NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(1) Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description
ScanSource, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries referred to as “the Company” or “ScanSource”) is at the center of the solution delivery channel, connecting businesses and institutions, and providing technology solutions. The Company brings technology solutions and services from the world’s leading suppliers of point-of-sale (POS), payments, barcode, physical security, unified communications and collaboration, and telecom and cloud services to market. The Company operates in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. The Company's two operating segments, Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security and Worldwide Communications & Services, are based on product, customer and service type.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring and non-recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , the results of operations for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the statements of comprehensive income for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 . The results of operations for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 .

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies for the six months ended December 31, 2018 from the policies described in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 . For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 .

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains zero-balance disbursement accounts at various financial institutions at which the Company does not maintain significant depository relationships. Due to the terms of the agreements governing these accounts, the Company generally does not have the right to offset outstanding checks written from these accounts against cash on hand, and the respective institutions are not legally obligated to honor the checks until sufficient funds are transferred to fund the checks. As a result, checks released but not yet cleared from these accounts in the amounts of $5.3 million and $5.7 million are included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , respectively.

Long-lived Assets

The Company presents depreciation expense and intangible amortization expense individually on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. The Company's depreciation expense related to selling, general and administrative costs totaled $3.3 million and $6.5 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 , respectively, and $3.5 million and $6.7 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017 , respectively. Depreciation expense reported as part of cost of goods sold on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements totaled $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 , respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.6 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017 , respectively. There was no depreciation expense reported as part of cost of goods sold prior to the acquisition of POS Portal on July 31, 2017. The Company's amortization expense reported on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements relate to selling, general and administrative costs, not the cost of selling goods. Intangible amortization expense totaled $4.7 million and $9.7 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 , respectively, and $5.5 million and $10.5 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017 , respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard for contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). In March, April, May and December 2016 the FASB issued additional ASUs to provide supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU 2014-09. The core principle of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 Revenue Recognition for additional information.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) requiring lessees to reflect most leases on their balance sheets and recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current guidance. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The asset will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee's initial direct costs. For leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, as long as the lease does not include options to purchase the underlying assets, lessees can elect not to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged, and the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions is simplified. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. The guidance can be adopted using a modified retrospective approach or a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings in the period of adoption for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company has established a lease implementation team and is in the process of reviewing leases to determine an implementation approach. Currently, the Company is evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) intended to reduce diversity in practice of how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues, with the treatment of contingent consideration payments made after a business combination being the most directly applicable to the Company. The update requires that cash payments made approximately three months or less after an acquisition's consummation date should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities. Payment made thereafter up to the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows from financing activities. Payments made in excess of the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows from operating activities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the standard for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018 using the retrospective transition method. For fiscal year 2018, the Company classified the amount of the Network1 earnout payment paid in the six months that was in excess of the originally anticipated liability at the acquisition date as an operating cash outflow. For fiscal year 2019, the Company classified the amounts of the Intelisys and Network1 earnout payments in excess as an operating cash outflow.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) that amends and simplifies guidance related to hedge accounting to more accurately portray the economics of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The presentation and disclosure requirements apply prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.

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 . The pronouncement eliminates, modifies and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted a final rule that amends certain of its disclosure requirements "that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded in light of changes in SEC requirements, U.S. GAAP or changes in the information environment." The rule requires registrants to include in the interim financial reporting an analysis of changes in stockholders' equity for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods. The final rule was effective on November 5, 2018 with registrants required to provide interim reporting in the first period beginning after the effective date. The Company will provide an interim analysis of changes in stockholders' equity for the quarter ending March 31, 2019.

The Company has reviewed other newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to its business or that no material effect is expected on its consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to classify contingent consideration payments made in excess of the original contingent liability as an operating activity in accordance with ASU 2016-15. These reclassifications had no effect on consolidated financial results.

(2) Revenue Recognition

The Company provides technology solutions and services from the world's leading suppliers of POS, payments, barcode, physical security, unified communications and collaboration, and telecom and cloud services. This includes hardware, related accessories, device configuration as well as software licenses, professional services and hardware support programs.

The Company adopted ASC 606 effective July 1, 2018 utilizing the full retrospective method. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize, the Company applies the following five-step model: (i) identify contracts with customers; (ii) identify performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue as control of products and services are transferred to customers, which is generally at the point of shipment. The Company delivers products to customers in several ways, including: (i) shipment from the Company's warehouse, (ii) drop-shipment directly from the supplier, or (iii) electronic delivery for software licenses.

Significant Judgments:

Principal versus Agent Considerations

The Company is the principal for sales of all hardware, software and certain services, including self-branded warranty programs. The Company considers itself the principal in these transactions as it has control of the product or service before it is transferred to the customer. When the Company provides self-branded warranty programs, it engages a third party, generally the original equipment manufacturer, to cover the fulfillment of any obligations arising from these contracts. These revenues and associated third-party costs are amortized over the life of the contract on a straight-line basis. The Company recognizes the previously described revenue and cost of goods sold on a gross basis.

The Company is the agent for third-party service contracts, including product warranties and supplier-hosted software. These service contracts are sold separately from the products, and the Company often serves as the agent for the contract on behalf of the original equipment manufacturer. The Company's responsibility is to arrange for the provision of the specified service by the

10


original equipment manufacturer and the Company does not control the specified service before it is transferred to the customer. Because the Company acts as an agent, revenue is recognized net of cost at the time of sale.

Related to the Company’s Intelisys business, the Company acts as a master agent partnering suppliers with sales agents to provide telecom and cloud services to end customers. Commission revenue received from the supplier is recognized net of cost associated with commissions the Company pays to sales agents at the time of sale.

Variable Considerations

For certain transactions, products are sold with a right of return and may also provide other rebates or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration by using the expected value or the most likely amount to be given to the customer and reduces the revenue by those estimated amounts. These estimates are reviewed and updated as necessary at the end of each reporting period.

Contract Balances

The Company records contract assets and liabilities for payments received from customers in advance of services performed. These assets and liabilities are the result of the sales of the Company's self-branded warranty programs and other transactions where control has not yet passed to the customer. These amounts are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

Practical Expedients & Accounting Policy Elections
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract - These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses as the amortization period is generally one year or less. The Company expenses costs associated with obtaining and fulfilling contracts as incurred.
Shipping costs - The Company accounts for certain shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs and expenses them as incurred.
Significant financing components - The Company has elected not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will generally be one year or less.
Sales tax and other related taxes - Sales and other tax amounts collected from customers for remittance to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue.

POS Portal

On July 31, 2017 , the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of POS Portal, Inc. ("POS Portal"), a leading provider of payment devices and services primarily to the small and midsized ("SMB") market segment in the United States. POS Portal joined the Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment.

Under the purchase agreement, the all-cash transaction included an initial purchase price of approximately $144.9 million paid in cash at closing. The Company paid an additional $3.4 million for customary closing adjustments during the six months ended December 31, 2017. The Company acquired $4.6 million in cash, net of debt payoff and other customary closing adjustments, resulting in $143.8 million net cash paid for POS Portal. The agreement also included a cash earn-out payment up to $13.2 million based on POS Portal's earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the trailing twelve months (TTM) ending September 30, 2017, which was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. A portion of the purchase price was placed into escrow to indemnify the Company for certain pre-acquisition damages. As of December 31, 2018 , the balance available in escrow was $13.1 million .

The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date. Purchase accounting for this acquisition was finalized during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to expanding the Company's high-value capabilities and market reach across all payment channels. Goodwill, identifiable intangible assets and the related deferred tax liability are not deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented for the acquisition of POS Portal because such results are not material to our consolidated results.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). On April 3, 2017, the Company amended this credit facility to extend its maturity to April 3, 2022 . On August 8, 2017, the Company amended the Amended Credit Agreement to increase the committed credit facility from $300 million to $400 million . The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit and has a $200 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $600 million , subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase. The Company incurred $0.9 million and $0.3 million in connection with the amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement on April 3, 2017 and August 8, 2017 , respectively. These costs were capitalized to other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and added to the unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit facility.

At the Company's option, loans denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon the Company's ratio of total debt (excluding accounts payable and accrued liabilities), measured as of the end of the most recent quarter, to adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the most recently completed four quarters (the "Leverage Ratio"). This spread ranges from 1.00% to 2.125% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 1.125% for alternate base rate loans. Additionally, the Company is assessed commitment fees ranging from 0.175% to 0.35% , depending upon the Leverage Ratio, on non-utilized borrowing availability, excluding swingline loans. Borrowings are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and a pledge of up to 65% of capital stock or other equity interest in certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be either material or a subsidiary borrower as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.

At December 31, 2018 , the spread in effect was 1.625% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.625% for alternate base rate loans. The commitment fee rate in effect as of December 31, 2018 was 0.25% . The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of December 31, 2018 .

The average daily outstanding balance during the six month periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $296.1 million and $261.8 million , respectively. There was $32.8 million and $156.0 million available for additional borrowings as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , respectively. There were no letters of credit issued under the multi-currency revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 .

Long-Term Debt

On August 1, 2007 , the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Mississippi to provide financing for the acquisition and installation of certain equipment to be utilized at the Company’s Southaven, Mississippi warehouse, through the issuance of an industrial development revenue bond. The bond matures on September 1, 2032 and accrues interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a spread of 0.85% . The terms of the bond allow for payment of interest only for the first 10 years of the agreement, and then, starting on September 1, 2018 through 2032, principal and interest payments are due until the maturity date or the redemption of the bond. The agreement also provides the bondholder with a put option, exercisable only within 180 days of each fifth anniversary of the agreement, requiring the Company to pay back the bonds at 100% of the principal amount outstanding. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this bond. The interest rate at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 was 3.229% and 2.855% , respectively.

Debt Issuance Costs

As of December 31, 2018 , net debt issuance costs associated with the credit facility and bond totaled $1.1 million and are being amortized on a straight-line basis through the maturity date of each respective debt instrument.

(8) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

In an effort to manage the exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, the Company periodically enters into various derivative instruments. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are designated as hedge or non-hedge instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense.

Foreign Currency Derivatives – The Company conducts a portion of its business internationally in a variety of foreign currencies. The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities and transactions arising from non-functional currency financing or trading activities. The Company’s objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through forward contracts or other hedging instruments with third parties. These contracts hedge the exchange of various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, Brazilian real, euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Chilean peso, Colombian peso, Peruvian nuevo sol and South African rand. While the Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure, the Company's foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

The Company had contracts outstanding for purposes of managing cash flows with notional amounts of $91.8 million and $74.6 million for the exchange of foreign currencies as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , respectively. To date, the Company has chosen not to designate these derivatives as hedging instruments, and accordingly, these instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense. Summarized financial information related to these derivative contracts and changes in the underlying value of the foreign currency exposures are as follows:

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses and are included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statements. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the British pound versus the euro and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rates - The Company's earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on interest expense from floating rate debt instruments. To manage the exposure, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $50.0 million scheduled to mature on April 3, 2022 . This swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge to hedge the variable rate interest payments on the revolving credit facility. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreement are recognized as adjustments to interest expense. To the extent the swap is effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the swap are not included in current earnings but are reported as other comprehensive income (loss). There was no ineffective portion to be recorded as an adjustment to earnings for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 .

The components of the cash flow hedge included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are as follows:

(9) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under this guidance, the Company classifies certain assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy, which aggregates fair value measured assets and liabilities based upon the following levels of inputs:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).

The assets and liabilities maintained by the Company that are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company’s various debt instruments, deferred compensation plan investments, outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements and contingent consideration owed to the previous owners of Network1 and Intelisys. The carrying value of debt is considered to approximate fair value, as the Company’s debt instruments are indexed to a variable rate using the market approach (Level 2 criteria).

The investments in the deferred compensation plan are held in a rabbi trust and include mutual funds and cash equivalents for payment of non-qualified benefits for certain retired, terminated and active employees. These investments are recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets or other non-current assets depending on their corresponding, anticipated distribution dates to recipients, which are reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term non-current liabilities, respectively.

Derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, are measured using the market approach on a recurring basis considering foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers and interest rates quoted by banks (Level 2). See Note 8 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities . Fair values of interest rate swaps are measured using standard valuation models with inputs that can be derived from observable market transactions, including LIBOR spot and forward rates (Level 2). Foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap agreements are classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued expenses and other current liabilities, depending on the respective instruments' favorable or unfavorable positions.
 
The Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities at the acquisition date of Network1, Intelisys and POS Portal representing the amounts payable to former shareholders, as outlined under the terms of the purchase agreements, based upon the achievement of a projected earnings measure, net of specific pro forma adjustments. The contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of Network1 was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The contingent consideration for POS Portal was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The current and non-current portions of these obligations are reported separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the contingent considerations (Level 3) are determined using a form of a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are recorded to the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Fluctuations due to foreign currency translation are captured in other comprehensive income through the changes in foreign currency translation adjustments line item as seen in Note 4 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) .

POS Portal is part of the Company's Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security Segment. Network1 and Intelisys are part of the Company's Worldwide Communications & Services segment.

The fair values of amounts owed are recorded in current portion of contingent consideration and long-term portion of contingent consideration in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The U.S. dollar amounts of actual disbursements made in connection with the future earnout payment for Network1 are subject to change as the liability is denominated in Brazilian real and subject to foreign exchange fluctuation risk. The Company will revalue the contingent consideration liabilities at each reporting date through the last payment, with changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration reflected in the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Income Statements that is included in the calculation of operating income. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities associated with future earnout payments is based on several factors, including:

estimated future results, net of pro forma adjustments set forth in the purchase agreements;
the probability of achieving these results; and
a discount rate reflective of the Company’s creditworthiness and market risk premium associated with the United States and Brazilian markets.


20


A change in any of these unobservable inputs can significantly change the fair value of the contingent consideration. Valuation techniques and significant observable inputs used in recurring Level 3 fair value measurements for our contingent consideration liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 were as follows.

POS Portal

The contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of POS Portal was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. For the quarter ended December 31, 2017 , the change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of less than $0.1 million .

Worldwide Communications & Services Segment

Intelisys

The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of Intelisys recognized at December 31, 2018 was $71.9 million , of which $39.7 million is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement contributed a loss of $1.9 million and $6.4 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 . The change in fair value for the quarter is primarily driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount offset by lower than projected actual results. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range up to $85.1 million , based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of earnings, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Intelisys recognized at December 31, 2017 was $90.7 million , of which $32.3 million is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement contributed a loss of $5.1 million and $9.2 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017 , respectively. The change for the quarter and six months period are primarily driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and an adjustment to the probability weights in the discounted cash flow model.

Network1

A payment to the former shareholders of Network1 was paid during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 . There was minimal change in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.

The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Network1 recognized at December 31, 2017 was $6.3 million , all of which is classified as current. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017 , the change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of $1.8 million and $14.5 million , respectively. The change in fair value for the quarter is primarily due to improved actual results. The change in fair value for the six month period is primarily driven by a change in estimate of the current year payment to the former shareholders of Network1, additional agreed upon adjustments to the projected final settlement and improved actual results for the second quarter. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange between the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar has driven changes in the translation of this Brazilian real denominated liability.

(11) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to lawsuits arising out of operations. Although there can be no assurance, based upon information known to the Company, the Company believes that any liability resulting from an adverse determination of such lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company expects total capital expenditures to range from $10 million to $15 million for fiscal year 2019, primarily for information technology investments.

During the Company's due diligence for the Network1 acquisition, several pre-acquisition contingencies were identified regarding various Brazilian federal and state tax exposures. The Company recorded indemnification receivables that are reported gross of the pre-acquisition contingency liabilities as the funds were escrowed as part of the acquisition. The amount available after the impact of foreign currency translation, as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , was $17.9 million and $24.1 million .

The table below summarizes the balances and line item presentation of Network1's pre-acquisition contingencies and corresponding indemnification receivables in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 :

(12) Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act reduces the corporate federal tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 and implements a modified territorial tax system. Since the Company has a June 30th fiscal year-end, the lower tax rate resulted in a blended U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The U.S. statutory federal rate is 21% for the year ending June 30, 2019 and subsequent fiscal years. As part of the Tax Act, U.S. companies are required to pay a one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and remeasure deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Income taxes for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements using an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, the Company also includes certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax provision. During the quarter ending December 31, 2018 , the Company recognized a discrete tax benefit of $0.2 million related to the completion of the accounting for the Tax Act.

The Company’s effective tax rate of 25.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2018 differs from the current federal statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of income derived from tax jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, nondeductible expenses and state income taxes.

In response to the Tax Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) that provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the Tax Act. SAB 118 allows companies to record provisional amounts to the extent reasonably estimable and adjust them over time as more information becomes available, not to extend beyond the measurement period of one year from the enactment of the Tax Act. The Company recorded provisional amounts for the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities during the quarter ending December 31, 2017. The Company has completed its analysis within the permitted measurement period under the guidance of SAB 118 and any adjustment to income tax expense. Included within tax expense for the December 31, 2018 reporting period is a measurement period adjustment for the one-time transition tax liability. The final impact from the enactment of the Tax Act differed from the provisional amount provided as a result of additional analysis, changes in interpretation and assumptions, as well as additional regulatory guidance that was issued.

24



The Tax Act includes a mandatory deemed repatriation of all undistributed foreign earnings that are subject to a U.S. income tax as part of the transition. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized provisional income tax expense of $9.6 million for a one-time transition tax liability on total post-1986 foreign subsidiaries’ earnings and profits (“E&P”) that were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. The Company completed its analysis for this item within the permitted measurement period under the guidance of SAB 118 and determined that the provisional amount should be adjusted to the final amount of $9.4 million . As a result, a discrete tax benefit for $0.2 million was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 . The Company will continue to distribute the earnings of its Canadian subsidiary, but earnings from all other geographies will continue to be considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment. It has been the practice of the Company to reinvest those earnings in the business outside the United States. Apart from the one-time transition tax, any incremental deferred income taxes on the unremitted foreign earnings are not expected to be material.

As part of accounting for the Tax Act, the Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which such deferred taxes are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21% . For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 , the Company recognized a provisional discrete income tax benefit of $1.6 million for the remeasurement of the Company’s net deferred tax asset and liability balances. The Company completed its analysis for this item within the permitted measurement period under the guidance of SAB 118 and determined that the provisional amount should not be adjusted.

The Tax Act created a provision known as global intangible low-tax income ("GILTI") that imposes a tax on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The GILTI tax became effective for the Company during fiscal year 2019 and an accounting policy election was made to treat the tax as a current period expense.

The Company had approximately $1.5 million and $2.1 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , respectively. Of this total at December 31, 2018 , approximately $1.2 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that are permanent in nature and, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company does not believe that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date.

The Company conducts business globally and one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in countries and states in which it operates. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before June 30, 2013 .

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , the Company had approximately $1.2 million accrued for interest and penalties, respectively.

Financial results in Belgium for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 produced a pre-tax income of approximately $2.7 million and $1.8 million , respectively. Belgium had pre-tax losses in the prior year. To the extent the Belgium business does not maintain profitability as expected, this could affect the valuation of certain deferred tax assets. However,  in the judgment of management it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Belgium enacted a corporate tax reform law on December 25, 2017 which reduces the corporate tax rate from 33% to 25% over a three-year period. The Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which such deferred taxes are expected to reverse in the future. As a result, the Company recognized income tax expense of $1.0 million as a discrete event during the year ended June 30, 2018 .

Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security

The Barcode, Networking & Security segment consists of sales to customers in North America, Latin America and Europe. For the quarter ended December 31, 2018 , net sales for the Barcode, Networking & Security segment decreased $18.1 million . Excluding the foreign exchange negative impact, adjusted net sales decreased $10.3 million , or 1.4% , for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 . The decrease in net sales and adjusted net sales for the quarter compared to the prior-year quarter is primarily due to higher big deal sales volumes in the prior year quarter.

For the six months ended December 31, 2018 , net sales increased $16.6 million compared to the prior-year six month period. Excluding the foreign exchange negative impact and net sales from the POS Portal acquisition, adjusted net sales increased $23.0 million , or 1.7% , for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 . The increase in net sales and adjusted net sales for the six month period compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to increased sales volume in North America and Europe, partially offset by declines in Latin America.

Worldwide Communications & Services
The Communications & Services segment consists of sales to customers in North America, Latin America and Europe. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 , net sales increased $32.0 million and $45.5 million , compared to the prior year quarter and six month period, respectively. Excluding the foreign exchange negative impact and net sales from acquisitions, adjusted net sales increased $43.0 million , or 13.8% , for the quarter and $68.9 million , or 11.2% for the six month period. The increase in both net sales and adjusted net sales for the quarter and six months compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily driven by increased sales volume in North America and Brazil.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $6.2 million and $10.9 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 , respectively, as compared to the prior year. The increase in SG&A expenses for the quarter is primarily due to increased employee-related expenses, largely due to recent acquisitions, partially offset by a reduction in bad debt expense.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter and six month period is the result of fully depreciated/amortized assets.

We present changes in fair value of the contingent consideration owed to the former shareholders of businesses that we acquire as a separate line item in operating expenses. We recorded fair value adjustment expense of $1.9 million and $6.4 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 . The expense from change in fair value of contingent consideration for the quarter and six month period is largely due to the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount for the Intelisys acquisition.

Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security

For the Barcode, Networking & Security segment, operating income and operating margin increased for the current quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the prior year. The increase in the operating income for the quarter is primarily due to increased gross profit and lower bad debt expenses. The increase for the six month period is largely due to increased gross profit and lower bad debt expense, partially offset by higher employee-related expenses.

Worldwide Communications & Services

For the Communications & Services segment, operating income and operating margin increased for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to lower expense recognized from the change in fair value of contingent consideration. Excluding the change in fair value of contingent consideration, operating income totaled $13.4 million, or 3.9% of net sales, and $13.7 million, or 4.4% of net sales, for the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The decrease for the quarter is largely due to lower gross profit margins and higher employee-related expenses.  Excluding the impact of the change in fair value of contingent consideration, operating income totaled $26.2 million, or 4.0% of net sales, and $24.3 million, or 3.9% of net sales, for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase for the six month period is largely due to increased sales volumes, partially offset by higher employee-related expenses.

Interest expense consists primarily of interest incurred on borrowings, non-utilization fees charged on the revolving credit facility and amortization of debt issuance costs. Interest expense increased for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 principally from higher average borrowings on our multi-currency revolving credit facility.

Interest income consists primarily of interest income generated on longer-term interest-bearing receivables and interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, principally in Brazil. Interest income decreased for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 due to lower interest rates in Brazil, as well as lower certificates of deposit held by the Company.

Net foreign exchange losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated from fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the British pound versus the euro, the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar, the U.S. dollar versus the Colombian peso and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar. While we utilize foreign exchange contracts and debt in non-functional currencies to hedge foreign currency exposure, our foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative transactions. Our net foreign exchange losses reflect the net impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against currency exposures.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2018 , income tax expense was $6.7 million and $11.6 million , respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 25.0% and 25.2% , respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2017 was 60.8% and 55.3% , respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the prior-year quarter and six month period is primarily due to the recognition of net discrete tax expense of $6.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively, during the prior year related to the Tax Act and due to the reduction in the U.S. Federal statutory rate effective January 1, 2018. We expect the effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, for fiscal year 2019 to be approximately 25 to 26%, which reflects the application of the 21% U.S. statutory tax rate effective January 1, 2018. See Note 12 - Income Taxes to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS), return on invested capital ("ROIC")

31


and "constant currency." Constant currency is a measure that excludes the translation exchange impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates between reporting periods. We use non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and evaluate performance, including comparisons from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and the non-GAAP financial measures that we report may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. Analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be considered in addition to, and not in substitution for or as superior to, measurements of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Net Sales in Constant Currency, Excluding Acquisitions
We make references to "constant currency," a non-GAAP performance measure that excludes the foreign exchange rate impact from fluctuations in the average foreign exchange rates between reporting periods. Constant currency is calculated by translating current period results from currencies other than the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars using the comparable average foreign exchange rates from the prior-year period. We also exclude the impact of acquisitions prior to the first full year of operations from the acquisition date in order to show net sales results on an organic basis. This information is provided to analyze underlying trends without the translation impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and the impact of acquisitions. Below we provide a non-GAAP reconciliation of net sales in constant currency, excluding acquisition (organic growth):

Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Pre-Tax Income, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS

34



To evaluate current period performance on a more consistent basis with prior periods, we disclose non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP results exclude amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions and changes in fair value of contingent consideration. Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP pre-tax income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS are useful in assessing and understanding our operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods. Below we provide a non-GAAP reconciliation of operating income, pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share adjusted for the costs and charges mentioned above:

Return on Invested Capital

Management uses ROIC as a performance measurement to assess efficiency at allocating capital under our control to generate returns. Management believes this metric balances our operating results with asset and liability management, is not impacted by capitalization decisions and correlates with shareholder value creation. In addition, it is easily computed, communicated and understood. ROIC also provides management a measure of our profitability on a basis more comparable to historical or future periods.

37



ROIC assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operating performance. We believe the calculation of ROIC provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance during the year.

We calculate ROIC as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus change in fair value of contingent consideration and other non-GAAP adjustments ("adjusted EBITDA"), divided by invested capital. Invested capital is defined as average equity plus average daily funded interest-bearing debt for the period. The following table summarizes annualized ROIC for the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our $400 million revolving credit facility. Our business requires significant investment in working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventory, partially financed through our accounts payable to vendors, cash generated from operations and revolving lines of credit. In general, as our sales volumes increase, our net investment in working capital increases, which typically results in decreased cash flow from operating activities. Conversely, when sales volumes decrease, our net investment in working capital typically decreases, which typically results in increased cash flow from operating activities.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance totaled $22.7 million at December 31, 2018 , compared to $25.5 million at June 30, 2018 , including $14.1 million and $20.3 million held outside of the United States at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , respectively. Checks released but not yet cleared in the amounts of $5.3 million and $5.7 million are included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , respectively.

We conduct business in many locations throughout the world where we generate and use cash. We provide for U.S. income taxes for the earnings of our Canadian subsidiary. Earnings from all other geographies will continue to be considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment. Due to recent tax legislation in the United States, we are required to estimate a one-time transition tax on repatriation of foreign earnings during the six months ended December 31, 2018 . See Note 12 - Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
 
Our net investment in working capital at December 31, 2018 was $759.0 million compared to $651.9 million at June 30, 2018 and $754.5 million at December 31, 2017 . Our net investment in working capital is affected by several factors such as fluctuations in sales volume, net income, timing of collections from customers, increases and decreases to inventory levels, payments to vendors, as well as cash generated or used by other financing and investing activities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $51.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018 , compared to $87.2 million used in operating activities in the prior-year period. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2018 is primarily attributable to increases in inventory and accounts receivable, partially offset by cash from net income and increases in accounts payable. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2017 is primarily attributable to increased inventory and accounts receivable balances, partially offset by cash from net income. Changes in working capital balances for the six months ended December 31, 2017 exclude balances acquired from POS Portal at acquisition.

The number of days sales outstanding ("DSO"), excluding Intelisys and other recent acquisitions, was 58 days at December 31, 2018 , compared to 59 days at June 30, 2018 and 60 days at December 31, 2017 . Inventory turned 5.4 times, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared to 5.4 for the previous quarter, and 6.2 times in the prior-year quarter.

For the six months ended December 31, 2018 , cash provided by financing activities totaled $86.8 million compared to $212.5 million provided in the prior-year period. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2018 was primarily from net borrowings on the revolving credit facility, partially offset by cash used to pay contingent consideration payments to the former shareholders of Intelisys and Network1. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2017 was primarily from net borrowings on the revolving credit facility, partially offset by cash used to pay contingent consideration payments to the former shareholders of Network1, Intelisys and POS Portal.

We have a multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks that matures on April 3, 2022 . On August 8, 2017, the Company amended the Amended Credit Agreement to increase the committed credit facility from $300 million to $400 million . The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit and has a $200 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to $600 million , subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase.

At our option, loans denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon the our ratio of total debt (excluding accounts payable and accrued liabilities) to EBITDA, measured as of the end of the most recent year or quarter, as applicable, for which financial statements have been delivered to the Lenders (the "Leverage Ratio"). This spread ranges from 1.00% to 2.125% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 1.125% for alternate base rate loans. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic assets of our domestic assets as well as certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be material under the Amended Credit Agreement and a pledge of up to 65% of capital stock or other equity interest in each Guarantor (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). We were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of December 31, 2018 .

There was $367.3 million and $244.0 million in outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , respectively.

On a gross basis, we borrowed $1,126.3 million and repaid $1,003.0 million on our revolving credit facility in the six months ended December 31, 2018 . In the prior-year period, on a gross basis, we borrowed $1,279.2 million and repaid $1,015.7 million . The average daily balances during the six month periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $296.1 million and $261.8 million , respectively. There were no stand-by letters of credit issued under the multi-currency revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 . There was $32.8 million and $156.0 million available for additional borrowings as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , respectively.

As of December 31, 2018 , we were obligated to pay certain earnout payments to the former shareholders of Network1 and Intelisys related to their acquisitions on August 29, 2016 and January 13, 2015, respectively. See Note 9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for a discussion on the liabilities recorded. Future earnout payments for Intelisys are expected to be funded by cash from operations and our existing revolving credit facility. The payment for Network1was funded from our revolving credit facility.

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds under our credit agreements, will provide sufficient resources to meet the present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the company is a party, under which the company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets. 

As of December 31, 2018 , we have made adjustments to our contingent consideration owed to the former shareholders of Intelisys. See Note 9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for a discussion on the liabilities recorded. There have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on August 28, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those that are important to our financial condition and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Different amounts would be reported under different operating conditions or under alternative assumptions. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results from Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018 for a complete discussion.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our principal exposure to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of our business is a result of our selective use of bank debt and transacting business in foreign currencies in connection with our foreign operations.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities, which include revolving credit facilities with a group of banks used to maintain liquidity and fund our business operations. The nature and amount of our debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on borrowings on our revolving credit facility and variable rate long-term debt, net of the impact of the interest rate swap, would have resulted in approximately $2.8 million and $2.3 million increase or decrease annually in pre-tax income for the periods ending December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , respectively.

We evaluate our interest rate risk and may use interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations associated with our current and long-term debt. At December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 we had $372.4 million and $249.4 million , respectively, in variable rate long-term debt and borrowings under the revolving credit facility. In connection with the borrowings under the credit facility including potential future amendments or extensions of the facility, we entered into an interest rate swap maturing on April 3, 2022 with a notional amount of $50 million to receive interest at a floating rate LIBOR and pay interest at a fixed rate. Our use of derivative instruments has the potential to expose us to certain market risks including the possibility of (1) our hedging activities not being as effective as anticipated in reducing the volatility of our cash flows, (2) the counterparty not performing its obligations under the applicable hedging arrangement, (3) the hedging arrangement being imperfect or ineffective or (4) the terms of the swap or associated debt changing. We seek to lessen such risks by having established a policy to identify, control and manage market risks which may arise from changes in interest rates, as well as limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from our foreign operations in Canada, Latin America, Brazil, Europe and South Africa. These risks include transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries. In the normal course of the business, foreign exchange risk is managed by the use of currency options and forward contracts to hedge these exposures as well as balance sheet netting of exposures. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations may cause our international results to fluctuate significantly when translated into U.S. dollars. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates would have resulted in approximately a $1.1 million and $0.4 million increase or decrease in pre-tax income from translation for periods ending December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 , respectively. These risks may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on our financial results in the future.

Our senior management has approved a foreign exchange hedging policy to reduce foreign currency exposure. Our policy is to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed and not to enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We monitor our risk associated with the volatility of certain foreign currencies against our functional currencies and enter into foreign exchange derivative contracts to minimize short-term currency risks on cash flows. These positions are based upon balance sheet exposures and, in certain foreign currencies, our forecasted purchases and sales. We continually evaluate foreign exchange risk and may enter into foreign exchange transactions in accordance with our policy. Actual variances from these forecasted transactions can adversely impact foreign exchange results. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense (income).

We have elected not to designate our foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments, and therefore, the instruments are marked-to-market with changes in their values recorded in the consolidated income statement each period. Our foreign currencies are primarily Brazilian reais, euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos, Colombian pesos, Chilean pesos, Peruvian nuevos soles and South African rand. At December 31, 2018 , the fair value of our currency forward contracts outstanding was a net payable of $0.1 million. At June 30, 2018 the fair value of our currency forward contracts outstanding was a net receivable of less than $0.1 million . We do not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to lawsuits arising out of operations.
