Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Donaldson Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of earnings, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three month period ended October 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods. The year end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information was derived from the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For further information, refer to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s joint ventures are not majority-owned and are accounted for under the equity method.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosures regarding contingent assets and liabilities at period end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The effects of the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continue to impact global economic conditions. The Company continues to experience supply chain disruptions, including global logistic challenges, labor constraints and low supplies of steel, petrochemical products and filter media. These disruptions have slowed the Company’s production speed and increased lead times. The Company has undertaken steps to mitigate these negative impacts, such as qualifying additional suppliers. These disruptions impeded the Company’s ability to meet strengthening demand. This dynamic impacted results in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and is expected to continue throughout fiscal 2022.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The Company considers the applicability and impact of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued but not yet adopted. The Company assessed ASUs recently issued and determined that they were either not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting.
