NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
i1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all the disclosures required for consolidated annual financial statements by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The Company’s results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire 2022 fiscal year. References to the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 represent the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior period deferred revenue amounts have been reclassified to noncurrent to conform with the current year presentation.
i2. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of dilutive common share options and vesting of performance-accelerated restricted shares (restricted shares) by using the treasury stock method. The number of shares used in the calculation of earnings per share for each period presented is as follows (in thousands):

/Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial measure “EBIT” is presented in the above table and elsewhere in this Report. EBIT on a consolidated basis is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that EBIT is useful in assessing the operational profitability of the Company’s business segments because it excludes interest and taxes, which are generally accounted for across the entire Company on a consolidated basis. EBIT is also one of the measures used by management in determining resource allocations within the Company as well as incentive compensation. A reconciliation of EBIT to net earnings is set forth in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – EBIT.
The Company believes that the presentation of EBIT provides important supplemental information to investors to facilitate comparisons with other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. However, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other companies’ non-GAAP financial performance measures. Furthermore, the use of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to replace any measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP.

| ( i 20,000) |
Total long-term debt, less current portion | | $ | i 181,000 |
| i 134,000 |
The Credit Facility includes a $ i 500 million revolving line of credit as well as provisions allowing for the increase of the credit facility commitment amount by an additional $ i 250 million, if necessary, with the consent of the lenders. The bank syndication supporting the facility is comprised of a diverse group of eight banks led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Credit Facility matures September 27, 2024.
At June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $ i 291.0 million available to borrow under the Credit Facility, plus the $ i 250 million increase option, subject to lender approval, in addition to $ i 61.0 million cash on hand. The Company classified $ i 20 million as the current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2022, as the Company intends to repay this amount within the next twelve months; however, the Company has no contractual obligation to repay such amount during the next twelve months. The letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility totaled $ i 7.8 million at June 30, 2022.
Interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility is calculated at a spread over either the New York Federal Reserve Bank Rate, the prime rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), depending on various factors. The Credit Facility also requires a facility fee ranging from 10 to 25 basis points per annum on the unused portion. The Credit Facility is secured by the unlimited guaranty of the Company’s direct and indirect material U.S. subsidiaries and the pledge of i 100% of the equity interests of its direct and indirect material foreign subsidiaries. The financial covenants of the Credit Facility include a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. The weighted average interest rates were i 2.20% and i 1.57% for the three and nine-month periods ending June 30, 2022, respectively, and i 1.16% and i 1.33% for the three and nine-month periods ending June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

i9. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The third quarter 2022 effective income tax rate was i 21.5% compared to i 21.3% in the third quarter of 2021. The effective income tax rate in the first nine months of 2022 was i 22.3% compared to i 22.5% for the first nine months of 2021. The income tax expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was favorably impacted by tax return to provision true-ups on U.S. tax on the distribution of foreign earnings and the re-rating of deferred taxes as a result of a Vermont law change, decreasing the third quarter and year-to-date effective tax rate by i 1.6% and i 0.7%, respectively. The income tax expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 was favorably impacted by a tax return to provision true-up for foreign derived intangible income and other 2020 true-ups decreasing the third quarter and year-to-date effective tax rate by i 3.9% and i 1.2% respectively.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting guidance establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements, based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date, as follows:
| ● | Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| ● | Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| ● | Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventories, payables, and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s forward contracts and interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 825, and are immaterial.
Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s nonfinancial assets such as property, plant and equipment, and other intangible assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis; however they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that an impairment may exist. i i i i No / / / impairments were recorded during the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Revenue Recognition
Payment terms with our customers vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. Arrangements with customers that include payment terms extending beyond one year are not significant. The transaction price for these contracts reflects our estimate of returns and discounts, which are based on historical, current and forecasted information to determine the expected amount to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer. The realization of variable consideration occurs within a short period of time from product delivery; therefore, the time value of money effect is not significant. We primarily provide standard warranty programs for products in our commercial businesses for periods that typically range from one to two years. These assurance-type programs typically cannot be purchased separately and do not meet the criteria to be considered a performance obligation. Under the typical payment terms of our long term fixed price contracts, the customer pays us either performance-based or progress payments. Performance-based payments represent interim payments based on quantifiable measures of performance or on the achievement of specified events or milestones. Progress payments are interim payments of costs incurred as the work progresses.
15
For our overtime revenue recognized using the output method of costs incurred, contract cost is estimated utilizing current contract specifications and expected engineering requirements. Contract costs typically are incurred over a period of several months to one or more years, and the estimation of these costs requires judgment. Our cost estimation process is based on the professional knowledge and experience of engineers and program managers along with finance professionals. We review and update our projections of costs quarterly or more frequently when circumstances significantly change. In addition, in the USG segment, we recognize revenue as a series of distinct services based on each day of providing services (straight-line over the contract term) for certain of our USG segment contracts. Under the typical payment terms of our service contracts, the customer pays us in advance of when services are performed. In addition, in the Test segment, we use milestones to measure progress for our Test segment contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as we incur costs on our contracts.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations, which is the equivalent of backlog, represent the expected transaction price allocated to contracts that the Company expects to recognize as revenue in future periods when the Company performs under the contracts. These remaining obligations include amounts that have been formally appropriated under contracts with the U.S. Government, and exclude unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts such as Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts. At June 30, 2022, the Company had $ i 706.8 million in remaining performance obligations of which the Company expects to recognize revenues of approximately i 80% in the next i twelve months.
Contract assets and liabilities
Assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Because of the timing difference of revenue recognition and customer billing, these contracts will often result in revenue recognized in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs incurred. At June 30, 2022, contract assets and liabilities totaled $ i 115.8 million and $ i 122.2 million, respectively. During the first nine months of 2022, the Company recognized approximately $ i 74 million in revenues that were included in the contract liabilities balance at September 30, 2021. The increase in net contract assets in the first nine months of 2022 was due to revenue being recognized for performance completed during the period that exceeded customer billings. The increase in net contract liabilities in the first nine months of 2022 was due to higher payments received in advance of revenue recognition criteria being met under the Company’s contracts with customers. At October 1, 2020, contract assets and liabilities totaled $ i 94.3 million and $ i 100.6 million, respectively.
i13. LEASES
The Company determines at lease inception whether an arrangement that provides control over the use of an asset is a lease. The Company recognizes at lease commencement a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The Company has elected not to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability for leases with terms of i 12 months or less. Certain of the Company’s leases include options to extend the term of the lease for up to i 20 years. When it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option, Management includes the impact of the option in the lease term for purposes of determining total future lease payments. As most of the Company’s lease agreements do not explicitly state the discount rate implicit in the lease, Management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate on the commencement date to calculate the present value of future payments based on the tenor of each arrangement.
The Company’s leases for real estate commonly include escalating payments. These variable lease payments are included in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. In addition to the present value of the future lease payments, the calculation of the ROU asset also includes any deferred rent, lease pre-payments and initial direct costs of obtaining the lease.
In addition to the base rent, real estate leases typically contain provisions for common-area maintenance and other similar services, which are considered non-lease components for accounting purposes. Non-lease components are excluded from our ROU assets and lease liabilities and expensed as incurred.
The Company’s leases are for office space, manufacturing facilities, and machinery and equipment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COVID-19 TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The COVID-19 global pandemic has continued to create unprecedented challenges, including constraints on the Company’s supply chain. The economic uncertainty, changes in the propensity for the general public to travel by air, and reductions in demand for commercial aircraft as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely impacted net sales and operating results in certain of our A&D reporting units since the pandemic began. Additionally, the electric utility market has been impacted by reduced domestic electricity consumption related to the pandemic, which in turn impacts utility spending on investments in grid maintenance and testing.
Throughout 2021 and the first nine months of 2022, our Navy, defense aerospace, space and Test segment end-markets have remained solid and we are seeing recovery in our core markets most affected by the pandemic. We are encouraged by the growing strength of our entered orders across the commercial aerospace, electric utility and renewable energy end-markets.
We are also monitoring the impacts of COVID-19 on the fair value of assets. We do not currently anticipate any material asset impairments as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic. We determined that there was no impairment for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2022. We will continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on the fair value of assets. For further discussion, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References to the third quarters of 2022 and 2021 represent the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
OVERVIEW
In the third quarter of 2022, sales, net earnings and diluted earnings per share were $219.1 million, $23.2 million and $0.89 per share, respectively, compared to $181.4 million, $14.9 million and $0.57 per share, respectively, in the third quarter of 2021. In the first nine months of 2022, sales, net earnings and diluted earnings per share were $601.0 million, $51.3 million and $1.97 per share, respectively, compared to $510.0 million, $43.1 million and $1.65 per share, respectively, in the first nine months of 2021.
NET SALES
In the third quarter of 2022, net sales of $219.1 million were $37.7 million, or 20.8%, higher than the $181.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. In the first nine months of 2022, net sales of $601.0 million were $91.0 million, or 17.8%, higher than the $510.0 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase in net sales in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021 was due to a $19.5 million increase in the USG segment, an $11.2 million increase in the Test segment, and a $7.0 million increase in the Aerospace & Defense segment. The increase in net sales in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the first nine months of 2021 was due to a $53.1 million increase in the USG segment, a $25.0 million increase in the Test segment, and a $13.0 million increase in the Aerospace & Defense segment.
-Aerospace & Defense (A&D)
In the third quarter of 2022, net sales of $92.6 million were $7.0 million, or 8.2%, higher than the $85.6 million in the third quarter of 2021. In the first nine months of 2022, net sales of $247.7 million were $12.9 million, or 5.5%, higher than the $234.7 million in the first nine months of 2021. The sales increase in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 was mainly due to a $3.9 million increase in net sales at Mayday primarily driven by an increase in commercial aerospace sales, a $3.1 million increase in net sales at VACCO driven by higher navy defense products, a $0.8 million increase in net sales at PTI, a $0.4 million increase in net sales at Globe, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in net sales at Westland. The sales increase in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 was mainly due to a $8.5 million increase in net sales at Mayday, a $6.2 million increase in net sales at PTI, both primarily due to an increase in commercial aerospace sales driven by the rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic, a $2.1 million increase in net sales at Westland, and a $0.6 million increase in net sales at Globe, partially offset by a $4.5 million decrease in net sales at VACCO driven by timing of navy defense projects.
19
-USG
In the third quarter of 2022, net sales of $67.2 million were $19.5 million, or 40.9%, higher than the $47.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. In the first nine months of 2022, net sales of $194.9 million were $53.1 million, or 37.4%, higher than the $141.8 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the corresponding periods of 2021 was mainly due to higher product and service revenue at Doble primarily driven by the acquisitions of Altanova and Phenix, and an increase in product sales at NRG. The revenue contribution from the Altanova and Phenix acquisitions totaled $11.5 million and $36.5 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively.
-Test
In the third quarter of 2022, net sales of $59.3 million were $11.2 million, or 23.3%, higher than the $48.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. In the first nine months of 2022, net sales of $158.4 million were $25.0 million, or 18.7%, higher than the $133.4 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to higher sales from the Company’s U.S. and Asian operations totaling $11.8 million partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in sales from the segment’s European operations due to the timing of test and measurement chamber projects. The increase in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021 was due to higher sales from the Company’s Asian and U.S. operations totaling $29.1 million partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in sales from the segment’s European operations due to the timing of test and measurement chamber projects.
ORDERS AND BACKLOG
Backlog was $706.8 million at June 30, 2022 compared with $592.0 million at September 30, 2021. The Company received new orders totaling $254.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $203.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. Of the new orders received in the third quarter of 2022, $110.2 million related to Aerospace & Defense products, $74.4 million related to USG products, and $70.3 million related to Test products. Of the new orders received in the third quarter of 2021, $95.1 million related to Aerospace & Defense products, $55.5 million related to USG products, and $53.2 million related to Test products.
The Company received new orders totaling $715.8 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to $537.7 million in the first nine months of 2021. Of the new orders received in the first nine months of 2022, $295.0 million related to Aerospace & Defense products, $227.1 million related to USG products, and $193.7 million related to Test products. Of the new orders received in the first nine months of 2021, $248.8 million related to Aerospace & Defense products, $147.8 million related to USG products, and $141.1 million related to Test products.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $47.5 million (21.7% of net sales), compared with $42.9 million (23.6% of net sales) for the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, SG&A expenses were $142.1 million (23.6% of net sales) compared to $122.6 million (24.0% of net sales) for the first nine months of 2021. The increase in SG&A in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the corresponding periods of 2021 was mainly due to higher expenses at Doble as a result of the SG&A contribution from the Altanova and Phenix acquisitions.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Amortization of intangible assets was $6.4 million and $19.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to $4.9 million and $14.7 million for the corresponding periods of 2021. Amortization expenses consist of amortization of acquired intangible assets from acquisitions and other identifiable intangible assets (primarily software). The increase in amortization expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the corresponding periods of 2021 was mainly due to the Company’s recent acquisitions of Phenix, Altanova and NEco.
OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSES, NET
Other income, net, was $0.1 million of income in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $0.6 million of expenses in the third quarter of 2021. There were no individually significant items in other income, net, in the third quarter of 2022. The principal component of other (income) expenses, net, in the third quarter of 2021 was $0.5 million of facility consolidation charges for the Doble Morgan Schaffer facility.
20
Other income, net, was $0.7 million of income in the first nine months of 2022 compared to $1.3 million of income in the first nine months of 2021. There were no individually significant items in other income, net, in the first nine months of 2022. The principal component of other income, net, in the first nine months of 2021 was a gain of approximately $2 million for the final settlement on the sale of the Doble Watertown, MA building, partially offset by facility consolidation charges for the Doble Manta facility and Morgan Schaffer facilities.
EBIT
The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on EBIT, and provides EBIT on a consolidated basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, above. EBIT was $30.8 million (14.1% of net sales) for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $19.4 million (10.7% of net sales) for the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, EBIT was $69.1 million (11.5% of net sales) compared to $57.1 million (11.2% of net sales) for the first nine months of 2021.
The following table presents a reconciliation of EBIT to net earnings.

– Aerospace & Defense
EBIT in the third quarter of 2022 was $20.7 million (22.4% of net sales) compared to $16.7 million (19.5% of net sales) in the third quarter of 2021. EBIT in the first nine months of 2022 was $45.0 million (18.2% of net sales) compared to $42.0 million (17.9% of net sales) in the first nine months of 2021. The increase in EBIT in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the corresponding period of 2021 was mainly due to improved operating performance at Westland and higher sales volumes at Mayday, VACCO and Globe. The increase in EBIT for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the corresponding period of 2021 was mainly due to favorable product mix and higher sales volumes at Mayday, Westland and Globe partially offset by a decrease in EBIT at VACCO and Crissair due to product mix and lower sales volumes. EBIT in the first nine months of 2022 was negatively impacted by a $0.3 million inventory step-up charge related to the NEco acquisition. EBIT in the first nine months of 2021 was negatively impacted by a $0.3 million inventory step-up charge related to the ATM acquisition.
-USG
EBIT in the third quarter of 2022 was $13.1 million (19.5% of net sales) compared to $8.2 million (17.2% of net sales) in the third quarter of 2021. EBIT in the first nine months of 2022 was $37.8 million (19.4% of net sales) compared to $27.7 million (19.5% of net sales) in the first nine months of 2021. The increase in EBIT in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the corresponding periods of 2021 was mainly due to the higher sales volumes at Doble and NRG as mentioned above. EBIT in the first nine months of 2022 was negatively impacted by approximately $0.5 million of inventory step-up charges related to the Altanova acquisition.
-Test
EBIT in the third quarter of 2022 was $8.4 million (14.1% of net sales) compared to $6.8 million (14.0% of net sales) in the third quarter of 2021. EBIT in the first nine months of 2022 was $20.8 million (13.1% of net sales) compared to $17.8 million (13.3% of net sales) in the first nine months of 2021. The increase in EBIT in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the corresponding periods of 2021 was primarily due to product mix and higher margins on projects mainly from the segment’s Asian and U.S. operations.
– Corporate
Corporate costs included in EBIT were $11.4 million and $34.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to $12.3 million and $30.4 million in the corresponding periods of 2021. The decrease in Corporate costs in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year quarter was due to executive transition related compensation and acquisition costs in 2021. The
21
increase in Corporate costs in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the corresponding period of 2021 was mainly due to the increase in amortization expense of acquired intangible assets related to the Company’s recent acquisitions of Phenix, Altanova and NEco.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET
Interest expense was $1.3 million and $3.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.5 million in the corresponding periods of 2021. The increase in interest expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 compared to the corresponding periods of 2021 was mainly due to higher average outstanding borrowings. Average outstanding borrowings were $205 million and $195 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, and $39 million and $44 million in the corresponding periods of 2021.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The third quarter 2022 effective income tax rate was 21.5% compared to 21.3% in the third quarter of 2021. The effective income tax rate in the first nine months of 2022 was 22.3% compared to 22.5% for the first nine months of 2021. The income tax expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was favorably impacted by tax return to provision true-ups on U.S. tax on the distribution of foreign earnings and the re-rating of deferred taxes as a result of a Vermont law change, decreasing the third quarter and year-to-date effective tax rate by 1.6% and 0.7%, respectively. The income tax expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 was favorably impacted by a tax return to provision true-up for foreign derived intangible income and other 2020 true-ups decreasing the third quarter and year-to-date effective tax rate by 3.9% and 1.2% respectively.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's overall financial position and liquidity remains strong. Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) increased to $261.4 million at June 30, 2022 from $191.2 million at September 30, 2021. Inventories increased by $31.0 million during this period due to a $14.0 million increase within the USG segment, an $11.9 million increase within the Test segment and a $5.1 million increase within the Aerospace & Defense segment resulting primarily from the timing of receipt of raw materials to meet anticipated demand and an increase in work in process inventories due to timing of manufacturing existing orders. Accounts receivable increased by $22.4 million during this period due to a $14.9 million increase within the Aerospace & Defense segment, a $4.2 million increase within the Test segment and a $3.3 million increase within the USG segment, due to timing of sales and collections.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $41.7 million and $75.4 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the first nine months of 2021 was mainly driven by higher working capital requirements.
Capital expenditures were $25.9 million and $17.9 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year period was mainly due to the purchase of the NRG building of approximately $10 million in the first quarter of 2022. In addition, the Company incurred expenditures for capitalized software of $9.4 million and $6.5 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Acquisition
On November 4, 2021, the Company acquired Networks Electronic Company, LLC (NEco) for a purchase price of approximately $15.4 million, net of cash acquired. NEco, based in Chatsworth, California, provides miniature electro-explosive devices utilized in mission-critical defense and aerospace applications. Since the date of acquisition, the operating results for the NEco business have been included as part of PTI in the A&D segment.
Credit Facility
At June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $291.0 million available to borrow under its bank credit facility, a $250 million increase option subject to lender approval, and $61.0 million cash on hand. At June 30, 2022, the Company had $201.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility in addition to outstanding letters of credit of $7.8 million. Cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Company’s credit facility are expected to meet the Company’s capital requirements and operational needs
22
for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to access the additional $250 million increase option of the credit facility is subject to acceptance by participating or other outside banks.
Share Repurchases
During the first nine months of 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 257,000 shares for approximately $20.0 million. For further information on the share repurchases during the third quarter of 2022, see Part II, Item 2 of this Report.
Dividends
A dividend of $0.08 per share, totaling $2.1 million, was paid on October 15, 2021 to stockholders of record as of October 1, 2021. A dividend of $0.08 per share, totaling $2.1 million, was paid on January 19, 2022 to stockholders of record as of January 4, 2022. A dividend of $0.08 per share, totaling $2.1 million, was paid on April 19, 2022 to stockholders of record as of April 4, 2022. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share, totaling $2.1 million, was paid on July 19, 2022 to stockholders of record as of July 5, 2022.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management has evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and related notes and believes those policies to be reasonable and appropriate. Certain of these accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by Management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on historical experience, trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The most significant areas involving Management judgments and estimates may be found in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.
OTHER MATTERS
Contingencies
As a normal incident of the business in which the Company is engaged, various claims, charges and litigation are asserted or commenced against the Company. Additionally, the Company is currently involved in various stages of investigation and remediation relating to environmental matters. In the opinion of Management, the aggregate costs involved in the resolution of these matters, and final judgments, if any, which might be rendered against the Company, are adequately reserved, are covered by insurance, or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results from operations, capital expenditures, or competitive position.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this Form 10-Q regarding future events and the Company’s future results that reflect or are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, projections or assumptions about the Company’s performance and the industries in which the Company operates are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Federal securities laws. These include, but are not necessarily limited to, statements about: the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic including any impairment of the Company’s assets, impacts to commercial aerospace, military and utility markets which the Company serves, the strength of certain end markets served by the Company’s Test and USG segments, and the timing of the recovery of certain end markets which the Company serves, the adequacy of the Company’s credit facility and the Company’s ability to increase it; the outcome of current litigation, claims and charges; timing of the repayment of the current portion of the Company’s long-term debt; future revenues from remaining performance obligations; fair values of reporting units; the deductibility of goodwill; estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; the recognition of compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements; the Company’s ability to hedge against or otherwise manage market risks through the use of derivative financial instruments; the extent to which hedging gains or losses will be offset by losses or gains on related underlying exposures; and any other statements contained herein which are not strictly historical. Words such as expects, anticipates, targets, goals, projects, intends, plans, believes, estimates, variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

Investors are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and the Company undertakes no duty to update them except as may be required by applicable laws or regulations. The Company’s actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties that exist in the Company’s operations and business environment, including but not limited to those described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, and the following: the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including the impacts of known or unknown COVID-19 variants, labor shortages, facility closures, shelter in place policies or quarantines, material shortages, transportation delays, termination or delays of Company contracts and the inability of our suppliers or customers to perform, the impacts of natural disasters on the Company’s operations and those of the Company’s customers and suppliers; the timing and content of future contract awards or customer orders; the appropriation, allocation and availability of Government funds; the termination for convenience of Government and other customer contracts or orders; weakening of economic conditions in served markets; the success of the Company’s competitors; changes in customer demands or customer insolvencies; competition; intellectual property rights; technical difficulties; the availability of selected acquisitions; delivery delays or defaults by customers; performance issues with key customers, suppliers and subcontractors; material changes in the costs and availability of certain raw materials; inflationary pressures on the Company’s costs of materials, components and supplies; labor disputes; changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations; other changes in laws and regulations including but not limited to changes in accounting standards and foreign taxation; changes in interest rates; costs relating to environmental matters arising from current or former facilities; uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of current disputes, claims, litigation or arbitration; and the integration of recently acquired businesses.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risks relating to the Company’s operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and selectively uses derivative financial instruments, including forward contracts and swaps, to manage these risks. The Company’s Canadian subsidiary Morgan Schaffer enters into foreign exchange contracts to manage foreign currency risk as a portion of their revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars. All derivative instruments are reported on the balance sheet at fair value. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the respective derivative is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income until recognized in earnings with the underlying hedged item. There has been no material change to the Company’s market risks since September 30, 2021. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 for further discussion about market risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
