NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
Note (1) - General: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EVI Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X related to interim period financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include certain information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are necessary in order to state fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position, shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The June 30, 2021 balance sheet information contained herein was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and assumptions made may not prove to be correct, and actual results could differ from the estimates.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a value-added distributor, and provides advisory and technical services. Through its vast sales organization, the Company provides its customers with planning, designing, and consulting services related to their commercial laundry operations. The Company sells and/or leases its customers commercial laundry equipment, specializing in washing, drying, finishing, material handling, water heating, power generation, and water reuse applications. In support of the suite of products it offers, the Company sells related parts and accessories. Additionally, through the Company’s robust network of commercial laundry technicians, the Company provides its customers with installation, maintenance, and repair services.
The Company’s customers include government, institutional, industrial, commercial and retail customers. Product purchases made by customers range from parts and accessories, to single or multiple units of equipment, to large complex systems. The Company also provides its customers with the services described above.
The Company’s growth strategy includes organic growth initiatives and business acquisitions pursuant to the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy, which was implemented in 2015.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the Company’s business and results. Specifically, beginning at the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic disruption caused delays and declines in the placement of customer orders, the completion of equipment and parts installations, and the fulfillment of parts orders. In response to the economic and business disruption during 2020, the Company took actions to reduce costs and spending across the organization, including changes to inventory stock levels, renegotiating payment terms with suppliers, and reducing hiring activities. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic had a resurgence with the increased presence and spread of the Delta variant. In addition, the Omicron variant emerged as a variant of concern towards the end of the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and had adverse effects. Factors arising from the COVID-19 pandemic that have impacted, or may in the future negatively impact, the Company’s business and results, including sales and gross margin, include, but are not limited to: supply chain disruptions, which resulted in, and may continue to result in, delays in delivering products or services to the Company’s customers; labor shortages; limitations on the ability of the Company’s employees to perform their work due to sickness or other impacts caused by the pandemic or local, state, federal or foreign orders that may restrict the Company’s operations or the operations of its customers, or require that employees be quarantined; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver products to the Company’s facilities and customers; risks associated with vaccine mandates, including the potential loss of employees, fines for noncompliance and loss of, or future inability to secure, certain contracts, including with the federal government; adverse impacts of the pandemic on certain industries and customers of the Company which operate in those industries, including the hospitality industry; and potential decreased demand for products and services, including potential limitations on the ability of, or adverse changes in the desire of, the Company’s customers to conduct their business, purchase products and services, and pay for purchases on a timely basis or at all. Further, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of, among other things, any adverse impact that has occurred or may occur in the future in the economy or markets generally, and changes in customer or supplier behavior, in each case, in connection with the pandemic.

Note (2) – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in Note 1 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
Note (3) – Recently Issued Accounting Guidance: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which will change the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other specified instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard will also require enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. The guidance must be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and for interim periods within those fiscal years (the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The new guidance provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include contract modifications, hedging relationships, and the sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. Entities may apply the provisions of the new standard as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made. The provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be completed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
Other than as described above, management does not believe that accounting standards and updates which have been issued but are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Note (4) - Acquisitions:
CLK Acquisition
On February 7, 2022, the Company acquired Consolidated Laundry Equipment, Inc. and Central Equipment Company, LLC (collectively “CLK”), pursuant to a merger whereby CLK merged with and into, and became, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “CLK Acquisition”). CLK is a North Carolina-based distributor of commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provider of installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry. This acquisition expanded the Company’s footprint in the Southeast region of the United States. The consideration paid by the Company in connection with the merger consisted of $
The CLK Acquisition was treated for accounting purposes as a purchase of CLK using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate consideration in the CLK Acquisition was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, in each case, based on their respective fair values as of the closing date, with the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired being allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. The computation of the purchase price consideration and the preliminary allocation of the consideration to the net assets acquired are presented in the following tables (in thousands):

The Company is continuing its valuation of the net assets acquired, which is subject to adjustment in accordance with the merger agreement. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation set forth above reflects preliminary fair value estimates based on preliminary work and analyses performed by management and is subject to change as additional information to assist in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the closing date is obtained during the post-closing measurement period of up to one year. The Company has finalized its assessment of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, except for certain working capital items, including accounts receivable, inventories, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Intangible assets consist of $
Goodwill is attributable primarily to the assembled workforce acquired, as well as benefits from the increased scale of the Company as a result of the CLK Acquisition. The goodwill from the CLK Acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Note (5) - Earnings Per Share: The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Shares of the Company’s common stock subject to unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are considered participating securities because they contain a non-forfeitable right to cash dividends (in the case of restricted stock awards) or dividend equivalents (in the case of restricted stock units) paid prior to vesting or forfeiture, if any, irrespective of whether the awards or units ultimately vest.

On May 6, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, (i) in connection with the phasing out of LIBOR, replaced LIBOR with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”), and (ii) extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from November 2, 2023 to May 6, 2027. See Part II, Item 5 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information relating to the amendment to the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including financial covenants requiring the Company to comply with maximum leverage ratios and minimum interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also contains other provisions which may restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, dispose of or acquire assets or businesses, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments and capital expenditures, pay dividends, repurchase shares and enter into transactions with affiliates. As of March 31, 2022 and the date of the amendment, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement.
The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Yankee Equipment Systems, Inc. (“YES”) during November 2020, the Company, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, assumed the approximately $

Note (8) – Leases:
Company as Lessee
The Company leases warehouse and distribution facilities, administrative office space and service and other fleet vehicles, generally for terms of
The Company applies ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842” or “Topic 842”), which, among other things, requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on their balance sheets and disclose certain additional key information about leasing arrangements. The standard established a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are required to be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The Company adopted this standard effective July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption without restatement of prior periods.
The Company made the election to not apply the recognition requirements in Topic 842 to short-term leases (i.e., leases of 12 months or less). Instead, the Company, as permitted by Topic 842, recognizes the lease payments under its short-term leases in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company elected this accounting policy for all classes of underlying assets. In addition, in accordance with Topic 842, variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred are not included in the recognition of a lease liability or right-of-use asset.
Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and right-of-use liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. However, certain of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. For such leases, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The Company uses instruments with similar characteristics when calculating its incremental borrowing rates.
The Company has options to extend certain of its operating leases for additional periods of time and the right to terminate several of its operating leases prior to its contractual expiration, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the lease. The lease term consists of the non-cancellable period of the lease and the periods covered by Company options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company's lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component for all underlying classes of assets with lease and non-lease components.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had

Company as Lessor
The Company derives a portion of its revenue from equipment leasing arrangements. Such arrangements provide for monthly payments covering the equipment provided, maintenance, and interest. These arrangements meet the criteria to be accounted for as sales type leases. Accordingly, revenue from the provision of the equipment is recognized upon delivery of the equipment and its acceptance by the customer. Upon the recognition of such revenue, an asset is established for the investment in sales type leases. Maintenance revenue and interest are recognized monthly over the lease term.

risks that equipment sales may not result in the ancillary benefits anticipated, including that they may not lead to increases in customers (or a stronger relationship with customers) or higher gross margin sales of parts, accessories, supplies, and technical services related to the equipment, and the risk that the benefit of lower gross margin equipment sales under longer-term contracts will not outweigh the possible short-term impact to gross margin; the risk that the Company’s service operations may not expand to the extent anticipated, or at all; risks related to the Company’s indebtedness; the availability, terms and deployment of debt and equity capital if needed for expansion or otherwise; changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulation, including environmental regulations; litigation risks, including the costs of defending litigation and the impact of any adverse ruling;

The Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive. The reader should not place undue reliance on any forward looking statement, which speaks only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake to, and specifically disclaims any obligation to, update or supplement any forward looking statement, whether as a result of changes in circumstances, new information, subsequent events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
Company Overview
EVI Industries, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively “EVI” or the “Company”), is a value-added distributor, and provides advisory and technical services. Through its vast sales organization, the Company provides its customers with planning, designing, and consulting services related to their commercial laundry operations. The Company sells and/or leases its customers commercial laundry equipment, specializing in washing, drying, finishing, material handling, water heating, power generation, and water reuse applications. In support of the suite of products it offers, the Company sells related parts and accessories. Additionally, through the Company’s robust network of commercial laundry technicians, the Company provides its customers with installation, maintenance, and repair services.
The Company’s customers include government, institutional, industrial, commercial and retail customers. Product purchases made by customers range from parts and accessories, to single or multiple units of equipment, to large complex systems. The Company also provides its customers with the services described above.
The Company’s operating expenses consist primarily of (a) selling, general and administrative expenses, which are comprised primarily of salaries, and commissions and marketing expenses that are variable and correlate to changes in sales, (b) expenses related to the operation of warehouse facilities, including a fleet of installation and service vehicles, and facility rent, which are payable mostly under non-cancelable operating leases, and (c) operating expenses at the parent company, including compensation expenses, fees for professional services, other expenses associated with being a public company, and expenses in furtherance of the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy.
Growth Strategy
During 2015, the Company implemented a “buy-and-build” growth strategy. The “buy” component of the strategy includes the consideration and pursuit of acquisitions and other strategic transactions which management believes would complement the Company’s existing business or otherwise offer growth opportunities for, or benefit, the Company. The Company generally seeks to structure acquisitions to include both cash and stock consideration. Acquisitions are effected through a wholly-owned subsidiary which acquires the business or assets of the acquired company, whether by an asset purchase or merger, and operates the acquired business following the transaction. In connection with each transaction, the Company, indirectly through its applicable wholly-owned subsidiary, also assumed certain of the liabilities of the acquired business. The financial position, including assets and liabilities, and results of operations of the acquired businesses following the respective closing dates of the acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As described in greater detail in Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on February 7, 2022, the Company acquired Consolidated Laundry Equipment, Inc. and Central Equipment Company, LLC (collectively “CLK”), a Carolina-based distributor of commercial, industrial, and vended laundry products and provider of installation and maintenance services to the new and replacement segments of the commercial, industrial and vended laundry industry. The financial condition and results of operations of Consolidated Laundry Equipment subsequent to the February 7, 2022 closing date of the acquisition are included within the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ending March 31, 2022. See also Note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding acquisitions consummated and a definitive purchase agreement entered into subsequent to March 31, 2022.
The “build” component of the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy involves implementing a growth culture at acquired businesses based on the exchange of ideas and business concepts among the management teams of the Company and the acquired businesses as well as through certain initiatives, which may include investments in additional sales and service personnel, new product lines, enhanced service operations and capabilities, new and improved facilities, and advanced technologies.
The Company pursues market share growth using a variety of strategies aimed at increasing the installed base of the wide range of commercial laundry equipment the Company represents. Certain market share growth tactics may, from time to time, result in lower gross margins. However, the Company believes that a greater installed base of equipment strengthens the Company’s existing customer relationships and may lead to increases in the total number of customers, consequently creating a larger and stronger customer base to which the Company may sell products and services. These may include certain higher margin products and services and any additional products and services which the Company may offer or sell from time to time as a result of any business acquisitions, the sale or lease of complementary products, and expansion of its service operations. From time to time, the Company also enters into longer-term contracts, including to fulfill large complex laundry projects for divisions of the federal government, where the nature of, and competition for, such contracts may result in a lower gross margin as compared to other equipment sales. Despite the potential for a lower gross margin from such longer-term contracts, the Company believes that the long-term benefit from the increase in its installed equipment will outweigh the possible short-term impact to gross margin.
Further, as a value-added distributor and a provider of technical services in the commercial laundry industry, the Company partners with its customers to plan, design, install, and maintain their commercial laundry operations. The nature of the Company’s business not only requires an experienced and well-trained sales organization to procure customer orders, but also requires proper, timely, and cost-effective installation ranging from single units of equipment to complex multimillion dollar laundry systems. Such installations also require coordination and collaboration with the Company’s customers and any third parties they may retain. Consequently, the recognition of revenue and profit may from time to time be impacted by delays in construction and/or the preparation of customer facilities for the installation of purchased commercial laundry equipment and systems. This may result in decreased revenue and profit in a current period but a source of future revenue and profit through the ultimate fulfillment of the orders.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the Company’s business and results. Specifically, beginning at the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic disruption caused delays and declines in the placement of customer orders, the completion of equipment and parts installations, and the fulfillment of parts orders. In response to the economic and business disruption during 2020, the Company took actions to reduce costs and spending across the organization, including changes to inventory stock levels, renegotiating payment terms with suppliers, and reducing hiring activities. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic had a resurgence with the increased presence and spread of the Delta variant. In addition, the Omicron variant emerged as a variant of concern towards the end of the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and had adverse effects. Factors arising from the COVID-19 pandemic that have impacted, or may in the future negatively impact, the Company’s business and results, including sales and gross margin, include, but are not limited to: supply chain disruptions, which resulted in, and may continue to result in, delays in delivering products or services to the Company’s customers; labor shortages; limitations on the ability of the Company’s employees to perform their work due to sickness or other impacts caused by the pandemic or local, state, federal or foreign orders that may restrict the Company’s operations or the operations of its customers, or require that employees be quarantined; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver products to the Company’s facilities and customers; risks associated with vaccine mandates, including the potential loss of employees, fines for noncompliance and loss of, or future inability to secure, certain contracts, including with the federal government; adverse impacts of the pandemic on certain industries and customers of the Company which operate in those industries, including the hospitality industry; and potential decreased demand for products and services, including potential limitations on the ability of, or adverse changes in the desire of, the Company’s customers to conduct their business, purchase products and services, and pay for purchases on a timely basis or at all. Further, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of, among other things, any adverse impact that has occurred or may occur in the future in the economy or markets generally, and changes in customer or supplier behavior, in each case, in connection with the pandemic.

Results of Operations
Nine and Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Nine and Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2021
Revenues
Revenues for the nine and three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 increased $7.0 million, or 4%, and decreased $2.4 million, or 4%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenue for the nine-month period is due to improved conditions in connection with the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022 and the completion during such period of projects previously delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the increase in revenue was partially attributable to price increases established throughout the Company’s product lines and service offerings aimed at maintaining or increasing margins to cover incremental product and operating costs. The decrease in revenue for the three-month period is due primarily to supply chain constraints, which impacted both the Company’s timing of receipt and delivery of products to the Company’s customers, as well as other delays, including due to construction or other delays which inhibited a customer’s ability to receive products. In addition, the Company’s revenues for the nine and three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 benefited from the results of businesses acquired during the nine month period ended March 31, 2021, including primarily Yankee Equipment Systems, LLC (“Yankee Equipment Systems”) which was acquired during November 2020, and from the results of CLK, which was acquired during February 2022.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the nine and three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 increased $8.0 million, or 18%, and $1.3 million, or 8%, compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase in the nine-month period was primarily the result of increased revenues and more favorable product and customer mix. The increase in gross profit for the three-month period was primarily the result of a more favorable product and customer mix as well as reduced discounting and promotional pricing due to increased demand and supply constraints. This resulted in increases in gross margins from 24.5% and 25.2% for the nine and three-month periods ended March 31, 2021, respectively, to 27.9% and 28.4% for the nine and three-month periods ended March 31, 2022, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Operating expenses increased by approximately $6.4 million, or 15%, and $1.8 million, or 12%, for the nine and three-month periods ended March 31, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. These increases are primarily attributable to (a) operating expenses of acquired businesses, including additional operating expenses at the acquired businesses in pursuit of future growth and in connection with the Company’s optimization initiatives, (b) increases in selling costs, including commissions, from increases in revenues during the nine-month period, (c) increases in operating expenses and investments at the parent company level in connection with the Company’s optimization initiatives, including expenses related to the consolidation of the Company’s operations and the modernization of the Company’s operations through the implementation of advanced technologies, including a new ERP software system, a new customer relations management system, and a completely digital sales and service operating platform, and (d) increased operating expenses in support of the Company’s “buy-and-build” growth strategy.
Interest and Other (Expense) Income, Net
Net interest and other expense for the nine month period ended March 31, 2022 was $390,000 compared to $122,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net interest and other expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 was $125,000 compared to net interest and other income of $197,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in net interest and other expense for the nine and three-month periods was attributable primarily to the $361,000 bargain purchase gain recognized in connection with an acquisition completed by
