ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CSW Industrials, Inc. (“CSWI,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a diversified industrial growth company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration ("HVAC/R"), plumbing products, grilles, registers and diffusers ("GRD"), building safety solutions and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, energy, rail, mining and general industrial. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and Vietnam, and we have distribution operations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our products are sold directly to end users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, primarily including Australia, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S.

Many of our products are used to protect the capital assets of our customers that are expensive to repair or replace and are critical to their operations. We have a source of recurring revenue from the maintenance, repair, overhaul and consumable nature of many of our products. We also provide some custom engineered products that strengthen and enhance our customer relationships. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as RectorSeal No. 5®, Kopr-Kote®, KATS Coatings®, Safe-T-Switch®, Air Sentry®, Big Red®, Cover GuardTM, AC GuardTM, Deacon®, Leak Freeze®, Falcon Stainless, Inc.®, Greco®, TRUaire® and Shoemaker Manufacturing®.

During the three and six months of our prior fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic had direct and indirect impacts on our operations including reduced production activities at our Vietnam operations, material and freight cost inflation, supply chain disruptions and freight delays, driven by numerous factors including government actions, labor supply shortages and recovering demand. In addition, COVID-19 and its indirect effects also contributed to increased demand in certain parts of our business, including the HVAC/R end market. During the three and six months of our current fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our consolidated operating results were immaterial as economic activities recovered and the effects of the pandemic lessened. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, material and freight costs and freight delays improved when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. We expect material and freight cost volatility and uncertainties related to supply chain and freight delay to continue in the near-term.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, potential subsequent waves of COVID-19 infection or potential new variants, the effectiveness and adoption of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics, its impact on our employees, customers and suppliers, the broader implications of the macro-economic recovery on our business, and the extent to which normal economic and operating conditions are impacted. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time.

We are closely monitoring the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its global impacts. We have no operations, employees or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, nor do we source goods or services of any material amount from those countries, whether directly or indirectly. Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, we indefinitely suspended all commercial activities in Russia. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we had no sales into Belarus or Ukraine. While the conflict continues to evolve and the outcome remains highly uncertain, we do not currently believe the Russia-Ukraine conflict will have a material impact on our business and results of operations. However, if the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues or worsens, leading to greater global economic or political disruptions and uncertainty, our business and results of operations could be materially impacted as a result.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022 (“Quarterly Report”), include all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities directly attributable to CSWI and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements are for us and our consolidated subsidiaries, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary, except our 50% investment in a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary and therefore have consolidated into our financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of CSWI’s financial position as of September 30, 2022, and the results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in CSWI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”).

Accounting Policies

We have consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements.  

Accounting Developments

Pronouncements Implemented

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers." This update improves comparability for both the recognition and measurement of acquired customer revenue contracts at the date of and after a business combination. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company early adopted the ASU 2021-08 on a prospective basis on April 1, 2022 and did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 16, 2022, The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was signed into law. The bill was meant to address the high inflation rate in the U.S. through various climate, energy, healthcare, and other incentives. These incentives are meant to be paid for by the tax provisions included in the IRA, such as a new 15 percent corporate minimum tax, a 1 percent new excise tax on stock buybacks, additional IRS funding to improve taxpayer compliance, and others. At this time, none of the IRA tax provisions are expected to have a material impact to the Company's fiscal 2023 tax provision. The Company will continue to monitor for updates to the Company's business along with guidance issued with respect to the IRA to determine whether any adjustments are needed to the Company's tax provision in future periods.

Pronouncements not yet implemented

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This update provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as interbank offered rates and LIBOR. This ASU includes practical expedients for contract modifications due to reference rate reform. Generally, contract modifications related to reference rate reform may be considered an event that does not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination at the modification date. This ASU is effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. We do not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
