NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – GENERAL
Description of Business: Transcat, Inc. (“Transcat,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of accredited calibration services, enterprise asset management services, and value-added distributor of professional grade handheld test, measurement and control instrumentation. The Company is focused on providing services and products to highly regulated industries, particularly the life science industry, which includes pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and other FDA-regulated businesses. Additional industries served include industrial manufacturing; energy and utilities, including oil and gas; chemical manufacturing; FAA-regulated businesses, including aerospace and defense and other industries that require accuracy in their processes, confirmation of the capabilities of their equipment, and for which the risk of failure is very costly.
Basis of Presentation: Transcat’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been included. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of what the results will be for the fiscal year. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 26, 2022 (“fiscal year 2022”) contained in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Revenue Recognition: Distribution sales are recorded when an order’s title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. The Company recognizes the majority of its Service revenue based upon when the calibration or other activity is performed and then shipped and/or delivered to the customer. The majority of the Company’s revenue generating activities have a single performance obligation and are recognized at the point in time when control transfers and/or our obligation has been fulfilled. Some Service revenue is generated from managing customers’ calibration programs in which the Company recognizes revenue over time using the output method-time elapsed as this portrays the transfer of control to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for product shipped or services performed. Sales taxes and other taxes billed and collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The Company generally invoices its customers for freight, shipping, and handling charges. Freight billed to customers is included in revenue. Shipping and handling is not included in revenue. Provisions for customer returns are provided for in the period the related revenue is recorded based upon historical data.
Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we use judgments that could potentially impact both the timing of our satisfaction of performance obligations and our determination of transaction prices used in determining revenue recognized. Such judgments include considerations in determining our transaction prices and when our performance obligations are satisfied for our standard product sales that include general payment terms that are between net 30 and 90 days.
Revenue recognized from prior period performance obligations for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 25, 2023 (“fiscal year 2023”) was immaterial. As of June 25, 2022, the Company had no unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year. Pursuant to Topic 606, the Company applied the practical expedient with respect to disclosure of the deferral and future expected timing of revenue recognition for transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. Deferred revenue, unbilled revenue and deferred contract costs recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 25, 2022 and March 26, 2022 were immaterial. See Note 4 for disaggregated revenue information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Transcat has determined
the fair value of debt and other financial instruments using a valuation hierarchy. The hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in
measuring fair value, consists of three levels. Level 1 uses observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 uses inputs
other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, which is defined as unobservable
inputs in which little or no market data exists, requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. The carrying amount of debt on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value due to variable interest rate pricing on a portion of the debt with the balance bearing
an interest rate approximating current market rates, and the carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate
fair value due to their short-term nature. Investment assets, which fund the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan,
consist of mutual funds and are valued based on Level 1 inputs. At each of June 25, 2022 and March 26, 2022, investment assets totaled $
6
Stock-Based Compensation: The Company measures the cost
of services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options and restricted stock units, based on the fair
market value of the award as of the grant date. The Company records compensation cost related to unvested equity awards by recognizing,
on a straight-line basis, the unamortized grant date fair value over the remaining service period of each award. Excess tax benefits for
share-based award activity are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of the provision for income taxes. Excess
tax benefits are realized benefits from tax deductions for exercised awards in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to stock-based
compensation costs for such awards. The Company did not capitalize any stock-based compensation costs as part of an asset. The Company
estimates forfeiture rates based on its historical experience. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2022, the
Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions: The accounts of Cal OpEx Limited (d/b/a NEXA Enterprise Asset Management), an Irish company, and Transcat Canada Inc., both of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, are maintained in the local currencies, the Euro and the Canadian dollar, respectively, and have been translated to U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the amounts representing assets and liabilities have been translated at the period-end rates of exchange and related revenue and expense accounts have been translated at an average rate of exchange during the period. Gains and losses arising from translation of Cal OpEx Limited’s and Transcat Canada Inc.’s financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded directly to the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of shareholders’ equity.
Transcat records foreign currency gains and losses on business
transactions denominated in foreign currency. The net foreign currency gain was $
Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock reflect the assumed conversion of stock options and unvested restricted stock units using the treasury stock method in periods in which they have a dilutive effect. In computing the per share effect of assumed conversion, proceeds received from the exercise of options and unvested restricted stock units are considered to have been used to purchase shares of common stock at the average market prices during the period, and the resulting net additional shares of common stock are included in the calculation of average shares of common stock outstanding.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the net additional
common stock equivalents had a ($

Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the underlying net assets of an acquired business. The Company tests goodwill for impairment for each reporting unit on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, or immediately if conditions indicate that such impairment could exist. The Company is permitted, but not required, to qualitatively assess indicators of a reporting unit’s fair value to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If a quantitative test is deemed necessary, a discounted cash flow analysis is prepared to estimate fair value.
Intangible assets, namely customer base and covenants not to compete, represent an allocation of purchase price to identifiable intangible assets of an acquired business. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. A summary of changes in the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets is as follows (amounts in thousands):

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The ASU replaces the "incurred loss" model with an "expected credit loss" model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Allowance for doubtful accounts is the most significant item for the Company under this ASU. As credit losses from the Company's trade receivables have not historically been significant, the Company anticipates that the adoption of the ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – LONG-TERM DEBT
On July 7, 2021, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T”), that amended and restated in its entirety the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement dated as of October 30, 2017, as amended by Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement Amendment 1 dated December 10, 2018 and Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement Amendment 2 (“Amendment Two”) dated May 18, 2020 (as amended, the “Prior Credit Agreement”).

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In
September 2021, the Transcat, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by shareholders and became effective.
The 2021 Plan replaced the Transcat, Inc. 2003 Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”). Shares available for grant under the 2021
Plan include any shares remaining available for issuance under the 2003 Plan and any shares that are subject to outstanding awards under
the 2003 Plan that are subsequently canceled, expired, forfeited, or otherwise not issued or are settled in cash. The 2021 Plan provides
for, among other awards, grants of restricted stock units and stock options to directors, officers and key employees at the fair market
value at the date of grant. At June 25, 2022,
The
Company receives an excess tax benefit related to restricted stock vesting and stock options exercised and redeemed. The discrete tax
benefits related to share-based compensation and stock option activity during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and 2022 were $
Restricted Stock Units: The Company grants time-based and performance-based restricted stock units as a component of executive and key employee compensation. Expense for restricted stock unit grants is recognized on a straight-line basis for the service period of the stock award based upon fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock unit grants is the quoted market price for the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. These restricted stock units are either time vested, or vest following the third fiscal year from the date of grant subject to cumulative diluted earnings per share targets over the eligible period.
Compensation cost ultimately recognized for performance-based restricted stock units will equal the grant date fair market value of the unit that coincides with the actual outcome of the performance conditions. On an interim basis, the Company records compensation cost based on the estimated level of achievement of the performance conditions. The expense relating to the time vested restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Stock Options: The Company grants stock options to employees and directors with an exercise price equal to the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula that requires assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate and the expected term of the option. Expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award. Options vest either immediately or over a period of up to five years using a straight-line basis and expire either five years or ten years from the date of grant.
We calculate the fair value of the stock options granted using the Black-Scholes model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value options granted during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2022:
| First Quarter Ended | ||||||||
| June 25, | June 26, | |||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Risk-Free Interest Rate | % | % | ||||||
| Volatility Factor | % | % | ||||||
| Expected Term (in Years) | ||||||||
| Annual Dividend Rate | % | % | ||||||
We calculate expected volatility for stock options by taking an average of historical volatility over the expected term. The computation of expected term was determined based on safe harbor rules, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards and vesting schedules. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. We assume no expected dividends. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options) that would have been received by the option holders had all holders exercised their options on June 25, 2022. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 26, 2022.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Summary
During our first quarter of fiscal year 2023, we had consolidated revenue of $54.7 million. This represented an increase of $6.9 million or 14.4% versus the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. This increase was primarily due to the recently completed acquisitions, strong demand in our Service segment’s highly-regulated end markets and improved market conditions in our Distribution segment.
Our first quarter of fiscal year 2023 gross profit was $16.0 million. This was an increase of $2.5 million or 18.6% versus the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. In addition, consolidated gross margin was 29.3%, an increase of 100 basis points, versus the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. This increase was largely the result of operating leverage on our fixed costs and accretive gross margins from recent acquisitions.
Total operating expenses were $12.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, an increase of $2.6 million or 26.5% when compared to the prior year first quarter. Included in operating expenses during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 were incremental operating expenses related to the acquisition of Alliance, investments in technology and higher incentive-based employee costs due to higher sales. As a percentage of total revenue, operating expenses were 22.7% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, up 210 basis points from 20.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Operating income decreased by $0.1 million and operating margin decreased from 7.7% to 6.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Net income was $3.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, down from $3.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 primarily due to a higher provision from income taxes.

Total revenue increased $6.9 million, or 14.4%, in our fiscal year 2023 first quarter compared to the prior fiscal year first quarter.
Service revenue, which accounted for 62.0% and 57.7% of our total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively, increased 22.9% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. This year-over-year increase included $3.9 million in revenue from acquisitions, and also included organic revenue growth of 8.6% driven by improvement in end market conditions and continued market share gains.

Our fiscal years 2023 and 2022 Service revenue growth, in relation to prior fiscal year quarter comparisons, was as follows:

| Service Revenue Growth | 22.9 | % | 19.6 | % | 22.1 | % | 20.4 | % | 20.0 | % | |||||||||||
The growth in Service segment revenue during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 versus the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 reflected both organic growth and acquisitions.
Within any fiscal year, while we add new customers, we also have customers from the prior fiscal year whose service orders may not repeat for any number of factors. Among those factors are variations in the timing of periodic calibrations and other services, customer capital expenditures and customer outsourcing decisions. Because the timing of Service segment orders can vary on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we believe trailing twelve-month information provides a better indication of the progress of this segment.
The following table presents the trailing twelve-month Service segment revenue for each quarter in fiscal years 2023 and 2022 as well as the trailing twelve-month revenue growth as a comparison to that of the prior fiscal year period:

Our strategy has been to focus our investments in the core electrical, temperature, pressure, physical/dimensional and radio frequency/microwave calibration disciplines. We expect to subcontract approximately 13% to 15% of our Service revenue to third-party vendors for calibration beyond our chosen scope of capabilities. We continually evaluate our outsourcing needs and make capital investments, as deemed necessary, to add more in-house capabilities and reduce the need for third-party vendors. Capability expansion through business acquisitions is another way that we seek to reduce the need for outsourcing. The following table presents the source of our Service revenue and the percentage of Service revenue derived from each source for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and for each quarter during fiscal year 2022:

Our Distribution sales accounted for 38.0% of our total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and 42.3% of our total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, Distribution segment sales showed an increase of 2.7% to $20.8 million. This increase was due to strong demand for rental orders.
Our fiscal years 2023 and 2022 Distribution sales growth, in relation to prior fiscal year quarter comparisons, was as follows:

| Distribution Sales Growth | 2.7 | % | 7.2 | % | 7.2 | % | 22.2 | % | 27.0 | % | |||||||||||
The change in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 versus the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 for the Distribution segment reflected organic growth.
Distribution sales orders include orders for instruments that we routinely stock in our inventory, customized products, and other products ordered less frequently, which we do not stock. Backorders are the total dollar value of orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Pending product shipments are primarily backorders, but also include products that are requested to be calibrated in our service centers prior to shipment, orders required by the customer to be shipped complete or at a future date, and other orders awaiting final credit or management review prior to shipment. Management uses pending product shipments and backorders as measures of our future business performance and financial performance within the distribution segment.
Our total pending product shipments at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 were $9.0 million, an increase of $0.9 million versus the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and an increase of $1.3 million since March 26, 2022. The year-over-year increase in pending product shipments and backorders was a result of the disruption to the supply of products as well as increased orders.
The following table presents our total pending product shipments and the percentage of total pending product shipments that were backorders at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and each quarter of fiscal year 2022:

Service gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased $2.1 million, or 23.8%, from the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Service gross margin was 32.0% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, a 20 basis point increase versus the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. This increase in gross margin was the result of operating leverage on our fixed costs and accretive gross margins from recent acquisitions, offset by increased start-up costs from new client-based lab implementations.

Our Distribution gross margin includes net sales less the direct cost of inventory sold and the direct costs of equipment rental revenues, primarily depreciation expense for the fixed assets in our rental equipment pool, as well as the impact of rebates and cooperative advertising income we receive from vendors, freight billed to customers, freight expenses and direct shipping costs. In general, our Distribution gross margin can vary based upon the mix of products sold, price discounting, and the timing of periodic vendor rebates offered and cooperative advertising programs from suppliers.

Distribution segment gross margin was 25.0% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 versus 23.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, a 140 basis point increase. The increase in segment gross margin was primarily due to a favorable mix of higher margin products sold and rented.

Total operating expenses were $12.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 versus $9.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. The year-over-year increase in selling, marketing and warehouse expenses is due to increased expenses related to recent acquisition, especially acquisition related amortization expense. The increase in general and administrative expenses includes incremental expenses related to acquired companies, increased payroll costs from new employees and continued investments in technology.
As a percentage of total revenue, operating expenses were 22.7% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and 20.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, an increase of 210 basis points.

Our effective tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 were 10.9% and (5.6%), respectively. The increase in the tax provision is due to the decreased amount of discrete tax benefit from share-based compensation activity. Our quarterly provision for income taxes is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from year to year. The discrete benefits related to share-based compensation activity in the first quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 was $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
20
We continue to evaluate our tax provision on a quarterly basis and adjust, as deemed necessary, our effective tax rate given changes in facts and circumstances expected for the entire fiscal year. We expect our total fiscal year 2023 effective tax rate to be approximately 22.0% to 24.0%.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 decreased $0.6 million from the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 primarily due to the increased operating expenses and a higher provision for income taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA:
In addition to reporting net income, a GAAP measure, we present Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, non-cash loss on sale of building, and restructuring expense), which is a non-GAAP measure. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the performance of our core operations from period to period by removing the impact of the capital structure (interest), tangible and intangible asset base (depreciation and amortization), taxes, stock-based compensation expense and other items, which is not always commensurate with the reporting period in which it is included. As such, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance when evaluating our business segments and as a basis for planning and forecasting. Adjusted EBITDA is also commonly used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our credit worthiness.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is not calculated through the application of GAAP. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for the GAAP measure of net income and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.

Total Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $7.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 19.6% versus the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. As a percentage of revenue, Adjusted EBITDA increased to 13.4% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 from 12.8% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was primarily driven by the increase in depreciation and amortization expense and noncash stock compensation expense.
21
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share:
In addition to reporting Diluted Earnings Per Share, a GAAP measure, we present Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (net income plus acquisition related amortization expense, acquisition related transaction expenses, acquisition related stock-based compensation, acquisition amortization of backlog and restructuring expense, on a diluted per share basis), which is a non-GAAP measure. Our management believes Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is an important measure of our operating performance because it provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is not calculated through the application of GAAP. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for the GAAP measure of Diluted Earnings Per Share and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, as presented, may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We expect that foreseeable liquidity and capital resource requirements will be met through anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowings from our revolving credit facility. We believe that these sources of financing will be adequate to meet our future requirements.
On July 7, 2021, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T”), that amended and restated in its entirety the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement dated as of October 30, 2017, as amended by Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement Amendment 1 dated December 10, 2018 and Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement Amendment 2 (“Amendment Two”) dated May 18, 2020 (as amended, the “Prior Credit Agreement”).
The 2021 Credit Agreement increased the revolving credit commitment (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”) from $40.0 million to $80.0 million, with a letter of credit subfacility increased from $2.0 million to $10.0 million, and extended the term of the Revolving Credit Commitment to June 2026. The 2021 Credit Agreement amended the definition of Applicable Margin (formerly Applicable Rate under the Prior Credit Agreement), which is based upon the Company’s then current leverage ratio and is used to determine interest charges on outstanding and unused borrowings under the revolving credit facility; the amendments reduced the Applicable Margins payable at the two highest leverage ratio levels. The 2021 Credit Agreement also amended the definition of Permitted Acquisitions, that is, acquisitions which are permitted under, and may be financed with proceeds of, the revolving credit facility, including increasing the aggregate purchase price for acquisitions consummated in any fiscal year from $1.0 million to $65.0 million during fiscal year 2022 and $50.0 million during any subsequent fiscal year, and adding an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million for acquisitions consummated at any time during the term of the 2021 Credit Agreement related to businesses with a principal place of business located in the United Kingdom or the European Union.
22
In addition, the 2021 Credit Agreement provides that, assuming no event of default, restricted payments up to $25.0 million (increased from $10.0 million in the Prior Credit Agreement) in the aggregate and $10.0 million (increased from $3.0 million in the Prior Credit Agreement) in any single fiscal year may be used by us to repurchase our shares and pay dividends. The 2021 Credit Agreement modified the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants with which we are required to comply. The 2021 Credit Agreement also reduced the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) floor from 1.0% to 0.25% and included a mechanism for adoption of a different benchmark rate upon the discontinuation of LIBOR. The 2021 Credit Agreement also reduced the fixed interest rate on our term loan in the amount of $15.0 million (the “2018 Term Loan”) was reduced from 4.15% to 3.90%.
The 2021 Credit Agreement superseded in its entirety, the Prior Credit Agreement. Amendment Two to the Prior Credit Agreement had previously extended the term of the revolving credit facility to October 20, 2022 and increased the revolving credit commitment to $40.0 million.
Amendment Two had modified the definition of the applicable rate used to determine interest charges on outstanding and unused borrowings under the revolving credit facility and it amended the definition of permitted acquisitions to amend borrowings available under the revolving credit facility for acquisitions. In addition, Amendment Two had amended the definition of restricted payments to exclude amounts up to $2.5 million during each fiscal year used to pay certain employee tax obligations associated with share-based payment and stock option activity, and modified certain restrictions to the Company’s ability to repurchase its shares and pay dividends. Amendment Two also had modified the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants with which the Company was required to comply and limited capital expenditures to $5.5 million for fiscal year 2021. Amendment Two also had established a LIBOR floor of 1.0% and included a mechanism for adoption of a different benchmark rate in the event LIBOR was discontinued.
As of June 25, 2022, $80.0 million was available under the revolving credit facility, of which $43.7 million was outstanding and included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and 2022, we used $4.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for business acquisitions.
As of June 25, 2022, $8.0 million was outstanding on the 2018 Term Loan, of which $2.2 million was included in current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the remainder included in long-term debt. The 2018 Term Loan requires total repayments (principal plus interest) of $0.2 million per month through December 2025.
Pursuant to the Prior Credit Agreement, we were required to comply with a fixed charge ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant, which were modified by the 2021 Credit Agreement. The allowable leverage ratio under the Prior Credit Agreement for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was a maximum multiple of 4.0 of total debt outstanding compared to EBITDA and non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters. The Prior Credit Agreement also had provided that the trailing twelve-month pro forma EBITDA of an acquired business was included in the allowable leverage calculation. After the first quarter of fiscal 2022, pursuant to the 2021 Credit Agreement, the allowable leverage ratio is a maximum multiple of 3.0. We were in compliance with all loan covenants and requirements during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. Our leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement, was 1.83 at June 25, 2022, compared with 1.74 at March 26, 2022
Interest on the revolving credit facility continues to accrue, at our election, at either the variable one-month LIBOR or a fixed rate for a designated period at the LIBOR corresponding to such period (subject to a 1% floor during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and a 0.25% floor for subsequent periods), in each case, plus a margin. Interest on outstanding borrowings under the 2018 Term Loan accrued at a fixed rate of 4.15% during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and accrue at a fixed rate of 3.90% during the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 and over the term of the loan for subsequent periods. Unused fees accrue based on the average daily amount of unused credit available on the revolving credit facility. Interest rate margins and unused fees are determined on a quarterly basis based upon the Company’s calculated leverage ratio.
Cash Flows: The following table is a summary of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (dollars in thousands):
| First Quarter Ended | ||||||||
| June 25, | June 26, | |||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Cash Provided by (Used in): | ||||||||
| Operating Activities | $ | 2,043 | $ | 2,055 | ||||
| Investing Activities | $ | (6,429 | ) | $ | (2,134 | ) | ||
| Financing Activities | $ | 3,110 | $ | (43 | ) | |||
23
Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operations was $2.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 compared to $2.1 million of net cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. The year-over-year decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily the result of changes in net working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities). The significant working capital fluctuations were as follows:
| ● | Receivables: Accounts receivable decreased by a net amount of $1.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 inclusive of $0.3 million of accounts receivable acquired as part of the Alliance acquisition completed during the period. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, accounts receivable decreased by a net amount of $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 inclusive of $0.2 million of accounts receivable acquired as part of the Upstate Metrology acquisition completed during the period. The year-over-year variation reflects changes in the timing of collections. The following table illustrates our “days sales outstanding” as of June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021 (dollars in thousands): |
| June 25, | June 26, | |||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Net Sales, for the last two fiscal months | $ | 38,321 | $ | 33,502 | ||||
| Accounts Receivable, net | $ | 38,031 | $ | 33,324 | ||||
| Days Sales Outstanding | 60 | 60 | ||||||
| ● | Inventory: Our inventory strategy includes making appropriate large quantity, high dollar purchases with key manufacturers for various reasons, including maximizing on-hand availability of key products, expanding the number of SKU’s stocked in anticipation of customer demand, reducing backorders for products with long lead times and optimizing vendor purchase and sales volume discounts. As a result, inventory levels may vary from quarter-to-quarter based on the timing of these large orders in relation to our quarter end. Our inventory balance increased $2.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. Our inventory balance remained flat during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. |
| ● | Accounts Payable: Changes in accounts payable may or may not correlate with changes in inventory balances at any given quarter end due to the timing of vendor payments for inventory, as well as the timing of payments for outsourced Service vendors and capital expenditures. |
Accounts payable decreased $1.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. Accounts payable decreased $1.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. The variances are largely due to the timing of inventory and capital expenditures and other payments in the respective periods.
| ● | Accrued Compensation and Other Current Liabilities: Accrued compensation and other current liabilities include, among other things, amounts paid to employees for non-equity performance-based compensation. At the end of any particular period, the amounts accrued for such compensation may vary due to many factors including, but not limited to, changes in expected performance levels, the performance measurement period, and timing of payments to employees. |
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, accrued compensation and other current liabilities decreased by $2.8 million. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, accrued compensation and other current liabilities decreased by $3.1 million. The change from the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was largely due to the one-time annual payments of incentive based compensation accruals.
| ● | Income Taxes Payable: In any given period, net working capital may be affected by the timing and amount of income tax payments. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 income tax payable remained flat. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, income taxes payable decreased by $0.3 million. The year-over-year difference is due to timing of income tax payments. |
24
Investing Activities: During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, we invested $2.4 million in capital expenditures that was used primarily for customer-driven expansion of Service segment capabilities and the Company’s rental business.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, we invested $1.2 million in capital expenditures that was used primarily for customer-driven expansion of Service segment capabilities and the Company’s rental business.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, we used $4.0 million for business acquisitions. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, we used $0.9 million for business acquisitions.
During each of the first quarters of fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2022, no contingent consideration or other holdback amounts were paid related to business acquisitions.
Financing Activities: During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, $3.8 million was borrowed from our revolving line of credit and $0.2 million in cash was generated from the issuance of common stock. In addition, we used $0.5 million for scheduled repayments of our term loan and $0.4 million for the “net” awarding of certain share awards to cover employee tax-withholding obligations for share award and stock option activity in the quarter which are shown as a repurchase of shares of our common stock.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, $3.2 million was borrowed from our revolving line of credit and $0.7 million in cash was generated from the issuance of common stock. In addition, we used $0.6 million for scheduled repayments of our term loan and $3.4 million for the “net” awarding of certain share awards to cover employee tax-withholding obligations for share award and stock option activity in the quarter which are shown as a repurchase of shares of our common stock.
OUTLOOK
As we head into a more uncertain economic environment, we are pleased with the strong demand levels we experienced in our first quarter of fiscal year 2023. We continue to demonstrate our ability to drive growth through various economic cycles as can be seen over the past ten years and we are confident that will continue. The business continues to benefit from a predominately life science-oriented market, driven by regulation and recurring revenue streams. In the fiscal year ahead, we expect organic Service revenue growth in the high-single digit range and gross margin improvement to continue.
We expect our income tax rate to range between 22% and 24% for full fiscal year 2023. This estimate includes Federal, various state, Canadian and Irish income taxes and reflects the discrete tax accounting associated with share-based payment awards.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATES
Our exposure to changes in interest rates results from our borrowing activities. In the event interest rates were to move by 1%, our yearly interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $0.4 million assuming our average borrowing levels remained constant. As of June 25, 2022, $80.0 million was available under our revolving credit facility, of which $43.7 million was outstanding and included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As described above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we also have a $15.0 million (original principal) term loan. The 2018 Term Loan is considered a fixed interest rate loan. As of June 25, 2022, $8.0 million was outstanding on the 2018 Term Loan and was included in long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The 2018 Term Loan requires total (principal and interest) repayments of $0.2 million per month.
25
At our option, we borrow from our revolving credit facility at the variable one-month LIBOR or at a fixed rate for a designated period at the LIBOR (subject to a 1% floor during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and a 0.25% floor for subsequent periods) corresponding to such period, in each case, plus a margin. Our interest rate margin is determined on a quarterly basis based upon our calculated leverage ratio. Our interest rate during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 for our revolving credit facility ranged from 1.6% to 2.8%. Interest on outstanding borrowings of the 2018 Term Loan accrued at a fixed rate of 4.15% over the term of the loan during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and 3.90% over the term of the loan for subsequent periods. Our revolving credit facility includes a mechanism for adoption of a different benchmark rate upon the discontinuation of LIBOR. On June 25, 2022, we had no hedging arrangements in place for our revolving credit facility to limit our exposure to upward movements in interest rates.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
Approximately 90% of our total revenues for each of the first quarters of fiscal year 2023 and 2022 were denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder denominated in Canadian dollars and Euros. A 10% change in the value of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar and the Euro to the U.S. dollar would impact our revenue by approximately 1%. We monitor the relationship between U.S. and Canadian currencies and the U.S. dollar and the Euro on a monthly basis and adjust sales prices for products and services sold in Canadian dollars or Euros as we believe to be appropriate.
We continually utilize short-term foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that future earnings denominated in Canadian dollars would be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. We do not apply hedge accounting and therefore the net change in the fair value of the contracts, which totaled a loss of $0.1 million during the first quarter of each of the fiscal years 2023 and 2022, was recognized as a component of other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The change in the fair value of the contracts is offset by the change in fair value on the underlying accounts receivables denominated in Canadian dollars being hedged. On June 25, 2022, we had a foreign exchange contract, which matured in July 2022, outstanding in the notional amount of $3.9 million. The foreign exchange contract was renewed in July 2022 and continues to be in place. We do not use hedging arrangements for speculative purposes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed 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 that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report (our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2023) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In connection with the acquisition of substantially all of Alliance’s assets, on May 31, 2022, we issued to Charlton Jeffmont, Inc., an Ohio corporation, Raitz, Inc., an Ohio corporation, and Toolroom Calibration, Inc., an Ohio corporation (collectively, “Sellers”), an aggregate of 2,284 shares of our common stock. Such shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Sellers represented to the Company that they are “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act.

The purchase price is determined by the weighted average closing price per share of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market over the twenty (20) trading days following our acceptance of the repurchase request and may not be more than 15% higher than the closing price on the last day of the twenty (20) trading day period. We may purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to the Plan on a continuous basis, but we may not expend more than $1.0 million in any fiscal year to repurchase the shares. Our board of directors may terminate the Plan at any time. No shares were repurchased under the Plan during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. |

| GENERAL | NOTE 1 – GENERAL
Description of Business: Transcat, Inc. (“Transcat,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of accredited calibration services, enterprise asset management services, and value-added distributor of professional grade handheld test, measurement and control instrumentation. The Company is focused on providing services and products to highly regulated industries, particularly the life science industry, which includes pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and other FDA-regulated businesses. Additional industries served include industrial manufacturing; energy and utilities, including oil and gas; chemical manufacturing; FAA-regulated businesses, including aerospace and defense and other industries that require accuracy in their processes, confirmation of the capabilities of their equipment, and for which the risk of failure is very costly.
Basis of Presentation: Transcat’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been included. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of what the results will be for the fiscal year. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 26, 2022 (“fiscal year 2022”) contained in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Revenue Recognition: Distribution sales are recorded when an order’s title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. The Company recognizes the majority of its Service revenue based upon when the calibration or other activity is performed and then shipped and/or delivered to the customer. The majority of the Company’s revenue generating activities have a single performance obligation and are recognized at the point in time when control transfers and/or our obligation has been fulfilled. Some Service revenue is generated from managing customers’ calibration programs in which the Company recognizes revenue over time using the output method-time elapsed as this portrays the transfer of control to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for product shipped or services performed. Sales taxes and other taxes billed and collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The Company generally invoices its customers for freight, shipping, and handling charges. Freight billed to customers is included in revenue. Shipping and handling is not included in revenue. Provisions for customer returns are provided for in the period the related revenue is recorded based upon historical data.
Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we use judgments that could potentially impact both the timing of our satisfaction of performance obligations and our determination of transaction prices used in determining revenue recognized. Such judgments include considerations in determining our transaction prices and when our performance obligations are satisfied for our standard product sales that include general payment terms that are between net 30 and 90 days.
Revenue recognized from prior period performance obligations for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 25, 2023 (“fiscal year 2023”) was immaterial. As of June 25, 2022, the Company had no unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year. Pursuant to Topic 606, the Company applied the practical expedient with respect to disclosure of the deferral and future expected timing of revenue recognition for transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. Deferred revenue, unbilled revenue and deferred contract costs recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 25, 2022 and March 26, 2022 were immaterial. See Note 4 for disaggregated revenue information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Transcat has determined the fair value of debt and other financial instruments using a valuation hierarchy. The hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, consists of three levels. Level 1 uses observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, which is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. The carrying amount of debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value due to variable interest rate pricing on a portion of the debt with the balance bearing an interest rate approximating current market rates, and the carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Investment assets, which fund the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan, consist of mutual funds and are valued based on Level 1 inputs. At each of June 25, 2022 and March 26, 2022, investment assets totaled $0.2 million, and are included as a component of other assets (non-current) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Stock-Based Compensation: The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options and restricted stock units, based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. The Company records compensation cost related to unvested equity awards by recognizing, on a straight-line basis, the unamortized grant date fair value over the remaining service period of each award. Excess tax benefits for share-based award activity are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of the provision for income taxes. Excess tax benefits are realized benefits from tax deductions for exercised awards in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to stock-based compensation costs for such awards. The Company did not capitalize any stock-based compensation costs as part of an asset. The Company estimates forfeiture rates based on its historical experience. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2022, the Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions: The accounts of Cal OpEx Limited (d/b/a NEXA Enterprise Asset Management), an Irish company, and Transcat Canada Inc., both of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, are maintained in the local currencies, the Euro and the Canadian dollar, respectively, and have been translated to U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the amounts representing assets and liabilities have been translated at the period-end rates of exchange and related revenue and expense accounts have been translated at an average rate of exchange during the period. Gains and losses arising from translation of Cal OpEx Limited’s and Transcat Canada Inc.’s financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded directly to the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of shareholders’ equity.
Transcat records foreign currency gains and losses on business transactions denominated in foreign currency. The net foreign currency gain was $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and less than $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. The Company continually utilizes short-term foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that its future earnings denominated in Canadian dollars would be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The Company does not apply hedge accounting and therefore the net change in the fair value of the contracts, which totaled a loss of $0.1 million during the first quarter of each of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, was recognized as a component of Other Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The change in the fair value of the contracts is offset by the change in fair value on the underlying accounts receivables denominated in Canadian dollars being hedged. On June 25, 2022, the Company had a foreign exchange contract, which matured in July 2022, outstanding in the notional amount of $3.9 million. This contract was subsequently renewed and remains in place. The Company does not use hedging arrangements for speculative purposes.
Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock reflect the assumed conversion of stock options and unvested restricted stock units using the treasury stock method in periods in which they have a dilutive effect. In computing the per share effect of assumed conversion, proceeds received from the exercise of options and unvested restricted stock units are considered to have been used to purchase shares of common stock at the average market prices during the period, and the resulting net additional shares of common stock are included in the calculation of average shares of common stock outstanding.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the net additional common stock equivalents had a ($0.01) effect on the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the net additional common stock equivalents had no effect on the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows (amounts in thousands):
Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the underlying net assets of an acquired business. The Company tests goodwill for impairment for each reporting unit on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, or immediately if conditions indicate that such impairment could exist. The Company is permitted, but not required, to qualitatively assess indicators of a reporting unit’s fair value to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If a quantitative test is deemed necessary, a discounted cash flow analysis is prepared to estimate fair value.
Intangible assets, namely customer base and covenants not to compete, represent an allocation of purchase price to identifiable intangible assets of an acquired business. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. A summary of changes in the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets is as follows (amounts in thousands):
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The ASU replaces the "incurred loss" model with an "expected credit loss" model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Allowance for doubtful accounts is the most significant item for the Company under this ASU. As credit losses from the Company's trade receivables have not historically been significant, the Company anticipates that the adoption of the ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

| LONG-TERM DEBT | NOTE 2 – LONG-TERM DEBT
On July 7, 2021, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T”), that amended and restated in its entirety the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement dated as of October 30, 2017, as amended by Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement Amendment 1 dated December 10, 2018 and Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement Amendment 2 (“Amendment Two”) dated May 18, 2020 (as amended, the “Prior Credit Agreement”).
The 2021 Credit Agreement increased the revolving credit commitment (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”) from $40.0 million to $80.0 million, with a letter of credit subfacility increased from $2.0 million to $10.0 million, and extended the term of the Revolving Credit Commitment to June 2026. The 2021 Credit Agreement amended the definition of Applicable Margin (formerly Applicable Rate under the Prior Credit Agreement), which is based upon the Company’s then current leverage ratio and is used to determine interest charges on outstanding and unused borrowings under the revolving credit facility; the amendments reduced the Applicable Margins payable at the two highest leverage ratio levels. The 2021 Credit Agreement also amended the definition of Permitted Acquisitions, that is, acquisitions which are permitted under, and may be financed with proceeds of, the revolving credit facility, including increasing the aggregate purchase price for acquisitions consummated in any fiscal year from $1.0 million to $65.0 million during fiscal year 2022 and $50.0 million during any subsequent fiscal year, and adding an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million for acquisitions consummated at any time during the term of the 2021 Credit Agreement related to businesses with a principal place of business located in the United Kingdom or the European Union.
In addition, the 2021 Credit Agreement provides that, assuming no event of default, restricted payments up to $25.0 million (increased from $10.0 million in the Prior Credit Agreement) in the aggregate and $10.0 million (increased from $3.0 million in the Prior Credit Agreement) in any single fiscal year may be used by us to repurchase our shares and pay dividends. The 2021 Credit Agreement modified the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants with which we are required to comply. The 2021 Credit Agreement also reduced the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) floor from 1.0% to 0.25% and included a mechanism for adoption of a different benchmark rate upon the discontinuation of LIBOR. The 2021 Credit Agreement also reduced the fixed interest rate on our term loan in the amount of $15.0 million (the “2018 Term Loan”) was reduced from 4.15% to 3.90%.
The 2021 Credit Agreement superseded in its entirety, the Prior Credit Agreement. Amendment Two to the Prior Credit Agreement had previously extended the term of the revolving credit facility to October 20, 2022 and increased the revolving credit commitment to $40.0 million.
Amendment Two had modified the definition of the applicable rate used to determine interest charges on outstanding and unused borrowings under the revolving credit facility and it amended the definition of permitted acquisitions to amend borrowings available under the revolving credit facility for acquisitions. In addition, Amendment Two had amended the definition of restricted payments to exclude amounts up to $2.5 million during each fiscal year used to pay certain employee tax obligations associated with share-based payment and stock option activity, and modified certain restrictions to the Company’s ability to repurchase its shares and pay dividends. Amendment Two also had modified the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants with which the Company was required to comply and limited capital expenditures to $5.5 million for fiscal year 2021. Amendment Two also had established a LIBOR floor of 1.0% and included a mechanism for adoption of a different benchmark rate in the event LIBOR was discontinued.
As of June 25, 2022, $80.0 million was available under the revolving credit facility, of which $43.7 million was outstanding and included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, $4.0 million was used for a business acquisition.
As of June 25, 2022, $8.0 million was outstanding on the 2018 Term Loan, of which $2.2 million was included in current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with the remainder included in long-term debt. The 2018 Term Loan requires total repayments (principal plus interest) of $0.2 million per month through December 2025.
Interest and Other Costs: Interest on outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility accrue, at Transcat’s election, at either the variable one-month LIBOR or a fixed rate for a designated period at the LIBOR corresponding to such period (subject to a 1% floor during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and a 0.25% floor for subsequent periods), in each case, plus a margin. Interest on outstanding borrowings under the 2018 Term Loan accrued at a fixed rate of 4.15% during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and accrue at a fixed rate of 3.90% during the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 and over the term of the loan for subsequent periods. Unused fees accrue based on the average daily amount of unused credit available on the revolving credit facility. Interest rate margins and unused fees are determined on a quarterly basis based upon the Company’s calculated leverage ratio. The Company’s interest rate for the revolving credit facility for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 ranged from 1.6% to 2.8%.
Covenants: The 2021 Credit Agreement has certain covenants with which the Company must comply, including a fixed charge ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants and requirements during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. Our leverage ratio, as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement, was 1.83 at June 25, 2022, compared with 1.74 at March 26, 2022.
Pursuant to the Prior Credit Agreement, we were required to comply with a fixed charge ratio covenant and a leverage ratio covenant, which were modified by the 2021 Credit Agreement. The allowable leverage ratio under the Prior Credit Agreement for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was a maximum multiple of 4.0 of total debt outstanding compared to EBITDA and non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters. The Prior Credit Agreement also had provided that the trailing twelve-month pro forma EBITDA of an acquired business was included in the allowable leverage calculation. After the first quarter of fiscal 2022, pursuant to the 2021 Credit Agreement, the allowable leverage ratio is a maximum multiple of 3.0.
Other Terms: The Company has pledged all of its U.S. tangible and intangible personal property, the equity interests of its U.S.-based subsidiaries, and a majority of the common stock of Transcat Canada Inc. as collateral security for the loans made under the revolving credit facility. |

| STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In September 2021, the Transcat, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by shareholders and became effective. The 2021 Plan replaced the Transcat, Inc. 2003 Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”). Shares available for grant under the 2021 Plan include any shares remaining available for issuance under the 2003 Plan and any shares that are subject to outstanding awards under the 2003 Plan that are subsequently canceled, expired, forfeited, or otherwise not issued or are settled in cash. The 2021 Plan provides for, among other awards, grants of restricted stock units and stock options to directors, officers and key employees at the fair market value at the date of grant. At June 25, 2022, 0.7 million shares of common stock were available for future grant under the 2021 Plan.
The Company receives an excess tax benefit related to restricted stock vesting and stock options exercised and redeemed. The discrete tax benefits related to share-based compensation and stock option activity during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and 2022 were $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units: The Company grants time-based and performance-based restricted stock units as a component of executive and key employee compensation. Expense for restricted stock unit grants is recognized on a straight-line basis for the service period of the stock award based upon fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock unit grants is the quoted market price for the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. These restricted stock units are either time vested, or vest following the third fiscal year from the date of grant subject to cumulative diluted earnings per share targets over the eligible period.
Compensation cost ultimately recognized for performance-based restricted stock units will equal the grant date fair market value of the unit that coincides with the actual outcome of the performance conditions. On an interim basis, the Company records compensation cost based on the estimated level of achievement of the performance conditions. The expense relating to the time vested restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
The Company achieved 82% of the target level for the performance-based restricted stock units granted in the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020 and as a result, issued 16 thousand shares of common stock to executive officers and certain key employees during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The following table summarizes the non-vested restricted stock units outstanding as of June 25, 2022 (in thousands, except per unit data):
Total expense relating to restricted stock units, based on grant date fair value and the achievement criteria, was $0.4 million in each of the first quarters of fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2022. As of June 25, 2022, unearned compensation, to be recognized over the grants’ respective service periods, totaled $3.1 million.
Stock Options: The Company grants stock options to employees and directors with an exercise price equal to the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula that requires assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate and the expected term of the option. Expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award. Options vest either immediately or over a period of up to five years using a straight-line basis and expire either five years or ten years from the date of grant.
We calculate the fair value of the stock options granted using the Black-Scholes model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value options granted during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2022:
We calculate expected volatility for stock options by taking an average of historical volatility over the expected term. The computation of expected term was determined based on safe harbor rules, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards and vesting schedules. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. We assume no expected dividends. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company granted an option for 34,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate to Company employees that vests over three years.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company granted an option for 10,000 shares of common stock each to two employees (20,000 shares in the aggregate) that vests over five years.

The basis for determining our operating segments is the manner in which financial information is used in monitoring our operations. Transcat has two reportable segments: Service and Distribution. Through our Service segment, we offer calibration, repair, inspection, analytical qualifications, preventative maintenance, consulting and other related services. Through our Distribution segment, we sell and rent national and proprietary brand instruments to customers globally. The Company has no inter-segment sales. We believe that reporting performance at the operating income level is the best indicator of segment performance. The following table presents segment and geographic data for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2022 (dollars in thousands):

NEXA provides calibration optimization and other technical solutions to improve asset and reliability management programs to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies worldwide. This transaction aligned with a key component of the Company’s acquisition strategy of targeting businesses that expand the depth and breadth of the Company’s Service capabilities.
The NEXA goodwill is primarily attributable to the workforce acquired, as well as operational synergies and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. All of the goodwill and intangible assets relating to the NEXA acquisition has been allocated to the Service segment. Intangible assets related to the NEXA acquisition are being amortized for financial reporting purposes on an accelerated basis over the estimated useful life of up to five years and are deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase price for NEXA was approximately $26.2 million and was paid with $23.9 million in cash and the issuance of 34,943 shares of our common stock valued at $2.4 million. Additionally, there are potential earn-out payments of up to $7.5 million over the four-year period following the closing of the transaction based upon NEXA achieving certain annual revenue and EBITDA goals. If achieved, the earn-out payments will also be made in shares of common stock unless certain criteria is met for cash payment. As of August 31, 2021 and June 25, 2022, the estimated fair value for the contingent earn-out payments, classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, was $0.2 million and included in the purchase price allocation below. This amount was calculated using a Geometric Brownian motion distribution that was then used in a Monte Carlo simulation model. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model included: 1) weighted-average cost of capital of 6.60%, 2) risk-free interest rate of 0.58%, 3) asset volatility of 20.00%, and 4) forecasted revenue and EBITDA. This contingent consideration is remeasured quarterly. If, as a result of remeasurement, the value of the contingent consideration changes, any charges or income will be included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, there were no changes to the range of outcomes for the Monte Carlo simulation model for the valuation of the contingent consideration, no gains or losses recognized in earnings for changes in the remeasurement of the contingent consideration, and no other issuance or settlement of the contingent consideration. $0.1 million of the purchase price has been put into escrow as a holdback for indemnification claims, if any.
The following is a summary of the purchase price allocation, in the aggregate, to the fair value, based on Level 3 inputs, of NEXA’s assets and liabilities acquired on August 31, 2021 (in thousands):
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, NEXA contributed revenue of $3.2 million and operating income of $0.2 million, which includes the negative impact of amortization of the acquired intangible assets.
Upstate Metrology: Effective April 29, 2021, Transcat acquired substantially all of the assets of Upstate Metrology Inc. (“Upstate Metrology”), a New York based provider of calibration services. This transaction aligned with a key component of the Company’s acquisition strategy of targeting businesses that can leverage the Company’s already existing operating infrastructure.
All the goodwill related to the Upstate Metrology acquisition has been allocated to the Service segment. Amortization of goodwill related to the Upstate Metrology acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.
The total purchase price for the assets of Upstate Metrology was approximately $0.9 million. The following is a summary of the purchase price allocation, in the aggregate, to the fair value, based on Level 3 inputs, of Upstate Metrology’s assets and liabilities acquired on April 29, 2021 (in thousands):
Since this operation was integrated immediately into our existing operation, Upstate Metrology’s separate operating income in undeterminable.
The results of acquired businesses are included in Transcat’s consolidated operating results as of the dates the businesses were acquired. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the Company’s results of operations as if the acquisitions of Alliance, Tangent, NEXA and Upstate Metrology had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2022. The pro forma results do not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations actually would have been if the transactions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented or what the Company’s operating results will be in future periods.

| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation: Transcat’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition: Distribution sales are recorded when an order’s title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. The Company recognizes the majority of its Service revenue based upon when the calibration or other activity is performed and then shipped and/or delivered to the customer. The majority of the Company’s revenue generating activities have a single performance obligation and are recognized at the point in time when control transfers and/or our obligation has been fulfilled. Some Service revenue is generated from managing customers’ calibration programs in which the Company recognizes revenue over time using the output method-time elapsed as this portrays the transfer of control to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for product shipped or services performed. Sales taxes and other taxes billed and collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The Company generally invoices its customers for freight, shipping, and handling charges. Freight billed to customers is included in revenue. Shipping and handling is not included in revenue. Provisions for customer returns are provided for in the period the related revenue is recorded based upon historical data.
Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we use judgments that could potentially impact both the timing of our satisfaction of performance obligations and our determination of transaction prices used in determining revenue recognized. Such judgments include considerations in determining our transaction prices and when our performance obligations are satisfied for our standard product sales that include general payment terms that are between net 30 and 90 days.
Revenue recognized from prior period performance obligations for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 25, 2023 (“fiscal year 2023”) was immaterial. As of June 25, 2022, the Company had no unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year. Pursuant to Topic 606, the Company applied the practical expedient with respect to disclosure of the deferral and future expected timing of revenue recognition for transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. Deferred revenue, unbilled revenue and deferred contract costs recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 25, 2022 and March 26, 2022 were immaterial. See Note 4 for disaggregated revenue information.

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Transcat has determined the fair value of debt and other financial instruments using a valuation hierarchy. The hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, consists of three levels. Level 1 uses observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, which is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. The carrying amount of debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value due to variable interest rate pricing on a portion of the debt with the balance bearing an interest rate approximating current market rates, and the carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Investment assets, which fund the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan, consist of mutual funds and are valued based on Level 1 inputs. At each of June 25, 2022 and March 26, 2022, investment assets totaled $0.2 million, and are included as a component of other assets (non-current) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation: The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options and restricted stock units, based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. The Company records compensation cost related to unvested equity awards by recognizing, on a straight-line basis, the unamortized grant date fair value over the remaining service period of each award. Excess tax benefits for share-based award activity are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of the provision for income taxes. Excess tax benefits are realized benefits from tax deductions for exercised awards in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to stock-based compensation costs for such awards. The Company did not capitalize any stock-based compensation costs as part of an asset. The Company estimates forfeiture rates based on its historical experience. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2022, the Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

| Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions | Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions: The accounts of Cal OpEx Limited (d/b/a NEXA Enterprise Asset Management), an Irish company, and Transcat Canada Inc., both of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, are maintained in the local currencies, the Euro and the Canadian dollar, respectively, and have been translated to U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the amounts representing assets and liabilities have been translated at the period-end rates of exchange and related revenue and expense accounts have been translated at an average rate of exchange during the period. Gains and losses arising from translation of Cal OpEx Limited’s and Transcat Canada Inc.’s financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded directly to the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of shareholders’ equity.
Transcat records foreign currency gains and losses on business transactions denominated in foreign currency. The net foreign currency gain was $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and less than $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. The Company continually utilizes short-term foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that its future earnings denominated in Canadian dollars would be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The Company does not apply hedge accounting and therefore the net change in the fair value of the contracts, which totaled a loss of $0.1 million during the first quarter of each of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, was recognized as a component of Other Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The change in the fair value of the contracts is offset by the change in fair value on the underlying accounts receivables denominated in Canadian dollars being hedged. On June 25, 2022, the Company had a foreign exchange contract, which matured in July 2022, outstanding in the notional amount of $3.9 million. This contract was subsequently renewed and remains in place. The Company does not use hedging arrangements for speculative purposes.

| Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock reflect the assumed conversion of stock options and unvested restricted stock units using the treasury stock method in periods in which they have a dilutive effect. In computing the per share effect of assumed conversion, proceeds received from the exercise of options and unvested restricted stock units are considered to have been used to purchase shares of common stock at the average market prices during the period, and the resulting net additional shares of common stock are included in the calculation of average shares of common stock outstanding.
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the net additional common stock equivalents had a ($0.01) effect on the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the net additional common stock equivalents had no effect on the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows (amounts in thousands):

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the underlying net assets of an acquired business. The Company tests goodwill for impairment for each reporting unit on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, or immediately if conditions indicate that such impairment could exist. The Company is permitted, but not required, to qualitatively assess indicators of a reporting unit’s fair value to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If a quantitative test is deemed necessary, a discounted cash flow analysis is prepared to estimate fair value.
Intangible assets, namely customer base and covenants not to compete, represent an allocation of purchase price to identifiable intangible assets of an acquired business. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. A summary of changes in the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets is as follows (amounts in thousands):

| Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The ASU replaces the "incurred loss" model with an "expected credit loss" model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Allowance for doubtful accounts is the most significant item for the Company under this ASU. As credit losses from the Company's trade receivables have not historically been significant, the Company anticipates that the adoption of the ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
