DONALDSON COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Donaldson Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of earnings, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods. The year end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information was derived from the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For further information, refer to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

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

Operating Environment

Russia and Ukraine

Following the Russia and Ukraine conflict, the Company complied with all sanctions, including those from the European Union, Great Britain and the U.S. and ceased direct product shipments into Russia and Belarus. Total revenues associated with customers in these areas are less than 2% of the Company’s net sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. As of April 30, 2022, the Company has related asset exposure in the form of accounts receivables and inventories of approximately $6.8 million. The Company is monitoring the regional and global ramifications of the events unfolding.

Supply Chain Disruptions

The Company continues to experience supply chain disruptions, including global logistics and labor challenges and constrained supplies of steel, petrochemical products and filter media. These disruptions have increased the Company’s input costs significantly and extended lead times. The Company has undertaken steps to mitigate these negative impacts, such as increasing prices, evaluating alternative supply chain options, qualifying additional suppliers and strategic raw material purchases. This dynamic impacted results through the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and is expected to continue into fiscal 2023.

Inflation

In connection with the supply chain disruptions described above, the Company has experienced the effects of inflation related to raw materials and operating expenses, including freight, labor and energy. These inflationary pressures have had an adverse impact on profit margins, particularly in recent months. The Company continues to negotiate price increases with its customers and is working with its suppliers to mitigate these cost increases. Inflation impacted results through the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and is expected to continue into fiscal 2023.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The Company considers the applicability and impact of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued but not yet adopted.

7

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) as if the entity had originated the contracts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted. This ASU is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on its financial statements.

Note 2. Acquisitions

Solaris Biotechnology Srl (Solaris)

On November 22, 2021, the Company acquired Solaris, headquartered in Porto Mantovano, Italy, with U.S. operations based in Berkeley, California, for cash consideration of approximately €41 million, or $45.7 million, net of cash acquired. Solaris designs and manufactures bioprocessing equipment, including bioreactors, fermenters and tangential flow filtration systems for use in food and beverage, biotechnology and other life sciences markets. Solaris is reported within the Company’s Industrial Filtration Solutions business in the Industrial Products segment. The Company assigned the fair values to the net assets acquired resulting in $27.2 million for goodwill and $20.8 million for intangible assets, none of which are expected to be deductible for tax purposes, as well as a deferred tax liability of $4.4 million. Net working capital was $2.1 million. Net sales of Solaris were immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022.

Pearson Arnold Industrial Services (PAIS)

On November 1, 2021, the Company acquired PAIS, headquartered in the U.S., for cash consideration of approximately $3.3 million, net of cash acquired. PAIS provides equipment, parts and services for dust, mist and fume collection systems, industrial fans and compressed air systems. PAIS is reported within the Industrial Products segment. The Company assigned the fair values to the net assets acquired resulting in $0.4 million for goodwill and $3.0 million for intangible assets, all of which are expected to be deductible for tax purposes. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company adjusted working capital accounts of PAIS, resulting in a corresponding increase in the value of acquired goodwill of $1.8 million. Net sales of PAIS were immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022.

The purchase price allocations for these acquisitions are preliminary pending the outcome of the final valuations of the net assets acquired. Management expects to finalize the purchase accounting for these acquisitions by the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Pro forma financial information for these acquisitions has not been presented because the acquisitions were not material to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See Note 6 for goodwill and intangible assets acquired.

Note 3. Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue on a wide range of filtration solutions sold to customers in many industries around the globe. Most of the Company’s performance obligations within customer sales contracts are for manufactured filtration systems and replacement parts. The Company also performs limited services and installation. Customer contracts may include multiple performance obligations and the transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.

Revenue Disaggregation

Net sales, generally disaggregated by location where the customer’s order was placed, were as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended April 30,				Nine Months Ended April 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
U.S. and Canada	$	348.8	$	294.6	$	963.6	$	801.8
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)	250.9		232.7		717.2		621.7
Asia Pacific	161.6		169.0		495.6		474.5
Latin America	91.9		68.7		240.2		182.8
Total net sales	$	853.2	$	765.0	$	2,416.6	$	2,080.8

See Note 17 for net sales disaggregated by segment and business unit.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The satisfaction of performance obligations and the resulting recognition of revenue typically correspond with billing of the customer. In limited circumstances, the customer may be billed at a time later than when revenue is recognized, resulting in contract assets, which are reported in other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract assets were $18.7 million and $14.9 million as of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. In other limited circumstances, the customer may make a payment at a time earlier than when revenue is recognized and prior to the satisfaction of performance obligations, resulting in contract liabilities, which are reported in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities were $23.3 million and $12.2 million as of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company will recognize revenue in future periods related to remaining performance obligations for certain open contracts. Generally, these contracts have terms of one year or less. The amount of revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations in which the original duration of the contract is greater than one year is not significant. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

The Company generally does not incur significant incremental costs related to obtaining or fulfilling a contract prior to the start of a project. The Company may incur certain fulfillment costs such as initial design or mobilization costs which are capitalized if they relate directly to the contract, if they are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract, and if they are expected to be recovered through revenues generated under the contract. Such costs, which are amortized over the life of the respective project, were not material for any period presented.

Goodwill

The Company allocates goodwill to reporting units within its Engine Products and Industrial Products segments. There were no dispositions or impairment charges recorded during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually during the third quarter of the fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. The Company performed its annual impairment assessment during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and did not record any impairment as a result of this assessment.

As of April 30, 2022, there was $407.5 million available on the Company’s $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on May 21, 2026. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company borrowed a net $60.0 million on its unsecured revolving credit facility.

The Company entered into an agreement in which the Company would issue and sell two tranches of unsecured senior notes, totaling $150.0 million. The first tranche, issued in August 2021, was a $100.0 million 10 year note due 2031 at a fixed interest rate of 2.50%. The second tranche, issued in November 2021, was a $50.0 million seven year note due 2028 at a fixed interest rate of 2.12%.

Certain debt agreements contain financial covenants related to interest coverage and leverage ratios, as well as other non-financial covenants. As of April 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has completed examinations of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns through 2017. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016.

As of April 30, 2022, gross unrecognized tax benefits were $19.6 million and accrued interest and penalties on these unrecognized tax benefits were $2.1 million. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company estimates within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible its uncertain tax positions could decrease by as much as $5.3 million due to lapses in statutes of limitation. The statutes of limitation periods for the Company’s various tax jurisdictions range from two years to 10 years.

10

The Company believes it is remote that any adjustment necessary to the reserve for income taxes over the next 12 months will be material. However, it is possible the ultimate resolution of audits or disputes may result in a material change to the reserve for income taxes, although the quantification of such potential adjustments cannot be made at this time.

Note 9. Earnings Per Share

Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options and other stock incentive plans.

Basic and diluted net earnings per share calculations were as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended April 30,				Nine Months Ended April 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchases

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 13.0 million shares of common stock under the Company’s stock repurchase plan. This repurchase authorization is effective until terminated by the Board of Directors. During the nine months ended April 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 2.5 million shares for $153.7 million. As of April 30, 2022, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase 5.8 million shares under this plan.

(2)Includes reclassifications of $2.3 million and $1.9 million in fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively, and also includes net amortization of prior service costs and actuarial losses of $9.5 million and $4.9 million in fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively, included in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings, see Note 13.

(3)Relates to designated forward foreign currency exchange contracts that were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to net sales, cost of sales and operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings, see Note 14.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the grant date fair value of the award. Stock-based awards consist primarily of non-qualified stock options, performance-based awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Grants related to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are immaterial. The Company issues treasury shares for stock options and performance-based awards.

Stock Options

The exercise price of options granted is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant. Options are generally exercisable for up to 10 years from the date of grant and vest in equal increments over three years.

Pretax stock-based compensation expense associated with options was $1.4 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, respectively, and was $1.8 million and $9.3 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021, respectively.

13

Fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average fair value for options granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 was $14.24 and $10.23 per share, respectively.

Option activity was as follows:

	Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balance outstanding as of July 31, 2021	6,444,743	$	44.05
Granted	898,726	59.18
Exercised	(308,945)	37.50
Canceled/forfeited	(43,560)	53.07
Balance outstanding as of April 30, 2022	6,990,964	$	46.23

Performance-Based Awards

Performance-based awards are payable in common stock and are based on a formula that measures Company performance over a three year period. These awards are settled after three years with payouts ranging from zero to 200% of the target award depending on achievement.

Pretax performance-based awards expense was $1.8 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, respectively. For the three months ended April 30, 2021, pretax performance-based awards was a reduction in expense of $0.8 million resulting from an adjustment to anticipated performance achievement. For the nine months ended April 30, 2021, pretax performance-based awards expense was $1.2 million.

Performance-based awards for non-vested activity were as follows:

	Performance Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance outstanding as of July 31, 2021	200,567	$	48.76
Granted	88,400	59.40
Vested	—	—
Canceled	(3,580)	53.23
Balance outstanding as of April 30, 2022	285,387	$	52.00

Note 13. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has defined benefit pension plans for certain hourly and salaried employees. These plans generally provide pension benefits based on years of service and compensation level. Components of net periodic pension costs other than the service cost component are included in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Net periodic pension costs for the Company’s pension plans were as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended April 30,				Nine Months Ended April 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Service cost	$	1.8	$	2.0	$	5.4	$	6.1
Interest cost	2.4		2.5		7.4		7.4
Expected return on assets	(6.2)		(5.9)		(18.7)		(17.6)
Prior service cost amortization	0.1		0.1		0.2		0.4
Actuarial loss amortization	1.8		2.1		5.4		6.2
Settlement charge	1.1		1.1		2.3		1.1
Curtailment charge	—		—		—		0.8
Net periodic pension costs	$	1.0	$	1.9	$	2.0	$	4.4

14

In the second and third quarters of fiscal 2022, the Company recorded pension settlement charges of $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, as a result of lump sum distributions exceeding the service and interest cost components of the annual net periodic pension cost. The corresponding remeasurements resulted in a decrease in the Company’s net pension assets and a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income of $1.7 million and $7.6 million in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2022, respectively. See Note 11.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a pension curtailment charge of $0.8 million as a result of freezing pension benefits to certain employees. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a pension settlement charge of $1.1 million as a result of lump sum distributions exceeding the service and interest cost components of the annual net periodic pension cost. The corresponding remeasurements resulted in an increase in the Company’s net pension assets, as well as a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income of $25.4 million. See Note 11.

The Company’s general funding policy is to make at least the minimum required contributions as required by applicable regulations, plus any additional amounts it determines to be appropriate. Future required pension plan contributions may change significantly depending on the actual rate of return on plan assets, discount rates and regulatory requirements.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements of financial instruments are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used. For Level 1, inputs to the fair value measurement are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. For Level 2, inputs to the fair value measurement include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. For Level 3, inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs or are based on valuation techniques.

Short-Term Financial Instruments

As of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments, and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Long-Term Debt

As of April 30, 2022, the estimated fair values of fixed interest rate long-term debt were $395.4 million compared to the carrying values of $425.0 million. As of July 31, 2021, the estimated fair values of fixed interest rate long-term debt were $297.4 million compared to the carrying values of $275.0 million. The fair values are estimated by discounting the projected cash flows using the interest rates at which similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed. The carrying values of total variable interest rate long-term debt were $184.7 million and $188.3 million as of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively, and approximate their fair values. Long-term debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Method Investments

The Company holds equity method investments in its joint ventures, which are included in other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate carrying amount of these investments was $25.6 million and $24.2 million as of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. These equity method investments are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s equity method investments has not been adjusted as there have been no triggering events or changes in circumstance that would have had an adverse impact on the value of these investments. In the event these investments are required to be measured, they would fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value, as the investments are in privately-held entities.

Derivative Fair Value Measurements

The Company enters into derivative instrument agreements, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts and net investment hedges to manage risk in connection with changes in foreign currency. The Company only enters into derivative instrument agreements with counterparties who have highly rated credit. The Company does not enter into derivative instrument agreements for trading or speculative purposes.

15

The fair values of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts and net investment hedges reflect the amounts that would be received to sell the assets or paid to transfer the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and are determined by standard calculations and models that use readily observable market parameters. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Industry standard data providers are the primary source for forward and spot rate information for both interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The fair values of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts and net investment hedges are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company buys materials from foreign suppliers. Those transactions can be denominated in those suppliers’ local currency. The Company also sells to customers in foreign countries. Those transactions can be denominated in those customers’ local currency. Both of these transaction types can create volatility in the Company’s financial statements. The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage those exposures and fluctuations. These contracts generally mature in 12 months or less, which is consistent with the forecasts of the related purchases and sales. Certain contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, whereas the remaining contracts, most of which are related to certain intercompany transactions, are not designated.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its exposure to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements for its operations in Europe. The Company has elected the spot method for designating these contracts as net investment hedges.

As of April 30, 2022, the total notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts designated as net investment hedges was €80 million, or $88.8 million, which includes a hedge for $33.0 million entered into in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The maturity dates of these derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges range from 2027 to 2029.

Fair Value of Derivatives Contracts

The fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts, recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was as follows (in millions):

	Notional Amounts				Assets				Liabilities
	April 30,		July 31,		April 30,		July 31,		April 30,		July 31,
	2022		2021		2022		2021		2022		2021
Designated as hedging instruments
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$	33.8	$	117.2	$	1.2	$	1.0	$	1.3	$	1.2
Net investment hedges	88.8		55.8		4.8		1.1		—		2.0
Total designated	122.6		173.0		6.0		2.1		1.3		3.2
Not designated as hedging instruments
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts	171.9		154.2		1.2		0.5		2.5		0.4
Total not designated	171.9		154.2		1.2		0.5		2.5		0.4
Total	$	294.5	$	327.2	$	7.2	$	2.6	$	3.8	$	3.6

Forward foreign currency exchange contract assets were recorded in other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Forward foreign currency exchange contract liabilities were recorded in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net investment hedges were recorded in other current assets, other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in the fair value of the Company’s designated hedges are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until the related transaction occurs. Designated hedges are recognized as a component of net sales, cost of sales and operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings upon occurrence of the related hedged transaction.

16

Hedges which are not designated are recognized in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. This recognition is timed to coincide with that of the related hedged transactions. Changes in the fair value of these hedges are, likewise, recognized in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The Company classifies cash flows from derivatives designated in a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. Cash flows from these derivative transactions are recorded in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Amounts related to forward foreign currency exchange contracts are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months based on the timing of inventory purchases and sales. Amounts related to excluded components, such as forward points, are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness of net investment hedges, and are expected to be reclassified into earnings throughout their maturity dates. See Note 11 for additional information on accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

Contract provisions may require the posting of collateral or settlement of the contracts for various reasons, including if the Company’s credit ratings are downgraded below its investment grade credit rating by any of the major credit agencies or for cross default contractual provisions if there is a failure under other financing arrangements related to payment terms or covenants. As of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, no collateral was posted.

Counterparty Credit Risk

There is risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based on their credit ratings and certain other financial factors.

Note 15. Guarantees

Letters of Credit

The Company has letters of credit which guarantee payment to third parties in the event the Company is in breach of contract terms as detailed in each letter of credit. The outstanding debt contingent liability for standby letters of credit was as follows (in millions):

	April 30, 2022		July 31, 2021
Contingent liability for standby letters of credit issued under the Company’s revolving credit facility	$	7.5	$	7.7
Amounts drawn for letters of credit under the Company’s revolving credit facility	$	—	$	—

Advanced Filtration Systems Inc. (AFSI)

The Company has an unconsolidated joint venture, AFSI, established by the Company and Caterpillar Inc. (Caterpillar) in 1986. AFSI designs and manufactures high-efficiency fluid filters used in Caterpillar’s machinery worldwide. The Company and Caterpillar equally own the shares of AFSI, and both companies guarantee certain debt and banking services, including credit and debit cards, merchant processing and treasury management services, of the joint venture. The Company accounts for AFSI as an equity method investment.

The outstanding debt relating to AFSI, which the Company guarantees half, was $61.1 million and $37.8 million as of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. AFSI’s $63.0 million revolving credit facility expires July 31, 2024.

Earnings from AFSI, which are recorded in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings were $3.2 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, respectively, and $2.6 million and $6.4 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021, respectively.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company records provisions when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Claims and litigation are reviewed quarterly and provisions are taken or adjusted to reflect the status of a particular matter. The Company believes the estimated liability in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for claims or litigation is adequate and appropriate for the probable and estimable outcomes. Liabilities recorded were not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company believes it is remote that the settlement of any of the currently identified claims or litigation will be materially in excess of what is accrued.

Note 17. Segment Reporting

The Company’s reportable segments are Engine Products and Industrial Products. The Company determines its operating segments consistent with the manner in which it manages its operations and evaluates performance for internal review and decision-making. Corporate and unallocated includes corporate expenses determined to be non-allocable to the segments, such as interest expense, restructuring charges and certain incentive compensation.

The Company is an integrated enterprise, characterized by substantial intersegment cooperation, cost allocations and sharing of assets. Therefore, the Company does not represent these segments, if operated independently, would report earnings before income taxes as stated below.

Operating Environment

Russia and Ukraine

Following the Russia and Ukraine conflict, the Company complied with all sanctions, including those from the European Union, Great Britain and the United States (U.S.) and ceased direct product shipments into Russia and Belarus. Total revenues associated with customers in these areas are less than 2% of the Company’s net sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. As of April 30, 2022, the Company has related asset exposure in the form of accounts receivables and inventories of approximately $6.8 million. The Company is monitoring the regional and global ramifications of the events unfolding.

Supply Chain Disruptions

The Company continues to experience supply chain disruptions, including global logistics and labor challenges and constrained supplies of steel, petrochemical products and filter media. These disruptions have increased the Company’s input costs significantly and extended lead times. The Company has undertaken steps to mitigate these negative impacts, such as increasing prices, evaluating alternative supply chain options, qualifying additional suppliers and strategic raw material purchases. This dynamic impacted results through the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and is expected to continue into fiscal 2023.

Inflation

In connection with the supply chain disruptions described above, the Company has experienced the effects of inflation related to raw materials and other expenses, including freight, labor and energy. These inflationary pressures have had an adverse impact on profit margins, particularly in recent months. The Company continues to negotiate price increases with its customers and is working with its suppliers to mitigate these cost increases. Inflation impacted results through the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and is expected to continue into fiscal 2023.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2022 were $853.2 million, compared with $765.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $88.2 million, or 11.5%. Net sales increased $70.0 million, or 13.2%, in the Engine Products segment and increased $18.2 million, or 7.8%, in the Industrial Products segment. Foreign currency translation decreased sales by $22.0 million compared to the three months ended April 30, 2021. Refer to the Segment Results of Operations section for further discussion on the Engine Products and Industrial Products segments. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, sales increased with varied demand by market and geography primarily due to pricing. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, sales in Latin America (LATAM) increased 33.7%, U.S. and Canada increased 18.4%, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) increased 7.8% and Asia Pacific (APAC) decreased 4.4%.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

Cost of sales for the three months ended April 30, 2022 were $584.2 million, compared with $507.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $77.2 million, or 15.2%. Gross margin was 31.5%, compared with 33.7% during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The gross margin decrease was primarily driven by increased raw material, freight, energy and labor costs, partially offset by higher sales driven in large part by pricing.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2022 were $158.0 million, compared with $148.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $9.4 million, or 6.3%. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 18.5%, compared with 19.4% during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects greater leverage from higher sales as well as expense management.

Non-Operating Items

Interest expense was $3.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022, compared with $3.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $0.6 million, or 19.4%. The increase reflects a higher debt level.

Other income, net for the three months ended April 30, 2022 was $4.1 million, compared with other income, net of $4.7 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.6 million. The decrease was primarily driven by higher foreign exchange losses.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2022 was 25.4%, compared with 23.9% for the three months ended April 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a reduction in net discrete tax benefits.

Net Earnings

Net earnings for the three months ended April 30, 2022 were $83.0 million, compared with net earnings of $84.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 1.8%.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2022, sales in LATAM increased 31.4%, U.S. and Canada increased 20.2%, EMEA increased 15.4% and APAC increased 4.5%.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

Cost of sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 were $1,640.8 million, compared with $1,374.8 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $266.0 million, or 19.3%. Gross margin was 32.1%, compared with 33.9% during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The gross margin decrease was primarily driven by increased raw material, freight and labor costs, partially offset by pricing and volume leverage on higher sales. Prior fiscal year gross margin was also negatively impacted by restructuring charges of $5.8 million that did not repeat.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 were $461.6 million, compared with $433.3 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $28.3 million, or 6.5%. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 19.1%, compared with 20.8% during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales reflects greater leverage from higher sales, expense management and restructuring charges of $9.0 million in the prior fiscal year that did not repeat.

Non-Operating Items

Interest expense was $10.8 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2022, compared with $9.9 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $0.9 million, or 9.1%. The increase reflects a higher debt level.

Other income, net for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 was $6.4 million, compared with other income, net of $4.2 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $2.2 million. The increase was driven by lower charitable contributions.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 was 25.2%, compared with 24.1% for the nine months ended April 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a reduction in net discrete tax benefits.

Net Earnings

Net earnings for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 were $231.8 million, compared with net earnings of $202.6 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $29.2 million, or 14.4%.

Restructuring

In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company initiated activities to further improve its operating and manufacturing cost structure, primarily in EMEA. These activities resulted in restructuring expenses, primarily related to severance, of $14.8 million. Charges of $5.8 million were included in cost of sales and $9.0 million were included in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended July 31, 2021. The Company expects approximately $8 million in annualized savings from these restructuring activities, and the initiative is now substantially completed.

Excluding a $13.9 million decrease from foreign currency translation, net sales increased 15.8%. All business units benefited from increased pricing.

Net sales of Aftermarket increased $54.0 million which reflected broad growth across most regions, as end-market demand continued. In addition, net sales of Off-Road increased $12.5 million primarily due to equipment production levels remaining high in most regions, with the exception of China, and strong sales for Exhaust and Emissions in EMEA. This growth was partially offset by a decrease resulting from the recent shut-downs in certain areas in China related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Earnings before income taxes for the Engine Products segment for the three months ended April 30, 2022 were $89.2 million, or 14.8% of Engine Products’ net sales, a decrease from 15.9% of net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by higher raw material, freight, energy and labor costs, partially offset by higher sales driven in large part by pricing.

Nine months ended April 30, 2022 compared with nine months ended April 30, 2021

Net sales for the Engine Products segment for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 were $1,682.3 million, compared with $1,429.6 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $252.7 million, or 17.7%. Excluding a $23.3 million decrease from foreign currency translation, net sales increased 19.3%.

22

Net sales of Aftermarket increased $179.4 million which reflected broad growth across all regions driven by continued high end-market demand and pricing. Net sales of Off-Road increased $59.2 million primarily due to increased pricing, equipment production levels remaining high in most regions, with the exception of China, and strong sales for Exhaust and Emissions in EMEA.

Earnings before income taxes for the Engine Products segment for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 were $226.5 million, or 13.5% of Engine Products’ net sales, a decrease from 14.4% of net sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by higher raw material, freight, energy and labor costs, partially offset by both pricing and higher volume.

Three months ended April 30, 2022 compared with three months ended April 30, 2021

Net sales for the Industrial Products segment for the three months ended April 30, 2022 were $252.2 million, compared with $234.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $18.2 million, or 7.8%. Excluding an $8.1 million decrease from foreign currency translation, net sales increased 11.2%.

Net sales of IFS increased $14.8 million due to strong growth across most end-markets with growth strongest in the U.S. reflecting improved end-market conditions for both first-fit and replacement parts of dust collection products, as well as continued strength in Process Filtration within the food and beverage market. This growth was partially offset by a decrease resulting from the recent shut-downs in certain areas in China related to the COVID-19 pandemic. IFS includes net sales related to acquisitions in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 of Solaris Biotechnology Srl (Solaris) and Pearson Arnold Industrial Services (PAIS), which were immaterial to the quarter. All business units in IFS benefited from increased pricing.

The decrease was driven by increased raw material, freight and labor costs as well as an unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by higher sales driven in large part by pricing.

Nine months ended April 30, 2022 compared with nine months ended April 30, 2021

Net sales for the Industrial Products segment for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 were $734.3 million, compared with $651.2 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $83.1 million, or 12.8%.

Net sales of IFS increased $65.9 million primarily in the U.S. reflecting improved end-market conditions in Industrial Air Filtration (IAF) for both first-fit and replacement parts of dust collection products. EMEA had continued strength in IAF and Process Filtration within the food and beverage market. IFS includes net sales related to acquisitions in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 of Solaris and PAIS, which were immaterial for the nine months ended April 30, 2022. All business units in IFS benefited from increased pricing.

Earnings before income taxes for the Industrial Products segment for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 were $114.6 million, or 15.6% of Industrial Products’ net sales, an increase from 14.0% of Industrial Products’ sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2021. The increase was driven by both pricing and higher volume, partially offset by increased raw material, freight and labor costs. Prior fiscal year earnings were also negatively impacted by restructuring charges of $6.5 million that did not repeat.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

Liquidity

Liquidity is assessed in terms of the Company’s ability to generate cash to fund its operating, investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity are cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends, repurchases of outstanding shares, adequacy of available credit facilities and the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms. The Company generates substantial cash from the operation of its businesses as its primary source of liquidity, with sufficient liquidity available to fund growth through reinvestment in existing businesses and strategic acquisitions.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 was $143.9 million, compared with $305.6 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, a decrease of $161.7 million. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an increase in inventory as the Company continues to experience strengthening demand while mitigating supply chain disruptions as well as higher incentive compensation paid, partially offset by higher earnings.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 was $105.8 million, compared with $40.2 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, an increase of $65.6 million. In fiscal 2022, the Company acquired Solaris and PAIS for cash consideration of $49.0 million and invested a higher level of capital in various projects, including capacity expansion, tooling for new programs and cost reduction initiatives.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities generally relates to the use of cash for payment of dividends and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, net borrowing activity and proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 was $82.8 million, compared with $295.5 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021, a decrease of $212.7 million. The decrease in the use of cash was primarily driven by proceeds from the issuance of new debt in fiscal 2022 of $249.3 million, partially offset by lower debt payments and a higher level of share repurchases. To determine the level of dividend and share repurchases, the Company considers recent and projected performance across key financial metrics, including earnings, cash flow from operations and total debt. Dividends paid for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 were $81.8 million and $79.5 million, respectively. Share repurchases for the nine months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 were $153.7 million and $78.7 million, respectively.

Capital Resources and Financial Condition

Cash and cash equivalents as of April 30, 2022 was $168.7 million, compared with $222.8 million as of July 31, 2021. The Company has capacity of $637.0 million available for further borrowing under existing credit facilities as of April 30, 2022, which includes $407.5 million available on the Company’s $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on May 21, 2026. The Company believes the liquidity available from the combination of expected cash generated by operating activities, existing cash and available credit under existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for the next 12 months.

In order to help measure and analyze the impact of working capital management, the Company calculates days sales outstanding as the average accounts receivable, net for the quarter, divided by net sales for the quarter multiplied by the number of days in the quarter, and calculates inventory turns as the cost of sales for the quarter, annualized by the ratio of the number of days in the year to the number of days in the quarter, divided by the average inventories, net for the quarter. The Company calculates days payable outstanding as the average accounts payable for the quarter, divided by cost of sales for the quarter multiplied by the number of days in the quarter.

Accounts receivable, net as of April 30, 2022, was $585.5 million, compared with $552.7 million as of July 31, 2021, an increase of $32.8 million. Days sales outstanding were 59 days as of April 30, 2022, a decrease from 65 days as of July 31, 2021.

Inventories, net as of April 30, 2022, was $510.7 million, compared with $384.5 million as of July 31, 2021, an increase of $126.2 million. Inventory turns were 4.8 times and 5.4 times per year as of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively.

Accounts payable as of April 30, 2022, was $335.8 million, compared with $293.9 million as of July 31, 2021, an increase of $41.9 million. Days payable outstanding were 50 days as of April 30, 2022, consistent with 50 days as of July 31, 2021.

Long-term debt outstanding was $607.2 million as of April 30, 2022, compared with $461.0 million as of July 31, 2021, an increase of $146.2 million primarily due to proceeds from long-term debt received in fiscal 2022. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company borrowed $60.0 million on its unsecured revolving credit facility.

24

As of April 30, 2022, total debt, including long-term debt and short-term borrowings, represented 36.2% of total capitalization, defined as total debt plus total stockholders’ equity, compared with 30.9% as of July 31, 2021. As of April 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.

The Company entered into an agreement in which the Company would issue and sell two tranches of unsecured senior notes, totaling $150.0 million. The first tranche, issued in August 2021, was a $100.0 million 10 year note due 2031 at a fixed interest rate of 2.50%.

These factors include, but are not limited to, challenges in global operations; impacts of global economic, industrial and political conditions on product demand, including the Russia and Ukraine conflict; impacts from unexpected events, including the COVID-19 pandemic; effects of unavailable raw materials or material cost inflation; inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; inability to meet customer demand; inability to maintain competitive advantages; threats from disruptive technologies; effects of highly competitive markets with pricing pressure; exposure to customer concentration in certain cyclical industries; impairment of intangible assets; inability to manage productivity improvements; inability to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting; vulnerabilities associated with information technology systems and security; inability to protect and enforce intellectual property rights; costs associated with governmental laws and regulations; impacts of foreign currency fluctuations; effects of changes in capital and credit markets; changes in tax laws and tax rates, regulations and results of examinations; and results of execution of any acquisition, divestiture and other strategic transactions strategy. These and other factors are described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s market risk includes the potential loss arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. In an attempt to manage these risks, the Company employs certain strategies to mitigate the effect of these fluctuations. The Company does not enter into any of these instruments for speculative trading purposes.

The Company maintains significant assets and operations outside the U.S., resulting in exposure to foreign currency gains and losses. A portion of the Company’s foreign currency exposure is naturally hedged by incurring liabilities, including bank debt, denominated in the local currency in which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are located.

25

During the nine months ended April 30, 2022, the U.S. dollar was generally stronger than in the nine months ended April 30, 2021 compared with many of the currencies of the foreign countries in which the Company operates. The overall stronger dollar had a negative impact on the Company’s international net sales and net earnings because the foreign denominated revenues translated into less U.S. dollars in many regions around the world. The estimated impact of foreign currency translation for the nine months ended April 30, 2022, resulted in an overall decrease in reported net sales of $37.0 million and a decrease in reported net earnings of $4.8 million.

Derivative Fair Value Measurements

The Company enters into derivative instrument agreements, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts and net investment hedges to manage risk in connection with changes in foreign currency. The Company only enters into derivative instrument agreements with counterparties who have highly rated credit. The Company does not enter into derivative instrument agreements for trading or speculative purposes. See Notes 11 and 14 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company buys materials from foreign suppliers. Those transactions can be denominated in those suppliers’ local currency. The Company also sells to customers in foreign countries. Those transactions can be denominated in those customers’ local currency. Both of these transaction types can create volatility in the Company’s financial statements. The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage those exposures and fluctuations. These contracts generally mature in 12 months or less, which is consistent with the forecasts of the related purchases and sales. Certain contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, whereas the remaining contracts, most of which are related to certain intercompany transactions, are not designated.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its exposure to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements for its operations in Europe. The Company has elected the spot method for designating these contracts as net investment hedges.

As of April 30, 2022, the total notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts designated as net investment hedges was €80 million, or $88.8 million, which includes a hedge for $33.0 million entered into in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The maturity dates of these derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges range from 2027 to 2029.

Based on the net investment hedge outstanding as of April 30, 2022, a 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro, would result in a net gain of $8.0 million in the fair value of these contracts.

Interest Rates

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to debt obligations that are at variable rates, as well as the potential increase in the fair value of long-term debt resulting from a potential decrease in interest rates. As of April 30, 2022, the Company’s financial liabilities with exposure to changes in interest rates consisted mainly of $85.0 million outstanding on the Company’s revolving credit facility, €80.0 million, or $84.4 million of a variable rate term loan and ¥2.0 billion, or $15.4 million, of variable rate senior notes. As of April 30, 2022, additional short-term borrowings outstanding consisted of $31.3 million. Assuming a hypothetical 0.5 percentage point increase in short-term interest rates, with all other variables remaining constant, interest expense would have increased approximately $0.8 million and interest income would have increased by an immaterial amount in the nine months ended April 30, 2022. Interest rate changes would also affect the fair market value of fixed-rate debt. As of April 30, 2022, the estimated fair values of fixed interest rate long-term debt were $395.4 million compared to the carrying values of $425.0 million. The fair values are estimated by discounting the projected cash flows using the interest rates at which similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed.

Commodity Prices

The Company is exposed to market risk from fluctuating prices of purchased commodity raw materials, including steel, filter media and petrochemical-based products including plastics, rubber and adhesives. On an ongoing basis, the Company enters into selective supply arrangements that allow the Company to reduce volatility in its costs. The Company strives to recover or offset all material cost increases through selective price increases to its customers and the Company’s cost reduction initiatives, which include material substitution, process improvement and product redesigns. However, an increase in commodity prices could result in lower gross profit.

26

Chinese Notes

Consistent with common business practice in China, the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries accept bankers’ acceptance notes from Chinese customers in settlement of certain customer billed accounts receivable. Bankers’ acceptance notes represent a commitment by the issuing financial institution to pay a certain amount of money at a specified future maturity date to the legal owner of the bankers’ acceptance note as of the maturity date. The maturity dates of bankers’ acceptance notes vary, but it is the Company’s policy to only accept bankers’ acceptance notes with maturity dates no more than 180 days from the date of the Company’s receipt of such draft. As of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company owned $6.4 million and $14.1 million, respectively, of these bankers’ acceptance notes and includes them in accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period. Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed so information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company records provisions when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Claims and litigation are reviewed quarterly and provisions are taken or adjusted to reflect the status of a particular matter. The Company believes the estimated liability in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for claims or litigation is adequate and appropriate for the probable and estimable outcomes. Liabilities recorded were not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company believes it is remote that the settlement of any of the currently identified claims or litigation will be materially in excess of what is accrued.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s global operations that involve the manufacturing and sale of products for highly demanding customer applications throughout the world. These risks and uncertainties could adversely affect the Company’s operating performances or financial condition. The “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021 outlines the risks and uncertainties the Company believes are the most material to its business.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Donaldson Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of earnings, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods. The year end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information was derived from the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For further information, refer to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

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

Operating Environment

Russia and Ukraine

Following the Russia and Ukraine conflict, the Company complied with all sanctions, including those from the European Union, Great Britain and the U.S. and ceased direct product shipments into Russia and Belarus. Total revenues associated with customers in these areas are less than 2% of the Company’s net sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. As of April 30, 2022, the Company has related asset exposure in the form of accounts receivables and inventories of approximately $6.8 million. The Company is monitoring the regional and global ramifications of the events unfolding.

Supply Chain Disruptions

The Company continues to experience supply chain disruptions, including global logistics and labor challenges and constrained supplies of steel, petrochemical products and filter media. These disruptions have increased the Company’s input costs significantly and extended lead times. The Company has undertaken steps to mitigate these negative impacts, such as increasing prices, evaluating alternative supply chain options, qualifying additional suppliers and strategic raw material purchases. This dynamic impacted results through the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and is expected to continue into fiscal 2023.

Inflation

In connection with the supply chain disruptions described above, the Company has experienced the effects of inflation related to raw materials and operating expenses, including freight, labor and energy. These inflationary pressures have had an adverse impact on profit margins, particularly in recent months. The Company continues to negotiate price increases with its customers and is working with its suppliers to mitigate these cost increases. Inflation impacted results through the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and is expected to continue into fiscal 2023.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The Company considers the applicability and impact of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued but not yet adopted.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) as if the entity had originated the contracts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted. This ASU is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on its financial statements.

Acquisitions

Solaris Biotechnology Srl (Solaris)

On November 22, 2021, the Company acquired Solaris, headquartered in Porto Mantovano, Italy, with U.S. operations based in Berkeley, California, for cash consideration of approximately €41 million, or $45.7 million, net of cash acquired. Solaris designs and manufactures bioprocessing equipment, including bioreactors, fermenters and tangential flow filtration systems for use in food and beverage, biotechnology and other life sciences markets. Solaris is reported within the Company’s Industrial Filtration Solutions business in the Industrial Products segment. The Company assigned the fair values to the net assets acquired resulting in $27.2 million for goodwill and $20.8 million for intangible assets, none of which are expected to be deductible for tax purposes, as well as a deferred tax liability of $4.4 million. Net working capital was $2.1 million. Net sales of Solaris were immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022.

Pearson Arnold Industrial Services (PAIS)

On November 1, 2021, the Company acquired PAIS, headquartered in the U.S., for cash consideration of approximately $3.3 million, net of cash acquired. PAIS provides equipment, parts and services for dust, mist and fume collection systems, industrial fans and compressed air systems. PAIS is reported within the Industrial Products segment. The Company assigned the fair values to the net assets acquired resulting in $0.4 million for goodwill and $3.0 million for intangible assets, all of which are expected to be deductible for tax purposes. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company adjusted working capital accounts of PAIS, resulting in a corresponding increase in the value of acquired goodwill of $1.8 million. Net sales of PAIS were immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022.

The purchase price allocations for these acquisitions are preliminary pending the outcome of the final valuations of the net assets acquired. Management expects to finalize the purchase accounting for these acquisitions by the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Pro forma financial information for these acquisitions has not been presented because the acquisitions were not material to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See Note 6 for goodwill and intangible assets acquired.

Revenue

Apr. 30, 2022

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue on a wide range of filtration solutions sold to customers in many industries around the globe. Most of the Company’s performance obligations within customer sales contracts are for manufactured filtration systems and replacement parts. The Company also performs limited services and installation. Customer contracts may include multiple performance obligations and the transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.

Revenue Disaggregation

Net sales, generally disaggregated by location where the customer’s order was placed, were as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended April 30,				Nine Months Ended April 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
U.S. and Canada	$	348.8	$	294.6	$	963.6	$	801.8
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)	250.9		232.7		717.2		621.7
Asia Pacific	161.6		169.0		495.6		474.5
Latin America	91.9		68.7		240.2		182.8
Total net sales	$	853.2	$	765.0	$	2,416.6	$	2,080.8

See Note 17 for net sales disaggregated by segment and business unit.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The satisfaction of performance obligations and the resulting recognition of revenue typically correspond with billing of the customer. In limited circumstances, the customer may be billed at a time later than when revenue is recognized, resulting in contract assets, which are reported in other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract assets were $18.7 million and $14.9 million as of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. In other limited circumstances, the customer may make a payment at a time earlier than when revenue is recognized and prior to the satisfaction of performance obligations, resulting in contract liabilities, which are reported in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities were $23.3 million and $12.2 million as of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company will recognize revenue in future periods related to remaining performance obligations for certain open contracts. Generally, these contracts have terms of one year or less. The amount of revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations in which the original duration of the contract is greater than one year is not significant. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

The Company generally does not incur significant incremental costs related to obtaining or fulfilling a contract prior to the start of a project. The Company may incur certain fulfillment costs such as initial design or mobilization costs which are capitalized if they relate directly to the contract, if they are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract, and if they are expected to be recovered through revenues generated under the contract. Such costs, which are amortized over the life of the respective project, were not material for any period presented.

Long-Term Debt

Long-Term Debt

As of April 30, 2022, there was $407.5 million available on the Company’s $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on May 21, 2026. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company borrowed a net $60.0 million on its unsecured revolving credit facility.

The Company entered into an agreement in which the Company would issue and sell two tranches of unsecured senior notes, totaling $150.0 million. The first tranche, issued in August 2021, was a $100.0 million 10 year note due 2031 at a fixed interest rate of 2.50%. The second tranche, issued in November 2021, was a $50.0 million seven year note due 2028 at a fixed interest rate of 2.12%.

Certain debt agreements contain financial covenants related to interest coverage and leverage ratios, as well as other non-financial covenants. As of April 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has completed examinations of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns through 2017. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016.

As of April 30, 2022, gross unrecognized tax benefits were $19.6 million and accrued interest and penalties on these unrecognized tax benefits were $2.1 million. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company estimates within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible its uncertain tax positions could decrease by as much as $5.3 million due to lapses in statutes of limitation. The statutes of limitation periods for the Company’s various tax jurisdictions range from two years to 10 years.

The Company believes it is remote that any adjustment necessary to the reserve for income taxes over the next 12 months will be material. However, it is possible the ultimate resolution of audits or disputes may result in a material change to the reserve for income taxes, although the quantification of such potential adjustments cannot be made at this time.

Share-based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the grant date fair value of the award. Stock-based awards consist primarily of non-qualified stock options, performance-based awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Grants related to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are immaterial. The Company issues treasury shares for stock options and performance-based awards.

Stock Options

The exercise price of options granted is equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant. Options are generally exercisable for up to 10 years from the date of grant and vest in equal increments over three years.

Pretax stock-based compensation expense associated with options was $1.4 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, respectively, and was $1.8 million and $9.3 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021, respectively.

Fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average fair value for options granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 was $14.24 and $10.23 per share, respectively.

Option activity was as follows:

	Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balance outstanding as of July 31, 2021	6,444,743	$	44.05
Granted	898,726	59.18
Exercised	(308,945)	37.50
Canceled/forfeited	(43,560)	53.07
Balance outstanding as of April 30, 2022	6,990,964	$	46.23

Performance-Based Awards

Performance-based awards are payable in common stock and are based on a formula that measures Company performance over a three year period. These awards are settled after three years with payouts ranging from zero to 200% of the target award depending on achievement.

Pretax performance-based awards expense was $1.8 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022, respectively. For the three months ended April 30, 2021, pretax performance-based awards was a reduction in expense of $0.8 million resulting from an adjustment to anticipated performance achievement. For the nine months ended April 30, 2021, pretax performance-based awards expense was $1.2 million.

Performance-based awards for non-vested activity were as follows:

	Performance Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has defined benefit pension plans for certain hourly and salaried employees. These plans generally provide pension benefits based on years of service and compensation level. Components of net periodic pension costs other than the service cost component are included in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Net periodic pension costs for the Company’s pension plans were as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended April 30,				Nine Months Ended April 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Service cost	$	1.8	$	2.0	$	5.4	$	6.1
Interest cost	2.4		2.5		7.4		7.4
Expected return on assets	(6.2)		(5.9)		(18.7)		(17.6)
Prior service cost amortization	0.1		0.1		0.2		0.4

Curtailment charge	—		—		—		0.8
Net periodic pension costs	$	1.0	$	1.9	$	2.0	$	4.4

In the second and third quarters of fiscal 2022, the Company recorded pension settlement charges of $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, as a result of lump sum distributions exceeding the service and interest cost components of the annual net periodic pension cost. The corresponding remeasurements resulted in a decrease in the Company’s net pension assets and a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income of $1.7 million and $7.6 million in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2022, respectively. See Note 11.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a pension curtailment charge of $0.8 million as a result of freezing pension benefits to certain employees. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a pension settlement charge of $1.1 million as a result of lump sum distributions exceeding the service and interest cost components of the annual net periodic pension cost. The corresponding remeasurements resulted in an increase in the Company’s net pension assets, as well as a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income of $25.4 million. See Note 11.

The Company’s general funding policy is to make at least the minimum required contributions as required by applicable regulations, plus any additional amounts it determines to be appropriate. Future required pension plan contributions may change significantly depending on the actual rate of return on plan assets, discount rates and regulatory requirements.

Fair Value Measurements

9 Months Ended

Apr. 30, 2022

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements of financial instruments are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used. For Level 1, inputs to the fair value measurement are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. For Level 2, inputs to the fair value measurement include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. For Level 3, inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs or are based on valuation techniques.

Short-Term Financial Instruments

As of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments, and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Long-Term Debt

As of April 30, 2022, the estimated fair values of fixed interest rate long-term debt were $395.4 million compared to the carrying values of $425.0 million. As of July 31, 2021, the estimated fair values of fixed interest rate long-term debt were $297.4 million compared to the carrying values of $275.0 million. The fair values are estimated by discounting the projected cash flows using the interest rates at which similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed. The carrying values of total variable interest rate long-term debt were $184.7 million and $188.3 million as of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively, and approximate their fair values. Long-term debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Method Investments

The Company holds equity method investments in its joint ventures, which are included in other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate carrying amount of these investments was $25.6 million and $24.2 million as of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively. These equity method investments are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s equity method investments has not been adjusted as there have been no triggering events or changes in circumstance that would have had an adverse impact on the value of these investments. In the event these investments are required to be measured, they would fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value, as the investments are in privately-held entities.

Derivative Fair Value Measurements

The Company enters into derivative instrument agreements, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts and net investment hedges to manage risk in connection with changes in foreign currency. The Company only enters into derivative instrument agreements with counterparties who have highly rated credit. The Company does not enter into derivative instrument agreements for trading or speculative purposes.

The fair values of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts and net investment hedges reflect the amounts that would be received to sell the assets or paid to transfer the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and are determined by standard calculations and models that use readily observable market parameters. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Industry standard data providers are the primary source for forward and spot rate information for both interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The fair values of the Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts and net investment hedges are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company buys materials from foreign suppliers. Those transactions can be denominated in those suppliers’ local currency. The Company also sells to customers in foreign countries. Those transactions can be denominated in those customers’ local currency. Both of these transaction types can create volatility in the Company’s financial statements. The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage those exposures and fluctuations. These contracts generally mature in 12 months or less, which is consistent with the forecasts of the related purchases and sales. Certain contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, whereas the remaining contracts, most of which are related to certain intercompany transactions, are not designated.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its exposure to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements for its operations in Europe. The Company has elected the spot method for designating these contracts as net investment hedges.

As of April 30, 2022, the total notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts designated as net investment hedges was €80 million, or $88.8 million, which includes a hedge for $33.0 million entered into in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The maturity dates of these derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges range from 2027 to 2029.

Fair Value of Derivatives Contracts

The fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts, recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was as follows (in millions):

	Notional Amounts				Assets				Liabilities
	April 30,		July 31,		April 30,		July 31,		April 30,		July 31,
	2022		2021		2022		2021		2022		2021

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$	33.8	$	117.2	$	1.2	$	1.0	$	1.3	$	1.2
Net investment hedges	88.8		55.8		4.8		1.1		—		2.0
Total designated	122.6		173.0		6.0		2.1		1.3		3.2

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts	171.9		154.2		1.2		0.5		2.5		0.4
Total not designated	171.9		154.2		1.2		0.5		2.5		0.4
Total	$	294.5	$	327.2	$	7.2	$	2.6	$	3.8	$	3.6

Forward foreign currency exchange contract assets were recorded in other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Forward foreign currency exchange contract liabilities were recorded in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net investment hedges were recorded in other current assets, other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in the fair value of the Company’s designated hedges are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until the related transaction occurs. Designated hedges are recognized as a component of net sales, cost of sales and operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings upon occurrence of the related hedged transaction.

Hedges which are not designated are recognized in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. This recognition is timed to coincide with that of the related hedged transactions. Changes in the fair value of these hedges are, likewise, recognized in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The Company classifies cash flows from derivatives designated in a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. Cash flows from these derivative transactions are recorded in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Amounts related to forward foreign currency exchange contracts are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months based on the timing of inventory purchases and sales. Amounts related to excluded components, such as forward points, are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness of net investment hedges, and are expected to be reclassified into earnings throughout their maturity dates. See Note 11 for additional information on accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

Contract provisions may require the posting of collateral or settlement of the contracts for various reasons, including if the Company’s credit ratings are downgraded below its investment grade credit rating by any of the major credit agencies or for cross default contractual provisions if there is a failure under other financing arrangements related to payment terms or covenants. As of April 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, no collateral was posted.

Counterparty Credit Risk

There is risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. In order to mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company only enters into contracts with carefully selected financial institutions based on their credit ratings and certain other financial factors.

Apr. 30, 2022

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Donaldson Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of earnings, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods. The year end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information was derived from the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For further information, refer to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

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

Operating Environment

Russia and Ukraine

Following the Russia and Ukraine conflict, the Company complied with all sanctions, including those from the European Union, Great Britain and the U.S. and ceased direct product shipments into Russia and Belarus. Total revenues associated with customers in these areas are less than 2% of the Company’s net sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. As of April 30, 2022, the Company has related asset exposure in the form of accounts receivables and inventories of approximately $6.8 million. The Company is monitoring the regional and global ramifications of the events unfolding.

Supply Chain Disruptions

The Company continues to experience supply chain disruptions, including global logistics and labor challenges and constrained supplies of steel, petrochemical products and filter media. These disruptions have increased the Company’s input costs significantly and extended lead times. The Company has undertaken steps to mitigate these negative impacts, such as increasing prices, evaluating alternative supply chain options, qualifying additional suppliers and strategic raw material purchases. This dynamic impacted results through the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and is expected to continue into fiscal 2023.

Inflation

In connection with the supply chain disruptions described above, the Company has experienced the effects of inflation related to raw materials and operating expenses, including freight, labor and energy. These inflationary pressures have had an adverse impact on profit margins, particularly in recent months. The Company continues to negotiate price increases with its customers and is working with its suppliers to mitigate these cost increases. Inflation impacted results through the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and is expected to continue into fiscal 2023.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

The Company considers the applicability and impact of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued but not yet adopted.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) as if the entity had originated the contracts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted. This ASU is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on its financial statements.
