While the Company may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company and management specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if management's estimates change.

PART I

Item 1. Business

Standex International Corporation was incorporated in 1975 and is the successor of a corporation organized in 1955. As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Standex” mean Standex International Corporation and its subsidiaries. We have paid dividends each quarter since Standex became a public corporation in November 1964. Overall management, strategic development and financial control are led by the executive staff at our corporate headquarters in Salem, New Hampshire.

Unless otherwise noted, references to years are to fiscal years. Currently our fiscal year end is June 30. For further clarity, our fiscal year 2021 includes the twelve-month period from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.

We are a diversified industrial manufacturer with leading positions in a variety of products and services that are used in diverse commercial and industrial markets. We have seven operating segments aggregated into five reportable segments: Electronics, Engraving, Scientific, Engineering Technologies, and Specialty Solutions. Three operating segments are aggregated into Specialty Solutions. Our segments differentiate themselves by collaborating with our customers in order to develop and deliver custom solutions or engineered components that solve problems for our customers or otherwise meet their needs (a business model we refer to as “Customer Intimacy”).

Our long-term strategy is to enhance shareholder value by building larger, more profitable focused industrial platforms through our Standex Value Creation System that assists management in meeting specific corporate and business unit financial and strategic performance goals in order to create, improve, and enhance shareholder value. In so doing, we expect to focus our financial assets and managerial resources on our higher growth and operating margin businesses while considering divestiture of those businesses that we feel are not strategic or do not meet our growth and return expectations.

The Standex Value Creation System is a methodology which provides standard work and consistent tools used throughout the Company in order to achieve our organization’s goals. The Standex Value Creation System employs four components: Balanced Performance Plan, Growth Disciplines, Operational Excellence, and Talent Management. The Balanced Performance Plan process aligns annual goals throughout the Company and provides a standard reporting, management and review process. It is focused on setting, tracking and reviewing annual and quarterly targets that support our short and long-term goals. The Growth Disciplines use a standard playbook of tools and processes including market maps, market tests and growth laneways to identify, explore and execute on opportunities that expand the business organically and through acquisitions. Operational Excellence also employs a standard playbook of tools and processes, based on LEAN, to improve operating execution (effectiveness), eliminate waste (efficiency) and thereby improve profitability, cash flow and customer satisfaction. Finally, Talent Management is an organizational development process that provides recruitment, training, development, and succession planning for employees throughout our worldwide organization. Through the use of our Standex Value Creation System, we have developed a balanced approach to value creation. We intend to continue investing acquisition capital in high margin and growth businesses, and we will continue to support all of our businesses as they enhance value through deployment of the Standex Valuation Creation System.

It is our objective to grow larger and more profitable business units through both organic initiatives and acquisitions. We seek to identify and implement organic growth initiatives such as new product development, geographic expansion, and the introduction of products and technologies into new markets, key accounts and strategic sales channel partners. Also, we have a long-term objective to create sizable business platforms by adding strategically aligned or “bolt on” acquisitions to strengthen the individual businesses, create both sales and cost synergies with our core business platforms, and accelerate their growth and margin improvement. We have a particular focus on identifying and investing in opportunities that complement our products and will increase the global presence and capabilities of our businesses. From time to time, we have divested, and likely will continue to divest, businesses that we feel are not strategic or do not meet our growth and return expectations.

Our objective to grow larger and more profitable business platforms also relies upon Operational Excellence, which drives continuous improvement and thereby margin expansion of our businesses. We recognize that our businesses are competing in a global economy that requires us to improve our competitive position, and we continue to deploy these capabilities to drive improvements in the cost structure of our businesses. These efforts include but are not limited to the application of LEAN, the use of low cost manufacturing facilities in countries such as Mexico, China, and India, the consolidation of manufacturing facilities to achieve economies of scale and leveraging of fixed infrastructure costs, the use of alternate sourcing to achieve procurement cost reductions, and the investment of capital to increase productivity in both the shop floor and back-office.

The Company’s strong historical cash flow has been a cornerstone for funding our capital allocation strategy. We use cash flow generated from operations to fund investments in capital assets to upgrade our facilities, improve productivity and lower costs, invest in the strategic growth programs described above, including organic growth and acquisitions, and to return cash to our shareholders through payment of dividends and stock buybacks.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in the Company involves various risks, including those mentioned below and those that are discussed from time to time in our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors should carefully consider these risks, along with the other information filed in this report, before making an investment decision regarding the Company. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and/or value of an investment in the Company.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has, and could continue to adversely affect our revenues, operating results, cash flow and financial condition.

Our business and operations, and the operations of our suppliers, business partners and customers, have been, and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the ongoing Coronavirus (or COVID-19) pandemic which is impacting worldwide economic activity including in many countries or localities in which we operate, sell, or purchase good and services. There can be no assurance that COVID-19 will not impact our business generally as a result of the virus’ potential impact on delays in supply chain, production and/or purchases from our customers and timely payment from any customers who may be experiencing liquidity issues due to the pandemic. Due to the spread of COVID-19, we have modified our business practices, including employee travel restrictions, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in non-critical meetings, events and conferences pursuant to applicable government guidelines. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by COVID-19, which could adversely impact our ability to perform critical functions, such as the research and development of new products, the manufacture of our products, and the distribution and sale of our products. Moreover, while each of our operations has prepared business continuity plans to address COVID-19 concerns, in an effort to ensure that we are protecting our employees, continuing to operate our business and service our customers’ needs, there is no guarantee that such plans will anticipate or fully mitigate the various impacts the pandemic may have, much of which is still uncertain. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the scope and severity of the impact that COVID-19 will have on our operations, the continued spread of COVID-19, the measures taken by the governments of countries affected, actions taken to protect employees, actions taken to shut down or temporarily discontinue operations in certain locations, and the impact of the pandemic on various business activities in affected countries and the economy generally, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The ultimate extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on the severity, location and duration of the spread of COVID-19, the actions undertaken by local and world governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, and the success of ongoing efforts distribute vaccines.

9

A deterioration in the domestic and international economic environment, whether by way of recessionary or inflationary conditions, could adversely affect our operating results, cash flow and financial condition.

Recessionary economic conditions, with or without a tightening of credit, could adversely impact major markets served by our businesses, including cyclical markets such as automotive, aviation, energy and power, heavy construction vehicle, general industrial, consumer appliances and food service. An economic recession could adversely affect our business by:

| • | reducing demand for our products and services, particularly in markets where demand for our products and services is cyclical;

| • | causing delays or cancellations of orders for our products or services;

| • | reducing capital spending by our customers;

| • | increasing price competition in our markets;

| • | increasing difficulty in collecting accounts receivable;

| • | increasing the risk of excess or obsolete inventories;

| • | increasing the risk of impairment to long-lived assets due to reduced use of manufacturing facilities;

| • | increasing the risk of supply interruptions that would be disruptive to our manufacturing processes; and

| • | reducing the availability of credit and spending power for our customers.

Inflationary economic conditions could adversely impact our cost of labor and the cost of materials and services we procure. We may be unable to increase our own prices sufficiently to offset such cost increases, and, to the extent that we are able to do so, we may not be able to maintain existing operating margins and profitability. Additionally, competitors operating in regions with less inflationary pressure may be able to compete more effectively which could further impact our ability to increase prices and/or result in lost sales.

We rely on our credit facility to provide us with sufficient capital to operate our businesses and to fund acquisitions.

We rely on our revolving credit facility, in part along with operating cash flow, to provide us with sufficient capital to operate our businesses and to fund acquisitions. The availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility is dependent upon our compliance with the covenants set forth in the facility, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. Our ability to comply with these covenants is dependent upon our future performance, which is subject to economic conditions in our markets along with factors that are beyond our control. Violation of those covenants could result in our lenders restricting or terminating our borrowing ability under our credit facility, cause us to be liable for covenant waiver fees or other obligations, or trigger an event of default under the terms of our credit facility, which could result in acceleration of the debt under the facility and require prepayment of the debt before its due date. Even if new financing is available, in the event of a default under our current credit facility, the interest rate charged on any new borrowing could be substantially higher than under the current credit facility, thus adversely affecting our overall financial condition. If our lenders reduce or terminate our access to amounts under our credit facility, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our working capital needs and/or acquisitions or we may need to secure additional capital or financing to fund our working capital requirements or to repay outstanding debt under our credit facility or to fund acquisitions.

Our credit facility contains covenants that restrict our activities.

Our revolving credit facility contains covenants that restrict our activities, including our ability to:

| • | incur additional indebtedness;

| • | make investments, including acquisitions;

| • | create liens;

| • | pay cash dividends to shareholders unless we are compliant with the financial covenants set forth in the credit facility; and

| • | sell material assets.

10

Our global operations subject us to international business risks.

We operate in 41 locations outside of the United States in Europe, Canada, China, Japan, India, Singapore, Korea, Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, Malaysia, and South Africa. If we are unable to successfully manage the risks inherent to the operation and expansion of our global businesses, those risks could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition. These international business risks include:

| • | fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

| • | changes in government regulations;

| • | restrictions on repatriation of earnings;

| • | import and export controls;

| • | political, social and economic instability;

| • | potential adverse tax consequences;

| • | difficulties in staffing and managing multi-national operations;

| • | unexpected changes in zoning or other land-use requirements;

| • | difficulties in our ability to enforce legal rights and remedies; and

| • | changes in regulatory requirements.

Failure to achieve expected savings and synergies could adversely impact our operating profits and cash flows.

We focus on improving profitability through LEAN enterprise, low-cost sourcing and manufacturing initiatives, improving working capital management, developing new and enhanced products, consolidating factories where appropriate, automating manufacturing processes, diversification efforts and completing acquisitions which deliver synergies to stimulate sales and growth. If we are unable to successfully execute these programs, such failure could adversely affect our operating profits and cash flows. In addition, actions we may take to consolidate manufacturing operations to achieve cost savings or adjust to market developments may result in restructuring charges that adversely affect our profits.

Violation of anti-bribery or similar laws by our employees, business partners or agents could result in fines, penalties, damage to our reputation or other adverse consequences.

We cannot assure that our internal controls, code of conduct and training of our employees will provide complete protection from reckless or criminal acts of our employees, business partners or agents that might violate United States or international laws relating to anti-bribery or similar topics. A violation of these laws could subject us to civil or criminal investigations that could result in substantial civil or criminal fines and penalties, and which could damage our reputation.

We face significant competition in our markets and, if we are not able to respond to competition in our markets, our net sales, profits and cash flows could decline.

Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. To compete effectively, we must retain long standing relationships with significant customers, offer attractive pricing, maintain product quality, meet customer delivery requirements, develop enhancements to products that offer performance features that are superior to our competitors and which maintain our brand recognition, continue to automate our manufacturing capabilities, continue to grow our business by establishing relationships with new customers, diversify into emerging markets and penetrate new markets. In addition, many of our businesses experience sales churn as customers seek lower cost suppliers. We attempt to offset this churn through our continual pursuit of new business opportunities. However, if we are unable to compete effectively or succeed in our pursuit of new business opportunities, our net sales, profitability and cash flows could decline. Pricing pressures resulting from competition may adversely affect our net sales and profitability.

If we are unable to successfully introduce new products and product enhancements, our future growth could be impaired.

Our ability to develop new products and innovations to satisfy customer needs or demands in the markets we serve can affect our competitive position and often requires significant investment of resources. Difficulties or delays in research, development or production of new products and services or failure to gain market acceptance of new products and technologies may significantly reduce future net sales and adversely affect our competitive position.

11

Increased prices or significant shortages of the commodities that we use in our businesses could result in lower net sales, profits and cash flows

We purchase large quantities of steel, aluminum, refrigeration components, freight services, and other metal commodities for the manufacture of our products. We also purchase significant quantities of relatively rare elements used in the manufacture of certain of our electronics products. Historically, prices for commodities and rare elements have fluctuated, and we are unable to enter into long-term contracts or other arrangements to hedge the risk of price increases in many of these commodities. Significant price increases for these commodities and rare elements could adversely affect our operating profits if we cannot timely mitigate the price increases by successfully sourcing lower cost commodities or rare elements or by passing the increased costs on to customers. Shortages or other disruptions in the supply of these commodities or rare elements could delay sales or increase costs.

Current and threatened tariffs on components and finished goods from China and other countries could result in lower net sales, profits and cash flows and could impair the value of our investments in our Chinese operations.

As part of our low-cost country sourcing strategy, we (i) maintain manufacturing facilities in China and (ii) import certain components and finished goods from our own facilities and third-party suppliers in China. Many of the components and finished goods we import from China are subject to tariffs enacted by the United States government. While we attempt to pass on these additional costs to our customers, competitive factors (including competitors who import from other countries not subject to such tariffs) may limit our ability to sustain price increases and, as a result, may adversely impact our net sales, profits and cash flows. The maintenance of such tariffs over the long-term also could impair the value of our investments in our Chinese operations. In addition, the imposition of tariffs may influence the sourcing habits of certain end users of our products and services which, in turn, could have a direct impact on the requirements of our direct customers for our products and services. Such an impact could adversely affect our net sales, profits and cash flows.

An inability to identify or complete future acquisitions could adversely affect our future growth.

As part of our growth strategy, we intend to pursue acquisitions that provide opportunities for profitable growth for our businesses and enable us to leverage our competitive strengths. While we continue to evaluate potential acquisitions, we may not be able to identify and successfully negotiate suitable acquisitions, obtain financing for future acquisitions on satisfactory terms, obtain regulatory approval for certain acquisitions or otherwise complete acquisitions in the future. An inability to identify or complete future acquisitions could limit our future growth.

We may experience difficulties in integrating acquisitions.

Integration of acquired companies involves several risks, including:

| • | inability to operate acquired businesses profitably;

| • | failure to accomplish strategic objectives for those acquisitions;

| • | unanticipated costs relating to acquisitions or to the integration of the acquired businesses;

| • | difficulties in achieving planned cost savings synergies and growth opportunities; and

| • | possible future impairment charges for goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets that are recorded as a function of acquisitions.

Additionally, our level of indebtedness may increase in the future if we finance acquisitions with debt, which would cause us to incur additional interest expense and could increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and limit our ability to service our debt or obtain additional financing. We cannot assure that future acquisitions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Impairment charges could reduce our profitability.

We test goodwill and our other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if a potential impairment factor arises that indicates the fair value of the reporting unit may fall below its carrying value. Various uncertainties, including continued adverse conditions in the capital markets or changes in general economic conditions, could impact the future operating performance at one or more of our businesses which could significantly affect our valuations and could result in additional future impairments. The recognition of an impairment of a significant portion of goodwill would negatively affect our results of operations.

12

Materially adverse or unforeseen legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could have an adverse impact on our profits and cash flows.

We are and may, from time to time, become a party to legal proceedings incidental to our businesses, including, but not limited to, alleged claims relating to product liability, environmental compliance, patent infringement, commercial disputes and employment and regulatory matters. In accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, we establish reserves based on our assessment of contingent liabilities. Subsequent developments in legal proceedings may affect our assessment and estimates of loss contingencies, recorded as reserves, which could require us to record additional reserves or make material payments which could adversely affect our profits and cash flows. Even the successful defense of legal proceedings may cause us to incur substantial legal costs and may divert management's time and resources away from our businesses.

The costs of complying with existing or future environmental regulations, and of correcting any violations of these regulations, could impact our profitability.

We are subject to a variety of environmental laws relating to the storage, discharge, handling, emission, generation, use and disposal of chemicals, hazardous waste and other toxic and hazardous materials used to manufacture, or resulting from the process of manufacturing, our products and providing our services. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of regulatory requirements to which our operations might be subject or the manner in which existing or future laws will be administered or interpreted. We are also exposed to potential legacy environmental risks relating to businesses we no longer own or operate. Future regulations could be applied to materials, products or activities that have not been subject to regulation previously. The costs of complying with new or more stringent regulations, or with more vigorous enforcement of these or existing regulations, could be significant.

In addition, properly permitted waste disposal facilities used by us as a legal and legitimate repository for hazardous waste may in the future become mismanaged or abandoned without our knowledge or involvement. In such event, legacy landfill liability could attach to or be imposed upon us in proportion to the waste deposited at any disposal facility.

Environmental laws require us to maintain and comply with a number of permits, authorizations and approvals and to maintain and update training programs and safety data regarding materials used in our processes. Violations of these requirements could result in financial penalties and other enforcement actions. We could be required to halt one or more portions of our operations until a violation is cured. Although we attempt to operate in compliance with these environmental laws, we may not succeed in this effort at all times. The costs of curing violations or resolving enforcement actions that might be initiated by government authorities could be substantial.

The costs of complying with existing or future regulations applicable to our products, and of correcting any violations of such regulations, could impact our profitability.

Certain of our products are subject to regulations promulgated by administrative agencies such as the Department of Energy, Occupational Health and Safety Administration and the Food and Drug Administration. Such regulations, among other matters, specify requirements regarding energy efficiency and product safety. Regulatory violations could result in financial penalties and other enforcement actions. We could be required to halt production of one or more products until a violation is cured. Although we attempt to produce our products in compliance with these requirements, the costs of curing violations or resolving enforcement actions that might be initiated by administrative agencies could be substantial.

Our results could be adversely affected by natural disasters, political crises, labor unrest or other catastrophic events.

Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and other adverse weather and climate conditions; political crises, such as terrorist attacks, war, labor unrest, and other political instability; or other catastrophic events, such as disasters occurring at our suppliers' manufacturing facilities, whether occurring in the United States or internationally, could disrupt our operations or the operations of one or more of our suppliers. Certain of our key manufacturing facilities are located in geographic areas with a higher than nominal risk of earthquake and flood (such as Japan) and others are in areas of higher than nominal political risk (such as China). The labor workforces in four of our U.S. facilities belong to unions and a strike, slowdown or other concerted effort could adversely impact production at the affected facility. To the extent any of these events occur, our operations and financial results could be adversely affected.

13

We depend on our key personnel and the development of high potential employees; the loss of their services may adversely affect our business.

We believe that our success depends on our ability to hire new talent, develop existing talent and the continued employment of our senior management team and other key personnel. If one or more members of our senior management team or other key personnel were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, our business could be seriously harmed. In addition, if any of our key personnel joins a competitor or forms a competing company, some of our customers might choose to use the services of that competitor or those of a new company instead of our own. Other companies seeking to develop capabilities and products or services similar to ours may hire away some of our key personnel. If we are unable to maintain and develop our key personnel and attract new employees, the execution of our business strategy may be hindered and our growth limited.

Strategic divestitures and contingent liabilities from businesses that we sell could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

From time to time, we have sold and may continue to sell business that we consider to be either underperforming or no longer part of our strategic vision. The sale of any such business could result in a financial loss and/or write-down of goodwill which could have a material adverse effect on our results for the financial reporting period during which such sale occurs. In addition, in connection with such divestitures, we have retained, and may in the future retain responsibility for some of the known and unknown contingent liabilities related to certain divestitures such as lawsuits, tax liabilities, product liability claims, and environmental matters.

The trading price of our common stock has been volatile, and investors in our common stock may experience substantial losses.

The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and may become volatile again in the future. The trading price of our common stock could decline or fluctuate in response to a variety of factors, including:

| • | our failure to meet the performance estimates of securities analysts;

| • | changes in financial estimates of our net sales and operating results or buy/sell recommendations by securities analysts;

| • | fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;

| • | substantial sales of our common stock;

| • | changes in the amount or frequency of our payment of dividends or repurchases of our common stock;

| • | general stock market conditions; or

| • | other economic or external factors.

Decreases in discount rates and actual rates of return could require an increase in future pension contributions to our pension plans which could limit our flexibility in managing our Company.

The discount rate and the expected rate of return on plan assets represent key assumptions inherent in our actuarially calculated pension plan obligations and pension plan expense. If discount rates and actual rates of return on invested plan assets were to decrease significantly, our pension plan obligations could increase materially. Although our pension plans have been frozen, the size of future required pension contributions could require us to dedicate a greater portion of our cash flow from operations to making contributions, which could negatively impact our financial flexibility.

Our business could be negatively impacted by cybersecurity threats, information systems and network interruptions, and other security threats or disruptions.

Our information technology networks and related systems are critical to the operation of our business and essential to our ability to successfully perform day-to-day operations. Cybersecurity threats are persistent, evolve quickly, and include, but are not limited to, computer viruses, ransomware, attempts to access information, denial of service and other electronic security breaches. These events could disrupt our operations or customers and other third-party IT systems in which we are involved and could negatively impact our reputation among our customers and the public which could have a negative impact on our financial conditions, results of operations, or liquidity.

14

We are subject to increasing regulation associated with data privacy and processing, the violation of which could result in significant penalties and harm our reputation.

Regulatory scrutiny of privacy, data protection, collection, use and sharing of data is increasing on a global basis. Like all global companies, we are subject to a number of laws, rules and directives (“privacy laws”) relating to the collection, use, retention, security, processing and transfer (“processing”) of personally identifiable information about our employees, customers and suppliers (“personal data”) in the countries where we operate. The most notable of these privacy laws is the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which came into effect in 2018. GDPR extends the scope of the EU data protection law to all foreign companies processing data of EU residents and imposes a strict data protection compliance regime with severe penalties for non-compliance of up to the greater of 4% of worldwide turnover and €20 million. While we continue to strengthen our data privacy and protection policies and to train our personnel accordingly, a determination that there have been violations of GDPR or other privacy or data protection laws could expose us to significant damage awards, fines and other penalties that could, individually or in the aggregate, materially harm our results of operations and reputation.

Various restrictions in our charter documents, Delaware law and our credit agreement could prevent or delay a change in control that is not supported by our board of directors.

We are subject to several provisions in our charter documents, Delaware law and our credit facility that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or change of control that a stockholder may consider favorable. These anti-takeover provisions include:

| • | maintaining a classified board and imposing advance notice procedures for nominations of candidates for election as directors and for stockholder proposals to be considered at stockholders' meetings;

| • | a provision in our certificate of incorporation that requires the approval of the holders of 80% of the outstanding shares of our common stock to adopt any agreement of merger, the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company to a third party or the issuance or transfer by the Company of voting securities having a fair market value of $1 million or more to a third party, if in any such case such third party is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, unless the transaction has been approved prior to its consummation by all of our directors;

| • | requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of our common stock for stockholders to amend our amended and restated by-laws;

| • | covenants in our credit facility restricting mergers, asset sales and similar transactions; and

| • | the Delaware anti-takeover statute contained in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a merger, consolidation, asset sale or other similar business combination between the Company and any stockholder of 15% or more of our voting stock for a period of three years after the stockholder acquires 15% or more of our voting stock, unless (1) the transaction is approved by our board of directors before the stockholder acquires 15% or more of our voting stock, (2) upon completing the transaction the stockholder owns at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the commencement of the transaction, or (3) the transaction is approved by our board of directors and the holders of 66 2/3% of our voting stock, excluding shares of our voting stock owned by the stockholder.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a diversified industrial manufacturer with leading positions in a variety of products and services that are used in diverse commercial and industrial markets. We have seven operating segments that aggregate to five reportable segments. Please refer to Item 1. Business, above, for additional information regarding our segment structure and management strategy.

It is our objective to grow larger and more profitable business units through both organic initiatives and acquisitions. We seek to identify and implement organic growth initiatives such as new product development, geographic expansion, and the introduction of products and technologies into new markets, key accounts and strategic sales channel partners. Also, we have a long-term objective to create sizable business platforms by adding strategically aligned or “bolt on” acquisitions to strengthen the individual businesses, create both sales and cost synergies with our core business platforms, and accelerate their growth and margin improvement. We look to create both sales and cost synergies within our core business platforms, accelerate growth and improve margins. We have a particular focus on identifying and investing in opportunities that complement our products and will increase the global presence and capabilities of our businesses. From time to time, we have divested, and likely will continue to divest, businesses that we feel are not strategic or do not meet our growth and return expectations.

As part of our ongoing strategy:

| o | In the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, we divested Enginetics Corporation (“Enginetics”) our jet engine components business reported within our Engineering Technologies segment, to Enjet Aero, LLC, a privately held aerospace engine component manufacturing company. This divestiture allows us to focus on the higher growth and margin opportunities of our core spin forming solutions business that serves the space, commercial aviation and defense end markets. We received $11.7 million cash consideration and recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of $14.6 million in the Consolidated Financial Statements including a goodwill impairment charge of $7.6 million, assigned to the entirety of the Engineering Technologies segment, and a $5.4 million write-down of intangible assets.

| o | During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, we acquired Renco Electronics, a designer and manufacturer of customized standard magnetics components and products including transformers, inductors, chokes and coils for power and RF applications. Renco’s end markets and customer base in areas such as consumer and industrial applications are highly complementary to our existing business with the potential to further expand key account relationships and capitalize on cross selling opportunities between the two companies. Renco operates one manufacturing facility in Florida and is supported by contract manufacturers in Asia. Renco’s results are reported within our Electronics segment beginning in fiscal year 2021.

| o | During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, we initiated a program and signed an agreement to divest our Master-Bilt and NorLake businesses (together our Refrigerated Solutions Group or RSG). This divestiture allowed us to continue the simplification of our portfolio and enabled us to focus more clearly on those of our businesses that sell differentiated products and which have higher growth and margin profiles. The divestiture was finalized and consideration was exchanged in the fourth quarter of 2020. Results of RSG in current and prior periods have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The divestiture impacts the consolidated company results as follows:

|  | Year Ended June 30, 2020 |  |  | Year Ended June 30, 2019 |
|  | Continuing |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Continuing |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

| o | During the first quarter of 2019, we decided to divest our Cooking Solutions Group, which consisted of three operating segments, Associated American Industries, BKI, and Ultrafryer, along with a minority interest investment. We completed this divestiture during the third quarter of 2019 and received proceeds for the sale on the first day of the fourth quarter of 2019. In connection with the divestiture efforts, we also sold our minority interest in a European oven manufacturer back to the majority owners. Results of the Cooking Solutions Group in current and prior periods have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

| o | In the fourth quarter of 2019, we acquired Ohio-based Genius Solutions Engineering Company (d/b/a GS Engineering), a provider of specialized “soft surface” skin texturized tooling, primarily serving the automotive end market. GS Engineering brought us critical proprietary technologies that offer significant advantages in creating tools for “soft surface” components which are used increasingly in vehicle interiors. The tooling for soft surface products offered by GS is highly complementary to our industry-leading capabilities in texturing molds and tools used to create “hard surface” components. This technology also complements and enabled us to improve our existing nickel shell technology that produces soft surface tooling. GS operates one facility in Ohio and its results are reported within our Engraving segment.

| o | In September 2018, fiscal year 2019, we acquired New Hampshire-based Regional Mfg. Specialists, Inc. (now a part of Standex Electronics Magnetics, Inc and operated under the name Agile Magnetics), a provider of high-reliability magnetics. The addition of Agile Magnetics is an important step forward in building out the high reliability magnetics business of Standex Electronics. As a result of this combination, we have broadened our exposure to several attractive end-markets and added a valuable manufacturing and sales base in the northeast. Additionally, we can now offer complementary products from Standex’s broader portfolio to Agile’s customer base. Agile Magnetics products include transformers, inductors and coils for mission critical applications for blue chip OEMs in the semiconductor, military, aerospace, healthcare, and industrial markets. Agile operates one manufacturing facility in New Hampshire and its results are reported within our Electronics segment.

| o | In August 2018, fiscal year 2019, we acquired Michigan-based Tenibac-Graphion, Inc., a provider of chemical and laser texturing services. The combination of Tenibac and Standex Engraving expanded services available to customers, increased responsiveness to customer demands, and drove innovative approaches to solving customer needs. The combined customer base now has access to the full line of mold and tool services, such as the Architecture design consultancy, chemical and laser engraving, tool finishing, and tool enhancements. Tenibac serves automotive, packaging, medical and consumer products customers, and operates three facilities, two in Michigan and one in China. The Tenibac results are reported within our Engraving segment.

As a result of these portfolio moves, we have transformed Standex to a company with a more focused group of businesses selling customized solutions to high value end markets via a compelling customer value proposition. The narrowing of the portfolio allows for greater management focus on driving operational disciplines and positions us well to benefit from an economic rebound associated with the end of the COVID-19 crisis and to use our cash flow from operations to invest selectively in our ongoing pipeline of organic and inorganic opportunities.

We develop “Customer Intimacy” by utilizing the Standex Growth Disciplines to partner with our customers in order to develop and deliver custom solutions. By partnering with our customers during long-term product development cycles, we become an extension of their development teams. Through this Partner, Solve, Deliver® approach, we are able to secure our position as a preferred long-term solution provider for our products and components. This strategy results in increased sales and operating margins that enhance shareholder returns.

Standex Operational Excellence drives continuous improvement in the efficiency of our businesses, both on the shop floor and in the office environment. We recognize that our businesses are competing in a global economy that requires us to improve our competitive position. We have deployed a number of management competencies to drive improvements in the cost structure of our business units including operational excellence through lean enterprise, the use of low cost manufacturing facilities, the consolidation of manufacturing facilities to achieve economies of scale and leveraging of fixed infrastructure costs, alternate sourcing to achieve procurement cost reductions, and capital improvements to increase productivity.

The Company’s strong historical cash flow has been a cornerstone for funding our capital allocation strategy. We use cash flow generated from operations to fund investments in capital assets to upgrade our facilities, improve productivity and lower costs, invest in the strategic growth programs described above, including organic growth and acquisitions, and to return cash to our shareholders through payment of dividends and stock buybacks.

20

Restructuring expenses reflect costs associated with the Company’s efforts of continuously improving operational efficiency and expanding globally in order to remain competitive in our end-user markets. We incur costs for actions to size our businesses to a level appropriate for current economic conditions, improve our cost structure, enhance our competitive position and increase operating margins. Such expenses include costs for moving facilities to locations that allow for lower fixed and variable costs, external consultants who provide additional expertise starting up plants after relocation, downsizing operations because of changing economic conditions, and other costs resulting from asset redeployment decisions. Shutdown costs include severance, benefits, stay bonuses, lease and contract terminations, asset write-downs, costs of moving fixed assets, and moving and relocation costs. Vacant facility costs include maintenance, utilities, property taxes and other costs.

Because of the diversity of the Company’s businesses, end user markets and geographic locations, management does not use specific external indices to predict the future performance of the Company, other than general information about broad macroeconomic trends. Each of our individual business units serves niche markets and attempts to identify trends other than general business and economic conditions which are specific to its business and which could impact their performance. Those units report pertinent information to senior management, which uses it to the extent relevant to assess the future performance of the Company. A description of any such material trends is described below in the applicable segment analysis.

We monitor a number of key performance indicators (“KPIs”) including net sales, income from operations, backlog, effective income tax rate, gross profit margin, and operating cash flow. A discussion of these KPIs is included below. We may also supplement the discussion of these KPIs by identifying the impact of foreign exchange rates, acquisitions, and other significant items when they have a material impact on a specific KPI.

We believe the discussion of these items provides enhanced information to investors by disclosing their impact on the overall trend which provides a clearer comparative view of the KPI, as applicable. For discussion of the impact of foreign exchange rates on KPIs, the Company calculates the impact as the difference between the current period KPI calculated at the current period exchange rate as compared to the KPI calculated at the historical exchange rate for the prior period. For discussion of the impact of acquisitions, we isolate the effect on the KPI amount that would have existed regardless of our acquisition. Sales resulting from synergies between the acquisition and existing operations of the Company are considered organic growth for the purposes of our discussion.

Given the global nature of our business and the number of our facilities worldwide, we continue to be impacted globally by COVID-19 related issues. We have taken effective action around the world to protect our health and safety, continue to serve our customers, support our communities and manage our cash flows. Our priority was and remains the health and safety of all of our employees. Each of our facilities is following safe practices as defined in their local jurisdictions as well as sharing experiences and innovative ways of overcoming challenges brought on by the crisis during updates with global site leaders. We are rigorously following health protocols in our plants, including changing work cell configurations and revising shift schedules when appropriate, in order to do our best to maintain operations. During the end of fiscal year 2020 and the beginning of fiscal year 2021, we experienced revenue losses in many of our businesses due to the impact that the pandemic has had on our customers. Conversely, public and private sector responses to COVID-19 vaccine distribution, especially in the United States, have also resulted in increased sales of scientific refrigeration equipment to customers within our Scientific reporting segment.

Given the impact that the pandemic created on our backlog and incoming order rate, we took immediate actions in the end of fiscal year 2020 to identify and implement cost savings and restructuring actions within each of our operating units as well as our corporate headquarters. Actions identified included reducing outside discretionary spend, the natural elimination of travel and trade show expenses that were a result of COVID-19 related curtailments, implementation of rolling furloughs in several businesses where appropriate, and the elimination of certain salaried and hourly positions. The costs, including restructuring charges, for many of these items occurred in our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020.

We exited the fourth quarter of 2021 with $136.4 million in cash and $200.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our leverage ratio covenant, as defined in our revolving credit agreement, was 1.31 to 1 and allowed us the capacity to borrow an additional $245.2 million at June 30, 2021. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity around the world and access to financing to execute on our short and long-term strategic plans.

Finally, we continue to monitor our ability to participate in any governmental assistance programs available to us in each of our global locations and participate in these programs as available and appropriate. For instance, the Company's required contributions to the United States funded pension plan for the second half of fiscal year 2021 of approximately $1.7 million was reduced to zero upon passage of the American Rescue Plan Act (the "Act"). The required contributions to the United States funded pension plan for fiscal year 2022 is approximately $1.0 million.

Net sales increased for fiscal year 2021 by $51.7 million or 8.6% when compared to the prior year end. The acquisition of Renco contributed $25.6 million or 4.2% to overall sales growth. Organic sales increased $15.3 million or 2.5% primarily as a result of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic economic recovery, and foreign currency had a $14.5 million or 2.4% positive impact on sales. These increases were offset by a $3.6 million impact on sales due to the divestiture of Enginetics in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021.We discuss our results and outlook for each segment below.

Net sales for the fiscal year 2020 decreased by $35.4 million, or 5.5%, when compared to the prior year. Incremental sales from our acquisitions accounted for $11.6 million or 1.8% of the increase, while organic sales accounted for a decrease of $40.9 million or 6.4%. Changes in foreign exchange rates contributed to sales declines of $6.1 million or 1.0%. The organic sales decrease occurred in all of our segments and was primarily a result of both direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic driven economic slowdown.

Gross Profit

Gross profit in fiscal year 2021 increased to $241.3 million, or a gross margin of 36.8% as compared to $215.5 million, or a gross margin of 35.6% in fiscal year 2020. This increase is a result of organic sales increases, productivity initiatives and targeted prices increases, offset by raw material and ocean freight cost headwinds, along with business mix.

Gross profit in fiscal year 2020 declined to $215.5 million, or a gross margin of 35.6% as compared to $234.7 million, or a gross margin of 36.7% in fiscal year 2019 primarily due to the pandemic related organic sales decline during the second half of the year.

Restructuring Charges

During fiscal year 2021, we incurred restructuring expenses of $3.5 million, primarily related to productivity improvements, facility rationalization activities, and global headcount reductions within our Engraving and Specialty Solutions segments.

During fiscal year 2020, we incurred restructuring expenses of $4.7 million primarily related to restructuring efforts that were intended to improve profitability, streamline production and reduce our cost base to a level commensurate with a post-pandemic operating environment. These efforts included approximately $1.1 million related to the announced closure of a Specialty Solutions pump rotor production facility in Ireland.

22

Acquisition Related Expenses

We incurred acquisition-related expenses of $0.9 million in fiscal year 2021. Acquisition-related expenses typically consist of due diligence, integration, and valuation expenses incurred in connection with recent or pending acquisitions.

Acquisition related expenses in fiscal year 2020 were $1.8 million. These expenses were comprised primarily of $1.2 million for deferred compensation payments earned by the Horizon Scientific seller during the year. Because these payments were contingent on the seller remaining an employee of the Company, they are treated as compensation expense. We made the third and final scheduled payment to the seller during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and this arrangement was settled.

Loss on Sale of Business

We recorded a pre-tax loss on sale of the Enginetics business of $14.6 million for fiscal year 2021. The loss included a $7.6 million impairment of goodwill assigned to the entirety of the Engineering Technologies segment and a $5.4 million write-down of intangible assets.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses, (“SG&A”) for the fiscal year 2021 were $163.1 million, or 24.8% of sales compared to $148.5 million, or 24.6% of sales during the prior year. SG&A expenses during this period were impacted by approximately $4.8 million of SG&A expenses related to the Renco acquisition, increased distribution expenses of $2.0 million as a result of increased organic sales, an increase in research and development spending to drive future product initiatives, and general wage inflation, offset by productivity and cost out actions.

SG&A for the fiscal year 2020 were $148.5 million, or 24.6% of sales compared to $150.3 million, or 23.5% of sales during the prior year. SG&A expenses were impacted by on-going expenses related to our recent acquisitions of $1.7 million offset by a decrease in variable distribution and selling expenses primarily as a result of organic sales declines.

Income from Operations

Income from operations for the fiscal year 2021 was $59.2 million, compared to $60.5 million during the prior year. The $1.4 million decrease, or 2.3% is primarily due to the loss on sale of the Enginetics business of $14.6 million along with material inflation, partially offset by income from organic sales increases and pricing actions, along with cost reduction activities and productivity improvement initiatives implemented in all of our businesses.

Income from operations for the fiscal year 2020 was $60.5 million, compared to $79.5 million during the prior year. The $19.0 million decrease, or 23.8%, was primarily due to the impact of volume related losses triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic along with material inflation, partially offset by cost reduction activities and productivity improvement initiatives implemented in all of our businesses.

Discussion of the performance of each of our reportable segments is fully explained in the segment analysis that follows.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the fiscal year 2021 was $6.0 million, a decrease of $1.5 million as compared to the prior year, due to lower borrowings outstanding.

Interest expense for the fiscal year 2020 was $7.5 million, a decrease of $3.3 million as compared to the prior year. Decreased interest expense was a result of lower borrowings and a lower effective interest rate.

Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Among other things, the CARES Act allows a five-year carryback period for tax losses generated in 2019 through 2021. The June 30, 2021 tax provision includes benefits of $0.2 million and $0.8 million from tax losses in the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020, respectively, that the CARES Act allows to be carried back to the years ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015, when the U.S. federal income tax rate was 35%.

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was $14.2 million, or an effective rate of 26.9% compared to $13.1 million, or an effective rate of 24.2% for the year ended June 30, 2020, and $18.7 million, or an effective rate of 27.9% for the year ended June 30, 2019. Changes in the effective tax rates from period to period may be significant as they depend on many factors including, but not limited to, the amount of the Company's income or loss, the mix of income earned in the US versus outside the US, the effective tax rate in each of the countries in which we earn income, and any one-time tax issues which occur during the period.

23

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was impacted by the following items: (i) a tax provision of $5.1 million due to the mix of income in various jurisdictions, (ii) a tax benefit of $1.0 million from our 2019 and 2020 tax losses that the CARES Act allows to be carried back to 2014 and 2015, when the U.S. federal income tax rate was 35%, (iii) a tax benefit of $0.8 million related to Federal R&D credit and Foreign Tax Credit, (iv) a tax benefit of $1.7 million related to return-to-accrual adjustments to true-up up prior-period provision amounts, and (v) the tax expense of $1.2 million attributable to the divestiture of the Enginetics Corporation during the year.

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by the following items: (i) a tax benefit of $1.2 million related to the Federal R&D credit, (ii) a tax provision of $1.4 million due to the mix of income in various jurisdictions, (iii) a tax benefit of $0.7 million related to the release of uncertain tax provision reserves, and (iv) a tax provision of $0.8 million related to GILTI.

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 was impacted by the following items: (i) a tax benefit related to the impact of the Sec. 965 toll tax of $0.8 million, (ii) a tax provision of $0.3 million related to the elimination of the performance based compensation exception for executive compensation under Sec. 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) a tax provision related to expected foreign withholding taxes on cash repatriation of $2.1 million.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital spending is focused on growth initiatives, cost reduction activities, and upgrades to extend the capabilities of our capital assets. In general, we anticipate our capital expenditures over the long-term will be approximately 3% to 4% of net sales.

During fiscal year 2021, capital expenditures increased to $21.4 million or 3.3% of net sales, as compared to $19.3 million, or 3.2%, of net sales in the prior year. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in fiscal year 2020, we reduced our capital expenditures to only necessary maintenance, safety and the highest priority growth initiatives. As the global economic recovery began to take shape in fiscal year 2021, we increased our investments in machinery and equipment for those opportunities that will provide future growth and increased productivity, primarily in our Electronics and Engraving segments. Additionally, in fiscal year 2021, $2.2 million of capital expenditures was spent for construction underway to build a new Electronics facility in Germany to replace a legacy facility sold in fiscal year 2019. We expect 2022 capital spending to be between $25 million and $30 million.

Backlog

Backlog includes all active or open orders for goods and services. Backlog also includes any future deliveries based on executed customer contracts, so long as such deliveries are based on agreed upon delivery schedules. Backlog orders are not necessarily an indicator of future sales levels because of variations in lead times and customer production demand pull systems, with the exception of Engineering Technologies. Customers may delay delivery of products or cancel orders prior to shipment, subject to possible cancellation penalties. Due to the nature of long-term agreements in the Engineering Technologies segment, the timing of orders and delivery dates can vary considerably resulting in significant backlog changes from one period to another. In general, the majority of net realizable backlog beyond one year comes from the Engineering Technologies segment.

Backlog orders in place at June 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

|  | As of June 30, 2021 |  |  | As of June 30, 2020 |

Total |  | $ | 247,167 |  |  | $ | 210,491 |  |  | $ | 190,340 |  |  | $ | 152,304 |

Total backlog realizable within one year increased $58.2 million, or 38.2% to $210.5 million at June 30, 2021 from $152.3 million at June 30, 2020. We experienced 76% increase in backlog at Scientific due to increased demand for cold storage products in connection with the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Electronics backlog increased 111% due to demand in all geographic markets in response to the beginning of the global recovery from the pandemic, new business opportunities and the acquisition of Renco. Backlog declines in the Engineering Technologies segment are primarily due to the divestiture of Enginetics.

Net sales in fiscal year 2021 increased $68.1 million, or 36.7%, when compared to the prior year as organic sales increased $35.9 million, or 3.6%. The Renco Electronics acquisition added $25.6 million or 13.8%. The foreign currency impacted increased sales by $6.6 million, or 6.5%. Organic sales growth was positive in all geographic areas as well as the product groups of magnetics, sensors and switching technologies supported by the rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic impact.

Income from operations in the fiscal year 2021 increased $16.9 million, or 56.6%, when compared to the prior year. The operating income increase was the result of organic sales growth, product line mix, various cost savings initiatives, and the impact of the Renco acquisition, offset by inflationary material cost increases and $0.6 million of purchase accounting expenses.

Looking forward to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, we expect slight revenue growth and moderate operating margin improvement compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, reflecting continued end market strength.

Net sales in fiscal year 2020 decreased 18.8 million, or 9.2%, when compared to the prior year. Sales were slightly down in North America while down significantly in Europe and Asia. New sensor, switch and relay applications continued to offset some of the core business loss due to economic conditions and COVID-19 impact. The incremental sales impact of the Agile Magnetics acquisition, which was acquired in September of fiscal year 2019, was $3.1 million during the year and foreign exchange rates unfavorably affected sales by $1.6 million or 0.8%.

Income from operations in the fiscal year 2020 decreased $11.5 million, or 27.8% when compared to the prior year. The operating income decline was due to the margin loss on the lower organic sales, inflationary cost increases, particularly rhodium costs, and incremental costs related to the COVID-19 environment, which more than offset cost saving initiatives implemented throughout the year.

Net sales in fiscal year 2021 increased by $3.3 million or 2.3% compared to the prior year. Favorable foreign exchange impacts of $6.6 million, or 4.6%, for the period were offset by organic sales declines of $3.3 million, or 2.3%, as a result of the regional timing of automotive projects.

Income from operations in fiscal year 2021 increased by $2.0 million, or 9.8%, when compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily a result of cost savings initiatives partially offset by organic sales declines for the year.

Looking forward to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, we expect slight to moderate revenue and operating margin declines from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021 reflecting the timing of projects and regional mix.

Net sales in fiscal year 2020 decreased by $6.0 million or 4.0% compared to the prior year. The effect of acquisitions generated $8.5 million or 5.7% of additional sales for fiscal year 2020 which were partially offset by foreign exchange declines of $3.6 million for the year. Organic sales declines of $10.9 million, or 7.3%, were a result of the timing of automotive projects, slower incoming workloads as a result of pandemic related delays, and the closure of unprofitable sites as part of our announced restructuring.

Income from operations in fiscal year 2020 decreased by $3.5 million, or 14.6%, when compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily a result of organic sales declines for the year.

Net sales in fiscal year 2021 increased by $21.9 million, or 38.1% when compared to the prior year. The net sales increase reflects overall growth in end markets including pharmaceutical channels, clinical laboratories, and academic institutions, primarily in response to customer needs for cold storage surrounding COVID-19 vaccine distribution.

Income from operations in fiscal year 2021 increased by $4.5 million, or 32.8%, reflecting revenue growth, partially offset by reinvestments in the business for future growth opportunities and increased freight costs.

Looking forward to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, we expect a moderate sequential decrease in revenue and a slight operating margin decline from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, reflecting lower demand for COVID-19 vaccine related storage and increased freight costs partially offset by pricing actions.

Net sales in fiscal year 2020 remained relatively flat compared to the prior year. We experienced decreased sales volume in our clinical laboratories, physicians' offices, hospitals and academic laboratories markets, primarily due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic downturn. This was largely offset by sales in the pharmaceutical market.

Income from operations in fiscal year 2020 increased $0.1 million or 0.5% when compared to the prior year as modest sales declines were overcome with cost controls of labor and discretionary spending as well as stronger sales in our pharmaceutical market.

Net sales in fiscal year 2021 decreased $28.5 million or 27.4% when compared to the prior year. Sales distribution by market in 2021 was as follows: 40% space, 26% aviation, 19% defense, 7% energy, and 8% other markets. The decline was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on the commercial aviation segment, especially engine parts manufacturing, along with the divestiture of our Enginetics business.

Income from operations in fiscal year 2021 decreased $7.9 million or 56.1% when compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume in the commercial aviation segment along with project timing in the energy markets. These declines were partially offset by higher defense segment sales, improvements in manufacturing efficiencies, and cost reductions in response to the reduced volume levels.

Looking forward to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, we expect slight to moderate sequential decrease in revenue and operating margin from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, due to project timing.

Net sales in fiscal year 2020 decreased $1.2 million or 1.2% when compared to the prior year. A decline in aviation sales of 8% from the prior year was primarily in the aircraft engine segment, as a result of both the grounding of the Boeing MAX 737 aircraft and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the aviation industry in general. Space market sales increased 13.4% from the prior year driven by higher sales in the unmanned and manned space segment on production and new development programs, while defense sales increased by 12.5% from the prior year driven by higher volume in the missile segment.

Income from operations in fiscal year 2020 increased $2.8 million or 25.6% when compared to the prior year. The increase in operating income was driven by improved manufacturing efficiencies, cost reduction programs implemented during the year, and a favorable product mix.

Net sales for fiscal year 2021 decreased $13.1 million, or 11.5% when compared to the prior year. Organic sales declined $13.6 million, or 11.9%, partially offset by positive foreign exchange impacts of $0.5 million, or 0.5%. Decreased sales volume is primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic earlier in the year, which created market downturns in the beverage, food service, and OEM equipment markets.

Income from operations for fiscal year 2021 decreased $4.2 million, or 22.6%, when compared to the prior year. The decrease during the period is primarily due to reduced sales volume in each of our businesses and increased raw material costs in the OEM equipment market, particularly for steel, partially offset by productivity and cost out actions.

Looking forward to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, we expect a slight sequential increase in revenue and operating margin from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, due to a continued recovery in Merchandising and Pumps businesses, partially offset by the impact of a prior work stoppage at one of the plants.

Net sales for fiscal year 2020 decreased $9.3 million, or 7.6% when compared to the prior year as organic sales declined by $8.8 million or 7.1% and foreign exchange rates unfavorably affected sales by $0.6 million or 0.5%. Decreased sales volume is primarily due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic which created market downturns in the beverage, convenience store and dump markets.

Income from operations for fiscal year 2020 decreased $0.5 million, or 2.4%, when compared to the prior year, primarily due to decreased sales volume in each of our businesses. The sales volume decrease was offset in our Hydraulics and Display Merchandising businesses by favorable mix, cost control of labor, and the implementation of identified manufacturing efficiencies.

Corporate expenses remained flat in in fiscal year 2021 primarily due to general wage inflation and benefit increases offset by cost saving reductions compared to the prior year.

Corporate expenses increased by 19.7% in fiscal year 2020 primarily due to increased stock-based compensation, management transition, and benefit expenses in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2020.

The loss on sale of business, restructuring, and acquisition-related costs have been discussed above in the Company Overview.

Discontinued Operations

In pursing our business strategy, the Company may divest certain businesses. Future divestitures may be classified as discontinued operations based on their strategic significance to the Company. Results of the Refrigerated Solutions Group and Cooking Solutions Group in current and prior periods have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements and excluded from the results of continuing operations. Activity related to discontinued operations is as follows (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2021, our total cash balance was $136.4 million, of which $92.2 million was held outside of the United States. During fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, we repatriated $37.6 million, $39.2 million, and $51.5 million of our cash previously held outside of the United States, respectively. During fiscal year 2022, we anticipate returning $30.0 million to $35.0 million of foreign cash, however, the amount and timing of cash repatriation during 2022 will be dependent upon each business unit’s operational needs including requirements to fund working capital, capital expenditure, and jurisdictional tax payments. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to capital controls; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2021 was $81.9 million compared to net cash provided by continuing operating activities of $54.7 million in the prior year. We generated $94.7 million from income statement activities and used $4.4 million of cash to fund working capital decreases. Cash flow used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2021 totaled $39.1 million. Uses of investing cash consisted primarily of $27.4 million for the acquisition of Renco and capital expenditures of $21.8 million offset by $11.7 million of proceeds from sale of the Enginetics business. Cash used by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2021 were $31.7 million and included stock repurchases of $21.2 million and cash paid for dividends of $11.4 million.

28

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2020 was $54.7 million compared to net cash provided by continuing operating activities of $72.9 million in the prior year. We generated $88.6 million from income statement activities and used $32.1 million of cash to fund working capital increases. Cash flow used in investing activities for the year ended June 30, 2020 totaled $20.6 million. Uses of investing cash consisted primarily of capital expenditures of $21.52 million. Cash used by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2020 were $19.0 million and included cash paid for dividends of $10.6 million and stock repurchases of $10.4 million offset by net borrowings of $1.2 million.

We sponsor a number of defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans. The U.S. pension plan is frozen for all participants. We have evaluated the current and long-term cash requirements of these plans, and our existing sources of liquidity are expected to be sufficient to cover required contributions under ERISA and other governing regulations.

The fair value of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plan assets was $212.6 million at June 30, 2021, as compared to $194.8 million as of June 30, 2020. We participate in two multi-employer pension plans and sponsor six defined benefit plans including two in the U.S. and one in the U.K., Germany, Ireland, and Japan. The Company’s pension plan is frozen for U.S. employees and participants in the plan ceased accruing future benefits. Our primary U.S. defined benefit plan is not expected to be 100% funded under ERISA rules at June 30, 2021.

U.S. defined benefit plan contributions of $7.8 million were made during fiscal year 2021 compared to $3.1 million during fiscal year 2020.The required contributions to the United States funded pension plan for fiscal year 2022 is approximately $1.0 million. The Company expects to make contributions during fiscal year 2022 of $0.2 million and $0.3 million to its unfunded defined benefit plans in the U.S. and Germany, respectively. Any subsequent plan contributions will depend on the results of future actuarial valuations.

We have evaluated the current and long-term cash requirements of our defined benefit and defined contribution plans as of June 30, 2021 and determined our operating cash flows from continuing operations and available liquidity are expected to be sufficient to cover the required contributions under ERISA and other governing regulations.

We have an insurance program in place to fund supplemental retirement income benefits for five retired executives. Current executives and new hires are not eligible for this program. At June 30, 2021, the underlying policies had a cash surrender value of $19.3 million and are reported net of loans of $9.1 million for which we have the legal right of offset. These amounts are reported net on our balance sheet.

Capital Structure

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company entered into a five-year Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“credit agreement”, or “facility”). The facility has a borrowing limit of $500 million and can be increased by an amount of up to $250 million, in accordance with specified conditions contained in the agreement. The facility also includes a $10 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $35 million sublimit for letters of credit.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we will pay a variable rate of interest and a fee on borrowed amounts as well as a commitment fee on unused amounts under the facility. The amount of the commitment fee will depend upon both the undrawn amount remaining available under the facility and the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) ratio at the last day of each quarter.

Funds borrowed under the facility may be used for the repayment of debt, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions (so long as certain conditions, including a specified funded debt to EBITDA leverage ratio is maintained), and other general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has used $6.0 million against the letter of credit sub-facility and had the ability to borrow $245.2 million under the facility based on our current trailing twelve-month EBITDA. The facility contains customary representations, warranties and restrictive covenants, as well as specific financial covenants. The Company’s current financial covenants under the facility are as follows:

Interest Coverage Ratio - The Company is required to maintain a ratio of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, as Adjusted (“Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility”), to interest expense for the trailing twelve months of at least 2.75:1. Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility specifically excludes extraordinary and certain other defined items such as cash restructuring and acquisition-related charges up to the lower of $20.0 million or 10% of EBITDA. The facility allows for unlimited non-cash charges including purchase accounting and goodwill adjustments. At June 30, 2021, the Company’s Interest Coverage Ratio was 13.1:1.

29

Leverage Ratio- The Company’s ratio of funded debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA per the Credit Facility, calculated as Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility plus depreciation and amortization, may not exceed 3.5:1. Under certain circumstances in connection with a Material Acquisition (as defined in the Facility), the Facility allows for the leverage ratio to go as high as 4.0:1 for a four-fiscal quarter period. At June 30, 2021, the Company’s Leverage Ratio was 1.31:1.

As of June 30, 2021, we had borrowings under our facility of $200.0 million. In order to manage our interest rate exposure on these borrowings, we are party to $200.0 million of active floating to fixed rate swaps. These swaps convert our interest payments from LIBOR to a weighted average rate of 1.27%. The effective rate of interest for our outstanding borrowings, including the impact of the interest rate swaps, was 2.59%. Our primary cash requirements in addition to day-to-day operating needs include interest payments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases, and dividends.

In connection with the acquisition of Renco, we assumed $0.7 million of debt under the Paycheck Protection Program, within the United States Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act. These borrowings were forgiven in June 2021.

Our primary sources of cash are cash flows from continuing operations and borrowings under the facility. We expect that fiscal year 2022 depreciation and amortization expense will be between $21.0 and $22.0 million and $12.0 and $13.0 million, respectively.

The following table sets forth our capitalization at June 30:

|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Long-term debt |  | $ | 199,490 |  |  | $ | 199,150 |
Less cash and cash equivalents |  |  | 136,367 |  |  |  | 118,809 |
Net debt |  |  | 63,123 |  |  |  | 80,341 |
Stockholders' equity |  |  | 506,425 |  |  |  | 461,632 |
Total capitalization |  | $ | 569,548 |  |  | $ | 541,973 |

Stockholders’ equity increased year over year by $44.8 million, primarily as a result of current year net income of $36.5 million. The Company's net debt to capital percentage changed to 11.1% as of June 30, 2021 from 14.8% in the prior year.

At June 30, 2021, we expect to pay estimated interest payments of $15.4 million within the next five years. This estimate is based upon effective interest rates as of June 30, 2021 and excludes any interest rate swaps which are assets to us. See Item 7A for further discussions surrounding interest rate exposure on our variable rate borrowings.

Post-retirement benefits and pension plan contribution payments represents future pension payments to comply with local funding requirements. Our policy is to fund domestic pension liabilities in accordance with the minimum and maximum limits imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), federal income tax laws and the funding requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006. At June 30, 2021, we expect to pay estimated post-retirement benefit payments of $175.5 million. See "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 16. Employee Benefit Plans" for additional information regarding these obligations.

At June 30, 2021, we had $37.0 million of operating lease obligations. See "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 20. Leases" for additional information regarding these obligations.

At June 30, 2021, we had $9.4 million of non-current liabilities for uncertain tax positions. We are not able to provide a reasonable estimate of the timing of future payments related to these obligations.

Other Matters

Inflation – Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, occupancy costs, freight and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Inflation for medical costs can impact both our employee benefit costs as well as our reserves for workers' compensation claims. We monitor the inflationary rate and make adjustments to reserves whenever it is deemed necessary. Our ability to control worker compensation insurance medical cost inflation is dependent upon our ability to manage claims and purchase insurance coverage to limit the maximum exposure for us. Each of our segments is subject to the effects of changing raw material costs caused by the underlying commodity price movements. In the past year, we have experienced price fluctuations for a number of materials including rhodium, steel, and other metal commodities. These materials are some of the key elements in the products manufactured in these segments. Wherever possible, we will implement price increases to offset the impact of changing prices. The ultimate acceptance of these price increases, if implemented, will be impacted by our affected divisions’ respective competitors and the timing of their price increases. In general, we do not enter into purchase contracts that extend beyond one operating cycle. While Standex considers our relationship with our suppliers to be good, there can be no assurances that we will not experience any supply shortage.

Foreign Currency Translation – Our primary functional currencies used by our non-U.S. subsidiaries are the Euro, British Pound Sterling (Pound), Japanese (Yen), and Chinese (Yuan).

30

Defined Benefit Pension Plans – We record expenses related to these plans based upon various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates and assumed rates of returns. The Company’s pension plan is frozen for all eligible U.S. employees and participants in the plan ceased accruing future benefits.

Environmental Matters – To the best of our knowledge, we believe that we are presently in substantial compliance with all existing applicable environmental laws and regulations and do not anticipate any instances of non-compliance that will have a material effect on our future capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Seasonality – We are a diversified business with generally low levels of seasonality.

Employee Relations – The Company has labor agreements with five union locals in the United States and several European employees belong to European trade unions.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Consolidated Financial Statements include accounts of the Company and all of our subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Although, we believe that materially different amounts would not be reported due to the accounting policies described below, the application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We have listed a number of accounting policies which we believe to be the most critical.

Revenue Recognition – Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted accounting standard ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of June 30, 2018. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, whereby the cumulative impact of all prior periods is recorded in retained earnings or other impacted balance sheet line items upon adoption. The impact on the Company’s consolidated income statements, balance sheets, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date as a result of applying ASC 606 have been reflected within those respective financial statements. The Company’s accounting policy has been updated to align with ASC 606.

The adoption of ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle that provides enhanced revenue recognition disclosures. Revenue is recognized when the control of the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes all revenues on a gross basis based on consideration of the criteria set forth in ASC Topic 606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations.

Most of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which represents, the product or service being sold to the customer. Some contracts include multiple performance obligations such as a product and the related installation and/or extended warranty. Additionally, most of the Company’s contracts offer assurance type warranties in connection with the sale of a product to customers. Assurance type warranties provide a customer with assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. Assurance type warranties do not represent a separate performance obligation.

In general, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time control transfers to their customer based on predetermined shipping terms. Revenue is recognized over time under certain long-term contracts within the Engineering Technologies and Engraving groups for highly customized customer products that have no alternative use and in which the contract specifies the Company has a right to payment for its costs, plus a reasonable margin. For products recognized over time, the transfer of control is measured pro rata, based upon current estimates of costs to complete such contracts. Losses on contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become determinable. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected on a cumulative basis in the period in which the basis for such revision becomes known.

Collectability of Accounts Receivable – Accounts Receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that represent management's best estimate of estimated losses over the life of the underlying asset. Our estimate for the allowance for credit loss accounts related to trade receivables includes evaluation of specific accounts where we have information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligation together with a detailed review of the collectability of pooled assets based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative factors.

Realizability of Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The Company regularly reviews inventory values on hand using specific aging categories and records a write down for obsolete and excess inventory based on historical usage and estimated future usage. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected by management, adjustments to inventory valuations may be required.

31

Realization of Goodwill – Goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than its carrying amount of the asset. The Company’s annual test for impairment is performed using a May 31st measurement date. We have identified seven reporting units for impairment testing: Electronics, Engraving, Scientific, Engineering Technologies, Procon, Federal, and Hydraulics.

As quoted market prices are not available for the Company’s reporting units, the fair value of the reporting units is determined using a discounted cash flow model (income approach). This method uses various assumptions that are specific to each individual reporting unit in order to determine the fair value. In addition, the Company compares the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units to its overall market capitalization.

Our annual impairment testing at each reporting unit relied on assumptions surrounding general market conditions, short-term growth rates, a terminal growth rate of 2.5%, and detailed management forecasts of future cash flows prepared by the relevant reporting unit. Fair values were determined primarily by discounting estimated future cash flows at a weighted average cost of capital of 9.54%. During our annual impairment testing, we evaluated the sensitivity of our most critical assumption, the discount rate, and determined that a 100-basis point change in the discount rate selected would not have impacted the test results. Additionally, the Company could reduce the terminal growth rate from its current 2.5% to 1.0% and the fair value of all reporting units would still exceed their carrying value.

While we believe that our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, changes in assumptions could significantly affect our valuations and result in impairments in the future. The most significant assumption involved in the Company’s determination of fair value is the cash flow projections of each reporting unit.

As a result of our annual assessment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company determined that the fair value of the seven reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, no impairment charges were recorded in connection with our annual assessment during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021.

In connection with the divestiture of Enginetics, the Company determined that, based on the net realizable value of the operations divested, the goodwill of the Engineering Technologies reporting unit was partially impaired. As such, the Company recognized $7.6 million in impairment charges during the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. As a result of the Enginetics divestiture, the Company completed an interim goodwill impairment assessment for its other reporting units in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. During the third quarter fiscal year 2021 review, the Company determined that there were no indications of impairment, therefore, no additional impairment charges were recorded

Cost of Employee Benefit Plans – We provide a range of benefits to certain retirees, including pensions and some postretirement benefits. We record expenses relating to these plans based upon various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The expected return on plan assets assumption of 6.9% in the U.S. is based on our expectation of the long-term average rate of return on assets in the pension funds and is reflective of the current and projected asset mix of the funds and considers the historical returns earned on the funds. We have analyzed the rates of return on assets used and determined that these rates are reasonable based on the plans’ historical performance relative to the overall markets as well as our current expectations for long-term rates of returns for our pension assets. The U.S. discount rate of 3.0% reflects the current rate at which pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year. The discount rate is determined by matching our expected benefit payments from a stream of AA- or higher bonds available in the marketplace, adjusted to eliminate the effects of call provisions. We review our actuarial assumptions, including discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, on at least an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when appropriate. Based on information provided by our actuaries and other relevant sources, we believe that our assumptions are reasonable.

The cost of employee benefit plans includes the selection of assumptions noted above. A twenty-five-basis point change in the U.S. expected return on plan assets assumptions, holding our discount rate and other assumptions constant, would increase or decrease pension expense by approximately $0.5 million per year. A twenty-five-basis point change in our discount rate, holding all other assumptions constant, would have no impact on 2021 pension expense as changes to amortization of net losses would be offset by changes to interest cost. In future years, the impact of discount rate changes could yield different sensitivities. See the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding pension plans.

32

Business Combinations - The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets in determining the estimated fair values for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these fair values, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill or require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets.

Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. During this measurement period, the Company will adjust assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period earnings.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 1. Summary of Accounting Policies” for information regarding the effect of recently issued accounting pronouncements on our consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, and notes for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Risk Management

We are exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and changes in foreign currency exchange. To reduce these risks, we selectively use, from time to time, financial instruments and other proactive management techniques. We have internal policies and procedures that place financial instruments under the direction of the Treasurer and restrict all derivative transactions to those intended for hedging purposes only. The use of financial instruments for trading purposes (except for certain investments in connection with the non-qualified defined contribution plan) or speculation is strictly prohibited. The Company has no majority-owned subsidiaries that are excluded from the consolidated financial statements. Further, we have no interests in or relationships with any special purpose entities.

Exchange Risk

We are exposed to both transactional risk and translation risk associated with exchange rates. The transactional risk is mitigated, in large part, by natural hedges developed with locally denominated debt service on intercompany accounts and the fact that most of our foreign currency sales are transacted in their functional currency. We also mitigate certain of our foreign currency exchange rate risks by entering into forward foreign currency contracts from time to time. The contracts are used as a hedge against anticipated foreign cash flows, such as loan payments, customer remittances, and materials purchases, and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The fair values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates from market rates would decrease the fair value of the contracts. However, any such losses or gains would generally be offset by corresponding gains and losses, respectively, on the related hedged asset or liability. At June 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair value, in the aggregate, of the Company’s open foreign exchange contracts was a liability of $2.8 million and $2.5 million respectively.

Our primary translation risk is with the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Peso, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan. A hypothetical 10% appreciation or depreciation of the value of any these foreign currencies to the U.S. Dollar at June 30, 2021, would not result in a material change in our operations, financial position, or cash flows. We hedge our most significant foreign currency translation risks primarily through cross currency swaps and other instruments, as appropriate.

Interest Rate

The Company’s effective interest rate on borrowings was 2.59% and 2.59% at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our interest rate exposure is limited primarily to interest rate changes on our variable rate borrowings, and is mitigated by our use of interest rate swap agreements to modify our exposure to interest rate movements. At June 30, 2021, we have $200.0 million of active floating to fixed rate swaps with terms ranging from one to four years. These swaps convert our interest payments from LIBOR to a weighted average rate of 1.27%. At June 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair value, in the aggregate, of the Company’s interest rate swaps were liabilities of $3.1 million and $6.7 million respectively. A 25-basis point increase in interest rates would not change our annual interest expense as all of our outstanding debt is currently converted to fixed rate debts by means of interest rate swaps.

33

Concentration of Credit Risk

We have a diversified customer base. As such, the risk associated with concentration of credit risk is inherently minimized. As of June 30, 2021, no one customer accounted for more than 5% of our consolidated outstanding receivables or of our sales.

Commodity Prices

The Company is exposed to fluctuating market prices for all commodities used in its manufacturing processes. Each of our segments is subject to the effects of changing raw material costs caused by the underlying commodity price movements. In general, we do not enter into purchase contracts that extend beyond one operating cycle. While Standex considers our relationship with our suppliers to be good, there can be no assurances that we will not experience any supply shortage.

The Engineering Technologies, Specialty Solutions, and Electronics segments are all sensitive to price increases for steel and aluminum products, other metal commodities such as rhodium and copper, and petroleum-based products. In the past year, we have experienced price fluctuations for a number of materials including rhodium, steel, and other metal commodities. These materials are some of the key elements in the products manufactured in these segments. Wherever possible, we will implement price increases to offset the impact of changing prices. The ultimate acceptance of these price increases, if implemented, will be impacted by our affected divisions’ respective competitors and the timing of their price increases.

Standex International Corporation and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Standex International Corporation (“Standex” or the “Company”) is a diversified industrial manufacturer in five broad business segments: Electronics, Engraving, Scientific, Engineering Technologies, and Specialty Solutions with operations in the United States, Europe, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, South Africa, India, and China. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standex International Corporation and its subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. We evaluated subsequent events through the date and time our consolidated financial statements were issued.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. Estimates are based on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities when they are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates assist in the identification and assessment of the accounting treatment necessary with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements have considered the implications on the Company as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its related economic impacts. As a result of the COVID 19 pandemic, there is heightened volatility and uncertainty in customer demand and the worldwide economy. However, the magnitude of such impact on the Company’s business and its duration is uncertain. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or adjustments to the carrying value of its assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and the issuance date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. At June 30, 2021 and 2020, the C ompany’s cash was comprised solely of cash on deposit.

Trading Securities

The Company purchases investments for its non-qualified defined contribution plan for employees who exceed certain thresholds under our traditional 401(k) plan. These investments are classified as trading and reported at fair value. The investments, generally consisting of mutual funds, are included in other non-current assets and amounted to $3.0 million at June 30, 2021 and $2.1 million at June 30, 2020. Gains and losses on these investments are recorded as other non-operating (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accounts Receivable Allowances

The Company has provided an allowance for credit losses. All trade account receivables are reported net of allowances for expected credit losses. The allowances for expected credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our trade account receivables over the life of the underlying assets. Assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled together for determination of their current expected credit losses. The Company regularly performs detailed reviews of its pooled assets to evaluate the collectability of receivables based on a combination of past, current, and future financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected.

40

The changes in the allowances for credit losses accounts during 2021, 2020, and 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Balance at beginning of year |  |  | $ 2,113 |  |  |  | $ 1,250 |  |  |  | $ 1,590 |
Acquisitions and other |  |  | 20 |  |  |  | 192 |  |  |  | 66 |
Provision charged to expense |  |  | 605 |  |  |  | 824 |  |  |  | (48) |
Write-offs, net of recoveries |  |  | (1,150) |  |  |  | (153) |  |  |  | (358) |
Balance at end of year |  |  | $ 1,588 |  |  |  | $ 2,113 |  |  |  | $ 1,250 |

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of (first-in, first-out) cost or market. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly, and write downs are made for obsolete, slow moving, and non-saleable inventory, based primarily on management’s forecast of customer demand for those products in inventory.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets that are used in operations, excluding goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recognition and measurement of a potential impairment loss is performed on assets grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level where identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending upon the nature of the assets.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on assets over their estimated useful lives, generally using the straight-line method. Lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings (years) |  | 40 | to | 50 |
Leasehold improvements |  | Lesser of useful life or term, unless renewals are deemed to be reasonably assured |
Machinery and equipment (years) |  | 8 | to | 15 |
Furniture and fixtures (years) |  | 3 | to | 10 |
Computer hardware and software (years) |  | 3 | to | 7 |

Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements, including those made to leased facilities, are capitalized.

Leases

At the inception of an arrangement, we determined whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities, as applicable. We do not have material financing leases.

Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which we could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. To estimate our incremental borrowing rate, a credit rating applicable to the Company is estimated using a synthetic credit rating analysis since we do not currently have a rating agency-based credit rating.

We have elected not to recognize leases with an original term of one year or less on the balance sheet. We typically only include an initial lease term in our assessment of a lease arrangement. Options to renew a lease are not included in the Company’s assessment unless there is reasonable certainty that the Company will renew.

41

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

All business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Definite lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized over the following useful lives:

Customer relationships (years) |  | 5 | to | 15 |
Patents (years) |  | 12 |  |  |
Non-compete agreements (years) |  | 5 |  |  |
Other (years) |  | 10 |  |  |
Developed technology (years) |  | 10 | to | 20 |

Trade names are considered to have an indefinite life and are not amortized.

See discussion of the Company’s assessment of impairment in Note 6 – Goodwill and Note 7 – Intangible Assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The financial instruments, shown below, are presented at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. When observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models may be applied.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities and the methodologies used in valuation are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets consist of shares in various mutual funds (for the deferred compensation plan, investments are participant-directed) which invest in a broad portfolio of debt and equity securities. These assets are valued based on publicly quoted market prices for the funds’ shares as of the balance sheet dates. For pension assets (see Note 16 – Employee Benefit Plans), securities are valued based on quoted market prices for securities held directly by the trust.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in an active market, that are observable either directly or indirectly through correlation with market data. For foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps, the Company values the instruments based on the market price of instruments with similar terms, which are based on spot and forward rates as of the balance sheet dates. For pension assets held in commingled funds (see Note 16 – Employee Benefit Plans), the Company values investments based on the net asset value of the funds, which are derived from the quoted market prices of the underlying fund holdings. The Company has considered the creditworthiness of counterparties in valuing all assets and liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based upon the Company’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities among levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the years ended June 30, 2021 or 2020. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the date they occur.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

(a) The fair value of our contingent consideration arrangement is determined based on our evaluation as to the probability and amount of any deferred compensation that has been earned to date.

The Company’s financial liabilities based upon Level 3 inputs include contingent consideration arrangements relating to its acquisition of Piazza Rosa, GS Engineering, and Renco Electronics. The Company is contractually obligated to pay contingent consideration payments to the Sellers of these businesses based on the achievement of certain criteria.

The Company is contractually obligated to pay contingent consideration payments in connection with the Piazza Rosa acquisition based on the achievement of certain revenue targets during each of the first three years following acquisition. Contingent acquisition payments were payable in euros and could be paid in periods through fiscal year 2021. Piazza Rosa exceeded the defined revenue targets during the first and second years and payments were made to the Piazza Rosa sellers during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. The final revenue target was not achieved in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. This obligation is considered settled as of December 31, 2020.

The Company is also obligated to pay contingent consideration to the sellers of GS Engineering in the event that certain revenue and gross margin targets are achieved during the five years following acquisition. The targets set in the GS stock purchase agreement were not met for the first or second year, which concluded in the fourth quarter of fiscal years 2020 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the Company could be required to pay up to $12.8 million for contingent consideration arrangements if the revenue and gross margin targets are met in fiscal years 2022 through 2024.

The Company is also obligated to pay contingent consideration to the sellers of Renco Electronics in the event that certain earnings targets are achieved during the three years following acquisition. Contingent acquisition payments are scheduled to be paid in periods through fiscal year 2024. As of June 30, 2021, the Company could be required to pay up to $3.5 million for contingent consideration arrangements if the earnings targets are met. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company paid $1.2 million to the sellers as Renco exceeded the defined revenue targets during the first year of the measurement period.

The Company has determined the fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future payments was based on several factors, the most significant of which are the financial performance of the acquired businesses and the risk-adjusted discount rate for the fair value measurement.

43

The Company will update its assumptions each reporting period based on new developments and record such amounts at fair value based on the revised assumptions until the agreements expire.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is subject to credit risk through trade receivables. Concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is minimized because of the diversification of our operations, as well as our large customer base and our geographical dispersion. No individual customer accounts for more than 5% of revenues or accounts receivable in the periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

In general, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time control transfers to its customer based on predetermined shipping terms. Revenue is recognized over time under certain long-term contracts within the Engineering Technologies and Engraving groups for highly customized customer products that have no alternative use and in which the contract specifies the Company has a right to payment for its costs, plus a reasonable margin. For products manufactured over time, the transfer of control is measured pro rata, based upon current estimates of costs to complete such contracts. Losses on contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become determinable. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected on a cumulative basis in the period in which the basis for such revision becomes known.

Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The Company includes expenses in either cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative categories based upon the natural classification of the expenses. Cost of goods sold includes expenses associated with the acquisition, inspection, manufacturing and receiving of materials for use in the manufacturing process. These costs include inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs as well as depreciation, amortization, wages, benefits and other costs that are incurred directly or indirectly to support the manufacturing process. Selling, general and administrative includes expenses associated with the distribution of our products, sales effort, administration costs and other costs that are not incurred to support the manufacturing process. The Company records distribution costs associated with the sale of inventory as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These expenses include warehousing costs, outbound freight charges and costs associated with salaried distribution personnel. Our gross profit margins may not be comparable to those of other entities due to different classifications of costs and expenses.

Our total advertising expenses, which are classified under selling, general, and administrative expenses are primarily related to trade shows, and totaled $1.7 million, $1.3 million, and $2.5 million for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs, which are classified under selling, general, and administrative expenses, were $9.6 million, $6.9 million, and $6.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Warranties

The expected cost associated with warranty obligations on our products is recorded when the revenue is recognized. The Company’s estimate of warranty cost is based on contract terms and historical warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience. Since warranty estimates are forecasts based on the best available information, claims costs may differ from amounts provided. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties are made as changes in the obligations become reasonably estimable.

44

The changes in the continuing operations warranty reserve, which are recorded as accrued liabilities, during 2021, 2020, and 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Balance at beginning of year |  | $ | 1,781 |  |  | $ | 1,911 |  |  | $ | 1,849 |
Acquisitions and other charges |  |  | 68 |  |  |  | (86 | ) |  |  | (85 | )
Warranty expense |  |  | 2,007 |  |  |  | 1,783 |  |  |  | 2,346 |
Warranty claims |  |  | (1,770 | ) |  |  | (1,827 | ) |  |  | (2,199 | )
Balance at end of year |  | $ | 2,086 |  |  | $ | 1,781 |  |  | $ | 1,911 |

The increase in warranty expense during 2021 compared to 2020 is primarily due to increased claim experience in Scientific primarily as a result of sales volume increases during the most recent fiscal year.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Restricted stock awards, including performance based awards, generally vest over terms from one to three years. Compensation expense associated with these awards is recorded based on their grant-date fair value and is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation cost for an award with a performance condition is based on the probable outcome of that performance condition. The stated vesting period is considered non-substantive for retirement eligible participants. Accordingly, the Company recognizes any remaining unrecognized compensation expense upon participant reaching retirement eligibility.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of our non-U.S. operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. Dollars on a monthly basis using period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses of these operations are translated using monthly average exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustment is reported as a component of comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations and were not material for any period presented.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company recognizes all derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are periodically used to limit the impact of currency fluctuations on certain anticipated foreign cash flows, such as foreign purchases of materials and loan payments from subsidiaries. The Company enters into such contracts for hedging purposes only. The Company has designated certain of these currency contracts as hedges, and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with these contracts will be reported in net income.

The Company also uses interest rate swaps to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness. The Company values the swaps based on contract prices in the derivatives market for similar instruments. The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreements, including any that may be forward-dated, as cash flow hedges, and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swaps will be reported by the Company in interest expense.

The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act” or “TCJA”) was passed which, among other things, reduces the federal corporate tax rate to 21.0% effective for taxable years starting on or after January 1, 2018. For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019 the Company recorded federal taxes using a federal rate of 21.0%.

The provision for fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was impacted by several law changes implemented by the Act such as the interest deduction limitation and Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI). As allowed under U.S. GAAP, the Company has elected to treat any taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income under the GILTI provision as a current-period expense when incurred. The Company will continue to monitor guidance regarding these changes and their impact on the financial statements in later periods.

45

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $14.2 million, $13.1 million, and $18.7 million, respectively, or an effective rate of 26.9%, 24.3%, and 27.9%, respectively. Changes in the effective tax rates from period to period may be significant as they depend on many factors including, but not limited to, the amount of the Company's income or loss, the mix of income earned in the US versus outside the US, the effective tax rate in each of the countries in which we earn income, and any one-time tax issues which occur during the period.

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was impacted by the following items: (i) a tax provision of $5.1 million due to the mix of income in various jurisdictions, (ii) a tax benefit of $1.0 million from our 2019 and 2020 tax losses that the CARES Act allows to be carried back to 2014 and 2015, when the U.S. federal income tax rate was 35%, (iii) a tax benefit of $0.8 million related to Federal R&D credit and Foreign Tax Credit, (iv) a tax benefit of $1.7 million related to return to provision adjustments, and (v) the tax expense of $1.2 million attributable to the divestiture of the Enginetics Corporation during the year.

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by the following items: (i) a tax benefit of $1.2 million related to the Federal R&D credit, (ii) a tax provision of $1.4 million due to the mix of income in various jurisdictions, (iii) a tax benefit of $0.7 million related to the release of uncertain tax provision reserves, and (iv) a tax provision of $0.8 million related to GILTI.

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 was impacted by the following items: (i) a tax benefit related to the impact of the Sec. 965 toll tax of $0.8 million, (ii) a tax provision of $0.3 million related to the elimination of the performance based compensation exception for executive compensation under Sec. 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) a tax provision related to expected foreign withholding taxes on cash repatriation of $2.1 million.

Earnings Per Share

(share amounts in thousands) |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Basic – Average Shares Outstanding |  |  | 12,156 |  |  |  | 12,324 |  |  |  | 12,574 |
Effect of Dilutive Securities – Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards |  |  | 102 |  |  |  | 63 |  |  |  | 59 |
Diluted – Average Shares Outstanding |  |  | 12,258 |  |  |  | 12,387 |  |  |  | 12,633 |

Both basic and diluted income is the same for computing earnings per share. There were no outstanding instruments that had an anti-dilutive effect at June 30,2021. There were 32,000 outstanding instruments that had an anti-dilutive effect at June 30, 2020. There were no outstanding instruments that had an anti-dilutive effect at June 30, 2019.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which modifies the measurement approach for credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis from an “incurred loss” method to “an expected loss” method. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2019-11 is an accounting pronouncement that amends ASU 2016-13. This amendment provides clarity and improves the codification to ASU 2016-13. The pronouncements are concurrently effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods therein. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 in fiscal year 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company has updated its critical accounting policy related to trade account receivables and allowances for credit losses. See Accounts Receivable Allowances above.

2. Acquisitions

The Company’s recent acquisitions are strategically significant to the future growth prospects of the Company. At the time of the acquisition and June 30, 2021, the Company evaluated the significance of each acquisition on a standalone basis and in aggregate, considering both qualitative and quantitative factors.

46

Renco Electronics

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company acquired Renco Electronics, a designer and manufacturer of customized standard magnetics components and products including transformers, inductors, chokes and coils for power and RF applications. Renco’s end markets and customer base in areas such as consumer and industrial applications are highly complementary to our existing business with the potential to further expand key account relationships and capitalize on cross selling opportunities between the two companies. Renco operates one manufacturing facility in Florida and is supported by contract manufacturers in Asia. Renco’s results are reported within our Electronics segment.

The Company paid $27.4 million in cash for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Renco Electronics. The preliminary purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a preliminary estimate of their fair values on the closing date. The Company commenced a formal valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities and have updated the preliminary intangible assets based on the final valuation results. Goodwill recorded from this transaction is attributable to Renco’s significant engineering and technical expertise in end markets supported by strong engineer-to-engineer relationships. In addition, Renco’s end markets and customer base in areas such as consumer and industrial are highly complementary to the Company’s existing business.

Intangible assets of $10.4 million consist primarily of $3.6 million for indefinite lived tradenames, and $6.8 million of customer relationships to be amortized over 12 years. The goodwill of $14.0 million created by the transaction is deductible for income tax purposes. Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon the finalization of the purchase price allocations. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments regarding expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocations of those cash flows to identifiable tangible and intangible assets, in determining the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s best estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into two lease arrangements and recorded right-of-use assets and short-term and long-term liabilities at inception. The Company signed a new lease agreement with a related party, an entity in which the Renco Electronics President is a shareholder, on July 15, 2020. The lease is for three years and is subject to renewal, at the Company’s option under similar terms and conditions. The Company recorded a fair value adjustment of $0.1 million in connection with this lease, which is included in other acquired assets in the table below.

The Company recorded right of use assets of $3.3 million, current lease liabilities of $1.8 million and non-current lease liabilities of $1.5 million, related to two operating leases in connection with the acquisition of Renco. Renco does not have material financing leases.

The components of the fair value of the Renco Electronics acquisition, including the final allocation of the purchase price at June 30, 2021, are as follows (in thousands):

|  | Preliminary Allocation September 30, 2020 |  |  | Adjustments |  |  | Final Allocation |

3. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Most of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation which represents the product or service being sold to the customer. Some contracts include multiple performance obligations such as a product and the related installation and/or extended warranty. Additionally, most of the Company’s contracts offer assurance type warranties in connection with the sale of a product to customers. Assurance type warranties provide a customer with assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. Assurance type warranties do not represent a separate performance obligation.

50

In general, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time control transfers to its customer based on predetermined shipping terms. Revenue is recognized over time under certain long-term contracts within the Engineering Technologies and Engraving groups for highly customized customer products that have no alternative use and in which the contract specifies the Company has a right to payment for its costs, plus a reasonable margin. For products manufactured over time, the transfer of control is measured pro rata, based upon current estimates of costs to complete such contracts. Losses on contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become determinable. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected on a cumulative basis in the period in which the basis for such revision becomes known.

Contract Balances

Contract assets represent sales recognized in excess of billings related to work completed but not yet shipped for which revenue is recognized over time. Contract assets are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets. Contract liabilities are customer deposits for which revenue has not been recognized. Current contract liabilities are recorded as accrued expenses.

51

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections results in billed receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

When consideration is received from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the goods and services are transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

The following table provides information about contract assets and liability balances as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

6. Goodwill

Goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than its carrying amount. The Company’s annual test for impairment is performed using a May 31st measurement date.

The Company has identified seven reporting units for impairment testing: Electronics, Engraving, Scientific, Engineering Technologies, Procon, Federal, and Hydraulics. The Specialty Solutions segment includes Procon, Federal and Hydraulics.

As quoted market prices are not available for the Company’s reporting units, the fair value of the reporting units is determined using a discounted cash flow model (income approach). This method uses various assumptions that are specific to each individual reporting unit in order to determine the fair value. In addition, the Company compares the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units to its overall market capitalization.

While the Company believes that estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, changes in assumptions could significantly affect valuations and result in impairments in the future. The most significant assumption involved in the Company’s determination of fair value is the cash flow projections of each reporting unit. If the estimates of future cash flows for each reporting unit may be insufficient to support the carrying value of the reporting units, the Company will reassess its conclusions related to fair value and the recoverability of goodwill.

In connection with the divestiture of Enginetics, the Company determined that, based on the net realizable value of the operations divested, the goodwill of the Engineering Technologies reporting unit was impaired. As such, the Company recognized $7.6 million in impairment charges during the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. As a result of the Enginetics divestiture, the Company completed an interim goodwill impairment assessment for its other reporting units in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. As a result of the assessment in the third quarter, the Company determined that there were no indications of impairment, therefore, no additional impairment charges were recorded.

In connection with the divestiture of the Refrigerated Solutions Group, the Company compared the fair value of each reporting unit, Master-Bilt and NorLake, to its carrying value as of March 31, 2020. This resulted in an asset impairment charge in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 of $7.7 million in discontinued operations, which represented the full amount of goodwill associated with both reporting units. In addition, due to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on projected operating results, cash flow, and market capitalization, the Company completed an interim goodwill impairment assessment for its remaining reporting units in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. As a result of the assessment in the third quarter, the Company determined that the fair value of its reporting units, with the exception of RSG, substantially exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, no additional impairment charges were recorded in connection with the third quarter 2020 assessment.

The Company completed its annual impairment testing as of May 31, in each of the last two fiscal years and determined that the fair value of each of its reporting units substantially exceeded each unit’s respective carrying value, therefore, no impairment charges were recorded in connection with the testing and assessment.

Bank Credit Agreements

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Facility”, or “facility”). This five-year Credit Facility expires in December 2023 and has a borrowing limit of $500 million, which can be increased by an amount of up to $250 million, in accordance with specified conditions contained in the agreement. The facility also includes a $10 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $35 million sublimit for letters of credit.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee on borrowed amounts as well as a commitment fee on unused amounts under the facility. The amount of the commitment fee depends upon both the undrawn amount remaining available under the facility and the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) ratio at the last day of each quarter. As our funded debt to EBITDA ratio increases, the commitment fee increases.

Funds borrowed under the facility may be used for the repayment of debt, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions (so long as certain conditions, including a specified funded debt to EBITDA leverage ratio is maintained), and other general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had the ability to borrow $245.2 million under the facility based on our current EBITDA. The facility contains customary representations, warranties and restrictive covenants, as well as specific financial covenants which the Company was compliant with as of June 30, 2021. The Company’s current financial covenants under the facility are as follows:

Interest Coverage Ratio - The Company is required to maintain a ratio of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, as Adjusted (“Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Agreement”), to interest expense for the trailing twelve months of at least 2.75:1. Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Agreement specifically excludes extraordinary and certain other defined items such as cash restructuring and acquisition-related charges up to the lower of $20 million or 10% of EBITDA. The facility also allows unlimited non-cash charges including purchase accounting and goodwill adjustments. At June 30, 2021, the Company’s Interest Coverage Ratio was 13.10:1.

Leverage Ratio - The Company’s ratio of funded debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA per the credit agreement, calculated as Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Agreement plus depreciation and amortization, may not exceed 3.5:1. Under certain circumstances in connection with a Material Acquisitions (as defined in the Facility), the Credit Agreement allows for the leverage ratio to go as high as 4.0:1 for a four-fiscal quarter period. At June 30, 2021 the Company’s Leverage Ratio was 1.31:1.

As of June 30, 2021, we had borrowings under our facility of $200.0 million and the effective rate of interest for outstanding borrowings under the facility was 2.59%. Our primary sources of cash for these requirements are cash flows from continuing operations and borrowings under the facility.

In connection with the acquisition of Renco, the company assumed $0.7 million of debt under the Paycheck Protection Program, within the United States Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. These borrowings were forgiven by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") in June 2021.

Other Long-Term Borrowings

At June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had standby letter of credit sub-facility outstanding, primarily for insurance and trade financing purposes of $6.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

9. Accrued LIABILITIES

10. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company’s effective swap agreements convert the base borrowing rate on $200 million of debt due under our revolving credit agreement from a variable rate equal to LIBOR to a weighted average fixed rate of 1.27% at June 30, 2021.

The fair value of the swaps recognized in accrued liabilities and in other comprehensive income (loss) at June 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows (in thousands):

Effective Date |  | Notional |  |  | Fixed |  | Maturity |  | Fair Value at June 30, |
|  | Amount |  |  | Interest Rate |  |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
May 24, 2017 |  |  | 25,000 |  |  | 1.88% |  | April 24, 2022 |  |  | (374 | ) |  |  | (815 | )

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | (3,096 | ) |  | $ | (6,667 | )

The Company reported no losses for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, as a result of hedge ineffectiveness. Future changes in these swap arrangements, including termination of the agreements, may result in a reclassification of any gain or loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to these instruments is being amortized into interest expense concurrent with the hedged exposure.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit the impact of currency fluctuations on certain anticipated foreign cash flows, such as sales to foreign customers and loan payments between subsidiaries. The Company enters into such contracts for hedging purposes only. The Company has designated certain of these currency contracts as hedges, and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with these contracts will be reported in net income. At June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had outstanding forward contracts related to hedges of intercompany loans with net losses of $1.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which approximate the unrealized gains or losses on the related loans. The contracts have maturity dates ranging from fiscal year 2022 to 2024, which correspond to the related intercompany loans. The notional amounts of these instruments, by currency in thousands, are as follows:

Currency |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
USD |  |  | 987 |  |  |  | 287 |

11. Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Among other things, the CARES Act allows a five-year carryback period for tax losses generated in 2019 through 2021. The June 30, 2021 tax provision includes benefits of $0.2 million and $0.8 million from tax losses in the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020, respectively, that the CARES Act allows to be carried back to the years ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015, when the U.S. federal income tax rate was 35%.

57

U.S. tax law allows a one-hundred percent dividend received deduction for foreign dividends and the Company has begun to bring back cash from foreign subsidiaries. However, the permanent reinvestment assertion must still be assessed and made regarding potential liabilities for foreign withholding taxes. As of June 30, 2021, we maintained the assessment that previously undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries no longer meet the requirements for indefinite reinvestment under applicable accounting guidance. Therefore, we recognized deferred tax liabilities of approximately $2.4 million that relate to withholding taxes on the current earnings of various foreign subsidiaries. It is expected deferred tax liabilities will continue to be recorded on current earnings in future periods from these subsidiaries. The Company maintains the permanent reinvestment assertion on earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable on the remaining undistributed earnings.

The components of income from continuing operations before income taxes are as follows (in thousands):

|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
U.S. Operations |  | $ | 4,997 |  |  | $ | 11,890 |  |  | $ | 6,794 |

Total |  | $ | 52,700 |  |  | $ | 54,074 |  |  | $ | 66,974 |

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of the enacted tax laws. The components of the provision for income taxes on continuing operations (in thousands) were as shown below:

|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Current: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

A reconciliation from the U.S. Federal income tax rate on continuing operations to the total tax provision is as follows:

|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Provision at statutory tax rate |  |  | 21.0 | % |  |  | 21.0 | % |  |  | 21.0 | %
State taxes |  |  | 1.4 | % |  |  | 1.1 | % |  |  | 0.5 | %

Effective income tax provision |  |  | 26.9 | % |  |  | 24.3 | % |  |  | 27.9 | %

Changes in the effective tax rates from period to period may be significant as they depend on many factors including, but not limited to, size of the Company’s income or loss and any one-time activities occurring during the period.

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was impacted by the following items: (i) a tax provision of $5.1 million due to the mix of income in various jurisdictions, (ii) a tax benefit of $1.0 million from our 2019 and 2020 tax losses that the CARES Act allows to be carried back to 2014 and 2015, when the U.S. federal income tax rate was 35%, (iii) a tax benefit of $0.8 million related to Federal R&D credits and Foreign Tax credits, (iv) a tax benefit of $1.7 million related to return to provision adjustments, and (v) tax expense of $1.2 million attributable to the divestiture of Enginetics Corporation during the year.

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by the following items: (i) a tax benefit of $1.2 million related to the Federal R&D credit, (ii) a tax provision of $1.4 million due to the mix of income in various jurisdictions, (iii) a tax benefit of $0.7 million related to the release of uncertain tax provision reserves, and (iv) a tax provision of $0.8 million related to GILTI.

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 was impacted by the following items: (i) a tax benefit related to the impact of the Sec. 965 toll tax of $0.8 million, (ii) a tax provision of $0.3 million related to the elimination of the performance based compensation exception for executive compensation under Sec. 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (iii) a tax provision related to expected foreign withholding taxes on cash repatriation of $2.1 million.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred income taxes are as follows (in thousands):

Net deferred tax asset (liability) |  | $ | (11,146 | ) |  | $ | (4,062 | )

The Company estimates the degree to which deferred tax assets, including net operating loss and credit carry forwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction and provides a valuation allowance for tax assets and loss carry forwards that it believes will more likely than not go unrealized. The valuation allowance at June 30, 2021 applies to federal capital loss, state loss, foreign loss, and state R&D credit carryforwards, which management has concluded that it is more likely than not that these tax benefits will not be realized. The increase (decrease) in the valuation allowance from the prior year was due to the current year activity in those same federal, state and foreign jurisdictions.

59

In addition, the sale of the Enginetics Corporation in the fiscal year generated a capital loss for tax purposes. As of June 30, 2021, the Company expects that it is more likely than not that this loss will not be realizable in future years. As such, the valuation allowance increased by $1.8 million. In addition, the Company decreased the valuation allowance by $5.1 million due to a return to provision adjustment on the RSG Group capital loss carryforward.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had gross state net operating loss ("NOL") and credit carry forwards of approximately $88.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively, which may be available to offset future state income tax liabilities and expire at various dates from 2021 through 2040. In addition, the Company had foreign NOL carry forwards of approximately $4.7 million, $3.7 million of which carry forward indefinitely and $1.0 million that carry forward for 10 years.

Under ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. Accordingly, we recorded an income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income of $0.4 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, for the shortfall of tax benefits related to equity compensation.

The total provision (benefit) for income taxes included in the consolidated financial statements was as follows (in thousands):

|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Continuing operations |  | $ | 14,157 |  |  | $ | 13,060 |  |  | $ | 18,688 |
Discontinued operations |  |  | (550 | ) |  |  | (2,613 | ) |  |  | (2,453 | )
Total provision |  | $ | 13,607 |  |  | $ | 10,447 |  |  | $ | 16,235 |

The tax benefit for discontinued operations relates mostly to the write-off of deferred tax liabilities from the sale of the RSG Group, and the sale of the assets of Master-Bilt.

The changes in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits during 2021, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Beginning Balance |  | $ | 9,286 |  |  | $ | 11,251 |  |  | $ | 3,003 |
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  | 5 |  |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 4 |
Additions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | 121 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 8,281 |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years |  |  | - |  |  |  | (1,641 | ) |  |  | (37 | )
Settlements |  |  | - |  |  |  | (328 | ) |  |  | - |
Ending Balance |  | $ | 9,412 |  |  | $ | 9,286 |  |  | $ | 11,251 |

At June 30, 2021, we had $9.4 million of non-current liabilities for uncertain tax positions. We are not able to provide a reasonable estimate of the timing of future payments related to these obligations. The Company increased its uncertain tax position during the year due to Canadian withholding tax exposures.

If the unrecognized tax benefits in the table above were recognized in a future period, $8.6 million of the unrecognized tax benefit would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

Within the next twelve months, the statute of limitations will close in various U.S., state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. As a result, it is reasonably expected that net unrecognized tax benefits from these various jurisdictions would be recognized within the next twelve months. The recognition of these tax benefits is expected to have an impact of $8.6 million to the Company's financial statements. The Company does not reasonably expect any other significant changes in the next twelve months. The following tax years, in the major tax jurisdictions noted, are open for assessment or refund:

Country |  | Years Ending June 30, |
United States |  | 2018 to 2021 |
Canada |  | 2017 to 2021 |
Germany |  | 2018 to 2021 |
Ireland |  | 2021 |
Portugal |  | 2020 to 2021 |
United Kingdom |  | 2017 to 2021 |

The Company’s policy is to include interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2021 and 2020, the company had $0.8 million and $0.1 million for accrued interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits.

12. CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings, including claims related to environmental remediation, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s management does not believe that the outcome of any of the currently existing legal matters will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. The Company accrues for losses related to a claim or litigation when the Company’s management considers a potential loss probable and can reasonably estimate such potential loss.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, a lawsuit was filed against Standex Electronics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Electronics”), by Miniature Precision Components, Inc., a customer (“MPC”), seeking damages in connection with allegedly faulty sensors designed and manufactured by Electronics. The subject sensors were incorporated by MPC into a subassembly sold by MPC to its customer, an automotive manufacturer. MPC alleges that the sensors incorrectly activated a diagnostic code in vehicles for which MPC’s customer issued a service bulletin, resulting in significant warranty costs for MPC. In the litigation, which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, MPC seeks indemnification from Electronics for its costs. Electronics has numerous defenses to MPC’s claims and, based upon discovery completed to date, the Company believes that liability to Electronics, while possible, is not probable, and the range of any potential liability would be between $0 and $4.0 million. There have been no accrued liabilities recorded related to this litigation.

13. stock-based compensation and purchase plans

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Under incentive compensation plans, the Company is authorized to make grants of stock options, restricted stock and performance share units to provide equity incentive compensation to key employees and directors. The stock award program offers employees and directors the opportunity to earn shares of our stock over time, rather than options that give the employees and directors the right to purchase stock at a set price. The Company has stock plans for directors, officers and certain key employees.

Total compensation cost recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for equity based compensation awards was $8.4 million, $7.0 million, and $4.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, primarily within Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for equity-based compensation plans was $1.8 million, $1.9 million, and $1.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

There were 208,971 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under various compensation plans at June 30, 2021.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company may award shares of restricted stock to eligible employees and non-employee directors of the Company at no cost, giving them, in most instances, all of the rights of stockholders, except that they may not sell, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber such shares and rights during the restriction period. Such shares and rights are subject to forfeiture if certain employment conditions are not met. During the restriction period, recipients of the shares are entitled to dividend equivalents on such shares, providing that such shares are not forfeited. Dividends are accumulated and paid out at the end of the restriction period. Restrictions on non-vested stock awards generally lapse between fiscal year 2022 and fiscal year 2024. $5.3 million, $4.2 million, and $3.7 million, respectively, was recognized as compensation expense related to restricted stock awards for fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019. Substantially all awards are expected to vest.

A summary of restricted stock awards activity during the year ended June 30, 2021 is as follows:

|  | Restricted Stock Awards |
|  | Number |  |  | Weighted |
|  | of |  |  | Average |
|  |  |  |  |  | Grant Date |
|  | Shares |  |  | Fair Value |

61

Restricted stock awards granted during fiscal years 2020 and 2019 had a weighted average grant date fair value of $71.38, and $102.74, respectively. The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of awards vested during fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $2.8 million, $2.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, there was $3.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to awards expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.38 years.

Executive Compensation Program

The Company operates a compensation program for key employees. The plan contains both an annual component as well as a long-term component. Under the annual component, participants may elect to defer up to 50% of their annual incentive compensation in restricted stock which is purchased at a discount to the market. Additionally, non-employee directors of the Company may defer a portion of their director’s fees in restricted stock units which is purchased at a discount to the market. During the restriction period, recipients of the shares are entitled to dividend equivalents on such units, providing that such shares are not forfeited.

Dividend equivalents are accumulated and paid out at the end of the restriction period. The restrictions on the units expire after three years. Restrictions on non-vested annual component awards generally lapse between fiscal year 2022 and fiscal year 2024. The compensation expense associated with this incentive program is charged to income over the restriction period. The Company recorded compensation expense related to this program of $0.4 million, $0.3 million, and $0.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, there was $0.4 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to awards expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

The fair value of the awards under the annual component of this incentive program is measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model are as follows:

|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Risk-free interest rates |  |  | 0.18 | % |  |  | 1.42 | % |  |  | 2.63 | %
Expected life of option grants (in years) |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 |
Expected volatility of underlying stock |  |  | 44.1 | % |  |  | 32.0 | % |  |  | 25.1 | %
Expected quarterly dividends (per share) |  | $ | 0.22 |  |  | $ | 0.20 |  |  | $ | 0.18 |

Under the long-term component, grants of performance share units (“PSUs”) are made annually to key employees and the share units are earned based on the achievement of certain overall corporate financial performance targets over the performance period. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of common stock issued will be determined by adjusting upward or downward from the target in a range between 50% and 200%. No shares will be issued if the minimum performance threshold is not achieved. The final performance percentage, on which the payout will be based considering the performance metrics established for the performance period, will be certified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

A participant’s right to any shares that are earned will cliff vest in three years. An executive whose employment terminates prior to the vesting of any award for a reason other than death, disability, retirement, or following a change in control, will forfeit the shares represented by that award. In certain circumstances, such as death, disability, or retirement, PSUs are paid on a pro-rata basis. In the event of a change in control, vesting of the awards granted is accelerated.

A summary of the awards activity under the executive compensation program during the year ended June 30, 2021 is as follows:

|  | Annual Component |  |  | Performance Stock Units |
|  |  |  |  |  | Weighted |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Weighted |

Restricted stock awards granted under the annual component of this program in fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019 had a weighted average grant date fair value of $43.16, $74.37, and $110.22, respectively. The PSUs granted in fiscal years 2020 and 2019 had a weighted average grant date fair value of $70.37, and $106.65, respectively. The grant date fair value of the PSUs is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of PSUs vested under the long-term component of this program during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $0.7 million, $0.8 million, and $0.7 million respectively.

The Company recognized compensation expense related to the PSUs of $2.6 million, $2.9 million, and $0.3 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively based on the probability of the performance targets being met. The total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested performance share units was $3.6 million at June 30, 2021, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan that allows employees to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at a discount from the market each quarter. The ESPP plan, which was effective as of July 1, 2005, provided employees the option to purchase Standex stock at a discount of 5%. The Plan was modified, effective as of April 1, 2017, to increase the stock purchase discount to 15% and is considered a compensatory Plan. Under this amendment, shares of Company stock may be purchased by employees quarterly at 85% of the fair market value on the last day of each quarter. The 15% discount is recorded as a component of SG&A in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Shares of stock reserved for the plan were 54,975 at June 30, 2021. Shares purchased under this plan aggregated to 7,509 in fiscal year 2021, 11,132 in 2020, and 7,698 in 2019, at an average price of $66.98, $52.57, and $65.63, respectively.

Our investment policy for the U.S. pension plans targets a range of exposure to the various asset classes. Standex rebalances the portfolio periodically when the allocation is not within the desired range of exposure. The plan seeks to provide returns in excess of the various benchmarks. The benchmarks include the following indices: S&P 500; Citigroup PMI EPAC; Citigroup World Government Bond and Barclays Aggregate Bond. A third-party investment consultant tracks the plan’s portfolio relative to the benchmarks and provides quarterly investment reviews which consist of a performance and risk assessment on all investment managers and on the portfolio.

Certain managers within the plan use, or have authorization to use, derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes, the creation of market exposures and management of country and asset allocation exposure. Currency speculation derivatives are strictly prohibited.

Year Ended June 30 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 |
Plan assumptions - obligations |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Discount rate | 0.73 - 3.00% | 0.99 - 2.90% | 0.24 - 3.70% |

Expected return on assets | 1.40 - 6.90% | 2.30 - 7.00% | 2.45 - 7.00% |
Rate of compensation increase | 2.90% | 3.20% | 3.60% |

Included in the above are the following assumptions relating to the obligations for defined benefit pension plans in the United States at June 30, 2021; a discount rate of 2.90% and expected return on assets of 6.9%. The U.S. defined benefit pension plans represent the majority of our pension obligations. The expected return on plan assets assumption is based on our expectation of the long-term average rate of return on assets in the pension funds and is reflective of the current and projected asset mix of the funds. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year. The discount rate is determined by matching our expected benefit payments from a stream of AA- or higher bonds available in the marketplace, adjusted to eliminate the effects of call provisions.

Expected benefit payments for all plans during the next five years are as follows: 2022, $18.2 million; 2023, $17.9 million; 2024, $17.8 million; 2025, $17.8 million; 2026, $17.6 million and five years thereafter, $86.2 million. The Company expects to make $1.6 million of contributions to its pension plans in 2022.

The Company operates defined benefit plans in Germany and Japan which are unfunded.

Multi-Employer Pension Plans

We contribute to two multiemployer defined benefit plans under the terms of collective bargaining agreements that cover our union-represented employees. These plans generally provide for retirement, death and/or termination benefits for eligible employees within the applicable collective bargaining units, based on specific eligibility/participation requirements, vesting periods and benefit formulas. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:

| ● | Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.

| ● | If a participating employer stops contributing to the multiemployer plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.

| ● | If we choose to stop participating in some of our multiemployer plans, we may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. However, cessation of participation in a multiemployer plan and subsequent payment of any withdrawal liability is subject to the collective bargaining process.

68

The following table outlines the Company’s participation in multiemployer pension plans for the periods ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, and sets forth the yearly contributions into each plan. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit plan number. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2021 and 2020 relates to the plans’ two most recent fiscal year-ends. The zone status is based on information that we received from the plans’ administrators and is certified by each plan’s actuary. Among other factors, plans certified in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans certified in the orange zone are both less than 80% funded and have an accumulated funding deficiency or are expected to have a deficiency in any of the next six plan years, plans certified in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded, and plans certified in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates whether a financial improvement plan (“FIP”) for yellow/orange zone plans, or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) for red zone plans, is either pending or has been implemented. For all plans, the Company’s contributions do not exceed 5% of the total contributions to the plan in the most recent year.

Retirement Savings Plans

The Company has two primary employee savings plans, one for salaried employees and one for hourly employees. Substantially all of our full-time domestic employees are covered by these savings plans. Under the provisions of the plans, employees may contribute a portion of their compensation within certain limitations. The Company, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, may make contributions on behalf of our employees under the plans. Company contributions were $2.9 million, $3.7 million, and $4.0 million for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2021, the salaried plan holds approximately 124,000 shares of Company common stock, representing approximately 3.9% of the holdings of the plan.

17. Industry Segment Information

The company has five reportable segments organized around the types of products sold:

• Electronics – manufacturing and selling of electronic components for applications throughout the end-user market spectrum;

• Engraving – provides mold texturizing, slush molding tools, project management and design services, roll engraving, hygiene product tooling, low observation vents for stealth aircraft, and process machinery for a number of industries;

• Scientific – specialty temperature-controlled equipment for the medical, scientific, pharmaceutical, biotech and industrial markets;

• Engineering Technologies – provides net and near net formed single-source customized solutions in the manufacture of engineered components for the aviation, aerospace, defense, energy, industrial, medical, marine, oil and gas, and manned and unmanned space markets.

• Specialty Solutions – an aggregation of three operating segments that manufacture and sell refrigerated, heated and dry merchandizing display cases, custom fluid pump solutions, and single and double acting telescopic and piston rod hydraulic cylinders.

Net sales include only transactions with unaffiliated customers and include no significant intersegment or export sales. Operating income by segment and geographic area excludes general corporate and interest expenses. Assets of the Corporate segment consist primarily of cash, office equipment, and other non-current assets.

69

Given the nature of our corporate expenses, management concluded that it would not presently be appropriate to allocate the expenses associated with corporate activities to our operating segments. These corporate expenses include the costs for the corporate headquarters, salaries and wages for the personnel in corporate, professional fees related to corporate matters and compliance efforts, stock-based compensation and post-retirement benefits related to our corporate executives, officers and directors, and other compliance related costs. The Company has a process to allocate and recharge certain direct costs to the operating segments when such direct costs are administered and paid at corporate. Such direct expenses that are recharged on an intercompany basis each month include such costs as insurance, workers’ compensation programs, and audit fees. The accounting policies applied by the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Accounting Policies footnote to the consolidated financial statements. There are no differences in accounting policies which would be necessary for an understanding of the reported segment information.

18. Divestitures

On March 31, 2021, the Company divested Enginetics Corporation (“Enginetics”), its jet engine components business, to Enjet Aero, LLC, a privately-held aerospace engine component manufacturing company. Enginetics generated approximately $9.0 million in revenue in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The business activities, which are reported within the Engineering Technologies Group, were divested in order to focus on the higher growth and margin opportunities of the Company's core spin forming solutions business that serves the space, commercial aviation and defense end markets. The Company received $11.7 million cash consideration and recorded a pre-tax loss on sale of the business of $14.6 million, including a goodwill impairment charge of $7.6 million, assigned to the entirety of the Engineering Technologies segment, and a $5.4 million write-down of intangible assets. The sale transaction and financial results of Enginetics are classified as continuing operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

19. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In pursuing our business strategy, the Company continues to divest certain businesses and record activities of these businesses as discontinued operations.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, in order to focus its financial assets and managerial resources on its remaining portfolio of businesses, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Refrigerated Solutions Group, consisting of the Master-Bilt and NorLake operating segments, to Ten Oaks Group for a cash purchase price of $10.6 million, subject to post-closing adjustments and various transaction fees. The Refrigerated Solutions Group was a part of the Company's Food Service Equipment segment, and manufactured refrigerated cabinets and walk-ins for customers food service and retail end markets.

The transaction closed on April 16, 2020 and resulted in a pre-tax loss of $20.0 million less related transaction expenses of $1.9 million. The Company reported a tax benefit related to the loss on sale of $2.6 million.

During the first quarter of 2019, in order to focus its financial assets and managerial resources on its remaining portfolio of businesses, the Company decided to divest its Cooking Solutions Group, which consisted of three operating segments and a minority interest investment. In connection with the divestiture, during the second quarter of 2019, the Company sold its minority interest investment to the majority shareholders. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the three operating segments to the Middleby Corporation for a cash purchase price of $105 million, subject to post-closing adjustments and various transaction fees. The transaction closed on March 31, 2019 and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $20.5 million less related transaction expenses of $4.4 million. The Company reported a tax benefit related to the sale due to the write-off of deferred tax liabilities related to the Cooking Solutions Group. A cash payment of $106.9 million was received on April 1, 2019. The proceeds received were subsequently used to pay down borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 13, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue recognition – Revenue recognized over time – Refer to note 3 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Revenue is recognized over time under certain long-term contracts within the Engineering Technologies and Engraving groups for highly customized customer products that have no alternative use and in which the contract specifies the Company has a right to payment for its costs, plus a reasonable margin. For products manufactured over time, the transfer of control is measured pro rata, based upon current estimates of costs to complete such contracts. Losses on contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become determinable. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected on a cumulative basis in the period in which the basis for such revision becomes known. For the year ended June 30, 2021, the revenue recognized over time was $37.2 million.

We identified revenue recognized over time as a critical audit matter because of the judgments and subjectivity involved in the determination of estimated costs to complete contracts. This required extensive audit effort and a high degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures to audit costs incurred to date and management’s estimates of margin at completion used to recognize revenue over time and evaluating the results of those procedures.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to management’s estimates of total costs and profit for the performance obligation used to recognize revenue for certain performance obligations accounted for over time included the following, among others:

| ● | We tested the effectiveness of controls for revenue recognized over time, including management’s controls over the estimates of total costs and profit for performance obligations.

| ● | We selected a sample of long-term contracts with customers for which the revenue is recognized over time and we performed the following:

| o | evaluated whether the contracts were properly included in management’s calculation of long-term contract revenue based on the terms and conditions of each contract, including whether continuous transfer of control to the customer occurred as progress was made toward fulfilling the performance obligation

| o | evaluated management’s ability to achieve the estimates of total costs and profit at completion by comparing the estimates to management’s work plans, engineering specifications, and supplier contracts, and performing corroborating inquiries with the Company’s project managers and engineers.

| o | tested the accuracy and completeness of the costs incurred to date for the performance obligation to supporting documentation

| o | tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculation of revenue for the contract.

| ● | We evaluated management’s ability to estimate total costs and profits accurately by comparing actual costs and profits to management’s historical estimates for performance obligations that have been fulfilled.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not Applicable

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

The management of the Company including its Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of June 30, 2021, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with management’s evaluation that occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year (ended June 30, 2021) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Standex is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 240.13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report on Form 10-K. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).” These criteria are in the areas of control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication and monitoring. Management’s assessment included documenting, evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Based on the Company’s processes, as described above, management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2021 to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives. These results were reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Deloitte & Touche, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an unqualified attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which is included below.

Inherent Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls

No matter how well designed, internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect all misstatements that might be due to error or fraud. In addition, a design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Standex International Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Standex International Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, of the Company and our report dated August 13, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

As described in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Renco Electronics Inc., which was acquired on July 16, 2020 and whose financial statements constitute 2.4% of total consolidated assets and 3.9% revenues of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Renco Electronics Inc.

Basis for Opinion

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
