Description of Business
Phibro Animal Health Corporation (“Phibro” or “PAHC”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) is a diversified global developer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of animal health and mineral nutrition products for food animals including poultry, swine, cattle, dairy and aquaculture. The Company is also a manufacturer and marketer of performance products for use in the personal care, industrial chemical and chemical catalyst industries. Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, references in this report to “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar expressions refer to Phibro and its subsidiaries.
The unaudited consolidated financial information for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, is presented on the same basis as the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 (the “Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2018 (File no. 001-36410). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods, and the adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2018, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Phibro and its consolidated subsidiaries, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phibro and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The decision whether or not to consolidate an entity requires consideration of majority voting interests, as well as effective control over the entity.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report. We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), effective July 1, 2018. See “New Accounting Standards” and “Statements of Operations—Additional Information.” As of March 31, 2019, there have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from product sales when control of the products has transferred to the customer, typically when title and risk of loss transfer to the customer. Certain of our businesses have terms where control of the underlying products transfers to the customer on shipment, while others have terms where control transfers to the customer on delivery.
Revenue reflects the total consideration to which we expect to be entitled, in exchange for delivery of products or services, net of variable consideration. Variable consideration includes customer programs and incentive offerings, including pricing arrangements, rebates and other volume-based incentives. We record reductions to revenue for estimated variable consideration at the time we record the sale. Our estimates for variable consideration primarily use the most-likely amount method. Such estimates are generally based on contractual terms and historical experience, and are adjusted to reflect future expectations as new information becomes available. Historically, we have not had significant adjustments to our estimates of customer incentives. Sales returns and product recalls have been insignificant and infrequent due to the nature of the products we sell.
8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Net sales include shipping and handling fees billed to customers. The associated costs are considered fulfillment activities, not additional promised services to the customer, and are included in costs of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations when the related revenue is recognized. Net sales exclude value-added and other taxes based on sales.
Net Income per Share, Weighted Average Shares and Dividends per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period.
Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period after giving effect to potential dilutive common shares resulting from the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units. All common share equivalents were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for all periods presented.

ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, modifies existing disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. This ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and must be applied on a retrospective basis. We continue to evaluate the effect of adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, modifies existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We continue to evaluate the effect of adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, allows reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of stranded tax effects related to adjustments resulting from the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, provides specific guidance for the classification of certain transactions within the statement of cash flows. We adopted this guidance during the three months ended September 30, 2018, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), supersedes the current lease accounting guidance, requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities for both financing and operating leases on the balance sheet and requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. This ASU and its amendments are effective for our consolidated financial statements beginning July 1, 2019. The new standard requires a modified retrospective method. We continue to evaluate our lease contracts and accounting policy elections to determine the overall effect of adoption on our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this guidance will increase the assets and liabilities reported on our consolidated balance sheet.
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), establishes principles for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The underlying principle is to identify the performance obligations of a contract, allocate the revenue to each performance obligation and then to recognize revenue when the company satisfies a specific performance obligation of the contract. We adopted ASU 2014-09 and its amendments effective July 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. Comparative prior period amounts were not restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of the new revenue standard did not have a material effect on reported net sales or retained earnings.
The total cumulative effect of initial adoption of the new standard resulted in the following changes to our consolidated balance sheet:

Statements of Operations—Additional Information
Disaggregated revenue, deferred revenue and customer payment terms
We develop, manufacture and market products for a broad range of food animals including poultry, swine, beef and dairy cattle and aquaculture. The products help prevent, control and treat diseases, enhance nutrition to help improve health and contribute to balanced mineral nutrition. The animal health and mineral nutrition products are sold either directly to integrated poultry, swine and cattle integrators or through commercial animal feed manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors. The animal health industry and demand for many of the animal health products in a particular region are affected by changing disease pressures and by weather conditions, as product usage follows varying weather patterns and seasons. Our operations are primarily focused in regions where the majority of livestock production is consolidated in large commercial farms.
We have a diversified portfolio of products that are classified within our three business segments—Animal Health, Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products. Each segment has its own dedicated management and sales team.
Animal Health
The Animal Health business develops, manufactures and markets products in three main categories:

MFAs and Other:   The MFAs and other business primarily consists of concentrated medicated products that are administered through animal feeds, commonly referred to as Medicated Feed Additives (“MFAs”). Specific product classifications include antibacterials, which inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria that cause bacterial infections in animals; anticoccidials, which inhibit the growth of coccidia (parasites) that damage the intestinal tract of animals; and other related products.

Nutritional Specialties:   Nutritional specialty products enhance nutrition to help improve health and performance in areas such as immune system function and digestive health.

Vaccines:   Our vaccines are primarily focused on preventing diseases in poultry and swine. They protect animals from either viral or bacterial disease challenges. We also manufacture and distribute autogenous vaccine products and market adjuvants to vaccine manufacturers. We have developed an innovative and proprietary delivery platform for vaccines.
Mineral Nutrition
The Mineral Nutrition business is comprised of formulations and concentrations of trace minerals such as zinc, manganese, copper, iron and other compounds, with a focus on customers in North America. The customers use these products to fortify the daily feed requirements of their livestock’s diets and maintain an optimal balance of trace elements in each animal. Mineral nutrition products are manufactured and marketed for a broad range of food animals including poultry, swine and beef and dairy cattle.
Performance Products
The Performance Products business manufactures and markets a number of specialty ingredients for use in the personal care, industrial chemical and chemical catalyst industries, predominantly in the United States.

Total deferred revenue was $5,650 and $4,530 as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities included $927 and $508 of the total deferred revenue as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The deferred revenue resulted primarily from certain customer arrangements, including technology licensing fees and discounts on future product sales. The transaction price associated with our deferred revenue arrangements is generally based on the stand alone sales prices of the individual products or services.
Our customer payment terms generally range from 30 to 120 days globally and do not include any significant financing components. Payment terms vary based on industry and business practices within the regions in which we operate. Our average worldwide collection period for accounts receivable is approximately 60 to 70 days after the revenue is recognized.

Debt
Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facilities
Pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), we have a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), where we can borrow up to $250,000, subject to the terms of the agreement, and a term A loan with an aggregate initial principal amount of  $250,000 (the “Term A Loan,” and together with the Revolver, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities have applicable margins equal to 2.00%, 1.75% or 1.50%, in the case of LIBOR and Eurodollar rate loans and 1.00%, 0.75% or 0.50%, in the case of base rate loans; the applicable margins are based on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The LIBOR rate is subject to a floor of 0.00%. The Credit Facilities mature on June 29, 2022.
The Credit Facilities require, among other things, the maintenance of  (i) a maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and (ii) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, each calculated on a trailing four quarter basis, and contain an acceleration clause should an event of default (as defined in the agreement governing the Credit Facilities) occur. As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facilities.
As of March 31, 2019, we had $96,000 in borrowings under the Revolver and had outstanding letters of credit of  $3,259, leaving $150,741 available for borrowings and letters of credit under the Revolver. We obtain letters of credit in connection with certain regulatory and insurance obligations, inventory purchases and other contractual obligations. The terms of these letters of credit are one year or less.
As of March 31, 2019, the interest rates for the Revolver and the Term A Loan were 3.99% and 3.61%, respectively. The weighted-average interest rates for the outstanding revolving credit facilities were 3.82% and 3.07% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The weighted-average interest rates for the term loans were 3.50% and 3.32% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
In July 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on $150 million of notional principal that effectively converts the floating LIBOR or base rate portion of our interest obligation on that amount of debt, to a fixed interest rate of 1.8325% plus the applicable rate. The agreement matures concurrent with the Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap has been designated as a highly effective cash flow hedge. For additional details, see “—Derivatives.”

Income Taxes
In December 2017, the United States government enacted comprehensive income tax legislation (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to United States income tax law and includes numerous elements that affect the Company, including a reduced federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, creating a territorial tax system that includes a one-time mandatory transition tax on previously deferred foreign earnings and changes to business-related exclusions, deductions and credits. The Tax Act also has consequences related to our international operations.
We have elected to record Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) aspects of the comprehensive U.S. income tax legislation as a current period expense. The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, included $118 and $790 of expense, respectively, from the effects of GILTI.
During the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2019, we updated our accounting for the Tax Act and recorded a benefit in the provision for income taxes of  $216 and $360, respectively, related to the previously recorded one-time mandatory toll charge on the deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. We also recorded a benefit in the provision for income taxes of  $461 and $1,032, respectively, as a result of retroactive elections made on certain of our foreign tax credits.
8.
Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
Our operations and properties are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, including those governing pollution; protection of the environment; the use, management, and release of hazardous materials, substances and wastes; air emissions; greenhouse gas emissions; water use, supply and discharges; the investigation and remediation of contamination; the manufacture, distribution, and sale of regulated materials, including pesticides; the importing, exporting and transportation of products; and the health and safety of our employees (collectively, “Environmental Laws”). As such, the nature of our current and former operations exposes us to the risk of claims with respect to such matters, including fines, penalties, and remediation obligations that may be imposed by regulatory authorities. Under certain circumstances, we might be required to curtail operations until a particular problem is remedied. Known costs and expenses under Environmental Laws incidental to ongoing operations, including the cost of litigation proceedings relating to environmental matters, are included within operating
15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
results. Potential costs and expenses may also be incurred in connection with the repair or upgrade of facilities to meet existing or new requirements under Environmental Laws or to investigate or remediate potential or actual contamination and from time to time we establish reserves for such contemplated investigation and remediation costs. In many instances, the ultimate costs under Environmental Laws and the time period during which such costs are likely to be incurred are difficult to predict.
While we believe that our operations are currently in material compliance with Environmental Laws, we have, from time to time, received notices of violation from governmental authorities, and have been involved in civil or criminal action for such violations. Additionally, at various sites, our subsidiaries are engaged in continuing investigation, remediation and/or monitoring efforts to address contamination associated with historic operations of the sites. We devote considerable resources to complying with Environmental Laws and managing environmental liabilities. We have developed programs to identify requirements under, and maintain compliance with Environmental Laws; however, we cannot predict with certainty the effect of increased and more stringent regulation on our operations, future capital expenditure requirements, or the cost of compliance.
The nature of our current and former operations exposes us to the risk of claims with respect to environmental matters and we cannot assure we will not incur material costs and liabilities in connection with such claims. Based upon our experience to date, we believe that the future cost of compliance with existing Environmental Laws, and liabilities for known environmental claims pursuant to such Environmental Laws, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) is investigating and planning for the remediation of offsite contaminated groundwater that has migrated from the Omega Chemical Corporation Superfund Site (“Omega Chemical Site”), which is upgradient of Phibro-Tech’s Santa Fe Springs, California facility. The EPA has named Phibro-Tech and certain other subsidiaries of PAHC as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) due to groundwater contamination from Phibro-Tech’s Santa Fe Springs facility that has allegedly commingled with contaminated groundwater from the Omega Chemical Site. In September 2012, the EPA notified approximately 140 PRPs, including Phibro-Tech and the other subsidiaries, that they have been identified as potentially responsible for remedial action for the groundwater plume affected by the Omega Chemical Site and for EPA oversight and response costs. Phibro-Tech contends that any groundwater contamination at its site is localized and due to historical operations that pre-date Phibro-Tech and/or contaminated groundwater that has migrated from upgradient properties. In addition, a successor to a prior owner of the Phibro-Tech site has asserted that PAHC and Phibro-Tech are obligated to provide indemnification for its potential liability and defense costs relating to the groundwater plume affected by the Omega Chemical Site. Phibro-Tech has vigorously contested this position and has asserted that the successor to the prior owner is required to indemnify Phibro-Tech for its potential liability and defense costs. Furthermore, a group of companies that sent chemicals to the Omega Chemical Site for processing and recycling has filed a complaint under CERCLA and RCRA in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against many of the PRPs allegedly associated with the groundwater plume affected by the Omega Chemical Site (including Phibro-Tech) for contribution toward past and future costs associated with the investigation and remediation of the groundwater plume affected by the Omega Chemical Site. Due to the ongoing nature of the EPA’s investigation, the preliminary stage of the ongoing litigation and Phibro-Tech’s dispute with the prior owner’s successor, at this time we cannot predict with any degree of certainty what, if any, liability Phibro-Tech or the other subsidiaries may ultimately have for investigation, remediation and the EPA oversight and response costs associated with the affected groundwater plume.
Based upon information available, to the extent such costs can be estimated with reasonable certainty, we estimated the cost for further investigation and remediation of identified soil and groundwater problems at operating sites, closed sites and third-party sites, and closure costs for closed sites, to be approximately $6,077 and $6,833 at March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, which is included in current and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. However, future events, such as new information, changes in existing Environmental Laws or their interpretation, and more vigorous
16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, may give rise to additional expenditures or liabilities that could be material. For all purposes of the discussion under this caption and elsewhere in this report, it should be noted that we take and have taken the position that neither PAHC nor any of our subsidiaries is liable for environmental or other claims made against one or more of our other subsidiaries or for which any of such other subsidiaries may ultimately be responsible.
Claims and Litigation
PAHC and its subsidiaries are party to a number of claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business including product liabilities, payment disputes and governmental regulation. Certain of these actions seek damages in various amounts. In many cases, our insurance policies will cover such claims. We believe that none of the claims or pending lawsuits, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
9.
Derivatives
We monitor our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and from time-to-time use derivatives to manage certain of these risks. We designate derivatives as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of the cash flows to be received or paid in the future related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). All changes in the fair value of a highly effective cash flow hedge are recorded as an asset or liability with a corresponding amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
We routinely assess whether the derivatives used to hedge transactions are effective. If we determine a derivative ceases to be an effective hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting in the period of the assessment for that derivative, and immediately recognize any unrealized gains or losses related to the fair value of that derivative in the consolidated statements of operations.
We record derivatives at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. For additional details regarding fair value, see “—Fair Value Measurements.”
We entered into an interest rate swap agreement on $150,000 of notional principal that effectively converts the floating LIBOR or base rate portion of our interest obligation on that amount of debt, to a fixed interest rate of 1.8325% plus the applicable rate. The agreement matures concurrent with the Credit Agreement. The forecasted transactions are probable of occurring, and the interest rate swap has been designated as a highly effective cash flow hedge.
We entered into foreign currency option contracts to hedge cash flows related to monthly inventory purchases. The individual option contracts mature monthly through June 2020. The forecasted inventory purchases are probable of occurring and the individual option contracts were designated as highly effective cash flow hedges.
The following table summarizes the outstanding derivatives that are designated and effective as cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2019:

Business Segments
We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on the Animal Health, Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products segments. Certain of our costs and assets are not directly attributable to these segments and we refer to these items as Corporate. We do not allocate Corporate costs or assets to the segments because they are not used to evaluate the segments’ operating results or financial position. Corporate costs include certain costs related to executive management, business technology, legal, finance, human resources and business development. Corporate assets include cash and cash equivalents, certain debt issue costs, income tax related assets and certain other assets.
We evaluate performance of our segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income before income taxes plus (a) interest expense, net, (b) depreciation and amortization, (c) (income) loss from, and disposal of, discontinued operations, (d) other expense or less other income, as separately reported on our consolidated statements of operations, including foreign currency gains and losses and loss on extinguishment of debt, and (e) certain items that we consider to be unusual, non-operational or non-recurring.
The accounting policies of our segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included herein.

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
Net sales
Net sales of  $205.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $3.2 million, or 2%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Animal Health and Mineral Nutrition declined $3.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, while Performance Products grew $2.2 million.
Animal Health
Net sales of  $129.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $3.1 million, or 2%. Net sales of MFAs and other increased $1.2 million, or 1%, due to increased international volumes, particularly in the Asia Pacific and Latin America regions, partially offset by lower domestic demand from the poultry and swine sectors. Net sales of nutritional specialty products declined by $3.1 million, or 10%, due to volume declines from continued negative dairy industry conditions and reduced demand from poultry customers. Net sales of vaccines declined $1.1 million, or 6%, due to the loss of a domestic distribution arrangement and turbulent economic conditions in certain international countries; volume growth in other international markets partially offset the reductions.
Mineral Nutrition
Net sales of  $60.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $2.3 million, or 4%, on reduced volumes. A modest increase in overall selling prices contributed to the net sales increase and partially offset the volume decline. Our selling prices of mineral nutrition products generally move in direct correlation with the underlying commodity costs.
Performance Products
Net sales of  $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased $2.2 million, or 16%, due to volume growth of personal care products.
24

Gross profit
Gross profit of  $64.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $4.2 million, or 6%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Gross profit decreased to 31.5% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 33.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Animal Health gross profit decreased $4.5 million due to volume declines in nutritional specialty and vaccine products and unfavorable product mix. Mineral Nutrition gross profit decreased $0.6 million, primarily due to lower volumes. Performance Products gross profit increased $0.9 million, primarily due to volume growth, favorable product mix and improved manufacturing efficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of  $42.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $0.3 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2019, included $0.6 million of stock-based compensation. SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2018, included $0.2 million in acquisition-related compensation costs.
Animal Health and Mineral Nutrition SG&A declined $1.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, primarily due to close control of spending and a reduction in incentive compensation. Performance Products SG&A was even with the prior year. Corporate costs increased $1.1 million due to increased business development expenses and public company costs associated with strengthening and testing of controls over financial reporting, partially offset by reduced incentive compensation. Stock-based compensation and acquisition-related compensation costs resulted in a net $0.4 million increase in SG&A.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net of  $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $0.1 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Improved earnings on short-term investments and the termination of acquisition-related accrued interest offset increased interest expense resulting from increased debt levels and increased variable interest rates.
Foreign currency (gains) losses, net
Foreign currency (gains) losses, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019, amounted to net losses of  $0.1 million, as compared to $1.0 million in net gains for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Foreign currency gains and losses primarily arose from cash and intercompany balances.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was $4.7 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 23.9% and 18.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included a $0. 1 million charge for the U.S. federal GILTI provisions of the comprehensive U.S. income tax legislation. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included a $0.5 million benefit from increased foreign tax credits, a $0.2 million benefit from an adjustment to the previously recorded mandatory toll charge on deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and a $0.1 million benefit from the exercise of employee stock options. The effective income tax rate, without these benefits, would have been 27.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The effective income tax rate reflects the statutory 21% U.S. federal income tax rate.
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 included a $1.0 million benefit from the exercise of employee stock options and a $0.8 million benefit from the release of unrecognized tax amounts. The effective income tax rate, without these benefits, would have been 26.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The effective income tax rate reflected the statutory 28.1% U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to our fiscal year 2018.
25

Net income
Net income of  $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $5.0 million, as compared to net income of  $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. A $4.2 million reduction in gross profit due to reduced volumes and unfavorable product mix was the principal reason for the decline. An increased effective tax rate also contributed to the decline.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA of  $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $3.4 million or 10%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Animal Health Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.1 million, or 8%, due to a gross profit decline, partially offset by reduced SG&A. Mineral Nutrition Adjusted EBITDA declined $0.1 million. Performance Products Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.9 million, driven by sales growth and favorable gross profit. Corporate expenses increased $1.2 million due to increased business development expenses and public company costs associated with strengthening and testing controls over financial reporting.
Comparison of nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
Net sales
Net sales of  $624.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, increased $15.9 million, or 3%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Animal Health, Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products grew $5.9 million, $3.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
Animal Health
Net sales of  $399.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, increased $5.9 million, or 2%. Net sales of MFAs and other increased $19.6 million, or 8%, driven by continued international volume growth, particularly in the Asia Pacific and Latin America regions, partially offset by lower domestic demand from the poultry and swine sectors. Net sales of nutritional specialty products declined by $10.1 million, or 11%, primarily due to volume declines from the continued negative dairy industry conditions and reduced demand from poultry customers. Net sales of vaccines declined $3.5 million, or 6%, due to turbulent economic conditions in certain international countries and the loss of a domestic distribution arrangement; volume growth in other international markets partially offset the reductions.
Mineral Nutrition
Net sales of  $177.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, increased $3.2 million, or 2%. Higher average selling prices were the primary driver of the increased revenue; volumes were approximately even with the prior year. Our selling prices of mineral nutrition products generally move in direct correlation with the underlying commodity costs.
Performance Products
Net sales of  $46.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, increased $6.8 million, or 17%, due to volume growth of copper-based and personal care products.
Gross profit
Gross profit of  $199.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately even with the nine months ended March 31, 2018. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit declined to 31.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 32.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.
Animal Health gross profit decreased $0.7 million as international volume growth and favorable product mix in MFAs and other were more than offset by volume declines in the nutritional specialty and vaccine categories. Mineral Nutrition gross profit decreased $3.4 million, primarily due to unfavorable product mix and constrained pricing in a competitive environment. Performance Products gross profit increased $2.3 million, primarily due to volume growth and manufacturing cost efficiencies. Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 included $1.7 million of acquisition-related cost of goods sold.
26

Selling, general and administrative expenses
SG&A of  $128.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, increased $1.6 million, or 1%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018. SG&A for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, included $1.7 million of stock-based compensation and a $1.5 million benefit from the cancellation of a certain business arrangement. SG&A for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, included $1.1 million in acquisition-related compensation costs and $0.4 million in acquisition-related transaction costs. Excluding the effects of these costs, SG&A increased $2.9 million, or 2%.
Animal Health SG&A was approximately level with the prior year. Increased costs related to sales force expansion and increased investments in marketing and product development were offset by close control of other spending and a reduction in incentive compensation. Mineral Nutrition SG&A declined by $0.5 million on spending control. Performance Products SG&A declined $0.3 million. Corporate costs increased $3.7 million, primarily due to increased business development expenses and public company costs associated with strengthening and testing of controls over financial reporting. The stock-based compensation, cancellation of the business arrangement, acquisition-related compensation costs and acquisition-related transaction costs resulted in a net $1.3 million reduction in SG&A.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net of  $8.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $0.5 million, or 5%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Improved earnings on short-term investments and the termination of acquisition-related accrued interest offset increased interest expense resulting from increased debt levels and increased variable interest rates.
Foreign currency (gains) losses, net
Foreign currency (gains) losses, net for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, amounted to net losses of  $0.1 million, as compared to $1.0 million in net gains for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Foreign currency gains and losses primarily arose from cash and intercompany balances.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was $16.4 million and $21.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 26.3% and 33.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 included a $0.8 million charge for the U.S. federal GILTI provisions of the comprehensive U.S. income tax legislation. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 included a $1.0 benefit from increased foreign tax credits, a $0.4 million benefit from adjustments to the previously recorded mandatory toll charge on deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and a $0.3 million benefit from the exercise of employee stock options. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, would have been 29.0%, excluding these benefits. The effective income tax rate reflects the statutory 21% U.S. federal income tax rate.
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, would have been 27.4%, excluding the items listed below. This effective rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, reflected the statutory 28.1% U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to our fiscal year 2018. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 included certain income tax items as follows:

$3.4 million benefit from the exercise of employee stock options;

$0.8 million benefit from the release of unrecognized tax benefits;

$4.2 million provision to reflect the mandatory toll charge on the deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries;

$2.5 million provision for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the reduced income tax rate;
27


$1.0 million provision for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets to reflect a reduced income tax rate in certain international jurisdictions; and,

$0.5 million provision to eliminate the income taxes remaining in AOCI after all related foreign currency derivatives had matured and were completely cleared from AOCI.
Net income
Net income of  $45.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, increased $3.1 million, as compared to net income of  $42.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Decreased income tax expense of  $5.4 million was partially offset by lower operating income of  $1.7 million. The nine months ended March 31, 2018 included additional income tax expense from the initial application of the comprehensive U.S. income tax legislation and certain other items. Foreign currency movements resulted in a reduction of foreign currency gains of  $1.1 million. Increased interest income from short-term investments contributed to a $0.5 million reduction in interest expense, net.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA of  $91.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $4.3 million, or 4%, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Animal Health Adjusted EBITDA declined $0.2 million compared to the prior year. International volume growth and favorable unit costs and product mix in MFAs and other were offset by volume declines in the nutritional specialty and vaccine categories. Investments in organization and business development were offset by close control of other spending and a reduction in incentive compensation. Mineral Nutrition Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.8 million, or 19%, due to the effect of unfavorable product mix and constrained pricing in a competitive environment. Performance Products Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.7 million, primarily due to sales volume growth, favorable product mix and manufacturing efficiencies. Corporate expenses increased $4.0 million due to increased business development expenses and public company costs associated with strengthening and testing of controls over financial reporting.

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $32.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Cash provided by net income and non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, was partially offset by $37.2 million of cash used in the ordinary course of business for changes in operating assets and liabilities and other items. Accounts receivable used $17.9 million of cash due to the timing of sales and collections in international regions. Increased inventories used $13.5 million of cash due to the timing of sales, purchases and production. Prepaid expenses and other current assets used $4.1 million of cash due to the timing of payments.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $28.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Capital expenditures were $19.8 million as we continued to invest in our existing asset base and for capacity expansion and productivity improvements. Cash used for business acquisitions was $9.8 million. The use of cash was partially offset by $1.0 million of net proceeds provided by short-term investments.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Net borrowings on our Revolver provided $26.0 million. We received $1.1 million from the issuance of common shares related to the exercise of stock options. We paid $13.7 million in dividends to holders of our Class A and Class B common stock. We paid $9.5 million in scheduled debt and other requirements.
Liquidity and capital resources
We believe our cash on hand, our operating cash flows and our financing arrangements, including the availability of borrowings under the Revolver and foreign credit lines, will be sufficient to support our future cash needs. Our operating plan projects adequate liquidity throughout the year. However, we can provide no assurance that our liquidity and capital resources will be adequate for future funding requirements. We believe we will be able to comply with the terms of the covenants under the Credit Facilities and foreign credit lines based on our operating plan. In the event of adverse operating results and/or violation of covenants under the facilities, there can be no assurance we would be able to obtain waivers or amendments. Other risks to our meeting future funding requirements include global economic
29

conditions and macroeconomic, business and financial disruptions that could arise. There can be no assurance that a challenging economic environment or an economic downturn would not affect our liquidity or our ability to obtain future financing. In addition, our debt covenants may restrict our ability to invest.

We define working capital as total current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments) less total current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt). We calculate the ratio of current assets to current liabilities based on this definition.
At March 31, 2019, we had $96.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. We had outstanding letters of credit and other commitments of  $3.3 million, leaving $150.7 million available for borrowings and letters of credit.
On May 6, 2019, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of  $0.12 per share on each share of our Class A and Class B common stock outstanding on the record date of June 5, 2019, payable on June 26, 2019. We expect to pay future quarterly dividends of  $0.12 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock, representing approximately $19.4 million annually, subject to approval from the Board of Directors.
At March 31, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments included $80.6 million held by our international subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on cash distributions to PAHC from our international subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2019, there were no material changes in payments due under contractual obligations from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We do not currently use off-balance sheet arrangements for the purpose of credit enhancement, hedging transactions, investment or other financial purposes.
In the ordinary course of business, we may indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise. These indemnifications typically pertain to environmental matters. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we would be required to reimburse the loss. These indemnifications generally are subject to certain restrictions and limitations.
General description of non-GAAP financial measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is an alternative view of performance used by management as our primary operating measure, and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this performance measure. We report Adjusted EBITDA to portray the results of our operations prior to considering certain income statement elements. We have defined EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for income taxes or less benefit for income taxes, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We have defined Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (a) (income) loss from, and disposal of, discontinued operations, (b) other expense or less other income, as separately reported on our
30

consolidated statements of operations, including foreign currency gains and losses and loss on extinguishment of debt, and (c) certain items that we consider to be unusual, non-operational or non-recurring. The Adjusted EBITDA measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP reported net income.
The Adjusted EBITDA measure is an important internal measurement for us. We measure our overall performance on this basis in conjunction with other performance metrics. The following are examples of how our Adjusted EBITDA measure is utilized:

senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an Adjusted EBITDA basis;

our annual budgets are prepared on an Adjusted EBITDA basis; and

other goal setting and performance measurements are prepared on an Adjusted EBITDA basis.
Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Because of its non-standardized definition, Adjusted EBITDA, unlike GAAP net income, may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.
We also recognize that, as an internal measure of performance, the Adjusted EBITDA measure has limitations, and we do not restrict our performance management process solely to this metric. A limitation of the Adjusted EBITDA measure is that it provides a view of our operations without including all events during a period, such as the depreciation of property, plant and equipment or amortization of purchased intangibles, and does not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies.
Certain significant items
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated prior to considering certain items. We evaluate such items on an individual basis. Such evaluation considers both the quantitative and the qualitative aspect of their unusual or non-operational nature. Unusual, in this context, may represent items that are not part of our ongoing business; items that, either as a result of their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. We consider foreign currency gains and losses to be non-operational because they arise principally from intercompany transactions and are largely non-cash in nature.
New accounting standards
For discussion of new accounting standards, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards.”
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Not all of these significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. However, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant estimates include depreciation and amortization periods of long-lived and intangible assets, recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, realizability of deferred income tax and value-added tax assets, legal and environmental matters and actuarial assumptions related to our pension plans. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the
31

Annual Report. As of March 31, 2019, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein, except for the adoption of the new standard related to revenue recognition. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards” for the changes made to our revenue recognition policy, following the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “potential,” “project,” “projection,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “believe,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “can,” “can have,” “likely,” the negatives thereof and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, revenues, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies, or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected. Examples of such risks and uncertainties include:

perceived adverse effects on human health linked to the consumption of food derived from animals that utilize our products could cause a decline in the sales of those products;

restrictions on the use of antibacterials in food-producing animals may become more prevalent;

a material portion of our sales and gross profits are generated by antibacterials and other related products;

competition in each of our markets from a number of large and small companies, some of which have greater financial, research and development (“R&D”), production and other resources than we have;

outbreaks of animal diseases could significantly reduce demand for our products;

our business may be negatively affected by weather conditions and the availability of natural resources;

the continuing trend toward consolidation of certain customer groups as well as the emergence of large buying groups;

our ability to control costs and expenses;

any unforeseen material loss or casualty;

exposure relating to rising costs and reduced customer income;

competition deriving from advances in veterinary medical practices and animal health technologies;

unanticipated safety or efficacy concerns;

our dependence on suppliers having current regulatory approvals;

our raw materials are subject to price fluctuations and their availability can be limited;

natural and man-made disasters, including but not limited to fire, snow and ice storms, flood, hail, hurricanes and earthquakes;
32


terrorist attacks, particularly attacks on or within markets in which we operate;

our ability to successfully implement our strategic initiatives;

our reliance on the continued operation of our manufacturing facilities and application of our intellectual property;

adverse U.S. and international economic market conditions, including currency fluctuations;

failure of our product approval, R&D, acquisition and licensing efforts to generate new products;

the risks of product liability claims, legal proceedings and general litigation expenses;

the impact of current and future laws and regulatory changes;

modification of foreign trade policy may harm our food animal product customers

our dependence on our Israeli and Brazilian operations;

our substantial level of indebtedness and related debt-service obligations;

restrictions imposed by covenants in our debt agreements;

the risk of work stoppages; and

other factors as described in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. of our Annual Report.
While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences we anticipate or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In the normal course of operations, we are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. As a result, future earnings, cash flows and fair values of assets and liabilities are subject to uncertainty. We use, from time to time, foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps as a means of hedging exposure to foreign currency risks and fluctuating interest rates, respectively. We also utilize, on a limited basis, certain commodity derivatives, primarily on copper used in manufacturing processes, to hedge the cost of anticipated purchase or supply requirements. We do not utilize derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We do not hedge our exposure to market risks in a manner that completely eliminates the effects of changing market conditions on earnings, cash flows and fair values. We monitor the financial stability and credit standing of our major counterparties.
For financial market risks related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, reference is made to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk” section in the Annual Report and to the notes to the consolidated financial statements included therein. There were no material changes in the Company’s financial market risks from the risks disclosed in the Annual Report.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation as of March 31, 2019, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.
Material Weakness Remediation Efforts
We continue to make further progress in implementing a broad range of changes to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and to remediate the material weaknesses that existed as of June 30, 2018. Our actions to address material weaknesses have included the design and implementation of additional formal accounting policies and procedures to ensure transactions are properly initiated, recorded, processed, reported, appropriately authorized and approved. Also, our efforts to ensure maintenance of the appropriate level of segregation of duties includes restricting access to key financial systems and records to appropriate users. We continue to make improvements by reducing the number of segregation of duties conflicts and continue to evaluate the extent it is necessary to limit access and modify responsibilities of certain personnel, as well as designing and implementing additional user access controls and compensating controls. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we completed a gap analysis of our key controls. In completing this analysis, we identified areas where new controls were needed and enhancements to existing controls, policies and procedures need to be made. Through this analysis, we have developed a workplan for remediation of our material weaknesses. We will continue to build on the progress we have made in our remediation plan. We cannot determine when our remediation plan will be fully completed, and we cannot provide any assurance that these remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As described in the “Material Weakness Remediation Efforts” section, there were changes during the three months ended March 31 2019, in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
