RAVEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Raven Industries, Inc. ("the Company" or "Raven") is a diversified technology company providing a variety of products to customers within the industrial, agricultural, geomembrane, construction, commercial lighter-than-air and aerospace/defense markets. The Company is comprised of three unique operating units, or divisions, classified into reportable segments: Applied Technology, Engineered Films, and Aerostar.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, which includes the accounts of Raven and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries, net of intercompany balances and transactions, has been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly present this financial information have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019.

Financial results for the interim three- and six-month period ended July 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2020. The January 31, 2019, consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required in an annual report on Form 10-K. Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Noncontrolling interests represent capital contributions, income and loss attributable to the owners of less than wholly-owned consolidated entities. The Company owns a 75% interest in an entity consolidated under the Aerostar business segment. Given the Company's controlling financial interest, the accounts of the business venture have been consolidated with the accounts of the Company, and a noncontrolling interest has been recorded for the noncontrolling investor interest in the net assets and operations of the business venture.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, other than described in the Accounting Standards Adopted section below.

Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted

In the fiscal 2020 first quarter, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02), issued in February 2016 and the subsequently-issued codification improvements to Topic 842. The primary difference between previous GAAP and ASU 2016-02 is the recognition of lease assets and liabilities by lessees for leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The guidance requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability (to make lease payments) and a right-of-use asset (representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term) on the balance sheet with terms greater than 12 months. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on a modified retrospective basis for all agreements existing as of February 1, 2019. Prior comparative periods have not been adjusted and continue to be reported and disclosed under ASC Topic 840. This adoption did not have a material impact to the Company. As of February 1, 2019, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset for finance leases and operating leases of $233 and $3,807, respectively and a current and non-current lease liability of $1,446 and $2,571, respectively. As part of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company elected the following practical expedient: short-term recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. Note disclosures required in Topic 842 are reported in Note 11 Leases of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, "Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606" (ASU 2018-18). The amendments in ASU 2018-18 clarify that certain transactions between participants in collaborative arrangements should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with

#8

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

Customers," and precludes certain transactions that are not with a customer from using Topic 606. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted in any interim period. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the date Topic 606 was adopted. The Company is examining specific collaborative agreements to determine the impact, if any, the new guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.  

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" (ASU 2018-13). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 remove, modify and add disclosures for companies required to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements under Topic 820. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted. Certain amendments in this guidance are required to be applied prospectively, and others are to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to determine the impact the guidance will have on the Company's disclosures for assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASU 2016-13). Current GAAP generally delays recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss is probable of occurring. The amendments in this guidance eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. Previously, when credit losses were measured under GAAP, an entity generally only considered past events and current conditions in measuring the incurred loss. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities may elect to early adopt ASU 2016-13 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13, including all subsequent amendments and improvements to ASC Topic 326 issued by FASB, will have on its consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.

(4) NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares and fully vested stock units outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding, which includes the shares issuable upon exercise of employee stock options (net of shares assumed purchased with the option proceeds), stock units and restricted stock units outstanding. Performance share awards are included in the diluted calculation based upon what would be issued if the end of the most recent reporting period was the end of the term of the award.

Certain outstanding options and restricted stock units were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculations because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. The options and restricted stock units excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation were as follows:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	July 31, 2019	July 31, 2018	July 31, 2019	July 31, 2018
Anti-dilutive options and restricted stock units	92,974	55,810	29,976	36,384

(5) REVENUE

Disaggregation of Revenues

Revenue is disaggregated by major product category and geography, as we believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following table includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue by reportable segments. Service revenues are not material and are not separately disclosed.

Contract Balances

Contract balances consist of contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not yet billed for at the reporting date, or retainage provisions on billings that have been issued. Contract liabilities primarily relate to consideration received from customers prior to transferring goods or services to the customer. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in "Accounts receivable, net" and "Other current liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. 

#12

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

During the six months ended July 31, 2019, the Company’s contract assets and liabilities increased by $2,362 and $401, respectively. The increase was primarily a result of the contract terms which include timing of customer payments, timing of invoicing, and progress made on open contracts. Due to the short-term nature of the Company’s contracts, substantially all contract liabilities are recognized as revenue during the twelve months thereafter. Changes in our contract assets and liabilities were as follows:

	July 31, 2019		January 31, 2019		$ Change		% Change
Contract assets	$	4,389	$	2,027	$	2,362	116.5	%
Contract liabilities	$	1,704	$	1,303	$	401	30.8	%

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of July 31, 2019, the Company did not have any remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more. Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in the prior period during the three- and six-month period ending July 31, 2019, were not material.

(6) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES OF AND INVESTMENTS IN BUSINESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES

Fiscal year 2020

There were no significant business acquisitions and divestitures or purchases of technologies in the three- and six-month period ended July 31, 2019.

Fiscal year 2019

On January 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets ("AgSync Acquisition") of AgSync Inc. ("AgSync"), an Indiana corporation, headquartered in Wakarusa, Indiana. This acquisition is aligned under the Company’s Applied Technology Division and is expected to enhance its Slingshot® platform by delivering a more seamless logistics solution for ag retailers, aerial applicators, custom applicators and enterprise farms. The AgSync Acquisition constitutes a business and, as such, was accounted for as a business combination; however, the business combination was not significant enough to warrant pro-forma financial information.

The purchase price was approximately $9,700, which included potential earn-out payments with an estimated fair value of $2,052. The earn-out is contingent upon achieving certain revenue milestones. The purchase price of the business acquired was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill, which is fully tax deductible. The Company completed the valuation and the purchase price allocation during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. This resulted in an adjustment in the fiscal 2020 first quarter. This increased the purchase price and the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out payments by approximately $300. The goodwill and identifiable intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase price allocation at July 31, 2019, were $4,526 and $5,700, respectively.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Aerostar sold its client private business for $832, which resulted in an immaterial gain in the three-months ended April 30, 2018. In fiscal 2018, Aerostar actively marketed the sale of its client private business and as such, classified it as held for sale.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company sold its ownership interest of approximately 22% in Site-Specific Technology Development Group, Inc. (SST) with a carrying value of $1,937. This investment was being accounted for as an equity method investment. Raven received $6,556 in cash at closing which was reported as "Proceeds from sale or maturity of investments" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of $5,785 for the three-months ended April 30, 2018. The gain was reported in "Other income (expense), net" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The gain included a fifteen percent hold-back provision held in an escrow account which was received in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Acquisition-related Contingent Consideration

The Company has contingent liabilities related to the acquisition of AgSync in fiscal 2019 as well as prior acquisitions of Colorado Lining International, Inc. (CLI) in fiscal 2018; Raven Europe B.V. (Raven Europe), formerly named SBG Innovatie BV and its affiliate, Navtronics BVBA (collectively, SBG), in fiscal 2015; and Aerostar Technical Solutions, Inc. (ATS), formerly named Vista Research, Inc. (Vista), completed in fiscal 2012. The fair value of such contingent consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date, and subsequently at the end of each reporting period, using forecasted cash flows. Projecting future cash flows

#13

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future events, conditions, or revenues being achieved under the subject contingent agreement as well as the appropriate discount rate. Such valuation techniques include one or more significant inputs that are not observable (Level 3 fair value measures).

Changes in the fair value of the liability for acquisition-related contingent consideration are as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018			July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018
Beginning balance	$	3,956		$	2,903		$	4,172		$	3,046

Contingent consideration earn-out paid	(526		)	(204		)	(1,146		)	(499		)
Ending balance	$	3,579		$	2,950		$	3,579		$	2,950
Classification of liability in the consolidated balance sheet
Accrued liabilities	$	1,013		$	1,709		$	1,013		$	1,709
Other liabilities, long-term	2,566			1,241			2,566			1,241
Balance at July 31	$	3,579		$	2,950		$	3,579		$	2,950

For the AgSync Acquisition, the Company entered into a contingent earn-out agreement, not to exceed $3,500. The earn-out is to be paid annually over three years after the purchase date, contingent upon achieving certain revenue milestones. The Company has made no payments on this potential earn-out liability as of July 31, 2019.

In the acquisition of CLI, the Company entered into a contingent earn-out agreement, not to exceed $2,000. The earn-out is paid annually for three years after the purchase date, contingent upon achieving certain revenue milestones and operational synergies. To date, the Company has paid a total of $667 of this potential earn-out liability.

In connection with the acquisition of Raven Europe, the Company entered into a contingent earn-out agreement, not to exceed $2,500, calculated and paid quarterly for ten years after the purchase date, contingent upon achieving certain revenue milestones. To date, the Company has paid a total of $2,090 of this potential earn-out liability.

Related to the acquisition of ATS in 2012, the Company was committed to making annual payments based upon earn-out percentages on specific revenue streams for seven years after the purchase date. The Company made the final payment in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and has no further contingent obligations related to acquisition of ATS.

(7) GOODWILL, LONG-LIVED ASSETS, AND OTHER CHARGES

Goodwill

Management assesses goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and between annual tests whenever a triggering event indicates there may be an impairment. Impairment tests of goodwill are done at the reporting unit level. There were no goodwill impairment losses reported in the three- and six-month periods ending July 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit were as follows:

	Applied Technology			Engineered Films		Aerostar		Total
Balance at January 31, 2019	$	17,076		$	33,232	$	634	$	50,942
Changes due to business combinations	(33		)	—		—		(33		)
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(82		)	—		—		(82		)
Balance at July 31, 2019	$	16,961		$	33,232	$	634	$	50,827

Long-lived Assets and Other Intangibles

The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles and property plant and equipment, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. For long-lived and intangible assets, management performs impairment reviews by asset group. Management periodically assesses for triggering events and discusses any significant changes in the utilization of long-lived assets. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived

#14

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

asset is grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.

When performing long-lived asset testing, the fair values of assets are determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information. Such valuations are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable (Level 3 fair value measures). An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Fiscal 2020 and 2019

The following table provides the gross carrying amount and related accumulated amortization of definite-lived intangible assets:

	July 31, 2019							January 31, 2019
			Accumulated							Accumulated
	Amount		amortization			Net		Amount		amortization			Net
Existing technology	$	9,172	$	(7,463	)	$	1,709	$	9,203	$	(7,216	)	$	1,987
Customer relationships	16,072		(6,188		)	9,884		15,791		(5,508		)	10,283
Patents and other intangibles	5,942		(2,162		)	3,780		5,908		(1,885		)	4,023
Total	$	31,186	$	(15,813	)	$	15,373	$	30,902	$	(14,609	)	$	16,293

There were no long-lived asset impairment losses reported in the three- and six-month period ending July 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(8) EMPLOYEE POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company provides postretirement medical and other benefits to certain current and past senior executive officers and senior managers. These plan obligations are unfunded. The components of the net periodic benefit cost for postretirement benefits are as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018			July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018
Service cost	$	7		$	7		$	14		$	14
Interest cost	84			79			167			158
Amortization of actuarial losses	24			32			48			64
Amortization of unrecognized gains in prior service cost	(40		)	(40		)	(80		)	(80		)
Net periodic benefit cost	$	75		$	78		$	149		$	156

Postretirement benefit cost components are reclassified in their entirety from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net periodic benefit cost. Service cost is reported in net income as “Cost of sales” or “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in a manner consistent with the classification of direct labor and personnel costs of the eligible employees. Interest cost, amortization of actuarial gains or losses, and amortization of prior service cost are classified as a non-operating expense in "Other income (expense), net" on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

(9) WARRANTIES

Accruals necessary for product warranties are estimated based on historical warranty costs and average time elapsed between purchases and returns for each division. Additional accruals are made for any significant, discrete warranty issues. Changes in the warranty accrual were as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018			July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018
Beginning balance	$	1,391		$	1,097		$	890		$	1,163
Change in provision	1,032			329			1,854			486
Settlements made	(684		)	(289		)	(1,005		)	(512		)
Ending balance	$	1,739		$	1,137		$	1,739		$	1,137

(10) FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company entered into a credit facility on April 15, 2015, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch as Canadian Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and each lender from time to time a party thereto (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a syndicated senior revolving credit facility up to $125,000 with a maturity date of April 15, 2020. Loan proceeds may be utilized by Raven for strategic business purposes, such as business acquisitions, and for net working capital needs. The Company expects to enter into a new credit facility prior to the Credit Agreement maturing in fiscal 2021.

Simultaneous with execution of the Credit Agreement, Raven and its subsidiaries entered into a guaranty agreement in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association in its capacity as administrator under the Credit Agreement for the benefit of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch and the lenders and their affiliates under the Credit Agreement.

The unamortized debt issuance costs associated with this Credit Agreement were as follows:

	July 31, 2019		January 31, 2019
Unamortized debt issuance costs(a)	$	78	$	132

^(a) Unamortized debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement and are reported as "Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Loans or borrowings defined under the Credit Agreement bear interest and fees at varying rates and terms defined in the Credit Agreement based on the type of borrowing as defined. The Credit Agreement includes annual administrative and unborrowed capacity fees. The Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including those relating to financial reporting and notification, limits on levels of indebtedness and liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, affiliate transactions, sales of assets, restrictive agreements, and change in control as defined in the Credit Agreement. Financial covenants include an interest coverage ratio and funded indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization as defined in the Credit Agreement.

Letters of credit (LOC) issued and outstanding were as follows:

	July 31, 2019		January 31, 2019
Letters of credit outstanding(a)	$	314	$	514

^(a) Any draws required under the LOC would be settled with available cash or borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

There were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement for any of the fiscal periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Availability under the Credit Agreement for borrowings as of July 31, 2019, was $124,736.

(11) LEASES

The Company enters into operating and finance lease contracts related to facilities, vehicles and equipment. Operating leases are primarily related to facilities to support production, research and development, and sales efforts. Finance leases are primarily related to vehicles and equipment to support general business operations. Lease payments are typically fixed and carry lease terms of one to six years, some of which have an option to terminate or extend up to an additional ten years. For purposes of the quantitative disclosures below related to the calculation of operating and finance leases, lease terms did not include options to terminate or extend, as the Company is reasonably certain it would not exercise the options. Most of the Company's leases do not contain a purchase option, material residual value guarantee, or material restrictive covenants.

The Company is primarily a lessee in all lease arrangements but may become a lessor and lease or sublease certain assets to other entities if not fully utilized. These lessor activities are not material and are not separately disclosed.

To determine whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assessed its right to control the use of the identified asset, whether explicitly or implicitly stated, for a period of time while considering all facts and circumstances for each individual arrangement. The Company also has leases with non-lease components which are separately stated within the agreement and not included in the recognition of the right-of use asset and lease liability balances.

The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the lease liabilities is based upon the implied rate within each contract. If the rate is unknown or cannot be determined, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate, which is determined by the length of the contract, asset class, and the Company's borrowing rates as of the commencement date of the contract.

#16

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

Components of Company lease costs, including operating, finance, and short-term leases are included in the table below. Depreciation of right-of-use assets, operating leases cost, and short-term lease costs are reported in net income as "Cost of sales," "Research and development expenses," or "Selling, general, and administrative expenses," depending on what business function the asset primarily supports. Interest on lease liabilities are classified as a non-operating expense in "Other income (expense), net" on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

(12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved as a party in lawsuits, claims, regulatory inquiries, or disputes arising in the normal course of its business; potential costs and liabilities of which cannot be determined at this time. Management does not believe the ultimate outcomes of its legal proceedings are likely to be material to its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In addition, the Company has insurance policies that provide coverage to various degrees for potential liabilities arising from legal proceedings.

The Company entered into a Gift Agreement ("the Agreement") effective in January 2018 with the South Dakota State University Foundation, Inc. ("the Foundation"). This gift will be used by South Dakota State University (SDSU), located in Brookings, SD, for the establishment of a precision agriculture facility to support SDSU's Precision Agriculture degrees and curriculum. This facility will assist the Company in further collaboration with faculty, staff and students on emerging technology in support of the growing need for precision agriculture practices and tools.

The Agreement states that the Company will make a $5,000 gift to the Foundation, conditional on certain actions. Management concluded that the contingencies related to this gift were substantially met during the three-month period ended April 30, 2018, and a liability had been incurred. As such, $4,503 of selling, general, and administrative expense was recognized in the three-month period ending April 30, 2018, with interest expense to be recognized in periods thereafter. The fair value of this contingency at July 31, 2019, was $3,261 (measured based on the present value of the expected future cash outflows), of which $704 was classified as "Accrued liabilities" and $2,557 was classified as "Other liabilities." As of July 31, 2019, the Company has made payments related to the commitment totaling $1,430.

In addition to commitments disclosed elsewhere in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has other unconditional purchase obligations that arise in the normal course of business operations. The majority of these obligations are related to the purchase of raw material inventory for the Applied Technology and Engineered Films divisions.

(13) INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate varies from the federal statutory rate, primarily due to state and local taxes, research and development tax credit, foreign-derived intangible income deduction, and tax-exempt insurance premiums. The Company’s effective tax rates were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 31, 2019		July 31, 2018		July 31, 2019		July 31, 2018
Effective tax rate	20.0	%	16.8	%	15.5	%	17.9	%

Timing of discrete items related to the vesting or settlement of equity awards was the primary driver of the year-over-year changes in the effective tax rate for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2019. The Company’s effective tax rates, excluding discrete items, in the three-month periods ended July 31, 2019, and 2018, were 19.1 percent and 19.5 percent, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates, excluding discrete items, in the six-month periods ended July 31, 2019, and 2018, were 19.6 percent and 19.5 percent, respectively.

The Company recognized a discrete tax benefit related to the vesting or settlement of equity awards as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 31, 2019		July 31, 2018		July 31, 2019		July 31, 2018
Discrete tax benefit	$	22	$	471	$	1,190	$	714

The Company operates both domestically and internationally. As of July 31, 2019, undistributed earnings from the Company's foreign subsidiaries were considered to have been reinvested indefinitely.

Consolidated Results

For the fiscal 2020 second quarter, net sales were $98.1 million, down $4.6 million, or 4.5%, from $102.7 million in last year’s second quarter. Each division experienced a year-over-year decline, but the majority of the decrease in net sales was driven primarily by Applied Technology. Applied Technology's ag market conditions deteriorated significantly compared to the division's expectations at the beginning of the second quarter. Abnormal wet weather in the U.S. caused challenging field conditions which negatively impacted planting and application activities in the field and drove reductions in customer demand.

The Company's operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $10.6 million, down $6.1 million, or 36.4%, compared

#22

to the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by negative operating leverage as a result of lower sales volume. Operating income also reflected increased investment in research and development activities in both the Applied Technology and Aerostar divisions.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $8.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the prior year comparative period. The Company's effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, was consistent with the second quarter of last year at approximately 19 percent. The prior year's second quarter net income benefited from approximately $0.5 million of favorable discrete tax items that did not reoccur in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

For the six-month period ended July 31, 2019, net sales were $196.2 million compared to $213.8 million, down 8.2% versus the prior year comparative period. Engineered Films was the primary driver for the year-over-year decrease in net sales due to its $8.1 million decrease in hurricane recovery film sales and end-market challenges in the industrial and geomembrane markets.

The Company's operating income was $25.7 million, down 32.7% from the prior year six-month period. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to negative operating leverage as a result of lower sales volume. Operating income also included increased investment in research and development activities in both Applied Technology and Aerostar compared to the first six months of the prior year.

Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2020 was $22.0 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to net income of $35.8 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the prior year comparative period. Results for the six-month period ended July 31, 2018, on a pre-tax basis included a non-operating gain on the sale of the Company's ownership interest in SST of $5.8 million ($4.6 million after-tax, or $0.13 per diluted share) and an expense associated with the previously announced gift to South Dakota State University of $4.5 million ($3.6 million after-tax, or $0.10 per diluted share). Year-to-date net income benefited from an increase in favorable discrete tax items of $0.5 million compared to the prior year, which reduced the Company's effective tax rate by 2 percentage points.

Applied Technology Division Results

Applied Technology's net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 were $27.4 million, down $3.0 million from last year's second quarter. Geographically, international sales were up 3.4% year-over-year, but domestic sales were down $3.2 million, or 13.6%, year-over-year. International sales growth was driven primarily by strong growth in Latin America as a result of the division's investment into the region and strong OEM relationships. Challenging field conditions in the U.S. led to lower levels of field application activities by ag retailers and extended OEM plant shutdowns, which primarily caused the decrease in domestic sales.

Operating income for Applied Technology was $4.8 million, down $4.0 million or 44.8% compared to $8.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Lower sales volume and corresponding negative operating leverage primarily drove the decrease in operating income. Operating income also included increased investment in research and development activities compared to the prior year. Part of the year-over-year increase included investments in selling and research and development related to AgSync, acquired in January of 2019.

Net sales for Applied Technology in the first six months of fiscal 2020 were $69.1 million, down 2.4% compared to the first six months of fiscal 2019. Geographically, international sales were up 8.3% year-over-year and domestic sales were down 5.9% year-over-year. International sales growth was driven primarily by strong growth in Latin America as a result of the division's investment into the region and strong OEM relationships. Challenging field conditions in the U.S. led to lower levels of field application activities by ag retailers and extended OEM plant shutdowns, which caused the decrease in domestic sales.

Operating income for the first six months of fiscal 2020 was $18.1 million, down 26.9% compared to the first six months of fiscal 2019. Operating income includes increased investment in research and development activities compared to the prior year comparative period. The increased investment in research and development activities included incremental investments related to the acquisition of AgSync. Prior year operating income also included favorable legal recoveries that did not reoccur in the first six months of fiscal 2020.

Engineered Films Division Results

Engineered Films’ fiscal 2020 second quarter net sales were $57.5 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 2.3%, compared to fiscal 2019 second quarter net sales of $58.9 million. The division experienced end-market challenges during the second quarter in the geomembrane market as well as lower than anticipated customer demand in the industrial market. These challenges were partially offset as the division caught up on the fulfillment of sales orders that were delayed from the first quarter due to the implementation of the new enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform.

Operating income for Engineered Films in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 6.1% to $10.2 million as compared to $10.8

#23

million in the prior year second quarter. Operating inefficiencies experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from the implementation of the Company's new ERP platform were largely resolved in the second quarter; however, higher operating expenses had an unfavorable impact to the division's operating income. The division expects to generate additional efficiency gains as it grows and matures in its use of the new system.

Net sales for Engineered Films in the first six months of fiscal 2020 were $101.8 million, a decrease of $17.1 million, or 14.4%, compared to the year-to-date six-month period of fiscal 2019. Hurricane recovery film sales were down $8.1 million in the first six-months of fiscal 2020 compared to the prior year. The division also experienced end-market challenges in the geomembrane market as well as lower than anticipated customer demand in the industrial market.

Operating income for the first six months of fiscal 2020 decreased 31.2% to $16.5 million as compared to $24.0 million in the prior year comparative period. The year-over-year decrease in operating income was driven primarily by negative operating leverage on lower sales volume.

Aerostar Division Results

Aerostar net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 were $13.2 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 2.4%, compared to fiscal 2019 second quarter net sales of $13.5 million. The division achieved year-over-year growth in its core stratospheric balloon and radar product lines; however, aerostat sales declined $3.8 million versus the prior year's second quarter and drove the year-over-year decline in division net sales.

Operating income for Aerostar in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $2.9 million compared to $3.8 million in the second quarter of last year. The decrease was driven primarily by reduced aerostat sales that generated above division average margins. In addition, the division increased investment in research and development and selling expenses to focus on advancing its engineering services and flight operations capabilities and to support a consistent cadence of fulfilling future contracts.

Net sales for Aerostar in the first six months of fiscal 2020 were $25.4 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 3.9%, compared to the first six months of fiscal 2019. Strong growth in the division's core stratospheric balloon and radar sales drove the year-over-year increase.

Operating income for the six-month year-to-date period of fiscal 2020 was $4.9 million compared to operating income of $6.6 million in the prior year comparative period. Despite the increase in net sales, operating income decreased due to increased investment in research and development and selling expenses to focus on advancing its engineering services and flight operations capabilities and to support a consistent cadence of fulfilling future contracts.

The following factors were the primary drivers of the three- and six-month year-over-year changes:

• Market conditions. Market conditions in the ag market deteriorated significantly compared to the division's expectations

#24

at the beginning of the second quarter. Abnormal wet weather in the U.S. caused challenging field conditions which negatively impacted planting and application activities in the field and drove reductions in customer demand. Given the challenges being faced, several key OEMs responded with plant shutdowns in order to recalibrate production levels to align with a lower forecast of new machine sales. This temporarily halted sprayer unit production. As a result, Applied Technology's OEM and aftermarket demand in the first half of fiscal 2020 experienced a significant decline. The Company does not generally model comparative market share position for its divisions, but the Company believes Applied Technology maintained its market share in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

• Sales volume and selling prices. Second quarter fiscal 2020 net sales decreased $3.0 million or 9.9%, to $27.4 million compared to $30.4 million in the prior year. Year-to-date sales decreased 2.4% to $69.1 million compared to $70.8 million in the prior year. Lower sales volume of both new and existing products, rather than a change in selling price, was the primary driver of this decrease. Geographically in the second quarter, international sales were up 3.4% year-over-year, and domestic sales were down 13.6% year-over-year. For the six-month period, international sales totaled $19.1 million, an increase of 8.3% from prior year. International sales growth for both periods was driven primarily by significant growth in Latin America as a result of the division's investment into the region and strong OEM relationships. Longer than expected OEM plant shutdowns and limited application activities by ag retailers drove a decline in sales domestically.

• International sales. For the second quarter of fiscal 2020, international sales totaled $7.0 million, up 3.4% from $6.8 million in the prior year comparative period. International sales represented 25.6% of segment revenue compared to 22.3% of segment revenue in the prior year comparative period. Year-to-date, international sales totaled $19.1 million, an increase of $1.5 million from a year ago. Year-to-date international sales represented 27.7% of segment sales compared to 25.0% in the prior year comparative period. The year-to-date increase in international sales was driven primarily by significant growth in Latin America as a result of the division's investment into the region. The division's commitment to increase its Latin America presence and introduce its market-leading technologies to one of the world's largest ag economies is expected to be a strong contributor to the division's future growth.

• Gross margin. Gross margin decreased from 52.1% in the prior year second quarter to 47.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Year-to-date fiscal 2020 gross margin decreased from 52.3% to 49.7% compared to the prior year comparative period. The year-over-year decrease in profitability for the three- and six-month periods was driven primarily by lower sales volume and a corresponding reduction in operating leverage.

• Operating expenses. Fiscal 2020 second quarter operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was 29.8%, up from 23.1% in the prior year comparative period. Year-to-date operating expense as a percentage of net sales were up from 17.3% to 23.5%. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses for the three- and six-month periods was driven primarily by incremental investments in selling and research and development activities to accelerate the integration and growth of the recently acquired AgSync. Incremental investments are increasing the speed of product integration and adoption into the marketplace. Additionally, prior year operating expenses benefited from favorable legal recoveries which did not repeat in fiscal 2020.

The following factors were the primary drivers of the three- and six-month year-over-year changes:

• Market conditions. The energy market in the second quarter experienced slower demand compared to prior year's second quarter as West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices and Permian Basin rig counts decreased 17 percent and 6 percent year-over-year, respectively. The Company expects energy market related demand for Engineered Films to follow Permian

#25

Basin rig counts in the second half of the year.

• Sales volume and selling prices. Second quarter net sales were $57.5 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 2.3%, compared to fiscal 2019 second quarter net sales of $58.9 million. First half fiscal 2020 net sales were down $17.1 million, or 14.4%, to $101.8 million compared to $118.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2019. A year-over-year decrease in sales volume, as opposed to a decrease in selling price, was the primary driver for the decline in net sales. Sales volume, measured in pounds sold, decreased approximately 3% and 11% year-over-year for the three- and six-month periods ending July 31, 2019, respectively. Included in prior year's first half net sales was $8.9 million of hurricane recovery film sales. Hurricane recovery film sales in the first half of fiscal 2020 was approximately $0.8 million. The division also experienced end-market challenges during the three- and six-month period in the geomembrane market as well as lower than anticipated customer demand in the industrial market.

• Gross margin. For the three-month period ending July 31, 2019 and 2018, gross margin was relatively flat at 22.1% and 21.7%, respectively. For the six-month period ending July 31, 2019 and 2018, gross margin was 21.2% and 23.5%, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in gross margin was driven by lower sales volume including the significant reduction in hurricane recovery film sales and corresponding negative operating leverage.

• Operating expenses. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 4.4% in the current year three-month period as compared to 3.3% in the prior year comparative period. Year-to-date operating expenses were 4.9% as a percentage of net sales as compared to 3.3% in the prior year comparative period. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by higher legal expenses in both the three- and six-month periods.

Aerostar

Aerostar serves the aerospace/defense and commercial lighter-than-air markets. Aerostar's core products include high-altitude stratospheric balloons and radar systems. These products can be integrated with additional third-party sensors to provide research, communications, and situational awareness capabilities to governmental and commercial customers.

(a) At the segment level, operating income does not include an allocation of general and administrative expenses.

The following factors were the primary drivers of the three- and six-month year-over-year changes:

• Market conditions. Aerostar’s business consists of proprietary products and services to the aerospace/defense and commercial lighter-than-air markets. These markets are subject to significant variability in demand due to government spending uncertainties and the timing of contract awards. The Company does not generally model comparative market share position for its divisions, but the Company believes Aerostar has maintained its market share in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2020.

• Sales volume. Net sales decreased 2.4% from $13.5 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2018, to $13.2 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2019. Year-to-date sales were $25.4 million, up $1.0 million year-over-year, or 3.9%. Prior year net sales for the three- and six-month periods included aerostat sales of $3.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Although aerostat sales were immaterial in fiscal 2020, the division was able to drive significant increases in radar and stratospheric balloon sales. Aerostat sales vary significantly from year-to-year as customer demand tends to be inherently inconsistent. The division's aerostat product line is very competitive and can generate above division average margins. The division will continue to supply aerostats as demand requires.

• Gross margin. For the three-month period, gross margin decreased from 44.5% to 42.8% due to unfavorable sales mix. For the six-month period, gross margin increased for the current year from 39.6% to 41.5% due to favorable sales mix.

• Operating expenses. Second quarter fiscal 2020 operating expense was $2.7 million, or 20.5% of net sales, an increase from 16.2% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Year-to-date operating expense as a percentage of net sales was 22.0%, up from 12.4% in the prior year. The division increased operating expenses during the first half of fiscal 2020 to focus on advancing its engineering services and flight operations capabilities and to support a consistent cadence of

#26

fulfilling future contracts. The division has significantly increased its balloon launches during the three- and six-month periods of fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019.

Corporate Expenses (administrative expenses; other (expense), net; and income taxes)

`

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(dollars in thousands)	July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018			July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018
Administrative expenses	$	7,373		$	6,819		$	13,848		$	17,222
Administrative expenses as a % of sales	7.5		%	6.6		%	7.1		%	8.1		%

Effective tax rate	20.0		%	16.8		%	15.5		%	17.9		%

Administrative spending for the three-month period of fiscal 2020 was up $0.6 million compared to fiscal 2019 driven primarily by merger and acquisition (M&A) related activities. Administrative spending for the six-month period of fiscal 2020 was down $3.4 million compared to fiscal 2019 as prior year's spending included an expense of $4.5 million related to a gift to South Dakota State University.

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of activity related to the Company's equity method investments, interest income and expense, and foreign currency transaction gains or losses. There were no significant items in other income (expense), net for the three- and six-month periods in fiscal year 2020. Fiscal 2019 other income (expense), net for the six-month period included a $5.8 million gain on the sale of the Company's equity interest in SST.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, were 20.0% and 16.8%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the six-month periods ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, were15.5% and 17.9%, respectively. The year-over-year change in the effective tax rate for the three- and six-month period was primarily due to the timing of discrete tax items related to the settlement and vesting of equity compensation awards. Refer to Note 13 Income Taxes of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information on these impacts to the effective tax rate.

OUTLOOK

End-market conditions impacting our Applied Technology division during the second quarter were significantly more challenging than expected. Because of this and other challenges experienced in the first half of fiscal 2020, we have updated our previous expectations of achieving year-over-year growth in both sales and division profit for the full-year in each division. These updates are outlined by division below.

Applied Technology experienced challenging conditions in the first half of fiscal 2020 that were far worse than we expected three months ago. These market conditions resulted in a 10 percent decline in sales during the second quarter. As we begin the second half of the year, we expect OEM machine production rates to improve relative to the first half of fiscal 2020, and market share gains from new product growth, international expansion and continued success with recently-acquired AgSync to help offset the challenging U.S. end-market conditions. At this time, we expect the division’s fiscal 2020 second half sales and division profit to exceed the prior year’s second half results. Additionally, we believe our strong OEM relationships and best-in-class technology have positioned us for significant growth and success over the long term.

Engineered Films also had end-market challenges in the first half of fiscal 2020 primarily due to weakness in the Industrial and Geomembrane markets. In addition, the division experienced difficult year-over-year comparisons due to prior year hurricane recovery film sales. However, the division is well positioned to capitalize on the investments it has made over the past two years, and we expect year-over-year sales growth in the second half of this year.

Aerostar continues to achieve new milestones and lead the industry with its stratospheric balloon capabilities. The division showed strength in its core markets during the first half of the year and invested more aggressively in research and development to support long-term growth opportunities. We are excited about the division's future as it continues to invest in both its product and technical service offerings.

While the Company experienced unexpected near-term challenges in the second quarter, the fundamentals of the Company remain very strong and we continue to improve our competitive positioning in each of our operating divisions. We will continue to invest

#27

for the long term through research and development to drive new product innovation, capital equipment to improve and augment our unique production capabilities, and the pursuit and closure of additional strategic acquisitions.

While we will not achieve the growth in sales and division profit in every division this fiscal year as we previously expected, we do expect a stronger second half sales performance for each division, relative to the prior year.

More importantly, we firmly believe we are much better positioned today to face end-market challenges due to the investment discipline we maintained during the previous end-market challenges we experienced. Our disciplined approach to continual investment is supported by the confidence we have in our ability to improve our market-leading positions and drive long-term growth.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's balance sheet continues to reflect significant liquidity and a strong capital base. Management focuses on the current cash balance and operating cash flows in considering liquidity, as operating cash flows have historically been the Company's primary source of liquidity. Management expects that current cash, combined with the generation of positive operating cash flows, will be sufficient to fund the Company's normal operating, investing, and financing activities beyond the next twelve months. Additionally, the Company has a credit facility of up to $125.0 million with a maturity date of April 15, 2020.

The Company’s cash balances and cash flows were as follows:

(dollars in thousands)	July 31, 2019		January 31, 2019		July 31, 2018
Cash and cash equivalents	$	69,131	$	65,787	$	65,439

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(dollars in thousands)	July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018			July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018
Cash provided by operating activities	$	17,398		$	25,049		$	26,160		$	38,652
Cash used in investing activities	(1,237		)	(4,673		)	(3,678		)	(1,488		)
Cash used in financing activities	(8,427		)	(6,082		)	(19,092		)	(11,857		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	27			(172		)	(46		)	(403		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	7,761		$	14,122		$	3,344		$	24,904

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $69.1 million at July 31, 2019, an increase of $3.3 million from $65.8 million at January 31, 2019. The comparable balance as of July 31, 2018 was $65.4 million. The sequential increase in cash was led by the collection of accounts receivable.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was primarily from cash received from customers, which were offset by cash payments for inventories, services, employee compensation, and income taxes. Cash provided by operating activities was $26.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared with $38.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019. The decrease in operating cash flows year-over-year was driven primarily by lower net income and an increase in net working capital requirements.

#28

The Company's cash needs have minimal seasonal trends. As a result, the discussion of trends in operating cash flows focuses on the primary drivers of year-over-year variability in net working capital. Net working capital and net working capital percentage are metrics used by management as a guide in measuring the efficient use of cash resources to support business activities and growth. The Company's net working capital for the comparative periods was as follows:

(dollars in thousands)	July 31, 2019			July 31, 2018
Accounts receivable, net	$	60,700		$	61,348
Plus: Inventories	61,311			55,993
Less: Accounts payable	15,722			14,882
Net working capital(a)	$	106,289		$	102,459
Annualized net sales(b)	392,232			410,736
Net working capital percentage(c)	27.1		%	24.9		%
(a) Net working capital is defined as accounts receivable, (net) plus inventories less accounts payable.
(b) Annualized net sales is defined as the most recent quarter net sales times four for each of the fiscal periods, respectively.
(c) Net working capital percentage is defined as net working capital divided by annualized net sales.

Net working capital percentage deteriorated 220 basis points year-over-year in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in net working capital was led by an increase in inventory within Engineered Films and Applied Technology. Both divisions expected higher sales demand in the second quarter and prepared inventory levels to meet those expectations.

Inventory levels increased $5.3 million, or 9.5%, year-over-year from $56.0 million at July 31, 2018, to $61.3 million at July 31, 2019. In comparison, consolidated net sales decreased $4.6 million, or 4.5%, year-over-year in the second quarter. The increase in inventory was driven by Engineered Films and Applied Technology as each division expected higher sales demand in the second quarter and prepared inventory levels to meet those expectations.

Accounts receivable decreased $0.6 million or 1.1%, year-over-year to $60.7 million at July 31, 2019, from $61.3 million at July 31, 2018. In comparison, consolidated net sales decreased $4.6 million, or 4.5%, year-over-year in the second quarter. Lower sales volume and the timing of cash receipts were the primary drivers of the year-over-year decrease in accounts receivable.

Accounts payable increased $0.8 million, or 5.6%, year-over-year from $14.9 million at July 31, 2018, to $15.7 million at July 31, 2019. The increase in accounts payable year-over-year was primarily due to timing of purchases and cash payments.

Investing Activities

Cash used by investing activities was $3.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared with cash used of $1.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019. The primary driver for the year-over-year change was cash receipts of $6.6 million from the sale of the Company's ownership interest in SST in the prior year. Capital expenditure spending was down $3.1 million compared to the prior year six-month period primarily due to prior year investments related to Engineered Films' new extrusion line (Line 15).

Financing Activities

Cash used for financing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2020 was up $7.2 million compared to the first six months of fiscal 2019. The increase in cash outflows included $5.8 million of share repurchases in the first six months of fiscal 2020. There were no share repurchases in the first six months of fiscal 2019. Dividends per share for the first six months of fiscal 2020 and 2019 were consistent at 26.0 cents per share. Total cash outflows for dividends in the six-month periods ended July 31, 2019, and 2018, were $9.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively.

No borrowing or repayment occurred on the Credit Agreement during the first six months of fiscal 2020 or fiscal 2019.

Other Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated April 15, 2015. This agreement (Credit Agreement), more fully described in Note 10 Financing Arrangements of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, provides for a syndicated senior revolving credit facility up to $125 million with a maturity date of April 15, 2020. There were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement for any of the fiscal periods covered by this Form 10-Q. Availability under the Credit Agreement for borrowings as of July 31, 2019 was $124.7 million. The Company expects to enter into a new credit facility prior to the Credit Agreement maturing in fiscal 2021.

#29

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including those relating to financial reporting and notification, limits on levels of indebtedness and liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, affiliate transactions, sales of assets, restrictive agreements, and change in control as defined in the Credit Agreement. Financial covenants include an interest coverage ratio and funded indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Letters of credit (LOCs) totaling $0.3 million and $0.5 million were outstanding at July 31, 2019 and July 31, 2018, respectively. Any draws required under the LOCs would be settled with available cash or borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes in the Company’s known off-balance sheet debt and other unrecorded obligations since the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, other than item discussed below.

Raven is eligible to receive earn-out payments related to the disposition of Aerostar's client private business and the Company's ownership interest in SST in fiscal 2019 if certain post-closing performance benchmarks are satisfied. The Company will recognize the earn-out payments as income in the period they are realized under the terms of the respective agreement.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, not past or historical events. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "may," "plans," "should," "estimate," "predict," "project," "would," "will," "potential," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The Company intends that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions when made, there is no assurance that such assumptions are correct or that these expectations will be achieved. Assumptions involve important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect results in the future. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to weather conditions, which could affect sales and profitability in some of the Company's primary markets, such as agriculture and construction and oil and gas drilling; or changes in raw material availability, commodity prices, competition, technology or relationships with the Company's largest customers, risks and uncertainties relating to development of new technologies to satisfy customer requirements, possible development of competitive technologies, ability to scale production of new products without negatively impacting quality and cost, risks of operating in foreign markets, risks relating to acquisitions, including risks of integration or unanticipated liabilities or contingencies, and ability to finance investment and net working capital needs for new development projects, any of which could adversely impact any of the Company's product lines, risks of litigation, as well as other risks described in Item 1A., Risk Factors, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The exposure to market risks pertains mainly to changes in interest rates on cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The Company has no outstanding long-term debt but does have an immaterial amount of finance lease obligations as of July 31, 2019 and capital leases as of January 31, 2019. The Company does not expect operating results or cash flows to be significantly affected by changes in interest rates.

The Company's subsidiaries that operate outside the United States use their local currency as the functional currency. The functional currency is translated into U.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using the period-end exchange rates, and average exchange rates for the statement of income. Cash and cash equivalents held in foreign currency (primarily Euros and Canadian dollars) totaled $4.3 million and $4.6 million at July 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, respectively. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are included as cumulative translation adjustments in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" within shareholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are recognized in the period incurred and are included in "Other income (expense), net" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency fluctuations had no material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, the Company does utilize derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on those transactions that are denominated in currency other than its functional currency, which is the U.S. dollar. Such transactions are principally Canadian dollar-denominated transactions. The use of these financial instruments had no material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2019. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on their evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In fiscal year 2018, the Company began a multi-year transition from its legacy enterprise resources planning (ERP) system to a new ERP system. At the start of fiscal year 2020, the Company completed the migration of its Engineered Films Division to the new ERP system. In connection with this implementation, the Company updated the processes that constitute its internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate related changes in its business processes.

The Company believes it has maintained appropriate internal controls during its initial implementation period and will continue to evaluate, test and monitor its internal controls over financial reporting for effectiveness.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly present this financial information have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019.

Financial results for the interim three- and six-month period ended July 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2020. The January 31, 2019, consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required in an annual report on Form 10-K. Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Noncontrolling interests represent capital contributions, income and loss attributable to the owners of less than wholly-owned consolidated entities. The Company owns a 75% interest in an entity consolidated under the Aerostar business segment. Given the Company's controlling financial interest, the accounts of the business venture have been consolidated with the accounts of the Company, and a noncontrolling interest has been recorded for the noncontrolling investor interest in the net assets and operations of the business venture.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, other than described in the Accounting Standards Adopted section below.

Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted

In the fiscal 2020 first quarter, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02), issued in February 2016 and the subsequently-issued codification improvements to Topic 842. The primary difference between previous GAAP and ASU 2016-02 is the recognition of lease assets and liabilities by lessees for leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The guidance requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability (to make lease payments) and a right-of-use asset (representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term) on the balance sheet with terms greater than 12 months. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on a modified retrospective basis for all agreements existing as of February 1, 2019. Prior comparative periods have not been adjusted and continue to be reported and disclosed under ASC Topic 840. This adoption did not have a material impact to the Company. As of February 1, 2019, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset for finance leases and operating leases of $233 and $3,807, respectively and a current and non-current lease liability of $1,446 and $2,571, respectively. As part of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company elected the following practical expedient: short-term recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. Note disclosures required in Topic 842 are reported in Note 11 Leases of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, "Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606" (ASU 2018-18). The amendments in ASU 2018-18 clarify that certain transactions between participants in collaborative arrangements should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with

Customers," and precludes certain transactions that are not with a customer from using Topic 606. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted in any interim period. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the date Topic 606 was adopted. The Company is examining specific collaborative agreements to determine the impact, if any, the new guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.  

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" (ASU 2018-13). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 remove, modify and add disclosures for companies required to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements under Topic 820. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted. Certain amendments in this guidance are required to be applied prospectively, and others are to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to determine the impact the guidance will have on the Company's disclosures for assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASU 2016-13). Current GAAP generally delays recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss is probable of occurring. The amendments in this guidance eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. Previously, when credit losses were measured under GAAP, an entity generally only considered past events and current conditions in measuring the incurred loss. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities may elect to early adopt ASU 2016-13 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13, including all subsequent amendments and improvements to ASC Topic 326 issued by FASB, will have on its consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Income per Share

NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares and fully vested stock units outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding, which includes the shares issuable upon exercise of employee stock options (net of shares assumed purchased with the option proceeds), stock units and restricted stock units outstanding. Performance share awards are included in the diluted calculation based upon what would be issued if the end of the most recent reporting period was the end of the term of the award.

Certain outstanding options and restricted stock units were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculations because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. The options and restricted stock units excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation were as follows:

Contract Balances

Contract balances consist of contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not yet billed for at the reporting date, or retainage provisions on billings that have been issued. Contract liabilities primarily relate to consideration received from customers prior to transferring goods or services to the customer. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in "Accounts receivable, net" and "Other current liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. 

During the six months ended July 31, 2019, the Company’s contract assets and liabilities increased by $2,362 and $401, respectively. The increase was primarily a result of the contract terms which include timing of customer payments, timing of invoicing, and progress made on open contracts. Due to the short-term nature of the Company’s contracts, substantially all contract liabilities are recognized as revenue during the twelve months thereafter. Changes in our contract assets and liabilities were as follows:

	July 31, 2019		January 31, 2019		$ Change		% Change
Contract assets	$	4,389	$	2,027	$	2,362	116.5	%
Contract liabilities	$	1,704	$	1,303	$	401	30.8	%

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of July 31, 2019, the Company did not have any remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more. Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in the prior period during the three- and six-month period ending July 31, 2019, were not material.

Acquisitions and Divestitures of and Investments in Businesses and Technologies

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Acquisitions of and Investments in Businesses and Technologies

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES OF AND INVESTMENTS IN BUSINESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES

Fiscal year 2020

There were no significant business acquisitions and divestitures or purchases of technologies in the three- and six-month period ended July 31, 2019.

Fiscal year 2019

On January 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets ("AgSync Acquisition") of AgSync Inc. ("AgSync"), an Indiana corporation, headquartered in Wakarusa, Indiana. This acquisition is aligned under the Company’s Applied Technology Division and is expected to enhance its Slingshot® platform by delivering a more seamless logistics solution for ag retailers, aerial applicators, custom applicators and enterprise farms. The AgSync Acquisition constitutes a business and, as such, was accounted for as a business combination; however, the business combination was not significant enough to warrant pro-forma financial information.

The purchase price was approximately $9,700, which included potential earn-out payments with an estimated fair value of $2,052. The earn-out is contingent upon achieving certain revenue milestones. The purchase price of the business acquired was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill, which is fully tax deductible. The Company completed the valuation and the purchase price allocation during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. This resulted in an adjustment in the fiscal 2020 first quarter. This increased the purchase price and the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out payments by approximately $300. The goodwill and identifiable intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase price allocation at July 31, 2019, were $4,526 and $5,700, respectively.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Aerostar sold its client private business for $832, which resulted in an immaterial gain in the three-months ended April 30, 2018. In fiscal 2018, Aerostar actively marketed the sale of its client private business and as such, classified it as held for sale.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company sold its ownership interest of approximately 22% in Site-Specific Technology Development Group, Inc. (SST) with a carrying value of $1,937. This investment was being accounted for as an equity method investment. Raven received $6,556 in cash at closing which was reported as "Proceeds from sale or maturity of investments" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of $5,785 for the three-months ended April 30, 2018. The gain was reported in "Other income (expense), net" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The gain included a fifteen percent hold-back provision held in an escrow account which was received in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Acquisition-related Contingent Consideration

The Company has contingent liabilities related to the acquisition of AgSync in fiscal 2019 as well as prior acquisitions of Colorado Lining International, Inc. (CLI) in fiscal 2018; Raven Europe B.V. (Raven Europe), formerly named SBG Innovatie BV and its affiliate, Navtronics BVBA (collectively, SBG), in fiscal 2015; and Aerostar Technical Solutions, Inc. (ATS), formerly named Vista Research, Inc. (Vista), completed in fiscal 2012. The fair value of such contingent consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date, and subsequently at the end of each reporting period, using forecasted cash flows. Projecting future cash flows

requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future events, conditions, or revenues being achieved under the subject contingent agreement as well as the appropriate discount rate. Such valuation techniques include one or more significant inputs that are not observable (Level 3 fair value measures).

Changes in the fair value of the liability for acquisition-related contingent consideration are as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Balance at July 31	$	3,579		$	2,950		$	3,579		$	2,950

For the AgSync Acquisition, the Company entered into a contingent earn-out agreement, not to exceed $3,500. The earn-out is to be paid annually over three years after the purchase date, contingent upon achieving certain revenue milestones. The Company has made no payments on this potential earn-out liability as of July 31, 2019.

In the acquisition of CLI, the Company entered into a contingent earn-out agreement, not to exceed $2,000. The earn-out is paid annually for three years after the purchase date, contingent upon achieving certain revenue milestones and operational synergies. To date, the Company has paid a total of $667 of this potential earn-out liability.

In connection with the acquisition of Raven Europe, the Company entered into a contingent earn-out agreement, not to exceed $2,500, calculated and paid quarterly for ten years after the purchase date, contingent upon achieving certain revenue milestones. To date, the Company has paid a total of $2,090 of this potential earn-out liability.

Related to the acquisition of ATS in 2012, the Company was committed to making annual payments based upon earn-out percentages on specific revenue streams for seven years after the purchase date. The Company made the final payment in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and has no further contingent obligations related to acquisition of ATS.

Goodwill Impairment Loss and Other Charges

GOODWILL, LONG-LIVED ASSETS, AND OTHER CHARGES

Goodwill

Management assesses goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and between annual tests whenever a triggering event indicates there may be an impairment. Impairment tests of goodwill are done at the reporting unit level. There were no goodwill impairment losses reported in the three- and six-month periods ending July 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit were as follows:

	Applied Technology			Engineered Films		Aerostar		Total

Balance at July 31, 2019	$	16,961		$	33,232	$	634	$	50,827

Long-lived Assets and Other Intangibles

The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles and property plant and equipment, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. For long-lived and intangible assets, management performs impairment reviews by asset group. Management periodically assesses for triggering events and discusses any significant changes in the utilization of long-lived assets. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived

asset is grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.

When performing long-lived asset testing, the fair values of assets are determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information. Such valuations are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable (Level 3 fair value measures). An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Fiscal 2020 and 2019

The following table provides the gross carrying amount and related accumulated amortization of definite-lived intangible assets:

	July 31, 2019							January 31, 2019

Leases [Abstract]

Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]

LEASES

The Company enters into operating and finance lease contracts related to facilities, vehicles and equipment. Operating leases are primarily related to facilities to support production, research and development, and sales efforts. Finance leases are primarily related to vehicles and equipment to support general business operations. Lease payments are typically fixed and carry lease terms of one to six years, some of which have an option to terminate or extend up to an additional ten years. For purposes of the quantitative disclosures below related to the calculation of operating and finance leases, lease terms did not include options to terminate or extend, as the Company is reasonably certain it would not exercise the options. Most of the Company's leases do not contain a purchase option, material residual value guarantee, or material restrictive covenants.

The Company is primarily a lessee in all lease arrangements but may become a lessor and lease or sublease certain assets to other entities if not fully utilized. These lessor activities are not material and are not separately disclosed.

To determine whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assessed its right to control the use of the identified asset, whether explicitly or implicitly stated, for a period of time while considering all facts and circumstances for each individual arrangement. The Company also has leases with non-lease components which are separately stated within the agreement and not included in the recognition of the right-of use asset and lease liability balances.

The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the lease liabilities is based upon the implied rate within each contract. If the rate is unknown or cannot be determined, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate, which is determined by the length of the contract, asset class, and the Company's borrowing rates as of the commencement date of the contract.

Components of Company lease costs, including operating, finance, and short-term leases are included in the table below. Depreciation of right-of-use assets, operating leases cost, and short-term lease costs are reported in net income as "Cost of sales," "Research and development expenses," or "Selling, general, and administrative expenses," depending on what business function the asset primarily supports. Interest on lease liabilities are classified as a non-operating expense in "Other income (expense), net" on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved as a party in lawsuits, claims, regulatory inquiries, or disputes arising in the normal course of its business; potential costs and liabilities of which cannot be determined at this time. Management does not believe the ultimate outcomes of its legal proceedings are likely to be material to its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In addition, the Company has insurance policies that provide coverage to various degrees for potential liabilities arising from legal proceedings.

The Company entered into a Gift Agreement ("the Agreement") effective in January 2018 with the South Dakota State University Foundation, Inc. ("the Foundation"). This gift will be used by South Dakota State University (SDSU), located in Brookings, SD, for the establishment of a precision agriculture facility to support SDSU's Precision Agriculture degrees and curriculum. This facility will assist the Company in further collaboration with faculty, staff and students on emerging technology in support of the growing need for precision agriculture practices and tools.

The Agreement states that the Company will make a $5,000 gift to the Foundation, conditional on certain actions. Management concluded that the contingencies related to this gift were substantially met during the three-month period ended April 30, 2018, and a liability had been incurred. As such, $4,503 of selling, general, and administrative expense was recognized in the three-month period ending April 30, 2018, with interest expense to be recognized in periods thereafter. The fair value of this contingency at July 31, 2019, was $3,261 (measured based on the present value of the expected future cash outflows), of which $704 was classified as "Accrued liabilities" and $2,557 was classified as "Other liabilities." As of July 31, 2019, the Company has made payments related to the commitment totaling $1,430.

In addition to commitments disclosed elsewhere in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has other unconditional purchase obligations that arise in the normal course of business operations. The majority of these obligations are related to the purchase of raw material inventory for the Applied Technology and Engineered Films divisions.

Segment Reporting

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company's operating segments, which are also its reportable segments, are defined by their product lines which have been generally grouped based on technology, manufacturing processes, and end-use application. The Company's reportable segments are Applied Technology Division, Engineered Films Division, and Aerostar Division. Separate financial information is available for each reportable segment and regularly evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision-maker, the President and Chief Executive Officer, in making resource allocation decisions for the Company's reportable segments. The Company measures the performance of its segments based on their operating income excluding administrative and general expenses. Other income, interest expense, and income taxes are not allocated to individual operating segments. Segment information is reported consistent with the Company's management reporting structure.

Business segment financial performance and other information is as follows:

New Accounting Standards [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]

Accounting Standards Adopted

In the fiscal 2020 first quarter, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02), issued in February 2016 and the subsequently-issued codification improvements to Topic 842. The primary difference between previous GAAP and ASU 2016-02 is the recognition of lease assets and liabilities by lessees for leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The guidance requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability (to make lease payments) and a right-of-use asset (representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term) on the balance sheet with terms greater than 12 months. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on a modified retrospective basis for all agreements existing as of February 1, 2019. Prior comparative periods have not been adjusted and continue to be reported and disclosed under ASC Topic 840. This adoption did not have a material impact to the Company. As of February 1, 2019, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset for finance leases and operating leases of $233 and $3,807, respectively and a current and non-current lease liability of $1,446 and $2,571, respectively. As part of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company elected the following practical expedient: short-term recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. Note disclosures required in Topic 842 are reported in Note 11 Leases of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, "Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606" (ASU 2018-18). The amendments in ASU 2018-18 clarify that certain transactions between participants in collaborative arrangements should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with

Customers," and precludes certain transactions that are not with a customer from using Topic 606. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted in any interim period. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the date Topic 606 was adopted. The Company is examining specific collaborative agreements to determine the impact, if any, the new guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.  

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" (ASU 2018-13). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 remove, modify and add disclosures for companies required to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements under Topic 820. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted. Certain amendments in this guidance are required to be applied prospectively, and others are to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to determine the impact the guidance will have on the Company's disclosures for assets and liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASU 2016-13). Current GAAP generally delays recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss is probable of occurring. The amendments in this guidance eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. Previously, when credit losses were measured under GAAP, an entity generally only considered past events and current conditions in measuring the incurred loss. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities may elect to early adopt ASU 2016-13 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13, including all subsequent amendments and improvements to ASC Topic 326 issued by FASB, will have on its consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.
