CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of statements that include words such as “could,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “likely,” “believe,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project” and other similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements involve estimates and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are based on assumptions that we have made considering our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other important factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many important factors could affect our actual operating and financial performance and cause our performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the following: the potential effects of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on the Company, general economic conditions, demand for our products, changes in consumer preferences, competition within our industry, our reliance on our network of independent dealers, our ability to manage our manufacturing levels and our fixed cost base, the successful introduction of our new products and the other important factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 11, 2020 (our “2020 Annual Report”). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, our actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements.
Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New important factors that could cause our business not to develop as we expect may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.

MASTERCRAFT BOAT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless stated otherwise dollars in thousands, except per share data)
1.ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization — MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) was formed on January 28, 2000, as a Delaware holding company and operates primarily through its wholly owned subsidiaries, MasterCraft Boat Company, LLC; MasterCraft Services, LLC; MasterCraft Parts, Ltd.; and MasterCraft International Sales Administration, Inc. (collectively “MasterCraft”); Nautic Star, LLC and NS Transport, LLC (collectively “NauticStar”); and Crest Marine, LLC (“Crest”). Holdings and its subsidiaries collectively are referred to herein as the “Company.”
Basis of Presentation —
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of October 4, 2020, its results of operations for the three months ended October 4, 2020 and September 29, 2019, its cash flows for the three months ended October 4, 2020 and September 29, 2019, and its statements of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended October 4, 2020 and September 29, 2019. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for financial information have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The June 30, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, management believes that the disclosures in these condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Due to the seasonality of the Company’s business, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the fiscal year.
COVID-19 Pandemic — To balance wholesale production with the then anticipated impacts to retail demand caused by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company reduced production in February 2020 and, in late March 2020, temporarily suspended manufacturing operations at all of the Company’s facilities to protect the health of employees and to comply with governmental mandates. The Company resumed operations at reduced production levels at our manufacturing facilities by mid-May 2020 and the Company continues to ramp up production.
The Company remains subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (including the possibility of a second wave of infections). The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve in many countries, including the United States and other markets where the Company operates. Capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it has caused economic downturns or recessions in the U.S. and other markets where the Company operates. Such economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business as retail demand for our products could decline which would in-turn reduce wholesale demand from the Company’s dealers. Policymakers around the world have responded and may continue to respond with fiscal and monetary policy actions to support the economy. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.
The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the pandemic, the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, the effects of the pandemic on the Company's consumers, dealers, suppliers and workforce, and to the extent
8
normal economic and operating conditions can resume, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company's future results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain or workforce disruptions and uncertain demand, impairment charges, and the impact of any initiatives that the Company may undertake to address financial and operational challenges faced by it and its consumers, dealers, and suppliers. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact the Company's financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations is uncertain.
There were no significant changes in or changes in the application of the Company’s significant or critical accounting policies or estimation procedures for the three months ended October 4, 2020 as compared with the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
New Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes — In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by, among other things, eliminating certain existing exceptions related to the general approach in ASC 740 relating to franchise taxes, reducing complexity in the interim-period accounting for year-to-date loss limitations and changes in tax laws, and clarifying the accounting for transactions outside of business combination that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The transition requirements are primarily prospective, and the effective date is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Fair Value Measurements — In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This guidance modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 by removing disclosures regarding transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, by modifying the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and by requiring additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements, among others. The Company adopted this guidance for its fiscal year beginning
Current Expected Credit Loss — In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which updated the ASC to use an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The Company adopted this guidance for its fiscal year beginning

Performance Stock Units
Performance stock units (“PSUs”) are a form of long-term incentive compensation awarded to executive officers and certain other key employees designed to directly align the interests of employees to the interests of the Company’s stockholders, and to create long-term stockholder value. The awards will be earned based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance criteria over a
performance period. The performance period for the awards commences on July 1 of the fiscal year in which they were granted and continue for a three-year period, ending on June 30 of the applicable year. The probability of achieving the performance criteria is assessed quarterly. Following the determination of the Company’s achievement with respect to the performance criteria, the number of shares awarded is subject to further adjustment based on the application of a total shareholder return (“TSR”) modifier. The grant date fair value is determined based on both the probability assessment of the Company achieving the performance criteria and an estimate of the expected TSR modifier. The TSR modifier estimate is determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation model, which considers the likelihood of numerous possible outcomes of long-term market performance. Compensation expense related to nonvested PSUs is recognized ratably over the performance period.Supplemental PSUs
On July 16, 2020, after consulting with outside compensation advisors and outside legal counsel, reviewing market data and benchmarking expected relative compensation to the market data, the Company’s Compensation Committee made the decision to grant additional PSUs under the Long-term Incentive Plan (“LTIP Program”) to certain of the Company’s officers, (the “Supplemental PSUs”). The “Performance Period” for the Supplemental PSUs is a The Supplemental PSUs were granted to attract and motivate key employees whose existing fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020 PSU grants (the “Existing PSUs”) were unlikely to achieve minimum performance goals due to the unprecedented effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
period commencing July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2022.The number of Supplemental PSUs that a grantee earns for the performance period will be determined by multiplying the target award by the product of (i) the Composite Payout Percentage and (ii) the Relative TSR Modifier. The “Composite Payout Percentage” is calculated based on the Company’s Total Market Share Percentage, Total Consumer Satisfaction Index Percentage and Total Dealer Inventory Turnover Percentage (each as defined in the Supplemental PSU Award Agreement). Following the determination of the Company’s achievement with respect to the Composite Payout Percentage over the Performance Period, the vesting of each award will be subject to adjustment based upon the application of a Relative TSR Modifier. The Supplemental PSUs are capped at

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, the statements in this discussion and analysis regarding our expectations concerning the performance of our business, anticipated financial results, liquidity and the other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above and in “Risk Factors” set forth in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
Certain statements in the following discussions are based on non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and statistical measures. The Company includes non-GAAP financial measures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as the Company’s management believes that these measures and the information they provide are useful to users of the financial statements, including investors, because they permit users of the financial statements to view the Company’s performance using the same tools that management utilizes and to better evaluate the Company’s ongoing business performance. In order to better align the Company’s reported results with the internal metrics used by the Company's management to evaluate business performance as well as to provide better comparisons to prior periods and peer data, non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization related to business acquisitions.
COVID-19 Pandemic
We continue to be subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the COVID-19 pandemic is still evolving in many countries, including the United States and other markets where we operate.
Impact to Operations
To balance wholesale production with the anticipated impacts to retail demand caused by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we reduced production in February 2020 and, in late March 2020, temporarily suspended manufacturing operations at all of our facilities to protect the health of our employees and comply with governmental mandates. We resumed operations at reduced production levels at our manufacturing facilities by mid-May 2020 and we continue to ramp up production.
MasterCraft, NauticStar and Crest each achieved a steady increase in production during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Although all of our segments made progress, NauticStar’s performance lagged behind our other brands during the first quarter. In August 2020, we announced that Scott Womack had been named President of NauticStar. We believe NauticStar will greatly benefit from Mr. Womack’s years of executive leadership, manufacturing experience and proven dedication to operational excellence.
Impact to Liquidity and Capital Resources
During March 2020, we drew $35.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, on May 7, 2020, we entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) to the Fourth Amended & Restated Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) to strengthen our financial flexibility. Among other things, the changes effected by the
17
Amendment provide temporary relief under our financial covenants. See Note 6 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding these changes. The performance of the business and our cash management activities provided the flexibility to repay the entire Revolving Credit Facility as of October 4, 2020. As of October 4, 2020, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Amendment to the Credit Facility.
Outlook
We believe strong marine retail demand, coupled with abnormally low retail inventory levels for all our brands have created a growth opportunity for fiscal 2021 and potentially into future years. We continue to ramp up production at our facilities and we expect this ramp up phase to continue through fiscal 2021 in order to meet strong wholesale demand as our dealers seek to satisfy current retail order flow and replenish their stock inventory. As we navigate the unprecedented confluence of demand and disruption precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, our production during this ramp up period will depend, in large part, on our suppliers’ capacity. Additionally, our ability to grow and retain a high-performing workforce will be critical to meeting our production objectives.
Although the consumer responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have thus far resulted in strong demand for our products, significant uncertainty exists in the economy as a result of the unpredictable outlook for the COVID-19 pandemic. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is uncertain and will depend on a number of factors, including, the duration, spread and severity, the remedial action and stimulus measures adopted by local, state and federal governments, the effects of the pandemic on our consumers, dealers, suppliers and workforce, and the extent to which normal economic and operating conditions can resume and be sustained within the general economy. Our future results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain or workforce disruptions and uncertain demand, additional manufacturing suspensions, additional other intangible asset impairment charges, and the impact of any initiatives that we may undertake to address financial and operational challenges faced by us and our consumers, dealers, and suppliers.
Overview of Results of Operations
Net sales were $103.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, which represented a decrease of 5.5 percent as compared to the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes as we continue to ramp up production at each of our segments. Partially offsetting the impact of lower volumes was lower dealer incentives, a favorable mix of higher-priced and higher-contented models, and higher parts sales volume for MasterCraft and Crest.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 increased 2.7 percent, primarily due to lower dealer incentives, higher prices, favorable model mix, and higher parts sales volume at MasterCraft and Crest. These increases were partially offset by lower unit sales volume for each reportable segment and higher labor costs at MasterCraft and NauticStar. Gross margin increased by 200 basis points to 25.3 percent for the first quarter of 2021 from 23.3 percent for the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to lower dealer incentives and materials costs as a percentage of sales, partially offset by lower overhead absorption driven by lower sales volume and higher labor costs as a percentage of sales.
Net income was $9.6 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to Net income of $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2020. Diluted earnings per share was $0.51, compared to diluted net income per share of $0.46 for the prior year period.
Merritt Island Facility Purchase
On August 13, 2020, we entered into an agreement to purchase certain real property located in Merritt Island, Florida, including an approximately 140,000 sq. ft. boat manufacturing facility, (the “Merritt Island Facility”). On October 26, 2020 we completed this purchase for a total cost of $14.2 million. We are expanding our overall boat building capacity by moving all Aviara production to the Merritt Island Facility. While we believe this additional capacity will help facilitate Aviara’s long-term growth, importantly, we also believe that removing Aviara production from our Vonore, Tennessee facility will allow for an immediate increase in capacity and productivity for our MasterCraft brand. The transition of Aviara’s production has already begun and we expect to begin producing Aviara in the Merritt Island Facility by early third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Three Months Ended October 4, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 29, 2019
Net Sales. Net Sales for the first quarter were $103.7 million, a decrease of $6.0 million, or 5.5 percent, compared to $109.8 million for the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to:
|
• |
a $5.7 million decrease for the NauticStar segment primarily due to primarily due to lower sales volume, as NauticStar continues to ramp up production, |
|
• |
an $0.8 million decrease for the Crest segment primarily due to lower sales volume, as Crest continues to ramp up production, partially offset by favorable mix and higher-priced models, and |
19
|
• |
a $0.5 million increase for the MasterCraft segment, as the impact of lower sales volume associated with our continued production ramp up was offset by lower dealer incentives, a favorable mix of higher-priced and higher-contented models, and higher parts sales volume. |
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit increased $0.7 million, or 2.7 percent, to $26.2 million compared to $25.5 million for the prior-year period. The increase was primarily a result of higher prices, lower dealer incentives and higher parts revenue at MasterCraft and Crest and favorable model and options mix at MasterCraft. These increases were partially offset by lower unit sales volume for each reportable segment and higher labor costs at MasterCraft and NauticStar. We expect to continue to realize higher labor costs for the full fiscal year due to changes, implemented in the first quarter, to our production employee compensation package at MasterCraft.
Gross margin increased primarily due to lower dealer incentives and materials costs as a percentage of sales, and higher prices, partially offset by lower overhead absorption driven by lower sales volume and higher labor costs as a percentage of sales.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were flat compared to the prior-year period as lower Selling and marketing costs, primarily due to timing of anticipated marketing spend within the year, were offset by higher General and administrative expenses, primarily driven by additional spend related to product development and variable compensation costs.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $0.3 million, or 24.2 percent primarily due to lower effective interest rates and lower average outstanding debt balances during the quarter compared to the prior-year period.
Income Tax Expense. Our consolidated interim effective income tax rate decreased to 22.8 percent for the first quarter of 2021 from 24.0 percent for first quarter of 2020.
Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate certain non-cash charges or other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations. For the periods presented herein, these adjustments include Aviara transition costs and Aviara (new brand) startup costs, and non-cash share-based compensation. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of Net sales.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share
We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share as net income adjusted to eliminate certain non-cash charges or other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations and adjusted for the impact to income tax expense (benefit) related to non-GAAP adjustments. For the periods presented herein, these adjustments include Aviara transition costs, Aviara (new brand) startup costs, and certain non-cash items including other intangible asset amortization and share-based compensation.
20
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share, which we refer to collectively as the Non-GAAP Measures, are not measures of net income or operating income as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The Non-GAAP Measures are not measures of performance in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net income per share, or operating cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of cash flow. We believe that the inclusion of the Non-GAAP Measures is appropriate to provide additional information to investors because securities analysts and investors use the Non-GAAP Measures to assess our operating performance across periods on a consistent basis and to evaluate the relative risk of an investment in our securities. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than does U.S. GAAP measures alone. We believe Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share assists our board of directors, management, investors, and other users of the financial statements in comparing our net income on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes certain non-cash items and other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations and adjusts for the impact to income tax expense (benefit) related to non-GAAP adjustments. The Non-GAAP Measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
|
• |
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or any cash requirements to pay income taxes; |
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness; and |
|
• |
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we do not consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations, but may nonetheless have a material impact on our results of operations. |
In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including companies in our industry.

Change in Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Prior to fiscal year-end 2020, the Company’s calculation of a diluted per share amount of Adjusted Net Income included an adjustment to fully dilute this non-GAAP measure for all outstanding share-based compensation grants. This additional dilution was incorporated by adjusting the GAAP measure, Weighted Average Shares Used for the Computation of Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, to include a dilutive effect for all outstanding RSAs, PSUs, and stock options. Beginning with the fiscal year-end 2020 presentation and for all subsequent periods, the Company will no longer include this additional dilution impact in its calculation of Adjusted Net Income per diluted share. The Company has instead utilized the Weighted Average Shares Used for the Computation of Basic and Diluted earnings per share as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations to calculate Adjusted Net Income per diluted share for all periods presented herein.
The Company believes that, because its outstanding share-based compensation grants no longer result in a material amount of dilution of its earnings as was the case nearer to the date of our IPO, the adjustment methodology previously used no longer provides meaningful information to management or other users of its financial statements. This change resulted in an increase of $0.01 in the three months ended September 29, 2019 in the amount of Adjusted Net Income per diluted share from what was previously reported.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity and capital resource needs are to finance working capital, fund capital expenditures, and service our debt. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash balance, cash generated from operating activities, our Revolving Credit Facility and the refinancing and/or new issuance of long-term debt. As of October 4, 2020, we had a cash balance of $8.9 million in addition to $35.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. During October 2020, the Company completed the purchase of the Merritt Island, Florida for a total cost of $14.2 million. See Note 11 in Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this transaction.
We believe our cash balance, cash from operations, and availability under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to provide for our liquidity and capital resource needs. However, we are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, dealers, consumers and industry as a whole. The following table summarizes the cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities:

Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to higher operating income partially offset by additional working capital usage. Working capital is defined as Accounts receivable, Income tax receivable, Inventories, and Prepaid expenses and other current assets net of Accounts payable, Income tax payable, and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities as presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows from working capital changes were generally flat compared to the prior year quarter and included:
|
• |
a $10.1 million decrease related to Accounts receivable primarily due to a larger increase in receivables during first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2020 driven by relative sales volumes improvement and the impact of an improved Crest collection cycle during the first quarter of fiscal 2020; |
|
• |
a $3.5 million decrease attributable to Inventories mainly as a result of an increase in raw materials and work-in-process driven by increasing production during the first quarter of fiscal 2021; |
|
• |
a $5.7 million increase attributable to Accounts payable driven by increasing production during the first quarter of fiscal 2021; |
|
• |
a $5.0 million increase related to Accrued expenses and other current liabilities largely from lower cash used for variable compensation and dealer incentives for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020; and |
|
• |
a $3.0 million increase related to Income tax activity as overpayments from fiscal 2020 were used to reduce cash requirements for income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. |
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $2.3 million primarily due to lower capital expenditures.
Financing cash flow decreased primarily as the result of higher repayments of debt during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The Company repaid $10.0 million on its Revolving Credit Facility and $2.4 million of scheduled principal repayments on its term loans during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company had no principal repayments on long-term
24
debt during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 due to the Company’s fiscal quarter ending on September 29, 2019, prior to the scheduled quarterly principal repayment due on September 30, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company did not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements as of October 4, 2020.
Emerging Growth Company
We are currently an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. We will continue to be an emerging growth company until June 30, 2021, which is the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of completion of our initial public offering. As a result, beginning with our annual reporting requirements related to fiscal 2021, we may no longer take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding stockholder advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and stockholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.
The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can utilize the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, we have irrevocably chosen to opt out of such extended transition period and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for companies that are not “emerging growth companies.”
Critical Accounting Policies

RECITALS:
Seller desires to sell to Buyer and Buyer desires to purchase from Seller on the terms and conditions set forth herein, that certain real property consisting of approximately thirty eight (38) acres of land known as 1200-1230 Nautical Way, Merritt Island, FL 32952 and as more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes (“Land”), together will all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to (i) all rights, benefits, permits, entitlements, development rights, privileges, easements, tenements, hereditaments, and appurtenances belonging or appertaining thereto, (ii) all improvements located on the Land, and (iii) all assignable licenses, authorizations, approvals, development rights and permits issued by any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities specifically relating to the operation, ownership, use occupancy or maintenance of the Land, including, without limitation, all rights and interest of Seller to any and all water and sewer taps, wastewater, sanitary and storm sewer capacity or reservations and rights under utility agreements with any applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authority specifically attributable to the Land (collectively, the “Property”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Purchase and Sale. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall sell to Buyer and Buyer shall purchase from Seller the Property
2.Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Property shall be FOURTEEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($14,000,000.00) ("Purchase Price").
3.Deposit.
(a)Within three (3) business days following the Effective Date of this Agreement, Buyer shall deliver to Cantwell & Goldman, P.A., Trust Account, Attn: Mitch Goldman ("Title Company”), by wire transfer, the amount of FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) ("Initial Deposit").
(b) On or before three (3) business days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period set forth in Section 4 below, Buyer shall deliver to Title Company, by wire transfer, the additional amount of FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) ("Additional Deposit").
1796689v8
(c) The Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit shall collectively be referred to as the “Deposits”.
4.Due Diligence Period. Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. (EST) on the date which is sixty (60) days after the Effective Date (“Due Diligence Period”) in which to conduct its due diligence and all inquiries and investigations with respect to the Property as may be determined by Buyer in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense. If Buyer fails to provide written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the parties agree that this Agreement may thereafter only be cancelled by Buyer upon a default by Seller hereunder and Buyer shall be obligated to proceed to Closing (as defined herein), any and all contingencies to Closing shall be deemed to be waived by Buyer hereunder and the Deposits shall be non-refundable except in case of Seller’s default hereunder. During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer and its officers, employees, agents, advisors, accountants, attorneys and engineers shall have the right to enter upon the Property at reasonable times after written notice to Seller for purposes of inspection and examination of the Property (including environmental testing) and otherwise perform whatever tasks reasonably necessary or deemed appropriate by Buyer in its sole discretion. Buyer covenants and agrees that it will not materially disrupt or interfere with any tenants (including their use and/or enjoyment of the Property) or Seller’s operations of the Property during such inspections and investigations thereof.
At any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all liabilities and obligations under this Agreement except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary. Within five (5) business days of any termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall return to Seller all reports and other information that Seller provided Buyer for purposes of conducting its due diligence. Failure of Buyer to deliver notice of termination to Seller prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall constitute Buyer's acceptance of the Property and a waiver of Buyer's right to terminate pursuant to this Section 4.
Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Buyer, for information purposes only, those documents and agreements listed on Exhibit “B” in Seller’s actual possession and/or control, including but not limited to any leases, with any and all amendments, assignments or extensions, surveys, reports, studies, construction documents, permit and approvals and environmental studies or reports (collectively, the “Property Information”). Buyer agrees to keep all Property Information confidential except as may be required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable law and as may be provided to Buyer’s third-party professionals for purposes of evaluating the Property Information. Seller will also provide within the first thirty (30) days of this period a list of the Personal Property which will not be conveyed at Closing, as it is owned by the current tenant, Mattihas Enterprises Ltd. (“Mattihas”).
Buyer shall defend and indemnify Seller and its respective employees, agents, partners, members, managers, affiliates, subsidiaries, contractors, attorneys, officers, directors, tenants and invitees (collectively, the "Seller's Affiliates"), and hold same harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including,
2
1796689v8
without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) (collectively “Claims”) suffered or incurred by same and arising out of or in connection with: (i) the entry upon the Property by Buyer and/or Buyer's representatives, including but not limited to any bodily injury or death of any person or property damage arising out of or in conjunction with same, except for any Claims caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Seller; (ii) any activities conducted thereon by Buyer and/or Buyer's representatives, except for any Claims caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Seller; (iii) any liens or encumbrances filed or recorded against the Property or any portion thereof, or any other property of Seller or of Seller's Affiliates, as a consequence of activities undertaken by Buyer and/or Buyer's representatives. The provisions of this section shall survive termination and Closing (as defined herein).
The parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer has a major credit facility with Fifth Third Bank, as lender and as agent for other lenders (the “Lender”), and that Buyer may not be able to obtain all of the necessary approvals of the Lender (which may require additional due diligence work) for the consummation of the transactions set forth herein (collectively the “Lender Approvals”) within the initial sixty (60) day Due Diligence Period. As a result, the parties further agree that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, in the event that Buyer, despite its exercise of due diligence and commercially reasonable efforts, is not able to obtain all of the Lender Approvals within the initial sixty (60) day Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to extend the Due Diligence Period for a period of thirty (30) days (the “Due Diligence Extension”) upon written notice to Seller prior to expiration of the initial sixty (60) day Due Diligence Period solely for the purpose of obtaining the Lender Approvals. In the event Buyer exercises the Due Diligence Extension, within three (3) business days following its exercise of the extension, Buyer shall deliver to Title Company, by wire transfer, an additional earnest money deposit of TWENTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($20,000.00) ("Extension Deposit"), which shall be applied to the Purchase Price at closing and shall be non-refundable to Buyer in the event closing does not occur for any reason other than a default by Seller. In the event that Buyer is not able to obtain all of the necessary Lender Approvals during the Due Diligence Extension, Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Extension, in which event the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, the Extension Deposit shall be paid to Seller, and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all liabilities and obligations under this Agreement except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary.
5.Title and Title Insurance. Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall obtain and provide Buyer with a copy of an owner's title insurance commitment ("Commitment") issued by Title Company. Title Company shall issue to Buyer, upon the recording of the deed to the Property, an owner's title insurance policy in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring, upon Closing, the marketability of the fee title of Buyer to the Property. The cost of the Commitment and owner’s title insurance policy shall be paid by Seller.
Buyer shall have ten (10) business days after receipt to review the Commitment. In the event the Commitment shall show as an exception any matter which renders title to the Property unmarketable in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, or which would materially interfere with or impair Buyer’s intended use of the Property in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, Buyer shall, prior to the expiration of said ten (10) day period, notify Seller in writing of Buyer's objection thereto. Should Buyer fail to give written notice of objection strictly in accordance with this provision, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted title to the Property as evidenced by the
3
1796689v8
Commitment. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of any timely-made written title objection from Buyer, Seller shall notify Buyer whether Seller elects to cure such title defect. If Seller elects not to cure such title defect, then Buyer shall, by written notice given to Seller within five (5) business days after receipt of the notice from Seller, either (a) agree to accept title to the Property as it then exists, or (b) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller, with a copy to Title Company, in which event, provided Buyer is not in default under this Agreement, Title Company shall refund the Initial Deposit to Buyer, and the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder except for: (i) obligations under any provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, is to survive the termination of this Agreement; and (ii) Buyer's indemnity obligations under this Agreement. Should Buyer fail to give written notice to Seller within said five (5) day period of its election to proceed pursuant to either (a) or (b) of this section, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed pursuant to (a) of this section. If Seller elects to attempt to cure any title defect, then Seller shall use good faith efforts to cure such title defect but shall not be obligated to bring any legal action whatsoever and Seller shall be entitled to thirty (30) business days from the date of notification to Buyer within which to cure such defects. If the defect(s) shall not have been so cured at the expiration of the thirty (30) day period, Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be either to: (i) agree to accept title to the Property as it then exists without reduction in the Purchase Price; or (ii) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller, with a copy to Title Company, in which event, provided Buyer is not in default under this Agreement, Title Company shall refund the Deposits to Buyer and the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder except for Buyer's indemnity obligations under this Agreement and the parties obligations under any provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, is to survive the termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to accept title to the Property as it then exists and to proceed with its purchase of the Property without a reduction in the Purchase Price unless it shall give written notice of termination within five (5) business days following the expiration of said thirty (30) day period.
6.Survey. Prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to obtain, at its sole cost and expense, a survey (or any updated survey) with respect to the Property prepared by a land surveyor registered and licensed in the State of Florida ("Survey").
