AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A--Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and 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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended July 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2018.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).    
 
Note B--New Accounting Pronouncements -
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date." ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14 to have a material impact on results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of ASU 2014-09 primarily to determine the transition method to utilize at adoption and the additional disclosures required.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize most leases on-balance sheet, which will increase reported assets and liabilities. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 supersedes "Topic 840 - Leases." ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 mandates a modified retrospective transition method for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements, however, if at adoption the Company has similar obligations for leases as it had at July 31, 2017, the Company believes this guidance will not have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
  
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit (income) cost. The other components of net benefit (income) cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of operating income. The amendments also allow only the service cost component of net benefit (income) cost to be eligible for capitalization. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied (1) retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension (income) cost and net periodic postretirement benefit (income) cost on the income statement, and (2) prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension (income) cost and net periodic postretirement benefit (income) cost in assets. The Company believes this guidance will not have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

The Company repurchased a total of 56,700 and 72,400 shares of its common stock during the three-month periods ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, which were excluded from the calculation of net earnings per diluted share.

Note D--Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company has various stock-based compensation plans. During the three-months ended July 31, 2017, the Company approved grants of service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based RSUs to key employees.  The employee performance-based RSUs totaled 33,080 units and the employee service-based RSUs totaled 17,840 units. The performance-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  The service-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  All of the Company’s RSUs granted to employees cliff-vest three years from the grant date.
 
For the three-month periods ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows:

During the three months ended July 31, 2017, the Company also approved grants of 4,496 cash-settled performance-based restricted stock tracking units ("RSTUs") and 2,519 cash-settled service-based RSTUs for more junior level employees.  Each performance-based RSTU entitles the recipient to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  The service-based RSTUs entitle the recipients to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest.  All of the RSTUs cliff-vest three years from the grant date.  Since the RSTUs will be settled in cash, the grant date fair value of these awards is recorded as a liability until the date of payment.  The fair value of each cash-settled RSTU award is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the liability is adjusted, and related expense recorded, based on the new fair value.  The Company recognized expense of $225 thousand and $51 thousand for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. A liability for payment of the RSTUs is included in the Company's balance sheets in the amount of $0.8 million and $1.5 million as of July 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017, respectively.

Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.  Since these items are estimated, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.
 
Note G--Product Warranty
 
The Company estimates outstanding warranty costs based on the historical relationship between warranty claims and revenues.  The warranty accrual is reviewed monthly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period.  Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates.  Warranty claims are generally made within two months of the original shipment date.
 
The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s warranty liability, which is included in other accrued expenses on the balance sheet:

On August 24, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved up to $13.6 million of discretionary funding which is included in the total expected contributions for the year. As of July 31, 2017, $1.4 million of contributions had been made. The Company made contributions of $27.3 million to its pension plans in fiscal 2017.

Note J--Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company utilizes the hierarchy of fair value measurements to classify certain of its assets and liabilities based upon the following definitions:
Level 1- Investments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 investments include money market funds, mutual funds and certificates of deposit. The Company’s mutual fund investment assets represent contributions made and invested on behalf of the Company’s executive officers in a supplementary employee retirement plan.

Note K--Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt

The Company's outstanding indebtedness and other obligations to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. are unsecured. Under the terms of its revolving credit facility, the Company must (1) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.4 to 1.0; (2) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 measured on a rolling four-quarter basis; and (3) comply with other customary affirmative and negative covenants.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants specified in the credit facility as of July 31, 2017, including as follows: (1) the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth at July 31, 2017 was 0.39 to 1.0; and (2) the Company's ratio of cash flow to fixed charges for its most recent four quarters was 4.5 to 1.0.

Note L--Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended July 31, 2017 was 29.0%, compared with 32.2%, in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a benefit from stock-based compensation transactions. During the first quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized an excess tax benefit of $2.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, accounting guidance relating to stock-based compensation.

Note M--Other Information
 
The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including without limitation product liability and general liability claims, and claims pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such claims may result in a loss.  As required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, “Contingencies” (ASC 450), the Company categorizes the various suits and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible, and those that are deemed to be remote.  Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible, a range of loss estimates is determined and considered for disclosure.  In determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of similar claims and consults with outside counsel.
 
The Company believes that the aggregate range of loss stemming from the various suits and asserted and unasserted claims that were deemed to be either probable or reasonably possible was not material as of July 31, 2017.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, both of which are included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.  The Company’s critical accounting policies are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017.

 Forward-Looking Statements
 
This report contains statements concerning the Company’s expectations, plans, objectives, future financial performance, and other statements that are not historical facts.  These statements may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  In most cases, the reader can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “expect,” “believe,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “may,” “intend,” “estimate,” “prospect,” “goal,” “will,” “predict,” “potential” or other similar words.  Forward-looking statements contained in this report, including elsewhere in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are based on current expectations and our actual results may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.  In addition, the Company participates in an industry that is subject to rapidly changing conditions and there are numerous factors that could cause the Company to experience a decline in sales and/or earnings or deterioration in financial condition.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements made in this report include but are not limited to:
 
general economic or business conditions and instability in the financial and credit markets, including their potential impact on the Company's (i) sales and operating costs and access to financing, and (ii) customers and suppliers and their ability to obtain financing or generate the cash necessary to conduct their respective businesses;
the volatility in mortgage rates and unemployment rates;
slower growth in personal income and residential investment;
the cyclical nature of the Company’s industry, which is particularly sensitive to changes in consumer confidence, the amount of consumers’ income available for discretionary purchases, and the availability and terms of consumer credit;
economic weakness in a specific channel of distribution;
the loss of sales from specific customers due to their loss of market share, bankruptcy or switching to a competitor;
risks associated with domestic manufacturing operations and suppliers, including fluctuations in capacity utilization and the prices and availability of key raw materials as well as fuel, transportation, warehousing and labor costs, environmental compliance, possible import tariffs and remediation costs;
the need to respond to price or product initiatives launched by a competitor;
the ability to retain and motivate Company employees;
the Company’s ability to successfully implement initiatives related to increasing market share, new products, maintaining and increasing its sales force and new product displays; and
sales growth at a rate that outpaces the Company’s ability to install new manufacturing capacity or a sales decline that requires reduction or realignment of the Company’s manufacturing capacity. 
 
Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements is contained in this report, including elsewhere in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and also in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017, filed with the SEC, including under Item 1A, "Risk Factors," Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."  While the Company believes that these risks are manageable and will not adversely impact the long-term performance of the Company, these risks could, under certain circumstances, have a material adverse impact on its operating results and financial condition.

Any forward-looking statement that the Company makes speaks only as of the date of this report.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or cautionary factors, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Overview
 
American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction markets.  Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers, major builders and home manufacturers, and through a network of independent dealers and distributors.  At July 31, 2017, the Company operated nine manufacturing facilities and seven service centers across the country.
 
The three-month period ended July 31, 2017 was the Company’s first quarter of its fiscal year that ends on April 30, 2018 (“fiscal 2018”).  During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company continued to experience improving market conditions from the housing market downturn that began in 2007.
 
The Company’s remodeling-based business was impacted by the following trends during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2018:    
 
The median price per existing home sold rose during the second calendar quarter of 2017 compared to the same period one year ago by 6.5% according to data provided by the National Association of Realtors, and existing home sales increased 1.6% during the second calendar quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year; 
The unemployment rate improved to 4.3% as of July 2017 compared to 4.9% as of July 2016 according to data provided by the U.S. Department of Labor;
Mortgage interest rates remained low with a thirty-year fixed mortgage rate of approximately 3.97% in July 2017, an increase of approximately 53 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year, according to Freddie Mac; and
Consumer sentiment as tracked by Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan improved from 90.0 in July 2016 to 93.4 in July 2017.
 
The Company believes there is no single indicator that directly correlates with cabinet remodeling market activity. For this reason, the Company considers other factors in addition to those discussed above as indicators of overall market activity including credit availability, housing affordability and sales reported by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (“KCMA”), a trade organization that issues the aggregate sales that have been reported by its members including the largest cabinet manufacturers in the United States.  Based on the totality of factors listed above, the Company believes that the cabinet remodeling market increased in the low single digits during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. 
 
The Company’s largest remodeling customers and competitors continued to utilize sales promotions in the Company’s product category to boost sales and some competitors accelerated their promotional activity.  These promotions consisted of free products and/or cash discounts to consumers based upon the amount or type of cabinets they purchased.  The Company strives to maintain its promotional levels in line with market activity, with a goal of remaining competitive.  The Company experienced promotional levels during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 that were higher than those experienced in the same period of the prior year. 
 
The Company’s remodeling sales increased 1% during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the same prior-year period. Our Waypoint brand, which serves the dealer channel, represented approximately 11% of our overall sales and grew by 20% during the first quarter when compared to the comparable prior-year period. Management believes that the Company has improved market share within the dealer channel while it has lost share within big box retailers.  
 
Regarding new construction markets, the Company believes that fluctuations in single-family housing starts are the best indicator of cabinet activity.  Assuming a sixty to ninety day lag between housing starts and the installation of cabinetry, single-family housing starts rose approximately 9% during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2018 over the comparable prior year period. 
 
Sales in the new construction channel increased 12% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 when compared with the same period of fiscal 2017. The Company believes it continued to over index the market both due to share penetration with our builder partners as well as the health of the markets where we concentrate our business.

The Company’s total net sales rose 7% during the first quarter fiscal 2018 compared to the same prior-year period, which management believes was driven primarily by a rise in overall market activity.

13



  
As of July 31, 2017, the Company had total net deferred tax assets of $16.5 million, down from $18.0 million at April 30, 2017.  The reduction in total net deferred tax assets from April 30, 2017 to July 31, 2017 is primarily due to stock based compensation transactions over that time period. The Company regularly considers the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, after considering all positive and negative evidence, it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  The Company has recorded a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets for certain state investment tax credit (“ITC”) carryforwards. These credits expire in various years beginning in fiscal 2020.  The Company believes based on positive evidence of the housing industry improvement along with four consecutive years of profitability that the Company will more likely than not realize all other remaining deferred tax assets.
 
The Company earned net income of $22.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared with $21.7 million in the first quarter of its prior fiscal year.

Net Sales. Net sales were $276.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018, an increase of 7% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Overall unit volume for the three-month period ended July 31, 2017 improved by 6%, while average revenue per unit increased 1% during the three-month period driven by improvements in the Company’s sales mix.
 
Gross Profit.  Gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was 21.1%, compared with 23.0% for the same period of fiscal 2017.  Gross profit in the current quarter was unfavorably impacted by higher transportation costs, raw material inflation and higher healthcare costs. The prior year quarter benefited from unusually low healthcare costs.
  
Selling and Marketing Expenses.  Selling and marketing expenses were 6.6% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared with 6.4% of net sales for the same period in fiscal 2017.  Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales slightly increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as a result of timing of new product launch costs and higher customer display costs.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses were 3.4% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared with 4.2% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was driven by favorable leverage from increased sales, lower incentive compensation costs and ongoing expense controls.
 
Effective Income Tax Rates.  The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended July 31, 2017 was 29.0% compared with 32.2% in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a benefit from stock-based compensation transactions. During the first quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized an excess tax benefit of $2.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, accounting guidance relating to stock-based compensation.
 
Outlook.  The Company believes that the average price of existing home sales will continue to increase driven by growth in both employment and new household formations. In this environment, the Company expects the cabinet remodeling market will show modest improvement during the remainder of fiscal 2018 but overall activity will continue to be below historical averages. Within the cabinet remodeling market, the Company expects independent dealers to outperform other channels of

14



distribution primarily due to their more affluent customer base. The Company expects its market share in the home center channel will return to normalized levels for the remainder of fiscal 2018, however this is heavily dependent upon competitive promotional activity. The Company also expects to continue to increase market share in the dealer channel. This combination is expected to result in remodeling sales growth that exceeds the market rate.

The Company expects that single-family housing starts and in turn, new construction cabinet sales, will grow approximately 8-10% during the remainder of its fiscal year 2018, and that the Company’s new construction sales growth will continue to exceed this level for the remainder of its current fiscal year, but at a lower rate than fiscal 2017, as comparable prior year sales levels become more challenging to exceed.
 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $175.6 million at July 31, 2017, representing a $1.4 million decrease from its April 30, 2017 levels.  At July 31, 2017, total long-term debt (including current maturities) was $17.9 million, an increase of $1.0 million from its balance at April 30, 2017.  The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital was 4.2% at both July 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017.
 
The Company’s main source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from its operating activities. The Company can borrow up to $35 million under its revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), which expires on December 31, 2018.  This facility had an available borrowing base of $35 million at July 31, 2017.  

The Company's outstanding indebtedness and other obligations to Wells Fargo are unsecured. Under the terms of its revolving credit facility, the Company must: (1) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 1.4 to 1.0; (2) maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 measured on a rolling four-quarter basis; and (3) comply with other customary affirmative and negative covenants.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants specified in the credit facility as of July 31, 2017, including as follows: (1) the Company’s ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth at July 31, 2017 was 0.39 to 1.0; and (2) cash flow to fixed charges for its most recent four quarters was 4.5 to 1.0.

The revolving credit facility does not limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends or repurchase its common shares as long as the Company is in compliance with these covenants. 
 
Cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2018 was $26.6 million, compared with $32.9 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2017.  The decrease in the Company’s cash from operating activities was driven primarily by higher inventories to support increased sales and lower increases in accounts payable.
 
The Company’s investing activities primarily consist of purchases and maturities of certificates of deposit, investment in property, plant and equipment and promotional displays.  Net cash used for investing activities was $21.2 million in the first three months of fiscal 2018, compared with $40.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2017. The decrease in cash used was due to a $25.3 million reduced investment in certificates of deposit which was partially offset by increased investment in property, plant and equipment.

During the first three months of fiscal 2018, net cash used by financing activities was $6.8 million, compared with $4.3 million in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The increase in cash used was driven by the Company’s repurchase of 56,700 shares of common stock at a cost of $5.6 million, a $0.5 million increase from the prior year, a decrease in proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.8 million and an increase in withholding of employee taxes related to stock-based compensation of $1.1 million.

Under a stock repurchase authorization approved by its Board of Directors on November 19, 2015, the Company was authorized to purchase up to $20 million of the Company's common shares. On November 30, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $50 million of the Company's common shares. This authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 19, 2015. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms the Company deems appropriate and subject to the Company's cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under the Company’s revolving credit facility, and other factors management deems relevant. At July 31, 2017, $59.4 million remained authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors to repurchase the Company’s common shares. The Company purchased a total of 56,700 common shares, for an aggregate purchase price of

15



$5.6 million, during the first three months of fiscal 2018, under the authorizations. See Part II. Item 2, "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds" for further information on share repurchases.

On August 24, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved up to $13.6 million of discretionary funding to reduce its defined benefit pension liabilities.

On November 30, 2016 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the construction of a new corporate headquarters in Winchester, Virginia. The new space will consolidate employees that currently occupy four buildings in Winchester, Virginia and Frederick County, Virginia, in early calendar 2018. It is expected that the new building will be self-funded for approximately $30 million, of which $6.6 million has been spent through July 31, 2017. During the first three months of fiscal 2018, approximately $3.6 million in costs were incurred related to the new company headquarters.

Cash flow from operations combined with accumulated cash and cash equivalents on hand are expected to be more than sufficient to support forecasted working capital requirements, service existing debt obligations and fund capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2018.
  
Seasonal and Inflationary Factors
 
The Company’s business has historically been subject to seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized in the second and fourth fiscal quarters.
 
The costs of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations.  The Company has generally been able over time to recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price increases.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Since the end of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017, the Company has had no material exposure to changes in interest rates for its debt agreements.
 
The Company does not currently use commodity or interest rate derivatives or similar financial instruments to manage its commodity price or interest rate risks.  See “Seasonal and Inflationary Factors” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations above for additional information regarding the effects inflation and commodity price fluctuations have on the costs of the Company’s products. 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2017.  Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  In addition, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended July 31, 2017 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 is involved in various suits and claims in the normal course of business all of which constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business.  The Company is not party to any material litigation that does not constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to its business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Risk factors that may affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition are described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017 and there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed.  Additional risks are discussed elsewhere in this report, including in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Outlook.”

(1) Under a stock repurchase authorization approved by its Board of Directors on November 19, 2015, the Company was authorized to purchase up to $20 million of the Company's common shares. On November 30, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $50 million of the Company's common shares. This authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 19, 2015. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms the Company deems appropriate and subject to the Company's cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under the Company’s revolving credit facility, and other factors management deems relevant. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific number of shares during any period, and the authorization may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board. Management expects to fund any share repurchases using available cash and cash generated from operations. Repurchased shares will become authorized but unissued common shares. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company repurchased 56,700 common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $5.6 million, under the authorization, pursuant to a repurchase plan intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. At July 31, 2017, $59.4 million remained authorized by the Company's Board of Directors to repurchase the Company's common shares.

Bylaw amendment
