VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION
Notes to unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
July 31, 2024
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024 ("Form 10-K"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and six months ended July 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025. The balance sheet at January 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. All references to the "Company" refer to Virco Mfg. Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Note 2. Seasonality and Management Use of Estimates
The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality, with approximately 50% of the Company's total sales typically occurring from June to August each year, the Company's peak season. Hence, the Company typically builds and carries significant amounts of inventory during and in anticipation of this peak summer season to facilitate the rapid delivery requirements of customers in the educational market. This requires a large up-front investment in inventory, labor, storage and related costs as inventory is built in anticipation of peak sales during the summer months. As the capital required for this build-up generally exceeds cash available from operations, the Company has generally relied on third-party bank financing to meet cash flow requirements during the build-up period immediately preceding the peak season. In addition, the Company typically is faced with an overall higher accounts receivable balance during the peak season. This occurs for two primary reasons. First, accounts receivable balances typically increase during the peak season as shipments of products increase. Second, many customers during this period are educational institutions and government entities, which tend to pay accounts receivable slower than commercial customers.
The Company's working capital requirements during and in anticipation of the peak summer season require management to make estimates and judgments that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to market demand, labor costs and stocking inventory. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, valuation of inventory; deferred tax assets and liabilities; useful lives of property, plant and equipment; liabilities under pension, warranty and self-insurance; and the accounts receivable allowance for credit losses.
Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued this ASU to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued this ASU which expands disclosures in an entity's income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We do not expect that this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
The Company evaluates all ASUs issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") for consideration of their applicability to our condensed consolidated financial statements. We have assessed all ASUs issued but not yet adopted and concluded that those not disclosed are notrelevant tothe Company or are not expected to have a material impact.

Note 4. Revenue Recognition
The Company manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of school and office furniture to wholesalers, distributors, educational institutions and governmental entities. Revenue is recorded for promised goods or services when control is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company's sales generally involve a single performance obligation to deliver goods pursuant to customer purchase orders. Prices for our products are based on published price lists and customer agreements. The Company has determined that the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time when the Company completes delivery per the customer contract. The majority of sales are free on board ("FOB") destination where the destination is specified per the customer contract and may include delivering the furniture into the classroom, school site or warehouse. Sales of furniture that are sold FOB factory are typically made to resellers of our product who in turn provide logistics to the ultimate customer. Once a product has been delivered per the shipping terms, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery in accordance with shipping terms because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.
Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. The Company offers sales incentives and discounts through various regional and national programs to our customers. These programs include product rebates, product returns allowances and trade promotions. Variable consideration for these programs is estimated in the transaction price at contract inception based on current sales levels and historical experience using the expected value method, subject to constraint.
The Company generates revenue primarily by manufacturing and distributing products through resellers and direct-to-customers. Control transfers to both resellers and direct customers at a point in time when the delivery process is complete as determined by the corresponding shipping terms. Therefore, we do not consider them to be meaningfully different revenue streams given similarities in the nature of the products, performance obligation and distribution processes. Sales are predominately in the United States and to a similar class of customer. We do not manage or evaluate the business based on product line or any other discernable category.
Note 5. Inventories
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value (determined on a first-in, first-out basis ("FIFO")) and includes material, labor, and factory overhead. The Company records valuation adjustments for the excess cost of the inventory over its estimated net realizable value. Valuation adjustments for slow-moving and obsolete inventory involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Valuation adjustments for slow-moving and obsolete inventory are calculated using an estimated percentage applied to inventories based on a physical inspection of the product in connection with a physical inventory, a review of slow-moving products and component stage, inventory category, historical and forecasted consumption of sales, and consideration of active marketing programs. The market for educational furniture is traditionally driven by value, not style, and the Company has not typically incurred material obsolescence expenses. If market conditions are less favorable than those anticipated by management, additional valuation adjustments may be required. The Company records the cost of excess capacity as a period expense, not as a component of capitalized inventory valuation.
The following table presents a breakdown of the Company's inventories as of July 31, 2024, January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023:

Note 6. Leases
The Company has operating leases on real property, equipment, and automobiles, expiring at various dates through the fiscal year 2031. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and assesses classification of the lease at commencement. The Company's lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease only when it is reasonably certain that we exercise that option. All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable, or the incremental borrowing rate. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments using Company specific credit spreads. The Company's lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease only when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has an operating lease for its corporate office and manufacturing and distribution facility located in Torrance, California, currently with a remaining lease term through September 2030. The Company leases equipment under a 5-year operating lease arrangement. The Company has the option of buying the assets at the end of the lease period at a price that does not result in the Company being reasonably certain of exercising the option. In addition, the Company leases trucks and automobiles under operating leases that include certain fleet management and maintenance services. Certain of the leases contain renewal or purchase options and require payment for property taxes and insurance. The Company records lease expense on a straight-line basis based on the contractual lease payments. The Company recognizes the present value of the future lease commitments as an operating lease liability, and a corresponding right-of-use asset ("ROU asset"), net of tenant allowances. Tenant improvements and related tenant allowances are recorded as a reduction to the ROU asset. The Company elected to account for leases with an original term of 12 months or less that do not contain a purchase option as short-term leases. Additionally, certain of the leases provide for variable payment for property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance payments, among others. The Company recognizes variable lease expenses for these leases in the period incurred. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

(a) On July 23, 2024, the Company entered into a new lease agreement (the "Lease") with Starboard Distribution Center, LLC which extends the Company's tenancy at its 560,000 sq. ft. office, manufacturing and warehouse facility in Torrance, California. The Lease extends the tenancy for 65 months, covering the period from May 1, 2025 through September 30, 2030. Under the Lease, the monthly base rent will be abated for the initial 5-month period from May 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, then is set at $726,700 for October 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026, with subsequent increases of 3.5% every 12 months thereafter. The Lease also provides for a tenant improvement allowance of up to $1.7 million. The Landlord has the right to terminate the Lease upon customary events of default. In connection with this lease agreement, in the second quarter ended July 31, 2024, the Company recorded approximately $33.0 million (the present value of the future lease commitments) as an operating lease liability, and a corresponding ROU asset.

The Company and Virco Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the "Borrowers") have a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender ("PNC"). The Credit Agreement was amended numerous times since its origination in December 2011, most recently on April 29, 2024.
The Credit Agreement as currently in effect permits the Company to issue cash dividends or make payments with respect to the Company's capital stock in an aggregate amount up to $5.0 million during any fiscal year, provided that no default shall have occurred or is continuing or would result from any such payment, and the Company must demonstrate pro forma compliance with a 12-month trailing fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.20:1.00 as of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of any such dividend or payment. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge
15
coverage ratio, and contains numerous other covenants that limit under certain circumstances the ability of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, incur new liens, incur additional indebtedness, sell assets outside of the ordinary course of business, enter into transactions with affiliates, or substantially change the general nature of the business of the Borrowers.
In addition to the financial covenants, the Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default, subject to certain cure periods and other limitations. Substantially all of the Borrowers' accounts receivable are automatically and promptly swept to repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement upon receipt by the Borrowers. Due to this automatic liquidating nature of the Credit Agreement, if the Borrowers breach any covenant, violate any representation or warranty or suffer a deterioration in their ability to borrow pursuant to the borrowing base calculation, the Borrowers may not have access to cash liquidity unless provided by PNC at its discretion.
The other material terms of the Credit Agreement as currently in effect include the following: (i) a revolving line of credit with a Maximum Revolving Advance Amount of $60.0 million (increasing to $70.0 million during the months of June
through August 2024) that is subject to a borrowing base limitation and generally provides for advances of up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus a percentage equal to the lesser of 60% of the value of eligible inventory or 85% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus $15.0 million from January through July of each year, minus undrawn amounts of letters of credit and reserves; (ii) inventory sublimit of $35.0 million and assemble-to-ship (ATS) inventory sublimit of $15.0 million during the months of May through August 2024; and (iii) an equipment loan of $2.0 million. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers' personal property and certain of the Borrowers' real property. The Credit Agreement is subject to certain prepayment penalties upon early termination of the Credit Agreement. Prior to the maturity date, principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at the option of the Borrowers without premium or penalty, subject to borrowing base limitations, seasonal adjustments and certain other conditions, including reduced borrowings under the revolving line to less than or equal $10.0 million for a period of 30 consecutive days during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including covenants requiring a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and limits on capital expenditures. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of July 31, 2024.
The Company's revolving line of credit with PNC is structured to provide seasonal credit availability during the Company's peak summer season. Approximately $68.0 million was available for borrowing as of July 31, 2024. The interest rate is determined as a sum of the applicable margin rate, which is 3.00% from January through July and 2.50% from August through December, plus the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The Company did not have an outstanding amount under this note as of July 31, 2024. The Company also incurs a fee on the unused portion of the revolving line of credit at a rate of 0.375%.
The Company also carries a mortgage on a manufacturing building in Conway Arkansas. The original note was dated August 2017 for $5.8 million, at a fixed rate of 4.0% per year and 20-year term. The outstanding amount under this note was $4.3 million as of July 31, 2024.
On April 29, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement ("Amendment No. 4") with PNC. Amendment No.4 amended the Credit Agreement to reflect the following material changes:
i.Maximum size of the PNC line of credit has been lowered from $72.5 million to $70.0 million during the months of June through August, and
ii.Maximum amount allowed for the Company to issue dividends or repurchase stock has been increased from $3.0 million to $5.0 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year.
Management believes that the carrying value of debt approximated fair value at July 31, 2024, as all of the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates based on prevailing market conditions, except mortgage on a manufacturing building in Conway Arkansas at a fixed rate of 4.0% per year.
Note 8. Income Taxes
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. As a part of this evaluation, the Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, the availability of tax
16
carrybacks, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, to determine whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize existing deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances of $218,000, $251,000 and $390,000 as of July 31, 2024, January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively, are needed for federal deferred tax assets and certain state net operating loss carryforwards to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The net change in the valuation allowance for the three months and six months ended July 31, 2024 was an increase of $1,000 and a decrease of $33,000, respectively. The net change in the valuation allowance for the three months and six months ended July 31, 2023 was a decrease of $185,000 and a decrease of $474,000, respectively.
For the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the effective income tax rates were 23.7% and 23.6%, respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the effective income tax rates were 23.9% and 23.6%, respectively. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes.
The January 31, 2019 and subsequent fiscal years remain open for examination by the IRS and state tax authorities. The Company is not currently under any state examination.

Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Incentive Plan
Under the Company's 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan"), the Company may grant an aggregate of up to 1,000,000 shares to its employees and non-employee directors in the form of restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and stock options. Restricted stock units and awards granted under the 2019 Plan are expensed ratably over the vesting period of the units and awards. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock units or awards and related compensation expense as the difference between the market value of the units or awards on the date of grant less the exercise price of the units or awards granted. During the three-month and six-month period ended July 31, 2024, the Company granted 16,066 awards, vested 164,110 shares according to their terms and forfeited 0 shares under the 2019 Plan. As of July 31, 2024, there were approximately 521,859 shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan.
The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units and awards recognized in the Company's statements of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023:

Note 12. Warranty Accrual
Effective February 1, 2014, the Company modified its warranty to a limited lifetime warranty. The warranty was effective February 1, 2014, and is not anticipated to have a significant effect on warranty expense. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company modified the standard warranty offered on products sold after January 1, 2017 to provide specific warranty periods by product component, with no warranty period longer than ten years. The Company's warranty is not a guarantee of service life, which depends upon events outside the Company's control and may be different from the warranty period. The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty claims based upon both product sales data and an analysis of actual warranty claims incurred.

$0.025 on each outstanding share of common stock. The dividend is payable on October 11, 2024 to stockholders of record of the common stock as of the close of business on September 20, 2024. While the Company currently intends to pay future dividends on a quarterly basis, following review and approval by the Board of Directors, the declaration and payment of future dividends, as well as the amounts thereof, are subject to the discretion of the Board as well as restrictive covenants in the Company's lending agreements. There can be no assurance that the Company will declare and pay dividends in future periods.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Overview
The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality. Typically, the Company has highly seasonal annual cycle where approximately 50% of sales occur in June, July and August. Orders received from customers follow a similar seasonal cycle, with the bulk of orders arriving approximately 4-6 weeks preceding the selling season.
The Company has received and filled a large series of orders funded by the United States Department of Education that were shipped during the first quarter of 2024 rather than during the traditional peak of June through August. Approximately $9 million of the first quarter's increase in sales compared to the same quarter in the prior year were attributable to these orders. The Company shipped approximately $4.0 million related to this order in the second quarter. The Company believes that it will receive and deliver additional related orders during the third and fourth quarters of the current year. These orders materially and positively impacted first and second quarter comparisons to the same periods in the prior year. In addition to impacting the relative portion of revenue recognized in the first and second quarters, quarterly fluctuations in inventory, accounts receivable, and operating cash flows were positively impacted.
With the exception of this one event for the six-month period ended July 31, 2024, management believes that the traditional seasonal cycle and the Company's ability to service that seasonal cycle has returned to normal. During the three-month period ended April 30, 2024, the Company experienced a 7.6% increase in orders compared to the same period last year. During the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, the Company experienced a 5.3% increase in orders compared to the same period last year. For the six-month period ended July 31, 2024 the Company experienced a 6.4% increase in orders compared to the same period last year.
Due to improved delivery performance in the year ended January 31, 2024 compared to the same period last year, the Company began the current year with a sales order backlog that was approximately $10 million less than the same period last year. The combination of a smaller beginning backlog and an increase in sales for the first six months resulted in a reduced sales order backlog at July 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year despite an increase in sales orders for the current year. Order backlog at July 31, 2024 declined to approximately $61.3 million compared to $74.0 million in the prior year.
The combination of materially improved profitability in the last six months of the prior year and first six months of fiscal 2025 along with muted seasonality due to the order discussed above contributed to material changes in the Company's balance sheet at July 31, 2024 compared to the same period last year. As a result of after-tax profits earned during the last 12 months, the Company has approximately $25.5 million of additional stockholders' equity on July 31, 2024 compared to the same date last year, including reductions in equity for cash dividends paid in both the first and second quarters and stock repurchases during the first quarter. Because the Company shipped a larger than typical portion of deliveries in the first quarter, the Company shipped inventory earlier in the year and did not have as much seasonal inventory at July 31, 2024 compared to the same period last year. Finally, because the year-to-date increase in revenue was primarily in the first quarter, and receivables were collected more efficiently in the second quarter, accounts receivable decreased by approximately $12.5 million compared to the same date last year. The combination of these events resulted in the Company having increased cash and no borrowings under its line of credit on July 31, 2024 compared to borrowing of approximately $42.0 million under its line of credit at July 31, 2023. Management believes that this is the first time in the 74-year history of the Company that it has had no bank debt at the end of the second quarter.
The final material change in the balance sheet relates to a 5-year lease renewal for the Company's facility in Torrance, CA that was executed on July 23, 2024. This facility houses the Company's principal executive offices, and manufacturing and distribution for the western United States. This lease renewal resulted in an increase in ROU Assets of approximately $33.0 million and a related increase in long and short term lease liabilities of a comparable amount.
Three Months Ended July 31, 2024
For the three months ended July 31, 2024, the Company earned pre-tax income of $22.1 million on sales of $108.4 million compared to a pre-tax income of $20.3 million on sales of 107.3 million in the prior year.
20
Sales for the second quarter increased by approximately $1.1 million or 1.0% compared to the same period prior year. The increase was affected by the timing of shipments, as the Company delivered a larger than expected portion of sales orders in the first quarter ended April 30, 2024.
Gross margin for the second quarter ended July 31, 2024 was 46.3% compared to 45.3% in the prior year. The increase in margin was attributable to relatively stable commodity costs, increased levels of production, and product mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2024 increased by approximately $1.0 million and by 0.7% of sales compared to the same period last year. The increase was attributable to increased variable selling and service expenses.
Interest expense decreased by $0.8 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024 compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the amount borrowed in 2024 to finance seasonal working capital.
For the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the effective income tax rates were 23.7% and 23.6%, respectively.
Six Months Ended July 31, 2024
For the six-month period ended July 31, 2024 the Company earned a pre-tax profit of $24.9 million on sales of $155.2 million compared to a pre-tax profit of $18.4 million on sales of $142.3 million in the prior year. Sales increased by approximately $12.9 million or 9.1% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was attributable to an increase in volume and product mix.
Gross Margin for the first six months ended July 31, 2024 was 45.5% compared to 43.4% in the prior year. The margin was affected by increased production levels combined with relatively stable costs for raw materials.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2024 increased by approximately $3.9 million compared to the same period last year and increased by 0.1% as a percentage of sales. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to increased variable selling and service expenses.
Interest expense decreased by $1.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to an decrease in the amount borrowed in 2024 to finance seasonal working capital.
For the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, the effective income tax rates were 23.9% and 23.6%, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The market for education furniture is extremely seasonal and approximately 50% of the Company's annual sales volume is shipped in the months of June through August of each year. The Company traditionally manufactures large quantities of inventory during the first and second quarters of each fiscal year in anticipation of seasonally high summer shipments. In addition, the Company finances a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season.
Accounts Receivable decreased by $12.5 million at July 31, 2024 compared to the same period last year. The decrease is attributable to earlier than normal shipments (as discussed above under "Overview") and improved collections.
Inventory decreased by $13.3 million at July 31, 2024 compared to July 31, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to increased shipments during the early part of the year and inventory management in response to the order backlog at July 31, 2024.
Accrual basis capital expenditures for the six months ended July 31, 2024 were $3.1 million compared to $3.2 million for the same period last year. Capital expenditures are being financed through the Company's credit facility with PNC Bank and operating cash flow and restricted to not exceed $8.0 million per year by covenant.
Based on the Company's current projections, raw material costs and its ability to introduce price increases, management believes it will maintain compliance with its financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, although risks and uncertainties remain, such as changes in economic conditions, changing raw material costs and supply chain challenges. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of July 31, 2024.
21
The Company believes that cash flows from operations, together with the Company's unused borrowing capacity with PNC Bank will be sufficient to fund the Company's debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next twelve months.

PART II - Other Information
Virco Mfg. Corporation
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business which, in the opinion of the Company, are not material in that management either expects that the Company will be successful on the merits of the pending cases or that any liabilities resulting from such cases will be substantially covered by insurance. While it is impossible to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these actions, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities will not be material to the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.
