NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts) (Unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, or “Applied”) as of March 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Operating results for the nine month period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

Inventory

The Company uses the LIFO method of valuing U.S. inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory determination. LIFO expense of $4,758 and $8,205 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $12,726 and $26,118 in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is recorded in cost of sales in the condensed statements of consolidated income.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In December 2023, the FASB issued its final standard to improve income tax disclosures. This standard, issued as ASU 2023-09, requires public business entities to annually disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued its final standard to improve reportable segment disclosures. This standard, issued as ASU 2023-07, requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, enhanced interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contains other disclosure requirements. This update is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with the interim disclosure requirements being effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2023, the SEC issued a final rule to require registrants to provide enhanced and standardized disclosures regarding cybersecurity risk management, strategy, governance, and incidents. The final rule establishes new requirements related to material cybersecurity incidents, which would need to be disclosed on Form 8-K within four business days of their being deemed material, and annual disclosures in Form 10-K pertaining to (1) cybersecurity risk management and strategy, (2) management's role in assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, and (3) the board of directors' oversight of cybersecurity risks. The Form 10-K disclosures are due beginning with annual reports for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2023, and the Form 8-K disclosures were due beginning December 18, 2023. The Company is complying with the disclosure requirements set forth in the final rule as each becomes effective.

Other, primarily currency translation	(443)		—		(443)
Balance at March 31, 2024	$	220,277	$	368,436	$	588,713

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an adjustment to the preliminary estimated fair value of

intangible assets related to the AMS acquisition. The fair value of the trade name was reduced by $1,249, with a

corresponding increase to goodwill of $1,249. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an adjustment to the preliminary estimated fair value of intangible assets related to the BDI acquisition. The fair value of the trade name was reduced by $2,130, and the fair value of the customer relationship was increased by $70, with a corresponding combined increase to goodwill of $2,060.

The Company has eight (8) reporting units for which an annual goodwill impairment assessment was performed as of January 1, 2024.  Based on the assessment performed, the Company concluded that the fair value of all of the reporting units exceeded their carrying amount as of January 1, 2024, therefore no impairment exists.

At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, accumulated goodwill impairment losses subsequent to fiscal year 2002 totaled $64,794 related to the Service Center Based Distribution segment and $167,605 related to the Engineered Solutions segment.

Revolving Credit Facility & Term Loan

In December 2021, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility with a group of banks to refinance the existing credit facility as well as provide funds for ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes. The revolving credit facility provides a $900,000 unsecured revolving credit facility and an uncommitted accordion feature which allows the Company to request an increase in the borrowing commitments, or incremental term loans, under the credit facility in aggregate principal amounts of up to $500,000. In May 2023, the Company and the administrative agent entered into an amendment to the credit facility to replace LIBOR as a reference rate available for use in the computation of interest and replace it with SOFR. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, at the Company's election, at either the base rate plus a margin that ranges from 0 to 55 basis points based on net leverage ratio or SOFR plus a margin that ranges from 80 to 155 basis points based on the net leverage ratio. Unused lines under this facility, net of outstanding letters of credit of $200 to secure certain insurance obligations, totaled $516,208 at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, and were available to fund future acquisitions or other capital and operating requirements. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 6.23% and 6.11% as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Additionally, the Company had letters of credit outstanding with separate banks, not associated with the revolving credit agreement, in the amount of $4,046 as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 in order to secure certain insurance obligations.

Trade Receivable Securitization Facility

In August 2018, the Company established a trade receivable securitization facility (the “AR Securitization Facility”). On March 26, 2021, the Company amended the AR Securitization Facility to expand the eligible receivables, which increased the maximum availability to $250,000 and increased the fees on the AR Securitization Facility to 0.98% per year. On August 4, 2023, the Company amended the AR Securitization Facility, extended the term to August 4, 2026, and reduced the drawn fees to 0.90% per year. Availability is further subject to changes in the credit ratings of our

customers, customer concentration levels or certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred and, therefore, at certain times, we may not be able to fully access the $250,000 of funding available under the AR Securitization Facility. The AR Securitization Facility effectively increases the Company’s borrowing capacity by collateralizing a portion of the amount of the U.S. operations’ trade accounts receivable. The Company uses the proceeds from the AR Securitization Facility as an alternative to other forms of debt, effectively reducing borrowing costs. In May 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the AR Securitization Facility to replace LIBOR as a reference rate available for use in the computation of interest and replace it with SOFR, therefore borrowings under this facility carry variable interest rates tied to SOFR. The interest rate on the AR Securitization Facility as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was 6.33% and 6.16%, respectively.

Unsecured Shelf Facility

At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company had borrowings outstanding under its unsecured shelf facility agreement with Prudential Investment Management of $25,000 and $50,000, respectively. Fees on this facility range from 0.25% to 1.25% per year based on the Company's leverage ratio at each quarter end. The "Series D" notes carried a fixed interest rate of 3.21%, and the remaining principal balance of $25,000 was paid in October 2023. The “Series E” notes have a principal amount of $25,000, carry a fixed interest rate of 3.08%, and are due in October 2024.

Other Long-Term Borrowing

In 2014, the Company assumed $2,359 of debt as a part of the headquarters facility acquisition. The 1.50% fixed interest rate note is held by the State of Ohio Development Services Agency, and matures in November 2024.

6.     DERIVATIVES

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into interest expense, net in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.

In January 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to mitigate variability in forecasted interest payments on $463,000 of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated unsecured variable rate debt. The notional amount declines over time. The interest rate swap effectively converts a portion of the floating rate interest payment into a fixed rate interest payment. The Company designated the interest rate swap as a pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap instrument and is accounting for this derivative as a cash flow hedge. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed a transaction to amend and extend the interest rate swap agreement which resulted in an extension of the maturity date by an additional three years and a decrease of the weighted average fixed pay rate from 2.61% to 1.63%. The pay-fixed interest rate swap is considered a hybrid instrument with a financing component and an embedded at-market derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge. In May 2023, the Company entered into bilaterial agreements with its swap counterparties to transition its interest rate swap agreements to SOFR, and further decreased the weighted average fixed pay rate to 1.58%. The Company made various Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848 elections related to changes in critical terms of the hedging relationship due to reference rate

reform to not result in a dedesignation of the hedging relationship. As of May 31, 2023, the Company's interest rate swap agreement was indexed to SOFR.

The interest rate swap converted approximately $384,000 of variable rate debt to a rate of 2.48% as of March 31, 2024 and to a rate of 2.59% as of June 30, 2023. The fair value (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) of the interest rate cash flow hedge was $20,035 and $27,044 as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, which is included in other current assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income, before tax, to interest expense, net totaled $(4,671) and $(3,036) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $(14,024) and $(2,955) for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

7.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Marketable securities measured at fair value at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 totaled $22,405 and $18,637, respectively. The majority of these marketable securities are held in a rabbi trust for a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The marketable securities are included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and their fair values were determined using quoted market prices (Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy).

As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the carrying values of the Company's fixed interest rate debt outstanding under its unsecured shelf facility agreement with Prudential Investment Management approximated fair value (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). The revolving credit facility and the AR Securitization Facility contain variable interest rates and their carrying values approximate fair value (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

With more than 6,300 employees across North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, Applied Industrial Technologies (“Applied,” the “Company,” “We,” “Us” or “Our”) is a leading value-added distributor and technical solutions provider of industrial motion, fluid power, flow control, automation technologies, and related maintenance supplies. Our leading brands, specialized services, and comprehensive knowledge serve MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Operations) and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) end users in virtually all industrial markets through our multi-channel capabilities that provide choice, convenience, and expertise. We have a long tradition of growth dating back to 1923, the year our business was founded in Cleveland, Ohio. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, business was conducted in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore from 586 facilities.

The following is Management's Discussion and Analysis of significant factors which have affected our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of consolidated income, consolidated comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows. When reviewing the discussion and analysis set forth below, please note that the majority of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) we sell in any given period were not necessarily sold in the comparable period of the prior year, resulting in the inability to quantify certain commonly used comparative metrics analyzing sales, such as changes in product mix and volume.

Overview

Consolidated sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased $14.4 million or 1.3% compared to the prior year quarter, with acquisitions increasing sales by $13.1 million or 1.2% and favorable foreign currency translation of $2.5 million increasing sales by 0.2%. The Company had operating income of $121.2 million, or operating margin of 10.6% of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to an operating income of $126.9 million, or operating margin of 11.2% of sales for the same quarter in the prior year. The Company had net income of $97.2 million for both the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and in the prior year. The current ratio was 3.8 to 1 at March 31, 2024 and 3.0 to 1 at June 30, 2023.

Applied monitors several economic indices that have been key indicators for industrial economic activity in the United States. These include the Industrial Production (IP) and Manufacturing Capacity Utilization (MCU) indices published by the Federal Reserve Board and the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) published by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). Historically, our performance correlates well with the MCU, which measures productivity and calculates a ratio of actual manufacturing output versus potential full capacity output. When manufacturing plants are running at a high rate of capacity, they tend to wear out machinery and require replacement parts.

The MCU (total industry) index decreased since December 2023, while the IP index increased since December 2023. The MCU for March 2024 was 78.4, which is down from the December and June 2023 revised readings of 78.7 and 78.9, respectively. The ISM PMI registered 50.3 in March, up from both the December 2023 reading of 47.1 and the June 2023 reading of 46.4. The indices for the months during the current quarter, along with the indices for the prior fiscal year end and prior quarter end, were as follows:

	Index Reading
Month	MCU	PMI	IP
March 2024	78.4	50.3	99.9
February 2024	78.2	47.8	99.4
January 2024	77.9	49.1	98.2
December 2023	78.7	47.1	99.4
June 2023	78.9	46.4	99.1

The number of Company employees was 6,350 at March 31, 2024, 6,223 at June 30, 2023, and 6,184 at March 31, 2023. The number of operating facilities totaled 586 at March 31, 2024, 577 at June 30, 2023, and 567 at March 31, 2023.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, sales increased $14.4 million or 1.3% compared to the prior year quarter, with sales from acquisitions adding $13.1 million or 1.2%, and favorable foreign currency translation accounting for a increase of $2.5 million or 0.2%. There were 63.5 selling days in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and 64 selling days in the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Excluding the impact of businesses acquired and foreign currency translation, sales were down $1.2 million or 0.1% during the quarter, reflecting an increase from operations of 0.7% led by growth in our core Service Center operations as our technical industry position and internal initiatives are augmenting steady break-fix demand, offset by a 0.8% decrease due to the change in sales days.

The following table shows changes in sales by reportable segment (amounts in millions).

Sales by Reportable Segment	Three Months Ended March 31,				Sales Increase (Decrease)		Amount of change due to
									Foreign Currency		Organic Change
	2024		2023				Acquisitions

Acquisitions within this segment increased sales by $11.7 million or 1.5% and favorable foreign currency translation increased sales by $2.5 million or 0.3%. Excluding the impact of businesses acquired and foreign currency translation, sales increased $13.6 million or 1.8%, driven by an increase of 2.6% from operations due to benefits from market position, sales process initiatives, and firm demand for technical MRO support across the U.S. manufacturing sector, offset by a 0.8% decrease due to the change in sales days.

Sales from our Engineered Solutions segment decreased $13.4 million or 3.6%. Acquisitions within this segment increased sales by $1.4 million or 0.4%. Excluding the impact of businesses acquired, sales decreased $14.8 million or 4.0%, driven by a decrease of 3.2% from operations primarily as a result of ongoing declines within automation operations and lower fluid power sales, in addition to a 0.8% decrease due to the change in sales days. The decrease in sales was moderated by stronger growth across process flow control markets.

Interest expense, net decreased $13.9 million from the prior year period primarily due to reduced debt levels and greater interest income from higher cash balances and investment yields.

Other (income) expense, net was income of $4.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, which included unrealized gains on investments held by non-qualified deferred compensation trusts of $3.0 million, net favorable foreign currency

transaction gains of $0.5 million, and life insurance income of $0.8 million, offset by $0.1 million of other expense. During the prior year period, other (income) expense, net was expense of $1.6 million, which included foreign currency transaction losses of $2.2 million and other periodic post-employment of $1.4 million, primarily offset by unrealized gains on investments held by non-qualified deferred compensation trusts of $1.2 million and life insurance income of $0.6 million.

The effective income tax rate was 21.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 22.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the reversal of a tax valuation allowance related to Mexico during the nine months ended March 31, 2024, as well as compensation-related deductions during the nine months ended March 31, 2024. We expect our full year tax rate for fiscal 2024 to be in the 22.0% to 23.0% range.

As a result of the factors addressed above, net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 increased $27.7 million compared to the prior year period. Net income was $7.18 per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $6.49 per share in the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of capital is cash flow from operations, supplemented as necessary by bank borrowings or other sources of debt. At March 31, 2024, we had total debt obligations outstanding of $597.1 million compared to $622.2 million at June 30, 2023. Management expects that our existing cash, cash equivalents, funds available under the revolving credit facility, and cash provided from operations will be sufficient to finance normal working capital needs in each of the countries in which we operate, payment of dividends, acquisitions, investments in properties, facilities and equipment, debt service, and the purchase of additional Company common stock. Management also believes that additional long-term debt and line of credit financing could be obtained based on the Company's credit standing and financial strength.

The Company's working capital at March 31, 2024 was $1,299.3 million, compared to $1,106.5 million at June 30, 2023. The current ratio was 3.8 to 1 at March 31, 2024 and 3.0 to 1 at June 30, 2023.

Net Cash Flows

The following table is included to aid in review of Applied's condensed statements of consolidated cash flows (amounts in thousands).

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
Net Cash Provided by (Used in):	2024		2023
Operating Activities	$	252,159	$	164,027
Investing Activities	(38,280)		(56,250)
Financing Activities	(101,176)		(111,526)
Exchange Rate Effect	(206)		1,402
Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	112,497	$	(2,347)

The increase in cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 is driven by increased operating results and by changes in working capital during the period. Changes in working capital between periods caused a $64.7 million increase in cash provided by operating activities, driven by (amounts in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Accounts Receivable	$	1,736	$	(49,209)
Inventories	(911)		(72,249)
Accounts payable	(30,991)		13,014

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 decreased from the prior period primarily due to $21.4 million used for the acquisitions of Cangro Industries, Inc. and Bearing Distributors, Inc. in the current year compared to $35.7 million used for the acquisitions of Automation, Inc. and Advanced Motion Systems Inc., in the prior year period.

Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 decreased from the prior year period primarily due to a change in net debt activity, as there were $25.2 million of debt payments in the current year compared to $67.2 million in the prior year period. This was offset by $28.9 million of cash being used for the purchase of treasury shares during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $0.7 million used in the prior year period.

Revolving Credit Facility & Term Loan

In December 2021, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility with a group of banks to refinance the existing credit facility as well as provide funds for ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes. The revolving credit facility provides a $900.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and an uncommitted accordion feature which allows the Company to request an increase in the borrowing commitments, or incremental term loans, under the credit facility in aggregate principal amounts of up to $500.0 million. In May 2023, the Company and the administrative agent entered into an amendment to the credit facility to replace LIBOR as a reference rate available for use in the computation of interest and replace it with SOFR. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, at the Company's election, at either the base rate plus a margin that ranges from 0 to 55 basis points based on net leverage ratio or SOFR plus a margin that ranges from 80 to 155 basis points based on the net leverage ratio. Unused lines under this facility, net of outstanding letters of credit of $0.2 million to secure certain insurance obligations, totaled $516.2 million at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, and were available to fund future acquisitions or other capital and operating requirements. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 6.23% and 6.11% as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Additionally, the Company had letters of credit outstanding with separate banks, not associated with the revolving credit agreement, in the amount of $4.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 in order to secure certain insurance obligations.

Trade Receivable Securitization Facility

In August 2018, the Company established a trade receivable securitization facility (the “AR Securitization Facility”). On March 26, 2021, the Company amended the AR Securitization Facility to expand the eligible receivables, which increased the maximum availability to $250.0 million and increased the fees on the AR Securitization Facility to 0.98% per year. On August 4, 2023, the Company amended the AR Securitization Facility, extended the term to August 4, 2026, and reduced the drawn fees to 0.90% per year. Availability is further subject to changes in the credit ratings of our customers, customer concentration levels or certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred and, therefore, at certain times, we may not be able to fully access the $250.0 million of funding available under the AR Securitization Facility. The AR Securitization Facility effectively increases the Company’s borrowing capacity by collateralizing a portion of the amount of the U.S. operations’ trade accounts receivable. The Company uses the proceeds from the AR Securitization Facility as an alternative to other forms of debt, effectively reducing borrowing costs. In May 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the AR Securitization Facility to replace LIBOR as a reference rate available for use in the computation of interest and replace it with SOFR, therefore borrowings under this facility carry variable interest rates tied to SOFR. The interest rate on the AR Securitization Facility as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was 6.33% and 6.16%, respectively.

Unsecured Shelf Facility

At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company had borrowings outstanding under its unsecured shelf facility agreement with Prudential Investment Management of $25.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively. Fees on this facility range from 0.25% to 1.25% per year based on the Company's leverage ratio at each quarter end. The "Series D" notes carried a fixed interest rate of 3.21%, and the remaining principal balance of $25.0 million was paid in October 2023. The “Series E” notes have a principal amount of $25.0 million, carry a fixed interest rate of 3.08%, and are due in October 2024.

Other Long-Term Borrowing

In 2014, the Company assumed $2.4 million of debt as a part of the headquarters facility acquisition. The 1.50% fixed interest rate note is held by the State of Ohio Development Services Agency, and matures in November 2024.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap which mitigates variability in forecasted interest payments on $384.0 million of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated unsecured variable rate debt. For more information, see note 6, Derivatives, to the consolidated financial statements, included in Item 1 under the caption “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

The credit facility and the unsecured shelf facility contain restrictive covenants regarding liquidity, net worth, financial ratios, and other covenants. At March 31, 2024, the most restrictive of these covenants required that the Company have net indebtedness less than 3.75 times consolidated income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined). At March 31, 2024, the Company's net indebtedness was less than 0.4 times consolidated income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined). The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at March 31, 2024.

Accounts Receivable Analysis

The following table is included to aid in analysis of accounts receivable and the associated provision for losses on accounts receivable (amounts in thousands):

							March 31,			June 30,
							2024			2023
Accounts receivable, gross							$	724,870		$	730,729
Allowance for doubtful accounts							14,675			22,334
Accounts receivable, net							$	710,195		$	708,395
Allowance for doubtful accounts, % of gross receivables							2.0		%	3.1		%
	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Provision for losses on accounts receivable	$	(25)		$	(4,897)		$	1,001		$	4,676
Provision as a % of net sales	—		%	(0.43)		%	0.03		%	0.14		%

Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value and consist of trade receivables from customers. Management monitors accounts receivable by reviewing Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and the aging of receivables for each of the Company's locations.

On a consolidated basis, DSO was 55.8 at March 31, 2024 compared to 55.1 June 30, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, approximately 1.8% of our accounts receivable balances are more than 90 days past due, compared to 2.5% at June 30, 2023. On an overall basis, our provision for losses on accounts receivable represents 0.03% of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 0.14% of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease primarily relates to provisions recorded in the prior year for customer credit deterioration and bankruptcies primarily in the U.S. operations of the Service Center Based Distribution segment, as well as improved collections performance. Historically, this percentage is around 0.10% to 0.15%. Management believes the overall receivables aging and provision for losses on accounts receivable are at reasonable levels.

Inventory Analysis

Inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for U.S. inventories and the average cost method for foreign inventories.  Management uses an inventory turnover ratio to monitor and evaluate inventory.  Management calculates this ratio on an annual as well as a quarterly basis, and believes that using average costs to determine the inventory turnover ratio instead of LIFO costs provides a more useful analysis.  The annualized inventory turnover based on average costs was 4.3 for the period ended March 31, 2024 and 4.4 for the period ended June 30, 2023.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”, or “Applied”) as of March 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Operating results for the nine month period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

Inventory

The Company uses the LIFO method of valuing U.S. inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory determination. LIFO expense of $4,758 and $8,205 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $12,726 and $26,118 in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is recorded in cost of sales in the condensed statements of consolidated income.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In December 2023, the FASB issued its final standard to improve income tax disclosures. This standard, issued as ASU 2023-09, requires public business entities to annually disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued its final standard to improve reportable segment disclosures. This standard, issued as ASU 2023-07, requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, enhanced interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contains other disclosure requirements. This update is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with the interim disclosure requirements being effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2023, the SEC issued a final rule to require registrants to provide enhanced and standardized disclosures regarding cybersecurity risk management, strategy, governance, and incidents. The final rule establishes new requirements related to material cybersecurity incidents, which would need to be disclosed on Form 8-K within four business days of their being deemed material, and annual disclosures in Form 10-K pertaining to (1) cybersecurity risk management and strategy, (2) management's role in assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, and (3) the board of directors' oversight of cybersecurity risks. The Form 10-K disclosures are due beginning with annual reports for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2023, and the Form 8-K disclosures were due beginning December 18, 2023. The Company is complying with the disclosure requirements set forth in the final rule as each becomes effective.

Contract Assets

The Company’s contract assets consist of un-billed amounts resulting from contracts for which revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method, and for which revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer.

Activity related to contract assets, which are included in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, is as follows:

	March 31, 2024		June 30, 2023		$ Change		% Change
Contract assets	$	15,125	$	17,911	$	(2,786)	(15.6)	%

The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company's contract assets primarily results from the timing difference between the Company's performance and when the customer is billed.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an adjustment to the preliminary estimated fair value of

intangible assets related to the AMS acquisition. The fair value of the trade name was reduced by $1,249, with a

corresponding increase to goodwill of $1,249. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an adjustment to the preliminary estimated fair value of intangible assets related to the BDI acquisition. The fair value of the trade name was reduced by $2,130, and the fair value of the customer relationship was increased by $70, with a corresponding combined increase to goodwill of $2,060.

The Company has eight (8) reporting units for which an annual goodwill impairment assessment was performed as of January 1, 2024.  Based on the assessment performed, the Company concluded that the fair value of all of the reporting units exceeded their carrying amount as of January 1, 2024, therefore no impairment exists.

At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, accumulated goodwill impairment losses subsequent to fiscal year 2002 totaled $64,794 related to the Service Center Based Distribution segment and $167,605 related to the Engineered Solutions segment.

Revolving Credit Facility & Term Loan

In December 2021, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility with a group of banks to refinance the existing credit facility as well as provide funds for ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes. The revolving credit facility provides a $900,000 unsecured revolving credit facility and an uncommitted accordion feature which allows the Company to request an increase in the borrowing commitments, or incremental term loans, under the credit facility in aggregate principal amounts of up to $500,000. In May 2023, the Company and the administrative agent entered into an amendment to the credit facility to replace LIBOR as a reference rate available for use in the computation of interest and replace it with SOFR. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest, at the Company's election, at either the base rate plus a margin that ranges from 0 to 55 basis points based on net leverage ratio or SOFR plus a margin that ranges from 80 to 155 basis points based on the net leverage ratio. Unused lines under this facility, net of outstanding letters of credit of $200 to secure certain insurance obligations, totaled $516,208 at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, and were available to fund future acquisitions or other capital and operating requirements. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 6.23% and 6.11% as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Additionally, the Company had letters of credit outstanding with separate banks, not associated with the revolving credit agreement, in the amount of $4,046 as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 in order to secure certain insurance obligations.

Trade Receivable Securitization Facility

In August 2018, the Company established a trade receivable securitization facility (the “AR Securitization Facility”). On March 26, 2021, the Company amended the AR Securitization Facility to expand the eligible receivables, which increased the maximum availability to $250,000 and increased the fees on the AR Securitization Facility to 0.98% per year. On August 4, 2023, the Company amended the AR Securitization Facility, extended the term to August 4, 2026, and reduced the drawn fees to 0.90% per year. Availability is further subject to changes in the credit ratings of our

customers, customer concentration levels or certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred and, therefore, at certain times, we may not be able to fully access the $250,000 of funding available under the AR Securitization Facility. The AR Securitization Facility effectively increases the Company’s borrowing capacity by collateralizing a portion of the amount of the U.S. operations’ trade accounts receivable. The Company uses the proceeds from the AR Securitization Facility as an alternative to other forms of debt, effectively reducing borrowing costs. In May 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the AR Securitization Facility to replace LIBOR as a reference rate available for use in the computation of interest and replace it with SOFR, therefore borrowings under this facility carry variable interest rates tied to SOFR. The interest rate on the AR Securitization Facility as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was 6.33% and 6.16%, respectively.

Unsecured Shelf Facility

At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Company had borrowings outstanding under its unsecured shelf facility agreement with Prudential Investment Management of $25,000 and $50,000, respectively. Fees on this facility range from 0.25% to 1.25% per year based on the Company's leverage ratio at each quarter end. The "Series D" notes carried a fixed interest rate of 3.21%, and the remaining principal balance of $25,000 was paid in October 2023. The “Series E” notes have a principal amount of $25,000, carry a fixed interest rate of 3.08%, and are due in October 2024.

Other Long-Term Borrowing

In 2014, the Company assumed $2,359 of debt as a part of the headquarters facility acquisition. The 1.50% fixed interest rate note is held by the State of Ohio Development Services Agency, and matures in November 2024.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

DERIVATIVES

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into interest expense, net in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.

In January 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to mitigate variability in forecasted interest payments on $463,000 of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated unsecured variable rate debt. The notional amount declines over time. The interest rate swap effectively converts a portion of the floating rate interest payment into a fixed rate interest payment. The Company designated the interest rate swap as a pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap instrument and is accounting for this derivative as a cash flow hedge. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed a transaction to amend and extend the interest rate swap agreement which resulted in an extension of the maturity date by an additional three years and a decrease of the weighted average fixed pay rate from 2.61% to 1.63%. The pay-fixed interest rate swap is considered a hybrid instrument with a financing component and an embedded at-market derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge. In May 2023, the Company entered into bilaterial agreements with its swap counterparties to transition its interest rate swap agreements to SOFR, and further decreased the weighted average fixed pay rate to 1.58%. The Company made various Accounting Standards Codification Topic 848 elections related to changes in critical terms of the hedging relationship due to reference rate

reform to not result in a dedesignation of the hedging relationship. As of May 31, 2023, the Company's interest rate swap agreement was indexed to SOFR.

The interest rate swap converted approximately $384,000 of variable rate debt to a rate of 2.48% as of March 31, 2024 and to a rate of 2.59% as of June 30, 2023. The fair value (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) of the interest rate cash flow hedge was $20,035 and $27,044 as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, which is included in other current assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income, before tax, to interest expense, net totaled $(4,671) and $(3,036) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $(14,024) and $(2,955) for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventory

The Company uses the LIFO method of valuing U.S. inventories. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory determination. LIFO expense of $4,758 and $8,205 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $12,726 and $26,118 in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is recorded in cost of sales in the condensed statements of consolidated income.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In December 2023, the FASB issued its final standard to improve income tax disclosures. This standard, issued as ASU 2023-09, requires public business entities to annually disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued its final standard to improve reportable segment disclosures. This standard, issued as ASU 2023-07, requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, enhanced interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contains other disclosure requirements. This update is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with the interim disclosure requirements being effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2023, the SEC issued a final rule to require registrants to provide enhanced and standardized disclosures regarding cybersecurity risk management, strategy, governance, and incidents. The final rule establishes new requirements related to material cybersecurity incidents, which would need to be disclosed on Form 8-K within four business days of their being deemed material, and annual disclosures in Form 10-K pertaining to (1) cybersecurity risk management and strategy, (2) management's role in assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, and (3) the board of directors' oversight of cybersecurity risks. The Form 10-K disclosures are due beginning with annual reports for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2023, and the Form 8-K disclosures were due beginning December 18, 2023. The Company is complying with the disclosure requirements set forth in the final rule as each becomes effective.
