Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

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 and defense markets. The Company is comprised of three unique operating units, or divisions, classified into reportable business 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, 2021.

Financial results for the interim three and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2022. The January 31, 2021, 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.

Proposed Transaction with CNH Industrial N.V.

On June 20, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with CNH Industrial N.V., a Netherlands public limited liability company (“CNH Industrial”). Under the terms of the agreement, CNH Industrial will acquire 100% of the capital stock of Raven for $58.00 per share. The merger is subject to shareholder approval, as well as to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022.

The Company incurred $4,863 and $5,163 of merger-related expenses in the three- and six-month period ended July 31, 2021. These costs relate primarily to professional service fees in connection with the proposed merger. The costs incurred are reported as "Selling, general, and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Risks and Uncertainties (COVID-19)

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, an unfavorable impact on certain areas of the Company's business. Economic conditions have continued to improve during the six-months ended July 31, 2021, however, the broader implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's financial condition and results of operations remain uncertain, and will depend on certain developments, including the effectiveness of vaccines to address the COVID-19 virus, as well as potential variants or further spread of the virus. The pandemic's ongoing impact to the Company's customers and suppliers remains uncertain. The Company may continue to experience supply chain constraints that hampers the Company's ability to fulfill orders on time or reduced customer demand in certain markets could materially and adversely impact business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company acquired a majority ownership in Dot Technology Corp. (DOT) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. DOT, located in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, designs autonomous agriculture solutions and manufactures an agriculture platform to semi-autonomously handle a large variety of agriculture implements. The acquisition provided noncontrolling interest shareholders various put options that, if exercised, obligated the Company to purchase their outstanding DOT shares. Due to the redemption features provided to the minority shareholders in the acquisition, the 36% remaining noncontrolling interest was classified as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2020. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company closed on the transaction to purchase the shares of the largest minority interest shareholder for $17,853, giving the Company full voting control of DOT. The remaining redeemable amount, as well as

the liability for the noncontrolling interest redeemed in fiscal year 2020, totaling approximately $5,352, is payable in November 2021 and is classified as "Accrued Liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 2021.
