Customer Advances and Deferred Revenue
Revenue is deferred when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. This is also the case for services associated with certain product sales. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $11.2 million and $52.0 million, respectively, that was included in deferred revenue at December 31, 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 24, 2021, we recognized $16.4 million and $40.4 million, respectively, that was included in deferred revenue at December 25, 2020.

| Forward exchange contracts | 2 | | — | | | 111 | |
| Total liabilities at fair value | | | $ | 19,965 | | | $ | 18,347 | |
Contracts insuring the lives of certain employees who are eligible to participate in certain non-qualified pension and deferred compensation plans are held in trust. Cash surrender value of the contracts is based on performance measurement funds that shadow the deferral investment allocations made by participants in certain deferred compensation plans. The deferred compensation liability balances are valued based on amounts allocated by participants to the underlying performance measurement funds.
Contingent consideration liability represents the estimated value (using a probability-weighted expected return approach) of future payments to be made to previous owners of certain acquired businesses based on future revenues.
Long-term notes payable with fixed interest rates had a carrying amount of $75 million and estimated fair value of $75 million as of September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the long- term notes had a carrying amount of $150 million and estimated fair value of $165 million. The fair value of variable rate borrowings approximates carrying value. The Company uses significant other observable inputs to estimate fair value (level 2 of the fair value hierarchy) based on the present value of future cash flows and rates that would be available for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Item 2. GRACO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Company supplies technology and expertise for the management of fluids and coatings in both industrial and commercial applications. It designs, manufactures and markets systems and equipment to move, measure, control, dispense and spray fluid and coating materials. Management classifies the Company’s business into three reportable segments: Industrial, Process and Contractor. Key strategies include developing and marketing new products, leveraging products and technologies into additional, growing end-user markets, expanding distribution globally and completing strategic acquisitions that provide additional channel and technologies.
The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental, business and societal responses continue to have an impact on our operations, supply chains, distribution channels, and end-user customers. The timing, duration, and extent of the impact from the pandemic in our major geographies is still uncertain and we cannot predict the magnitude of the impact to the results of our operations or financial position.
The Company continues to experience logistical and production constraints associated with raw materials and purchased components. These constraints were due to limited raw material and component availability, reduced freight capacity, shipping delays, and labor shortages as a result of responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and other supply chain disruptions. We also have experienced the effects of price inflation related to raw materials, purchased components, and freight and transportation costs. The supply chain disruptions and associated effects of inflation have adversely impacted profitability in the near-term and limited our ability to satisfy strengthening customer demand, especially within our high-volume Contractor segment. We expect these challenges to continue through the remainder of 2022.
The Company also has historically sold products to customers located in or associated with Russia and Belarus. In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Switzerland and others have implemented sanctions and export controls targeting Russia and Belarus and entities associated with those countries, which significantly limits our ability to sell certain products, serve certain customers and collect on our outstanding receivables in those countries. In the first quarter of 2022, we decided to suspend sales into Russia and Belarus for the time being. Sales to Russia and Belarus accounted for approximately 1.5% of our 2021 net sales and were not material for the first three quarters of 2022.
The duration and extent to which the pandemic and trade sanctions against Russia and Belarus affect the Company's business will depend on future developments which still remain uncertain.
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis reviews significant factors affecting the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

(1) See below for a reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP.
Sales increased 12 percent for the quarter and 10 percent year to date, with increases in all segments. Changes in currency translation rates reduced worldwide sales by $20 million (5 percentage points) for the quarter and $43 million (3 percentage points) for the year to date. Sales from acquired operations contributed approximately $3 million (1 percentage point) for the quarter and $8 million (1 percentage point) for the year to date.
Gross profit margin rates for the quarter and year to date decreased 3 percentage points as strong realized pricing was unable to offset higher product costs and unfavorable currency translation.
Total operating expenses decreased $6 million (5 percentage points) for the quarter and $8 million (2 percentage points) for the year to date primarily due to lower sales and earnings-based expenses. Expense leverage largely offset the effects of lower gross profit margin rates on operating earnings.
Excluding the impact of excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises and certain non-recurring tax provision adjustments presents a more consistent basis for comparison of financial results. A calculation of the non-GAAP measurements of adjusted income taxes, effective income tax rates, net earnings and diluted earnings per share follows (in millions except per share amounts):

Gross Profit
Gross profit margin rates for the quarter and year to date decreased 3 percentage points from the comparable periods last year. Realized pricing was unable to offset continued increases in product costs and the adverse impacts of changes in currency translation rates.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the quarter decreased $6 million (5 percent) compared to the third quarter last year. Reductions of $5 million from the impact of currency translation and $3 million from lower sales and earnings-based expenses were partially offset by volume and rate related increases. Year-to-date operating expenses decreased $8 million compared to the same period last year. Reductions of $10 million from the impact of currency translation and $10 million from lower sales and earnings-based expenses were partially offset by $3 million of allowances for credit losses on customer receivables in Russia and other volume and rate related increases.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $1 million for the year to date and includes a $3.5 million fee related to the prepayment of private placement debt in the first quarter of 2022.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 18 percent for the quarter and 19 percent for the year to date, up 3 percentage points, respectively, from the comparable periods last year. The increase was primarily due to decreases in excess tax benefits from stock option exercises and the unfavorable effects of foreign earnings taxed at higher rates than the U.S.
Segment Results
Certain measurements of segment operations compared to last year are summarized below:
Industrial Segment

| Segment Total | 8% | | 0% | | (7)% | | 1% | | 12% | | 0% | | (5)% | | 7% |
For both the quarter and year to date, strong Industrial segment sales growth in the Americas and Asia Pacific was partially offset by weakness in EMEA due to unfavorable macroeconomic conditions. The operating margin rate increased for both the quarter and year to date as strong realized pricing and expense leverage more than offset higher product costs and the adverse impacts of currency translation.

The Process segment had broad-based double-digit sales growth in all product applications and regions for the quarter and year to date. The operating margin rate for this segment increased 2 percentage points for the quarter and 1 percentage point for the year to date as increased volume and expense leverage offset higher product costs, unfavorable product and channel mix and the adverse impacts of currency translation.

| Segment Total | 16% | | 0% | | (4)% | | 12% | | 6% | | 1% | | (3)% | | 4% |
Contractor segment sales increased 12 percent for the quarter compared to last year due to improved product availability. Sales increased 4 percent for the year to date primarily due to continued strength in North American construction markets. Price realization, favorable product and channel mix and expense leverage offset higher product costs for the quarter, which resulted in a consistent operating margin rate compared to last year. For the year to date, the operating margin rate decreased 3 percentage points primarily due to higher product costs and the adverse impacts of currency translation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities of $272 million decreased $86 million from the comparable period last year, mostly driven by increased salary and incentive payments, increased inventory purchases to meet demand levels and higher accounts receivable that reflect growth in business activity through the 2022 year to date. Significant uses of cash in 2022 included share repurchases of $155 million, plant and equipment additions of $147 million, dividend payments of $107 million, prepayment of long-term debt of $75 million, and $25 million to acquire businesses that were not material to the consolidated financial statements. Proceeds from shares issued in 2022 totaled $28 million.
Significant uses of cash in 2021 included dividend payments of $95 million, property, plant and equipment additions of $83 million and $19 million to acquire businesses that were not material to the consolidated financial statements. Proceeds from shares issued in 2021 totaled $40 million.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had available liquidity of $941 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $415 million, of which $275 million was held outside of the U.S., and available credit under existing committed credit facilities of $526 million.
Cash balances and unused financing sources are expected to provide the Company with the flexibility to meet its liquidity needs in 2022, including its capital expenditure plan, planned dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions and operating requirements. Capital expenditures for 2022 are expected to be approximately $230 million, including $130 million in facility expansion projects. The Company may make opportunistic share repurchases going forward.
Outlook
Demand worldwide remains solid despite uncertain macroeconomic conditions. For the full-year 2022, the Company is raising its target to low double-digit sales growth on an organic, constant currency basis.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A.Risk Factors
Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Russian Invasion of Ukraine – Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the sanctions and actions taken against Russia and Belarus in response to the invasion, could adversely impact our business.
While our sales into Russia and Belarus are not material to our overall business, and we do not have any physical operations in Russia or Belarus or source raw materials or components directly from either country, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions and actions taken against Russia and Belarus by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Switzerland and others have considerably depressed demand for our products in Russia and Belarus and restricted our ability to sell certain products in those countries. As a result, we have decided to suspend sales into Russia and Belarus for the time being. We expect demand for our products in Russia and Belarus to remain depressed, and our ability to sell certain products in Russia and Belarus to continue to be restricted, for the foreseeable future. A significant escalation or expansion of the conflict beyond its current geographic, political and economic scope and scale could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and could exacerbate other risks discussed in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such risks include, but are not limited to: an increase in the frequency and severity of the cybersecurity threats we and various third parties with whom we do business experience; unfavorable changes in exchange rates; further shortages, delivery delays and price inflation in a wide variety of raw materials and components; widespread reductions in end-user demand; and increased logistical challenges.
Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On April 24, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 18 million shares of its outstanding common stock, primarily through open-market transactions. There were approximately 3.3 million shares remaining under the authorization on December 7, 2018, when the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to an additional 18 million shares. The authorizations are for an indefinite period of time or until terminated by the Board. Shares available for purchase under the April 2015 authorization were exhausted in the first quarter of 2022. Therefore, the Company will no longer purchase shares under the April 2015 authorization, and all purchases during the third quarter of 2022 were made under the December 2018 authorization.
In addition to shares purchased under the Board authorizations, the Company purchases shares of common stock held by employees who wish to tender owned shares to satisfy the exercise price or tax due upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock.
