Kewaunee Scientific Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") design, manufacture, and install laboratory, healthcare, and technical furniture and infrastructure products. The Company's products include steel and wood casework, fume hoods, adaptable modular systems, moveable workstations, stand-alone benches, biological safety cabinets, and epoxy resin work surfaces and sinks. The Company's acquisition of Nu Aire, Inc. complements Kewaunee's existing portfolio through Nu Aire's biological safety cabinets, CO2 incubators, ultralow freezers, and other essential laboratory products. The Company's sales are made through purchase orders and contracts submitted by customers directly or through its dealers, its subsidiaries in Singapore and India, and a national stocking distributor. The majority of the Company's products are sold to customers located in North America, primarily within the United States. The Company's laboratory products are used in chemistry, physics, biology and other general science laboratories in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, industrial, chemical, commercial, educational, government and health care markets. Technical products are used in facilities manufacturing computers and light electronics and by users of computer and networking furniture.

Principles of Consolidation The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation and its subsidiaries. A brief description of each subsidiary, along with the amount of the Company's controlling financial interests, as of April 30, 2025 is as follows: (1) Nu Aire, Inc., a manufacturing and commercial sales operation in Plymouth, Minnesota, is 100% owned by the Company; (2) Kewaunee Labway Asia Pte. Ltd., a commercial sales organization for the Company's products in Singapore, is 100% owned by the Company; (3) Kewaunee Scientific Corporation Singapore Pte. Ltd., a holding company in Singapore, is 100% owned by the Company; (4) Kewaunee Labway India Pvt. Ltd., a design, installation, manufacturing, assembly and commercial sales operation for the Company's products in Bangalore, India, is 92% owned by the Company; (5) Koncepo Scientech International Pvt. Ltd., a laboratory design and strategic advisory and construction management services firm, located in Bangalore, India, is 80% owned by the Company; (6) Kequip Global Lab Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is 70% owned by Kewaunee Scientific Corporation Singapore Pte. Ltd.

All intercompany balances, transactions, and profits have been eliminated. Included in the consolidated financial statements are net assets of $18,061,000 and $18,547,000 at April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of the Company's International subsidiaries. Net sales by the Company's subsidiaries in the amounts of $98,920,000 and $66,517,000 were included in the consolidated statements of operations for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. During the years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had cash deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from such deposits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Receivables are stated at the amount owed by the customer, net of allowances for estimated credit losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where management is aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, or a project dispute makes it unlikely that all of the receivable owed by a customer will be collected, a specific reserve for credit losses is estimated and recorded to reduce the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential credit losses, a reserve for credit losses is estimated and recorded based on past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding. Accounts are written off when it is clearly established that the receivable is a bad debt. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

Unbilled Receivables Accounts receivable include unbilled receivables that represent amounts earned which have not yet been billed in accordance with contractually stated billing terms, excluding retention, which is included in other assets. The amount of unbilled receivables, excluding unbilled retention, at April 30, 2025 and 2024 was $12,693,000 and $11,840,000, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined for financial reporting purposes principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets or, for leaseholds, over the terms of the related leases, if shorter. Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following at April 30:


$ in thousands	2025		2024		Useful Life
Land	$	41	$	41	N/A
Building and improvements	18,240		17,280		2-40 years
Machinery and equipment	53,702		46,913		2-10 years
Total	71,983		64,234
Less accumulated depreciation	(48,809)		(46,585)
Net property, plant and equipment	$	23,174	$	17,649

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment annually or whenever changes in circumstances or events indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. If projected undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the potentially impaired asset, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair value. There were no impairments in fiscal years 2025 or 2024.

Acquisition Accounting On November 1, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Nu Aire, Inc. See Note 4, Nu Aire Acquisition, for further details regarding the acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined using the income and cost approaches. In many cases, the determination of the fair values required estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental and subject to change. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement of the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. Intangible assets were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method ("MEEM"), or the relief from royalty ("RFR") method, both are income-based approaches. A cost approach was applied for property, plant, and equipment.

The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, but the potential for measurement period adjustments exists based on the Company's continuing review of matters related to the acquisition. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the Closing Date.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as part of the Company's acquisition of Nu Aire. The goodwill arising from the transaction is attributable to the value of the acquired assembled workforce and the premium paid. Intangible assets, net consists of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, and developed technology. Intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the relevant estimated

Use of Estimates The presentation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates impacting the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the allowance for credit losses, self-insurance reserves, and income taxes.

Variable Interest Entity On December 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property with CAI Investments Sub-Series 100 LLC (the "Buyer"), for the Company’s headquarters and manufacturing facilities (the "Property") located in Statesville, North Carolina (the "Sale Agreement") in exchange for $30,275,000 in sales proceeds.

The Sale Agreement was finalized on March 24, 2022 and coincided with the Company and CAI Investments Medical Products I Master Lessee LLC ("Lessor"), an affiliate of the Buyer, entering into a lease agreement. The lease arrangement is for a 20-year term. At the same time, the Buyer and its affiliates formed a new, debt-financed affiliate CAI Investments Medical Products I, DST ("Trust") and contributed the Property to the Trust. According to the terms of the lease, the Trust leased the Property to its affiliated Lessor, which in turn sub-leased the Property to the Company (together with the Sale Agreement, the "Sale-Leaseback Arrangement"). The Company concluded that Parent and its direct affiliates, including the Trust, are designed primarily to acquire and manage the Property and constituted a variable interest entity because the Trust lacked sufficient equity on its own to finance its operations. The Company concluded it should not consolidate Parent or its affiliates under the variable interest model or the voting interest model of ASC 810, Consolidation. For additional information on the accounting for the Sale-Leaseback Arrangement, refer to Note 7, Sale-Leaseback Financing Transaction.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments A financial instrument is defined as cash equivalents, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument from another party. The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and equivalents, mutual funds, a sale-leaseback financing liability, term loans and short-term borrowings. The carrying value of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Expanded disclosures about instruments measured at fair value require the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, 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 as of the reporting date.

(1)The Company maintains two non-qualified compensation plans which include investment assets in a rabbi trust. These assets consist of marketable securities, which are valued using quoted market prices multiplied by the number of shares owned, and life insurance policies, which are valued at their cash surrender value.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. The Company recognizes revenue when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. The majority of the Company's revenues are recognized over time as the customer receives control as the Company performs work under a contract. However, a portion of the Company's revenues are recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time per the terms of a contract. Sales taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from net sales. Certain customers' cash discounts and volume rebates are offered as sales incentives. The discounts and volume rebates are recorded as a reduction in sales at the time revenue is recognized in an amount estimated based on historical experience and contractual obligations.

Deferred revenue consists of customer deposits and advance billings of the Company's products where sales have not yet been recognized. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of product sales. Because of the nature and quality of the Company's products, any warranty issues are determined in a relatively short period after the sale and are infrequent in nature, and as such, warranty costs are immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations and are expensed as incurred.

Credit Concentration The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers. Revenues from two of the Company's domestic dealers and its national stocking distributor represented in the aggregate approximately 41% and 42% of the Company's sales in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accounts receivable for two domestic customers represented approximately 26% and 21% of the Company's total accounts receivable as of April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Insurance The Company maintains a self-insured health-care program. The Company accrues estimated losses for claims incurred but not reported using assumptions based on historical loss experience. The Company has also purchased specific stop-loss insurance to limit claims above a certain amount. The Company adjusts insurance reserves, as needed, in the event that future loss experience differs from historical loss patterns.

Income Taxes In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), the Company uses the liability method in measuring the provision for income taxes and recognizing deferred income tax assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. ASC 740 clarifies the financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in

a tax return. Under ASC 740, the Company evaluates the realization of all deferred income tax assets and determines if a valuation allowance is required on an annual basis. Under ASC 740, the Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC 740 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The Company did not have any significant uncertain tax positions at April 30, 2025 or 2024.

Research and Experimentation Expenditures Research and experimentation expenditures are charged to cost of products sold in the periods incurred. Expenditures for research and experimentation expenditures were $919,000 and $920,000 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, and include trade shows, training materials, sales, samples, and other related expenses and are included in operating expenses. Advertising costs for the years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 were $912,000 and $336,000, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements of subsidiaries located in India are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Effective May 1, 2022, Kewaunee Scientific Corporation Singapore Pte. Ltd. transitioned to using the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. The financial position and operating results of Kewaunee Labway Asia Pte. Ltd. are also measured using the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries using local currencies are translated into United States dollars at fiscal year-end exchange rates. Sales, expenses, and cash flows are translated at weighted average exchange rates for each period. Net translation gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in operating expenses.

Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and the conversion of restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Company's various stock compensation plans, except when RSUs and stock options have an antidilutive effect. There were no antidilutive RSUs and stock options outstanding at April 30, 2025. There were no antidilutive RSUs and stock options outstanding at April 30, 2024.

Accounting for Stock Options and Other Equity Awards Compensation costs related to stock options and other stock awards granted by the Company are charged against operating expenses during their vesting period, under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Forfeitures are accounted for in the period in which the awards are forfeited. The Company granted 62,326 RSUs under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan in fiscal year 2025 and 117,747 RSUs in fiscal year 2024 under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan. There were no stock options granted during fiscal years 2025 and 2024. (See Note 9, Stock Options and Share-Based Compensation)

Segment Reporting Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") is the Company's CODM. In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company determined that the CODM assesses the Company's operations and manages its businesses in two segments : Domestic and International. The Domestic segment consists of the Company's operations based out of Statesville, North Carolina, and Kewaunee's subsidiary, Nu Aire, Inc., based out of Plymouth, Minnesota. The International segment consists of the foreign subsidiaries identified above.

We measure our segment profitability based on earnings before income taxes. Some Corporate expenses, such as those related to executive management, finance, etc., are allocated to the segments. Any non-allocated Corporate costs are shown separately in our segment reporting as presented in Note 14, Segment Information. See Note 14, Segment Information. for further segment financial data.

New Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard effective May 1, 2024 for its fiscal year 2025 annual reporting and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements for Income Tax Disclosures," which requires public business entities to, on an annual basis, (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU also provides for additional disclosure requirements to provide clarity for investors related to income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt this standard in fiscal year 2026. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)," which requires public business entities to provide disclosure of additional information about certain identified costs and expenses on both an interim and annual basis. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40); Clarifying the Effective Date," which provided clarification regarding the effective dates of annual and interim disclosure requirements presented in ASU 2024-03. Upon consideration of the clarification in 2025-01, the guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company will adopt this standard in fiscal year 2028 for annual disclosures and fiscal year 2029 for interim disclosures. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
