1.ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CSW Industrials, Inc. (the “Company,” “CSW,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a diversified industrial growth company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. We operate in three business segments: Contractor Solutions, Specialized Reliability Solutions and Engineered Building Solutions. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVAC/R”), plumbing products, grilles, registers and diffusers (“GRD”), building safety solutions and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, electrical, general industrial, energy, rail transportation and mining. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States (“U.S.”), Vietnam and Canada, and we have distribution operations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our products are sold directly to end users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, primarily including the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.
Drawing on our innovative and proven technologies, we seek to deliver solutions primarily to contractors that place a premium on superior performance and reliability. We believe our brands are well-known in the specific end markets we serve and have a reputation for high quality. We rely on both organic growth and inorganic growth through acquisitions to provide an increasingly broad portfolio of performance optimizing solutions that meet our customers’ ever-changing needs. We have a successful record of making attractive, synergistic acquisitions in support of this objective, and we remain focused on identifying additional acquisition opportunities in our core end markets.
Many of our products are used to protect the capital assets of our customers that are expensive to repair or replace and are critical to their operations. We have a source of recurring revenue from the maintenance, repair and overhaul and consumable nature of many of our products. We also provide some custom engineered products that strengthen and enhance our customer relationships. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as AC Guard®, Air Sentry®, Aspen ManufacturingTM, Balco®, Cover Guard®, Deacon®, Dust Free®, Falcon Stainless®, Greco®, Jet-Lube®, Kopr-Kote®, Leak Freeze®, Metacaulk®, No. 5®, OilSafe®, PF WaterWorksTM, PSP ProductsTM, RectorSeal®, Safe-T-Switch®, Shoemaker Manufacturing®, Smoke Guard®, TRUaire® and Whitmore®.
As of the date of this report, there continues to be uncertainty regarding overall macroeconomic conditions, including increased geopolitical tensions, risk of recessions, and the effects of potential trade policies including tariffs. In April 2025, the President of the United States issued an executive order to regulate imports by imposing country-specific tariffs on multiple nations around the world, including Vietnam and China, which are relevant to our business due to our manufacturing presence in Vietnam and our use of third-party manufacturing in China and other foreign countries. In addition, the United States imposed and/or reimposed certain commodity-specific tariffs, including tariffs on steel, aluminum and copper, which are used as inputs for some of our products. We have responded by negotiating cost reductions with certain suppliers, transitioning certain sources of supply, and by raising prices to our customers on certain products across our three segments to partially offset the impact. The current situation is dynamic, and the ultimate effect will be dependent on the magnitude and duration of the tariffs and the countries implicated, as well as our ability to mitigate their impact, where we continue to actively assess and implement mitigation options.
On June 9, 2025, we transferred the listing of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the New York Stock Exchange. Our common stock now trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the stock symbol “CSW”.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025 (“Quarterly Report”), include all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities directly attributable to CSW and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements are for us and our consolidated subsidiaries, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary, except our non-controlling 50% investment in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary and therefore have consolidated into our financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
7
The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of CSW’s financial position as of September 30, 2025, and the results of operations for the six month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in CSW’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).
Accounting Policies
We have consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report in preparing these consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Developments
Pronouncements not yet implemented
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, among others, in order to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures, including consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation by jurisdiction of income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. This ASU will be effective for our Form 10-K for fiscal 2026. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. This ASU provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. Also, this ASU requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2025-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will be effective for our Form 10-K for fiscal 2028 and our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2029. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our financial statement disclosures.
2. ACQUISITIONS
Aspen Manufacturing, LLC
On May 1, 2025, we acquired 100 % of the equity interests of Aspen Manufacturing, LLC (“Aspen Manufacturing”), based in Humble, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of $327.6 million (including $2.3 million cash acquired), comprised of cash consideration of $313.5 million and working capital adjustments of $11.8 million, including a $1.7 million payment made during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7). Aspen Manufacturing is one of the largest independent evaporator coil and air handler manufacturers for the HVAC/R industry and is recognized as a leader in product quality and indoor comfort. Aspen Manufacturing’s current product suite includes a vast range of high-quality residential and light commercial evaporator coils, blowers, and air handling units for single-family, multi-family, and manufactured homes.
8
The Aspen Manufacturing acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805"). Pursuant to Topic 805, the Company allocated the Aspen Manufacturing purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, May 1, 2025. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded to goodwill. The Company's evaluation of the facts and circumstances available as of May 1, 2025, to assign fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including income tax related amounts, is ongoing. The primary areas of preliminary purchase accounting price allocation subject to changes relate to the valuation of working capitals, income tax contingency and related indemnification asset and value of property, plant and equipment. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the Company's best initial estimate of the aggregate fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands).

Goodwill of $100.1 million represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition goodwill represents the value expected to be obtained from expanding the Company’s product offerings more broadly across the HVAC/R end market. The goodwill recorded as part of this acquisition is included in the Contractor Solutions segment. The goodwill and all intangible assets are deductible and amortized over 15 years for income tax purposes.
Aspen Manufacturing generated net revenue of $84.5 million and net income before income taxes of $17.3 million for the period from the acquisition date to September 30, 2025. Aspen Manufacturing activity is currently included in our Contractor Solutions segment. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $1.1 million of transaction expenses in connection with the Aspen Manufacturing acquisition. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of transaction expenses in connection with the Aspen Manufacturing acquisition. Transaction expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the Contractor Solutions segment.

Pursuant to Topic 805, unaudited supplemental proforma results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, as if the acquisition of Aspen Manufacturing had occurred on April 1, 2024, are presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

These proforma results do not present financial results that would have been realized had the acquisition occurred on April 1, 2024, nor are they intended to be a projection of future results. The unaudited proforma results include certain proforma adjustments to net income that were directly attributable to the acquisition, as if the acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2024, including the following:
•Additional amortization expense of $0.0 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $2.8 million and $5.5 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, that would have been recognized as a result of the allocation of purchase consideration to customer lists subject to amortization;
•Reclassed amortization expense of $0.7 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 to the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, that would have been recognized as a result of the allocation of purchase consideration to acquisition inventory step-up;
•Additional depreciation expense of $0.0 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, that would have been recognized as a result of the fair value step-up of the property, plant and equipment;
•Excluded transactions expenses of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, and additional $0.2 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, that would have been recognized;
•Estimated additional interest expense of $0.0 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as a result of incurring additional borrowing; and
•Income tax expense (benefit) of the proforma adjustments, calculated using a blended statutory income tax rate of 25.0%, of $0.2 million and $(0.1 ) million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1.5 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
PF WaterWorks, L.P.
On November 4, 2024, we acquired the assets of PF WaterWorks, L.P. (“PF WaterWorks”), based in Houston, Texas for an aggregate purchase price of $45.8 million, comprised of cash considerations of $40.0 million, an estimated working capital true-up adjustment of $2.6 million and contingent considerations initially measured at $3.2 million based on PF WaterWorks meeting defined financial targets over a period of 3.2 years. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand. PF WaterWorks offers innovative, eco-friendly drain management solutions that expand upon, and are complimentary to, our existing plumbing product portfolio. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was classified as a long-term liability of $3.2 million, which was determined using an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations. During the year ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $1.4 million in transaction expenses in connection with the PF WaterWorks acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the Contractor Solutions segment. During the six months ended September 30, 2025, no transaction expenses were incurred in connection with the PF WaterWorks acquisition.

The PF WaterWorks acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“Topic 805”). The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $10.9 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning products that are expanding our existing plumbing offerings and provide additional drain management solutions to our customers. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired comprises customer lists ($26.2 million), trade name ($3.1 million), patent ($0.6 million), accounts receivable ($1.5 million), inventory ($3.8 million), other current assets ($0.2 million), and other assets ($0.4 million), net of current liabilities ($0.7 million) and other liabilities ($0.1 million). Customer lists and patent are being amortized over 15 years and 5 years, respectively, while the trade name and goodwill are not being amortized. The Company’s evaluation of the facts and circumstances available as of November 4, 2024 to assign fair values to assets acquired is ongoing. The primary area of preliminary purchase price allocation subject to change relates to the valuation of working capital and property, plant and equipment. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill and all intangible assets are deductible and amortized over 15 years for income tax purposes. PF WaterWorks activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date.
The disclosure of PF WaterWorks' post-acquisition revenue and net income is not practical due to integration activities since the acquisition date. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.
PSP Products, Inc.
On August 1, 2024, we acquired the assets of PSP Products, Inc. (“PSP Products”), based in Manassas, Virginia for an aggregate purchase price of $51.3 million, comprised of cash consideration of $32.5 million, a working capital true-up adjustment of $7.0 million and contingent considerations initially measured at $11.8 million based on PSP Products meeting defined operational and financial targets over a period of 2.5 years. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing Revolving Credit Facility, as defined in Note 7. PSP Products offers a family of superior surge protection and load management products to our existing HVAC/R offerings. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was classified as a long-term liability of $11.8 million, of which $4.8 million was determined using an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations and $7.0 million was determined using a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we increased the fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the PSP Products acquisition due to the better than expected performance and recognized a $2.1 million expense recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the Contractor Solutions segment. During the year ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $0.5 million in transaction expenses in connection with the PSP Products acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the Contractor Solutions segment. During the six months ended September 30, 2025, no transaction expenses were incurred in connection with the PSP Products acquisition.
The PSP Products acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“Topic 805”). The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $7.3 million allocated to goodwill, which represents the value expected to be obtained from owning products that are complementary to our existing HVAC/R offerings and provide additional electrical offerings to our customers. The allocation of the fair value of the net assets acquired comprises customer lists ($30.0 million), trade name ($2.4 million), accounts receivable ($4.4 million), inventory ($8.9 million), other current asset ($0.3 million), equipment ($0.3 million) and other assets ($0.7 million), net of current liabilities ($2.7 million) and other liabilities ($0.3 million). Customer lists are being amortized over 15 years while the trade name and goodwill are not being amortized. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company completed the evaluation of the facts and circumstances available as of August 1, 2024, to assign fair values to assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill and all intangible assets are deductible and amortized over 15 years for income tax purposes. PSP Products activity has been included in our Contractor Solutions segment since the acquisition date.

3. CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
Whitmore Joint Venture
On April 1, 2021, Whitmore Manufacturing, LLC (“Whitmore”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSW, completed the formation of the joint venture (the “Whitmore JV”) with Pennzoil-Quaker State Company dba SOPUS Products, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shell Oil Company that comprises Shell’s U.S. lubricants business.
The Whitmore JV is deemed to be a VIE as the equity investors at risk, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The major factor that led to the conclusion that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE is that Whitmore has the power to direct the most significant activities due to its ability to direct the manufacturing decisions of the Whitmore JV. Whitmore JV’s total net assets are presented below (in thousands):

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, the Whitmore JV generated net income of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
The Whitmore JV’s LLC Agreement contains a put option that gives either member the right to sell its 50 % equity interest in the Whitmore JV to the other member at a dollar amount equivalent to 90 % of the initiating member's equity interest determined based on the fair market value of the Whitmore JV’s net assets. This put option can be exercised, at either member’s discretion, by providing written notice to the other member during the month of July 2024 and every two years thereafter. No put option was provided in July 2024. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the higher of the redemption value or carrying value each reporting period.

6. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to September 17, 2024, we maintained the shareholder-approved 2015 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which provided for the issuance of up to 1,230,000 shares of CSW common stock through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units or other share-based awards, to employees, officers and non-employee directors. On August 15, 2024, our shareholders approved the 2024 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2024 Plan”) and on September 17, 2024, we registered the offering of shares under the 2024 Plan on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “2024 Plan Registration”). Following the 2024 Plan Registration, no awards have been or will be granted under the 2015 Plan, and the 2015 Plan’s remaining share reserve for new awards was cancelled. Any awards granted under the 2015 Plan prior to the 2024 Plan Registration remain outstanding and vest in accordance with their original terms and conditions.
The 2024 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 850,000 shares of CSW common stock (less any shares granted pursuant to awards under the 2015 Plan prior to the 2024 Plan Registration) through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units or other share-based awards, to employees, officers and non-employee directors. As of September 30, 2025, and due to awards granted under the 2015 Plan prior to the 2024 Plan Registration, as well as new grant activity under the 2024 Plan, 807,740 shares were reserved and available for issuance under the 2024 Plan.
We recorded share-based compensation expense as follows for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

During the restriction period, the holders of restricted shares are entitled to vote and receive dividends. Unvested restricted shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 included 82,285 and 96,633 shares (at target), respectively, with performance-based vesting provisions, and a vesting range of 0 %-200 % based on pre-defined performance targets with market conditions. Performance-based awards accrue dividend equivalents, which are settled upon (and to the extent of) vesting of the underlying award and do not have the right to vote until vested. Performance-based awards are earned upon the achievement of objective performance targets and are payable in common shares. Compensation expense is calculated based on the fair market value as determined by a Monte Carlo simulation and is recognized over a 36 -month cliff vesting period. We granted no 16,982 and 18,962 awards with performance-based vesting provisions during the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with a vesting range of 0 %-200 %.

Revolving Credit Facility
As discussed in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report, prior to May 2025, we maintained a $500.0 million revolving credit facility that contained a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans, with an additional $50 million accordion feature (the “Second Amendment”). The credit facility was scheduled to mature on May 18, 2026. Borrowings under the Second Amendment bore interest at either base rate plus between 0.25 % to 1.5 % or SOFR rate plus between 1.25 % to 2.5 %, based on the Company’s leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis. The base rate was described in the Second Amendment as the highest of (i) the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.50 %, (ii) the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal, and (iii) the one-month SOFR rate plus 1.00 %. We paid a commitment fee between 0.15 % to 0.4 % based on the Company’s leverage ratio for the unutilized portion of this facility. Interest and commitment fees were payable at least quarterly and the outstanding principal balance was due at the maturity date. The Second Amendment was secured by a first priority lien on all tangible and intangible assets and stock issued by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to specified exceptions, and 65 % of the voting equity interests in its first-tier foreign subsidiaries.
On May 2, 2025, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent, and the lenders, issuing banks and swingline lender party thereto. The Third Credit Agreement provides for a $700.0 million revolving credit facility that contains a $30.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, a $15.0 million sublimit for swingline loans and an additional accordion feature of $250 million. The Third Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on May 2, 2030. The Company incurred a total of $2.8 million in financing fees, including underwriting fees, which will be amortized over the life of the Third Credit Agreement. The deferred financing fees are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets in other assets. Borrowings under the Third Credit Agreement bear interest at either base rate plus between 0.25 % to 1.5 % or the adjusted term SOFR rate plus between 1.25 % to 2.5 %, based on the Company’s leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis. The base rate is described in the Third Credit Agreement as the highest of (i) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York effective rate plus 0.50 %, (ii) the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal, and (iii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR rate plus 1.00 %. We pay a commitment fee between 0.15 % to 0.4 % based on the Company's leverage ratio for the unutilized portion of this facility. Interest and commitment fees are payable monthly and quarterly, respectively, and the outstanding principal balance is due at the maturity date. The Third Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible assets and stock issued by the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, subject to specified exceptions, and 65 % of the voting equity interests in its first-tier foreign subsidiaries.
During the six months ended September 30, 2025, we borrowed $138.4 million and repaid $78.4 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, we had $60.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, in our outstanding balance, which resulted in borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility of $638.7 million and $498.7 million, respectively, net of credit utilization. The financial covenants contained in the Third Credit Agreement require the maintenance of a maximum leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, subject to a temporary increase to 3.75 to 1.00 for 18 months following the consummation of permitted acquisitions with consideration in excess of certain threshold amounts set forth in the Third Credit Agreement. The Third Credit Agreement also requires the maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio of
15
Interest payments on the first $100.0 million borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility were hedged under an interest rate swap agreement as described in Note 9 until September 2024, when the balance of the Revolving Credit Facility was paid off using a portion of the proceeds from the equity offering as discussed in Note 11 and the hedge was terminated as described in Note 9.
8. LEASES
We have operating leases for manufacturing facilities, offices, warehouses, vehicles and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 22 years, some of which include escalation clauses and/or options to extend or terminate the leases. We do not currently have any financing lease arrangements.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING
From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge exposure to floating interest rates on certain portions of our debt.
On February 7, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on the first $100.0 million of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. This interest rate swap fixed the one-month SOFR rate at 3.85 % for the first $100.0 million borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility and was scheduled to expire on May 18, 2026. In September 2024, upon the payoff of the outstanding Revolving Credit Facility balance, we terminated the interest rate swap and incurred a cash payment of $0.4 million, which was reported in our Consolidated Statements of Income in interest expense, net. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, we had no

Equity Offering
In September 2024, the Company completed a follow-on equity offering ("Equity Offering"), pursuant to which we issued and sold a total of 1,265,000 shares of our common stock to the public, including shares issued pursuant to the underwriters' full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering a price of $285 per share. We received proceeds of $347.4 million, net of underwriting fees and discounts and expenses incurred directly related to the Equity Offering. We used a portion of the proceeds to pay off the outstanding balance of our Revolving Credit Facility at the time of the Equity Offering, and used the remainder of the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the acquisitions of PF WaterWorks and Aspen Manufacturing, as discussed in Note 2.

Share Repurchase Program
On December 16, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock over a two-year period. On November 18, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new $200.0 million share repurchase program, which replaced the previously announced $100.0 million program. Under the current repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases will be made at our discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. Our Board of Directors has established an expiration date of December 31, 2026, for completion of the current repurchase program; however, such program may be limited or terminated at any time at our discretion without notice.
Under the current $200.0 million repurchase program, a total of 72,911 and 88,450 shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 for $18.3 million and $23.0 million, respectively. Under the prior $100.0 million repurchase program, 13,658 and 32,454 shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 for $4.2 million and $8.9 million, respectively.
In connection with the vesting of share awards, zero and 14,966 shares for zero and $4.4 million, respectively, were tendered by employees to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements during the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. zero and 14,283 shares for zero and $3.3 million, respectively, were tendered by employees to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively
Dividends
On April 14, 2024, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to a rate of $0.21 per share, which was subsequently increased to a rate of $0.24 per share on October 11, 2024. On April 15, 2025, we announced another quarterly dividend increase to a rate of $0.27 per share. Total dividends of $4.5 million and $3.3 million were paid during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Total dividends of $9.1 million and $6.5 million were paid during the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable approximate their fair values at September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 due to their short-term nature. Cash equivalents generally consist of money market funds invested with a reputable and highly diversified global bank in instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The fair value of these cash equivalents is based on quoted market price, which is a Level I input. The carrying value of our debt (discussed in Note 7) approximates fair value as it bears interest at variable rates. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract (as discussed in Note 9) is determined using Level II inputs.
The long-term investments with no readily determinable fair value are measured using the alternative for fair value and the investment's carrying value is reported at cost, adjusted for impairments or any observable price changes in ordinary transactions with identical or similar investments. As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the long-term investments reported in the balance sheets were $2.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the higher of the redemption value or carrying value each reporting period. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires management judgment with respect to future revenue, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates and is classified as Level III under the fair value hierarchy. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is discussed in Note 3.
19
The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to acquisitions is determined using either a scenario-based analysis on forecasted future results or an option pricing model simulation that determines an average projected payment value across numerous iterations. The contingent consideration liability is recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and is remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value. The increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration can result from changes in future operations, forecasted revenue and assumed discount rates. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and is classified as Level III under the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the contingent consideration liabilities, reported in our consolidated balance sheets in accrued and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, were $19.7 million and $24.4 million, respectively.

13. CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no matters pending, whether individually or in the aggregate, that we currently believe have a reasonable possibility of having a material impact to our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
14. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we earned $55.5 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $14.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.4 %. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, we earned $109.9 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $27.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.4 %. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), executive compensation limitations, and provision for global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”); offset by adjustment to tax payable, foreign tax credits, excess tax deductions related to equity compensation and foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”).
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we earned $49.5 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $12.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.1 %. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, we earned $102.3 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $26.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.2 %. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), provision for GILTI, executive compensation
20
limitations, and increases to penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions (“UTP”); offset by foreign tax credits and excess tax deductions related to equity compensation and FDII.
The Company expects $6.7 million of reserves for UTPs to either be settled or expire within the next 12 months as the statutes of limitations expire.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development introduced a framework under pillar two ("Pillar Two"), which includes a global minimum tax rate of 15% applied on a county-by-country basis for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds. Certain jurisdictions in which we do business have enacted laws implementing Pillar Two. We are monitoring these developments and do not believe these rules will have a material impact on our financial condition and/or consolidated results.
On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (the "Act") was enacted into law. The Act includes changes to the U.S. tax law that are applicable to the Company, including the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation and 100% expensing of research and development costs, a change in the calculation of deductible interest expense, and changes to the U.S. tax treatment of GILTI and FDII. We evaluated the Act during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and estimated the Act to have an immaterial impact on our income tax expenses. We expect the Act will change the timing of our cash tax payments in the current fiscal year and future periods. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the Act as additional guidance becomes available. We have not recognized any impact of the Act as of September 30, 2025.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our operations financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report, as well as our consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 included in our Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations relating to future events and our future performance that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those risk factors set forth in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
CSW Industrials, Inc. (the “Company,” “CSW,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a diversified industrial growth company with a strategic focus on providing niche, value-added products in the end markets we serve. We operate in three business segments: Contractor Solutions, Specialized Reliability Solutions and Engineered Building Solutions. Our products include mechanical products for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVAC/R”), plumbing products, grilles, registers and diffusers (“GRD”), building safety solutions and high-performance specialty lubricants and sealants. End markets that we serve include HVAC/R, architecturally-specified building products, plumbing, electrical, general industrial, energy, rail transportation and mining. Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the United States (“U.S.”), Vietnam and Canada, and we have distribution operations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Our products are sold directly to end users or through designated channels in over 100 countries around the world, primarily including the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.
Drawing on our innovative and proven technologies, we seek to deliver solutions primarily to contractors that place a premium on superior performance and reliability. We believe our brands are well-known in the specific end markets we serve and have a reputation for high quality. We rely on both organic growth and inorganic growth through acquisitions to provide an increasingly broad portfolio of performance optimizing solutions that meet our customers’ ever-changing needs. We have a successful record of making attractive, synergistic acquisitions in support of this objective, and we remain focused on identifying additional acquisition opportunities in our core end markets.
Many of our products are used to protect the capital assets of our customers that are expensive to repair or replace and are critical to their operations. We have a source of recurring revenue from the maintenance, repair and overhaul and consumable nature of many of our products. We also provide some custom engineered products that strengthen and enhance our customer relationships. The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 100 well-respected brand names, such as AC Guard®, Air Sentry®, Aspen ManufacturingTM, Balco®, Cover Guard®, Deacon®, Dust Free®, Falcon Stainless®, Greco®, Jet-Lube®, Kopr-Kote®, Leak Freeze®, Metacaulk®, No. 5®, OilSafe®, PF WaterWorksTM, PSP ProductsTM, RectorSeal®, Safe-T-Switch®, Shoemaker Manufacturing®, Smoke Guard®, TRUaire® and Whitmore®.
As of the date of this report, there continues to be uncertainty regarding overall macroeconomic conditions, including increased geopolitical tensions, risk of recessions, and the effects of potential trade policies including tariffs. In April 2025, the President of the United States issued an executive order to regulate imports by imposing country-specific tariffs on multiple nations around the world, including Vietnam and China, which are relevant to our business due to our manufacturing presence in Vietnam and our use of third-party manufacturing in China and other foreign countries. In addition, the United States imposed and/or reimposed certain commodity-specific tariffs, including tariffs on steel, aluminum and copper, which are used as inputs for some of our products. We have responded by negotiating cost reductions with certain suppliers, transitioning certain sources of supply, and by raising prices to our customers on certain products across our three segments to partially offset the impact. The current situation is dynamic, and the ultimate effect will be dependent on the magnitude and duration of the tariffs and the countries implicated, as well as our ability to mitigate their impact, where we continue to actively assess and implement mitigation options.
On June 9, 2025, we transferred the listing of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the New York Stock Exchange. Our common stock now trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the stock symbol “CSW”.

Our Outlook
We expect to maintain a strong balance sheet in fiscal year 2026, which provides us with access to capital through our cash on hand, internally-generated cash flow, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our capital allocation strategy continues to guide our investing decisions, with a priority to direct capital to the highest risk adjusted return opportunities, within the categories of organic growth, strategic acquisitions and the return of cash to shareholders through our share repurchase and dividend programs. With the strength of our financial position, we will continue to invest in financially and strategically attractive expanded product offerings, key elements of our long-term strategy of targeting long-term profitable growth. We will continue to invest our capital in maintaining our facilities and in continuous improvement initiatives. We recognize the importance of, and remain committed to, continuing to drive organic growth, as well as investing additional capital in opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns, driving increased penetration in the end markets we serve. We remain disciplined in our approach to acquisitions, particularly as it relates to our assessment of valuation, prospective synergies, diligence, cultural fit and ease of integration, especially in light of economic conditions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides an analysis of our consolidated results of operations and results for each of our segments.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $15.3 million, or 14.7%, as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily a result of increased revenue and favorable ocean freight costs, partially offset by increases in tariffs and material costs directly and indirectly driven by tariffs. Gross profit margin of 43.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased as compared to 45.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was driven by the inclusion of recent acquisitions and increases in tariffs and material costs, partially offset by pricing actions and favorable ocean freight costs.
Gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2025 increased $23.3 million, or 11.0%, as compared with the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Net interest expense of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was comparable to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net interest expense of $2.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $1.5 million as compared to the net interest expense of $3.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was due to the lower average borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Other income, net of $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 changed $0.7 million, as compared to the net income of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

The change in the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 was due to the foreign currency gains/losses related to transactions in currencies other than functional currencies.
Provision for Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rate
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we earned $55.5 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $14.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.4%. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, we earned $109.9 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $27.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.4%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), executive compensation limitations, and provision for global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”); offset by adjustment to tax payable, foreign tax credits, excess tax deductions related to equity compensation and foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”).
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we earned $49.5 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $12.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.1%. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, we earned $102.3 million from operations before taxes and provided for income taxes of $26.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.2%. The provision for income taxes differed from the statutory rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to state income tax (net of federal benefit), provision for GILTI, executive compensation limitations, and increases to penalties and interest on uncertain tax positions (“UTP”); offset by foreign tax credits and excess tax deductions related to equity compensation and FDII.
The Company expects $6.7 million of reserves for UTPs to either be settled or expire within the next 12 months as the statutes of limitations expire.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development introduced a framework under pillar two ("Pillar Two"), which includes a global minimum tax rate of 15% applied on a county-by-country basis for companies with global revenues and

profits above certain thresholds. Certain jurisdictions in which we do business have enacted laws implementing Pillar Two. We are monitoring these developments and do not believe these rules will have a material impact on our financial condition and/or consolidated results.
On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (the "Act") was enacted into law. The Act includes changes to the U.S. tax law that are applicable to the Company, including the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation and 100% expensing of research and development costs, a change in the calculation of deductible interest expense, and changes to the U.S. tax treatment of GILTI and FDII. We evaluated the Act during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and estimated the Act to have an immaterial impact on our income tax expenses. We expect the Act will change the timing of our cash tax payments in the current fiscal year and future periods. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the Act as additional guidance becomes available. We have not recognized any impact of the Act as of September 30, 2025.
Business Segments
We conduct our operations through three business segments based on how we manage the business. We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segment's operating income. The key operating results for our three segments are discussed below.
Contractor Solutions Segment Results
The Contractor Solutions segment manufactures efficiency and performance enhancing products predominantly for residential and commercial HVAC/R, plumbing and electrical applications, which are designed primarily for professional end-use customers.

Operating income for the six months ended September 30, 2025 increased $10.0 million, or 10.4%, as compared with the six months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increased revenue and favorable ocean freight

costs, partially offset by increased tariffs. Operating income margin of 26.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2025 decreased as compared to 30.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was due to the inclusion of recent acquisitions, increased tariffs and unfavorable revenue mix, partially offset by pricing actions and lower ocean freight costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Existing cash on hand, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolver Borrowings”) are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. Our ability to consistently generate strong cash flow from our operations is one of our most significant financial strengths: it enables us to invest in our people and our brands, make capital investments and strategic acquisitions, provide a cash dividend program, and from time-to-time, repurchase shares of our common stock. Additionally, we use our Revolver Borrowings to support our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and strategic acquisitions. We seek to maintain adequate liquidity to meet working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures, make scheduled interest payments on debt and meet our contingent consideration obligations. Absent a material deterioration of market conditions, we believe that cash flows from operating activities and financing activities (which would primarily consist of Revolver Borrowings), will provide adequate resources to satisfy our working capital, scheduled interest payments on debt, anticipated dividend payments, periodic share repurchases, contingent consideration obligations and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for both our short-term and long-term needs.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities of various sizes. The cost and terms of any financing to be raised in conjunction with any acquisition, including our ability to raise capital, is a critical consideration in any such evaluation. Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report contains a discussion of the recent acquisitions.
Financing
Credit Facilities
See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of our indebtedness. We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2025. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of our interest rate swaps.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained within this Quarterly Report. Our critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements were discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report. No significant changes to these policies, as described in our Annual Report, have occurred in the six months ended September 30, 2025.
The process of preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based upon what we believe is the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Based on an assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, we believe that our consolidated financial statements provide a meaningful and fair perspective of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This is not to suggest that other general risk factors, such as changes in worldwide demand, changes in material costs, performance of acquired businesses and others, could not adversely impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.
ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
We have presented the information about pronouncements not yet implemented in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements appearing in this Quarterly Report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include expected restructuring charges and the results of the restructuring, financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “potential,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to, or statements that are subject to risks, contingencies or uncertainties that relate to:
•our business strategy;
•changes in local political, economic, social and labor conditions;
34
•potential disruptions from wars and military conflicts, including geopolitical uncertainty due to the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine;
•future levels of revenues, operating margins, income from operations, net income or earnings per share;
•the ability to respond to inflationary pressure, including reductions on consumer discretionary income and our ability to pass along rising costs through increased selling prices;
•anticipated levels of demand for our products and services;
•the actual impact to supply, production levels and costs from global supply chain logistics and transportation challenges;
•future levels of research and development, capital, environmental or maintenance expenditures;
•our beliefs regarding the timing and effects on our business of health and safety, tax, environmental or other legislation, rules and regulations;
•the success or timing of completion of ongoing or anticipated capital, restructuring or maintenance projects;
•expectations regarding the acquisition or divestiture of assets and businesses;
•our ability to obtain appropriate insurance and indemnities;
•the potential effects of judicial or other proceedings, including tax audits, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;
•the anticipated effects of actions of third parties such as competitors, or federal, foreign, state or local regulatory authorities, or plaintiffs in litigation;
•the expected impact of accounting pronouncements;
•changes in global trade policies and tariffs; and
•the other factors listed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and other filings with the SEC.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements for a number of important factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report. You should not put undue reliance on any forwarding-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We seek to minimize the risk associated with changes in interest rates through regular operating and financing activities, and when deemed appropriate, through the use of an interest rate swap. It is our policy to enter into interest rate swaps only to the extent considered necessary to meet our risk management objectives. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Variable Rate Indebtedness
We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate indebtedness. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct effect on interest expense associated with our outstanding indebtedness. From time to time, we manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings by means of interest rate swap agreements. On February 7, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on the first $100.0 million borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility (defined in Note 7). In September 2024, the hedge was terminated as described in Note 9. At September 30, 2025, we had $60.0 million in unhedged variable rate indebtedness with an average interest rate of 5.4%, each quarter point change in interest rates would result in a change of approximately $0.2 million in our interest expense on an annual basis.
We may also be exposed to credit risk in derivative contracts we may use. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We have sought to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.
35
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We conduct an immaterial portion of our operations outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our non-U.S. operations are conducted primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies, and include the Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar and Vietnamese dong. Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions denominated in a currency other than our operations' functional currency. We recognized foreign currency transaction net gain (loss) of $0.6 million and $(0.6) million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included in other expense, net on our Consolidated Statements of Income. We realized a net gain (loss) associated with foreign currency translation gain (loss) of $0.1 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Based on a sensitivity analysis at September 30, 2025, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the six months ended September 30, 2025 would have impacted our net earnings by approximately 4%. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion relative to the U.S. dollar and that there are no indirect effects, such as changes in non-U.S. dollar revenue volumes or prices.
International Markets Risk
Our manufacturing operations are concentrated in the U.S., Vietnam and Canada, and we have distribution operations in the U.S., Australia, Canada and the U.K. Rapidly changing global trade policies, such as tariffs, may increase operating costs and uncertainty. We continue to monitor domestic and international regulatory developments relevant to our manufacturing and distribution operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
On May 1, 2025, we completed the Aspen Manufacturing acquisition. As such, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures did not include the internal control over financial reporting of Aspen Manufacturing. These exclusions are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff’s guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures that are also part of internal control over financial reporting in the 12 months following the acquisition. Aspen Manufacturing accounted for 24.4% of our total assets and 19.4% of our total net revenue as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
36
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The disclosure contained in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report is incorporated by reference into this “Item 1. Legal Proceedings.” In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are from time to time named defendants in certain lawsuits incidental to our business, including product liability claims that are insured, subject to applicable deductibles, and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving us and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not currently expect the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, careful consideration should be given to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of our Annual Report, which contain descriptions of significant factors that may cause the actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.
There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report and subsequent SEC filings. The risks described in this Quarterly Report, our Annual Report and in our other SEC filings or press releases from time to time are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties are currently deemed immaterial based on management’s assessment of currently available information, which remains subject to change; however, new risks that are currently unknown to us may arise in the future that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
