterparty not performing its obligations under the applicable hedging arrangement, (3) the hedging arrangement being imperfect or ineffective, or (4) the terms of the swap or associated debt changing. The Company seeks to lessen such risks by having established a policy to identify, control, and manage market risks which may arise from changes in interest rates, as well as limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from its foreign operations in Canada, Latin America, Brazil and Europe. These risks include transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries. In the normal course of the business, foreign exchange risk is managed by balance sheet netting of exposures, as well as the use of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge these exposures. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations may cause our international results to fluctuate significantly when translated into U.S. dollars. These risks may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on the Company’s financial results in the future.

The Company’s senior management has approved a foreign exchange hedging policy to reduce foreign currency exposure. The Company’s policy is to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed and not to enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company monitors its risk associated with the volatility of certain foreign currencies against its functional currencies and enters into foreign exchange derivative contracts to minimize short-term currency risks on cash flows. These positions are based upon balance sheet exposures and, in certain foreign currencies, our forecasted purchases and sales. The Company continually evaluates foreign exchange risk and may enter into foreign exchange transactions in accordance with its policy. Actual variances from these forecasted transactions can adversely impact foreign exchange results. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense (income).

The Company has elected not to designate its foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments, and therefore, the instruments are marked-to-market with changes in their values recorded in the consolidated income statement each period. The Company's foreign currencies are primarily British pounds, euros, Mexican pesos, Brazilian reais and Canadian dollars. At September 30, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s currency forward contracts outstanding was a net payable of $0.6 million. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and Principal Accounting Officer ("PAO") of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2015. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO, CFO and PAO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2015. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to lawsuits arising out of operations. Although there can be no assurance, based upon information known to the Company, the Company believes that any liability resulting from an adverse determination of such lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors discussed in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or future operating results.
