In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Patterson Companies, Inc.

Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended July 25, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending April 24, 2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on June 24, 2020.

PDC Funding III and PDC Funding IV are fully consolidated special purpose entity established to sell certain receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions. The assets of PDC Funding, PDC Funding II, PDC Funding III and PDC Funding IV would be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of its creditors. There are no known creditors of PDC Funding, PDC Funding II, PDC Funding III or PDC Funding IV. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements also include the assets and liabilities of Technology Partner Innovations, LLC, which is further described in Note 7.

Fiscal Year End

We operate with a 52-53 week accounting convention with our fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in April. The first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 represents the 13 weeks ended July 25, 2020 and the 13 weeks ended July 27, 2019, respectively. Fiscal 2021 will include 52 weeks and fiscal 2020 included 52 weeks.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended
	July 25, 2020		July 27, 2019
Gain on investment	$	—	$	34,334
Loss on interest rate swap agreements	(1,195)		(3,785)
Other	3,229		1,368
Other income, net	$	2,034	$	31,917

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is computed as net income including certain other items that are recorded directly to stockholders’ equity. Significant items included in comprehensive income are foreign currency translation adjustments and the effective portion of cash flow hedges, net of tax. Foreign currency translation adjustments do not include a provision for income tax because earnings from foreign operations are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. The income tax expense related to cash flow hedges was $80 and $171 for the three months ended July 25, 2020 and July 27, 2019, respectively.

Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted EPS:


	Three Months Ended
	July 25, 2020	July 27, 2019
Denominator for basic EPS – weighted average shares	95,189	93,795
Effect of dilutive securities – stock options, restricted stock and stock purchase plans	654	828
Denominator for diluted EPS – weighted average shares	95,843	94,623

Potentially dilutive securities representing 2,630 shares for the three months ended July 25, 2020 and 2,151 shares for the three months ended July 27, 2019 were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effects were anti-dilutive using the treasury stock method.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are generated from the sale of consumable products, equipment and support, software and support, technical service parts and labor, and other sources. Revenues are recognized when or as performance obligations are satisfied. Performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods or services.

Consumable, equipment, software and parts sales are recorded upon delivery, except in those circumstances where terms of the sale are FOB shipping point, in which case sales are recorded upon shipment. Technical service labor is recognized as it is provided. Revenue derived from equipment and software support is recognized ratably over the period in which the support is provided.

In addition to revenues generated from the distribution of consumable products under arrangements (buy/sell agreements) where the full market value of the product is recorded as revenue, we earn commissions for services provided under agency agreements. The agency agreement contrasts to a buy/sell agreement in that we do not have control over the transaction, as we do not have the primary responsibility of fulfilling the promise of the good or service and we do not bill or collect from the customer in an agency relationship. Commissions under agency agreements are recorded when the services are provided.

Estimates for returns, damaged goods, rebates, loyalty programs and other revenue allowances are made at the time the revenue is recognized based on the historical experience for such items. The receivables that result from the recognition of revenue are reported net of related allowances. We maintain a valuation allowance based upon the expected collectability of receivables held. Estimates are used to determine the valuation allowance and are based on several factors, including historical collection data, current and forecasted economic trends and credit worthiness of customers. Receivables are written off when we determine the amounts to be uncollectible, typically upon customer bankruptcy or non-response to continuous collection efforts. The portions of receivable amounts that are not expected to be collected during the next twelve months are classified as long-term.

Net sales do not include sales tax as we are considered a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales tax.

Contract Balances

Contract balances represent amounts presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets when either we have transferred goods or services to the customer or the customer has paid consideration to us under the contract. These contract balances include accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities.

Contract asset balances as of July 25, 2020 and April 25, 2020 were $612 and $1,586, respectively. Our contract liabilities primarily relate to advance payments from customers, upfront payments for software and support provided over time, and options that provide a material right to customers, such as our customer loyalty programs. At July 25, 2020 and April 25, 2020, contract liabilities of $22,444 and $21,205 were reported in other accrued liabilities, respectively. During the three months ended July 25, 2020, we recognized $5,455 of the amount previously deferred at April 25, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
