(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 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, Brazil, additional Latin American countries, 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 at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the results of operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the statements of comprehensive income for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the statements of shareholders' equity for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The results of operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 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, 2019.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies for the three months ended September 30, 2019 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, 2019. 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, 2019.
See Note 11 Leases for a discussion of the policies established upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC Topic 842) in fiscal year 2020.
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 $21.2 million and $7.4 million are included in accounts payable at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, 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 $3.5 million and $3.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Depreciation expense reported as part of cost of goods sold on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements totaled $0.7 million and $1.0 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company's amortization expense reported on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements relates to selling, general and administrative costs, not the cost of selling goods. Intangible amortization expense totaled $5.0 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 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 are 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 is 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. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Entities are required to use the modified retrospective approach of adoption, with the option of applying the requirements of the standard either (1) retrospectively to each prior comparative reporting period presented or (2) retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2019 and applied it at the beginning of the period of adoption. Therefore, upon adoption, financial information and disclosures are not updated for comparative reporting periods under the new standard. Additionally, the Company has elected the transition package of practical expedients upon adoption which, among other things, allows an entity to not reassess the historical lease classification. Upon adoption, the Company recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for both operating and finance leases of approximately $37.0 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of this standard was not material to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. See Note 11 for additional lease disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326). In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which provides supplemental guidance and clarification to ASU 2016-13 and must be adopted concurrently. The pronouncement revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 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. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The presentation and disclosure requirements apply prospectively. The Company adopted the standard in the current fiscal year, and it had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 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.
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.
(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 and 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.
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 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 connecting independent sales partners with service providers or suppliers who offer telecom and cloud services to end-customers. Intelisys’ sales partners earn commission payments from those service providers or suppliers on end-customer sales. Intelisys provides commission processing services to sales partners, earning a percentage of the commission stream. Because the Company acts as an agent, revenue is recognized on a net basis.
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 returns allowance based on historical experience and reduces revenue accordingly. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration for rebates and incentives 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.

Short-term Borrowings
The Company has a bank overdraft facility with Bank of America used by its European subsidiaries. The facility allows the Company to disburse checks in excess of bank balances up to $14.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent for up to seven days. Borrowings under the overdraft facility bear interest at a rate equal to a spread of 1.0% over the applicable currency's London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") with a zero percent floor. Since borrowings outstanding under the overdraft facility at September 30, 2019 were denominated in euros, which bore a negative LIBOR rate, the interest applicable to the Company was 1.0%. There was no outstanding balance on the overdraft facility at September 30, 2019 and $4.6 million outstanding at June 30, 2019.
Credit Facility
The Company has a multi-currency senior secured credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). On April 30, 2019, the Company amended this credit facility to expand the borrowing capacity and extend its maturity to April 30, 2024. The Amended Credit Agreement includes (i) a five-year $350 million multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility and (ii) a five-year $150 million senior secured term loan facility. Pursuant to an “accordion feature,” the Company may increase its borrowings up to an additional $250 million for a total of up to $750 million, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase. The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to $50 million for letters of credit, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1.1 million in connection with the amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement on April 30, 2019. These costs were capitalized to other non-current 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 under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the LIBOR or alternate base rate depending upon the Company's net leverage ratio, calculated as total debt less up to $15 million of unrestricted domestic cash to trailing four-quarter adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") (the "Leverage Ratio"). This spread ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.75% for alternate base rate loans. Additionally, the Company is charged commitment fees ranging from 0.15% to 0.30%, depending upon the Leverage Ratio, on non-utilized borrowing availability, excluding swingline loans. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for the substitution of a new interest rate benchmark upon the transition from LIBOR, subject to agreement between the Company and the administrative agent. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement 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. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, the payment of cash dividends is restricted.
At September 30, 2019, the spread in effect was 1.750% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.750% for alternate base rate loans. The commitment fee rate in effect at September 30, 2019 was 0.30%. The Amended Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants. Specifically, the Company’s Leverage Ratio must be less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 at all times. In addition, the Company’s Interest Coverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) must be at least 3.00 to1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter. In the event of a default, customary remedies are available to the lenders, including acceleration and increased interest rates. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility at September 30, 2019.
The average daily outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility, excluding the term loan facility, during the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $250.8 million and $265.4 million, respectively. There was $133.5 million and $149.2 million available for additional borrowings at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively. There were no letters of credit issued under the multi-currency revolving credit facility at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
Mississippi Revenue Bond
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. At September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this bond. The interest rates at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019 were 2.917% and 3.280%, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs
At September 30, 2019, net debt issuance costs associated with the credit facility and bond totaled $1.9 million and are being amortized through the maturity date of each respective debt instrument.
(8) Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company's results of operations could be materially impacted by significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In an effort to manage the exposure to these risks, 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 consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges 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, and Peruvian nuevo sol. 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 $91.0 million and $110.7 million for the exchange of foreign currencies at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, 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 included in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Net foreign currency 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 and expense. Foreign currency 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, British pound versus the euro and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar.
Interest Rates - The Company’s earnings are also affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on interest expense from floating rate debt instruments. The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by using interest rate swaps to hedge this exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating rate debt. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which was subsequently settled, and entered into a new amended agreement on April 30, 2019. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $100.0 million, with a $50.0 million tranche scheduled to mature on April 30, 2024 and a $50.0 million tranche scheduled to mature April 30, 2026. 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 quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
The components of the cash flow hedge included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 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). 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. See Note 8 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
The Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities at the acquisition date of Network1 and Intelisys 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 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 Loss.
Network1 and Intelisys are part of the Company's Worldwide Communications & Services segment. The final earnout payment due to former shareholders of Network1 was paid during fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the Company's contingent considerations for the Intelisys earnout, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

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. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company will revalue the contingent consideration liability 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 liability 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 markets.
|
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 liability related to Intelisys at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019 were as follows.

(a) Weighted average rates identified for each significant unobservable input relate to the valuation of the Intelisys contingent consideration.
Network1
The final earnout payment was paid to the former shareholders of Network1 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. There was minimal change in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.
Intelisys
The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Intelisys recognized at September 30, 2019 was $80.4 million, of which $38.5 million is classified as current. The expense from the change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement totaled $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The change in fair value for the quarter is primarily driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount and better than expected actual results. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range up to $86.0 million, based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of adjusted earnings.
The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Intelisys recognized at September 30, 2018 was $69.8 million, of which $40.5 million was classified as current. The expense from the change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement totaled $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The change in fair value for the prior year quarter is primarily driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount, as well as improved actual results.

(11) Leases
In accordance with ASC 842, at contract inception the Company determines if a contract contains a lease by assessing whether the contract contains an identified asset and whether the Company has the ability to control the asset. The Company also determines if the lease meets the classification criteria for an operating lease versus a finance lease under ASC 842. Substantially all of the Company's leases are operating leases for real estate, warehouse and office equipment ranging in duration from 1 year to 10 years. The Company has elected not to record short-term operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating leases are recorded as other non-current assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has finance leases for information technology equipment expiring in fiscal year 2022. Finance leases are recorded as property and equipment, net, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gross amount of the balances recorded related to finance leases is immaterial to the financial statements at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company generally is not able to determine the rate implicit in its leases and has elected to apply an incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the present value determination, which is based on the Company's cost of borrowings for the relevant terms of each lease and geographical economic factors. Certain operating lease agreements contain options to extend or terminate the lease. The lease term used is adjusted for these options when the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the option. Operating lease expense in recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments not based on a rate or index, such as costs for common area maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Further, the Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize all lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, where applicable.

(12) 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 $4 million to $6 million for fiscal year 2020, primarily for rental equipment investments, IT investments and facility improvements.
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 for future pre-acquisition contingency settlements or to be released to the sellers was $6.1 million and $6.5 million, at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively.
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 at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019:

(13) Income Taxes
Income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 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. There were no material discrete items recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
The Company’s effective tax rate of 26.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 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.
The Company has provided for U.S. income taxes for the current earnings of its Canadian subsidiary and will continue to distribute the earnings of its Canadian subsidiary. Earnings from Brazil will continue to be considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment and all other foreign geographies are immaterial. It has been the practice of the Company to reinvest those earnings in the businesses outside the United States. Apart from the one-time transition tax recognized in accordance with the U.S. government enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) during fiscal year 2018, any incremental deferred income taxes on the unremitted foreign earnings are not expected to be material.
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 $1.3 million and $1.2 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively. Of this total at September 30, 2019, approximately $1.0 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, 2014.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. At September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, accrued for interest and penalties, respectively.
Financial results in Belgium produced a pre-tax loss of approximately $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The valuation of Belgium's net deferred tax asset will depend on future profitability and potential future transactions. However, in the judgment of management it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.
