Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The August 31, 2023 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods shown reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement thereof and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on October 23, 2023.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.
Global economies have experienced significant volatility in recent years. Although the Company’s estimates consider current conditions, the inputs into certain of the Company’s significant and critical accounting estimates include judgments and assumptions about the economic implications of factors that have been subject to such volatility and how management expects them to change in the future, as appropriate. It is possible that actual results experienced may differ materially from the Company’s estimates in future periods, which could materially affect its results of operations and financial condition.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
In the normal course of business, the Company employs established policies and procedures to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to limit its exposure to net asset balances held in non-functional currencies, primarily at its U.K. subsidiary. The Company monitors its foreign currency exchange rate exposures to ensure the overall effectiveness of its foreign currency hedge positions. While the Company engages in foreign currency hedging activity to reduce its risk, for accounting purposes, none of its foreign currency forward contracts are designated as hedges.
9

Table of Contents
Foreign currency forward contracts are carried at fair value, with net realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in other income (expense), net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Cash flows from settlements of foreign currency forward contracts are included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position at the end of the reporting period are included in other current assets, while foreign currency forward contracts in a liability position at the end of the reporting period are included in accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. At May 31, 2024, the Company had a notional amount of $4.1 million outstanding in foreign currency forward contracts, which matured in June 2024. Unrealized net gains and losses related to foreign currency forward contracts were not significant at May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023. Realized net gains and losses related to foreign currency forward contracts were not significant for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023. Both unrealized and realized net gains and losses are recorded in other (expense) income, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Functional Currencies
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is based on the currency of the economic environment in which it operates. Management periodically assesses the functional currency of each subsidiary in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.
The functional currency of the Company’s U.K. subsidiary, the entity in which the EIMEA results are generated, is the Pound Sterling. Trends within EIMEA have indicated a shift towards the Euro over time, particularly those pertaining to sales, cost of products sold and operating expenses. Management expects these trends may become other-than-temporary in a future period, which could result in a change in functional currency from Pound Sterling to Euro in that period. While the Company is in the process of evaluating the materiality of the overall impact of such a change, it does not expect that the impact to income from operations would be material.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a hierarchy that categorizes fair value measurements into the following three levels based on the types of inputs used in measuring their fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or observable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions.
Under fair value accounting, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of May 31, 2024, the Company had no assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, except for foreign currency forward contracts, which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of cash equivalents and short-term borrowings are recorded at cost, which approximates their fair values, primarily due to their short-term nature. In addition, the carrying value of borrowings held under the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value, based on Level 2 inputs, due to the variable nature of underlying interest rates, which generally reflect market conditions. The Company’s fixed rate long-term borrowings consist of senior notes and are recorded at carrying value. The Company estimates that the fair value of its senior notes, based on Level 2 inputs, was approximately $58.9 million as of May 31, 2024, which was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current market interest rates for instruments with similar terms, compared to their carrying value of $66.8 million. During the nine months ended May 31, 2024, the Company did not record any significant nonrecurring fair value measurements for assets or liabilities in periods subsequent to their initial recognition.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” These amendments primarily require enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments are effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning September 1, 2024, and interim periods beginning September 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
10

Table of Contents
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning September 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
Note 3. Acquisitions
On March 4, 2024, WD-40 Holding Company Brasil Ltda., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company’s Brazilian distributor, Theron Marketing Ltda. (“Theron”), from M12 Participações Empresarias S.A. for total consideration of $6.9 million. Contingent consideration of $0.3 million is included in the total purchase price and recorded as a liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. With this transaction, the Company began direct distribution within Brazil in March 2024.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired assets with approximate fair values of $3.0 million of intangible assets, including customer relationships and a non-compete agreement, $3.4 million of accounts receivable, $0.6 million of inventory, and assumed liabilities with an approximate fair value of $1.6 million. The total consideration paid less the fair value of net assets acquired resulted in $1.5 million of goodwill. Transaction-related expenses were not material.
The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 4, 2024 (in thousands):

| March 4, 2024
Fair value of consideration paid |
Cash, net of cash acquired | $ | 6,201 |
Other consideration | 703 |
Total consideration paid | 6,904 |
Fair value of assets acquired |
Definite-lived intangible assets | 2,959 |
Tangible assets acquired | 4,069 |
Total assets | 7,028 |
Fair value of liabilities assumed | 1,604 |
Fair value of net assets acquired | 5,424 |
Goodwill incident to acquisition | $ | 1,481 |

The transaction was treated as a business combination. The Company recognized goodwill of $1.5 million as of March 4, 2024, which is calculated as the excess of the consideration exchanged as compared to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired. The Company’s accounting for the acquisition has not been finalized and could necessitate a one-year measurement period of determination from the acquisition date. Goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on goodwill and other intangible assets.
Pro forma results are not presented because they are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial results.

Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization | (46,600) |  |  | (43,180) |
Total | $ | 63,903 |  |  | $ | 66,791 |

As of May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets included $12.4 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of capitalized cloud-based implementation costs recorded as other assets within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. These balances primarily consist of capitalized implementation costs related to a new cloud-based enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system which the Company placed into service in the U.S. during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. The useful lives of the Company’s internal-use software and capitalized cloud computing implementation costs are generally three to five years. However, the useful lives of major information system installations such as implementations of ERP systems and certain related software are determined on an individual basis and may exceed five years depending on the estimated period of use. The Company has determined the useful life of the new ERP system to be ten years and is amortizing over such period. Accumulated amortization associated with these assets was $1.4 million and $0.7 million as of May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively. Amortization expense associated with these assets was $0.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 and was not significant for three months ended May 31, 2024 or for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023.
Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Note 9. Debt
As of May 31, 2024, the Company held borrowings under two separate agreements as detailed below.
Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement
The Company holds borrowings under its Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, as amended (the “Note Agreement”) by and among the Company, PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential”), and certain affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential (the “Note Purchasers”). As of May 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding balances on its series A, B and C notes issued under this Note Agreement.
The Note Agreement was most recently amended on April 30, 2024 (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment permitted the Company to enter into an amendment to its revolving credit agreement with Bank of America and also included certain conforming amendments to the credit agreement, including the revision of financial and restrictive covenants.
Credit Agreement
On April 30, 2024, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement modified certain terms and conditions of the Company’s previous Amended and Restated Agreement dated March 16, 2020 (as amended on September 30, 2020, and November 29, 2021), and extended the maturity date for the revolving credit facility from September 30, 2025 to April 30, 2029. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be used for the Company’s various operating, investing and financing needs.
The Company’s Credit Agreement decreased the revolving commitment for borrowing by the Company from $150.0 million to $125.0 million and decreased the sublimit from $100.0 million to $95.0 million for WD-40 Company Limited, a wholly owned operating subsidiary of the Company for Europe, India, the Middle East and Africa. In addition, the Company’s index rate under the Credit Agreement for U.S. Dollar borrowings changed from the Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield Index rate to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Short-term and long-term borrowings under the Company’s Credit Agreement and Note Agreement consisted of the following (in thousands):

| Issuance | Maturities |  | May 31, 2024 |  | August 31, 2023
Credit Agreement – revolving credit facility (1) | Various | 4/30/2029 |  | $ | 40,989 |  |  | $ | 52,943 |

Total long-term borrowings |  |  |  | $ | 85,473 |  |  | $ | 109,743 |

(1)The Company has the ability to refinance any draw under the line of credit with successive short-term borrowings through the maturity date. Outstanding draws for which management has the ability and intent to refinance with successive short-term borrowings for a period of at least twelve months are classified as long-term. As of May 31, 2024, $19.5 million of this facility was classified as long-term and was entirely denominated in Euros. $21.5 million was classified as short-term and was denominated in U.S. Dollars. As of August 31, 2023, $42.9 million on this facility was classified as long-term and was denominated in Euros and Pounds Sterling. $10.0 million was classified as short-term and was denominated entirely in U.S. Dollars. Euro and Pound Sterling denominated draws fluctuate in U.S. Dollars from period to period due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
(2)Principal payments are required semi-annually in May and November of each year in equal installments of $0.4 million through May 15, 2032, resulting in $0.8 million classified as short-term. The remaining outstanding principal in the amount of $8.4 million will become due on November 15, 2032.
(3)Interest on notes is payable semi-annually in May and November of each year with no principal due until the maturity date.

Table of Contents
Both the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement contain representations, warranties, events of default and remedies, as well as affirmative, negative and other financial covenants customary for these types of agreements. These covenants include, among other things, certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, create liens, dispose of assets, make investments, declare, make or incur obligations to make certain restricted payments, including payments for the repurchase of the Company’s capital stock and enter into certain merger or consolidation transactions. The Credit Agreement includes, among other limitations on indebtedness, a $125.0 million limit on other unsecured indebtedness.
Each agreement also includes a most favored lender provision which requires that any time any other lender has the benefit of one or more financial or operational covenants that is different than, or similar to, but more restrictive than those contained in its own agreement, those covenants shall be immediately and automatically incorporated by reference to the other lender’s agreement. Both the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement require the Company to adhere to the same financial covenants. For the financial covenants, the definition of consolidated EBITDA includes the add back of non-cash stock-based compensation to consolidated net income when arriving at consolidated EBITDA. The terms of the financial covenants are as follows:
•The consolidated leverage ratio cannot be greater than three and a half to one. The consolidated leverage ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness as of such date to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters.
•The consolidated interest coverage ratio cannot be less than three to one. The consolidated interest coverage ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters to (b) consolidated interest charges for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters.
As of May 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under both the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement.
Note 10. Share Repurchase Plan
On June 19, 2023, the Company’s Board (the “Board”) approved a share repurchase plan (the “2023 Repurchase Plan”). Under the 2023 Repurchase Plan, which became effective on September 1, 2023, the Company is authorized to acquire up to $50.0 million of its outstanding shares through August 31, 2025. The timing and amount of repurchases are based on terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, subject to present loan covenants and in compliance with all laws and regulations applicable thereto. During the nine months ended May 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 34,250 shares at an average price of $236.32 per share, for a total cost of $8.1 million under this $50.0 million plan.

Contract Balances
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue related to undelivered products. Deferred revenue is recorded when payments have been received from customers for undelivered products. Revenue is subsequently recognized when revenue recognition criteria are met, generally when control of the product transfers to the customer. The Company had contract liabilities of $2.2 million and $4.6 million as of May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively. Substantially all of the $4.6 million that was included in contract liabilities as of August 31, 2023 was recognized to revenue during the nine months ended May 31, 2024. These contract liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets are recorded if the Company has satisfied a performance obligation but does not yet have an unconditional right to consideration. The Company did not have any contract assets as of May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023. The Company has an unconditional right to payment for its trade and other accounts receivable on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. These receivables are presented net of an allowance for credit losses of $1.3 million as of May 31, 2024 and which was not significant as of August 31, 2023.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
The Company has ongoing relationships with various suppliers (contract manufacturers) that manufacture the Company’s products and third-party distribution centers that warehouse and ship the Company’s products to customers. The contract manufacturers maintain title and control of certain raw materials and components, materials utilized in finished products, and the finished products themselves until shipment to the Company’s third-party distribution centers or customers in accordance with agreed upon shipment terms. Although the Company has contractual minimum purchase obligations with certain contract manufacturers, such obligations are either immaterial or below the volume of goods that the Company has historically purchased. In the ordinary course of business, supply needs are communicated by the Company to its contract manufacturers based on orders and short-term projections, ranging from two months to six months. The Company is committed to purchase the products produced by the contract manufacturers based on the projections provided.
Upon the termination of contracts with contract manufacturers, the Company obtains certain inventory control rights and is obligated to work with the contract manufacturer to sell through all product held by or manufactured by the contract manufacturer on behalf of the Company during the termination notification period. If any inventory remains at the contract manufacturer at the termination date, the Company is obligated to purchase such inventory, which may include raw materials, components and finished goods. The amounts for inventory purchased under termination commitments have been immaterial.
In addition to the commitments to purchase products from contract manufacturers described above, the Company may also enter into commitments with other manufacturers to purchase finished goods and components to support innovation and renovation initiatives and/or supply chain initiatives. As of May 31, 2024, no such commitments were outstanding.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to, product liability litigation and other claims and proceedings with respect to intellectual property, breach of contract, labor and employment, tax and other matters. As of May 31, 2024, there were no unasserted claims or pending proceedings for claims against the Company that the Company believes will result in a probable loss. As to claims that the Company believes may result in a reasonably possible loss, the Company believes that no reasonably possible outcome of any such claim will have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Indemnifications
As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies senior officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company maintains Director and Officer insurance coverage that mitigates the Company’s exposure with respect to such obligations. As a result of the Company’s insurance coverage, management believes that the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Thus, no liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of May 31, 2024.
From time to time, the Company enters into indemnification agreements with certain contractual parties in the ordinary course of business, including agreements with lenders, lessors, contract manufacturers, marketing distributors, customers and certain vendors. All such indemnification agreements are entered into in the context of the particular agreements and are provided in an attempt to allocate risk of loss in connection with the consummation of the underlying contractual arrangements. Although the maximum amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited, management believes that the Company maintains adequate levels of insurance coverage to protect the Company with respect to most potential claims arising from such agreements and that such agreements do not otherwise have value separate and apart from the liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Thus, no liabilities have been recorded with respect to such indemnification agreements as of May 31, 2024.
Note 14. Income Taxes
The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its
18

Table of Contents
quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.
The provision for income taxes was 23.2% and 22.5% of income before income taxes for the three months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This 0.7% increase in the effective tax rate from period to period was primarily due to the following impacts:

Description of impacts on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate |  | Unfavorable/(Favorable)
Higher tax rates in certain foreign jurisdictions from period to period |  | 1.7%
An increase in benefit from the high tax exception associated with global intangible low-taxed income |  | (1.1)%

The provision for income taxes was 23.1% and 21.5% of income before income taxes for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This 1.6% increase in the effective tax rate from period to period was primarily due to the following impacts:

Description of impacts on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate |  | Unfavorable/(Favorable)
Higher tax rates in certain foreign jurisdictions from period to period |  | 1.5%
A non-recurring charitable donation made in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 |  | 1.2%
Lower shortfalls from the settlements of stock-based equity awards in fiscal year 2024 |  | (0.8)%
An increase in benefit from the high tax exception associated with global intangible low-taxed income |  | (0.7)%

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to expired statutes, the Company’s federal income tax returns for years prior to fiscal year 2018 are not subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Generally, for the majority of state and foreign jurisdictions where the Company does business, periods prior to fiscal year 2020 are no longer subject to examination. The Company is currently under audit in various state jurisdictions for fiscal years 2021 through 2022. The Company has estimated that up to $12.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to income tax positions may be affected by the resolution of tax examinations or expiring statutes of limitation within the next twelve months. This includes $12.4 million associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’s mandatory one-time “toll tax” on unremitted foreign earnings. Audit outcomes and the timing of settlements are subject to significant uncertainty.
Note 15. Business Segments and Foreign Operations
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on sales and income from operations. The Company is organized on the basis of geographical area into the following three segments: the Americas; EIMEA; and Asia-Pacific. Segment data does not include inter-segment revenues. Unallocated corporate expenses are general corporate overhead expenses not directly attributable to the business segments and are reported separate from the Company’s identified segments. Corporate overhead costs include expenses for the Company’s accounting and finance, information technology, human resources, research and development, quality control and executive management functions, as well as all direct costs associated with public company compliance matters including legal, audit and other professional services costs.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
As used in this report, the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” and “the Company” refer to WD-40 Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless the context suggests otherwise. Amounts and percentages in tables and discussions may not total due to rounding.
The following information is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I—Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 23, 2023.
Use of Non-GAAP Constant Currency
In order to show the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our results of operations, we have included constant currency disclosures, where necessary, in the Overview and Results of Operations sections which follow. Constant currency disclosures represent the translation of our current fiscal year revenues, expenses and net income from the functional currencies of our subsidiaries to U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Results on a constant currency basis are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“non-GAAP”) and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We use results on a constant currency basis as one of the measures to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods in order to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with additional financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends.

Our products are sold in various locations around the world. Maintenance products are sold worldwide in markets throughout North, Central and South America, Asia, Australia, Europe, India, the Middle East and Africa. Homecare and cleaning products are sold primarily in North America, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Australia. We sell our products primarily through hardware stores, automotive parts outlets, industrial distributors and suppliers, mass retail and home center stores, value retailers, grocery stores, online retailers, warehouse club stores, farm supply, sport retailers, and independent bike dealers.
Acquisitions
On March 4, 2024, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Brazilian distributor, Theron, from M12 Participações Empresarias S.A. See Note 3 – Acquisitions for additional information on this business combination. As a result of this acquisition, we shifted from an indirect distribution model to a direct model. Results from Brazil continue to be reported in the Americas segment for both the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Highlights
The following summarizes the financial and operational highlights for our business during the nine months ended May 31, 2024:
•Consolidated net sales increased $37.8 million, or 10%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Increases in sales volume favorably impacted net sales by approximately $23.0 million from period to period. Increases in the average selling price of our products positively impacted net sales by approximately $6.5 million from period to period, primarily due to sales price increases implemented in certain regions during the prior fiscal year. Changes to net sales attributable to volumes and average selling price of our products are impacted by differences in sales mix related to products, markets and distribution channels from period to period. In addition, changes in foreign currency exchange rates from period to period had a favorable impact of $8.3 million on consolidated net sales for the first nine months of fiscal year 2024. On a constant currency basis, net sales would have increased by $29.3 million, or 7%, from period to period. This favorable impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates mainly came from our EIMEA segment, which accounted for 37% of our consolidated sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2024.
•Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 53.1% compared to 50.9% for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
•Consolidated net income increased $3.4 million, or 7%, compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates from period to period had a favorable impact of $1.5 million on consolidated net income for the first nine months of fiscal year 2024. Thus, on a constant currency basis, net income would have increased $1.9 million, or 4%, from period to period.
•Diluted earnings per common share were $3.88 versus $3.62 in the prior fiscal year period.

Americas Sales – Three Months Ended – May 31, 2024 Compared to May 31, 2023
Net sales in the Americas segment increased from period to period, highlighted by the following:
•WD-40 Multi-Use Product sales increased $4.0 million, or 7%, primarily due to increases in Latin America of $5.4 million, or 51%, partially offset by decreases in U.S. and Canada of $1.0 million and $0.3 million, or 3% and 13%, respectively. Sales in Latin America were favorably impacted by increased sales in Brazil. Early in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, we acquired a Brazilian distributor and shifted from an indirect distribution model to a direct model, where we sell directly to retail customers. This shift favorably impacted sales in Brazil by $2.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2024. In addition, sales in other Latin American markets increased $2.8 million due to the timing of customer orders, successful promotional programs, increased distribution of WD-40 Smart Straw, and favorable impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from period to period. While end-user demand remained relatively constant in the United States from period to period, the decrease in

Table of Contents
sales was primarily attributable to timing of customer orders associated with the implementation of our new ERP system that went live in January 2024.
•WD-40 Specialist sales increased $0.8 million, or 10%, primarily due to new distribution and timing of customer orders in the United States.
•Other maintenance product sales remained relatively constant from period to period.
•Homecare and cleaning product sales decreased $0.5 million, or 14%, primarily due to reduced demand in the U.S. as a result of a lower level of advertising and promotional activities associated with these brands, as we focus on increasing sales of maintenance products in support of our four-by-four strategic framework.
•For the three months ended May 31, 2024, 72% of sales came from the U.S., and 28% of sales came from Canada and Latin America combined compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023 when 77% of sales came from the U.S., and 23% of sales came from Canada and Latin America.
Americas Sales – Nine Months Ended – May 31, 2024 Compared to May 31, 2023
Net sales in the Americas segment increased from period to period, highlighted by the following:
•WD-40 Multi-Use Product sales increased $10.0 million, or 7%, primarily due to increases in Latin America and the U.S. of $8.9 million and $2.2 million, or 32% and 2%, respectively. Sales in Latin America were favorably impacted by the transition to a direct marketing model in Brazil as discussed above in the section for the three months ended May 31, 2024. In addition, sales in other Latin American markets increased $6.2 million due to the timing of customer orders, successful promotional programs, increased distribution of WD-40 Smart Straw, and favorable impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from period to period. The slight increase in sales in the U.S. is primarily due to higher volumes as a result of successful promotions programs.
•WD-40 Specialist sales increased $1.3 million, or 6%, primarily due to new distribution and increased demand in the United States.
•Other maintenance product sales remained relatively constant from period to period.
•Homecare and cleaning product sales decreased $1.0 million, or 9%, primarily due to reduced demand in the U.S. as discussed above in the section for the three months ended May 31, 2024.
•For the nine months ended May 31, 2024, 74% of sales came from the U.S., and 26% of sales came from Canada and Latin America combined compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023 when 77% of sales came from the U.S., and 23% of sales came from Canada and Latin America.

EIMEA Sales – Three Months Ended – May 31, 2024 Compared to May 31, 2023
Net sales increased in the EIMEA segment from period to period, highlighted by the following:
•WD-40 Multi-Use Product sales increased $6.5 million, or 17%, primarily due to higher sales volume. Volumes in the comparative period were unfavorably impacted by price increases that we implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 and first quarter of fiscal year 2023, which resulted in temporarily reduced demand as customers adjusted to those price increases. The combination of recovering volumes at increased selling prices resulted in higher sales across most regions. Sales increased most significantly in France and Italy, which were up

$1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, as well as Benelux and Poland which were each up $1.1 million from the prior quarter of the previous fiscal year.
•WD-40 Specialist sales increased $0.9 million, or 11%, primarily due to the combined impact of higher sales volume due to increased distribution and stronger levels of demand after customers adjusted to price increases.
•Homecare and cleaning product sales decreased $0.5 million, or 19%, primarily due to reduced demand in the U.K. as a result of a lower level of advertising and promotional activities associated with these brands, as we focus on increasing sales of maintenance products in support of our four-by-four strategic framework.
•Net sales were favorably impacted $1.6 million across our various brands as a result of favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. On a constant currency basis, sales in EIMEA would have increased 10%.

Gross Profit
The following general information is important when assessing fluctuations in our gross margin:
•There is often a delay before changes in costs of raw materials, such as specialty chemicals used in the formulation of our products, impact cost of products sold due to production and inventory life cycles. Such delays increase with higher production and inventory levels.
•In general, the timing of advertising, promotional and other discounts may cause fluctuations in gross margin from period to period. Advertising, promotional and other discounts that are given to our customers are recorded as a reduction to sales, whereas advertising and sales promotional costs associated with promotional activities that we pay to third parties are recorded as advertising and sales promotion expenses.
•In the EIMEA segment, the majority of our cost of products sold is denominated in Pound Sterling whereas sales are generated in Pound Sterling, Euro and the U.S. Dollar. The strengthening or weakening of the Euro and U.S. Dollar against the Pound Sterling may result in foreign currency related changes to the gross margin percentage in the EIMEA segment from period to period.
•Our gross profit and gross margin may not be comparable to those of other consumer product companies, since some of these companies include all costs related to distribution of their products in cost of products sold, whereas we exclude the portion associated with amounts paid to third parties for shipment to our customers from our distribution centers and contract manufacturers and include these costs in selling, general and administrative expenses. These costs totaled $4.6 and $4.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $12.6 and $13.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

SG&A Expenses – Three Months Ended – May 31, 2024 Compared to May 31, 2023
The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to increases in employee-related costs of $3.7 million due to higher accrued incentive compensation, annual compensation increases and higher headcount. Professional services fees increased $2.2 million in support of our strategic initiatives in the Americas and EIMEA segments, including higher costs associated with the ERP system we recently implemented in the United States. In addition, professional service fees increased due to costs associated with the development of a direct market in Brazil after the purchase of our Brazilian distributor in March 2024. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a significant impact on SG&A expenses from period to period.
SG&A Expenses – Nine Months Ended – May 31, 2024 Compared to May 31, 2023
The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to increases in employee-related costs of $9.7 million due to higher accrued incentive compensation, annual compensation increases and higher headcount, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense. Professional services fees increased $3.8 million in support of our strategic initiatives in the Americas and EIMEA segments, including higher costs associated with the ERP system we recently implemented in the United States. In addition, professional services fees increased due to costs associated with the development of a direct market in Brazil. In addition, travel and meeting expense increased SG&A expense by $2.0 million primarily as a result of increased travel related to geographic expansion and other initiatives aligned with our strategic framework. Unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased SG&A expenses by $2.1 million from period to period.
We continued our research and development investment, the majority of which is associated with our maintenance products, including efforts focused on sustainability as well as our focus on innovation and renovation of our products. Research and development costs were $2.2 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $5.8 million and $4.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase from period to period was partially due to a higher level of research and development activity associated with our sustainability initiatives. Our research and development team engages in consumer research, environmental and sustainability initiatives, product development, product improvements and testing activities. This team leverages its

A&P Expenses – Three M onths Ended – May 31, 2024 Compared to May 31, 2023
The increase in A&P expenses was primarily due to a higher level of promotional programs and marketing support, particularly in EIMEA and the Americas segments. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a significant impact on A&P expenses from period to period.
As a percentage of net sales, A&P expenses may fluctuate period to period based upon the type of marketing activities we employ and the period in which the costs are incurred. Total promotional costs recorded as a reduction to sales were $7.7 million and $7.9 million, or 4.9% and 5.6% for the three months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Therefore, our total investment in A&P activities was $17.0 and $15.6 million or 11.0% of net sales for both the three months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
A&P Expenses – Nine Months Ended – May 31, 2024 Compared to May 31, 2023

Interest Income
Interest income remained relatively consistent for both the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 primarily due to lower aggregate outstanding balances on our revolving credit agreement from period to period.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
Other (expense) income, net decreased by $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, respectively, primarily due to foreign currency exchange losses which were recorded for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to net foreign currency exchange gains which were recorded in the same period of the prior fiscal year as a result of fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates for both the Euro and the U.S. Dollar against the Pound Sterling.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was 23.2% and 22.5% of income before income taxes for the three months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Descriptions of impacts on our effective income tax rate are incorporated by reference to Part I—Item 1, “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” Note 14 – Income Taxes included in this report.

Performance Measures and Non-GAAP Reconciliations
In managing our business operations and assessing our financial performance, we supplement the information provided by our financial statements with certain non-GAAP performance measures. These performance measures are part of our current 55/30/25 business model, which includes gross margin, cost of doing business, and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), the latter two of which are non-GAAP performance measures. Cost of doing business is defined as total operating expenses less amortization of definite-lived intangible assets, impairment charges related to intangible assets, amortization of implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements (“cloud computing amortization”) and depreciation in operating departments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of definite-lived intangible assets, and cloud computing amortization. Beginning in fiscal year 2024, cloud computing amortization is included in our of cost of doing business and Adjusted EBITDA calculations. We have placed a new cloud-based enterprise resource planning system into service in the U.S., which we began to amortize in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. Implementation of such systems is related to initiatives associated with our strategic framework intended to achieve greater operational efficiencies. Cloud computing amortization is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We target our gross margin to be 55% of net sales, our cost of doing business to be 30% of net sales, and our Adjusted EBITDA to be 25% of net sales. Results for these performance measures may vary from period to period depending on various factors, including economic conditions such as the inflationary environment we have experienced in the last several fiscal years, and our level of investment in activities for the future such as those related to quality assurance, regulatory compliance, information technology, sustainability, and intellectual property protection in order to safeguard our WD-40 brand. Our targets for gross margin and these other performance measures are long-term in nature and we expect to make progress towards them over time.
The following table summarizes the results of these performance measures:

| Three Months Ended May 31, |  | Nine Months Ended May 31,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Gross margin – GAAP | 53 | % |  | 51 | % |  | 53 | % |  | 51 | %
Cost of doing business as a percentage of net sales – non-GAAP | 34 | % |  | 32 | % |  | 35 | % |  | 33 | %
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales – non-GAAP (1) | 19 | % |  | 20 | % |  | 18 | % |  | 18 | %

(1)Percentages may not aggregate to Adjusted EBITDA percentage due to rounding and because amounts recorded in other income (expense), net on our consolidated statement of operations are not included as an adjustment to earnings in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation.
We use the performance measures above to establish financial goals and to gain an understanding of our comparative performance from period to period. We believe that these measures provide our stockholders with additional insights into how we run our business. We believe these measures also provide investors with additional financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, income from operations or other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP as indicators of our performance or operations. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to our financial statements as prepared in accordance with GAAP are as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Although there continues to be uncertainty related to adverse global economic conditions, volatility in financial markets, the current inflationary environment and their impacts on our future results, we believe our efficient business model positions us to manage our business through such situations. We continue to manage all aspects of our business including, but not limited to, monitoring our liquidity, the financial health of our customers, suppliers and other third-party relationships, implementing gross margin enhancement strategies and developing new opportunities for growth.
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and cash currently available from our existing unsecured revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. We use the revolving credit facility primarily for our general working capital needs. We also hold borrowings under the Note Agreement. See Note 9 – Debt for additional information on these agreements.
We have historically held a balance of outstanding draws on our line of credit in either U.S. Dollars in the Americas segment, or in Euros and Pounds Sterling in the EIMEA segment. Euro and Pound Sterling denominated draws fluctuate in U.S. Dollars from period to period due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We regularly convert many of our draws on our line of credit to new draws with new maturity dates and interest rates. We have the ability to refinance any draws under the line of credit with successive short-term borrowings through the April 30, 2029 maturity date of the Credit Agreement. Outstanding draws for which we have both the ability and intent to refinance with successive short-term borrowings for a period of at least twelve months are classified as long-term. As of May 31, 2024, $19.5 million of this facility was classified as long-term and was entirely denominated in Euros. $21.5 million was classified as short-term and was entirely denominated in U.S. Dollars. In the United States, we held $66.8 million in fixed rate long-term borrowings as

of May 31, 2024, consisting of senior notes under our Note Agreement. We paid $0.8 million in principal payments on our Series A Notes during the first nine months of fiscal year 2024. There were no other letters of credit outstanding or restrictions on the amount available on our line of credit or notes. Per the terms of both the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement, our consolidated leverage ratio cannot be greater than three and a half to one and our consolidated interest coverage ratio cannot be less than three to one. See Note 9 – Debt for additional information on these financial covenants. At May 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all material debt covenants. We continue to monitor our compliance with all debt covenants and, at the present time, we believe that the likelihood of being unable to satisfy all material covenants is remote. At May 31, 2024, we had a total of $45.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. We do not foresee any ongoing issues with repaying our borrowings and we closely monitor the use of this credit facility.
We believe that our future cash from domestic and international operations, together with our access to funds available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, will provide adequate resources to fund short-term and long-term operating requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments, acquisitions, new business development activities and share repurchases. On June 19, 2023, the Board approved the 2023 Repurchase Plan. Under the 2023 Repurchase Plan, which became effective on September 1, 2023, we are authorized to acquire up to $50.0 million of our outstanding shares through August 31, 2025, of which $41.9 million remains available for the repurchase of shares of common stock as of May 31, 2024.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows by category for the periods presented (in thousands):

| Nine Months Ended May 31,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | Change
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 64,824 |  |  | $ | 55,593 |  |  | $ | 9,231 |
Net cash used in investing activities | (9,103) |  |  | (4,213) |  |  | (4,890) |
Net cash used in financing activities | (58,145) |  |  | (54,024) |  |  | (4,121) |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (419) |  |  | 3,204 |  |  | (3,623) |
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (2,843) |  |  | $ | 560 |  |  | $ | (3,403) |

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $9.2 million to $64.8 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024. Cash flows from operating activities depend heavily on operating performance and changes in working capital. Our primary source of operating cash flows for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 was net income of $52.9 million, which increased approximately $3.4 million from period to period. Changes in adjustments to reconcile net income to cash increased net cash provided by operating activities by $4.5 million, primarily due to net unrealized foreign currency losses during the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared to net unrealized foreign currency gains in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, an increase in depreciation expense and a net deferred income tax expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to net deferred tax benefit in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
Changes in working capital decreased net cash provided by operating activities by $3.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to a decrease of $4.3 million in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The favorable net change in working capital was primarily attributable to favorable changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances during the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, offset by unfavorable changes in trade and other accounts receivable balances due to the timing of collection of payments from customers in the U.S., and changes in inventory balances. In the current and prior fiscal year, we took deliberate actions to decrease inventory levels after having increased them in fiscal year 2022 due to challenges within supply chain and increased lead times required by suppliers.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $4.9 million to $9.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024, primarily due to the $6.2 million of cash used for the acquisition of a subsidiary.

Table of Contents
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased $4.1 million to $58.1 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024. This change was primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in dividends paid to stockholders, a $1.8 million increase in shares withheld to cover taxes on conversion of equity awards, and a $0.7 million increase in treasury stock repurchases. These increases in cash outflows from period to period were partially offset by a slight decrease of $0.3 million in net repayments on our revolving credit facility.
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes
All of our foreign subsidiaries currently operate in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar and a significant portion of our consolidated cash balance is denominated in these foreign functional currencies, particularly at our U.K. subsidiary, which operates in Pound Sterling. As a result, our cash and cash equivalents balances are subject to the effects of the fluctuations in these functional currencies against the U.S. Dollar at the end of each reporting period. The net effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents, when expressed in U.S. Dollar terms, was a decrease in cash of $0.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 as compared to an increase in cash of $3.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2023. These changes were primarily due to fluctuations in various foreign currency exchange rates from period to period, but the majority is related to the fluctuations in the Pound Sterling against the U.S. Dollar.
Commercial Commitments
We have ongoing relationships with various third-party suppliers (contract manufacturers) that manufacture our products and third-party distribution centers that warehouse and ship our products to customers. The contract manufacturers maintain title and control of certain raw materials and components, materials utilized in finished products, and the finished products themselves until shipment to our third-party distribution centers or customers in accordance with agreed upon shipment terms. Although we have contractual minimum purchase obligations with certain contract manufacturers, such obligations are immaterial or well below the volume of goods that we have historically purchased. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we communicate supply needs to our contract manufacturers based on orders and short-term projections, ranging from two to six months. We are committed to purchase the products produced by the contract manufacturers based on the projections provided.
Upon the termination of contracts with contract manufacturers, we obtain certain inventory control rights and are obligated to work with the contract manufacturer to sell through all product held by or manufactured by the contract manufacturer on our behalf during the termination notification period. If any inventory remains at the contract manufacturer at the termination date, we are obligated to purchase such inventory, which may include raw materials, components and finished goods. The amounts for inventory purchased under termination commitments have been immaterial.
In addition to the commitments to purchase products from contract manufacturers described above, we may also enter into commitments with other manufacturers to purchase finished goods and components to support innovation initiatives and/or supply chain initiatives. As of May 31, 2024, no such commitments were outstanding.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2024, the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), and they have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, such controls and procedures were effective at ensuring that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act. Although management believes the Company’s existing disclosure controls and procedures are adequate to enable the Company to comply with its disclosure obligations, management continues to review and update such controls and procedures. The Company has a disclosure committee, which consists of certain members of the Company’s senior management.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended May 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
