PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
Our Company
American Woodmark Corporation (“American Woodmark,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was incorporated in 1980 by the four principal managers of the Boise Cascade Cabinet Division through a leveraged buyout of that division. We operated privately until 1986 when we became a public company through a registered public offering of common stock.
We manufacture and distribute kitchen, bath and home organization products for the remodeling and new home construction markets. Our products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers and builders and through a network of independent dealers and distributors. We presently operate 18 manufacturing facilities and eight primary service centers across the country and Mexico.
Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements, and all amendments to those reports are available free of charge on our website, americanwoodmark.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. The contents of our website are not, however, part of, or incorporated by reference into, this report.
Our Business
Our business offers made-to-order cabinetry in over 550 different cabinet lines, ranging in price from relatively inexpensive to medium-priced styles. These cabinets are offered in a broad range of sizes, construction and decorative options to achieve a wide array of design layouts. To satisfy the fashion and style needs of the market place we offer over 100 door designs with a targeted range of painted or stained finishes, or engineered finishes under the Duraform® mark; on fronts made in a variety of wood species, including maple, cherry and oak as well as engineered materials.
Additionally, we offer value-based assembled cabinet products for stock kitchen and bath, ready-to-assemble cabinetry for home organization, countertops and accessories. These lines are available in a more targeted finish and door style assortment, and include hundreds of products appropriate for home centers, builders, dealers and remodeling contractors.
Our products are sold under the brand names of American Woodmark®, Timberlake®, Shenandoah Cabinetry®, Waypoint Living Spaces®, Estate by RSI®, Continental Cabinets®, VillaBath by RSI®, Stor-It-All® and Professional Cabinet Solutions®. Products are also sold under key customer’s private label brands, such as Hampton Bay®, Glacier Bay®, Style Selections®, Allen + Roth®, Home Decorators Collection and Project Source.
Our Products
We offer a wide variety of products that fall into product lines including kitchen cabinetry, bath cabinetry, office cabinetry, home organization and hardware. Our cabinetry products are available in a variety of designs, finishes and finish colors and door styles.
We offer products in the following categories: made-to-order and stock. Stock products represent cash and carry products sold through home centers. Made-to-order products typically utilize higher grade materials with more options as compared to stock and are all special ordered and shipped directly to the home from the factory. Our home organization products are exclusively stock products. Our kitchen cabinetry and bath cabinetry are offered across all product categories (made-to-order and stock) and our office cabinetry is offered as stock. Our stock products are sold through home centers, while our made-to-order products are sold through home centers, builders and independent dealers and distributors.
Our Market
Our products are sold on a national basis across the United States to the remodeling and new home construction markets. We service these markets through three primary channels: home centers, builders, and independent dealers and distributors. We distribute our products to each market channel directly from our assembly plants and through a third party logistics network.
Our Customers
We serve three main categories of customers: home center customers, builders and independent dealers and distributors.
2

Home Center Customers
Contractors, builders, remodelers and do-it-yourself homeowners use our products primarily for repair and remodel (“R&R”) projects. Products for R&R projects are predominately purchased through home centers such as Home Depot and Lowe’s. Due to the market presence, store network and customer reach of these large home centers, our strategy has been to develop long-term strategic relationships with both Home Depot and Lowe’s to distribute our products. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”), Home Depot and Lowe’s combined accounted for approximately 46.5% of net sales of the Company. The loss of either Home Depot or Lowe’s as a customer would have a material adverse effect on us.
Builders
The builder business represents a large portion of our overall revenue and has historically been a strategic component of our go-to-market strategy. We serve the majority of the top U.S. builders with a high degree of geographic concentration around major metro areas where single family starts are most robust. We also serve multi-family builders, primarily in the Southern California metro area. Our various service center locations serve the function of being close to this business and enable us to deliver exceptional service to our builder partners. During fiscal 2020, builders accounted for approximately 40.5% of net sales of the Company.
Independent Dealers & Distributors
In 2010, we expanded our business into the dealer channel with the launch of the Waypoint Living Spaces® brand. Today, we sell this brand to over 1,300 regional and local dealers across the country. The dealer channel of the market is the largest by volume, characterized by a high degree of entrepreneurship and one that rewards suppliers that deliver great service. Our ability to provide superior value delivered with exceptional service has helped drive our expansion into this channel and will continue to be a strong growth and market share opportunity for us. Within our distributor channel we also sell our Timberlake® brand through a network of regional distributors who are focused on selling a complete variety of building materials to small and midsized builders and contractors within their local markets. During fiscal 2020, independent dealers and distributors accounted for approximately 13.0% of net sales of the Company.
Manufacturing, Distribution and Service
Our manufacturing facilities are strategically located to serve our customers, which enhances our ability to provide high quality, value priced products with low production costs. We manufacture our products across 18 facilities located in Maryland, Indiana, West Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Arizona, Kentucky, Virginia, California, Texas, North Carolina and Tijuana, Mexico. The geographic distribution of our facilities throughout the United States, together with our third party logistics network for the American Woodmark business and beneficial freight arrangement with home centers, enable us to provide a “short supply chain” to our U.S. customers. The ordering patterns of Home Depot and Lowe’s, our two biggest customers, require suppliers to have sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet demand and to serve a large number (frequently hundreds to thousands) of stores. They impose strict logistics and performance criteria on us. The scale and strategic locations of our manufacturing facilities help us to meet these demands of the home center customers, as well as provide a logistics platform that we can leverage for builders and dealers. We distribute our products through distribution centers located in some of our manufacturing facilities and other third party locations to maximize efficiency. Our vertically-integrated production and assembly lines, standardized product construction and investments in automation have allowed us to continuously improve productivity and develop an expertise in wood processing and yield-maximizing technologies. We have standardized our raw material inputs and a number of our production processes, which reduces logistical requirements to manufacture and gives us increased economies of scale in sourcing these inputs. Certain of our inputs are also partially processed by our vendors, which reduces cost. In addition, our production of labor-intensive manufacturing and fabrication processes in our three Tijuana, Mexico facilities have enabled us to keep overall labor costs low while maintaining higher quality, greater speed-to-market and transportation cost advantage over Asian manufacturers.
We provide complete turnkey installation services to our direct builder customers via our network of eight primary service centers that are strategically located throughout the United States in Virginia, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Arizona and California.
We regularly evaluate our organizational productivity and supply chains and assess opportunities to reduce costs and enhance quality. We strive to improve quality, speed and flexibility to meet changing and uncertain market conditions, as well as manage cost inflation, including wages and employee medical costs.

Raw Materials and Suppliers
The primary raw materials used in our products include hard maple, oak, cherry and beech lumber and plywood. Additional raw materials include paint, particleboard, medium density fiberboard, high density fiberboard, manufactured components and hardware. We purchase these and other raw materials from more than one source and generally believe them to be readily available. We rely on outside suppliers for some of our key components and do not typically enter into long-term contracts with our suppliers or sourcing partners. We source a portion of our components from third parties in Asia. The distances involved in these arrangements, together with the differences in business practices, shipping and delivery requirements, and laws and regulations add complexity to our supply chain logistics and increase the potential for interruptions in our production scheduling. In addition, prices and availability of these components may be affected by world market conditions and government policies and tariffs.
Competition
We operate in a highly fragmented industry that is composed of several thousand local, regional and national manufacturers. Most of our competitors compete on a local or regional basis, but others, like us, compete on a national basis as well. Our competitors include importers and large consolidated operations as well as relatively small, local cabinet manufacturers. Moreover, companies in other building products industries may compete with us. Competitive factors within the industry include pricing, quality, product availability, service, delivery time and relationships with customers. Our principal means for competition is our breadth and variety of product offerings, expanded service capabilities, geographic reach, competitive price points for our products and affordable quality. We are the second or third largest manufacturer of kitchen, bath and home organization products in the United States based on publicly available information now that one of the top three manufacturers is privately held.
Environmental Matters and Regulatory Matters
Our operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations relating to, among other things, the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of regulated materials into the environment. Permits are required for certain of our operations, and these permits are subject to revocation, modification and renewal by issuing authorities. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with their regulations, and violations may result in the payment of fines or the entry of injunctions, or both. We may also incur liability for investigation and clean-up of soil or groundwater contamination on or emanating from current or formerly owned and operated properties, or at offsite locations at which regulated materials are located where we are identified as a responsible party. Discovery of currently unknown conditions could require responses that could result in significant costs.
Intellectual Property
We maintain trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. We sell many of our products under a number of registered and unregistered trademarks, which we believe are widely recognized in our industry. We rely on trade secrets and confidentiality agreements to develop and maintain our competitive position. Monitoring the unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult, and the steps we have taken may not prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property. The disclosure or misappropriation of our intellectual property could harm our ability to protect our rights and our competitive position. If we must litigate to protect our rights, we may incur significant expenses and divert significant attention from our business operations. To date, we have not relied on patents in operating our business.
Seasonality
Our business has been subject to seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized in our first and fourth fiscal quarters, although sales were down in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and we expect sales to be down in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 due to the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic. General economic forces and changes in our customer mix have reduced seasonal fluctuations in revenue over the past few years. The costs of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations. The Company has generally been able over time to recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price increases.
Employees
As of April 30, 2020, we employed approximately 9,900 full-time employees, with approximately 210 unionized employees in Anaheim, California. We believe that our employee relations and relationship with the union representing the employees in Anaheim are good.

Our Competitive Strengths
Market Leader with Nationwide Manufacturing and Distribution Network
We believe our company holds the number two or three market position in the United States cabinet market with an estimated 10% market share based on publicly available information now that one of the top three manufacturers is privately held. We are one of a select number of market participants with a national manufacturing and distribution footprint, including 18 manufacturing facilities and eight primary service centers across the United States and Mexico. Our operating footprint provides us an ability to service our builder, dealer and home center customers on a national basis, and we offer a broad set of products to serve our customers across a variety of price points. Our facilities are primarily located in or near major metropolitan markets to facilitate efficient product distribution to our customers. We believe the scale and breadth of our operations differentiate us and result in a competitive advantage providing superior customer service, low-cost distribution and on-time delivery.
Comprehensive Product Offering with Diversified End Markets
We believe that the diversity of our product portfolio across categories, channels and end markets benefits our financial performance, both in periods of growth and cyclicality. Our made-to-order offerings provide products for customers looking for a designer product, which can be used for both new home construction and remodeling applications. The addition of the stock offering allows us to further serve our existing end markets through the addition of a lower price point product that is well-suited for areas of growing demand such as new home construction targeting the first-time homebuyer. We also offer turnkey cabinet solutions for our builder customers which we believe is a unique aspect of our service platform. Our turnkey solution provides in-house design and measurement as well as installation service. We believe the ability to leverage our labor and expertise is a value-added service to our builder customers which has helped strengthen our position in the new home construction market.
Deep Relationships with Leading Retailers
We have built strong and stable relationships with a base of long-standing, customers across home centers, builders and independent dealers and distributors. We have an average relationship length of 20 plus years with our top 10 customers, including long-standing relationships with Home Depot and Lowe’s. We believe our customers value our national manufacturing and distribution footprint, which allows us to meet demanding logistics and performance criteria. We believe our focus on providing exceptional customer service and a quality product at a competitive price have enabled us to establish ourselves as a vendor of choice.
Best-in-Class Manufacturing Capabilities
We operate 18 manufacturing facilities across the United States and Mexico. Our vertically-integrated production and assembly lines, standardized product construction and investments in automation, have allowed us to continuously improve productivity and efficiency. We have standardized our raw material inputs and a number of our production processes, which reduces logistical requirements and provides increased economies of scale in sourcing these inputs. Our labor-intensive manufacturing and fabrication processes in Mexico offer a low cost alternative to Asian manufacturers, while providing a quality product with lower transportation costs.
Experienced Management Team
We have assembled an executive team from leading organizations with a deep base of management experience within industrial manufacturing companies. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Cary Dunston, joined our team in 2006 and was named Chief Executive Officer in 2015 and elected Chairman in 2017. Mr. Dunston has a broad range of experience in manufacturing and supply chain management including the implementation of continuous improvement programs and lean manufacturing initiatives. Our team has identified and begun to execute on opportunities for operational improvement.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There are a number of risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. These risks and uncertainties could cause future results to differ from past performance or expected results, including results described in statements elsewhere in this report that constitute "forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or currently believed to be immaterial also may adversely impact the Company’s business. Should any risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. These risks and uncertainties, which the Company considers to be most relevant to specific business activities, include, but are not limited to, the following. Additional risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition
5

are discussed elsewhere in this report, including in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Seasonality,” and “Outlook for Fiscal 2021” and Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."
The global spread of COVID-19 has significantly impacted our business and is expected to cause further disruptions to our business, financial performance and operating results. The global spread of COVID-19 in recent months has negatively impacted the global and U.S. economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. The impact of this pandemic has also created significant uncertainty in the global and U.S. economy and has had, and is expected to continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, employees, suppliers, and customers. The duration and the magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be precisely estimated at this time, as they are affected by a number of rapidly changing factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and potential future pandemic outbreaks, we face significant risks including, but not limited to:

• | Decreases in consumer sentiment, single family housing starts and disposable income and increases in unemployment could reduce demand for our products by our customers in all of our market channels.

• | Tightening credit standards could negatively impact credit availability to consumers which could have an adverse effect on all of our market channels.

• | Supply chain and shipping interruptions and constraints, volatility in demand for our products caused by sudden and significant changes in production levels by our suppliers or other restrictions affecting our business could adversely impact our planning and forecasting, our revenues and our operations.

• | Disruptions in our manufacturing and supply arrangements caused by the loss or disruption of essential manufacturing and supply elements such as raw materials or other product components, transportation, work force, or other manufacturing and distribution capabilities, like the temporary suspension of our Mexican operations in April 2020, could result in our inability to meet our customer needs and achieve cost targets.

• | Significant changes in the conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell or distribute our products, including additional or expanded quarantines or "stay at home" orders, governmental or regulatory actions, closures or other restrictions that further limit or close our operating and manufacturing facilities, restrict our employees’ ability to travel or perform necessary business functions, restrict or prevent consumers from having access to our products, or otherwise prevent our suppliers or customers from sufficiently staffing operations, could adversely impact operations necessary for the production, distribution, sale, and support of our products.

• | Certain of our customers may experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy or insolvency, as a result of the impact of COVID-19. If any of our customers suffer significant financial difficulties, they may be unable to pay amounts due to us timely or at all. If we are unable to collect our accounts receivable as they come due, there may be a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

• | If the Company is unable to continue to operate all of its facilities, our cash flows could be adversely affected, making it difficult to maintain adequate liquidity or meet debt covenants. As a result, the Company may be required to pursue additional sources of financing to meet our financial obligations and fund our operations and obtaining such financing with terms acceptable to the Company is not guaranteed and is largely dependent upon market conditions and other factors.

• | Disruptions to our operations related to COVID-19 as a result of absenteeism by infected or ill employees, or absenteeism by employees who elect not to come to work due to the illness affecting others at our facilities, or due to quarantines.

• | The COVID-19 pandemic has led to and could continue to lead to severe disruption and volatility in the United States and global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. In addition, trading prices in the public equity markets, including prices of our common stock, have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

• | Sustained adverse impacts to the Company, certain suppliers, and customers may also affect the Company’s future valuation of certain assets and therefore may increase the likelihood of an impairment charge, write-off, or reserve associated with such assets, including goodwill, long-lived intangible assets, property and equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, tax assets and other assets.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted and is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the length of its impact on the global and U.S. economy, as well as any new information that may emerge concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken to contain it or mitigate its impact. The continued impact on our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (directly or indirectly) could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, prospects and the trading prices of our securities in the near-term and beyond fiscal 2021.
Because of the concentration of our sales to our two largest customers, the loss of either customer or a significant reduction in orders from either customer could adversely affect our financial results. Home Depot and Lowe’s collectively accounted for approximately 46.5% of total net sales during the fiscal year 2020. We do not typically enter into long-term sales contracts with
6

Home Depot or Lowe’s and our sales usually occur on a “purchase order” basis. Our customers can make significant changes in their purchase volumes and can seek to significantly affect the prices we receive for our products and services and the other terms and conditions on which we do business. They have discontinued, and may in the future choose to discontinue, purchasing some or all of our products with little or no notice. In the past, purchase volumes from our customers, including Home Depot and Lowe’s, have fluctuated substantially, and we expect such fluctuations to occur from time to time in the future. Any reduction in, or termination of, our sales to either Home Depot or Lowe’s could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition, the potential for orders from these large retail customers to increase significantly from time to time requires us to have sufficient manufacturing capacity. These large retailers also impose strict logistics and performance criteria. Failure to comply with these obligations may result in these customers reducing or stopping their purchase of our products.
We could also experience delays or defaults in payment from Home Depot or Lowe’s, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The loss of a substantial portion of our order volumes or revenue from either Home Depot or Lowe’s for any reason would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our business primarily relies on U.S. home improvement, repair and remodel and new home construction activity levels, all of which are impacted by risks associated with fluctuations in the housing market. Downward changes in the general economy, the housing market or other business conditions could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Our business primarily relies on home improvement, repair and remodel and new home construction activity levels in the United States. The housing market is sensitive to changes in economic conditions and other factors, such as the level of employment, access to labor, consumer confidence, consumer income, availability of financing and interest rate levels. Adverse changes in any of these conditions generally, or in any of the markets where we operate, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic, could decrease demand and could adversely impact our businesses by: causing consumers to delay or decrease homeownership; making consumers more price conscious resulting in a shift in demand to smaller, less expensive homes; making consumers more reluctant to make investments in their existing homes, including large kitchen and bath repair and remodel projects; or making it more difficult to secure loans for major renovations.
Prolonged economic downturns may adversely impact our sales, earnings and liquidity. Our industry historically has been cyclical in nature and has fluctuated with economic cycles. During economic downturns, our industry could experience longer periods of recession and greater declines than the general economy. We believe that our industry is significantly influenced by economic conditions generally and particularly by housing activity, consumer confidence, the level of personal discretionary spending, demographics and credit availability. These factors may affect not only the ultimate consumer of our products, but also may impact home centers, builders and our other primary customers. As a result, a worsening of economic conditions, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect our sales and earnings as well as our cash flow and liquidity.
The U.S. cabinetry industry is highly competitive, and market share losses could occur. We operate within the highly competitive U.S. cabinetry industry, which is characterized by competition from a number of other manufacturers. Competition is further intensified during economic downturns. We compete with numerous large national and regional home products companies for, among other things, customers, orders from Home Depot and Lowe’s, raw materials and skilled management and labor resources. Purchase volumes from our main home center customers have fluctuated substantially from time to time in the past, and we expect such fluctuations to occur from time to time in the future.
Some of our competitors may have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do and, therefore, may be able to adapt to changes in customer preferences more quickly, devote more resources to the marketing and sale of their products, generate greater national brand recognition or adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can. In addition, some of our competitors may resort to price competition to sustain or gain market share and manufacturing capacity utilization, and we may have to adjust the prices on some of our products to stay competitive, which could reduce our revenues.
We also face competition with respect to some of our products from competitors in countries with lower regulatory, safety, environmental and other costs, such as China, Vietnam and Malaysia. These competitors may also benefit from certain local government subsidies or other incentives that are not available to us.
We may not ultimately succeed in competing with other manufacturers and distributors in our market, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our failure to develop new products or respond to changing consumer preferences and purchasing practices could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. The U.S. cabinetry industry is subject to changing consumer trends, demands and preferences. The uncertainties associated with developing and introducing new products,
7

such as gauging changing consumer preferences and successfully developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling new products, could lead to, among other things, rejection of a new product line, reduced demand and price reductions for our products. If our products do not keep up with consumer trends, demands and preference, we could lose market share, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Changes to consumer shopping habits and potential trends toward “online” purchases could also impact our ability to compete. Further, the volatile and challenging economic environment of recent years has caused shifts in consumer trends, demands, preferences and purchasing practices and changes in the business models and strategies of our customers. Shifts in consumer preferences, which may or may not be long-term, have altered the quantity, type and prices of products demanded by the end-consumer and our customers. If we do not timely and effectively identify and respond to these changing consumer preferences and purchasing practices, our relationships with our customers could be harmed, the demand for our products could be reduced and our market share could be negatively affected.
We may fail to fully realize the anticipated benefits of our growth strategy within the dealer, multi-family and homebuilder channels. Part of our growth strategy depends on expanding our business in the dealer, multi-family and homebuilder channels. We may fail to compete successfully against other companies that are already established providers within the dealer and homebuilder channels. Demand for our products within the homebuilder and dealer channels may not grow, or might even decline. In addition, we may not accurately gauge consumer preferences and successfully develop, manufacture and market our products at a national level. Further, the implementation of our growth strategy may place additional demands on our administrative, operational and financial resources and may divert management’s attention away from our existing business and increase the demands on our financial systems and controls. If our management is unable to effectively manage growth, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. If our growth strategy is not successful then our revenue and earnings may not grow as anticipated or may decline, we may not be profitable, or our reputation and brand may be damaged. In addition, we may change our financial strategy or other components of our overall business strategy if we believe our current strategy is not effective, if our business or markets change, or for other reasons, which may cause fluctuations in our financial results.
Manufacturing expansion to add capacity, manufacturing realignments, and other cost savings programs could result in a decrease in our near-term earnings. We continually review our manufacturing operations. These reviews could result in the expansion of capacity, manufacturing realignments and various cost savings programs, such as our closure of the Humboldt, Tennessee manufacturing plant announced in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. See Note S -- Subsequent Events for further information. Effects of manufacturing expansion, realignments or cost savings programs could result in a decrease in our short-term earnings until the additional capacity is in place, cost reductions are achieved and/or production volumes stabilize. Such manufacturing expansions, realignments and programs involve substantial planning, often require capital investments, and may result in charges for fixed asset impairments or obsolescence and substantial severance costs. We also cannot assure you that we will achieve all of the intended cost savings. Our ability to achieve cost savings and other benefits within expected time frames is subject to many estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive, and other uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. If these estimates and assumptions are incorrect, if we experience delays, or if other unforeseen events occur, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, downturns in the economy could potentially have a larger impact on the Company as a result of any added capacity.
We manufacture our products internationally and are exposed to risks associated with doing business globally. We manufacture our products in the United States and Mexico and sell our products in the United States and Canada. Accordingly, we are subject to risks associated with potential disruption caused by changes in political, monetary, economic and social environments, including civil and political unrest, terrorism, possible expropriation, local labor conditions, changes in laws, regulations and policies of foreign governments and trade disputes with the United States (including tariffs), and compliance with U.S. laws affecting activities of U.S. companies abroad, including tax laws, economic sanctions and enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights.
We are also subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-bribery laws. While we have implemented safeguards and policies to discourage these practices by our employees and agents, our existing safeguards and policies to assure compliance and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective and our employees or agents may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. If employees violate our policies, we may be subject to regulatory sanctions. Violations of these laws or regulations could result in sanctions including fines, debarment from export privileges and penalties and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We may hedge certain foreign currency transactions in the future; however, a change in the value of the currencies may impact our financial statements when translated into U.S. dollars. In addition, fluctuations in currency can adversely impact the cost position in local currency of our products, making it more difficult for us to compete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage our business through the impact of these potential changes.
8

In addition, we source raw materials and components from Asia where we have recently experienced higher manufacturing costs and longer lead times due to currency fluctuations, higher wage rates, labor shortages and higher raw material costs. Our international operations and sourcing of materials (including from Asia and Mexico) could be harmed by a variety of factors including:

• | introduction of non-native invasive organisms into new environments;

• | recessionary trends in international markets;

• | legal and regulatory changes and the burdens and costs of our compliance with a variety of laws, including export controls, import and customs trade restrictions, tariffs and regulations related to the COVID-19 pandemic such as the temporary suspension of our operations in Mexico in April 2020;

• | increases in transportation costs or transportation delays;

• | work stoppages and labor strikes;

• | fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies; and

• | political unrest, terrorism and economic instability.

If any of these or other factors were to render the conduct of our business in a particular country undesirable or impractical, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We may record future goodwill impairment charges or other asset impairment charges which could negatively impact our future results of operations and financial condition. We have recorded significant goodwill as a result of the acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. (the “RSI Acquisition”), and goodwill and other acquired intangible assets represent a substantial portion of our assets. We also have long-lived assets consisting of property and equipment and other identifiable intangible assets which we review both on an annual basis as well as when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If a determination is made that a significant impairment in value of goodwill, other intangible assets or long-lived assets has occurred, such determination could require us to impair a substantial portion of our assets. Asset impairments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See Note B -- Acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. for further details.
Fluctuating raw material and energy costs could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We purchase various raw materials, including, among others, wood, wood-based and resin products, which are subject to price fluctuations that could materially increase our manufacturing costs. Further, increases in energy costs increase our production costs and also the cost to transport our products, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, some of our suppliers have consolidated and other suppliers may do so in the future. Combined with increased demand, such consolidation could increase the price of our supplies and raw materials.
We also may be unwilling or unable to pass on to customers commensurate cost increases. Competitive considerations and customer resistance to price increases may delay or make us unable to adjust selling prices. To the extent we are unable to either re-engineer or otherwise offset increased costs or are unwilling or unable to build price increases into our sales prices, our margins will be negatively affected. Even if we are able to increase our selling prices, sustained price increases for our products may lead to sales declines and loss of market share, particularly if our competitors do not increase their prices. Conversely, when raw materials or energy prices decline, we may receive customer pressure to reduce our sales prices.
These prices are market-based and fluctuate based on factors beyond our control. We do not have long-term fixed supply agreements and do not hedge against price fluctuations. We, therefore, cannot predict our raw materials costs for the coming year.
The inability to obtain raw materials from suppliers in a timely manner would adversely affect our ability to manufacture and market our products. Our ability to offer a wide variety of products depends on our ability to obtain an adequate supply of components from manufacturers and other suppliers, particularly wood-based and resin products. Failure by our suppliers to provide us with quality products on commercially reasonable terms, and to comply with legal requirements for business practices, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, we rely heavily or, in certain cases, exclusively, on outside suppliers for some of our key components. While we do not rely exclusively on any one supplier for any particular raw materials, the loss of a major supplier could increase our costs to obtain raw materials until we obtain an adequate alternative source.
We typically do not enter into long-term contracts with our suppliers or sourcing partners. Instead, most raw materials and sourced goods are obtained on a “purchase order” basis. Although these components are generally obtainable in sufficient quantities from other sources, resourcing them from another supplier could take time. Financial, operating, or other difficulties encountered by our suppliers or sourcing partners or changes in our relationships with them could result in manufacturing or sourcing interruptions, delays and inefficiencies, and prevent us from manufacturing enough products to meet customer demands. As an example, in fiscal 2020, we experienced several of the adverse impacts set forth above related to a particleboard supplier as more fully described
9

in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - “Particleboard Supply” herein.
Our operations may be adversely affected by information systems interruptions or intrusions. We rely on a number of information technology systems to process, transmit, store and manage information to support our business activities. Increased global cybersecurity vulnerabilities, threats and more sophisticated and targeted attacks pose a risk to our information technology systems. We have established security policies, processes and layers of defense designed to help identify and protect against intentional and unintentional misappropriation or corruption of our systems and information and disruption of our operations. Despite these efforts, systems may be damaged, disrupted, or shut down due to attacks by unauthorized access, malicious software, undetected intrusion, hardware failures, or other events, and in these circumstances our disaster recovery planning may be ineffective or inadequate. These breaches or intrusions could lead to business interruption, exposure of proprietary or confidential information, data corruption, damage to our reputation, exposure to litigation and increased operational costs. Such events could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, we could be adversely affected if any of our significant customers or suppliers experience any similar events that disrupt their business operations or damage their reputation.
Increased compliance costs or liabilities associated with environmental regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our facilities are subject to numerous environmental laws, regulations and permits, including those governing emissions to air, discharges to water, storage, treatment and disposal of waste, remediation of contaminated sites and protection of worker health and safety. We may not be in complete compliance with these laws, regulations or permits at all times. Our efforts to comply with environmental requirements do not remove the risk that we may incur material liabilities, fines or penalties for, among other things, releases of regulated materials occurring on or emanating from current or formerly owned or operated properties or any associated offsite disposal location, or for contamination discovered at any of our properties from activities conducted by previous occupants. Liability for environmental contamination or a release of hazardous materials may be joint and several, so that we may be held responsible for more than our share of the contamination or other damages, or even for the entire share.
Changes in environmental laws and regulations or the discovery of previously unknown contamination or other liabilities relating to our properties and operations could result in significant environmental liabilities that could impact our business, financial condition or results of operation. In addition, we may incur capital and other costs to comply with increasingly stringent environmental laws and enforcement policies. These laws, including, for example, the regulations relating to formaldehyde emissions promulgated by the California Air Resources Board, require us to rely on compliance by our suppliers of raw materials. Should a supplier fail to comply with such regulations, notify us of non-compliance, or provide us with a product that does not comply, we could be subject to disruption in our business and incur substantial liabilities.
Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information provided to us by customers, employees or third parties could harm our business. We rely on the internet and other electronic methods to transmit confidential information and store confidential information on our networks. If there were a disclosure of confidential information provided by, or concerning, our employees, customers or other third parties, including through inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination, or unauthorized access, our reputation could be harmed and we could be subject to civil or criminal liability and regulatory actions.
Changes in government and industry regulatory standards could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Government regulations pertaining to health and safety and environmental concerns continue to emerge, domestically as well as internationally, including regulations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These regulations include the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and other worker safety regulations for the protection of employees, as well as regulations for the protection of consumers. It is necessary for us to comply with current requirements (including requirements that do not become effective until a future date), and even more stringent requirements could be imposed on our products or processes. Compliance with these regulations may require us to alter our manufacturing and installation processes and our sourcing. For example, our manufacturing locations enhanced cleaning processes, established health screening procedures, modified work centers and material flows with established social distancing practices in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in accordance with guidelines provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as local and state health departments. Such actions could increase our capital expenditures and adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations, and our inability to effectively and timely meet such regulations could adversely impact our competitive position.
The loss of certain members of our management may have an adverse effect on our operating results. Our success will depend, in part, on the efforts of our senior management and other key employees. These individuals possess sales, marketing, engineering, manufacturing, financial and administrative skills and know-how that are critical to the operation of our business. If we lose or suffer an extended interruption in the services of one or more of our senior officers or other key employees, our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected. Moreover, the pool of qualified individuals may be highly competitive and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel to replace or succeed members of our senior management or other
10

key employees, should the need arise. The loss of the services of any key personnel, or our inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills, could impair our ability to develop new products or enhance existing products, sell products to our customers or manage our business effectively.
We could continue to pursue growth opportunities through either acquisitions, mergers or internally developed projects, which may be unsuccessful or may adversely affect future financial condition and operating results. We could continue to pursue opportunities for growth through either acquisitions, mergers or internally developed projects as part of our growth strategy. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in integrating an acquired business or that an internally developed project will perform at the levels we anticipate. We may pay for future acquisitions using cash, stock, the assumption of debt, or a combination of these. Future acquisitions could result in dilution to existing shareholders and to earnings per share. In addition, we may fail to identify significant liabilities or risks associated with a given acquisition that could adversely affect our future financial condition and operating results or result in us paying more for the acquired business or assets than they are worth.
Our ability to operate and our growth potential could be materially and adversely affected if we cannot employ, train and retain qualified personnel at a competitive cost. Many of the products that we manufacture and assemble require manual processes in plant environments. We believe that our success depends upon our ability to attract, employ, train and retain qualified personnel with the ability to design, manufacture and assemble these products. In addition, our ability to expand our operations depends in part on our ability to increase our skilled labor force as the housing market continues to recover in the United States. A significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our qualified labor force, increases in the wage rates that we must pay, or both. In addition, we believe that our success depends in part on our ability to quickly and effectively train additional workforce to handle the increased volume and production while minimizing labor inefficiencies and maintaining product quality in a housing market recovery. If either of these events were to occur, our cost structure could increase, our margins could decrease, and any growth potential could be impaired.
Our failure to maintain acceptable quality standards could result in significant unexpected costs. Any failure to maintain acceptable quality standards could require us to recall or redesign such products, or pay substantial damages, any of which would result in significant unexpected costs. We may also have difficulty controlling the quality of products or components sourced from other manufacturers, so we are exposed to risks relating to the quality of such products and to limitations on our recourse against such suppliers. Further, any claim or product recall could result in adverse publicity against us, which could decrease our credibility, harm our reputation, adversely affect our sales, or increase our costs. Defects in our products could also result in decreased orders or sales to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Future tax law changes or the interpretation of existing tax laws may materially impact our effective income tax rate and the resolution of unrecognized tax benefits. Our businesses are subject to taxation in the United States as well as internationally. Tax legislation may be enacted that could have a material adverse impact on our worldwide income tax provision. Tax authorities in many jurisdictions routinely audit us. Because there are significant uncertainties in the outcome of such audits, the ultimate outcome from any audit could be materially different from amounts reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals. Future settlements of income tax audits may have a material adverse effect on earnings between the period of initial recognition of tax estimates in our financial statements and the point of ultimate tax audit settlement.
Natural disasters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Many of our facilities are located in regions that are vulnerable to natural disasters and other risks, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, tropical storms, hurricanes and snow and ice, which at times have disrupted the local economy and posed physical risks to our property. In addition, the continued threat of terrorism and heightened security and military action in response to this threat, or any future acts of terrorism, may cause further disruptions to the economies of the United States and other countries. Our redundant, multiple site capacity may not be sufficient in the event of a natural disaster, terrorist act or other catastrophic event. Such disruptions could, among other things, disrupt our manufacturing or distribution facilities and result in delays or cancellations of customer orders for our products, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, if a natural disaster occurs in a region from which we derive a significant portion of our revenue, end-user customers in that region may delay or forego purchases of our products, which may materially and adversely impact our operating results for a particular period.
Our ability to grow and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available to us or not available on terms favorable to us. The ability of our business to grow and compete depends on the availability of adequate capital, which in turn depends in large part on our cash flow from operations and the availability of equity and debt financing. We cannot assure you that our cash flow from operations will be sufficient or that we will be able to obtain equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, if at all, to implement our growth strategy. As a result, we cannot assure you that adequate capital will be available to finance our current growth plans, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.
11

Certain of our customers have been expanding and may continue to expand through consolidation and internal growth, which may increase their buying power, which could materially and adversely affect our sales, results of operations and financial position. Certain of our customers are large companies with significant buying power. In addition, potential further consolidation in the distribution channels could enhance the ability of certain of our customers to seek more favorable terms, including pricing, for the products that they purchase from us. Accordingly, our ability to maintain or raise prices in the future may be limited, including during periods of raw material and other cost increases. If we are forced to reduce prices or to maintain prices during periods of increased costs, or if we lose customers because of pricing or other methods of competition, our sales, operating results and financial position may be materially and adversely affected.
Our level and terms of indebtedness could adversely affect our business and liquidity position. Our consolidated indebtedness level could have important consequences to us, including, among other things, increasing our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions; requiring a portion of our cash flow used in operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our liquidity and our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities; exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates, and corresponding increased interest expense, because borrowings under our credit facilities are at variable rates of interest; reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, due to the costs and expenses associated with such debt; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions, and general corporate or other purposes; and limiting our ability to adjust to changing marketplace conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who may have less debt.
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations, which could cause us to default on our debt obligations and impair our liquidity. In the event of a default under any of our indebtedness, the holders of the defaulted debt could elect to declare all the funds borrowed to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, which in turn could result in cross-defaults under our other indebtedness. The lenders under our credit facilities could also elect to terminate their commitments thereunder and cease making further loans, and such lenders could institute foreclosure proceedings against their collateral, all of which could adversely affect our financial condition in a material way.
The credit agreement that governs our credit facility and the indenture that governs our senior notes impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities or otherwise negatively impact our business. The credit agreement that governs our credit facility and the indenture that governs our senior notes impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers, consolidations and certain other fundamental changes; dispose of assets; make advances, investments and loans; engage in sale and leaseback transactions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into contractual arrangements that encumber or restrict the ability to (A) (i) pay dividends or make distributions, (ii) pay indebtedness, (iii) make loans or advances or (iv) sell, lease or transfer property, in each case to us and our subsidiaries, or (B) incur liens; pay dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of capital stock or subordinated debt; repurchase or retire capital stock, warrants or options or subordinated debt; and amend the terms of documents governing, or make payments prior to the scheduled maturity of, certain other indebtedness.
As a result of these restrictions, each of which is subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, we will be limited as to how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with these existing covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants.
Our failure to comply with the restrictive covenants described above as well as other terms of our indebtedness and/or the terms of any future indebtedness from time to time could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in our being required to repay these borrowings before their due date. If we are forced to refinance these borrowings on less favorable terms or cannot refinance these borrowings, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

Item 2. PROPERTIES
We own our Corporate Office located in Winchester, Virginia. In addition, we lease eight manufacturing facilities and one manufacturing facility/service center in the United States and Mexico and own nine manufacturing facilities located primarily in the eastern and southern United States. We also lease seven primary service centers, 12 satellite service centers and four additional offices located throughout the United States that support the sale and distribution of products to each market channel. We consider our properties suitable for our business and adequate for our needs and believe that, if necessary, we could find additional and/or replacement facilities to lease without suffering a material adverse effect on our business.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including, without limitation, product liability and general liability claims and claims pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such claims may result in a loss. As required by ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies” ("ASC 450"), the Company categorizes the various suits and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible and those that are deemed to be remote. The Company accounts for these loss contingencies in accordance with ASC 450. Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible, a range of loss estimate is determined and considered for disclosure. In determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of similar claims and consults with independent counsel.
The Company believes that the aggregate range of estimated loss stemming from the various suits and asserted and unasserted claims which were deemed to be either probable or reasonably possible was not material as of April 30, 2020.
Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
None.

Forward-looking statements contained in this report, including elsewhere in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are based on current expectations and our actual results may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company participates in an industry that is subject to rapidly changing conditions and there are numerous factors that could cause the Company to experience a decline in sales and/or earnings or deterioration in financial condition. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements made in this report include but are not limited to:

• | the impact of COVID-19 on our business, the global and U.S. economy and our customers and suppliers;

• | the loss of or a reduction in business from one or more of our key customers;

• | negative developments in the macro-economic factors that impact our performance such as the U.S. housing market, general economy, unemployment rates and consumer sentiment and the impact of such developments on our and our customers’ business, operations and access to financing;

• | competition from other manufacturers and the impact of such competition on pricing and promotional levels;

• | an inability to develop new products or respond to changing consumer preferences and purchasing practices;

• | a failure to effectively manage manufacturing operations, alignment and capacity or an inability to maintain the quality of our products;

• | the impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets or our long-lived assets;

• | an inability to obtain raw materials in a timely manner or fluctuations in raw material and energy costs;

• | information systems interruptions or intrusions or the unauthorized release of confidential information concerning customers, employees or other third parties;

• | the cost of compliance with, or liabilities related to, environmental or other governmental regulations or changes in governmental or industry regulatory standards, especially with respect to health and safety and the environment;

17

• | a failure to attract and retain certain members of management or other key employees or other negative labor developments, including increases in the cost of labor;

• | risks associated with the implementation of our growth strategy;

• | risks related to sourcing and selling products internationally and doing business globally, including the imposition of tariffs or duties on those products;

• | unexpected costs resulting from a failure to maintain acceptable quality standards;

• | changes in tax laws or the interpretations of existing tax laws;

• | the occurrence of significant natural disasters, including earthquakes, fires, floods, and hurricanes or tropical storms;

• | the unavailability of adequate capital for our business to grow and compete;

• | increased buying power of large customers and the impact on our ability to maintain or raise prices;

• | our ability to successfully integrate RSI into our business and operations and the risk that the anticipated economic benefits, costs savings and other synergies in connection with the RSI Acquisition are not fully realized or take longer to realize than expected; and

• | limitations on operating our business as a result of covenant restrictions under our indebtedness, and our ability to pay amounts due under our credit facilities, our senior notes and our other indebtedness.

Additional information concerning the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements is contained in this annual report, including elsewhere in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and under Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” and Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” While the Company believes that these risks are manageable and will not adversely impact the long-term performance of the Company, these risks could, under certain circumstances, have a material adverse impact on its operating results and financial condition.
Any forward-looking statement that the Company makes speaks only as of the date of this annual report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or cautionary factors, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Overview
American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen, bath and home organization products for the remodeling and new home construction markets. Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers and builders and through a network of independent dealers and distributors. At April 30, 2020, the Company operated 18 manufacturing facilities in the United States and Mexico and eight primary service centers located throughout the United States.
On December 29, 2017, we completed the acquisition of RSI, a leading manufacturer of kitchen, bath and home organization products. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated results include 12 months of RSI activity and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, only includes four months of RSI activity.
COVID-19
The pandemic caused by COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has since spread throughout the world. Financial markets have been volatile in 2020, primarily due to uncertainty with respect to the severity and duration of the pandemic.
The pandemic has resulted in federal, state and local governments around the world implementing increasingly stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions or bans, business curtailments, school closures, and other protective measures.
All of our manufacturing facilities currently qualify as essential operations (or the equivalent) under applicable federal and state orders. Operations in our component plants in Mexico were temporarily suspended for a period of time in April 2020, however, all of our manufacturing facilities and service centers are currently open and operating. We are enforcing social distancing and enhanced health, safety and sanitization measures in accordance with guidelines from the Center for Disease Control. We have also implemented necessary procedures and support to enable a significant portion of our office personnel to work remotely.
As the spread of the virus began to be identified within the United States in March 2020, we acted by imposing travel restrictions, transitioning large meetings from in-person to virtual formats, assessing our information technology infrastructure to ensure readiness for a remote workforce, staying connected to customers, suppliers and business partners, planning for return to the workplace and making operational adjustments as needed to ensure continued safety of our workforce.
18

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our business operations and financial results beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and continues to impact us in fiscal 2021. Although the financial impact on our overall fiscal 2020 results is limited due to the timing of the outbreak, we face numerous uncertainties in estimating the direct and indirect effects on our present and future business operations, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. Due to several rapidly changing variables related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate future economic trends and the timing of when stability will return. Refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a disclosure of risk factors related to COVID-19.
Particleboard Supply
Due to a catastrophic fire at a key Southeast supplier plant in May 2019 (fiscal 2020) and the supplier’s subsequent decision to shutter operations over the next 90-days at two additional plants, the Company experienced a temporary disruption in supply of particleboard, a key input component to the build of our cabinetry. This disruption resulted in net expense of $4.2 million during fiscal 2020. Management was successful in containing the situation as to not impact our customers.
Financial Overview
A number of general market factors impacted the Company's business in fiscal 2020, including:

• | The unemployment rate increased by 308% compared to April 2019, to 14.7% as of April 2020 according to data provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, although nearly all of the increase occurred in March and April 2020;

• | Increase in single family housing starts during the Company’s fiscal 2019 of 5%, as compared to the Company’s fiscal 2019, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce;

• | Mortgage interest rates decreased with a 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 3.31% in April 2020, a decrease of approximately 83 basis points compared to April 2019;

• | The median price of existing homes sold in the U.S. rose by 6.1% during the Company’s fiscal 2020, according to data provided by the National Association of Realtors;

• | Consumer sentiment, as reported by the University of Michigan, averaged 2.7% lower during the Company’s fiscal 2020 than in its prior fiscal year; and

• | Cabinet sales, as reported by members of the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA), decreased by 0.1% during fiscal 2020 versus the prior fiscal year.

The Company’s largest remodeling customers and competitors continued to utilize sales promotions in the Company’s product category during fiscal 2020 to boost sales. The Company strives to maintain its promotional levels in line with market activity, with a goal of remaining competitive. The Company experienced promotional levels during fiscal 2020 that were higher than those experienced in its prior fiscal year. Sales in the remodel channel decreased 3% during the fiscal year due to a decline in the made- to-order framed business which were partially offset by growth in the stock business.
Sales in the new construction channel increased 6% during the fiscal year due to share penetration with our builder partners and the health of the markets where we concentrated our business during fiscal 2020.
The Company increased its net sales by 0.3% during fiscal 2020, which management believes was driven primarily by growth in the builder channel which was partially offset by declines in the home center and independent dealers and distributors channels.
Gross margin for fiscal 2020 was 19.9%, a decrease from 21.1% in fiscal 2019. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to tariffs of $6.4 million, net cost impacts related to our particleboard supply disruption of $4.2 million, duplicate rent/move costs related to our California facility move of $2.4 million and expenses related to the temporary suspension of operations in our component plants in Mexico during April 2020.
The Company regularly considers the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company has been profitable for the last 8 years. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had total deferred tax assets of $46.0 million net of valuation allowance, up from $14.3 million of deferred tax assets net of valuation allowance at April 30, 2019. The increase in deferred tax assets during fiscal 2020 was primarily due to the adoption of new leasing standards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, after considering all positive and negative evidence, it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance related to deferred
19

tax assets for certain state investment tax credit (“ITC”) carryforwards. These credits expire in various years beginning in fiscal 2028. The Company believes based on positive evidence of the housing industry improvement along with 8 consecutive years of profitability that the Company will more likely than not realize all other remaining deferred tax assets.
The Company also regularly assesses its long-lived assets to determine if any impairment has occurred. The Company has concluded that none of its long-lived assets were impaired as of April 30, 2020.

Net Sales
Net sales for fiscal 2020 increased 0.3% to $1,650.3 million from the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced growth in the builder channel which was partially offset by declines in the home center and independent dealers and distributors channels.
Net sales for fiscal 2019 increased 32% to $1,645.3 million from the prior fiscal year. The fiscal 2019 results include eight incremental months of results from the RSI Acquisition. Excluding the impact of the RSI Acquisition, the Company experienced growth in all channels during fiscal 2019 versus the comparable prior year period.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 19.9% in fiscal 2020 as compared with 21.1% in fiscal 2019. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to tariffs of $6.4 million, net cost impacts related to our particleboard supply disruption of $4.2 million, duplicate rent/move costs related to our California facility move of $2.4 million and expenses related to the temporary suspension of operations in our component plants in Mexico in April 2020.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 21.1% in fiscal 2019 as compared with 20.4% in fiscal 2018. The increase in gross profit margin was due primarily to higher sales volumes, price, mix and overhead cost leverage due to higher volumes. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher transportation costs, newly enacted tariffs and raw material inflation.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses in fiscal 2020 were 5.1% of net sales, compared with 5.5% of net sales in fiscal 2019. Selling and marketing costs decreased by 7% despite a 0.3% increase in net sales. The improvement in the percentage of selling and marketing costs in relation to net sales was due to lower displays and incentive costs.
Selling and marketing expenses in fiscal 2019 were 5.5% of net sales, compared with 6.2% of net sales in fiscal 2018. Selling and marketing costs increased by only 15% despite a 32% increase in net sales. The improvement in the percentage of selling and marketing costs in relation to net sales was due to favorable leverage from increased sales and on-going expense control.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million or 0.4% during fiscal 2020 versus the prior fiscal year. General and administrative costs decreased to 6.8% of net sales in fiscal 2020 compared with 6.9% of net sales in fiscal 2019.
20

General and administrative expenses increased by $43.1 million or 62% during fiscal 2019 versus the prior fiscal year. The increase was related to intangible amortization and higher compensation incentive costs. General and administrative costs increased to 6.9% of net sales in fiscal 2019 compared with 5.6% of net sales in fiscal 2018.
Effective Income Tax Rates
The Company generated pre-tax income of $100.5 million during fiscal 2020. The Company’s effective tax rate increased from 24.5% in fiscal 2019 to 25.5% in fiscal 2020 primarily due to the benefit from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (H.R. 1) (the “Tax Act”) that was recognized in fiscal 2019. The higher effective tax rate was primarily due to lower federal income tax credits. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased from 33.4% in fiscal 2018 to 24.5% in fiscal 2019. The lower effective tax rate in fiscal 2019 was primarily due to the overall benefit from the reduction in the tax rate enacted in connection with the Tax Act.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition, we have presented in this report the non-GAAP measures described below.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is set forth below.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the current period’s results against the corresponding prior period’s results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in evaluating the performance of our business, and we use each in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measurement used in our Term Loans to determine interest rates and financial covenant compliance.
We define EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense, (2) interest (income) expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense and (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude (1) expenses related to the RSI Acquisition and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition, (2) inventory step-up amortization due to the increase in the fair value of inventory acquired through the RSI Acquisition, (3) non-recurring restructuring charges, (4) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification, (5) stock-based compensation expense, (6) gain/loss on asset disposals and (7) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, is useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of our business.
We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.
Adjusted EPS per diluted share
We use Adjusted EPS per diluted share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company’s results by providing an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and/or non-cash items. We define Adjusted EPS per diluted share as diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of (1) expenses related to the RSI Acquisition and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition, (2) inventory step-up amortization due to the increase in the fair value of inventory acquired through the RSI Acquisition, (3) non-recurring restructuring charges, (4) the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (5) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and (6) the tax benefit of RSI Acquisition expenses and subsequent restructuring charges, the net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The amortization of intangible assets is driven by the RSI Acquisition and will recur in future periods. Management has determined that excluding amortization of intangible assets from our definition of Adjusted EPS per diluted share will better help it evaluate the performance of our business and profitability and we have also received similar feedback from some of our investors regarding the same. During the fourth quarter of fiscal
21

2020, management determined that adding non-recurring restructuring charges was an appropriate adjustment due to their non-recurring nature.
Free cash flow
To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to subtract amounts for capital expenditures consisting of cash payments for property, plant and equipment and cash payments for investments in displays from cash flows from continuing operations which is how we define free cash flow. Management believes this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. It also provides a measure of our ability to repay our debt obligations.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth in the following tables:

(1) Acquisition and restructuring related expenses are comprised of expenses related to the RSI Acquisition, the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition and restructuring charges incurred related to COVID-19.
(2) The inventory step-amortization is the increase in the fair value of inventory acquired through the RSI Acquisition that was fully expensed when the inventory was sold in the quarter ended January 31, 2018.
(3) In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company manages these risks through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. The changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recorded in other expense (income) in the operating results.
(4) The Company had loans and interest forgiven relating to four separate economic development loans totaling $5.5 million for fiscal year 2019 and the Company incurred $0.3 million in loan modification expense with an amendment to the credit agreement during fiscal year 2019.

Outlook for Fiscal 2021
The impact on our fiscal 2021 financial results from the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain. The Company’s net sales were down 2% during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 but we expect net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to be down approximately high single-digit to low double-digit versus the prior year period which will negatively impact Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA. This trend could continue until the pandemic subsides and macro-economic factors improve. The Company has taken actions to improve its cash position and as of April 30, 2020 had $97.1 million of cash on hand and access to $94.3 million of additional availability under its revolver. As of May 31, 2020, our cash position has further improved to $107.4 million. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and may implement further measures to provide additional financial flexibility as we work to protect our cash position and liquidity.
Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition are discussed elsewhere in this annual report, including under “Forward-Looking Statements,” and elsewhere in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $97.1 million at April 30, 2020, representing a $39.4 million increase from its April 30, 2019 levels. At April 30, 2020, total long-term debt (including current maturities) was $597.1 million, a decrease of $94.4 million from its balance at April 30, 2019. The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital was 45.9% at April 30, 2020, compared with 52.6% at April 30, 2019. The Company’s main source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from its operating activities.
23

The Company can also borrow up to $100 million under the Revolving Facility. Approximately $94.3 million was available under this facility as of April 30, 2020.
The RSI Acquisition significantly affected the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and cash flow. See Note B -- Acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. (the “RSI Acquisition”) for a table detailing the purchase price. The Company borrowed $250 million under the Initial Term Loan on December 29, 2017 in connection with the closing of the RSI Acquisition and borrowed an additional $250 million under the Delayed Draw Term Loan on February 12, 2018 in connection with the refinancing of the RSI Notes. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities bear interest based on a fluctuating rate measured by reference to either, at the Company’s option, a base rate plus an applicable margin or LIBOR plus an applicable margin, with the applicable margin being determined by reference to the Company’s then-current “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio.” The Company also incurs a quarterly commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility during the applicable quarter at a rate per annum also determined by reference to the Company’s then-current “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio.” As of April 30, 2020, the applicable margin with respect to base rate loans and LIBOR loans was 0.50% and 1.50%, respectively, and the commitment fee was 0.175%.
The Company began repaying the aggregate outstanding amounts under its initial term loan facility and the delayed draw term loan facility in certain specified quarterly installments on April 30, 2018. The Credit Facilities mature on December 29, 2022.
On February 12, 2018, the Company issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes and utilized the proceeds of such issuance, together with the borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan as discussed above and cash on hand, to fund the refinancing of the RSI Notes, which were acquired as part of the RSI Acquisition - See Note B -- Acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. (the “RSI Acquisition”).
The credit agreement governing the Company's credit facilities and the indenture governing the Senior Notes restrict the ability of the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens, make certain investments, dispose of assets or engage in a merger or consolidation, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and make certain restricted payments, including the payment of dividends or the repurchase or redemption of stock, subject, in each case, to the various exceptions and conditions described in the credit agreement and the indenture. See Note G --Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt for a discussion of our compliance with the covenants in the credit agreement and the indenture.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2020 was $177.5 million, compared with $190.8 million in fiscal 2019. The decrease in the Company’s cash from operating activities was driven primarily by a decrease in net income and decreased cash flows from income taxes receivable and accrued compensation and related expenses, which was partially offset by an increase in cash flows from customer receivables and accrued marketing expenses.
Cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2019 was $190.8 million, compared with $86.8 million in fiscal 2018. The increase in the Company’s cash from operating activities was driven primarily by an increase in net income excluding non-cash items (primarily depreciation and amortization), lower pension contributions in excess of expense and a decrease in customer receivables which was partially offset by an increase in inventories and other accrued expenses.
On November 28, 2018, the Board approved up to $5.0 million of discretionary funding to reduce its defined benefit pension liabilities. The Company made aggregate contributions of $7.3 million to its pension plans during fiscal 2019, including the $5.0 million of discretionary funding. The Company made contributions of $0.5 million to its pension plans during fiscal 2020.
On August 24, 2017, the Board approved up to $13.6 million of discretionary funding to reduce its defined benefit pension liabilities. The Company made aggregate contributions of $19.3 million to its pension plans during fiscal 2018, including the $13.6 million of discretionary funding.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
The Company’s investing activities primarily consist of capital expenditures and investments in promotional displays. Net cash used by investing activities in fiscal 2020 was $38.9 million, compared with $37.9 million in fiscal 2019 and $44.3 million in fiscal 2018. Investments in property, plant and equipment for fiscal 2020 were $31.7 million, compared with $32.1 million in fiscal 2019 and $47.6 million in fiscal 2018. Investments in promotional displays were $9.1 million in fiscal 2020, compared with $7.3 million in fiscal 2019 and $2.3 million in fiscal 2018.
24

On November 30, 2016 the Board approved the construction of a new corporate headquarters in Winchester, Virginia. The new space has consolidated employees that previously occupied four buildings in Winchester, Virginia and Frederick County, Virginia, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. During fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, approximately $0.6 million, $6.7 million and $21.1 million, respectively, was spent related to the new corporate headquarters.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The Company realized a net outflow of $99.2 million from financing activities in fiscal 2020 compared with a net outflow of $173.7 million in fiscal 2019, and a net outflow of $141.0 million in fiscal 2018. During fiscal 2020, $98.5 million was used to repay long-term debt, compared with approximately $122.2 million in fiscal 2019 and $96.6 million in fiscal 2018.
Under a stock repurchase authorization approved by its Board on November 30, 2016, the Company was authorized to purchase up to $50 million of the Company's common shares. The Board suspended the Company's stock repurchase program in conjunction with the RSI Acquisition. On August 23, 2018, the Board reinstated the program. On November 28, 2018, the Board authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $14 million of the Company's common shares. This authorization is in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 30, 2016. The Company funded share repurchases using available cash and cash generated from operations. Repurchased shares became authorized but unissued common shares. At April 30, 2019, no funds remained from the amounts authorized by the Board to repurchase the Company’s common shares. On August 22, 2019, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $50 million of the Company's common shares. The Company did not repurchase any of its shares during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020. The Company repurchased $50.0 million during fiscal 2019 and $29.0 million during fiscal 2018.
Cash flow from operations combined with accumulated cash and cash equivalents on hand are expected to be more than sufficient to support forecasted working capital requirements, service existing debt obligations and fund capital expenditures for fiscal 2021.
The timing of the Company’s contractual obligations (excluding interest) as of April 30, 2020 is summarized in the table below:

| FISCAL YEARS ENDED APRIL 30

SEASONALITY
Our business has been subject to seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized in our first and fourth fiscal quarters, although sales were down in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and we expect sales to be down in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. General economic forces and changes in our customer mix have reduced seasonal fluctuations in revenue over the past few years. The costs of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations. The Company has generally been able over time to recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price increases.
For additional discussion of risks that could affect the Company and its business, see “Forward-Looking Statements” above, as well as Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management has chosen accounting policies that are necessary to give reasonable assurance that the Company’s operational results and financial position are accurately and fairly reported. The significant accounting policies of the Company are disclosed in Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report. The following discussion addresses the accounting policies that management believes have the greatest potential impact on the presentation of the financial condition and operating results of the Company for the periods being reported and that require the most judgment.
Management regularly reviews these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board.
Revenue Recognition. The Company utilizes signed sales agreements that provide for transfer of title to the customer at the time of shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual terms. The Company must estimate the amount of sales that have been transferred to third-party carriers but not delivered to customers as the carriers are not able to report real-time what has been delivered and thus there is a delay in reporting to the Company. The estimate is calculated using a lag factor determined by analyzing the actual difference between shipment date and delivery date of orders over the past 12 months. Revenue is only recognized on those shipments which the Company believes have been delivered to the customer.
The Company recognizes revenue based on the invoice price less allowances for sales returns, cash discounts and other deductions as required under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Collection is reasonably assured as determined through an analysis of accounts receivable data, including historical product returns and the evaluation of each customer’s ability to pay. Allowances for sales returns are based on the historical relationship between shipments and returns. The Company believes that its historical experience is an accurate reflection of future returns.
Self Insurance. The Company is self-insured for certain costs related to employee medical coverage, workers’ compensation liability, general liability, auto liability and property insurance. The Company maintains stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit total exposure. The Company establishes a liability at each balance sheet date based on estimates for a variety of factors that influence the Company’s ultimate cost. In the event that actual experience is substantially different from the estimates, the financial results for the period could be adversely affected. The Company believes that the methodologies used to estimate insurance liabilities are an accurate reflection of the liabilities as of the date of the balance sheets.
Pensions. Prior to April 30, 2020, the Company had two non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering many of the Company’s employees hired prior to April 30, 2012. Effective April 30, 2012, the Company froze all future benefit accruals under the Company’s hourly and salaried defined benefit pension plans. Effective April 30, 2020, these plans were merged into one plan.
The estimated expense, benefits and pension obligations of these plans are determined using various assumptions. The most significant assumptions are the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate used to determine the present value of the pension obligations. The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets reflects the current mix of the plan assets invested in equities and bonds.
The following is a summary of the potential impact of a hypothetical 1% change in actuarial assumptions for the discount rate, expected return on plan assets and consumer price index:

(in millions) | IMPACT OF 1% INCREASE |  | IMPACT OF 1% DECREASE
(decrease) increase |  |  |
Effect on annual pension expense | $ | (1.7 | ) |  | $ | 1.5 |
Effect on projected pension benefit obligation | $ | (24.7 | ) |  | $ | 31.3 |

Pension expense for fiscal 2020 and the assumptions used in that calculation are presented in Note J of the Consolidated Financial Statements. At April 30, 2020, the weighted average discount rate was 3.16% compared with 4.02% at April 30, 2019. The expected return on plan assets was 5.0% for the year ended April 30, 2020 and 5.5% for the year ended April 30, 2019. The rate of compensation increase is not applicable for periods beyond April 30, 2012 because the Company froze its pension plans as of that date.
The projected performance of the Company’s pension plans is largely dependent on the assumptions used to measure the obligations of the plans and to estimate future performance of the plans’ invested assets. Over the past two measurement periods, the most
26

material deviations between results based on assumptions and the actual plan performance have resulted from changes to the discount rate used to measure the plans’ benefit obligations and the actual return on plan assets. Accounting guidelines require the discount rate to be set to a current market rate at each annual measurement date.
The Company strives to balance expected long-term returns and short-term volatility of pension plan assets. Favorable and unfavorable differences between the assumed and actual returns on plan assets are generally amortized over a period no longer than the average life expectancy of the plans’ active participants. The actual rates of return on plan assets realized, net of investment manager fees, were 15.6%, 7.0% and 3.5% for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The fair value of plan assets at April 30, 2020 was $190.7 million compared with $169.5 million at April 30, 2019. The Company’s projected benefit obligation exceeded plan assets by $0.4 million in fiscal 2020 and the plan assets exceeded the projected benefit obligation by $0.7 million in fiscal 2019. The $1.1 million increase in the Company’s unfunded position during fiscal 2020 was primarily driven by the decrease in the discount rate from 4.02% to 3.16%, partially offset by better than assumed asset returns. The Company expects its pension benefit to increase from $0.7 million in fiscal 2020 to $2.0 million in fiscal 2021, due primarily to asset returns, partially offset by a decrease in the expected long-term rate of return from 5.0% to 4.5%. The Company does not expect to contribute to its pension plans in fiscal 2021. The Company made contributions of $0.5 million to its pension plans in fiscal 2020.
Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company does not amortize goodwill but evaluates for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
In accordance with the accounting standards, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If after such assessment an entity concludes that the asset is not impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the asset using a quantitative impairment test, and if impaired, the associated assets must be written down to fair value. There were no impairment charges related to goodwill for the fiscal years ended 2020 and 2019.
Other Intangible Assets. Other intangible assets consist of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to six years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges related to other intangible assets for the fiscal years ended 2020 and 2019.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued a new standard for leases, ASC 842, which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard provides for the option to elect a package of practical expedients upon adoption. The Company adopted the standard on May 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the package of practical expedients that allows it to forgo reassessment of lease classification for leases that have already commenced. The Company also elected the practical expedients to the new standard without restating comparative prior period financial information and to not recognize ROU assets and liabilities for operating leases with shorter than 12-month terms. On May 1, 2019, the Company recognized operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of $80.4 million. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or opening retained earnings, or on its debt covenant calculations. ASC 842 also requires entities to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Such disclosures are included in Note O--Leases.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which modifies the methodology for recognizing loss impairments on certain types of financial instruments, including receivables. The new methodology requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning May 1, 2020. This standard will impact the valuation of credit losses relating to receivables, however, we do not expect the standard to have a material impact on financial position or results of operations.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for
27

investments, performing intraperiod tax allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning May 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this new pronouncement and the impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance may have on financial position and results of operations.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” These amendments provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. 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. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and can be adopted as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company has identified loans and other financial instruments that are directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The costs of the Company’s products are subject to inflationary pressures and commodity price fluctuations. The Company has generally been able, over time, to recover the effects of inflation and commodity price fluctuations through sales price increases.
Our revolving credit facility, initial term loan facility and delayed draw term loan facility, include a variable interest rate component. As a result, we are subject to interest rate risk with respect to such floating-rate debt. A 100 basis point increase in the variable interest rate component of our borrowings as of April 30, 2020 would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.4 million.
The Company does not currently use commodity or interest rate derivatives or similar financial instruments to manage its commodity price or interest rate risks.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
American Woodmark Corporation (“American Woodmark,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) manufactures and distributes kitchen, bath and home organization products for the remodeling and new home construction markets. Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers, and builders and through a network of independent dealers and distributors. The Company operates within a single reportable segment primarily within the U.S.; long-lived assets and sales outside the U.S. are not significant.
The following is a description of the Company’s significant accounting policies:
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition: Our principal performance obligations are the sale of kitchen, bath and home organization products. The Company recognizes revenue as control of our products is transferred to our customers, which is at the time of shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual terms with our customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods to our customers. Payment terms on our product sales normally range from 30 to 90 days. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that we collect are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our contractual warranties are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note L--Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion.
When revenue is recognized, we record estimates to reduce revenue for customer programs and incentives in order to determine that amount of consideration the Company will ultimately be entitled to receive. Customer programs and incentives are considered variable consideration, and include price discounts, volume-based incentives, promotions and cooperative advertising. The Company includes variable consideration in revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the variable consideration is resolved. This determination is made based upon known customer program and incentive offerings at the time of sale, and expected sales volume forecasts as it relates to our volume-based incentives. This determination is updated each reporting period. In addition, for certain customer program incentives, we receive an identifiable benefit (goods or services) in exchange for the consideration given and record the associated expenditure in selling, general and administrative expenses.
We account for shipping and handling costs that occur before the customer has obtained control of a product as a fulfillment activity rather than as a promised service. These costs are classified within costs of sales and distribution.
Cost of Sales and Distribution: Cost of sales and distribution includes all costs associated with the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products including the costs of shipping and handling.
Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $33.9 million, $38.9 million and $40.1 million, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash in excess of operating requirements is invested in money market accounts which are carried at cost (which approximates fair value). The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Investments in Certificates of Deposit: Certificates of deposit are carried at cost (which approximates fair value). Certificates of deposit with original maturities greater than three months and remaining maturities less than one year are classified as current assets. Certificates of deposit with remaining maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term assets.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Inventory costs are determined by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method and for certain subsidiaries by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.
The LIFO cost reserve is determined in the aggregate for inventory and is applied as a reduction to inventories determined on the FIFO method. FIFO inventory cost approximates replacement cost.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 15 to 30 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 12 years for machinery and equipment. Assets under financing leases are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the related lease.
34

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company concluded no impairment existed.
Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company does not amortize goodwill but evaluates for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
In accordance with the accounting standards, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If after such assessment an entity concludes that the asset is not impaired, the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it is required to determine the fair value of the asset using a quantitative impairment test, and if impaired, the associated assets must be written down to fair value. During fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company concluded no impairment existed.
Other Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to six years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company concluded no impairment existed.
Promotional Displays: The Company invests in promotional displays in retail stores to demonstrate product features, product and quality specifications and to serve as a training tool for retail kitchen designers. The Company invests in these long-lived productive assets to provide the aforementioned benefits. The Company's investment in promotional displays is carried at cost less applicable amortization. Amortization is provided by the straight-line method on an individual display basis over periods of 24 to 60 months (the estimated period of benefit). Promotional display amortization expense for fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $8.2 million, $6.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and is included in selling and marketing expenses.
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for deferred income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these items are expected to reverse. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates the need for a valuation allowance to adjust deferred tax assets and liabilities to an amount that more likely than not will be realized.
Pensions: The Company has one non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering many of the Company’s employees hired before April 30, 2012. As of April 30, 2020, the Company's two non-contributory defined benefit pension plans were merged into one plan. Both defined benefit pension plans were frozen effective April 30, 2012. The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit pension plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company also recognizes the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs, credits and transition costs as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
Stock-Based Compensation: The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value over the requisite service period. The Company records the expense for stock-based compensation awards subject to performance-based criteria vesting over the remaining service period when the Company determines that achievement of the performance criteria is probable. The Company evaluates when the achievement of performance-based criteria is probable based on the expected satisfaction of the performance criteria at each reporting date.
Self Insurance: The Company is self-insured for certain costs related to employee medical coverage, workers’ compensation liability, general liability, auto liability and property insurance. The Company maintains stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit total exposure. The Company establishes a liability at each balance sheet date based on estimates for a variety of factors that influence the Company’s ultimate cost. In the event that actual experience is substantially different from the estimates, the financial results for the period could be adversely affected. The Company believes that the methodologies used to estimate insurance liabilities are an accurate reflection of the liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts: In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company manages these risks through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company recognizes its outstanding forward contracts in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values. The Company does not designate the forward contracts as accounting hedges. The changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recorded in other (income) expense, net in the consolidated statements of income.

At April 30, 2020, the Company held forward contracts maturing from May 2020 to April 2021 to purchase 327.0 million Mexican pesos at exchange rates ranging from 22.18 to 23.42 Mexican pesos to one U.S. dollar. A liability of $1.1 million is recorded in other accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued a new standard for leases, ASC 842, which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard provides for the option to elect a package of practical expedients upon adoption. The Company adopted the standard on May 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the package of practical expedients that allows it to forgo reassessment of lease classification for leases that have already commenced. The Company also elected the practical expedients to the new standard without restating comparative prior period financial information and to not recognize ROU assets and liabilities for operating leases with shorter than 12-month terms. On May 1, 2019, the Company recognized operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of $80.4 million. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or opening retained earnings, or on its debt covenant calculations. ASC 842 also requires entities to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Such disclosures are included in Note O--Leases.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which modifies the methodology for recognizing loss impairments on certain types of financial instruments, including receivables. The new methodology requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning May 1, 2020. This standard will impact the valuation of credit losses relating to receivables, however, we do not expect the standard to have a material impact on financial position or results of operations.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod tax allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning May 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this new pronouncement and the impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance may have on financial position and results of operations.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” These amendments provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. 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. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and can be adopted as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company has identified loans and other financial instruments that are directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note B -- Acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. (the "RSI Acquisition")
On November 30, 2017, American Woodmark, Alliance Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), RSI and Ronald M. Simon, as the RSI stockholder representative, entered into a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which the parties agreed to merge Merger Sub with and into RSI pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, with RSI continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of American Woodmark. On December 29, 2017 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Company consummated the RSI Acquisition pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As a result of the merger of Merger Sub with and into RSI, Merger Sub’s separate corporate existence ceased, and RSI continued as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of American Woodmark. RSI is a leading manufacturer of kitchen and bath cabinetry and home organization products.
36

In connection with the RSI Acquisition, on December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as administrative agent, providing for a $100 million, 5-year revolving loan facility with a $25 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility”), a $250 million, 5-year initial term loan facility (the "Initial Term Loan") and a $250 million delayed draw term loan facility (the "Delayed Draw Term Loan" and, together with the Revolving Facility and the Initial Term Loan, the "Credit Facilities") (See Note G -- Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt for further details). American Woodmark used the full proceeds of the Initial Term Loan and approximately $50 million in loans under the Revolving Facility, together with cash on its balance sheet, to fund the cash portion of the RSI Acquisition consideration and its transaction fees and expenses.
At the closing of the RSI Acquisition, American Woodmark assumed approximately $589 million (including accrued interest) of RSI’s indebtedness consisting largely of RSI’s 6½% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2023 (the "RSI Notes"). On February 12, 2018, the Company issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes and utilized the proceeds of such issuance, together with the borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan and cash on hand, to fund the refinancing of the RSI Notes. (See Note G--Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt).
Allocation of Purchase Price to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
As consideration for the RSI Acquisition, American Woodmark paid total consideration of $554.2 million inclusive of a working capital adjustment including cash consideration of $364.4 million, net of cash acquired, and 1,457,568 newly issued shares of American Woodmark common stock valued at $189.8 million based on $130.25 per share, which was the closing stock price on the Acquisition Date.
The Company accounted for the RSI Acquisition as a business combination, which requires the Company to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price as of the Acquisition Date, which is based on the consideration of $554.2 million, to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

Goodwill |  | $ | 767,612 |
Customer relationship intangibles |  |  | 274,000 |
Property, plant and equipment |  |  | 86,275 |
Inventories |  |  | 66,293 |
Customer receivables |  |  | 54,649 |
Income taxes receivable |  |  | 18,926 |
Trademarks |  |  | 10,000 |
Prepaid expenses and other |  |  | 4,571 |
Leasehold interests |  |  | 151 |
Total identifiable assets and goodwill acquired |  |  | 1,282,477 |
Debt |  |  | 602,313 |
Deferred income taxes |  |  | 67,542 |
Accrued expenses |  |  | 30,240 |
Accounts payable |  |  | 25,113 |
Notes payable |  |  | 2,988 |
Income taxes payable |  |  | 49 |
Total liabilities assumed |  |  | 728,245 |
Total accounting consideration |  | $ | 554,232 |

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using income, market and cost valuation methodologies. The fair value of debt acquired was determined using Level 1 inputs as quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities were available. The fair value measurements, aside from debt, were estimated using significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820.
37

The income approach was primarily used to value the customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The income approach determines value for an asset or liability based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated over the remaining economic life of the asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. The estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected product pricing, operational performance including company specific synergies, product life cycles, material and labor pricing, and other relevant customer, contractual and market factors. The net cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flow and the time value of money. The market approach is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities, or a group of assets or liabilities. The cost approach estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the property, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation. The cost and market approaches were used to value inventory, while the cost approach was the primary approach used to value property, plant and equipment.
The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $767.6 million of goodwill, which is not amortizable for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized is attributable to expected revenue synergies generated by the integration of the Company’s products with RSI's, cost synergies resulting from purchasing and manufacturing activities, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as the assembled workforce of RSI.
Customer receivables were recorded at the contractual amounts due of $57.1 million, less an allowance for returns and discounts of $2.4 million, and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million, which approximates their fair value.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the exercise of significant judgment, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, long-term growth rates and discount rates. The cash flows employed in the valuation are based on the Company’s best estimates of future sales, earnings and cash flows after considering factors such as general market conditions, expected future customer orders, contracts with suppliers, labor costs, changes in working capital, long term business plans and recent operating performance. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results.
Impact to Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2018
RSI’s financial results have been included in our consolidated financial results of fiscal 2018 for the period from the Acquisition Date to April 30, 2018. As a result, our consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018 do not reflect a full year of RSI results. From December 29, 2017 to April 30, 2018, RSI generated net sales of approximately $177.7 million and an operating income of approximately $9.1 million, inclusive of intangible amortization and adjustments to account for the acquisition, including a $6.3 million charge to cost of sales as a result of the step-up of inventory as of the Acquisition Date to fair value.
The Company incurred approximately $12.9 million of transaction costs associated with the RSI Acquisition during the twelve months ended April 30, 2018 which the Company expensed as incurred. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited)
The following table presents summarized unaudited pro forma financial information as if RSI had been included in the Company’s financial results for the entire fiscal year ended April 30, 2018:

|  |  |  | FISCAL YEAR ENDED
(in thousands) |  |  |  | APRIL 30, 2018
Net Sales |  |  |  | $ | 1,613,663 |
Net Income (1) |  |  |  | $ | 67,388 |
Net earnings per share - basic |  |  |  | $ | 3.83 |
Net earnings per share - diluted |  |  |  | $ | 3.80 |

(1) Includes stock compensation expense of $17.5 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018 calculated under the intrinsic value method in measuring stock-based liability awards related to stock-based grants made by RSI prior to the RSI Acquisition.
The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial data above assumes the RSI Acquisition occurred on May 1, 2016 and has been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the historical results of RSI with pro forma adjustments, net of a statutory tax rate of 34.4% for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018. Significant pro forma adjustments include the recognition
38

of additional amortization expense of $20.0 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, related to acquired intangible assets (net of historical amortization expense of RSI) and additional net interest expense of $2.4 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, related to the $300 million borrowed under the Credit Agreement to finance the acquisition. Transaction expenses, net of tax, of $8.5 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, and inventory fair value step-up expense, net of tax of $4.1 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018 were also excluded from net income.
The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not reflect the realization of any expected ongoing cost or revenue synergies relating to the integration of the two companies. Further, the pro forma data should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the RSI Acquisition, related financing and associated issuance of Senior Notes (defined herein) and repurchase or redemption of the RSI Notes had been actually consummated on May 1, 2016, nor are they indicative of future results.

Term Loans
On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which provides for the Revolving Facility, the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan. Also on December 29, 2017, the Company borrowed the entire $250 million available under the Initial Term Loan and approximately $50 million under the Revolving Facility to fund, in part, the cash portion of the RSI Acquisition consideration and the Company’s transaction fees and expenses related to the RSI Acquisition. On February 12, 2018, the Company borrowed the entire $250 million under the Delayed Draw Term Loan in connection with the refinancing of the RSI Notes as discussed below and to repay, in part, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility. In connection with its entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its prior $35 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo. The Company is required to make specified quarterly installments on both the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Loan. As of April 30, 2020, $122 million was outstanding on each of the Initial Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loan for a total of $244 million. As of April 30, 2019, $170 million was outstanding on each of the Initial Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loan for a total of $340 million. The outstanding balance approximates fair value as the Term Loans have a floating interest rate. There were no amounts outstanding on the Revolving Facility as of April 30, 2020 and 2019. The Credit Facilities mature on December 29, 2022.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities bear interest based on a fluctuating rate measured by reference to either, at the Company’s option, a base rate plus an applicable margin or LIBOR plus an applicable margin, with the applicable margin being determined by reference to the Company’s then-current “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio.” The Company also incurs a quarterly commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility during the applicable quarter at a rate per annum also determined by reference to the Company’s then-current “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio.” In addition, a letter of credit fee will accrue on the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit at a per annum rate equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR loans, payable quarterly in arrears. On January 25, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit
41

Agreement (the “Amendment”) that reduced the applicable margin for both base rate and LIBOR rate loans and reduced the commitment fee incurred on unused portions of the Revolving Facility. As of April 30, 2020, the applicable margin with respect to base rate loans and LIBOR loans was 0.50% and 1.50%, respectively, and the commitment fee was 0.175%. As of December 31, 2021, the Company will transition to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as required by the Credit Facilities. The Company expects the transition to SOFR to be materially similar to LIBOR.
The Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants. The Amendment amended these covenants by (i) removing the requirement to maintain a “Total Secured Debt to EBITDA Ratio” of no more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (ii) setting a maximum “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio” of no more than 3.25 to 1.00 (with an increase to 3.75 to 1.00 for a certain period upon the consummation of a “Qualified Acquisition”). The Credit Agreement also requires that the Company maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no less than 1.25 to 1.00.
The Credit Agreement includes certain additional covenants, including negative covenants that restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens on its assets, dispose of its assets or engage in a merger or another similar transaction or engage in transactions with affiliates, subject, in each case, to the various exceptions and conditions described in the Credit Agreement. The negative covenants further restrict the Company’s ability to make certain restricted payments, including the payment of dividends and repurchase of common stock, in certain limited circumstances. In September 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement that amended the restricted payments covenant to (i) permit unlimited restricted payments so long as the “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio” would be less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 after giving effect to any such payment and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from any such payment and (ii) permit up to an aggregate of $50 million in restricted payments not otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from any such payment. The Amendment further amended the restricted payments covenant to increase the “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio” applicable to the exception permitting unlimited restricted payments discussed above to 2.75 to 1.00. The negative covenants in the Credit Agreement also include a covenant restricting the Company’s ability to make certain investments.
As of April 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the covenants included in the Credit Agreement.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries are secured by a pledge of substantially all of their respective personal property.
The Senior Notes
On February 12, 2018, the Company issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2026 and interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, which payments began on September 15, 2018. The Senior Notes are, and will be, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. The indenture governing the Senior Notes restricts the ability of the Company and the Company’s “restricted subsidiaries” to, as applicable, (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, (ii) create liens, (iii) pay dividends, redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions or restricted payments, (iv) make certain investments, (v) create restrictions on the ability of the “restricted subsidiaries” to pay dividends to the Company or make other intercompany transfers, (vi) transfer or sell assets, (vii) merge or consolidate with a third party and (viii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates of the Company, subject, in each case, to certain qualifications and exceptions as described in the indenture. As of April 30, 2020, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Notes.
At the closing of the RSI Acquisition, American Woodmark assumed approximately $589 million (including accrued interest) of RSI’s indebtedness consisting largely of RSI’s 6½% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2023 (the "RSI Notes"). On February 12, 2018, the Company utilized the proceeds of the Senior Notes, together with the borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan and cash on hand, to fund the refinancing of the RSI Notes - See Note B -- Acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. (the “RSI Acquisition”).
At April 30, 2020, the book value of the Senior Notes was $350 million and the fair value was $330 million, based on Level 1 inputs.
42

Financing Lease Obligations
The Company has various financing leases which interest rates between 3.5% and 6.5%. The leases require monthly payments and expire by February 15, 2026. The outstanding amounts owed as of April 30, 2020 and 2019 were $5.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
Other Long-term Debt
On January 25, 2016, the Company entered into a New Markets Tax Credit ("NMTC") financing agreement, pursuant to section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Kentucky Revised Statutes Sections 141.432 through 141.434, to take advantage of a tax credit related to working capital and capital improvements at its Monticello, Kentucky facility. This financing agreement was structured with unrelated third party financial institutions (the "Investors"), their wholly-owned investment funds ("Investment Funds") and their wholly-owned community development entities ("CDEs") in connection with our participation in qualified transactions under the NMTC program. In exchange for substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax credits, the Investors made a contribution of $2.3 million, net of syndication fees, to the project. Upon closing the transaction, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company provided a $4.3 million loan receivable to the Investment Funds, which is included in other long term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company also entered into loan agreements aggregating $6.6 million payable to the CDEs sponsoring the project. The loans have a term of 30 years with an aggregate interest rate of approximately 1.2%. As of April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had drawn $6.7 million of the loan proceeds, which is included in long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The NMTC is subject to recapture for a period of seven years, the compliance period. During the compliance period, the Company is required to comply with various regulations and contractual provisions that apply to the NMTC arrangement. We do not anticipate any credit recaptures will be required in connection with this arrangement. This transaction also includes a put/call feature which becomes enforceable at the end of the compliance period whereby we may be obligated or entitled to repurchase the Investors’ interest in the Investment Funds. The value attributable to the put/call is nominal. Direct costs of $0.3 million incurred in structuring the financing arrangement are deferred and will be recognized as expense over the term of the loans (30 years).
Certain of the Company's loan agreements limit the amount and type of indebtedness the Company can incur and require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios measured on a quarterly basis. In addition to the assets previously discussed, certain of the Company’s property, plant and equipment are pledged as collateral under certain loan agreements and the capital lease arrangements. The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in its loan agreements and financing leases at April 30, 2020.

Under a stock repurchase authorization approved by its Board of Directors (the "Board") on November 30, 2016, the Company was authorized to purchase up to $50 million of the Company's common shares. The Board suspended the Company's stock repurchase program in conjunction with the RSI Acquisition. On August 23, 2018, the Board reinstated the program. On November 28, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $14 million of the Company's common shares. This authorization was in addition to the stock repurchase program authorized on November 30, 2016. No funds remained from the amount authorized by the Board to repurchase the Company’s common shares. On August 22, 2019, the Board authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to $50 million of the Company's common shares. The Company funded share repurchases using available cash and cash generated from operations. Repurchased shares became authorized but unissued common shares. The Company did not repurchase any of its shares during fiscal 2020. The Company purchased a total of 745,232 common shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million and a total of 309,612 common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $29.0 million during fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively, under the authorizations pursuant to a repurchase plan intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Note I -- Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has two types of stock-based compensation awards in effect for its employees and directors. The Company issued stock options until fiscal 2015 and has issued restricted stock units ("RSUs") since fiscal 2010. Total compensation expense related to stock-based awards for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $4.0 million, $3.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs net of an estimated forfeiture rate for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company estimates the forfeiture rates based upon its historical experience.
Stock Incentive Plans
At April 30, 2020, the Company had RSU awards outstanding under two different plans: (1) 2016 employee stock incentive plan; and (2) 2015 non-employee directors equity ownership plan. As of April 30, 2020, there were 716,027 shares of common stock available for future stock-based compensation awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans.
Methodology Assumptions
For purposes of determining the fair value of RSUs, the Company uses the closing stock price of its common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant. The fair value of the Company’s RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the RSUs to the extent the Company believes it is probable the related performance criteria, if any, will be met. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury constant maturity with a remaining term equal to the vesting period of the RSU grant.
Stock Option Activity
Stock options granted and outstanding under each of the Company’s plans vest evenly over a three-year period and have contractual terms of ten years. The exercise price of all stock options granted is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the option grant date.
The Company did not grant stock options during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018. There were no stock options outstanding at April 30, 2020.

Cash received from option exercises for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, was an aggregate of $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from option exercises of stock option awards was immaterial for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Restricted Stock Unit Activity:
The Company’s RSUs granted to employees cliff-vest over a three-year period from date of grant, while RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest daily over a two-year period from date of grant. Directors were granted service-based RSUs only, while employees were awarded both service-based and performance-based RSUs ("PBRSUs") in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018. The PBRSUs granted in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 are earned based on achievement of a number of goals pertaining to the Company’s financial performance during three one-year performance periods and the achievement of certain cultural goals for the three-year period. Employees who satisfy the vesting criteria will receive a proportional amount of PBRSUs based upon the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the Company’s achievement of the performance criteria.

As of April 30, 2020, there was $7.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.
For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows:

(in thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Cost of sales and distribution | $ | 809 |  |  | $ | 691 |  |  | $ | 667 |

Restricted Stock Tracking Units:
During fiscal 2020, the Board approved grants of 6,483 cash-settled performance-based restricted stock tracking units ("RSTUs") and 3,482 cash-settled service-based RSTUs for more junior level employees. Each performance-based RSTU entitles the recipient to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock as of the payment date if applicable performance and cultural conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The service-based RSTUs entitle the recipients to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock as of the payment date if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. All of the RSTUs cliff-vest three years from the grant date. The fair value of each cash-settled RSTU award is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the liability is adjusted, and related expense recorded, based on the new fair value. The Company recognized expense of $0.0 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million related to RSTUs for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. A liability for payment of the RSTUs is included in the Company's balance sheets in the amount of $0.4 million and $0.7 million as of April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note J -- Employee Benefit and Retirement Plans
Retirement Savings Plans
In fiscal 1990, the Company instituted the American Woodmark Investment Savings Stock Ownership Plan and effective January 1, 2016 the plan name was changed to the American Woodmark Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, all employees who are at least 18 years old and have been employed by the Company for at least six consecutive months are eligible to receive Company stock through a discretionary profit-sharing contribution and a 401(k) matching contribution based upon the employee's contribution to the Plan.
Discretionary profit-sharing contributions ranging from 0-5% of net income, based on predetermined net income levels of the Company, may be made annually in the form of Company stock. The Company recognized expenses for profit-sharing contributions of $3.7 million, $3.8 million and $3.7 million in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company matches 100% of an employee’s annual 401(k) contributions to the Plan up to 4% of annual compensation.
Through December 31, 2018, RSI had the RSI Home Products 401K Retirement Savings Plan (the “RSI Plan”) for all non-union employees. Employees were eligible to contribute to the RSI Plan 60 days after starting employment. The Company elected to make safe harbor matching contributions of up to 4% of each participant’s eligible compensation. The Company’s safe harbor contributions vested immediately.
On January 1, 2019, the Plan merged with the RSI Plan to transfer all assets of the RSI Plan into the Plan.
Effective January 1, 2019, all new eligible participants will be automatically enrolled in the Plan at a contribution rate of 3% with the option of opting out. Beginning January 1, 2021, the contribution rate for the eligible participants as of January 1, 2019 and thereafter will automatically escalate by 1%. The automatic escalation will continue at the rate of 1% per calendar year, up to a contribution rate cap of 8%.
Participants who transferred from the RSI Plan effective January 1, 2019 will be eligible for a profit sharing contribution as of April 30, 2020. Effective April 1, 2020, union employees are eligible to participate in the Plan.
The expense for 401(k) matching contributions for both plans was $10.1 million, $9.9 million and $8.0 million, in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Pension Benefits
Prior to April 30, 2020, the Company had two defined benefit pension plans covering many of the Company’s employees hired prior to April 30, 2012. Effective April 30, 2020, these plans were merged into one plan and the plan name was changed to the American Woodmark Corporation Employee Pension Plan. The plan provides defined benefits based on years of service and final average earnings (for salaried employees) or benefit rate (for hourly employees).
Effective April 30, 2012, the Company froze all future benefit accruals under the Company’s defined benefit pension plan.
Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at April 30, 2020 is $68.6 million ($51.2 million net of tax) related to net unrecognized actuarial losses that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension benefit costs. The Company expects to recognize $1.8 million ($1.3 million net of tax) in net actuarial losses in net periodic pension benefit costs during fiscal 2021. The Company uses an April 30 measurement date for its benefit plans.
47

The following provides a reconciliation of benefit obligations, plan assets and funded status of the Company’s non-contributory defined benefit pension plans as of April 30:

| APRIL 30
(in thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019
CHANGE IN PROJECTED BENEFIT OBLIGATION |  |  |
Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year | $ | 168,788 |  |  | $ | 163,423 |
Interest cost | 5,974 |  |  | 6,269 |
Actuarial gains | 22,293 |  |  | 4,850 |
Benefits paid | (5,871 | ) |  | (5,754 | )
Projected benefit obligation at end of year | $ | 191,184 |  |  | $ | 168,788 |
CHANGE IN PLAN ASSETS |  |  |
Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year | $ | 169,471 |  |  | $ | 156,463 |
Actual return on plan assets | 26,674 |  |  | 11,479 |

Fair value of plan assets at end of year | $ | 190,743 |  |  | $ | 169,471 |
Funded status of the plans | $ | (441 | ) |  | $ | 683 |

The accumulated benefit obligation for both pension plans was $191.2 million and $168.8 million at April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

| APRIL 30
(in thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
COMPONENTS OF NET PERIODIC PENSION BENEFIT COST |  |  |  |  |
Interest cost | $ | 5,974 |  |  | $ | 6,269 |  |  | $ | 5,727 |
Expected return on plan assets | (8,327 | ) |  | (8,509 | ) |  | (8,936 | )
Recognized net actuarial loss | 1,692 |  |  | 1,648 |  |  | 1,601 |
Pension benefit cost | $ | (661 | ) |  | $ | (592 | ) |  | $ | (1,608 | )

The components of net periodic pension benefit cost do not include service costs or prior service costs due to the plans being frozen.
Actuarial Assumptions: The discount rate at April 30 was used to measure the year-end benefit obligations and the earnings effects for the subsequent year. Actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations and earnings effects for the pension plans follow:

| FISCAL YEARS ENDED APRIL 30
| 2020 |  | 2019
WEIGHTED-AVERAGE ASSUMPTIONS TO DETERMINE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS |  |  |
Discount rate | 3.16 % |  | 4.02 %

| FISCAL YEARS ENDED APRIL 30
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
WEIGHTED-AVERAGE ASSUMPTIONS TO DETERMINE NET PERIODIC PENSION BENEFIT COST |  |  |  |  |
Discount rate | 4.02 % |  | 4.18 % |  | 4.12%
Expected return on plan assets | 5.0 % |  | 5.5 % |  | 6.5 %

48

The Company bases the discount rate on a current yield curve developed from a portfolio of high-quality fixed-income investments with maturities consistent with the projected benefit payout period. The long-term rate of return on assets is determined based on consideration of historical and forward-looking returns and the current and expected asset allocation strategy.
The method used to determine the service and interest costs is known as the spot rate approach, under which individual spot rates along the yield curve that correspond with the timing of each benefit payment are used.
In developing the expected long-term rate of return assumption for the assets of the defined benefit pension plans, the Company evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset managers, including their review of asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions.
The Company amortizes experience gains and losses, as well as the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions, over the average remaining lifetime of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.
Contributions: The Company funds the pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements under applicable employee benefit and tax laws plus additional amounts the Company deems appropriate.
The Company does not expect to contribute to its pension plans in fiscal 2021. The Company made contributions of $0.5 million and $7.3 million to its pension plans in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments: The following benefit payments are expected to be paid:

FISCAL YEAR | BENEFIT PAYMENTS (in thousands)
2021 | $ | 6,913 |
2022 | 7,263 |
2023 | 7,653 |

Investment Strategy: The Company has established formal investment policies for the assets associated with its pension plans. The objectives of the investment strategies include preservation of capital and long-term growth of capital while avoiding excessive risk. Target allocation percentages are established at an asset class level by the Company’s Pension Committee. Target allocation ranges are guidelines, not limitations, and the Pension Committee may approve allocations above or below a target range.
During a period of uncertainty in the equity and fixed income markets, the Pension Committee may suspend the Target Asset Allocation and manage the investment mix as it sees reasonable, prudent and in the best interest of the plans to better protect the value of the plan assets.
The Company’s pension plans’ weighted-average asset allocations at April 30, 2020 and 2019, by asset category, were as follows:

| PLAN ASSET ALLOCATION
| 2020 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
APRIL 30 | TARGET |  | ACTUAL |  | ACTUAL
Equity Funds | 30.0 % |  | 33.0 % |  | 31.0 %
Fixed Income Funds | 70.0 % |  | 67.0 % |  | 69.0 %
Total | 100.0 % |  | 100.0 % |  | 100.0 %

Note K -- Income Taxes
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "2017 Tax Act"). Among other provisions, the CARES Act makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The tax effects of the CARES Act are not significant and have been recognized in the current reporting period.

We have not recorded deferred income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. Undistributed earnings that are indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations are not significant as of April 30, 2020.
The Company recorded a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets for certain state investment tax credit ("ITC") carryforwards and foreign tax credit ("FTC") carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, after considering all positive and negative evidence, it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In fiscal 2019, the Company determined that there will not be sufficient income in states for which an ITC deferred tax asset exists and that there will not be sufficient foreign source income to utilize the FTCs. Therefore, the Company reassessed the valuation allowance and recorded an additional valuation allowance in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.5 million related to ITCs and FTCs, respectively.
The gross amount of state tax credit carryforwards related to state ITCs as of April 30, 2020 and 2019 was $3.9 million and $4.6 million. These credits expire in various years beginning in fiscal 2028. Net of the federal impact and related valuation allowance, the Company recorded $0.6 million and $0.8 million of deferred tax assets related to these credits, as of April 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company accounts for ITCs under the deferral method, under which the tax benefit from the ITC is deferred and amortized into income tax expense over the book life of the related property. As of April 30, 2020 and 2019, a deferred credit balance of $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet.
The gross amount of foreign tax credit carryforwards as of April 30, 2020 and 2019 is $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which begin to expire in fiscal 2029.

The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits, excluding the federal tax benefit of state tax deductions:

| APRIL 30
(in thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019
Change in Unrecognized Tax Benefits |  |  |
Balance at beginning of year | $ | 2,240 |  |  | $ | 928 |

Additions for tax positions of prior years | — |  |  | 1,192 |
Balance at end of year | $ | 2,305 |  |  | $ | 2,240 |

The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and, in the normal course of business, its tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future assessments by these taxing authorities, and the Company has accrued a liability when it believes that it is not more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of tax positions that it has taken or for the amount of any tax benefit that exceeds the cumulative probability threshold in accordance with accounting standards. As of April 30, 2020, federal tax years 2016 through 2019 remain subject to examination. The Company believes that adequate provisions have been made for all tax returns subject to examination. The Company is currently not under federal audit. If the liability for uncertain tax positions is released the entire amount would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.
Note L -- Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including without limitation product liability and general liability claims, and claims pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such claims may result in a loss. As required by ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies” ("ASC 450"), the Company categorizes the various suits and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible and those that are deemed to be remote. Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible, a range of loss estimates is determined and considered for disclosure. In determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of similar claims and consultation with independent counsel.
The Company believes that the aggregate range of loss stemming from the various suits and asserted and unasserted claims which were deemed to be either probable or reasonably possible is not material as of April 30, 2020.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our business operations and financial results beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Although the financial impact on our overall fiscal 2020 results is limited due to the timing of the outbreak, we face numerous uncertainties in estimating the direct and indirect effects on our future business operations, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. We will continue to monitor developments affecting our consolidated financial statements, including indicators that goodwill or other long-lived assets may be impaired, increases in valuation allowances for doubtful accounts or deferred tax assets may be necessary or other accruals that may increase or be necessary resulting from actions taken to reduce our cost structure or conserve our liquidity.
Product Warranty
The Company estimates outstanding warranty costs based on the historical relationship between warranty claims and revenues. The warranty accrual is reviewed monthly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates. Warranty claims are generally made within two months of the original shipment date.

Note M -- Revenue Recognition
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into major sales distribution channels as these categories depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows that are affected by economic factors. The following table disaggregates our consolidated revenue by major sales distribution channels for the years ended April 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

Net Sales | $ | 1,650,333 |  |  | $ | 1,645,319 |  |  | $ | 1,250,274 |

Note N -- Credit Concentration
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions and such balances may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash.
Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and generally collateral is not required. The Company's customers operate in the new home construction and home remodeling markets.
The Company maintains an allowance for bad debt based upon management's evaluation and judgment of potential net loss. The allowance is estimated based upon historical experience, the effects of current developments and economic conditions and of each customer’s current and anticipated financial condition. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and updated. Any resulting adjustments to the allowance are reflected in current operating results.
At April 30, 2020, the Company's two largest customers, Customers A and B, represented 26.4% and 22.9% of the Company's gross customer receivables, respectively. At April 30, 2019, Customers A and B represented 28.2% and 25.9% of the Company’s gross customer receivables, respectively.
The following table summarizes the percentage of net sales to the Company's two largest customers for the last three fiscal years:

| PERCENT OF ANNUAL NET SALES
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Customer A | 29.3% |  | 29.3% |  | 23.5%
Customer B | 17.2% |  | 18.6% |  | 16.0%

Note O -- Leases
On May 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases. Changes to the Company’s accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below.
Operating Leases - ROU assets related to operating leases are presented as “Operating lease right-of-use assets” on the consolidated balance sheet. Lease liabilities related to operating leases that are subject to the ASC 842 measurement requirements such as operating leases with lease terms greater than twelve months are presented in “Short-term lease liability - operating” and “Long-term lease liability - operating” on the consolidated balance sheet.
Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined, in which case, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Operating lease ROU assets may also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may also include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. The Company has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for separately. Non-lease components of the lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included in determining the present value.
Finance Leases - ROU assets related to finance leases are presented in "Property, plant and equipment, net” on the consolidated balance sheet. Lease liabilities related to finance leases are presented in “Current maturities of long-term debt” and “Long-term debt, less current maturities” on the consolidated balance sheet.
Finance lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined, in which case, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
The components of lease costs were as follows:

|  | FISCAL YEAR ENDED

Finance lease cost: |  |  |
Reduction in the carrying value of right-of-use assets |  | $ | 2,582 |

NOTE P -- Restructuring Charges
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company implemented a nationwide reduction in force. Severance and outplacement charges relating to the reduction in force totaled approximately $0.2 million and the reduction in force was substantially completed in fiscal 2020.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company implemented a nationwide reduction in force. Severance and outplacement charges relating to the reduction in force totaled approximately $1.8 million and the reduction in force was substantially completed during fiscal 2019.
During fiscal years 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized total pre-tax restructuring charges of $18,000 and $2.0 million, respectively.
A reserve for restructuring charges is included in accrued compensation and related expenses in the consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2020 and 2019 which relates to employee termination costs accrued but not yet paid as follows:

| APRIL 30
(in thousands) | 2020 |  | 2019

Payments and adjustments | (180 | ) |  | (1,600 | )
Restructuring reserve balance, end of year | $ | 189 |  |  | $ | 387 |

Note Q -- Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes the hierarchy of fair value measurements to classify certain of its assets and liabilities based upon the following definitions:
Level 1 – Investments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are invested in money market funds, mutual funds and certificates of deposit. The Company’s mutual fund investment assets represent contributions made and invested on behalf of the Company’s named executive officers in a supplementary employee retirement plan.
Level 2 – Investments with observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Investments with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis.
The fair value measurement of assets held by the Company’s defined benefit pension plans is discussed in Note J.
57

The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents, marketable securities and other investments; accounts receivable and accounts payable; and short- and long-term debt. The carrying values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and payable and short-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these items. The forward contracts were marked to market and therefore represent fair value. The fair values of these contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The following table summarizes the fair value of assets and liabilities that are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2020 and 2019 at fair value on a recurring basis:

Note S -- Subsequent Events
During May 2020, the Company implemented a nationwide reduction in force. Severance and outplacement charges relating to the reduction in force will total approximately $1.5 million and is expected to be completed during fiscal 2021.
During June 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the closure and eventual disposal of its manufacturing plant located in Humboldt, Tennessee. The manufacturing plant is expected to cease operations in September 2020. The Company expects to incur total pre-tax restructuring costs of $3.0 million to $5.0 million related to the closing of the plant, net of building proceeds. The restructuring costs consist of employee severance and separation costs of approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million, and charges for asset impairment of property, equipment and inventory of approximately $2.5 million to $4.0 million. The Company expects to recognize substantially all of these costs during fiscal 2021.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
American Woodmark Corporation:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Woodmark Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of April 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended April 30, 2020, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended April 30, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have 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 April 30, 2020, 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 June 29, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases as of May 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated 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.
Assessment of goodwill recoverability
As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements and disclosed in the consolidated balance sheet, the carrying amount of goodwill as of April 30, 2020 was $767.6 million. The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment annually on February 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company performed a qualitative impairment test for goodwill which resulted in no impairment.
We identified the assessment of events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is below its carrying value as a critical audit matter. A higher degree of auditor judgement was required to evaluate these events or changes in circumstances as a result of uncertainty in the economy. These events or changes in circumstances could
60

have a significant effect on the Company’s qualitative impairment assessment and the determination of whether further quantitative analysis of goodwill impairment was required.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We tested certain internal controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment process, including controls related to the Company’s assessment of events or changes in circumstances that may indicate the fair value of the reporting unit is below its carrying value. We evaluated the Company’s qualitative goodwill impairment assessment through comparison to the Company’s market capitalization and macroeconomic information contained in third party analyst reports on the Company.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management has responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. 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 reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2020. In making its assessment, Management has utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) (the “COSO 2013 Framework”). Management concluded that based on its assessment, American Woodmark Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of April 30, 2020. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2020 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We have audited American Woodmark Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of April 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended April 30, 2020, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated June 29, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
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 Annual 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 of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included 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.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Senior Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2020. Based on this evaluation, and due to the remediation of the previously disclosed material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management had conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2020. Management's report regarding that assessment is included with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report under Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," and is incorporated in this item by reference.
Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP (KPMG), has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. KPMG's report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting is included with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report under Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," and is incorporated in this item by reference.
Remediation of Previously Disclosed Material Weakness. We previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019 (our “2019 Annual Report”) a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting involving ineffective general information technology controls related to RSI. During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020, we completed the implementation of our remediation plan described in Part II, Item 9A of our 2019 Annual Report, as well as sufficient testing to conclude that the applicable controls are operating effectively. Accordingly, management has concluded that the previously disclosed material weakness was fully remediated as of April 30, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Except as described above, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
