NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A--Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
nine
-month period ended
January 31, 2018
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
April 30, 2018
. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2017
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). On December 29, 2017, the Company successfully completed the acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. and subsidiaries (“RSI”). As a result of the RSI acquisition, the financial results of the Company for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 include the results of operation of RSI and its subsidiaries since the date of acquisition.
Inventory:
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Inventory costs are determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and for certain subsidiaries by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The LIFO cost reserve is determined in the aggregate for inventory and is applied as a reduction to inventories determined on the FIFO method. FIFO inventory cost approximates replacement cost.
Use of Estimates
:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Examples of estimates include the allocation of fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, pension obligations, useful lives of property and equipment and recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the net amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination measured at fair value. The Company does not amortize goodwill but evaluates for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
When testing goodwill for impairment, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If after such assessment an entity concludes that the asset is not impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the asset using a quantitative impairment test, and if impaired, the associated assets must be written down to fair value. There were
no
impairment charges related to goodwill for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017.
The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range up to
six
years, unless such lives are deemed indefinite. There were
no
impairment charges related to other intangible assets for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017.
Note B--New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Accounting Standard Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date." ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14 to have a material
impact on results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of ASU 2014-09 primarily to determine the transition method to utilize at adoption and the additional disclosures required.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize most leases on-balance sheet, which will increase reported assets and liabilities. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 supersedes "Topic 840 - Leases." ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 mandates a modified retrospective transition method for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit (income) cost. The other components of net benefit (income) cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of operating income. The amendments also allow only the service cost component of net benefit (income) cost to be eligible for capitalization. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied (1) retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension (income) cost and net periodic postretirement benefit (income) cost on the income statement, and (2) prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension (income) cost and net periodic postretirement benefit (income) cost in assets. The Company believes this guidance will not have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2018-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Note C-- Acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. (the "RSI Acquisition")
On November 30, 2017, American Woodmark, Alliance Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), RSI Home Products, Inc. ("RSI") and Ronald M. Simon, as the RSI stockholder representative, entered into a merger agreement (the merger agreement"), pursuant to which the parties agreed to merge Merger Sub with and into RSI pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, with RSI continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of American Woodmark. On December 29, 2017 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Company consummated the RSI Acquisition pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As a result of the merger of Merger Sub with and into RSI, Merger Sub’s separate corporate existence ceased, and RSI continued as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of American Woodmark. RSI is a leading manufacturer of kitchen and bath cabinetry and home organization products. The acquisition is expected to enable the Company to make further progress in implementing its business strategy of increasing operational efficiency to drive enhanced profitability, leveraging differentiated service platforms to grow revenue, and continuing to deepen relationships within its existing customer base.
In connection with the RSI Acquisition, on December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as administrative agent, providing for a
$100 million
, 5-year revolving loan facility with a
$25 million
sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility”), a
$250 million
,
5
-year initial term loan facility (the "Initial Term Loan") and a
$250 million
delayed draw term loan facility (the "Delayed Draw Term Loan" and, together with the Revolving Facility and the Initial Term Loan, the "Credit Facilities") (See Note M--
Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt
for further details). American Woodmark used the full proceeds of the Initial Term Loan and approximately
$50 million
in loans under the Revolving Facility, together with cash on its balance sheet, to fund the cash portion of the RSI Acquisition consideration and its transaction fees and expenses.
At the closing of the RSI Acquisition, American Woodmark assumed approximately
$589 million
(including accrued interest) of RSI’s indebtedness consisting largely of RSI’s 6½% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2023 (the "RSI Notes"). (See Note M--
Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt
).
Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
As consideration for the RSI Acquisition, American Woodmark paid total accounting consideration of
$553.2 million
including (i) cash consideration of
$363.3 million
, net of cash acquired, and (ii)
1,457,568
newly issued shares of American Woodmark common stock valued at
$189.8 million
based on
$130.25
per share, which was the closing stock price on the Acquisition Date. The consideration paid is subject to a working capital adjustment by which the consideration will be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether the amount of working capital delivered at the Acquisition Date exceeds or is less than a target amount. The working capital adjustment has not yet been finalized and the accounting consideration does not reflect any adjustment to the estimated working capital reflected in the consideration paid at the Acquisition Date.
The Company accounted for the acquisition of RSI as a business combination, which requires the Company to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company has commenced the appraisals necessary to assess the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the Acquisition Date. The amounts recorded for certain assets and liabilities are preliminary in nature and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Date. The final determination of the fair values of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the measurement period of up to one year from the Acquisition Date permitted under GAAP. The final values may also result in changes to depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets such as buildings, equipment and intangible assets. Any potential adjustments made could be material in relation to the preliminary values presented in the table below.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the Acquisition Date, which is based on the accounting consideration of
$553.2 million
, to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined using income, market and cost valuation methodologies. The fair value of debt acquired was determined using Level 1 inputs as quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities were available. The fair value measurements were estimated using significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820. The income approach was primarily used to value the customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The income approach determines value for an asset or liability based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated over the remaining economic life of the asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Our estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected product pricing, operational performance including company specific synergies, product life cycles, material and labor pricing, and other relevant customer, contractual and market factors. The net cash flows are discounted to present value
using a discount rate that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flow and the time value of money. The market approach is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities, or a group of assets or liabilities. The cost approach estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the property, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation. The cost and market approaches were used to value inventory, while the cost approach was the primary approach used to value property, plant and equipment.
The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of
$765.7 million
of goodwill, which is not expected to be amortizable for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized is attributable to expected revenue synergies generated by the integration of the Company’s products with RSI's, cost synergies resulting from purchasing and manufacturing activities, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as the assembled workforce of RSI.
Customer receivables were recorded at the contractual amounts due of
$54.7 million
, less an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$0.1 million
, which approximates their fair value.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the exercise of significant judgment, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, long-term growth rates and discount rates. The cash flows employed in the valuation are based on the Company’s best estimates of future sales, earnings and cash flows after considering factors such as general market conditions, expected future customer orders, contracts with suppliers, labor costs, changes in working capital, long term business plans and recent operating performance. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results.
Impact to Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2018
RSI’s financial results have been included in our consolidated financial results for the period from the Acquisition Date to January 31, 2018. As a result, our consolidated financial results for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 do not reflect a full nine months of RSI results. From December 29, 2017 to January 31, 2018, RSI generated net sales of approximately
$38.6 million
and an operating loss of approximately
$4.9 million
, inclusive of intangible amortization and adjustments to account for the acquisition, including a
$6.3 million
charge to cost of sales as a result of the step up of inventory as of the Acquisition Date to fair value.
The Company incurred approximately
$10.2 million
of transaction costs associated with the RSI Acquisition during the nine months ended January 31, 2018 that the Company expensed as incurred. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses
on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

(1) Includes stock compensation expense of
$17.5 million
and
$2.6 million
for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, calculated under the intrinsic value method in measuring stock-based liability awards related to stock-based grants made by RSI prior to the RSI Acquisition.
The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial data above assumes the RSI Acquisition occurred on May 1, 2016 and has been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the historical results of RSI with pro forma adjustments, net of a statutory tax rate of
34.4%
and
40.4%
for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Significant pro forma adjustments include the recognition of additional amortization expense related to acquired intangible
assets (net of historical amortization expense of RSI), additional interest expense related to the Initial Term Loan used to finance the acquisition, and elimination of the inventory fair value step-up expense and transaction related expenses which are non-recurring in nature. These adjustments assume the application of fair value adjustments to intangibles and that the
$300.0 million
borrowed under the Credit Agreement occurred on May 1, 2016 and are as follows: amortization expense, net of tax, of
$20.0 million
and
$20.5 million
for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively; interest expense, net of tax, (including amortization expense related to
$6.7 million
of debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over a period of
5 years
) of
$3.0 million
and
$3.3 million
for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The following amounts have been excluded: inventory fair value step-up expense, net of tax, of
$4.1 million
for the nine months ended January 31, 2018; and transaction expenses add-back, net of tax, of
$6.9 million
and
$0.5 million
for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017.
The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not reflect the realization of any expected ongoing cost or revenue synergies relating to the integration of the two companies. Further, the pro forma data should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the RSI Acquisition, related financing, and associated issuance of Senior Notes (defined herein) and repurchase or redemption of the RSI Notes had been actually consummated on May 1, 2016, nor are they indicative of future results (See Note R--

The Company repurchased a total of
58,371
and
38,318
shares of its common stock during the three-month periods ended
January 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively, and
309,612
and
178,118
shares of its common stock during the nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There were
no
potentially dilutive securities for the three- and nine-month periods ended
January 31, 2018
and 2017, which were excluded from the calculation of net earnings per diluted share.
Note E--Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has various stock-based compensation plans. During the quarter ended January 31, 2018, the Company did not grant any stock-based compensation awards to employees or non-employee directors.
During the nine-months ended January 31, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of service-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs to key employees and non-employee directors. The employee performance-based RSUs totaled
33,080
units and the employee and non-employee director service-based RSUs totaled
22,250
units. The performance-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive
one
share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The service-based RSUs entitle the recipients to receive
one
share of the Company’s common stock per unit granted if they remain continuously employed with the Company (or, for
non-employee directors, serving on the Board of Directors) until the units vest. All of the Company’s RSUs granted to employees cliff-vest
three
years from the grant date.
For the three- and nine-month periods ended
January 31, 2018
and
2017
, stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows:

During the
nine
months ended
January 31, 2018
, the Company also approved grants of
4,496
cash-settled performance-based restricted stock tracking units ("RSTUs") and
2,519
cash-settled service-based RSTUs for more junior level employees. Each performance-based RSTU entitles the recipient to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if applicable performance conditions are met and the recipient remains continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. The service-based RSTUs entitle the recipients to receive a payment in cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock as of the payment date if they remain continuously employed with the Company until the units vest. All of the RSTUs cliff-vest
three
years from the grant date. Since the RSTUs will be settled in cash, the grant date fair value of these awards is recorded as a liability until the date of payment. The fair value of each cash-settled RSTU award is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the liability is adjusted, and related expense recorded, based on the new fair value. The Company recognized expense of approximately
$0.6 million
and
$0.1 million
for the three-month periods ended
January 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively, and approximately
$1.0 million
and
$0.3 million
for the nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. A liability for payment of the RSTUs is included in the Company's balance sheets in the amount of $
1.6 million
and $
1.5 million
as of
January 31, 2018
and
April 30, 2017
, respectively.

Note J--Product Warranty
The Company estimates outstanding warranty costs based on the historical relationship between warranty claims and revenues. The warranty accrual is reviewed monthly to verify that it properly reflects the remaining obligation based on the anticipated expenditures over the balance of the obligation period. Adjustments are made when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates. Warranty claims are generally made within
two months
of the original shipment date.

The Company contributed a total of
$19.3 million
to its pension plans in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, which represents both required and discretionary funding, and does not expect to contribute any additional funds during the remainder of fiscal 2018.
On August 24, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved up to
$13.6 million
of discretionary funding which is included in the total contributions for the year.
The Company made contributions of
$27.3 million
to its pension plans in fiscal 2017.
Note L--Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes the hierarchy of fair value measurements to classify certain of its assets and liabilities based upon the following definitions:
Level 1- Investments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2- Investments with observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3- Investments with unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents valued at cost, which approximates fair value, due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Money market funds, mutual funds and certificates of deposits are carried at fair value in the financial statements. For these investments, the fair value was estimated based on quoted prices categorized as a Level 1 valuation. The Company's mutual fund investment assets represent contributions made and invested on behalf of the Company's executive officers in a supplementary employee retirement plan.
The fair values of the Company's RSI Notes were determined using Level 2 inputs based the conditional call and tender offer described further in Note R, which approximates the carrying value recorded in connection with the RSI Acquisition. The carrying values of the Credit Facilities approximated fair value because the interest rates vary with market interest rates.
The following table summarizes the fair values of assets that are recorded in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of
January 31, 2018
and

Note M--Loans Payable and Long-Term Debt
The Credit Facilities
On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which provides for the Revolving Facility, the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan. Also on December 29, 2017, the Company borrowed the entire
$250 million
available under the Initial Term Loan and approximately
$50 million
under the Revolving Facility to fund, in part, the cash portion of the RSI Acquisition consideration and the Company’s transaction fees and expenses related to the RSI Acquisition. In connection with its entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its prior
$35 million
revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo. As of January 31, 2018,
$250 million
and
$30 million
remained outstanding on the Initial Term Loan and the Revolving Facility, respectively, and
no
amounts were outstanding under the Delayed Draw Term Loan. The Initial Term Loan is scheduled to mature as follows:
$12.5 million
by January 31, 2019;
$18.8 million
by January 31, 2020;
$25.0 million
by January 31, 2021;
$25.0 million
by January 31, 2022; and
$168.7 million
by December 29, 2022. The Credit Facilities mature on December 29, 2022. The Company is required to repay any aggregate outstanding amounts under the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan in certain specified quarterly installments beginning on April 30, 2018.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities bear interest based on a fluctuating rate measured by reference to either, at the Company’s option, a base rate plus an applicable margin or LIBOR plus an applicable margin, with the applicable margin being determined by reference to the Company’s then-current “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio.” The Company will also incur a quarterly commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility during the applicable quarter at a rate per annum also determined by reference to the Company’s then-current “Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio.” In addition, a letter of credit fee will accrue on the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit at a per annum rate equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR loans, payable quarterly in arrears.
The Credit Agreement includes negative covenants restricting the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens on its assets, make certain investments, dispose of its assets or engage in a merger or other similar transaction or engage in transactions with affiliates, subject, in each case, to the various exceptions and conditions described in the Credit Agreement. The negative covenants further restrict the Company’s ability to make certain restricted payments, including the payment of dividends, in certain limited circumstances.
As of January 31, 2018, the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement were guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries (other than RSI and its subsidiaries) and the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries (other than RSI and its subsidiaries) were secured by a pledge of substantially all of their respective personal property.
The RSI Notes
On December 29, 2017, as a result of the closing of the RSI Acquisition, the Company assumed, through its acquisition of all of the equity interests of RSI, the RSI Notes. As of December 29, 2017, the RSI Notes had a fair value of
$602.3 million
. As of January 31, 2018, the entire
$575 million
aggregate principal amount of the RSI Notes remained outstanding.
As of January 31, 2018, the RSI Notes (i) accrued interest at a rate equal to
6.5%
per annum, payable in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, (ii) were scheduled to mature on March 15, 2023, (iii) were guaranteed by each of RSI’s domestic subsidiaries, and (iv) were secured by a second lien on substantially all of the assets of RSI and its domestic subsidiaries. As of January 31, 2018, the indenture governing the RSI Notes contained certain customary covenants, including covenants that limited or restricted RSI’s ability to incur debt, pay dividends, repurchase or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock, make other restricted payments, create liens, dispose of assets or engage in transactions with affiliates, subject, in each case to the exceptions and conditions described in the indenture. As of January 31, 2018, RSI was in compliance with the covenants under the indenture governing the RSI Notes. See Note R--
Subsequent Events
for information concerning the refinancing of the RSI Notes.
Other RSI Debt
On December 29, 2017, the Company also assumed, through its acquisition of all of the equity interests of RSI,
$2.8 million
of subordinated promissory notes payable to certain current and former RSI employees. The promissory notes each have a term of
5
years, bear interest at rates ranging from
1.01%
to
2.12%
per annum, may be prepaid by RSI at any time without penalty and are due in annual installments of principal and interest on their respective anniversary dates. The notes were issued in exchange for the cancellation of vested stock options of RSI either upon the termination of the applicable employee or immediately prior to the expiration of such options. As of January 31, 2018, the aggregate outstanding balance on the notes was
$2.8 million
, with payments due through June 30, 2022.
Note O--Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2018 was
47.0%
and
33.9%
, respectively, compared with
33.2%
and
34.5%
, respectively, in the comparable periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to transaction costs incurred due to the RSI Acquisition and an expected reduction in the amount of domestic production deduction expected for the year due to such acquisition in the quarter, partially offset by the overall benefit from the reduction in the tax rate enacted in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (H.R. 1) (the “Tax Act”). The Company recorded a net tax benefit of
$1.2 million
in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 in connection with the Tax Act enacted in December 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to the net benefit of
$1.2 million
from tax rate reduction enacted in connection with the Tax Act and an increase of
$0.5 million
in tax benefits from stock-based compensation transactions. As is discussed in Note C--
Acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc.
, a deferred tax liability of approximately
$67.8 million
was recorded as a result of the RSI Acquisition.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was signed into law. The Tax Act significantly revises the future ongoing U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate from
35%
to
21%
effective January 1, 2018. As a result, a proportional federal rate of
30.4%
is applicable in the current fiscal year.
The key impacts of the Tax Act for the three months ended January 31, 2018 were the re-measurement of deferred tax balances to the new corporate tax rate and the reduction of corporate federal tax rate applicable in the calculation of current tax expense from
35%
to
30.4%
in the current fiscal year. The Company is required to re-measure, through income tax expense, its deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted rate at which the items are expected to be recovered or settled.
Due to the complexities associated with understanding and applying various aspects of the new law and quantifying or estimating amounts upon which calculations required to account for new law are based, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) recognized that it may be difficult for many companies to complete the determination of all accounting effects of the new law within the available timeframe for issuing their financial statements for the period of enactment. As a result, the SEC provided guidance under SAB 118, permitting corporations to record and report specific items impacted by the new law on the basis of reasonable estimates if final amounts have not been determined and designate them as provisional amounts, or to continue to account for specific items under the previous law if it is not possible to develop reasonable estimates within the timeframe for issuance of the financial statements. In subsequent reporting periods, as the accounting for those items is finalized, companies are expected to record the appropriate adjustments to the initial accounting, removing the provisional designation on an item in the period that the accounting for that item is completed. A measurement period of no more than one year from the date of enactment of the new law is provided under the SEC guidance to complete all such adjustments.
While the Company has not yet completed the assessment of the effects of the Tax Act, we are able to determine reasonable estimates for the impacts of the key items specified above, thus we reported provisional amounts for these items. The Company is still analyzing the impact of the provisions of the law on our deferred tax balances and refining our calculations which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. The provisional amount determined and recorded for the re-measurement of our deferred tax balances resulted in a net reduction in deferred assets of
$1.6 million
. While we have made a reasonable estimate of the impact of the federal corporate tax rate reduction, that estimate could change as we complete our analysis of all impacts of the Tax Act.
We were unable to determine a reasonable estimate of the impact, if any, of the effect on our existing deferred tax assets related to executive compensation. We have continued to apply our existing accounting under ASC 740 for this matter.
Note P--Concentration of Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions and such balances may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes
it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash
.
Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and generally collateral is not required. The Company's customers operate in the new home construction and home remodeling markets.
The Company maintains an allowance for bad debt based upon management's evaluation and judgment of potential net loss. The allowance is estimated based upon historical experience, the effects of current developments and economic conditions and of each customer’s current and anticipated financial condition. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and updated. Any resulting adjustments to the allowance are reflected in current operating results.
At January 31, 2018, the Company's two largest customers, Customers A and B, represented
31.3%
and
22.0%
of the Company's gross customer receivables, respectively. At April 30, 2017, Customers A and B represented
8.2%
and
20.7%
of the Company’s gross customer receivables, respectively.

Note Q--Other Information
The Company is involved in suits and claims in the normal course of business, including without limitation product liability and general liability claims, and claims pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company consults with its legal counsel to ascertain the reasonable likelihood that such claims may result in a loss. As required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, “Contingencies” (ASC 450), the Company categorizes the various suits and claims into three categories according to their likelihood for resulting in potential loss: those that are probable, those that are reasonably possible, and those that are deemed to be remote. Where losses are deemed to be probable and estimable, accruals are made. Where losses are deemed to be reasonably possible, a range of loss estimates is determined and considered for disclosure. In determining these loss range estimates, the Company considers known values of similar claims and consults with outside counsel.
The Company believes that the aggregate range of loss stemming from the various suits and asserted and unasserted claims that were deemed to be either probable or reasonably possible was not material as of
January 31, 2018
.
Note R--Subsequent Events
On February 12, 2018, the Company issued
$350 million
in aggregate principal amount of
4.875%
Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on March 15, 2026. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2018. The Senior Notes are, and will be, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. The indenture governing the Senior Notes restricts the ability of the Company and the Company’s “restricted subsidiaries” to, as applicable, (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, (ii) create liens, (iii) pay dividends, redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions or restricted payments, (iv) make certain investments, (v) create restrictions on the ability of the “restricted subsidiaries” to pay dividends to the Company or make other intercompany transfers, (vi) transfer or sell assets, (vii) merge or consolidate with a third party and (viii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates of the Company, subject, in each case, to certain qualifications and exceptions as described in the indenture.
Also on February 12, 2018, the Company borrowed the entire
$250 million
available under the Delayed Draw Term Loan. In connection with these borrowings, RSI and its domestic subsidiaries became guarantors of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and pledged substantially all of their respective personal property as security for their obligations under such guarantee.
The Company utilized the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes and borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan, together with cash on hand, to (A) fund (i) the redemption of
$115 million
in aggregate principal amount of the RSI Notes on February 26, 2018 pursuant to a conditional call announced on January 25, 2018, (ii) the purchase of approximately
$449.1 million
in aggregate principal amount of the RSI Notes on February 12, 2018 pursuant to a tender offer that commenced on January 29, 2018 and (iii) the redemption of approximately
$10.9 million
in aggregate principal amount of the RSI Notes on February 28, 2018 pursuant to a make-whole call, and (B) repay
$30 million
of the amount borrowed under the Revolving Facility in connection with the closing of the RSI Acquisition. As a result of these redemptions and the tender offer, none of the RSI Notes remain outstanding.
