REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Plan Administrator and Plan Participants of
H.B. Fuller Company 401(k) and Retirement Plan

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the H.B. Fuller Company 401(k) and Retirement Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Supplemental Information

 

The supplemental schedule of Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2022 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its forms and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

 

 

We have served as the Plan's auditor since 2007.

Description of the Plan

 

The following brief description of the H.B. Fuller Company 401(k) & Retirement Plan (“the Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the plan document for more complete information regarding the Plan’s definitions, benefits, eligibility, and other matters.

 

General

 

The Plan is a contributory defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of H.B. Fuller Company (“the Employer,” “Plan Administrator” and “Plan Sponsor”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

 

Trustee

 

The trustee for the Plan is Great-West Trust Company, LLC (“the Trustee”).

 

Eligibility and Contributions

 

All regular full-time and part-time employees on the U.S. Payroll may begin contributing to the Plan as soon as administratively practicable after their date of hire and will be automatically enrolled unless elected otherwise. The automatic contribution of 4 percent of eligible earnings will be taken out of the employee’s pay and begins as soon as administratively feasible following 30 days of employment and will be invested in the default investment fund used in the Plan. The automatic 4 percent contribution will remain in effect until the employee acts to change the contribution amount. All qualified employees are immediately eligible for the Employer matching contribution. An employee may make contributions equal to 1 percent of pre-tax or after-tax (Roth contribution) compensation up to a maximum of 75 percent subject to a statutory maximum of $20,500 for 2022. Participants who are age 50 or older at any time during the current Plan year, may contribute an additional pre-tax and/or after-tax (Roth contribution) amount to the Plan. The additional amount these participants may contribute during 2022 is $6,500. Participants may also contribute amounts representing rollover distributions from other qualified retirement plans.

 

The Employer makes contributions to employees’ accounts by matching 100 percent of an employee’s contributions, up to 4 percent of the employee’s eligible compensation, to be allocated according to the employee’s elections. A participant’s contribution and Employer’s contribution may be invested in any combination of participant-directed investment funds or H.B. Fuller Company Stock. A participant’s investment option for past and future contributions can be changed daily within restrictions. Investment income is allocated to all participants on the basis of their respective account balances at the close of each daily fund valuation.

 

A participant’s voluntary contribution percentage amount can be changed or suspended at any time. Employer matching contributions to the Plan cease during the suspension period.

 

For 2022, all employees were eligible to receive non-discretionary non-elective retirement contributions of 1 percent of the employee’s eligible earnings each pay period which totaled $2,497,997 for the Plan year ended December 31, 2022.

 

For 2022, all employees were eligible to receive an annual discretionary non-elective contribution of up to 3 percent of the employee’s eligible earnings based on H.B. Fuller Company’s earnings per share. Employees must be employed on November 30th of the plan year, and contributions are made on an annual basis during the first quarter of the plan year following the plan year to which they pertain. There was a total discretionary non-elective contribution of $883,400 made for the Plan year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Each participant’s account is credited with (a) the participant’s contribution, (b) the Employer’s matching contribution, (c) an allocation of the Plan’s investment income, (d) non-discretionary and discretionary Employer contributions and (e) rollover contributions. Allocations of the Plan’s investment income are based on account balances, as defined in the Plan document. Participant accounts are charged with an allocation of administrative expenses.

 

 

Payment of Benefits

 

Upon separation of service, death, or retirement, a participant or beneficiary may elect to receive a lump‑sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account as defined in the Plan document. If the participant terminates employment at the age of 55 or older, the participant may elect to receive their distribution in installment payments as defined by the Plan document. For termination of service due to disability, a participant is eligible for distribution after 12 months of permanent disability. The investment in H.B. Fuller Company Stock may be withdrawn in the form of shares of stock at the option of the Plan participant.

 

Vesting

 

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, rollover contributions and Employer matching contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s non-elective contributions (both non-discretionary and discretionary) plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of eligible service. A participant is 100 percent vested in these contributions after three years of vesting service with the Employer, or upon age 65 (normal retirement date as defined in the Plan), disability, death or plan termination.

 

Notes Receivable from Participants

 

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 but cannot exceed the lesser of: 1) $50,000, reduced by the greatest outstanding loan balance of the past 12 months, or 2) greater of $10,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance, or 3) 100 percent of their vested account balance. The loans are collateralized by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at rates equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the loan is issued (7.50 percent and 3.25 percent as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively). This is determined at the time of the loan. The rate will remain fixed over the term of the loan, usually 5‑15 years. Participant loans at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 had interest rates ranging from 3.25 percent to 7.00 percent and mature at various dates through 2037. Principal and interest are repaid ratably through payroll deductions.

 

Forfeitures

 

Participants who terminate employment with the Employer forfeit the non-vested portion of the Employer’s contribution to the participant’s account. Amounts forfeited are used to pay certain administrative expenses, for participant account adjustments and to reduce future employer contributions. For the year ended December 31, 2022 forfeitures of $248,797 were used for Company match contributions and forfeitures of $436,506 were used to reduce plan expenses. Unused forfeitures as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $210,297 and $246,809, respectively.

 

Plan Termination

 

Although it has no intention to do so, the Employer may, at any time, by action of its board of directors, terminate the Plan or discontinue contributions. Upon termination or discontinuance of contributions, all Employer contribution amounts in participant accounts will become fully vested.

 

 

Plan Amendments and Other Plan Changes

 

On December 22, 2022, the Plan was amended to clarify application of the beneficiary distribution rules issued by the Department of Treasury under the “Setting Every Community Up For Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019” which clarify the issuance of benefits to a designated beneficiary upon death of a Participant. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and the designated beneficiary is not an “eligible designated beneficiary” as defined by the IRS, the amendment defines what the distribution will be under the Plan.

 

On December 30, 2021, the Plan was restated effective January 1, 2022. The restatement includes all amendments that have been approved since the last restatement. Also included in the restatement is an amendment to incorporate an automatic deferral election increase. For this amendment, qualified employees and participants with a deferral election of less than 10 percent of eligible earnings will be subject to an automatic deferral election increase of one percentage point on February 1 of each plan year if they have not made a change to their deferral election in the last 180 days.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP).

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

The fair value of the Plan’s investment in H.B. Fuller Company stock is based on published quotations. The fair values of investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers are based on quoted market prices. Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the valuation methods are considered appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net depreciation in fair value of investments includes the gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

 

Net Depreciation in the Fair Value of Investments

 

The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits, the net depreciation in the fair value of investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized depreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

 

Contributions

 

Participant contributions are recorded in the period the Employer makes the payroll deductions. Employer-matching contributions are recorded based on participant contributions and trued up on an annual basis during the first quarter of the plan year following the plan year to which they pertain.

 

Concentration of Market Risk

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 approximately 8 percent of the Plan’s net assets available for benefits were invested in the common stock of H.B. Fuller Company. The underlying value of the H.B. Fuller Company stock is entirely dependent upon the performance of H.B. Fuller Company and the market’s evaluation of such performance. It is at least reasonably possible that changes in the fair value of H.B. Fuller Company stock in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

 

Distributions to Participants

 

Distributions to participants are recorded when the distribution is made. There were no distributions requested but not yet paid as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

 

Notes Receivable from Participants

 

Participant loans are reported at current value. Current value is defined by ERISA as “the sum of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued but unpaid interest.” No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Plan Expenses

 

The administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan participants and from the forfeiture accounts. Certain asset management fees of the Plan are charged against the Plan’s investment income.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of net assets available for benefits and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of investment earnings and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks, bonds, and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Events that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2022, including the one discussed below have been evaluated through the date these financial statements were issued. There were no events that occurred during such period that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements as of, or for, the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

The Secure 2.0 Act of 2022 was signed into law on December 29, 2022. This legislation includes a vast array of provisional changes to retirement plans, becoming effective in 2023 and beyond. Plan management is evaluating the impact of the adoption and implementation of this legislation on the Plan.

Tax Status

 

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined and informed the Employer by a letter dated June 23, 2017 that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) contingent upon the adoption of certain proposed amendments that were submitted in a letter to the IRS on June 9, 2017 and have been adopted by the Plan. On December 30, 2021, the Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2022. The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

 

U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2018.

Related-party and Party-in-interest Transactions

 

Plan investments include H.B. Fuller Company stock which is invested in shares of common stock of the Employer. H.B. Fuller Company is the Plan Sponsor and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party‑in‑interest transactions. Purchases and sales of H.B. Fuller Company stock for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to $2,987,599 and $5,546,379, respectively. The fair value of H.B. Fuller Company stock was $32,499,933 and $39,607,299 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The number of shares of H.B. Fuller Company stock was 453,629 shares at an average share price of $71.64 and 488,979 shares at an average share price of $81.00 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Plan allows participants to borrow from their fund accounts and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest. Notes receivable from participants were $5,809,596 and $5,229,841 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Certain Plan investments are managed by Great-West Trust Company, LLC. Great-West Trust Company, LLC is the trustee and record keeper for the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

 

(6)

Administration of Plan Assets

 

The Plan’s assets are administered under a contract with Great-West Trust Company, LLC, the Trustee of the Plan. The Trustee invests funds received from contributions, investment sales, interest and dividend income and makes distribution payments to participants.

 

(7)

Fair Value Measurements

 

Estimates of fair value for assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. It also applies to all assets and liabilities that are measured, reported and/or disclosed on a fair value basis. The framework defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The framework discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The framework utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

 

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Mutual funds: Mutual funds consist of investments in various types of funds and are classified as level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing prices are readily available.

 

Common stock: Common stock is classified as level 1 as it is valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

 

 

Money market fund: Money market funds consist of investments in short-term securities and are classified as level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing prices are readily available.

 

Common Collective Trust Funds: Common Collective Trust Funds consist of investments that are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of units of a bank collective trust. The NAV, as provided by the trustee, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. This practical expedient is not used when it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different than the reported NAV. Participant transactions (purchases and sales) may occur daily. Were the Plan to initiate a full redemption of the collective trust, the investment adviser reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure that securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner.

 

The Plan Sponsor is responsible for the determination of fair value. Accordingly, they perform periodic analysis on the prices received from the pricing services used to determine whether the prices are reasonable estimates of fair value. As a result of these reviews, the Plan Sponsor has not historically adjusted the prices obtained from the pricing services. The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflected of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan Sponsor believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

 

The tables below present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the hierarchy.
