Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

TESSCO Technologies Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (TESSCO, we, or the Company), architects and delivers innovative product and value chain solutions to support wireless systems. The Company provides marketing and sales services, knowledge and supply chain management, product-solution delivery and control systems utilizing extensive internet and information technology. Approximately 98% of the Company’s sales are made to customers in the United States. The Company takes orders in several ways, including phone, fax, online and through electronic data interchange. Almost all of the Company’s sales are made in United States Dollars.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the interim periods presented. These statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been omitted from these statements, as permitted under the applicable rules and regulations. The results of operations presented in the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2022, filed with SEC on May 26, 2022.

On October 28, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive Inventory Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) which, at a closing held on December 2, 2020, resulted in the Company’s exit from its retail business through the sale to Voice Comm, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Voice Comm”), of most of the Company’s retail inventory, the Ventev brand as it relates to mobile device accessory products, and certain other retail-related assets. The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements for all fiscal year 2022 periods presented reflect the results of the Retail segment as a discontinued operation. The activity related to discontinued operations for fiscal year 2023 has been immaterial and therefore is included within results from continuing operations. See Note 10, “Discontinued Operations”, for further information.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt the standard on the first day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year.

Note 3. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 25, 2022, consists of capitalized software for internal use, and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Capitalized software for internal use, net of accumulated amortization, was $38,859,000 and $29,463,100 as of December 25, 2022 and March 27, 2022, respectively. Amortization expense of capitalized software for internal use was $143,400 and $263,200 for the three months ended December 25, 2022 and December 26, 2021, respectively. Amortization expense of capitalized software for internal use was $498,600 and $658,400 for the nine months ended December 25, 2022 and December 26, 2021, respectively.  During the nine months ended December 25, 2022, and December 26, 2021, the Company continued to capitalize costs related to an ongoing information technology project. This project was launched during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023; accordingly, amortization of the project costs will commence in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets were $795,400 as of December 25, 2022 and March 27, 2022.

Note 4. Borrowings Under Revolving Credit Facility

On October 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement among the Company, the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries as co-borrowers, the Lender(s) party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”), as Administrative Agent, swingline lender and an issuing bank. Terms used, but not defined, in this and the following paragraphs of this Note 4 have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement (as defined below) or the related Guaranty and Security Agreement. This facility replaced a previously existing credit facility among the Company and certain subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto (which included Wells) and Truist Bank (successor by merger to SunTrust Bank), as administrative agent. The discussion below is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Credit Agreement and related documents, including Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, and references below to the “Credit Agreement” include the Credit Agreement, together with such amendments, except in each case where otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

The Credit Agreement, as amended in Amendment No. 4 discussed below, now provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $105 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a $10 million Availability Block that is in effect at all times, which effectively limits the maximum borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to $95 million. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 29, 2025 and includes a $5.0 million letter of credit sublimit and provides for the issuance of Swingline Loans. The Credit Agreement also includes a provision permitting the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the aggregate amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to an aggregate commitment amount of up to $155 million with optional additional commitments from then existing Lenders or new commitments from additional lenders, although no Lender is obligated to increase its commitment. Availability is determined in accordance with the Borrowing Base, which is generally 85% of Eligible Accounts minus the Dilution Reserve, plus a calculated value of Eligible Inventory aged less than 181 days plus the lesser of an Aged Inventory Cap (currently $2,250,000 and which reduces over time to $2,000,000) and a calculated value of Inventory aged more than 180 days minus a calculated Reserve, as further detailed and set forth in the Credit Agreement.

When the facility was initially established pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Borrowings accrued interest from the applicable borrowing date:  (A) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, (i) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was less than 1.10:1.00, then the LIBOR Rate plus 2.25% or (ii) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was greater than or equal to 1.10:1.00, then the LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%; (B) if a Base Rate Loan, (i) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

8

was less than 1.10:1.00, then the Base Rate plus 1.25% or (ii) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was greater than or equal to 1.10:1.00, then the Base Rate plus 1.00%.

Pursuant to Amendment No. 4, Borrowings now accrue interest from the applicable borrowing date:  (A) if a SOFR Rate Loan, (i) at a per annum rate equal to the SOFR Rate plus a SOFR Adjustment of 10 basis points (to remain pricing neutral for transition from LIBOR to SOFR) plus the SOFR Rate Margin of 2.25% until the later of December 31, 2023 and meeting a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the trailing twelve months of not less than 1.0 to 1.0, and (ii) thereafter, at a per annum rate equal to the SOFR Rate plus a SOFR Adjustment of 10 basis points (to remain pricing neutral for transition from LIBOR to SOFR) plus the SOFR Rate Margin of 1.75% if Excess Availability is greater than 30%, 2.00% if Excess Availability is at least 20% but less than or equal to 30%, and 2.25% if Excess Availability is less than 20% or (B) if a Base Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin of 1.25% until the later of December 31, 2023 and meeting a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the trailing twelve months of not less than 1.0 to 1.0, and (ii) thereafter, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin of 0.75% if Excess Availability is greater than 30%, of 1.00% if Excess Availability is at least 20% but less than or equal to 30%, and of 1.25% if Excess Availability is less than 20%. Excess Availability for these purposes is determined without giving effect to the $10 million Availability Block.

The Company was previously required to pay a monthly Unused Line Fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility at a per annum rate equal to 0.25%. Pursuant to Amendment No. 4, the Company is now required to pay a monthly Unused Line Fee based on the average quarterly revolver usage, at a per annum rate equal to 0.25% of the unused Revolving Credit Facility if usage is greater than 50%, and 0.50% of the unused Revolving Credit Facility if usage is less than 50%.

The Credit Agreement contains one financial covenant, a 1:1 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, which was historically only tested if Excess Availability (generally, borrowing availability less the aggregate of trade payables and book overdrafts, each in excess of historical amounts), without giving effect to the $10 million Availability Block, is less than the greater of (a) 15% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and (b) $15,750,000. Pursuant to Amendment No. 3, as discussed below, the Company was relieved of any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio testing through calendar year 2022, without regard to the amount of Excess Availability during that period. The covenant has been re-imposed pursuant to Amendment No. 4, however, but only if Excess Availability falls below that described above. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains provisions that could limit our ability to engage in specified transactions or activities, including (but not limited to) investments and acquisitions, sales of assets, payment of dividends, issuance of additional debt and other matters.

As of December 25, 2022, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $61.6 million and, therefore, the Company had $33.4 million available for borrowing, subject to the Borrowing Base limitation and compliance with the other applicable terms referenced herein, and including the $10 million Availability Block discussed above. The Revolving Credit Facility has no lockbox arrangement associated with it and, therefore the outstanding balance is classified as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 25, 2022. Accordingly, borrowings from and repayments to the Company’s current line of credit are reflected on a gross basis in the cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company is required to make certain prepayments under the Revolving Credit Facility under certain circumstances, including from net cash proceeds from certain asset dispositions in excess of certain thresholds.

The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and affirmative covenants. The Credit Agreement also contains negative covenants and restrictions on, among other things: (i) Indebtedness, (ii) liens, (iii) fundamental changes, (iv) disposition of assets, (v) restricted payments (including certain restrictions on

9

redemptions and dividends), (vi) investments and (vii) transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains events of default, such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, misrepresentations, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a Change of Control and the failure to observe the negative covenants and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents.

Pursuant to a related Guaranty and Security Agreement, by and among the Company, the other borrowers under the Credit Agreement and other operating subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Loan Parties”), and Wells, as Administrative Agent, the Obligations, which include the obligations under the Credit Agreement, are guaranteed by the Loan Parties, and secured by continuing first priority security interests in the Company’s and the other Loan Parties’ (including both borrowers and guarantors) Accounts, Books, Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts, General Intangibles, Inventory, Negotiable Collateral, Supporting Obligations, and all Money, Cash Equivalents or other assets that come into the possession, custody or control of the Agent or any Lender, and certain related assets, and the proceeds and products of any of the foregoing (the “Collateral”). The security interests in the Collateral are in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement from time to time and any other holders of the Obligations. The Obligations secured also include certain other obligations of the Loan Parties to the Lenders and their affiliates arising from time to time, relating to swaps, hedges and cash management and other bank products.

On December 25, 2022, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 6.67%. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 was 6.08%.

Following an Event of Default, the Lenders may at their option increase the applicable per annum rate to a rate equal to two percentage points above the otherwise applicable rate and, with certain events of default, such increase is automatic.

Amendment No. 1

Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated July 12, 2021 (“Amendment No. 1”), between Tessco and Wells, Wells agreed to a 25-basis point reduction in certain otherwise applicable rates and fees over an agreed period, and the Company and Wells agreed to, among others, certain changes related to the LIBOR rate option to simplify day-to-day management of the Revolving Credit Facility. These terms have since been further amended and, pursuant to Amendment No. 4 (as defined below), these interest rate terms have been superseded, with the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin now as discussed above.

Amendment No. 2

In anticipation of TESSCO Reno Holding, LLC (“Reno Holding”) entering into the Real Estate Note of Reno Holding (the “Note”), as discussed further in Note 5, the Company, TESSCO Inc. and our other operating subsidiaries, and Wells, entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement and Consent dated December 29, 2021 (“Amendment No. 2”). Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, and subject to its terms and conditions, among other things, Wells consented to the Note, without requiring that Reno Holding become a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement.

Amendment No. 3

On January 5, 2022, at the Company’s request, the Company and its operating subsidiaries, and Wells, entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to Guaranty and Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”), subject to the terms and conditions of which Wells agreed to increase the Commitment

10

under the Revolving Credit Facility from $75 million to $80 million. Among the terms and conditions, the Company agreed to revert to the interest rate margins originally provided for under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility (and which margins had previously been modified pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement), as well as change to the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin, as discussed above, and agreed to a $10 million Availability Block for calendar year 2022, but was relieved of any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio testing for the same period without regard to the amount of Excess Availability during that period. Amendment No. 3 further provided that a $15 million Excess Availability requirement would be imposed as of January 1, 2023, unless a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1:1 is achieved. The Company did not meet the Fixed Charge Covenant Ratio, and as a result, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility for the remainder of calendar 2022 (subject to Amendment No. 4, discussed below) was $70 million after accounting for the Availability Block and was scheduled to reduce to $65 million on January 1, 2023 upon the scheduled expiration of the Availability Block and re-imposition of the Excess Availability requirement, in each case subject to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with the other terms.

Amendment No. 4

On December 8, 2022, the Company and Wells entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”) under which the Commitment under the pre-existing Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $80 million to $105 million, among other things. Amendment No. 4 amended and restated the original Credit Agreement in its entirety. Availability is still determined in accordance with a Borrowing Base formula and, pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 4, the $10 million Availability Block has been continued beyond calendar year-end 2022, indefinitely. As a result, the outstanding balance cannot exceed $95 million at any time. The maturity date has been extended to April 29, 2025. As discussed above, the 1:1 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant was re-imposed and is now tested pursuant to Amendment No. 4, but only if Excess Availability falls below the threshold discussed above.  

In addition, Amendment No. 4 provided for a change from a LIBOR-based primary rate to one based on SOFR, as well as changes to the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin and the imposition of a $42 million Inventory Cap as a Borrowing Base component. Amendment No. 4 also changed the financial predicates for applicability of the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Cash Dominion Period, taking into consideration the increase in Commitment. In addition, the Company agreed that in no event will the mortgage on its Hunt Valley, Maryland property be released prior to December 31, 2023, and only if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio thereafter is at least 1.10 to 1.00 for six consecutive months and Excess Availability is at least $22.5 million for thirty consecutive days.

Note 5. Debt

On December 30, 2021, Reno Holding, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary and now owner of the Company’s approximately 115,000 square foot operating facility located in Reno, Nevada (the “Reno Facility”), borrowed an aggregate sum of $6.5 million from Symetra Life Insurance Company (“Symetra”). The indebtedness is evidenced by the Note that provides for monthly payments of $47,858 (including principal and interest), bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.38% per annum for the first 5 years, is subject to adjustment after 5 years and again after 10 years, and matures in approximately 15 years. The Note and related obligations are secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Deed of Trust”) on the Reno Facility. The net proceeds from this borrowing transaction (the “Symetra Loan”) have since been applied to repayment of a portion of the revolving balance under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. An additional $250,000 is to be advanced under the Symetra Loan after roof and possible related repairs to the Reno Facility are satisfactorily completed. The Symetra Loan is limited recourse to the Reno Facility, with typical exceptions

11

in which case it is recourse to Reno Holding, a special purpose entity formed by the Company to own the Reno Facility and related assets.

The principal maturities of debt outstanding at December 25, 2022, were as follows:

Fiscal Year
2023	$	89,500
2024		365,700
2025		378,200
2026		391,200
2027		404,600
Thereafter		4,799,000
Total	$	6,428,200

Note 6. Earnings Per Share

The Company presents the computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) on a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common shares are excluded from the calculation if they are determined to be anti-dilutive. The number of diluted weighted-average common shares was 9,217,148 for the three months ended December 25, 2022, and 9,187,995 for the nine months ended December 25, 2022. At December 25, 2022, stock options with respect to 659,500 shares of common stock were outstanding, of which 564,500 were anti-dilutive and not included in diluted EPS because the stock options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. There were no anti-dilutive performance stock units (“PSUs”) or restricted stock units (RSUs”) outstanding as of December 25, 2022.

Note 7. Business Segments

The Company has two reportable segments, Carrier and Commercial, which are identified based on the information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and are consistent with how the business is managed. Carrier is generally comprised of customers who build and maintain the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers, whereas Commercial includes value-added resellers, the government channel and private system operator markets. Ventev®, the Company’s proprietary brand that manufactures products, is primarily included in the Commercial segment. There is a mix of products that the Company sells that are marketed to both segments, as well as certain product classes that primarily serve one segment. As a value-add distributor of products from over 300 manufacturers, the Company sells products across a large number of product groups and industries and, as a result, it is impracticable to provide segment information at the product group level. Inventory typically has a life cycle that tends to be tied to changes in regulation or technology and includes products typically used by business entities or governments.

12

Segment activity for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
		December 25, 2022		December 26, 2021		December 25, 2022		December 26, 2021
Revenues
Carrier	$	48,627	$	43,409	$	147,745	$	136,348
Commercial		66,253		59,053		200,120		179,607
Total revenues	$	114,880	$	102,462	$	347,864	$	315,955
Gross Profit
Carrier	$	6,354	$	5,484	$	19,492	$	16,365
Commercial		17,337		14,137		50,757		42,738
Total gross profit	$	23,691	$	19,621	$	70,249	$	59,103

The table below presents total assets by reportable segments. For the Carrier and Commercial segments, total assets are primarily comprised of accounts receivable.

		December 25, 2022		March 27, 2022
Total Assets
Carrier	$	38,427	$	38,705
Commercial		40,632		36,797
Corporate		150,679		127,012
Total assets	$	229,737	$	202,513

The CODM reviews segment results using Gross profit as the segment measure of profit or loss and the Company does not allocate expenses below Gross profit to the segments.

Note 8. Shares Withheld

The Company withholds shares of common stock from its employees and directors at their request, equal to the minimum federal and state tax withholdings or proceeds due to the Company related to vested PSUs, stock option exercises and vested RSUs. Shares withheld are issued to Treasury stock and included in the number of shares of common stock issued, but are excluded from the number of shares of common stock outstanding. For the nine months ended December 25, 2022 and December 26, 2021, the aggregate value of the shares withheld totaled $158,100 and $66,400 respectively.

Note 9. Concentration of Risk

The Company’s future results could be negatively impacted by the loss of certain customer and/or vendor relationships.

For the three months ended December 25, 2022 and December 26, 2021, revenue from the Company’s largest customer accounted for 11.9% and 10.0% of revenue.

13

For the nine months ended December 25, 2022 and December 26, 2021, no customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues in any period.

For the three months ended December 25, 2022 and December 26, 2021, sales of products purchased from the Company’s largest supplier accounted for 27.7% and 26.4% of revenue from continuing operations, respectively. No other suppliers accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues in either quarter.

For the nine months ended December 25, 2022 and December 26, 2021, sales of products purchased from the Company’s largest supplier accounted for 30.6% and 29.6% of revenue from continuing operations, respectively. No other suppliers accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues in either period.

Note 10. Discontinued Operations

At a closing on December 2, 2020, the Company sold most of its retail inventory, the Ventev brand as it relates to mobile device accessory products, and certain other retail-related assets to Voice Comm, LLC (“Voice Comm”). As part of the sale agreement, the Company is entitled to royalty payments of up to $3.0 million in the aggregate on the sale of Ventev branded products by Voice Comm over a four-year period after the closing.

As a result of the disposal described above, the operating results of the former Retail segment have been included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes, in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for fiscal year 2022. Due to the immateriality of the ongoing results from this former Retail segment, fiscal year 2023 activity has been consolidated within the results from continuing operations.

The following table presents the financial results of the Retail segment for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2021:

	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	December 26, 2021		December 26, 2021
Revenues	$	383,800	$	2,992,700
Cost of goods sold		56,700		1,179,600
Gross profit		327,100		1,813,100
Selling, general and administrative expenses		83,200		636,400
Income (loss) from operations before income taxes		243,900		1,176,700
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes		100		(11,200)
Net income (loss) attributable to discontinued operations	$	243,800	$	1,187,900

The financial results reflected above may not fully represent our former Retail segment stand-alone operating net income, as the results reported within Net income attributable to discontinued operations include only certain costs that are directly attributable to this former segment and exclude certain corporate overhead and operational costs that may have been previously allocated for each period.

In our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this Form 10-Q report, the cash flows from discontinued operations are not separately classified. Cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations for the nine months ended December 26, 2021, was $4.6 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This commentary should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 26, 2022.

Business Overview and Environment

TESSCO architects and delivers innovative product and value chain solutions to support wireless systems. Although we sell products to customers in many countries, approximately 98% of our sales are made to customers in the United States. We have operations and office facilities in Hunt Valley, Maryland, and Reno, Nevada.

On December 2, 2020, we sold most of our Retail inventory and certain other retail-related assets to Voice Comm and exited the retail business. As a result of the disposal, the operating results of our former Retail segment were included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for fiscal year 2022. The activity related to discontinued operations for fiscal year 2023 has been immaterial and, therefore, is included within results from continuing operations

We now operate as two reportable segments: Carrier and Commercial, for which we provide certain information. Carrier is generally comprised of customers who build and maintain the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers, whereas Commercial includes value-added resellers, the government channel, and private system operator markets.

We offer a wide range of products that are classified into three categories: base station infrastructure; network systems; and installation, test, and maintenance. Base station infrastructure products are used to build, repair, and upgrade wireless telecommunication networks. Sales of traditional base station infrastructure products, such as base station radios, cable and transmission lines, and antennas are in part dependent on capital spending in the wireless communications industry. Network systems products are used to build and upgrade computing and internet networks. In this category, we have also been expanding our offerings of wireless broadband, network equipment, security and surveillance products, which are not as dependent on the overall capital spending of the industry. Installation, test, and maintenance products are used to install, tune, and maintain wireless communications equipment. This category is made up of sophisticated analysis equipment and various frequency-, voltage- and power-measuring devices, replacement parts and components as well as an assortment of tools, hardware and supplies required by service technicians. Inventory typically has a life cycle that tends to be tied to changes in regulation or technology and includes products typically used by business entities or governments.

The wireless communications distribution industry is competitive and fragmented, and is comprised of several national distributors. In addition, many manufacturers sell direct to end-user customers. Barriers to entry for distributors are relatively low, and the risk of new competitors entering the market is high. Consolidation of larger wireless carriers has and will most likely continue to impact our current and potential customer base. In addition, the agreements or arrangements with our customers or suppliers looking to us for product and supply chain solutions are typically of limited duration and are terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise short notice. Our ability to maintain these relationships is subject to competitive pressures and challenges and depends upon a number of factors that often differ for each relationship. We believe, however, that our strength in service, the breadth and depth of our product offerings, our large customer base, and our purchasing relationships with approximately 300 manufacturers provide us with a significant competitive advantage over new entrants to the market.

Results of Continuing Operations

Third quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 Compared with Third quarter of Fiscal Year 2022

Total Revenues. Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 12.1% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Revenues in our Commercial segment increased 12.2%, and revenues in our Carrier segment increased 12.0%.  The increase in Commercial segment revenues was primarily attributable to gaining additional market share, a more favorable product mix, and increased customer pricing. The increase in the Carrier segment was primarily due to gaining additional market share and increased customer pricing.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 10.1% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Cost of goods sold in our Commercial and Carrier segments increased by 8.9% and 11.5%, respectively. The increase in cost of goods sold in both segments was largely driven by changes in revenues, as discussed above.

Total Gross Profit. Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased by 20.7% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. This increase was primarily due to increased revenues, a more favorable customer and product mix, and increased freight charged to customers. Overall gross profit margin increased from 19.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 to 20.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross profit margin in our Commercial segment increased to 26.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 from 23.9% in the same quarter last year. The increase is primarily attributable to product and customer mix, including higher sales of our higher margin Ventev^® products. Gross profit margin in our Carrier segment increased to 13.1% from 12.6% in the same quarter last year. This improvement is primarily related to changes in customer and product mix. Gross margins in both segments were positively impacted by higher freight charged to customers in response to and to partially offset increased freight costs incurred, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 17.1% or $3.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 18.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, to 19.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase of $2.2 million in compensation and benefits and an increase of $0.7 million in freight out. The compensation and benefits increase is primarily attributable to a $1.1 million increase in rewards expense (reflecting favorable bonus accrual adjustments in the prior year quarter as compared to continuing bonus expense accruals in the current year quarter), a $0.8 million increase in base compensation related to our business generation and information technologies team, and $0.5 million increase in variable compensation due to improved overall results. The increase in freight out is attributable to higher revenues and increased freight carrier costs as a result of inflationary impacts.

Interest, Net. Net interest expense increased from $131,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 to $516,400 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. This increase is due to both significantly higher interest rates and an increase in the average amount outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the prior year same quarter. In addition, capitalized interest increased from $144,900 in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 to $600,900 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, which is attributable to higher interest expense and an increase in capital expenditures associated with our ongoing information technology project.

16

We expect significantly lower capitalized interest in future periods due to the launch of this technology project in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Income Taxes, Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share. The Company reported an income tax provision of $34,200 in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to a benefit of $1.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The income tax benefit of $1.1 million in the prior year quarter related to a change in the tax accounting method for computer software development costs, which was adopted during that quarter. Net income of $0.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased slightly from net income of $1.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Diluted earnings per share was $0.05 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $0.14 per share for the corresponding prior-year quarter.

First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2023 Compared with First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2022

Total Revenues. Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 increased 10.1% compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Revenues in our Commercial segment increased 11.4%, and revenues in our Carrier segment increased 8.4%.  The increase in Commercial segment revenues was primarily attributable to gaining additional market share, a more favorable product mix, and increased customer pricing. The increase in the Carrier segment was primarily due to gaining additional market share and increased customer pricing.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 increased 8.1% compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Cost of goods sold in our Commercial and Carrier segments increased by 9.1% and 6.9%, respectively. The increase in cost of goods sold in both segments was largely driven by changes in revenues, as discussed above.

Total Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 increased by 18.9% compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2022. This increase was primarily due to increased revenues, a more favorable customer and product mix, and increased freight charged to customers. Overall gross profit margin increased from 18.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 to 20.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. Gross profit margin in our Commercial segment increased to 25.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 from 23.8% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The increase is primarily attributable to product and customer mix, including higher sales of our higher margin Ventev^® products. Gross profit margin in our Carrier segment increased to 13.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 from 12.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. This improvement is primarily related to changes in customer and product mix. Gross margins in both segments were positively impacted by higher freight charged to customers in response to and to partially offset increased freight costs incurred, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 9.4% or $5.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 19.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, to 19.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in corporate support expenses, an increase of $1.8 million in freight out, an increase of $1.3 million in information technology expense, and an increase of $1.3 million in rewards expense. The corporate support expenses increase is attributable to higher professional services expense and higher recruiting expense for new talent acquisition. The increase in freight out is attributable to higher revenues and increased freight carrier costs as a result of inflationary impacts. The increase in information technology expense is primarily attributable to an increase in software maintenance and ERP expenses. The increase in rewards expense is attributable to

17

favorable bonus accrual adjustments in the prior year period as compared to continuing bonus expense accruals in the current fiscal year.

Interest, Net. Net interest expense increased from $0.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 to $1.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. This increase is due to both significantly higher interest rates and an increase in the average amount outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2022. In addition, capitalized interest increased from $0.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 to $1.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, which is attributable to higher interest expense and an increase in capital expenditures associated with our ongoing information technology project. We expect significantly lower capitalized interest in future periods following the launch of this technology project in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Income Taxes, Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share. The Company reported an income tax benefit of $46,600 in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 as compared to a benefit of $1.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Net income of $1.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 improved significantly from the net loss of $2.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Diluted earnings per share was $0.14 for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to a loss of $0.26 per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended December 25, 2022 and December 26, 2021.

	Nine Months Ended
	December 25, 2022		December 26, 2021
Cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(9,075,900)	$	297,600
Cash flow provided by (used in) investing activities		(13,501,900)		(7,988,300)
Cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities		24,095,600		7,702,900
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	1,517,800	$	12,200

Net cash used in operating activities was $9.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $0.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Net cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2023 was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $3.9 million and an increase in inventory of $14.9 million, offset by a decrease in income taxes receivable of $3.7 million and an increase in accounts payable of $3.9 million. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to higher sales volume in fiscal year 2023. The increase in inventory is primarily attributable to improvements in the supply chain and the resulting higher availability of some products, at the same time that the constrained availability of other products prevented the Company from shipping completed orders to customers. The decrease in income taxes receivable was primarily attributable to the Company receiving federal tax refunds in fiscal year 2023 associated with the CARES Act net operating loss carrybacks for prior tax years. Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2022 was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.7 million, a decrease in inventory of $2.7 million and a decrease in income taxes receivable of $3.1 million, partially offset by the net loss of $1.1 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $6.1 million. The fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable were normal in the ordinary course of business, due to timing changes in working capital balances, while the income tax receivable was attributable to receipt of federal tax refunds from prior tax years.

Net cash used in investing activities was $13.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $8.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 cash outflow is primarily attributable to the Company’s investments in information technology.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $24.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $7.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 cash inflow is primarily attributable to the Company’s utilization of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility

On October 29, 2020, we entered into a Credit Agreement among the Company, the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries as co-borrowers, the Lender(s) party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”), as Administrative Agent, swingline lender and an issuing bank, and terminated our previous secured Revolving Credit Facility. This Credit Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety on December 8, 2022, pursuant to Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement, discussed below (the Credit Agreement, as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”). Terms used, but not defined, in this paragraph have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement or the related Guaranty and Security Agreement, and the description below refers to the Credit Agreement as in effect at fiscal quarter ended December 25, 2022 and without regard to subsequent events.

The Credit Agreement now provides for a senior secured asset- based revolving credit facility of up to $105 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures on April 29, 2025. There is a $10 million Availability Block in effect at all times, which effectively limits our borrowing capacity to a maximum amount of $95 million, further subject to Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with other terms. As of December 25, 2022, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $61.6 million; therefore, we then had $33.4 million available, subject to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with the other applicable terms of the Credit Agreement, including the financial and other covenants discussed or referred to in Note 4 to our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Note 4”). We do not now, nor do we expect in the near future to, meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (a covenant triggered if Excess Availability (without giving effect to the Availability Block) is less than the greater of (a) 15% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and (b) $15,750,000) and, therefore our current availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to $89.3 million, subject also to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with other terms. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the rates discussed in Note 4.

We believe that our existing cash, payments from customers and current and anticipated future availability under the secured Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our operations for at least the next twelve months.

To minimize interest expense, our policy is to apply excess available cash to reduce the balance outstanding from time to time on our secured Revolving Credit Facility.  Our increased focus over the past several years on business opportunities for sales to our Carrier customers and IT projects led to the recent expansion of our borrowing limits, as now reflected by the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, and has at times resulted in increased borrowings and dependence on that facility. If we were to undertake an acquisition or other major capital purchases that require funds in excess of existing sources of liquidity, we would look to sources of funding from additional credit facilities, debt and/or equity issuances. As of December 25, 2022, we do not have any material capital expenditure commitments.

On December 30, 2021, TESSCO Reno Holding LLC (“Reno Holding”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary and now owner of the Company‘s approximately 115,000 square foot operating facility located in Reno, Nevada

19

(the “Reno Facility”), borrowed an aggregate sum of $6.5 million from Symetra Life Insurance Company. The indebtedness is evidenced by a Real Estate Note (“Note”) of Reno Holding that provides for monthly payments of $47,858 (including principal and interest), bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.38% per annum for the first 5 years, is subject to adjustment after 5 years and again after 10 years, and matures in approximately 15 years. See Note 5 to our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion related to the Note.

In addition, our liquidity could be negatively impacted by decreasing revenues and profits resulting from a decrease in demand for our products or a reduction in capital expenditures by our customers, or by the weakened financial conditions of our customers or suppliers, in each case as a result of a downturn in the global economy, among other factors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

A description of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 2 to our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a detailed discussion on our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 26, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “plans,” “should,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words or phrases does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward looking. Forward looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those described in or contemplated by any such forward-looking statement for a variety of reasons, including those risks identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other periodic reports filed with the SEC, under the heading “Risk Factors” and otherwise. Consequently, the reader is cautioned to consider all forward-looking statements in light of the risks to which they are subject.

20

We are not able to identify or control all circumstances that could occur in the future that may materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. Without limiting the risks that we describe in our periodic reports and elsewhere, among the risks that could lead to a materially adverse impact on our business or operating results are the following: the impact and results of any new or continued activism activities by activist investors; termination or non-renewal of limited duration agreements or arrangements with our suppliers, which are typically terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise relatively short notice; loss of significant customers, suppliers or other relationships, or reduction of customer business or product availability; loss of customers or suppliers either directly or indirectly as a result of consolidation among large wireless service carriers and others within the wireless communications industry; deterioration in the strength of our customers' or suppliers' business; negative or adverse economic conditions, including those adversely affecting consumer confidence or consumer or business spending or otherwise adversely impacting our suppliers or customers, including their access to capital or liquidity, or our customers' demand for, or ability to fund or pay for, the purchase of our products and services; our dependence on a relatively small number of suppliers, which could hamper our ability to maintain appropriate inventory levels and meet customer demand; changes in customer and product mix that affect gross margin; effect of “conflict minerals” regulations on the supply and cost of certain of our products; failure of our information technology system or distribution system; our inability to maintain or upgrade our technology or telecommunication systems without undue cost, incident or delay; system security or data protection breaches and exposure to cyber-attacks, and the cost associated with ongoing efforts to maintain cyber-security measures and to meet applicable compliance standards; damage or destruction of our distribution or other facilities; prolonged or otherwise unusual quality or performance control problems; technology changes in the wireless communications industry or technological failures, which could lead to significant inventory obsolescence or devaluation and/or our inability to offer key products that our customers demand; third-party freight carrier interruption; increased competition from competitors, including manufacturers or national and regional distributors of the products we sell and the absence of significant barriers to entry which could result in pricing and other pressures on profitability and market share; our relative bargaining power and inability to negotiate favorable terms with our suppliers and customers; our inability to access capital and obtain or retain financing as and when needed; transitional and other risks associated with acquisitions of companies that we may undertake in an effort to expand our business; claims against us for breach of the intellectual property rights of third parties; product liability claims; our inability to protect certain intellectual property, including systems and technologies on which we rely; our inability to hire or retain for any reason our key professionals, management and staff; health epidemics or pandemics or other outbreaks or events, or national or world events or disasters beyond our control; changes in political and regulatory conditions, including tax and trade policies; and the possibility that, for unforeseen or other reasons, we may be delayed in entering into or performing, or may fail to enter into or perform, anticipated contracts or may otherwise be delayed in realizing or fail to realize anticipated revenues or anticipated savings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls

21

and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that 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 to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the period covered by this quarterly report, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company launched a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which replaces certain of our existing operating and financial systems. The new ERP system is designed to accurately maintain our financial records, enhance operational functionality and efficiency, and provide timely information to the Company’s management team related to the operation of the business. As updated processes are rolled out in connection with the ERP implementation, we will give appropriate consideration to whether these process changes necessitate changes in the design of and testing for effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt the standard on the first day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year.

Borrowings Under Revolving Credit Facility

Borrowings Under Revolving Credit Facility

Borrowings Under Revolving Credit Facility

Note 4. Borrowings Under Revolving Credit Facility

On October 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement among the Company, the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries as co-borrowers, the Lender(s) party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”), as Administrative Agent, swingline lender and an issuing bank. Terms used, but not defined, in this and the following paragraphs of this Note 4 have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement (as defined below) or the related Guaranty and Security Agreement. This facility replaced a previously existing credit facility among the Company and certain subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto (which included Wells) and Truist Bank (successor by merger to SunTrust Bank), as administrative agent. The discussion below is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Credit Agreement and related documents, including Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, and references below to the “Credit Agreement” include the Credit Agreement, together with such amendments, except in each case where otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

The Credit Agreement, as amended in Amendment No. 4 discussed below, now provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $105 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a $10 million Availability Block that is in effect at all times, which effectively limits the maximum borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to $95 million. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 29, 2025 and includes a $5.0 million letter of credit sublimit and provides for the issuance of Swingline Loans. The Credit Agreement also includes a provision permitting the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the aggregate amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to an aggregate commitment amount of up to $155 million with optional additional commitments from then existing Lenders or new commitments from additional lenders, although no Lender is obligated to increase its commitment. Availability is determined in accordance with the Borrowing Base, which is generally 85% of Eligible Accounts minus the Dilution Reserve, plus a calculated value of Eligible Inventory aged less than 181 days plus the lesser of an Aged Inventory Cap (currently $2,250,000 and which reduces over time to $2,000,000) and a calculated value of Inventory aged more than 180 days minus a calculated Reserve, as further detailed and set forth in the Credit Agreement.

When the facility was initially established pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Borrowings accrued interest from the applicable borrowing date:  (A) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, (i) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was less than 1.10:1.00, then the LIBOR Rate plus 2.25% or (ii) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was greater than or equal to 1.10:1.00, then the LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%; (B) if a Base Rate Loan, (i) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

was less than 1.10:1.00, then the Base Rate plus 1.25% or (ii) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was greater than or equal to 1.10:1.00, then the Base Rate plus 1.00%.

Pursuant to Amendment No. 4, Borrowings now accrue interest from the applicable borrowing date:  (A) if a SOFR Rate Loan, (i) at a per annum rate equal to the SOFR Rate plus a SOFR Adjustment of 10 basis points (to remain pricing neutral for transition from LIBOR to SOFR) plus the SOFR Rate Margin of 2.25% until the later of December 31, 2023 and meeting a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the trailing twelve months of not less than 1.0 to 1.0, and (ii) thereafter, at a per annum rate equal to the SOFR Rate plus a SOFR Adjustment of 10 basis points (to remain pricing neutral for transition from LIBOR to SOFR) plus the SOFR Rate Margin of 1.75% if Excess Availability is greater than 30%, 2.00% if Excess Availability is at least 20% but less than or equal to 30%, and 2.25% if Excess Availability is less than 20% or (B) if a Base Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin of 1.25% until the later of December 31, 2023 and meeting a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the trailing twelve months of not less than 1.0 to 1.0, and (ii) thereafter, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin of 0.75% if Excess Availability is greater than 30%, of 1.00% if Excess Availability is at least 20% but less than or equal to 30%, and of 1.25% if Excess Availability is less than 20%. Excess Availability for these purposes is determined without giving effect to the $10 million Availability Block.

The Company was previously required to pay a monthly Unused Line Fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility at a per annum rate equal to 0.25%. Pursuant to Amendment No. 4, the Company is now required to pay a monthly Unused Line Fee based on the average quarterly revolver usage, at a per annum rate equal to 0.25% of the unused Revolving Credit Facility if usage is greater than 50%, and 0.50% of the unused Revolving Credit Facility if usage is less than 50%.

The Credit Agreement contains one financial covenant, a 1:1 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, which was historically only tested if Excess Availability (generally, borrowing availability less the aggregate of trade payables and book overdrafts, each in excess of historical amounts), without giving effect to the $10 million Availability Block, is less than the greater of (a) 15% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and (b) $15,750,000. Pursuant to Amendment No. 3, as discussed below, the Company was relieved of any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio testing through calendar year 2022, without regard to the amount of Excess Availability during that period. The covenant has been re-imposed pursuant to Amendment No. 4, however, but only if Excess Availability falls below that described above. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains provisions that could limit our ability to engage in specified transactions or activities, including (but not limited to) investments and acquisitions, sales of assets, payment of dividends, issuance of additional debt and other matters.

As of December 25, 2022, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $61.6 million and, therefore, the Company had $33.4 million available for borrowing, subject to the Borrowing Base limitation and compliance with the other applicable terms referenced herein, and including the $10 million Availability Block discussed above. The Revolving Credit Facility has no lockbox arrangement associated with it and, therefore the outstanding balance is classified as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 25, 2022. Accordingly, borrowings from and repayments to the Company’s current line of credit are reflected on a gross basis in the cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company is required to make certain prepayments under the Revolving Credit Facility under certain circumstances, including from net cash proceeds from certain asset dispositions in excess of certain thresholds.

The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and affirmative covenants. The Credit Agreement also contains negative covenants and restrictions on, among other things: (i) Indebtedness, (ii) liens, (iii) fundamental changes, (iv) disposition of assets, (v) restricted payments (including certain restrictions on

redemptions and dividends), (vi) investments and (vii) transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains events of default, such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, misrepresentations, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a Change of Control and the failure to observe the negative covenants and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents.

Pursuant to a related Guaranty and Security Agreement, by and among the Company, the other borrowers under the Credit Agreement and other operating subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Loan Parties”), and Wells, as Administrative Agent, the Obligations, which include the obligations under the Credit Agreement, are guaranteed by the Loan Parties, and secured by continuing first priority security interests in the Company’s and the other Loan Parties’ (including both borrowers and guarantors) Accounts, Books, Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts, General Intangibles, Inventory, Negotiable Collateral, Supporting Obligations, and all Money, Cash Equivalents or other assets that come into the possession, custody or control of the Agent or any Lender, and certain related assets, and the proceeds and products of any of the foregoing (the “Collateral”). The security interests in the Collateral are in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement from time to time and any other holders of the Obligations. The Obligations secured also include certain other obligations of the Loan Parties to the Lenders and their affiliates arising from time to time, relating to swaps, hedges and cash management and other bank products.

On December 25, 2022, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 6.67%. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 was 6.08%.

Following an Event of Default, the Lenders may at their option increase the applicable per annum rate to a rate equal to two percentage points above the otherwise applicable rate and, with certain events of default, such increase is automatic.

Amendment No. 1

Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated July 12, 2021 (“Amendment No. 1”), between Tessco and Wells, Wells agreed to a 25-basis point reduction in certain otherwise applicable rates and fees over an agreed period, and the Company and Wells agreed to, among others, certain changes related to the LIBOR rate option to simplify day-to-day management of the Revolving Credit Facility. These terms have since been further amended and, pursuant to Amendment No. 4 (as defined below), these interest rate terms have been superseded, with the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin now as discussed above.

Amendment No. 2

In anticipation of TESSCO Reno Holding, LLC (“Reno Holding”) entering into the Real Estate Note of Reno Holding (the “Note”), as discussed further in Note 5, the Company, TESSCO Inc. and our other operating subsidiaries, and Wells, entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement and Consent dated December 29, 2021 (“Amendment No. 2”). Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, and subject to its terms and conditions, among other things, Wells consented to the Note, without requiring that Reno Holding become a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement.

Amendment No. 3

On January 5, 2022, at the Company’s request, the Company and its operating subsidiaries, and Wells, entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to Guaranty and Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”), subject to the terms and conditions of which Wells agreed to increase the Commitment

under the Revolving Credit Facility from $75 million to $80 million. Among the terms and conditions, the Company agreed to revert to the interest rate margins originally provided for under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility (and which margins had previously been modified pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement), as well as change to the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin, as discussed above, and agreed to a $10 million Availability Block for calendar year 2022, but was relieved of any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio testing for the same period without regard to the amount of Excess Availability during that period. Amendment No. 3 further provided that a $15 million Excess Availability requirement would be imposed as of January 1, 2023, unless a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1:1 is achieved. The Company did not meet the Fixed Charge Covenant Ratio, and as a result, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility for the remainder of calendar 2022 (subject to Amendment No. 4, discussed below) was $70 million after accounting for the Availability Block and was scheduled to reduce to $65 million on January 1, 2023 upon the scheduled expiration of the Availability Block and re-imposition of the Excess Availability requirement, in each case subject to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with the other terms.

Amendment No. 4

On December 8, 2022, the Company and Wells entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”) under which the Commitment under the pre-existing Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $80 million to $105 million, among other things. Amendment No. 4 amended and restated the original Credit Agreement in its entirety. Availability is still determined in accordance with a Borrowing Base formula and, pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 4, the $10 million Availability Block has been continued beyond calendar year-end 2022, indefinitely. As a result, the outstanding balance cannot exceed $95 million at any time. The maturity date has been extended to April 29, 2025. As discussed above, the 1:1 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant was re-imposed and is now tested pursuant to Amendment No. 4, but only if Excess Availability falls below the threshold discussed above.  

In addition, Amendment No. 4 provided for a change from a LIBOR-based primary rate to one based on SOFR, as well as changes to the methodology for determining the Applicable Margin and the imposition of a $42 million Inventory Cap as a Borrowing Base component. Amendment No. 4 also changed the financial predicates for applicability of the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Cash Dominion Period, taking into consideration the increase in Commitment. In addition, the Company agreed that in no event will the mortgage on its Hunt Valley, Maryland property be released prior to December 31, 2023, and only if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio thereafter is at least 1.10 to 1.00 for six consecutive months and Excess Availability is at least $22.5 million for thirty consecutive days.

Note 5. Debt

On December 30, 2021, Reno Holding, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary and now owner of the Company’s approximately 115,000 square foot operating facility located in Reno, Nevada (the “Reno Facility”), borrowed an aggregate sum of $6.5 million from Symetra Life Insurance Company (“Symetra”). The indebtedness is evidenced by the Note that provides for monthly payments of $47,858 (including principal and interest), bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.38% per annum for the first 5 years, is subject to adjustment after 5 years and again after 10 years, and matures in approximately 15 years. The Note and related obligations are secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Deed of Trust”) on the Reno Facility. The net proceeds from this borrowing transaction (the “Symetra Loan”) have since been applied to repayment of a portion of the revolving balance under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. An additional $250,000 is to be advanced under the Symetra Loan after roof and possible related repairs to the Reno Facility are satisfactorily completed. The Symetra Loan is limited recourse to the Reno Facility, with typical exceptions

in which case it is recourse to Reno Holding, a special purpose entity formed by the Company to own the Reno Facility and related assets.

The principal maturities of debt outstanding at December 25, 2022, were as follows:

Fiscal Year
2023	$	89,500

Earnings Per Share

Note 6. Earnings Per Share

The Company presents the computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) on a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common shares are excluded from the calculation if they are determined to be anti-dilutive. The number of diluted weighted-average common shares was 9,217,148 for the three months ended December 25, 2022, and 9,187,995 for the nine months ended December 25, 2022. At December 25, 2022, stock options with respect to 659,500 shares of common stock were outstanding, of which 564,500 were anti-dilutive and not included in diluted EPS because the stock options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. There were no anti-dilutive performance stock units (“PSUs”) or restricted stock units (RSUs”) outstanding as of December 25, 2022.

Business Segments

Note 7. Business Segments

The Company has two reportable segments, Carrier and Commercial, which are identified based on the information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and are consistent with how the business is managed. Carrier is generally comprised of customers who build and maintain the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers, whereas Commercial includes value-added resellers, the government channel and private system operator markets. Ventev®, the Company’s proprietary brand that manufactures products, is primarily included in the Commercial segment. There is a mix of products that the Company sells that are marketed to both segments, as well as certain product classes that primarily serve one segment. As a value-add distributor of products from over 300 manufacturers, the Company sells products across a large number of product groups and industries and, as a result, it is impracticable to provide segment information at the product group level. Inventory typically has a life cycle that tends to be tied to changes in regulation or technology and includes products typically used by business entities or governments.

Segment activity for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 is as follows (in thousands):

Note 10. Discontinued Operations

At a closing on December 2, 2020, the Company sold most of its retail inventory, the Ventev brand as it relates to mobile device accessory products, and certain other retail-related assets to Voice Comm, LLC (“Voice Comm”). As part of the sale agreement, the Company is entitled to royalty payments of up to $3.0 million in the aggregate on the sale of Ventev branded products by Voice Comm over a four-year period after the closing.

As a result of the disposal described above, the operating results of the former Retail segment have been included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes, in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for fiscal year 2022. Due to the immateriality of the ongoing results from this former Retail segment, fiscal year 2023 activity has been consolidated within the results from continuing operations.

The following table presents the financial results of the Retail segment for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2021:

	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	December 26, 2021		December 26, 2021

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes		100		(11,200)
Net income (loss) attributable to discontinued operations	$	243,800	$	1,187,900

The financial results reflected above may not fully represent our former Retail segment stand-alone operating net income, as the results reported within Net income attributable to discontinued operations include only certain costs that are directly attributable to this former segment and exclude certain corporate overhead and operational costs that may have been previously allocated for each period.

In our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this Form 10-Q report, the cash flows from discontinued operations are not separately classified. Cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations for the nine months ended December 26, 2021, was $4.6 million.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt the standard on the first day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year.
