Item 1 - Business
As used herein, the terms “Company,” “Kimball International,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Kimball International, Inc., the Registrant, and its subsidiaries. Reference to a year relates to a fiscal year, ended June 30 of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year unless the context indicates otherwise. Additionally, references to the first, second, third, and fourth quarters refer to those respective quarters of the fiscal year indicated.
Overview
Kimball International was incorporated in Indiana in 1939. Our corporate headquarters is located at 1600 Royal Street, Jasper, Indiana. For over 70 years, Kimball International has created design driven furnishings that have helped our customers shape spaces into places, bringing possibility to life by enabling collaboration, discovery, wellness, and relaxation. We go to market through our family of brands: Kimball, Kimball Health, National, Etc. by National, Kimball Hospitality, and D’style by Kimball Hospitality. Our values and high integrity are demonstrated daily by living our purpose and guiding principles that establish us as an employer of choice. We build success by growing long-term relationships with customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.
We have been in the furniture business since 1950. Our end markets include the workplace, health and hospitality markets. Our workplace end market includes sales to the commercial, financial, government and education vertical markets. Through each of our brands, we offer a wide range of possibilities for creating functional environments that convey just the right image for each unique setting, as furniture solutions are tailored to the specific end user’s needs and demands. The workplace is evolving to optimize human interaction, and Kimball and National provide residentially inspired furniture solutions. While our rich heritage of wood craftsmanship remains, our new product portfolio incorporates the use of mixed materials, satisfying the marketplace’s need for multi-functional, open accommodations throughout all industries. Our furniture solutions are used in collaborative and open work spaces, conference and meeting/huddle rooms, training rooms, private offices, learning areas, classrooms, lobby/reception areas, and dining/café areas with a vast mix of wood, metal, laminate, paint, fabric, solid surface, and plastic options. To accommodate new ways of working we have added divider screens that are intended to reduce the spread of pathogens while enhancing existing products and blending new solutions into the workplace. As the need to work from home continues, we are offering new solutions to help redefine the future of work by building a work-from-home portfolio. In addition, we offer products designed specifically for the health market, such as casegoods and seating for patient exam rooms and lounge areas. In response to COVID-19, Kimball and National designed quick response programs that offer a broad furniture portfolio with quick-ship options. These pre-configured solutions offer easy-to-order and quick-to-receive vignettes for a variety of spaces. In

the hospitality industry, Kimball Hospitality works with leading designers, purchasing agents, and hotel owners to create furniture that extends the unique ambiance of a property into guest rooms and public spaces by providing furniture solutions for hotel properties and mixed use commercial and residential developments. Hospitality products include, but are not limited to, headboards, tables, seating, vanities, casegoods, lighting, and products enhanced with technology features utilizing a broad mix of wood, metal, stone, laminate, finish, glass, and fabric options.
Recent Business Changes
‘Kimball International Connect’ Strategy
In May 2019, Kimball International introduced a comprehensive strategy to connect our purpose, our people, and our brands to drive growth and unlock the Company’s full potential. Kimball International Connect seeks to enable the power of our people and position our organization to engage at higher levels of collaboration and interdependence. We believe this strategy will result in enhanced shareholder value over the long term.
Our Kimball International Connect Strategy is comprised of four pillars:
▪Inspire Our People: Leveraging our legacy of a bold and entrepreneurial spirit, we are working to cultivate a high-performance, caring culture. We unveiled our new purpose to our employees on May 9, 2019 and are investing in our training, technology and systems to remain an employer of choice and a great place to work.
▪Build Our Capabilities: We created center-led functions, including finance, human resources, information technology and legal and centralized supply chain leadership to reduce duplication, deliver efficiencies, and drive consistency. We are also adopting new ways of working to ensure the use of common best practices and approaches. To achieve our goals, we established a Program Management Office to oversee execution.
▪Fuel Our Future: We are driving lean throughout the organization, removing duplication at the business level, and infusing capital to accelerate efficiencies. Related to this, we are employing a more metrics-based approach and driving toward more formal standardized operating practices.
▪Accelerate Our Growth: We are continuing to advance new product development across our brands, selectively expanding our verticals and channels, including health and e-commerce, and driving commercial excellence. We believe by being our customers’ first choice for shaping places that bring collaboration, discovery, wellness and relaxation to life, we will capture greater market share.
‘Kimball International Connect 2.0’ Strategy
In August 2020, Kimball International announced Connect 2.0, which centers around accelerating our growth. The four pillars of our previously announced strategy remain constant: inspire our people with a purpose driven and high performance culture, build our capabilities by expanding our work on innovation, fuel our future through the dedication to cost savings, and accelerate our growth. Connect 2.0 is designed to accelerate the growth of Kimball International and enable us to effectively manage through the current economic downturn, by driving market share gains as well as yielding additional cost savings. The Company will be reorganized into four market centric business units which are Workplace, Health, Hospitality, and eBusiness that will accelerate our ability to redesign and reimagine the new workplace, build a new work from home portfolio, continue assembling experts in health, and expand our hospitality business into other commercial direct sales environments. The dedicated eBusiness unit will take a leadership role in establishing all e-commerce across our brands and end markets. Each of these four business units will be supported by the agility and efficiency of Global Operations and the streamlined center-led structure that we implemented in year one of our strategy and the transformation restructuring plan described below.
Transformation Restructuring Plan
In June 2019, we announced a transformation restructuring plan to optimize resources for future growth, improve efficiency, and build capabilities across our organization. We believe the transformation restructuring plan has established a more cost-efficient structure to better align our operations with our long-term strategic goals. The transformation restructuring plan includes the following:
•We reviewed our overall manufacturing facility footprint to reduce excess capacity and gain efficiencies by centralizing manufacturing operations. We ceased operations at a leased seating manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia, consolidated a David Edward production facility in Red Lion, Pennsylvania into our Baltimore, Maryland facility.
•The creation of center-led functions for finance, human resources, information technology and legal functions resulted in the standardization of processes and the elimination of duplication. In addition, we centralized our supply chain
4
efforts to maximize supplier value and plan to drive more efficient practices and operations within our logistics function.
•Kimball brand selling resources were reallocated to higher-growth markets. We also ceased use of four leased furniture showrooms across our brands during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and recognized impairment of the lease and associated leasehold improvements. Additional impairment was recognized in our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 due to degradation of sublease expectations resulting from the current economic environment.
These efforts, which are substantially complete except for subleasing of exited showrooms, generated pre-tax savings of approximately $10.5 million in fiscal year 2020. During fiscal years 2020 and 2019, we recognized $8.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of pre-tax restructuring expense.
Transformation Restructuring Plan Phase 2
In August 2020, we announced the second phase of our transformation restructuring plan that will align our business units to a new market-centric orientation and is expected to yield additional cost savings that will enable us to effectively manage through the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan builds on the initial strategy and the transformation restructuring plan announced in June 2019. The following is a summary of the activities we will be undertaking pursuant to phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan:
•As part of the previously announced plan to consolidate manufacturing of all brands into one world-class global operations group, we are streamlining our manufacturing facilities by leveraging production capabilities across all facilities, establishing centers of excellence, and setting up processes to facilitate flexing of product between facilities in response to volume fluctuations. We are also reviewing our overall facility footprint to identify opportunities to reduce capacity and gain efficiencies.
•As discussed above as part of our Connect 2.0 strategy, the Company will be reorganized into four market centric business units which are Workplace, Health, Hospitality and eBusiness.
•We will streamline our workforce to align with the new organizational structure and respond to lower volumes created by the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a more efficient organization to deliver on our Connect 2.0 strategy.
Phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan will begin immediately, and we expect a substantial majority of the underlying activities of these aforementioned actions to be completed within two years.
We currently estimate we will incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $17.0 million to $18.0 million related to the initiatives under phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan.
Acquisition of David Edward Furniture, Inc. (“David Edward”)
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain specified limited liabilities of David Edward headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. David Edward is a premier designer and manufacturer of contract furniture, sold in the health, corporate, education, and premium hospitality markets. David Edward products are generally specified by architects and sold primarily in the North American market. The David Edward collection by Kimball consists of classic and contemporary designs, focused primarily in the seating, tables, and ancillary furniture categories. In conjunction with the asset acquisition, we leased two existing David Edward production facilities in Baltimore, Maryland and Red Lion, Pennsylvania. The cash paid for the acquisition totaled $4.3 million. We consolidated the David Edward production facility in Red Lion, Pennsylvania into our Baltimore, Maryland facility near the end of our fiscal year 2020 as part of our transformation restructuring plan. Our focus is on investing in new equipment and a redesigned layout in Baltimore that will allow us to substantially increase capacity, improve efficiency, reduce lead times, and deliver on the high design, high quality products. See Note 3 - Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the acquisition.
Acquisition of D’style, Inc.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we acquired certain assets of D’style, Inc. (“D’style”), headquartered in Chula Vista, California. The acquisition expanded our hospitality offerings beyond guest rooms to public spaces and provided new mixed material manufacturing capabilities. As part of this acquisition, we also acquired all of the capital stock of Diseños de Estilo S.A. de C.V. headquartered in Tijuana, Mexico, another member of the D’style group which manufactures exclusively for D’style, strengthening our North American manufacturing footprint and serving as a distribution channel to the Mexico and Latin America hospitality markets. The cash paid for the acquisition totaled $18.2 million.
5
Outsourcing of Shipping Function
During fiscal year 2018, we outsourced the remainder of our outbound shipping that was previously transported by our Company-owned shipping fleet to a dedicated freight provider and sold our fleet of over-the-road tractors and trailers. The outsourcing to a dedicated freight provider partially mitigated increased transportation costs during fiscal year 2018 from non-dedicated freight carriers. The dedicated freight provider operates transportation equipment with our Company branding. We continue to operate Company-owned tractors and trailers to move products between our production facilities and distribution warehouses.
Seasonality
The impact of seasonality on our revenue includes lower sales to educational institutions during our second and third fiscal quarters, lower sales of hospitality furniture during times of high hotel occupancy such as the summer months, and lower sales in our third fiscal quarter due to the buying season of the government.
Locations
As of June 30, 2020, our products were primarily produced at ten Company-owned or leased manufacturing facilities: six located in Indiana, two in Kentucky, one in Maryland, and one in Mexico. We also engage with third-party manufacturers within the U.S. as well as internationally to produce select finished goods and accessories for our brands. As part of our transformation restructuring plan, near the end of our fiscal year 2020, we exited our leased manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia, and are evaluating our production capabilities and capacity across our organization to identify additional opportunities.
As of June 30, 2020, nine furniture showrooms were maintained in six cities in the United States. As part of our transformation restructuring plan, we ceased use of four of our furniture showrooms during our first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Office space is leased in Dongguan, Guangdong, China and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to facilitate sourcing of select finished goods and components from the Asia Pacific Region. We lease office and manufacturing space in Baltimore, Maryland, Chula Vista, California and Tijuana, Mexico. We exited the Red Lion, Pennsylvania leased facility near the end of our fiscal year 2020 as that facility was consolidated into our Baltimore, Maryland facility.
Financial information by geographic area for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2020 is included in Note 18 - Geographic Information of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and is incorporated herein by reference.
Marketing Channels
Our furniture is marketed to end users by both independent and employee sales representatives, office furniture dealers, wholesalers, brokers, designers, purchasing companies, catalog houses, and eCommerce services. Customers can access our products globally through a variety of distribution channels.
We currently categorize our sales by the following end markets:
Workplace - Our workplace end market includes sales to the commercial, financial, government and education vertical markets. We are a full-facility provider offering products for a variety of commercial applications including: office, collaborative and open plan, lobby-lounge, conferencing and meeting/huddle, training, dining/café, learning, lobby and reception, and other public spaces. Banking and financial offices require affordable, functional, and stylish environments. Our versatile and customizable furnishings offer sophisticated styles for reception areas, employee work spaces, executive offices, and boardrooms. We also supply office furniture, including desks, tables, seating, bookcases and filing and storage units for federal, state, and local government offices, as well as other government-related entities. We hold two Federal Supply Service contracts with the General Services Administration (“GSA”) that are subject to government subcontract reporting requirements. We partner with multiple general purchasing organizations that assist public agencies such as state and local governments with furniture purchases. Our education products are sold to K-12, higher education, vocational training and other learning institutions, and the products are focused on both enhancing learning and creating social environments. We offer flexible, collaborative, and technology-driven furnishings designed to make students and faculty more productive and comfortable. We equip hallways, lounges, and other gathering spaces with versatile furniture that extends learning outside the classroom with areas designed for individual, one-on-one, and larger group use.
Health - Our health products are focused on meeting healthcare professional needs and preferences in flexible, adaptable, and collaborative spaces while putting the patient at the center of care. Our furnishings enable exam rooms to be a flexible space that can be used for consultation, telehealth and specific treatments or examinations. The products offered for areas surrounding the treatment areas are designed to be welcoming and relaxing to support the families of the patients. Our health products are offered to value-conscious healthcare customers, including hospitals, clinics, physician office buildings, long-term care facilities, and assisted living facilities throughout the country.
6
Hospitality - We offer a complete package of products for guest rooms and public spaces plus service support to the hospitality industry. We partner with the most recognized hotel brands to meet their specific requirements for properties throughout the world by working with a worldwide manufacturing base to offer the best solution to fulfill the project.
A table showing our net sales by end market is included in Part II, Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Major Competitive Factors
Our products are sold in the contract furniture and hospitality furniture industries. These industries have similar major competitive factors, which include price in relation to quality and appearance, product design, the utility of the product, including adaptability and cleanability, supplier lead time, reliability of on-time delivery, sustainability, and the ability to respond to requests for special and non-standard products. We offer payment terms similar to industry standards and in unique circumstances may grant alternate payment terms.
Certain industries are more price sensitive than others, but all expect on-time, damage-free delivery. In addition to the many options available on our standard furniture products, custom furniture is produced to customer specifications and shipping timelines on a project basis. Our Kimball brand Quickship for Care program offers shipping in 5 days or less for health and wellness solutions such as mobile storage, space division products, and seating and tables for exam areas with cleanable finish options. Our National brand has a quick response program that offers a broad furniture portfolio that ships in 48 hours or delivers in 10 days or less.
Competitors
There are numerous furniture manufacturers competing within the marketplace, with a significant number of competitors offering similar products.
Our competition includes furniture manufacturers such as Steelcase Inc., Herman Miller, Inc., Knoll, Inc., HNI Corporation, and a large number of smaller privately-owned furniture manufacturers, both domestic and foreign-based.
Working Capital
We do not believe that we, or the contract furniture or hospitality furniture industries in general, have any special practices or special conditions affecting working capital items that are significant for understanding our furniture business. We do receive advance payments from customers on select furniture projects, primarily in the hospitality industry.
Raw Material Availability
Certain components used in the production of furniture are manufactured internally and are generally readily available, as are other raw materials used in the production of wood and non-wood furniture. Certain fabricated seating components, wood frame assemblies as well as finished furniture products, electrical components, stone, fabrics, and fabricated metal components, which are generally readily available, are sourced on a global scale in an effort to provide quality products at the lowest total cost. In fiscal year 2019, the U.S. government imposed tariffs on furniture products, parts, and components. The U.S. government continues to evaluate the ongoing need for, and the amount of, tariffs, and if further or increased tariffs are assessed, the cost and availability of both domestic and foreign sourced product and components could be further impacted. The COVID-19 global pandemic has also affected both domestic and global supply chains. Disruptions have eased but if COVID-19 impacts worsen, cost and availability of raw materials could be impacted.
Order Backlog
The aggregate sales price of products pursuant to open orders, which may be canceled by the customer, was as follows:

June 30,
2020 |
June 30,
2019 |
|||||||||
| Order Backlog | $ | 151.1 | $ | 161.7 | |||||||
The open orders as of June 30, 2020 are expected to be filled within fiscal year 2021, with $90 million expected to be filled during our first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The decline in the order backlog at June 30, 2020 was driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Open orders may not be indicative of future sales trends.
Intellectual Property
In connection with our business operations, we hold both trademarks and patents in various countries and continuously have additional pending trademarks and patents. The intellectual property which we believe to be the most significant to the
7
Company includes: Kimball, National, D’style, David Edward, Etc.(pending), Fringe, Waveworks, Xsite, Narrate, Pairings, Respitality, and Allan Copley Designs, which are all registered trademarks, and the unregistered trademarks Priority and Whittaker. Our patents expire at various times depending on the patent’s date of issuance.
Environment and Energy Matters
Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations with respect to environmental matters. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with present laws and regulations and that there are no material liabilities related to such items.
We are dedicated to excellence, leadership, and stewardship in matters of protecting the environment and communities in which we have operations. Reinforcing our commitment to the environment, five of our showrooms and one non-manufacturing location were designed under the guidelines of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Commercial Interiors program. One manufacturing facility was designed using the LEED Operations and Maintenance program guidelines. Our National brand headquarters is Fitwel certified, which is a building certification that supports healthier workplace environments to improve occupant health and productivity. Our Kimball brand headquarters received the WELL Health-Safety Rating that focuses on operational policies, maintenance protocols, emergency plans and shareholder engagement strategies to help organizations prepare their spaces for re-entry in a post COVID-19 environment.
We believe that continued compliance with foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations, which have been enacted relating to the protection of the environment, will not have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. We believe capital expenditures for environmental control equipment during the next two fiscal years ending June 30, 2022 will not represent a material portion of total capital expenditures during those years.
Our manufacturing operations require the use of natural gas and electricity. Federal and state regulations may control the allocation of fuels available to us, but to date we have experienced no interruption of production due to such regulations. In our wood furniture manufacturing plants, a portion of energy requirements are satisfied internally by the use of our own scrap wood produced during the manufacturing of product.

Item 1A - Risk Factors
The following important risk factors could affect future results and events, causing results and events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements made in this report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Such factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and should be carefully considered before deciding to invest in, or retain, shares of our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not currently know about, we currently believe are immaterial or we have not predicted may also affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Because of these and other factors, past performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, an adverse effect on our business. The COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by various governments and third parties to combat the spread of COVID-19 (including, in
8
some cases, mandatory quarantines and other suspensions of non-essential business operations) have led to significant disruptions in our manufacturing and distribution operations and could also disrupt our supply chains, including temporary reductions or pauses in operations at many of our and our suppliers’ manufacturing and distribution locations around the world. New order rates have also slowed in all three markets. We expect that our revenues will continue to be negatively impacted while the impact of COVID-19 continues. Our dealers and suppliers are also experiencing similar negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to preserve cash during this period of time, we have reduced spending on discretionary expenditures, which may have a material impact on our growth in the future.
The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have had, or are likely to have, a negative impact on many of our customers, particularly those in the hospitality market and, thus, may negatively affect our future revenues and increase credit risk. The severity of the impact on our business will depend in part on the delay of plans to return to the workplace balanced with working from home, prolonged reduction in travel, and the speed of the recovery of economic conditions globally, all of which are highly uncertain and out of our control. The duration and severity of the impact on our business, our industry and the global economy are not yet known and could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We may not be successful in implementing and managing our Kimball International Connect Strategies. In May 2019, we introduced our comprehensive Kimball International Connect strategy that is intended to connect our purpose, our people, and our brands to drive growth. In August 2020, we announced the continuation of our strategy that we call Connect 2.0 which centers around accelerating our growth. Our plan is designed to enable us to effectively manage through the current economic downturn, by driving market share gains for the Company and yielding additional cost savings. The execution of these strategies involves risk, as management’s focus and Company resources could be diverted from our core operations, growth in our business could lead to operating inefficiencies, our corporate culture could be disrupted, which could lead to employee attrition, and our revenues could fall or could fail to grow as intended, any of which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our restructuring efforts may not be successful. In June 2019, we announced a transformation restructuring plan to optimize resources for future growth, improve efficiency, and build capabilities across our organization. A critical component of our transformation restructuring plan is the transfer of production among facilities, which may result in management’s focus being diverted from our core operations, manufacturing inefficiencies, and excess working capital during the transition period. We also created center-led functions for finance, human resources, information technology and legal functions and centralized our supply chain efforts. The transition to center-led functions involves risk, as management’s focus could be diverted from our core operations. In addition, Kimball brand selling resources are being reallocated to higher-growth markets, and we exited four furniture showrooms during fiscal year 2020, which could cause a temporary or permanent decline if revenues are not realized in the higher-growth markets. If our closed leased facilities are not able to be subleased in the future according to our assumptions, we may incur additional impairment charges through restructuring expense.
The second phase of our transformation restructuring plan was announced in August 2020 that will align the Company’s business units to a new market-centric orientation. The Company will streamline manufacturing facilities by leveraging production capabilities across all facilities, establishing centers of excellence, and setting up processes to facilitate flexing of product between facilities in response to volume fluctuations. The Company will be reorganized into four market centric business units which are Workplace, Health, Hospitality, and eBusiness. The Company will streamline its workforce to align with the new organizational structure and respond to lower volumes created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The successful execution of both phases of our transformation restructuring plan is also dependent on the realization of cost savings, and, even if successful, the transformation restructuring plan may not be accomplished as quickly or effectively as anticipated.
Changes to government regulations may significantly increase our operating costs in the United States and abroad. Legislative and regulatory reforms by the U.S. federal and foreign governments could significantly impact our profitability by burdening us with forced cost choices that are difficult to recover with increased pricing. For example:
•We depend on suppliers globally to provide materials, parts, finished goods, and components for use in our products. We utilize both steel and aluminum in our products, most of which is sourced domestically. Tariffs or changes in global trade agreements or in U.S. governmental import/export regulations could cause the landed cost of our products to increase materially and could reduce our net income if we are unable to mitigate the additional cost, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
•We conduct business with entities in Canada and Mexico; therefore, the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), could result in increased regulation on, or otherwise impact, trade between the countries, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
•We import a portion of our wooden furniture products and are thus subject to an anti-dumping tariff specifically on wooden bedroom furniture supplied from China. The tariffs are subject to review and could result in retroactive and
9
prospective tariff rate increases, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
•State and foreign regulations are increasing in many areas, such as hazardous waste disposal, labor relations, employment practices and data privacy, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, among others. Compliance with privacy regulations requires us to change our processes in order to track personal information collected from consumers and implement procedures to obtain consent from consumers regarding the usage of their information. These additional processes, or any violations of these state and foreign regulations, could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We may be unable to purchase a sufficient amount of materials, parts, and components for use in our products at a competitive price, in a timely manner, or at all. We depend on suppliers globally to provide timely delivery of materials, parts, and components for use in our products. We monitor the financial stability of suppliers when feasible, as the loss of a significant supplier could have an adverse impact on our operations. Certain finished products and components we purchase are primarily manufactured in select regions of the world, and issues in those regions could cause manufacturing delays. In addition, delays can occur related to the transport of products and components via container ships, which load and unload through various U.S. ports that sometimes experience congestion. Price increases of commodity components could have an adverse impact on our profitability if we cannot offset such increases with other cost reductions or by price increases to customers. New tariffs or trade regulations which have been and could be imposed by the U.S. federal government may adversely impact our access, price, and delivery of finished products and components from foreign sources, and therefore adversely affect our profitability. Materials we utilize are generally available, but future availability is unknown and could impact our ability to meet customer order requirements. If suppliers fail to meet commitments to us in terms of price, delivery, or quality, it could interrupt our operations and negatively impact our ability to meet commitments to customers.
Uncertain macroeconomic and industry conditions, or a sustained slowdown or significant downturn in our markets, could adversely impact demand for our products and adversely affect operating results. Market demand for our products, which impacts revenues and gross profit, is influenced by a variety of economic and industry factors such as:
•global consumer confidence;
•volatility and the cyclical nature of worldwide economic conditions;
•increased working from home;
•weakness in the global financial markets;
•general corporate profitability of the end markets to which we sell;
•credit availability to the end markets to which we sell;
•service-sector unemployment rates;
•commercial property vacancy rates;
•non-residential construction and refurbishment rates;
•deficit status of many governmental entities which may result in declining purchases of office furniture;
•uncertainty surrounding potential reform of the Affordable Care Act;
•COVID-19 impacts; and
•new hotel and casino construction and refurbishment rates.
We must make decisions based on order volumes in order to achieve manufacturing efficiency. These decisions include determining what level of additional business to accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, and personnel requirements, among various other considerations. We must constantly monitor the changing economic landscape and may modify our strategic direction accordingly. If we do not react quickly enough to the changes in market or economic conditions, it could result in lost customers, decreased market share, and increased operating costs.
We are subject to manufacturing inefficiencies due to the transfer of production among our facilities and other factors. At times we may experience labor or other manufacturing inefficiencies due to factors such as new product introductions, transfers of production among our manufacturing facilities, a sudden decline in sales such as due to COVID-19, a new operating system, or turnover in personnel. Manufacturing inefficiencies could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
A shortage of freight carrier capacity could drive increases in freight costs. We outsource inbound and outbound shipping to third-party contract carriers, including a dedicated freight provider that operates transportation equipment with our Company branding, and other domestic and international contract carriers. We may experience pressure on freight costs if our demand exceeds the capacity of available trucking and ocean fleets, particularly for commercial contract carriers. In periods of tight capacity, we may be unable to mitigate a freight cost increase through our supply chain planning or by increasing prices on our products, which could adversely affect our profitability.
10
Fluctuations in our effective tax rate could have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, mainly in the United States. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes, other tax liabilities, interest, and penalties. Future events could change management’s assessment. We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. We have also made assumptions about the realization of deferred tax assets. Changes in these assumptions could result in a valuation allowance for these assets. Final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is currently reflected by our income tax provisions and accruals, which could adversely impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our failure to retain our existing management team, maintain our engineering, technical, and manufacturing process expertise, or continue to attract qualified personnel could adversely affect our business. We depend significantly on our executive officers and other key personnel. Our success is also dependent on keeping pace with technological advancements and adapting services to provide manufacturing capabilities that meet customers’ changing needs. To do that, we must retain our qualified engineering and technical personnel and successfully anticipate and respond to technological changes in a cost effective and timely manner. Our culture and guiding principles focus on continuous training, motivation, and development of employees, and we strive to attract, motivate, and retain qualified personnel. Failure to retain our executive officers and retain and attract other key personnel could adversely affect our business.
Turnover in personnel could cause manufacturing inefficiencies. The demand for manufacturing labor in certain geographic areas makes retaining experienced production employees difficult. Turnover could result in lost time due to inefficiencies and the need for additional training, which could impact our operating results.
Our sales to the U.S. government are subject to compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements, and noncompliance could expose us to liability or impede current or future business. The U.S. government, as well as state and local governments, can typically terminate or modify their contracts with us either at their discretion or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract, which could expose us to liability and impede our ability to compete in the future for contracts and orders. The failure to comply with regulatory and contractual requirements could subject us to investigations, fines, or other penalties, and violations of certain regulatory and contractual requirements could also result in us being suspended or debarred from future government contracting.
We may pursue acquisitions that present risks and may not be successful. Our sales growth plans may occur through both organic growth and acquisitions. Acquisitions involve many risks that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including:
•difficulties in identifying suitable acquisition candidates and in negotiating and consummating acquisitions on terms attractive to us;
•difficulties in the assimilation of the operations of the acquired company;
•the diversion of resources, including diverting management’s attention from our current operations;
•risks of entering new geographic or product markets in which we have limited or no direct prior experience;
•the potential loss of key customers, suppliers and employees of the acquired company;
•the potential incurrence of indebtedness to fund the acquisition;
•the potential issuance of common stock for some or all of the purchase price, which could dilute ownership interests of our current shareholders;
•the acquired business not achieving anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flow, or market share;
•excess capacity;
•failure to achieve the expected synergies resulting from the acquisition;
•inaccurate assessment of undisclosed, contingent, or other liabilities or problems and unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition;
•incorrect estimates made in accounting for acquisitions, incurrence of non-recurring charges, and write-off of significant amounts of goodwill that could adversely affect our financial results; and
•dilution of earnings.
We may not be successful in launching start-up operations or expanding our business in digital marketplaces. We are committed to growing our business, and therefore from time to time, we may determine that it would be in our best interests to start up a new operation or establish a digital presence to sell certain products, including via our planned eBusiness unit. Start-up operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties, such as funding the capital expenditures related to the start-up operation, developing a management team for the new operation, diversion of management focus away from current operations, and creation of excess capacity. The risks and uncertainties that come with a digital presence include competition from more established competitors in the marketplace, responding quickly to consumer traffic patterns, supporting demand outside our
11
current distribution channels, and additional cybersecurity risks. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our business depends on information technology systems and digital capabilities that are implemented in a manner intended to minimize the risk of a cybersecurity breach or other such threat, including the misappropriation of assets or other sensitive information or data corruption, which could cause operational disruption. An ongoing commitment of significant resources is required to maintain and enhance our existing information systems and implement the new and emerging technology necessary to meet customer expectations and compete in our markets. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access change frequently and are not often recognized until after they have been launched. We recognize that any breach could disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, erode our share value, drive remediation expenses, or increase costs related to the mitigation of, response to, or litigation arising from any such issue. We cannot guarantee that our cybersecurity measures will completely prevent others from obtaining unauthorized access to our enterprise network, system and data.
Many states and the U.S. federal government are increasingly enacting laws and regulations to protect consumers against identity theft and to also protect their privacy. As our business expands globally, we are subject to data privacy and other similar laws in various foreign jurisdictions. If we are the target of a cybersecurity attack resulting in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential data, we may be required to execute costly notification procedures. Compliance with these laws will likely increase the costs of doing business. If we fail to implement appropriate safeguards or to detect and provide prompt notice of unauthorized access as required by some of these laws, we could be subject to potential claims for damages and other remedies, which could harm our business.
We may be exposed to the credit risk of our customers who are adversely affected by weakness in market conditions. Weakness in market conditions, including that caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, may drive an elevated risk of potential bankruptcy of our customers resulting in a greater risk of uncollectible outstanding accounts receivable. The realization of these risks could have a negative impact on our profitability.
Reduction of purchases by or the loss of a significant number of customers could reduce revenues and profitability. Significant declines in the level of purchases by customers or the loss of a significant number of customers could have a material adverse effect on our business. A reduction of, or uncertainty surrounding, government spending could also have an adverse impact on our sales levels. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to fully replace any lost sales, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
We operate in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to compete successfully. The office and hospitality furniture industries are competitive due to numerous global manufacturers competing in the marketplace. In times of reduced demand for office furniture, large competitors may have greater efficiencies of scale or may apply more pressure to their aligned distribution to sell their products exclusively, which could lead to reduced opportunities for our products. While we work toward reducing costs to respond to pricing pressures, if we cannot achieve proportionate reductions in costs, profit margins may suffer.
Our operating results could be adversely affected by increases in the cost of fuel and other energy sources. The cost of energy is a critical component of freight expense and the cost of operating manufacturing facilities. Increases in the cost of energy could reduce our profitability.
A change in our sales mix among our diversified product offerings could have a negative impact on our gross profit margin. Changes in product sales mix could negatively impact our gross margin, as margins of different products vary. We strive to improve the margins of all products, but certain products have lower margins in order to price the product competitively. An increase in the proportion of sales of products with lower margins could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our international operations involve financial and operational risks. We have a manufacturing operation outside the United States in Mexico, and administrative offices in China and Vietnam that coordinate with suppliers in those countries. These international operations are subject to a number of risks, including the following:
•economic and political instability;
•various and potentially conflicting cultural norms and business practices;
•warfare, riots, terrorism, and other forms of violence or geopolitical disruption;
•compliance with laws, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, applicable to U.S. companies doing business outside the United States;
•changes in foreign regulatory requirements and laws;
•health and security issues;
•tariffs and other trade barriers;
12
•potentially adverse tax consequences, including the manner in which multinational companies are taxed in the U.S.;
•COVID-19 impacts; and
•foreign labor practices.
These risks could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates could impact our operating results. Our risk management strategy may include the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Any hedging techniques we implement contain risks and may not be entirely effective. Exchange rate fluctuations could also make our products more expensive than a competitor's products not subject to these fluctuations, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability in international markets.
If efforts to introduce new products or start-up new programs are not successful, this could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline. We regularly introduce new products to keep pace with workplace trends and evolving regulatory and industry requirements, including environmental, health, and safety standards such as sustainability and ergonomic considerations, and similar standards for the workplace and for product performance. Shifts in workforce demographics, the popularity of working from home, working styles, and technology may impact the quantity and types of furniture products purchased by our customers. The introduction of new products or the start-up of new programs require the coordination of the design, manufacturing, and marketing of such products. The design and engineering required for certain new products or programs can take an extended period of time, and further time may be required to achieve customer acceptance. Accordingly, the launch of any particular product or program may be delayed or may be less successful than we originally anticipated. Difficulties or delays in introducing new products or programs, or lack of customer acceptance of new products or programs could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline.
If customers do not perceive our products and services to be innovative and of high quality, our brand and name recognition and reputation could suffer. We believe that establishing and maintaining good brand and name recognition and a good reputation is critical to our business. Promotion and enhancement of our name and brands will depend on the effectiveness of marketing and advertising efforts and on successfully providing design-driven, innovative, and high-quality products and superior services. If customers do not perceive our products and services to be design-driven, innovative, and of high quality, our reputation, brand and name recognition could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The Company’s business involves the potential for product recalls, product liability and other claims against it which could affect its earnings and financial condition. New and existing products may be subject to the United States Consumer Products Safety Act of 1972, as amended by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, which empowers the Consumer Products Safety Commission to exclude from the market products that are found to be unsafe or hazardous, and similar laws under foreign jurisdictions. Under certain circumstances, the Consumer Products Safety Commission or comparable foreign agency could require the Company to repurchase or recall one or more of its products. Any purchase or recall of the Company’s products could be costly and damaging to the Company’s reputation. If the Company were required to remove, or voluntarily removed, its products from the market, the Company’s reputation could be impacted and the Company may have large quantities of finished product that it could not sell. The Company also faces exposure to product liability claims in the event that one of its products is alleged to have resulted in property damage, bodily injury or other adverse effects. In addition to the risk of substantial monetary judgments or fines or penalties that may result from any governmental investigations, product liability claims or regulatory actions could result in negative publicity that could harm the Company’s reputation in the marketplace, adversely impact the value of its end-user brands, or result in an increase in the cost of producing the Company’s products.
A loss of independent sales representatives, dealers, or other sales channels could lead to a decline in sales. Our workplace and health furniture is marketed to end users through both independent and employee sales representatives, furniture dealers, wholesalers, brokers, designers, purchasing companies, catalog houses, and eCommerce services. Our hospitality furniture is marketed to end users using independent sales representatives. A significant loss within any of these sales channels could result in a sales decline and thus have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Additionally, closures of furniture showrooms across our brands could negatively affect our current commercial relationships, which could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Failure to effectively manage working capital may adversely affect our cash flow from operations. We closely monitor inventory and receivable efficiencies and strive to improve these measures of working capital, but customer financial difficulties, cancellation or delay of customer orders, transfers of production among our manufacturing facilities, manufacturing delays, or the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our cash flow from operations.
We could incur losses due to asset impairment. As business conditions change, we must continually evaluate and work toward the optimum asset base. It is possible that certain assets such as, but not limited to, facilities, equipment, lease assets, goodwill, or other intangible assets, could be impaired at some point in the future depending on changing business conditions or
13
internal reorganization plans. If our closed leased facilities are not able to be subleased in the future according to our assumptions, we may incur additional impairment charges. Goodwill and certain intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or when triggering events occur. Such resulting impairment could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.
A failure to comply with the financial covenants under our $75.0 million credit facility could adversely impact us. Our credit facility requires us to comply with certain financial covenants. We believe the most significant covenants under this credit facility are the adjusted leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. More detail on these financial covenants is discussed in Part II, Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2020, we had no borrowings under this credit facility and we had $1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. In the future, a default on the financial covenants under our credit facility could cause an increase in our borrowing rates or could make it more difficult for us to secure future financing, which could adversely affect our financial condition.
Failure to protect our intellectual property could undermine our competitive position. We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights, both in the United States and in foreign countries, through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements and third-party non-disclosure and assignment agreements. Because of the differences in foreign laws concerning proprietary rights, our intellectual property rights do not generally receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as they do in the United States, and therefore in some parts of the world, we have limited protections, if any, for our intellectual property. Competing effectively depends, to a significant extent, on maintaining the proprietary nature of our intellectual property. The degree of protection offered by our various patents and trademarks may not be broad enough to provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company, and patents or trademarks may not be issued on pending or contemplated applications. In addition, not all of our products are covered by patents. It is also possible that our patents and trademarks may be challenged, invalidated, canceled, narrowed, or circumvented.
We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their intellectual property rights and incur substantial litigation or other costs. Prior to launching major new products in our key markets, we normally evaluate existing intellectual property rights. However, our competitors may have filed for patent protection that is not, at the time of our evaluation, a matter of public knowledge. Our efforts to identify and avoid infringing upon third parties' intellectual property rights may not be successful. We could be notified of a claim regarding intellectual property rights, which could lead us to spend time and money to defend or address the claim. Even if the claim is without merit, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.
Our insurance may not adequately protect us from liabilities related to product defects. We maintain product liability and other insurance coverage that we believe to be generally in accordance with industry practices, but our insurance coverage does not extend to field visits to repair, retrofit or replace defective products, or to product recalls. As a result, our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us fully against substantial claims and costs that may arise from liabilities related to product defects, particularly if we have a large number of defective products that we must repair, retrofit, replace, or recall. Additionally, the cost of insurance for a given level of coverage may increase which may impact profitability or lead us to reduce insurance coverage levels.
Increases in the cost of providing employee healthcare benefits could reduce our profitability. There may continue to be upward pressure on the cost of providing healthcare benefits to our employees. We are self-insured for healthcare benefits, so we incur the cost of claims, including catastrophic claims that may occasionally occur, with employees bearing only a limited portion of healthcare costs through employee healthcare premium withholdings. Healthcare claims declined when COVID-19 hit as elective procedures were delayed. We expect there to be an increase in claims when employees choose to have elective procedures completed. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in limiting cost increases, and continued upward pressure could reduce our profitability.
We are subject to extensive environmental regulation and significant potential environmental liabilities. Our past and present operation and ownership of manufacturing plants and real property are subject to extensive federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to discharges in air, water, and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances. In addition, the increased prevalence of global climate issues may result in new regulations that may negatively impact us. We cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted or what environmental conditions may be found to exist with respect to our facilities and real property. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may require additional expenditures, some of which could be material. In addition, any investigations or remedial efforts relating to environmental matters could involve material costs or otherwise result in material liabilities.
14
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may impact our production schedules and, in turn, negatively impact profitability. Natural disasters or other catastrophic events, including severe weather, terrorist attacks, power interruptions, pandemics, and fires, could disrupt operations and likewise our ability to produce or deliver products. Our manufacturing operations require significant amounts of energy, including natural gas and oil, and governmental regulations may control the allocation of such fuels. Employees are an integral part of our business, and events such as a pandemic could reduce the availability of employees reporting for work. In the event we experience a temporary or permanent interruption in our ability to produce or deliver product, revenues could be reduced, and our business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, catastrophic events, or the threat thereof, can adversely affect U.S. and world economies, and could result in delayed or lost sales of our products. In addition, any continuing disruption in our computer system could adversely affect our ability to receive and process customer orders, manufacture products, and ship products on a timely basis, and could adversely affect relations with our customers, potentially resulting in a reduction in orders from customers or a loss of customers. We maintain insurance to help protect us from costs relating to some of these matters, but such insurance may not be sufficient or paid in a timely manner to us in the event of such an interruption.
The value of our common stock may experience substantial fluctuations for reasons over which we may have little control. The value of our common stock could fluctuate substantially based on a variety of factors, including, among others:
•actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results;
•announcements concerning our Company, competitors, or industry;
•overall volatility of the stock market;
•changes in the financial estimates of securities analysts or investors regarding our Company, the industry, or competitors;
•general market or economic conditions including the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
•proxy contests or other shareholder activism.
We also provide financial objectives for our expected operating results for future periods. While the information is provided based on current and projected data about the markets we deliver to and our operational capacity and capabilities, the financial objectives are subject to risks and uncertainties. If our future results do not match our financial objectives for a particular period, or if the financial objectives are reduced in future periods, the value of our common stock could decline.
Furthermore, stock prices for many companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. These fluctuations, coupled with changes in results of operations and general economic, political, and market conditions, may adversely affect the value of our common stock.
Item 1B - Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 2 - Properties
The location, number, and use of our major facilities, including our executive and administrative offices, as of June 30, 2020, are as follows:
The listed facilities occupy approximately 3,303,000 square feet in aggregate as of June 30, 2020, of which approximately 3,050,000 square feet are owned, and 253,000 square feet are leased.
15
Generally, properties are utilized at normal capacity levels on a multiple shift basis. At times, certain facilities utilize a reduced second or third shift. We continually assess our capacity needs and evaluate our operations to optimize our service levels by geographic region.
Significant loss of income resulting from a facility catastrophe would be partially offset by business interruption insurance coverage.
Operating leases for all facilities and related land, including nine leased office furniture showroom facilities that are not included in the table above, total 321,000 square feet and expire from fiscal year 2021 to 2027 with many of the leases subject to renewal options. The leased showroom facilities are in five states and the District of Columbia. As part of our transformation restructuring plan, we have ceased operations at a leased manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia, consolidated a David Edward production facility in Red Lion, Pennsylvania into our Baltimore, Maryland production facility, and ceased use of four leased furniture showrooms during fiscal year 2020. See Note 5 - Leases of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning leases.
We own approximately 331 acres of land, which includes land where various facilities reside, including approximately 115 acres of land in the Kimball Industrial Park, Jasper, Indiana.
Item 3 - Legal Proceedings
We and our subsidiaries are not parties to any pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business. The outcome of current routine pending litigation, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse impact.
Item 4 - Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.

On August 24, 2020, our Class A common stock was owned by 96 shareholders of record, and our Class B common stock was owned by 1,273 shareholders of record, of which 46 also owned Class A common stock. The shares of our Class B common stock are equal to the shares of our Class A common stock with respect to all matters, including without limitation, dividend payments and voting rights, except that while Class A shares are convertible on a one-for-one basis into Class B shares, our Class B shares cannot be converted into Class A shares.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
The information required by this item concerning securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is incorporated by reference to Item 12 - Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Shareholder Matters of Part III of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
A share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors was announced on August 11, 2015. The program allows for the repurchase of up to two million shares of common stock and will remain in effect until all shares authorized have been repurchased.

Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Business Overview
For over 70 years, Kimball International, Inc. (the “Company,” “Kimball International,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) has created design-driven furnishings that have helped our customers shape spaces into places, bringing possibility to life by enabling collaboration, discovery, wellness, and relaxation. We go to market through our family of brands: Kimball, Kimball Health, National, Etc. by National, Kimball Hospitality, and D’style by Kimball Hospitality. Our values and integrity are demonstrated daily by living our purpose and guiding principles that establish us as an employer of choice. We build success by growing long-term relationships with customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.
We closely monitor key indicators for the markets in which we compete. As reported by the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer Association (“BIFMA”), the forecast by IHS Markit, a global information provider, as of May 2020 for the U.S. office furniture market, projects a year-over-year decline of 4.9% for calendar year 2020. The forecast for two of the leading indicators for the hospitality furniture market in the May 2020 PwC Hospitality Directions U.S. report includes a projected 53.1% decline in RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) for calendar year 2020, while occupancy levels for calendar 2020 are anticipated to decline 41.4%.
Management currently considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding our financial condition and operating performance:
•COVID-19 - The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted our financial performance during the latter half of our fiscal year 2020, and is expected to have a continuing adverse impact as we navigate through this crisis. The expected duration and severity of the COVID-19 impact on our business is affected by plans to return to the workplace balanced with working from home and the potential prolonged reduction in travel. Our dealers and suppliers are also experiencing similar negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional impacts to our business resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak include, but are not limited to, the following:
•We initially responded in late March to shelter-in-place and similar government orders as mandated by temporarily closing non-essential manufacturing, distribution, and showroom locations and implementing a remote working program for professional staff, including video conferencing capabilities. As we serve the healthcare industry and the federal government, four of our ten facilities continued to operate to provide these essential products. We prioritized
20
health products by launching a family of quickship products for facilities serving the COVID-19 crisis. As government mandates lifted in late April and early May, we increased the number of facilities in operation to eight out of the ten and by the end of June all ten that comprise our US manufacturing footprint, which reduced our lead-times on incoming orders and provides us with the ability to accommodate additional volumes.
•Order rates in the fourth quarter decreased in our workplace, health and hospitality markets and customers postponed deliveries which reduced our fourth quarter revenues.
•The safety and health of our employees is most important, thus we have implemented new safety measures, such as domestic and international travel restrictions, work-from-home practices for professional staff, extensive cleaning protocols, social distancing on the manufacturing floor, and utilization of personal protective equipment for employees who are unable to work remotely.
•In response to the decline in revenue, we are focusing on cost control and are closely monitoring market changes and our liquidity in order to proactively adjust our operating costs. In order to preserve cash during this time, we have also reduced spending on discretionary expenditures. Managing working capital in conjunction with fluctuating demand levels is likewise key. While the impact of COVID-19 is anticipated to impact our future sales levels, we believe our principal sources of liquidity from available funds on hand and short-term investments, cash generated from operations, and the availability of borrowing under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and other operating needs for at least the next twelve months.
•Transformation Restructuring Plan - In June 2019, we announced a transformation restructuring plan to optimize resources for future growth, improve efficiency, and build capabilities across our organization. We believe the transformation restructuring plan has established a more cost-efficient structure to better align our operations with our long-term strategic goals. The efforts generated pre-tax savings of approximately $10.5 million in fiscal year 2020. Through June 30, 2020, we recorded restructuring charges of $9.4 million and estimate that the total pre-tax restructuring charges upon completion of the plan will be approximately $11.4 million and are expected to consist of approximately $3.6 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $3.7 million for facility exit and other costs, and $4.1 million for asset impairment. The transformation restructuring plan included the following:
•We reviewed our overall manufacturing facility footprint to reduce excess capacity and gain efficiencies by centralizing manufacturing operations. We have ceased operations at a leased seating manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia, and consolidated a David Edward production facility in Red Lion, Pennsylvania into our Baltimore, Maryland facility.
•The creation of center-led functions for finance, human resources, information technology and legal functions resulted in the standardization of processes and the elimination of duplication. In addition, we centralized our supply chain efforts to maximize supplier value and plan to drive more efficient practices and operations within our logistics function.
•Kimball brand selling resources were realigned to higher-growth markets. We also ceased use of four leased furniture showrooms across our brands during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and recognized impairment of the lease and associated leasehold improvements. Additional impairment was recognized in our fourth quarter due to degradation of sublease expectations resulting from the current economic environment.
•Transformation Restructuring Plan Phase 2 - In August 2020, we announced the second phase of our transformation restructuring plan that will align our business units to a new market-centric orientation and is expected to yield additional cost savings that will enable us to effectively manage through the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan builds on the initial strategy and the transformation restructuring plan announced in June 2019. Phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan will begin immediately, and we expect a substantial majority of the restructuring activities to be completed within two years. We currently estimate we will incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $17.0 million to $18.0 million related to the initiatives under phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan, with $14.0 million to $15.0 million expected to be recorded in fiscal year 2021, and the remainder in fiscal year 2022. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $9.0 million to $9.4 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $4.0 million to $4.3 million for facility costs, and $4.0 million to $4.3 million for lease and other asset impairment. The following is a summary of the activities we will be undertaking pursuant to phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan:
•As part of the previously announced plan to consolidate manufacturing of all brands into one world-class global operations group, we are streamlining our manufacturing facilities by leveraging production capabilities across all facilities, establishing centers of excellence, and setting up processes to facilitate flexing of product between facilities in response to volume fluctuations. We are also reviewing our overall facility footprint to identify opportunities to reduce capacity and gain efficiencies.
21
•The Company will be reorganized into four market centric business units which are Workplace, Health, Hospitality and eBusiness.
•We will streamline our workforce to align with the new organizational structure and respond to lower volumes created by the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a more efficient organization to deliver on our Connect 2.0 strategy.
•On October 26, 2018, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain specified limited liabilities of David Edward Furniture, Inc. (“David Edward”), which is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. David Edward is a premier designer and manufacturer of contract furniture, sold in the health, corporate, education, and premium hospitality markets. David Edward products are generally specified by architects and sold primarily in the North American market. The David Edward product portfolio consists of classic and contemporary designs, focused primarily in the seating, tables, and ancillary furniture categories. In conjunction with the asset acquisition, we leased the two existing David Edward production facilities in Baltimore, Maryland and Red Lion, Pennsylvania. As part of our transformation restructuring plan we are consolidating the David Edward production facility in Red Lion, Pennsylvania into the Baltimore, Maryland facility. Our focus is on investing in new equipment and a redesigned layout in Baltimore that will allow us to substantially increase capacity, improve efficiency, reduce lead times, deliver on the high design, high quality products, and expand our Kimball Health Portfolio. See Note 3 - Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
•With the current decline in the economy, we expect commodity prices to remain moderate, and we will continue to be exposed to fluctuations in transportation costs, which vary based upon freight carrier capacity and fuel prices. We utilize both steel and aluminum in our products, most of which is sourced domestically. The U.S. imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum and we have worked to offset increases in the cost of these materials through supplier negotiations, global sourcing initiatives, product re-engineering and parts standardization, and price increases on our products.
•Due to the contract and project nature of furniture markets, fluctuation in the demand for our products and variation in the gross margin on those projects is inherent to our business, which in turn impacts our operating results. Effective management of our manufacturing capacity is and will continue to be critical to our success. See below for further details regarding current sales and open order trends.
•We expect to continue to invest in capital expenditures prudently, particularly for projects that will enhance our capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability.
•We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet. Our short-term liquidity available, represented as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments plus the unused amount of our credit facility, was $170.5 million at June 30, 2020.

The Workplace, Health and Hospitality end markets align with the reorganization which occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2021. Our Workplace end market includes sales to the commercial, financial, government and education vertical markets.
Fiscal year 2020 consolidated net sales were $727.9 million compared to fiscal year 2019 consolidated net sales of $768.1 million, a 5% decrease. Organic net sales decreased $44.2 million, or 6%, year-over-year due to lower volume primarily in our workplace and hospitality end markets, which more than offset increased pricing. The declines in sales volumes in all three of our end markets were driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of our end market sales levels can fluctuate depending on the mix of projects in a given period.
Order backlog at June 30, 2020 decreased 7%, when compared to the open order level as of June 30, 2019, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.
23
Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased 140 basis points in fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019, primarily due to increased product pricing and the savings realized from our transformation plan which were partially offset by the loss of leverage on the lower sales volumes and a shift in sales mix to lower margin products.
Selling and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019 decreased 8%, and as a percent of net sales decreased 80 basis points. The reduction in selling and administrative expenses was driven by the savings benefit related to the transformation plan, lower commissions, lower incentive compensation resulting from lower earnings, and lower CEO transition expense which were partially offset by a prior year gain on the sale of assets which did not repeat in the current year.
In June 2019, we announced a transformation restructuring plan to optimize resources for future growth, improve efficiency, and build capabilities across our organization. The transformation restructuring plan has established a more cost-efficient structure to better align our operations with our long-term strategic goals. We recognized pre-tax restructuring expense of $8.5 million in fiscal year 2020 and $0.9 million in fiscal year 2019 related to our transformation restructuring plan. See Note 2 - Restructuring of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our transformation restructuring plan.

Our fiscal year 2020 effective tax rate of 26.9% was higher than the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily from the impact of nondeductible officer compensation which more than offset a $0.4 million research and development tax credit. Our fiscal year 2019 effective tax rate of 23.9% was less than the combined federal and state statutory rate in part due to a $0.3 million research and development tax credit.
Comparing our balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2019, our accounts payable balance declined as our expenditures declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The $16.4 million decline in our accrued expenses line was due to our accrued incentive compensation and retirement profit sharing contribution accruals for fiscal year 2020 being lower than for fiscal year 2019, and our accrual for customer incentives was also lower for fiscal year 2020 as programs were altered due to COVID-19. The right-of-use operating lease assets and current and long-term operating lease liabilities lines are the result of implementing Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842 as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2020. See Note 5 - Leases of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Results of Operations - Fiscal Year 2019 Compared to Fiscal Year 2018
For the comparison of fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed August 27, 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments was $97.1 million at June 30, 2020 and $106.3 million at June 30, 2019. Cash flows from operations of $29.8 million were more than offset by capital expenditures, including capitalized software, of $21.1 million and the return of capital to shareholders in the form of dividends totaling $12.9 million and stock repurchases totaling $3.0 million during fiscal year 2020.
Working capital at June 30, 2020 was $123.1 million compared to working capital of $96.5 million at June 30, 2019. The current ratio was 2.1 and 1.7 at June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.
Our short-term liquidity available, represented as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments plus the unused amount of our credit facility, totaled $170.5 million at June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, we had $1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. We had no credit facility borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2020 or June 30, 2019.

Cash Flows

| Net cash used for financing activities | $ | (17,332) | $ | (22,265) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For fiscal years 2020 and 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $29.8 million and $65.0 million, respectively, fueled by net income of $41.1 million and $39.3 million, respectively. Changes in working capital balances used $42.6 million of cash in fiscal year 2020 and provided $8.8 million of cash in fiscal year 2019.
The $42.6 million usage of cash from changes in working capital balances in fiscal year 2020 was partially due to the $17.9 million cash impact of a reduction in our accrued expenses balance as the cash incentive compensation and retirement profit sharing contribution accruals for fiscal year 2020 were lower than for fiscal year 2019 and our accrual for customer incentives were also lower for fiscal year 2020 as programs were altered due to COVID-19. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 drove an $8.3 million cash decrease in our accounts payable as our expenditures declined, a $5.2 million cash increase in our accounts receivable balance, and a $5.0 million cash reduction in customer deposits.
The $8.8 million of cash provided by changes in working capital balances in fiscal year 2019 was primarily driven by a combined $4.6 million increase in accrued annual cash incentive compensation and accrued retirement plan contributions and a $6.1 million reduction in prepaid income taxes.
Our measure of accounts receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”), for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were 32 days and 28 days, respectively. The DSO increase was largely driven by the impacts of COVID-19 and customer payment patterns. We define DSO as the average of monthly accounts and notes receivable divided by an average day’s net sales. Our Production Days Supply on Hand (“PDSOH”) of inventory measure for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were 50 and 44 days, respectively. Production slowdowns and reductions in shipments related to COVID-19 both contributed to the increase in PDSOH. We define PDSOH as the average of the monthly net inventory divided by an average day’s cost of sales.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During fiscal year 2020, we invested $25.0 million in available-for-sale securities, and $52.9 million matured. During fiscal year 2019, we invested $40.8 million in available-for-sale securities, and $42.4 million matured. Throughout fiscal year 2020 and 2019, our short-term investments included municipal bonds, certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market, and U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. During fiscal years 2020 and 2019, we reinvested $21.1 million and $21.0 million, respectively, into capital investments for the future. The capital investments both fiscal years 2020 and 2019 were primarily for facility improvements, such as renovations to our corporate headquarters, and various manufacturing equipment upgrades to increase automation in production facilities which is expected to yield future benefits. During fiscal year 2019 we received proceeds from the sale of assets net of selling expenses of $1.3 million, the majority of which related to the sale of a series of Internet protocol addresses and had cash outflow of $4.3 million for the David Edward acquisition.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We paid $12.9 million of dividends in fiscal year 2020 compared to paying $11.4 million of dividends in fiscal year 2019. Consistent with our historical dividend policy, our Board of Directors evaluates the appropriate dividend payment on a quarterly basis. We repurchased shares pursuant to a previously announced stock repurchase program, which drove cash outflow of $3.0 million in fiscal year 2020 and $9.1 million in fiscal year 2019.
Credit Facility
We maintain a $75.0 million credit facility with a maturity date of October 2024 that allows for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. We also have an option to request an increase of the amount available for borrowing to $150 million, subject to participating banks’ consent. The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement may consist of, at our election, advances in U.S. dollars or advances in any other currency that is agreed to by the lenders. The proceeds of the revolving loans
25
are to be used for general corporate purposes including acquisitions. A portion of the credit facility, not to exceed $10 million of the principal amount, will be available for the issuance of letters of credit. At June 30, 2020, we had $1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility. At both June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, we had no borrowings outstanding.
The credit facility requires us to comply with certain debt covenants, the most significant of which are the adjusted leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. The adjusted leverage ratio is defined as (a) consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash equivalents on hand in excess of $15,000,000 provided that the maximum subtraction shall not exceed $35,000,000 to (b) adjusted consolidated EBITDA, determined as of the end of each of our fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, and may not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0. The fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as (a) the sum of (i) consolidated EBITDA, minus (ii) 50% of depreciation expense, minus (iii) taxes paid, minus (iv) dividends and distributions paid, minus (v) if the Adjusted Leverage Ratio is greater than 1.00 to 1.00 for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarter period, repurchase of Equity Interests to (b) the sum of (i) scheduled principal payments on indebtedness due and/or paid, plus (ii) interest expense, calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, determined as of the end of each of our fiscal quarters for the trailing four fiscal quarters then ending, and may not be less than 1.10 to 1.00.We were in compliance with all debt covenants of the credit facility during fiscal year 2020.
The table below compares the adjusted leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio with the limits specified in the credit agreement.
| At or For the Period Ended | Limit As Specified in | |||||||||||||||||||
| Covenant | June 30, 2020 | Credit Agreement | Excess | |||||||||||||||||
| Adjusted Leverage Ratio | (0.38) | 3.00 | 3.38 | |||||||||||||||||
| Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio | 637.92 | 1.10 | 636.82 | |||||||||||||||||
Future Liquidity
While we expect the impact of COVID-19 will continue to impact our sales levels, we believe our principal sources of liquidity from available funds on hand and short-term investments, cash generated from operations, and the availability of borrowing under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and other operating needs for at least the next twelve months. During fiscal year 2021, we also anticipate cash outflow of approximately $11 million related to the second phase of our transformation restructuring plan. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share, which was paid in our first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Future cash dividends are subject to approval by our Board of Directors and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change. We will continue to evaluate market conditions in determining future share repurchases. At June 30, 2020, 2.5 million shares remained available under the repurchase program. During fiscal year 2021, we expect to continue investments in capital expenditures, particularly for projects such as machinery and equipment upgrades and automation, and potential acquisitions that would enhance our capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability. Our ability to generate cash from operations to meet our liquidity obligations could be adversely affected in the future by factors such as general economic and market conditions, including reduced revenues from the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of changes in tariffs, lack of availability of raw material components in the supply chain, loss of key contract customers, and other unforeseen circumstances. In particular, should demand for our products decrease significantly over the next 12 months, the available cash provided by operations could be adversely impacted.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) contains non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the statements of income, statements of comprehensive income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows, or statements of shareholders’ equity of the company. The non-GAAP financial measures used within this MD&A include (1) organic net sales, defined as net sales excluding the acquisition-related net sales during the periods for which there were no sales related to such acquisition in the comparable period; (2) adjusted operating income, defined as operating income excluding restructuring expenses, CEO transition costs, and market value adjustments related to our SERP liability; (3) adjusted operating income percentage, defined as adjusted operating income as a percentage of net sales; (4) adjusted net income, defined as net income excluding restructuring expenses and CEO transition costs; (5) adjusted diluted earnings per share, defined as diluted earnings per share excluding restructuring expenses and CEO transition costs; (6) adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excluding restructuring expenses and CEO transition costs; and (7) adjusted EBITDA percentage, defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Reconciliations of the reported GAAP numbers to these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below. Management believes it is useful for investors to understand and to be able to meaningfully trend, analyze and benchmark how our core operations performed without market value adjustments related to our SERP liability or expenses incurred in executing our transformation restructuring plan or our CEO transition. Many of our internal performance measures that management uses to make certain operating decisions exclude these expenses to enable meaningful trending of core operating metrics. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative to the GAAP measures and are presented as supplemental information.

The order backlog metric is a key performance indicator representing firm orders placed by our customers which have not yet been fulfilled and are expected to be recognized as revenue during future quarters. The timing of shipments can vary, but generally the backlog of orders is expected to ship within a twelve-month period.
Return on Invested Capital is a key performance indicator calculated as: [(Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Amortization, Restructuring Expense, and CEO Transition Costs) multiplied by (1 minus Effective Tax Rate)] divided by (Total Shareholders’ Equity plus Net Debt). Net Debt is defined as current maturities of long-term debt plus long-term debt less cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.
Fair Value
During fiscal year 2020, no financial instruments were affected by a lack of market liquidity. Financial assets classified as level 1 assets were valued using readily available market pricing. For commercial paper and available-for-sale securities classified as level 2 assets, the fair values were determined based on market data using evaluated pricing models and incorporating available trade, bid, and other market information. We evaluated the inputs used to value the instruments and validated the accuracy of the instrument fair values based on historical evidence. The investment in stock warrants and equity securities without readily determinable fair value of a privately-held company are classified as level 3 financial assets. The stock warrants are accounted for as a derivative instrument valued on a recurring basis considering the pricing of recent purchases or sales, if any, of the investment, as well as positive and negative qualitative evidence, while the equity securities without readily determinable fair value are accounted for as a cost-method investment which carries the securities at cost, except in the event of impairment.

(a)Refer to Note 11 - Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding long-term debt obligations. Accrued interest is also included on the Long-Term Debt Obligations line. The fiscal year 2021 amount includes less than $0.1 million of long-term debt obligations due in fiscal year 2021, which were recorded as a current liability.
(b)The timing of payments of certain items included on the “Other Long-Term Liabilities Reflected on the Balance Sheet” line above is estimated based on the following assumptions:
•The timing of long-term SERP payments is estimated based on an assumed retirement age of 62 with payout based on the prior distribution elections of participants. The fiscal year 2021 amount includes $3.6 million for SERP payments recorded as current liabilities.
•The timing of severance plan payments is estimated based on the average remaining service life of employees. The fiscal year 2021 amount includes $0.2 million for employee transition payments related to the transformation restructuring plan and $0.5 million for severance payments, which were both recorded as current liabilities.
•The timing of warranty payments is estimated based on historical data. The fiscal year 2021 amount includes $1.0 million for short-term warranty payments recorded as a current liability.
(c)Excludes $1.8 million of long-term unrecognized tax benefits and associated accrued interest and penalties along with deferred tax liabilities and miscellaneous other long-term tax liabilities which are not tied to a contractual obligation and for which we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period of future payments.
(d)Refer to Note 5 - Leases of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding operating leases. Variable lease expense is excluded from the operating lease obligations. Variable lease expense associated with our leases is dependent upon the occurrence of events, activities, or circumstances in lease agreements such as warehouse square footage utilized, property taxes assessed, and other non-lease component charges.
(e)Purchase Obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms. The amounts listed above for purchase obligations include contractual commitments for items such as raw materials, supplies, capital expenditures, services, and software acquisitions/license commitments. Cancellable purchase obligations that we intend to fulfill are also included in the purchase obligations amount listed above through fiscal year 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit and performance bonds. These arrangements do not have a material current effect and are not reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. See Note 10 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the standby letters of credit and performance bonds. We do not have material exposures to trading activities of non-exchange traded contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management uses its best judgment in the assumptions used to value these estimates, which are based on current facts and circumstances, prior experience, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements and are the policies that are most critical in the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations. Management has discussed these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and with our independent registered public accounting firm.
Revenue recognition - Effective at the beginning of fiscal year 2019, we adopted guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers, using a full retrospective method. Under the new guidance, revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring distinct goods or providing services to customers. Our revenue consists substantially of product sales, and is reported net of sales discounts, rebates, incentives, returns, and other allowances offered to customers. We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with our customers are satisfied, which occurs when control passes to a customer to enable them to direct the use of and obtain benefit from the product. This typically occurs when a customer obtains legal title, obtains the risks and rewards of ownership, has received the goods according to the contractual shipping terms either at the shipping point or destination, and is obligated to pay for the product. Shipping and handling activities are recognized as fulfillment activities and are expensed at the time revenue is recognized. We recognize sales net of applicable sales taxes and similar revenue-based taxes.
We use judgment in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by customer rebate and incentive programs. Judgments primarily include expected sales levels to be achieved and the corresponding rebate and incentive amounts expected to be earned by dealers and salespersons.
We also use judgment in estimating a reserve for returns and allowances which is recorded at the time of the sale, based on estimated product returns and price concessions. The reserve for returns and allowances is recorded in accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the expense is recorded as a reduction of net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and impair receivable balances by recording specific allowances for bad debts based on judgment using factors such as current trends, the length of time the receivables are past due, and historical collection experience. The allowance for accounts receivable balances that are determined likely to be uncollectible are a reduction in the receivables line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the expense is recorded in selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Inventory - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost includes material, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead. Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed as incurred. Inventories were valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for approximately 93% of consolidated inventories at both June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, and the remaining inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and average cost method. Inventory valued using the LIFO method requires judgement in the determination of appropriate indices used for evaluating price level changes and the application of indices to the various types of inventory within LIFO inventory pools. See Note 1 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the LIFO calculation. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the LIFO reserve was $16.2 million and $16.3 million, respectively. Inventories recorded on our balance sheets are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. For inventory using the LIFO method, excess and obsolete inventory is determined based upon FIFO inventory values, but the LIFO reserve is adjusted to prevent recognizing excessive inventory reserves in total.
Self-insurance reserves - We are self-insured up to certain limits for automobile and general liability, workers’ compensation, and certain employee health benefits such as medical, short-term disability, and dental, with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors, including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as a result of increased medical costs and changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change and reserve levels to be adjusted accordingly. At June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, our accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $2.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
Goodwill - Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, we may assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test. We compare the carrying value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit’s fair value to identify impairment.
31
During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as a result of a deterioration of our industry conditions and a decline in our forecasted revenues driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, we quantitatively tested our goodwill for impairment, and concluded no impairment of goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is written down to its fair value. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the reporting unit level. The fair value is established primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis and secondarily a market approach utilizing current industry information. The calculation of the fair value of the reporting unit considers current market conditions existing at the assessment date. During fiscal years 2020 and 2019, no goodwill impairment was recognized. At both June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, goodwill totaled $11.2 million.
New Accounting Standards
See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding New Accounting Standards.
Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk: We hold an investment portfolio of available-for-sale securities, comprised of certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market and valued at $5.3 million as of June 30, 2020. Our investment policy dictates that certificates of deposit must be Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured, and other investments we may hold such as municipal bonds and U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities must be investment grade quality. These securities are fixed income instruments and will decline in value if market interest rates increase. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in an annual period in market interest rates from levels at June 30, 2020 would cause the fair value of these investments to decline by an immaterial amount. Further information on investments is provided in Note 16 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We also hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, consisting of $0.5 million in equity securities without readily determinable fair value and $1.5 million in stock warrants. The fair value of the investment may fluctuate due to events and changes in circumstances, but we have incurred no impairment during fiscal years 2020 or 2019.
Commodity Risk: We are exposed to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations for components used in the manufacture of our products, primarily related to wood and wood-related components, steel, aluminum, and plastics. These components are impacted by global pricing pressures and general economic conditions. The U.S. imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum and if further tariffs are assessed the landed cost of our products could increase materially, which would reduce our net income if we are unable to mitigate the additional cost. We strive to offset increases in the cost of these materials through supplier negotiations, global sourcing initiatives, product re-engineering and parts standardization, and price increases on our products. We are also exposed to fluctuations in transportation costs, which vary based upon freight carrier capacity and fuel prices. Transportation costs are managed by optimizing logistics and supply chain planning, and increasing prices on our products.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: We have minimal foreign currency risk and held no derivative securities to hedge foreign currency risk as of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Kimball International, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the preparation and integrity of the accompanying financial statements and other related information in this report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the footnotes, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include judgments and estimates, which in the opinion of management are applied appropriately. We maintain a system of internal and disclosure controls intended to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or material misuse, transactions are authorized and recorded properly, and that the accounting records may be relied upon for the preparation of the financial statements. This system is tested and evaluated regularly for adherence and effectiveness by employees who work within the internal control processes, by our staff of internal auditors, as well as by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with their annual audit.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of directors who are not employees of the Company, meets regularly with management, our internal auditors, and the independent registered public accounting firm to review our financial policies and procedures, our internal control structure, the objectivity of our financial reporting, and the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm have free and direct access to the Audit Committee, and they meet periodically, without management present, to discuss appropriate matters.
Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
These consolidated financial statements are subject to an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, conducted under the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2020.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on our internal control over financial reporting which is included herein.

Jasper, Indiana
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kimball International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Inventory – Last-In, First-Out Reserve — Refer to Notes 1 and 8 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company recognizes a substantial portion of its inventory using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. There is judgment inherent in management's determination of the appropriate indices to use for evaluating price level changes relevant to the determination of the LIFO cost of inventory at each period-end. Further, there is inherent complexity in the accounting for the interaction between the determination of the LIFO reserve and other aspects of inventory valuation such as the analysis of excess and obsolete inventories and the evaluation of lower of cost or market adjustment.
The LIFO reserve is calculated under the inventory price index computation method in which inventory items are grouped by pools and are priced in terms of each pool’s aggregate base year cost. The result is compared with each pool's aggregate base year cost as of the end of the prior year to determine whether the inventory level of each LIFO pool has increased or whether a portion of the inventory has been liquidated. The determination of the pool’s base year costs involves judgement, particularly as it relates to the process of determining the appropriate indices to apply to the various inventory types within the inventory pools. Additionally, there is judgment involved in determining whether the ending LIFO reserve is sufficient to conclude the inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. As of June 30, 2020, the LIFO reserve was $16.2 million offset against $66.0 million of FIFO inventory, resulting in net inventory of $49.9 million.
We identified the LIFO reserve as a critical audit matter because of the judgments necessary to determine the appropriate indices for evaluation of price level changes and due to the complexity of interaction between the determination of the LIFO reserve, the excess and obsolete inventory and the lower of cost or market adjustments. This required significant audit effort due to a high degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to testing the appropriateness of the LIFO reserve included the following, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of the control over the LIFO reserve calculation, including management’s control over the key inputs of the calculation for inventory valuation.
•We obtained management’s LIFO reserve calculation and performed the following:
–Evaluated the reconciliation of the gross inventory balances used within the LIFO reserve calculation to the inventory subledger and general ledger.
–For a sample of individual inventory items, tested the completeness and accuracy of the LIFO reserve calculation by evaluating whether the selected items were included in the LIFO reserve calculation and in the appropriate category based on their assigned index.
–For a sample of individual inventory items, tested the appropriateness of the assigned index for each selected inventory part by comparing such index category against the nature of the material based on documentary evidence and corroboration with individuals outside of the accounting department.
–Tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s LIFO pool calculation and the aggregation of the pools to arrive at the final LIFO reserve.
–Evaluated the Company’s position regarding the adequacy of the excess and obsolete inventory adjustments in comparison to the LIFO reserve in order to record inventory at the lower of cost or market.

KIMBALL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Operating Segments: We sell a portfolio of furniture products and services under three predominant brands: Kimball, National, and Kimball Hospitality. We consider each of the three predominant brands to be operating segments which aggregate into one reportable segment. The brands operate within three end markets, selling to similar types of customers. Our products and services are similar in nature and utilize similar production and distribution processes. Our three brands share similar long-term economic characteristics.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures. While efforts are made to assure estimates used are reasonably accurate based on management’s knowledge of current events, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition: Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring distinct goods or providing services to customers. Our revenue consists substantially of product sales, and is reported net of sales discounts, rebates, incentives, returns, and other allowances offered to customers. We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with our customers are satisfied, which occurs when control passes to a customer to enable them to direct the use of and obtain benefit from the product. This typically occurs when a customer obtains legal title, obtains the risks and rewards of ownership, has received the goods according to the contractual shipping terms either at the shipping point or destination, and is obligated to pay for the product. Shipping and handling activities are recognized as fulfillment activities and are expensed at the time revenue is recognized. We recognize sales net of applicable sales taxes and similar revenue-based taxes. We use judgment in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by customer rebate and incentive programs. Judgments primarily include expected sales levels to be achieved and the corresponding rebate and incentive amounts expected to be earned by dealers and salespersons. We also use judgment in estimating a reserve for returns and allowances which is recorded at the time of the sale, based on estimated product returns and price concessions. The reserve for returns and allowances is recorded in Accrued Expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the expense is recorded as a reduction of Net Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and impair receivable balances by recording specific allowances for bad debts based on judgment using factors such as current trends, the length of time the receivables are past due, and historical collection experience. The allowance for accounts receivable balances that are determined likely to be uncollectible are a reduction in the Receivables line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the expense is recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank accounts, money market funds, and commercial paper. Bank accounts are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and money market funds and commercial paper are stated at fair value.
Short-Term Investments: Short-term investments generally consist primarily of municipal bonds, certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market, and U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. Municipal bonds include general obligation bonds and revenue bonds, some of which are pre-refunded. U.S. Treasury securities represent Treasury Bills and Notes of the U.S. government. Federal agency securities represent debt securities of a U.S. government sponsored agency, some of which are callable. Our investment policy dictates that municipal bonds and U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities must be investment grade quality. Our secondary market certificates of deposit are classified as investment securities, being purchased in the secondary market through a broker and available to be sold in the secondary market. All certificates of deposit are FDIC insured. All investments have maturities exceeding three months and are classified as available-for-sale securities which are recorded at fair value. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in earnings when there is intent to sell or it is likely to be required to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the available-for-sale securities have incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and losses are recorded net of the tax-related effect as a component of Shareholders’ Equity.
Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable: Our notes receivable and trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. We determine on a case-by-case basis the cessation of accruing interest, the resumption of accruing interest, the method of recording payments received on nonaccrual receivables, and the delinquency status for our limited number of notes receivable.
42
Our policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable and notes receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to determine the final allowance for credit losses on the trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. Trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Our limited amount of notes receivable allows management to monitor the risks, credit quality indicators, collectability, and probability of impairment on an individual basis. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in selling and administrative expenses. Customary terms require payment within 30 days, with terms beyond 30 days being considered extended.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost includes material, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead. Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed as incurred. Inventory cost was determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for approximately 93% of consolidated inventories at both June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The remaining inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and average cost method.
The cost of inventory valued under the LIFO method is calculated using the inventory price index computation (“IPIC”) method, in which external indexes are used to calculate inflation for the purpose of valuing LIFO inventories. Under this method, inventory is grouped into LIFO pools consisting of inventory with similar productive activities, including methods of obtaining, processing, and selling inventory. A cumulative inflation index is computed for each LIFO pool, calculated as the weighted average inflation rate of the various inventory categories making up the pool. Our source of LIFO inflation indices is the producer price index (“PPI”) published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. We assign PPI categories to similar types of inventory items in order to measure inflation for each type of inventory. The pools’ cumulative indexes are used to deflate the inventory current-year cost to base period prices, which is then compared to the prior year’s inventory valued at base period prices. If the current year’s inventory at base is greater than the previous year’s inventory at base, the increment is multiplied by the pool cumulative inflation index to price the LIFO layer. If the current year’s inventory at base is less than the previous year’s inventory at base, the decrement erodes a previous LIFO layer and is priced using the index originally used to price the layer. A LIFO reserve is calculated as the difference between the FIFO value and the total computed LIFO layers. The LIFO reserve reduces the value of FIFO inventory to LIFO cost. During periods of rising prices, the LIFO method generally results in higher current costs being charged against income while lower costs are retained in inventories. Conversely, during periods of decreasing prices, the LIFO method generally results in lower current costs being charged against income and higher stated inventories.
Inventories are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand levels. Factors considered when evaluating obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value due to damage, use as showroom samples, design changes, or cessation of product lines. For inventory using the LIFO method, excess and obsolete inventory is determined based upon FIFO inventory values, but the LIFO reserve is adjusted to prevent recognizing excessive inventory reserves in total.
Property, Equipment, and Depreciation: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. Major maintenance activities and improvements are capitalized; other maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed. Depreciation and expenses for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are included in both the Cost of Sales line and the Selling and Administrative Expenses line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: We perform reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the reporting unit level. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, we may assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test which compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit’s fair value to identify impairment. Under the quantitative assessment, if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is written down to its fair value. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as a result of a deterioration of our industry conditions and a decline in our forecasted
43
revenues driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, we quantitatively tested our goodwill for impairment, and concluded no impairment of goodwill. The fair value is established primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis and secondarily a market approach utilizing current industry information. The calculation of the fair value of the reporting unit considers current market conditions existing at the assessment date. During fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, no goodwill impairment was recognized.
During fiscal year 2019, we recorded $2.1 million in goodwill from the acquisition of David Edward. During fiscal year 2018, we recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of $8.8 million and $10.7 million, respectively, from the acquisition of D’style, Inc. (“D’style”). We recorded an additional $0.2 million of goodwill during fiscal year 2019 as a result of a working capital adjustment related to the acquisition of D’style. See Note 3 - Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on these acquisitions.
Other Intangible Assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of capitalized software, customer relationships, trade names, and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. As a result of a deterioration of our industry conditions and a decline in our forecasted revenues driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, we assessed our customer relationship intangible assets for impairment, and concluded no impairment.

During fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, amortization expense of other intangible assets was, in thousands, $2,402, $1,777, and $1,769, respectively. Amortization expense in future periods is expected to be, in thousands, $2,679, $2,222, $1,828, $1,581, and $1,431 in the five years ending June 30, 2025, and $4,208 thereafter. The estimated useful life of capitalized software ranges from 2 to 10 years. The amortization period for customer relationship intangible assets is 20 years. The estimated useful life of trade names is 10 years. The estimated useful life of non-compete agreements is 5 years.
Capitalized software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line method. During the software application development stage, capitalized costs include external consulting costs, cost of software licenses, and internal payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with a software project. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which enable the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance, training, data conversion, and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Trade names and non-compete agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Capitalized customer relationships are amortized based on estimated attrition rates of customers. We have no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives which are not subject to amortization.
Research and Development: The costs of research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were approximately, in millions, $5, $6, and $7 in fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, included in selling and administrative expenses were, in millions, $4.1, $4.9, and $5.8, in fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Insurance and Self-insurance: We are self-insured for certain employee health benefits including medical, short-term disability, and dental. Our self-insured reserves are estimated based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. We carry medical coverage for our eligible workforce not covered by self-insured plans. Insurance benefits are not provided to retired employees.
We also participate, along with other companies, in a group captive insurance company (“Captive”). The Captive insures losses related to worker's compensation, motor vehicle liability, product liability, and general liability. The Captive reinsures catastrophic losses for all participants, including Kimball International, in excess of predetermined amounts. We pay premiums
44
to the Captive which accumulate as a prepaid deposit estimated for losses related to the above coverage. We also maintain a reserve for outstanding unpaid workers’ compensation claims, including an estimate of incurred but not reported claims.
Additionally, we purchase insurance coverage for property insurance, director and officer liability insurance, umbrella coverage, and other risks.
Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The deferred taxes are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we provide a valuation allowance based on our best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management’s assessment. We classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in our consolidated balance sheets.
We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex uncertain tax positions, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We maintain a liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions. As tax positions are effectively settled, the tax liability is adjusted accordingly. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Provision for Income Taxes line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Concentrations of Credit Risk: Certain business and credit risks are inherent in our business. We currently have notes receivable from independent dealership financing and other miscellaneous notes receivable. At June 30, 2020 and 2019, $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, were outstanding under the notes receivable. The credit risk associated with receivables is disclosed in Note 21 - Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses of Notes Receivable of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Risk: Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit and performance bonds entered into in the normal course of business as described in Note 10 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-operating Income and Expense: Non-operating income and expense include the impact of such items as fair value adjustments on Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) investments, amortization of actuarial income, foreign currency rate movements, bank charges, investment gain or loss, and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. The gain or loss on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in selling and administrative expenses.
Foreign Currency Translation: Our foreign operations use the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are remeasured into functional currencies at end-of-period exchange rates, except for nonmonetary assets and equity, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at the weighted average exchange rate during the fiscal year, except for expenses related to nonmonetary assets, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement are reported in the Non-operating income or expense line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Hedge accounting is utilized when a derivative is expected to be highly effective upon execution and continues to be highly effective over the duration of the hedge transaction. Hedge accounting permits gains and losses on derivative instruments to be deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item, or when the derivative is determined to be ineffective. We have used derivatives primarily for forward purchases of foreign currency to manage exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to the foreign exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currency.
We hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, including $1.5 million in stock warrants purchased during fiscal year 2017. The investment in stock warrants is accounted for as a derivative instrument and is included in the Other Assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 15 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on derivative instruments and hedging activities.
45
Stock-Based Compensation: As described in Note 13 - Stock Compensation Plans of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we maintain a stock-based compensation plan which allows for the issuance of stock unit awards, restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards, each of which may include performance-based conditions, to certain employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors. We recognize the cost resulting from share-based payment transactions using a fair-value-based method. The estimated fair value of outstanding performance shares and restricted share units is based on the stock price at the date of the grant. For performance shares, the price is reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on outstanding performance share awards. The estimated fair value of outstanding relative total shareholder return performance units (“RTSR”) is based on the grant date fair value of RTSR awards using a Monte Carlo simulation which includes estimating the movement of stock prices and the effects of volatility, interest rates, and dividends. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that will shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. This guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The guidance was effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that revises the accounting for leases. The guidance is intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. The guidance also requires additional disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In January 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance for land easements which permits entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to determine if they contain a lease. New land easement arrangements, or modifications to existing arrangements, after the adoption of the lease standard will be evaluated to determine if they meet the definition of a lease. In July 2018, the FASB amended the new standard to clarify certain aspects of the guidance, and they also issued another new standard in July 2018 that allows the option to apply the transition provisions at the adoption date instead of at the earliest comparative period in the consolidated financial statements. In March 2019, the FASB issued clarifying guidance regarding interim transition disclosures. We adopted this lease guidance as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2020. We have assessed our portfolio of leases and compiled a central repository of leases, recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a lease term of greater than twelve months. All changes required by the new standard, including accounting policies, controls, and disclosures, have been identified and implemented. See Note 5 - Leases of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on a customer’s accounting for implementation, set-up, and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is hosted by the vendor. Under the new guidance, customers will apply the same criteria for capitalizing implementation costs as they would for an arrangement that has a software license. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Entities can choose to adopt the guidance prospectively to eligible costs incurred on or after the date this guidance is first applied or retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The guidance modifies and removes certain disclosures related to the fair value hierarchy, and adds new disclosure requirements such as disclosing the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and disclosing the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and should be applied retrospectively except for certain disclosures. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Under the guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance is also intended to reduce the complexity by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. In May 2019, the FASB amended the new standard to allow entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments that were previously recorded at amortized cost. In November 2019, the FASB amended the new standard to extend the disclosure relief for accrued interest receivable balances to additional relevant disclosures involving amortized cost basis. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2021. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 Restructuring
During fiscal years 2020 and 2019, we recognized $8.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively of pre-tax restructuring expense. We had no restructuring activity in fiscal year 2018.
We utilized available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of impaired fixed assets. Restructuring is included in the Restructuring Expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Transformation Restructuring Plan:
In June 2019, we announced a transformation restructuring plan to optimize resources for future growth, improve efficiency, and build capabilities across our organization. We believe the transformation restructuring plan has established a more cost-efficient structure to better align our operations with our long-term strategic goals. The transformation restructuring plan includes the following:
•We reviewed our overall manufacturing facility footprint to reduce excess capacity and gain efficiencies by centralizing manufacturing operations. We have ceased operations at a leased seating manufacturing facility in Martinsville, Virginia, consolidated a David Edward production facility in Red Lion, Pennsylvania into our Baltimore, Maryland facility.
•The creation of center-led functions for finance, human resources, information technology and legal functions resulted in the standardization of processes and the elimination of duplication. In addition, we centralized our supply chain efforts to maximize supplier value and plan to drive more efficient practices and operations within our logistics function.
•Kimball brand selling resources were reallocated to higher-growth markets. We also ceased use of four leased furniture showrooms across our brands during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and recognized impairment of the lease and associated leasehold improvements. Additional impairment was recognized in our fourth quarter due to degradation of sublease assumptions resulting from the current economic environment.
We estimate that the total pre-tax restructuring charges upon completion of the plan will be approximately $11.4 million. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $3.6 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $3.7 million for facility exit and other costs, and $4.1 million for asset impairment. Approximately 60% of the total cost estimate is expected to be cash expense.
A summary of the charges recorded in connection with the transformation restructuring plan is as follows:
| Year Ended | Charges Incurred to Date | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Amounts in Thousands) | June 30, 2020 | June 30, 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Transformation Restructuring Plan Phase 2:
In August 2020, we announced the next phase of our transformation restructuring plan that will align our business units to a new market-centric orientation and is expected to yield additional cost savings that will enable us to effectively manage through the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan builds on the initial strategy and the transformation restructuring plan announced in June 2019. The following is a summary of the activities we will be undertaking pursuant to phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan:
•As part of the previously announced plan to consolidate manufacturing of all brands into one world-class global operations group, we are streamlining our manufacturing facilities by leveraging production capabilities across all facilities, establishing centers of excellence, and setting up processes to facilitate flexing of product between facilities in response to volume fluctuations. We are also reviewing our overall facility footprint to identify opportunities to reduce capacity and gain efficiencies.
•The Company will be reorganized into four market centric business units of Workplace, Health, Hospitality and eBusiness.
•We will streamline our workforce to align with the new organizational structure and respond to lower volumes created by the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a more efficient organization to deliver on our Connect 2.0 strategy.
Phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan will begin in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2021, and we expect a substantial majority of the underlying activities of these aforementioned actions to be completed within two years.
We currently estimate the transformation restructuring plan will incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $17.0 million to $18.0 million related to the initiatives under phase 2 of the transformation restructuring plan, with $14.0 million to $15.0 million expected to be recorded in fiscal year 2021, and the remainder in fiscal year 2022. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $9.0 million to $9.4 million for severance and other employee-related costs, $4.0 million to $4.3 million for facility costs, and $4.0 million to $4.3 million for lease and other asset impairment. Approximately 75% of the total cost estimate is expected to be cash expense.
Note 3 Acquisitions
David Edward Furniture, Inc. (“David Edward”)
On October 26, 2018, we acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain specified limited liabilities of David Edward headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. David Edward is a premier designer and manufacturer of contract furniture, sold in the health, corporate, education, and premium hospitality markets. The David Edward product portfolio consists of classic and contemporary designs, focused primarily in the seating, tables, and ancillary furniture categories. In conjunction with the asset acquisition, we leased two existing David Edward production facilities in Baltimore, Maryland and Red Lion, Pennsylvania. As part of our transformation restructuring plan, we consolidated the David Edward production facility in Red Lion, Pennsylvania into our Baltimore, Maryland facility near the end of our fiscal year 2020. The acquisition purchase price totaled $4.3 million and was final as of June 30, 2019. Assets acquired were $6.6 million, which included $2.1 million of goodwill, and liabilities assumed were $2.4 million. The operating results of this acquisition are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on October 26, 2018. For the years ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, net sales and net loss related to David Edward were immaterial. Direct costs of the acquisition for the year ended June 30, 2019, of approximately $0.5 million, were expensed as incurred and were included on the Selling and Administrative Expenses line of our Consolidated Statements of Income. Pro forma results of operations for the David Edward acquisition have not been presented as they were not significant to our results of operations.
48
D’style
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we acquired certain assets of D’style, Inc. (“D’style”), headquartered in Chula Vista, California. This acquisition expanded our reach into hospitality public space areas and added an attractive product portfolio of solutions for the residential market through the acquired Allan Copley Designs brand. These offerings enable us to take advantage of the trend where hospitality, residential and commercial designs are merging. As part of this acquisition, we also acquired all of the capital stock of Diseños de Estilo S.A. de C.V. headquartered in Tijuana, Mexico, another member of the D’style group which manufactures exclusively for D’style, strengthening our North American manufacturing footprint and serving as a distribution channel to the Mexico and Latin America hospitality markets. The cash paid for the acquisition totaled $18.2 million. Assets acquired were $24.1 million, which included $9.0 million of goodwill, and liabilities assumed were $4.2 million. An earn-out of up to $2.2 million was contingent based upon fiscal year 2018 and 2019 D’style, Inc. operating income compared to a predetermined target for each fiscal year. An earn-out of $0.4 million was paid in each of fiscal years 2020 and 2019 based on both fiscal years 2019 and 2018 D’style operating income, respectively.
| Consideration | ||||||||
| (Amounts in Thousands) | ||||||||
| Cash | $ | 18,201 | ||||||
| Contingent earn-out — fair value at acquisition date | 1,680 | |||||||
| Fair value of total consideration | $ | 19,881 | ||||||
As of the acquisition date the fair value of the earn-out was $1.7 million. At June 30, 2018, the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability was adjusted to $1.1 million, resulting in a $0.6 million pre-tax gain, recognized as a $0.8 million pre-tax gain included in Selling and Administrative Expenses, offset in part by $0.2 million of Interest Expense attributable to an adjustment of the contingent earn-out liability. At June 30, 2019, the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability was adjusted to $0.4 million due to a payment of $0.4 million and an adjustment of $0.3 million of pre-tax income within Selling and Administrative Expenses which was partially offset by Interest Expense. The $0.4 million earn-out was paid in the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
The operating results of this acquisition are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning on November 6, 2017. For the years ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, net sales and net income (loss) were immaterial. Direct costs of the acquisition for the year ended June 30, 2018, of approximately $0.8 million, were expensed as incurred and were included on the Selling and Administrative Expenses line of our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Pro forma results of operations for the D’style acquisition have not been presented as they were not significant to our results of operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill resulting from both the David Edward and D’style acquisitions is primarily attributable to the anticipated revenue and supply chain synergies expected from the operations of the combined companies. For tax purposes, the goodwill is tax deductible over 15 years, except for an immaterial portion of the D’style acquisition which is not deductible for tax purposes. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on goodwill.
The following summarizes our goodwill activity:

Note 4 Revenue
Performance Obligations
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring distinct goods or providing services to customers. Our revenue consists substantially of product sales, and is reported net of sales discounts, rebates, incentives, returns, and other allowances offered to customers. We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of contracts with our customers are satisfied, which occurs when control passes to a customer to enable them to direct the use of and obtain benefit from a product. This typically occurs when a customer obtains legal title, obtains the risks and rewards of ownership, has received the goods according to the contractual shipping terms either at the shipping point or destination, and is obligated to pay for the product. Customary terms require payment within 30 days, and for certain customers, deposits may be required in advance of shipment.
We sell products both to independent dealers and directly to end customers. Sales to independent dealers typically include products only, as the independent dealer provides additional value-added services to end customers. Direct sales to end customers include products and may include related services such as installation and design services. These services are distinct from the delivered products within the context of the contract, and therefore revenue is recognized for products, installation, and design on a discrete basis. The performance of services may be outsourced to independent dealers or other third parties, but we typically retain the primary responsibility for performance of the services when selling directly to end customers. For services, revenue is recognized when the service is performed and we have an enforceable right to payment. Service revenue does not represent a significant portion of our total sales.
We provide an assurance-type warranty that guarantees our product complies with agreed-upon specifications. This warranty is not sold separately and does not convey any additional services to the customer; therefore, our warranty is not considered a separate performance obligation. We estimate the costs that may be incurred under warranties and record a liability at the time product revenue is recognized. See Note 10 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on warranty obligations.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table provides information about revenue by end market:
| Year Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| June 30 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Amounts in Millions) | 2020 | 2019 | 2018 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Workplace | $ | 435.4 | $ | 462.7 | $ | 449.3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Health | 108.9 | 110.4 | 88.6 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hospitality | 183.6 | 195.0 | 166.7 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total Net Sales | $ | 727.9 | $ | 768.1 | $ | 704.6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We report revenue under a single aggregated reportable segment consisting of three operating segments which have similar products and services in nature, utilize similar production and distribution processes, and share similar long-term economic characteristics.
Contract Balances
Receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the amount of consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the goods or services sold to our customers, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Receivables are recorded when the right to consideration from the customer becomes unconditional, which is generally upon billing or upon satisfaction of a performance obligation, whichever is earlier. For the years ended June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, impairment losses on doubtful accounts receivable were $1.4 million, $0.5 million, and $0.0 million, respectively.
50
We also receive deposits from certain customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in the recognition of a contract liability reported as Customer Deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the customer deposits during fiscal years 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
| (Amounts in Millions) | 2020 | 2019 | |||||||||
| Balance at the beginning of the year | $ | 24.6 | $ | 21.3 | |||||||
| Increases due to deposits received, net of other adjustments | 105.4 | 116.6 | |||||||||
| Revenue recognized | (110.4) | (113.3) | |||||||||
| Balance at the end of the year | $ | 19.6 | $ | 24.6 | |||||||
Customer deposits are typically utilized within a year of the receipt of the deposit. The amount of revenue recognized during the year ended June 30, 2020 that was included in the June 30, 2019 customer deposit balance was $24.6 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the year ended June 30, 2019 that was included in the June 30, 2018 customer deposit balance was $20.9 million.
Additionally, funds paid to certain independent dealers in exchange for their multi-year commitment to market and sell our products represent costs of obtaining contracts. These incremental costs of obtaining contracts are capitalized to the extent we expect to recover them in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, with $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, reported in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and $0.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, reported in Other Assets. The capitalized costs are amortized over the term of the contract. Amortization expense recognized in Selling and Administrative Expenses was $0.2 million, $0.4 million, and $0.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Significant Judgments
We use significant judgment in estimating the reduction in net sales driven by customer rebate and incentive programs. Judgments primarily include an estimate of the most likely sales levels to be achieved and the corresponding rebate and incentive amounts expected to be earned by dealers and salespersons. In the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019, and 2018, we had an immaterial amount of adjustments to estimates for cumulative growth rebates and incentives that related to the preceding fiscal years. We also use judgment in estimating a reserve for returns and allowances recorded at the time of the sale, resulting in a reduction of revenue, based on estimated product returns and price concessions.
Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients Elected
For shipping and handling activities, we are applying an accounting policy election which allows an entity to account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities rather than a promised good or service when the activities are performed, even if those activities are performed after the control of the good has been transferred to the customer. Therefore, we expense shipping and handling costs at the time revenue is recognized. We classify shipping and handling expenses in Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
We are also applying an accounting policy election which allows an entity to exclude from revenue any amounts collected from customers on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes and other similar taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities. Therefore, we present revenue net of sales taxes and similar revenue-based taxes.
Note 5. Leases
At the beginning of our fiscal year 2020, we adopted new accounting guidance (“ASC 842”) regarding leases on a prospective basis. This guidance requires lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The effects of the initial application did not result in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. We recognize lease liabilities at the lease commencement date based upon the present value of the remaining lease payments. Right-of-use assets are based on the lease liability adjusted for prepaid rent, deferred rent, and tenant allowances received. Lease liabilities are amortized based upon the effective interest method, while right-of-use assets are amortized based upon the straight line expense less interest on the lease liability. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except for impaired leases for which the lease expense is recognized on a declining basis over the remaining lease term. Variable lease expense associated with our leases is dependent upon the occurrence of events, activities, or circumstances in lease agreements, such as warehouse square footage utilized, property taxes assessed, and other non-lease component charges. Variable lease expense is presented as operating expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments for operating leases.
We have operating leases for showrooms, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, certain offices, and other facilities to support our operations in addition to select equipment that expire at various dates through 2028. We have no financing leases. Certain
51
operating lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflationary indexes. Additionally, some leases include options to renew or terminate the leases which can be exercised at our discretion. Lease terms include the noncancellable portion of the underlying leases along with any reasonably certain lease periods associated with available renewal periods. Our leases do not contain residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As the rate implicit in our lease contracts cannot be readily determined, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The estimated incremental borrowing rate represents the estimated rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar period of time on a collateralized basis.

Right-of-use assets for operating leases are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations as explained in Note 14 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, we recorded $2.2 million of right-of-use asset and associated leasehold improvement impairment resulting from ceasing use of four furniture showrooms after the implementation of ASC 842 as part of our transformation restructuring plan. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, we recorded additional impairment of $1.5 million of right-of-use asset and associated leasehold improvement impairment resulting from furniture showroom sublease assumption modifications due to the degradation of the leasing environment driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impairment is included in the Restructuring Expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following disclosures relate to activity prior to the implementation of ASC 842:
During the latter portion of our fiscal year 2017, we sold a facility in Indiana which housed the education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom for proceeds of $3.8 million. We were leasing a portion of the facility back to facilitate the short-term transition of those functions to other existing Indiana locations. The sale of the facility did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting during fiscal year 2017, and thus the $1.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale was not recognized in selling and administrative expenses until fiscal year 2018.
Total rental expense was, in millions, $6.4 and $5.8 in fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively, including certain leases requiring contingent lease payments based primarily on warehouse space utilized, which was expense of, in millions, $1.2 in both fiscal years 2019 and 2018.

Practical Expedients Elected
We elected the following practical expedients as a result of adopting ASC 842:
•We elected not to separate non-lease components of a contract from the lease components to which they relate for all classes of lease assets.
•We elected the package of practical expedients available for transition which allowed us not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, (2) the classification of the leases as operating or finance and (3) the amount of initial direct costs associated with the leases.
•We elected that our date of initial application be the beginning of our period of adoption which was July 1, 2019.
•We elected not to recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less.
•We elected not to assess whether land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases are or contain a lease.
•We did not elect to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing the likelihood that a lessee purchase option will be exercised.

Note 7 Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act reduced federal corporate income tax rates effective January 1, 2018 and changed numerous other provisions. Because Kimball International has a June 30 fiscal year-end, a lower corporate federal income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 28.1% for fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 and 21% for fiscal years 2019 and 2020.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Income tax benefits associated with net operating losses of, in thousands, $1,713 expire from fiscal year 2021 to 2040. Income tax benefits associated with tax credit carryforwards of, in thousands, $3,018, expire from fiscal year 2024 to 2030. Valuation allowances were provided as of June 30, 2020 for deferred tax assets relating to state net operating losses of, in thousands, $247, foreign tax credits of, in thousands, $598, and for non-deductible officers’ compensation of, in thousands, $268, that we currently believe are more likely than not to remain unrealized in the future. In all periods presented, the change in the valuation allowance is reported as a component of income tax expense.

Kimball International, or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to any significant U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2017, and to various state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016. We do not expect the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.
We consider the earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside the United States on the basis of estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs. No provision was made for income taxes that may result from future remittances of the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are determined to
56
be indefinitely reinvested, which was $1.3 million on June 30, 2020. Based on the Tax Act, future remittances of these undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are not subject to U.S. income tax or foreign withholding taxes in the foreign country where the foreign subsidiaries operate.
Note 8 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for approximately 93% of consolidated inventories at both June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019. The remaining inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and average cost method.
Had the FIFO method been used for all inventories, income would have been $0.1 million lower in fiscal year 2020, $1.1 million higher in fiscal year 2019, and $1.1 million higher in fiscal year 2018. Certain inventory quantity reductions caused liquidations of LIFO inventory values, which increased income by an immaterial amount in 2020, 2019, and 2018.
Inventory components at June 30 were as follows:
| (Amounts in Thousands) | 2020 | 2019 | |||||||||

|
||||
| Machinery and equipment |

Depreciation of property and equipment, including asset write-downs, totaled, in millions, $15.1 for fiscal year 2020, $14.8 for fiscal year 2019, and $13.7 for fiscal year 2018.
At June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, excess land located in Jasper, Indiana totaling $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, was classified as held for sale. During fiscal year 2018, we sold all of our over-the-road tractors and trailers and the small parcel of land and recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.4 million as the $4.8 million selling price exceeded the book value net of selling costs.
During fiscal year 2017, we also sold a facility in Indiana which housed an education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom for proceeds of $3.8 million. In order to allow for transition of those functions to our primary campus also located in Jasper, Indiana, we leased back a portion of the facility until December 31, 2017 at a favorable rate. The below-market terms of the leaseback were considered a form of continuing involvement that precluded sale treatment therefore we deferred the recognition of the sale until fiscal year 2018 when we recorded the pre-tax gain of $1.7 million on the sale.

Note 10 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Guarantees:
Standby letters of credit were issued to lessors and insurance institutions and can only be drawn upon in the event of our failure to pay our obligations to a beneficiary. We had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $1.6 million as of June 30, 2020 and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2019.
We are periodically required to provide performance bonds in order to conduct business with certain customers. The bonds are required to provide assurances to customers that the products and services they have purchased will be installed and/or provided properly and without damage to their facilities. We are ultimately liable for claims that may occur against the performance bonds. We had a maximum financial exposure from performance bonds totaling $8.7 million as of June 30, 2020. We had no financial exposure from performance bonds as of June 30, 2019.
We are not aware of circumstances that would require us to perform under these arrangements and believe that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 with respect to the standby letters of credit or performance bonds. We also enter into commercial letters of credit to facilitate payments to vendors and from customers.
Product Warranties:
We provide an assurance-type warranty that guarantees our product complies with agreed-upon specifications. This warranty is not sold separately and does not convey any additional services to the customer. We estimate product warranty liability at the time of sale based on historical repair or replacement cost trends in conjunction with the length of the warranty offered. Management refines the warranty liability periodically based on changes in historical cost trends and in certain cases where specific warranty issues become known. The product warranty liability is included on the Accrued Expenses and Other lines of our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Changes in the product warranty accrual during fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018 were as follows:

Note 11 Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities
Long-term debt, less current maturities as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, was, in thousands, $109 and $136, respectively, and current maturities of long-term debt were, in thousands, $27 and $25, respectively. Long-term debt consists of a long-term note payable, which has an interest rate of 9.25% and matures in 2025. Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are, in thousands, $27, $30, $33, $36, and $10, respectively.
We maintain a $75 million credit facility with a maturity date of October 2024 that allows for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. We also have an option to request an increase of the amount available for borrowing to $150 million, subject to participating banks’ consent. At June 30, 2020 and 2019, we had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. At June 30, 2020, we had $1.6 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility to $73.4 million.
The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement may consist of, at our election, advances in U.S. dollars or advances in any other currency that is agreed to by the lenders. The proceeds of the revolving loans are to be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. A portion of the credit facility, not to exceed $10 million of the principal amount, will be available for the issuance of letters of credit. The commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the credit facility which was immaterial to our operating results for fiscal years 2020 and 2019. The commitment fee on the unused portion of principal amount of the credit facility is payable at a rate that ranges from 15.0 to 25.0 basis points per annum as determined by our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.
58
The interest rate is dependent on the type of borrowings and will be one of the following two options:
•The adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“Adjusted LIBO Rate” as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect two business days prior to the advance (adjusted upwards to reflect bank reserve costs) for such interest period, plus the Eurocurrency Loans margin which can range from 100.0 to 175.0 basis points based on our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA; or
•The Alternate Base Rate, which is defined as the highest of the fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of
a.prime rate as last quoted by The Wall Street Journal;
b.1% per annum above the Adjusted LIBO rate; or
c.0.5% per annum above the Federal Reserve Bank of New York;
plus the ABR Loans spread which can range from 0.0 to 75.0 basis points based on our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.
Our financial covenants under the Credit Agreement require:
•An adjusted leverage ratio of (a) consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash equivalents in excess of $15,000,000 provided that the maximum subtraction shall not exceed $35,000,000 to (b) adjusted consolidated EBITDA, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, to not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0, and
•A fixed charge coverage ratio of (a) the sum of (i) consolidated EBITDA, minus (ii) 50% of depreciation expense, minus (iii) taxes paid, minus (iv) dividends and distributions paid, minus (v) if the Adjusted Leverage Ratio is greater than 1.00 to 1.00 for the then most-recently ended four fiscal quarter period, repurchase of equity interests to (b) the sum of (i) scheduled principal payments on Indebtedness due and/or paid, plus (ii) interest expense, calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, for the trailing four quarters then ending, to not be less than 1.10 to 1.00.
Interest expense incurred and paid on borrowings were, in thousands, $15, $87, and $70, in fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Note 12 Employee Benefit Plans
Retirement Plans:
We have a trusteed defined contribution retirement plan in effect for substantially all domestic employees meeting the eligibility requirements. Employer contributions to the trusteed plan have a five-year vesting schedule and are held for the sole benefit of participants. We also maintain a supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) for executive employees which enables them to defer cash compensation on a pre-tax basis in excess of IRS limitations. The SERP is structured as a rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy.
The discretionary employer contribution for domestic employees is determined annually by the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. Total expense related to employer contributions to the domestic retirement plans was, in millions, $4.9, $7.3, and $5.9 for fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Employees of certain foreign subsidiaries are covered by local pension or retirement plans. The expense related to employer contributions to these foreign plans for fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018 was not material.
Severance Plans:
Our domestic employees participate in severance plans which provide severance benefits to eligible employees meeting the plans’ qualifications, primarily for involuntary termination without cause.
59
There are no statutory requirements for us to contribute to the plans, nor do employees contribute to the plans. The plans hold no assets. Benefits are paid using available cash on hand when eligible employees meet plan qualifications for payment. Benefits are based upon an employee’s years of service and accumulate up to certain limits specified in the plans and include both salary and an allowance for medical benefits. The components and changes in the Benefit Obligation, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), and Net Periodic Benefit Cost are as follows:

The benefit cost in the above table includes only normal recurring levels of severance activity, as estimated using an actuarial method. Unusual or non-recurring severance actions, such as the restructuring employee transition pay described in Note 2 - Restructuring of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, are not estimable using actuarial methods and are therefore excluded from the preceding tables.
During fiscal years 2020 and 2019, we reported service cost in the Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expenses lines of the Consolidated Statement of Income, interest cost in the Interest Expense line, and amortization of actuarial income in the Non-operating income. During fiscal year 2018, all costs were recognized in the Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expenses lines and were not segregated between the operating and non-operating sections of the Consolidated Statement of Income because the impact was immaterial.
The Plan recognized actuarial gains during fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018 as a result of lower benefit payments than were assumed in the benefit obligation. The actuarial gains are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plans.

Note 13 Stock Compensation Plans
On October 31, 2017, the shareholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (“the 2017 Plan”) which allows for the issuance of stock awards, restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards, each of which may include performance-based conditions, to certain employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors. The 2017 Plan authorizes the issuance of 2.1 million shares of our Class B Common Stock including unused shares from the former plan.
Stock-based compensation expense was $5.6 million, $6.6 million, and $4.2 million in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The total income tax benefit for stock compensation arrangements was $1.7 million, $2.0 million, and $2.1 million in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Included in the provision for income taxes for fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, was a $0.2 million increase in taxes, and a $0.3 million and $0.7 million reduction in taxes for excess tax benefits from the vesting of stock awards. We generally use treasury shares for issuance of shares.
Performance Shares:
We award performance shares to officers and other key employees. Under these awards, a number of shares will be issued to each participant based upon the attainment of the applicable performance conditions as applied to a total potential share award made and approved by the Compensation and Governance Committee. Our long-term performance share awards had a contractual life of five years and have been phased out with the final issuance of shares in July 2019. We also award annual performance share awards with a contractual life of one year. The performance conditions for both types of performance share awards are based on annual performance measurement periods. Annual performance shares vest at the end of the fiscal year. Long-term performance shares vest when issued as common shares shortly after the end of the fiscal year in which each performance measurement period is complete. If a participant is not employed on the date long-term performance shares are issued or the date annual performance shares are vested, the performance share award is forfeited, except in the case of death, retirement, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in our employment policy. To the extent performance conditions are not fully attained, performance shares are forfeited.

(1) The shares granted include the maximum number of shares that may vest under performance share awards; however, the actual number of shares which vest is determined based on the satisfaction of performance conditions, and therefore may be significantly lower. The shares vested include the earned number of shares to be issued based on performance conditions, while shares forfeited include shares that will not be issued as a result of not fully attaining the maximum performance conditions.
As of June 30, 2020, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to performance shares. The fair value of performance shares is based on the closing stock price at the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on outstanding performance share awards. The weighted average grant date fair value was $16.92, $16.13, and $16.62 for performance share awards granted in fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018,
61
respectively. During fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, 27,723; 143,543; and 401,833 performance shares vested at a fair value of $0.4 million, $2.3 million, and $4.8 million. Fiscal year 2018 vesting was higher primarily because of a change in vesting timing from July to June 30. The performance shares vested represent the total number of shares vested prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
Relative Total Shareholder Return Performance Units:
We award relative total shareholder return performance units (“RTSR”) to key officers. Under these awards, a participant will earn from 0% to 200% of the target award depending upon how the compound annual growth rate of Kimball International common stock ranks within the peer group at the end of the performance period. RTSRs are vested at the end of the performance period and are issued as common shares shortly after the performance measurement period is complete. The contractual life of the RTSRs is generally three years. If a participant is not employed on the date shares are vested, the RTSR award is forfeited, except in the case of death, retirement, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in our employment policy. To the extent performance conditions are not fully attained, RTSRs are forfeited.

The shares vested include the earned number of shares to be issued based on performance conditions, while shares forfeited include shares that will not be issued as a result of not fully attaining the maximum performance conditions.
As of June 30, 2020, there was approximately $0.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RTSRs. That cost is expected to be recognized over the vesting periods ending June 2021 through June 2022, with a weighted average vesting period of approximately one year, five months. The grant date fair value of RTSR awards was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. This valuation technique includes estimating the movement of stock prices and the effects of volatility, interest rates, and dividends. The weighted average grant date fair value was $20.78, $21.43, and $20.65 for RTSR awards granted in fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. During fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, 45,602, 67,130, and 37,535, RTSRs vested at a fair value of $0.5 million, $1.2 million, and $0.6 million. The RTSR awards vested represent the total number of shares vested prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
On May 7, 2018, Robert F. Schneider informed the Board of Directors of Kimball International of his decision to retire as our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chairman of the Board. With the announcement of his plan to retire, the Company and Mr. Schneider entered into an Amendment to Executive’s Terms of Employment (“Amendment”) which modified the terms of his RTSR awards so that a prorated portion of awards vest based on the portion of the applicable performance period that Mr. Schneider worked prior to his retirement. The Amendment was determined to be a Type III “Improbable to Probable” modification, as the awards were no longer probable of vesting prior to the Amendment. Mr. Schneider retired on October 31, 2018 and upon the June 30, 2019 and 2020 vesting dates received 39,112 and 6,569 shares, respectively, at a vested fair value of $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Restricted Share Units:
Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) were granted to officers and employees. Upon vesting, the outstanding number of RSUs and, if applicable, the value of dividends accumulated over the vesting period are converted to shares of common stock. The contractual life of the RSUs is generally three years, however certain awards have shorter or longer contractual lives in order to transition from other types of compensation or to be used as a long-term retention tool. Also, in connection with the redesign of the Company’s annual cash incentive plan certain employees were awarded time-based retention and performance-based transition units with a contractual life ranging from one to two years. The number of performance-based transition units to be issued is dependent upon the Company’s EBITDA during fiscal year 2020, with a percentage payout ranging from 0% to 100% of the target. If the employment of a holder of an RSU terminates before the RSU has vested for any reason other than death, retirement, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in our employment policy, the RSU and accumulated dividends will be forfeited.

As of June 30, 2020, there was approximately $2.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSU compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over vesting periods ending June 2021 through June 2022, with a weighted average vesting period of one year, five months. The fair value of RSU awards is based on the stock price at the date of award. The weighted average grant date fair value was $17.25, $16.38, and $17.14 for RSU awards granted in fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. During fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, 155,919, 149,323, and 79,315 RSUs vested at a fair value of $2.6 million, $2.2 million, and $1.0 million. The fair value is equal to the closing price of shares of our Common Stock on the date of the grant. Fair value is re-measured each reporting period for liability-classified awards that are redeemable in cash. The RSU awards vested represent the total number of shares vested prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
Mr. Schneider’s Amendment, in conjunction with his retirement, modified the terms of his existing RSU awards so that a prorated portion of awards vest based on the portion of the applicable period that Mr. Schneider worked prior to his retirement. The Amendment was determined to be a Type III “Improbable to Probable” modification, as the awards were no longer probable of vesting prior to the Amendment. Mr. Schneider retired on October 31, 2018 and in fiscal year 2019 received 26,397 shares at a vested fair value of $0.4 million.
Unrestricted Share Grants:
Unrestricted shares may be granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors as consideration for service to Kimball International. Unrestricted share grants do not have vesting periods, holding periods, restrictions on sale, or other restrictions. The fair value of unrestricted shares is based on the stock price at the date of the award. During fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, we granted a total of 33,334, 42,888, and 38,696 unrestricted shares of common stock at an average grant date fair value of $15.93, $15.42, and $18.31 for a total fair value, in thousands, of $531, $661, and $709. These shares are the total number of shares granted, prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Unrestricted shares were awarded to key employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors as compensation for director’s fees and as a result of directors’ elections to receive unrestricted shares in lieu of cash payment. Director’s fees are expensed over the period that directors earn the compensation.
Note 14 Fair Value
We categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
•Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
Our policy is to recognize transfers between these levels as of the end of each quarterly reporting period. There were no transfers between these levels during fiscal years 2020 and 2019.
We hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, consisting of $0.5 million in equity securities without readily determinable fair value and $1.5 million in stock warrants. The investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value is classified as a level 3 financial asset, as explained in the Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value section below. The investment in stock warrants is also classified as a level 3 financial asset and is accounted for as a
63
derivative instrument valued on a recurring basis, as explained in the Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value section below. See Note 16 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value, and Note 15 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in stock warrants. No purchases or sales of level 3 assets occurred during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The fair value of the contingent earn-out liability as of June 30, 2019 of $0.4 million was paid out during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, relating to fiscal year 2019 performance of D’style, an acquired business.
The nonqualified supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) assets consist primarily of equity funds, balanced funds, target date funds, a bond fund, and a money market fund. The SERP investment assets are offset by a SERP liability which represents our obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. See Note 16 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements:
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments when events or circumstances indicate a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the asset. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.
| Non-recurring Fair Value Adjustment | Level | Valuation Technique/Inputs Used | ||||||||||||
| Impairment of Right of Use Lease Assets and Related Assets Groups | 3 | Income - Based on a valuation model that measures the present value of remaining lease payments less estimated sublease income at a discount rate that captures the risk associated with the future cash flows. | ||||||||||||
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, due to ceasing use of four showrooms related to the transformation restructuring plan, we recognized an impairment loss of $2.2 million to reduce the related asset groups to fair value. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, we incurred an additional $1.5 million impairment loss on three of the showrooms under the transformation restructuring plan, due to a reduction in estimated future cash flows triggered by uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The impairment losses are included as a component of the Restructuring Expense line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income. The asset groups used to calculate impairment included the right-of-use lease assets, leasehold improvements, and lease liabilities.
65
Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value:
Financial instruments that are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that have carrying amounts which approximate fair value include the following:
| Financial Instrument | Level | Valuation Technique/Inputs Used | ||||||||||||
| Notes receivable | 2 | Market - Price approximated based on the assumed collection of receivables in the normal course of business, taking into account the customer’s non-performance risk. | ||||||||||||
| Equity securities without readily determinable fair value | 3 | Costs minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Impairment is assessed qualitatively. | ||||||||||||
On a periodic basis, but no less frequently than quarterly, the investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value is qualitatively assessed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment were to occur and was deemed to be other-than-temporary, the fair value of the investment would be estimated, and the amount by which the carrying value of the investment exceeds its fair value would be recorded as an impairment loss. See Note 16 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the carrying amount of this investment.
The carrying value of our cash deposit accounts, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and dividends payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity and immaterial non-performance risk.
Note 15 Derivative Instruments
Stock Warrants:
We hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, including $1.5 million in stock warrants purchased during fiscal year 2017. The investment in stock warrants is accounted for as a derivative instrument and is included in the Other Assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The stock warrants are convertible into equity shares of the privately-held company upon achieving certain milestones. The value of the stock warrants will fluctuate primarily in relation to the value of the privately-held company's underlying securities, either providing an appreciation in value or potentially expiring with no value. During the year ended June 30, 2020, the change in fair value of the stock warrants was not significant. See Note 14 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the valuation of these securities.
Information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are presented below.
Note 16 Investments
Investment Portfolio:
As of June 30, 2020, our investment portfolio consisted of certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market. As of June 30, 2019, our investment portfolio additionally held U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities and municipal bonds. Our secondary market certificates of deposit are classified as investment securities, being purchased in the secondary market through a broker and available to be sold in the secondary market. U.S. Treasury securities represent Treasury Bills and Notes of the U.S. government. Federal agency securities represent debt securities of a U.S. government sponsored agency, and certain of these securities are callable. Municipal bonds include general obligation bonds and revenue bonds, some of which are pre-refunded. Our investment policy dictates that municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities must be investment grade quality, and that certificates of deposit must be FDIC insured.
66
Our investment portfolio is available for use in current operations, therefore investments are recorded within Current Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contractual maturities of our investment portfolio were as follows:

All investments are classified as available-for-sale securities which are recorded at fair value. See Note 14 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the fair value of available-for-sale securities. The amortized cost basis reflects the original purchase price, with discounts and premiums amortized over the life of the available-for-sale securities. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in earnings when there is intent to sell or it is likely to be required to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the available-for-sale securities have incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and losses are recorded net of the tax-related effect as a component of Shareholders’ Equity.

67
Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan Investments:
We maintain a self-directed supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) in which executive employees are eligible to participate. The SERP utilizes a rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy. We recognize SERP investment assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets representing an obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. The SERP investment assets are classified as trading, and accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income in the Other Income (Expense) category. Adjustments made to revalue the SERP liability are also recognized in income as selling and administrative expenses and offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets. Net unrealized holding gains for securities held at June 30, 2020, 2019, and 2018 were, in thousands, $41, $223, and $585, respectively. SERP asset and liability balances were as follows:

Equity securities without readily determinable fair value:
We hold a total investment of $2.0 million in a privately-held company, including $0.5 million in equity securities without readily determinable fair value purchased during fiscal year 2016. The investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair value is included in the Other Assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 14 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the valuation of these securities. We do not hold a majority voting interest and are not the variable interest primary beneficiary of the privately-held company, thus consolidation is not required.

Note 20 Variable Interest Entities
Our involvement with variable interest entities (“VIEs”) is limited to situations in which we are not the primary beneficiary as we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Thus, consolidation is not required. Our involvement with VIEs consists of an investment in a privately-held company consisting of equity securities without readily determinable fair value and stock warrants, and notes receivable related to independent dealership financing.
The equity securities without readily determinable fair value and stock warrants were valued at $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, at both June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 and were included in the Other Assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information related to our investment in the privately-held company, see Note 14 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The carrying value of the notes receivable for independent dealership financing were $0.9 million and $1.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, and were included on the Receivables and Other Assets lines of our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We have no obligation to provide additional funding to the VIEs, and thus our exposure and risk of loss related to the VIEs is limited to the carrying value of the investment and notes receivable. Financial support provided by Kimball International to the VIEs was limited to the items discussed above during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
Note 21 Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses of Notes Receivable
We monitor credit quality and associated risks of notes receivable on an individual basis based on criteria such as financial stability of the party and collection experience in conjunction with general economic and market conditions. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, we had no material past due outstanding notes receivable.
