Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

TESSCO Technologies Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (TESSCO, we, or the Company), architects and delivers innovative product and value chain solutions to support wireless systems. The Company provides marketing and sales services, knowledge and supply chain management, product-solution delivery and control systems utilizing extensive internet and information technology. Approximately 97% of the Company’s sales are made to customers in the United States. The Company takes orders in several ways, including phone, fax, online and through electronic data interchange. Almost all of the Company’s sales are made in United States Dollars.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the interim periods presented. These statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been omitted from these statements, as permitted under the applicable rules and regulations. The results of operations presented in the accompanying interim Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt the standard on the first day of the Company’s 2021 fiscal year.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other–Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Table of Contents

Recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted:

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The ASU also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to the nature, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this standard on the first day of the 2020 fiscal year, using a modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $4,398,300 and lease liabilities of $4,420,800 for operating leases as of June 30, 2019. Prior periods were not adjusted to reflect this change.

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new standard changes the classification of certain cash payments and receipts within the cash flow statement. Specifically, payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, including third-party costs, premiums paid, and other fees paid to lenders that are directly related to the debt prepayment or debt extinguishment, excluding accrued interest, are now classified as financing activities. Previously, these payments were classified as operating expenses. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, included herein.

Note 3. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019 includes $338,900 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2018 included $320,500 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense is primarily related to our Performance Stock Units (PSUs), Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Stock Options, granted or outstanding under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Stock and Incentive Plan (the “1994 Plan”). On June 4, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the 2019 Stock and Incentive Plan of the Company, subject to shareholder approval, which occurred at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 25, 2019. Effective upon shareholder approval of the 2019 Stock and Incentive Plan, no additional awards may be granted under the 1994 Plan, although awards outstanding under the 1994 Plan remain outstanding and governed by its terms.

Performance Stock Units: The following table summarizes the activity under the Company’s PSU program under the 1994 Plan, for the first quarter of fiscal 2020:


	Three Months	Weighted
	Ended	Average Fair
	June 30,	Value at Grant
	2019	Date (per unit)
Unvested shares available for issue under outstanding PSUs, beginning of period	98,306	$	14.55
PSUs Granted	45,500		16.37
PSUs Vested	(26,506)		14.07
PSUs Forfeited/Cancelled	(24,000)		15.58
Unvested shares available for issue under outstanding PSUs, end of period	93,300	$	15.31

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the grant of PSUs to select key employees, providing them with the opportunity to earn up to 45,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate, depending upon whether certain earnings per share targets, and individual performance metrics, are satisfied, for fiscal year 2020. These not-yet-earned PSUs have only one measurement year (fiscal 2020), and assuming the performance

Table of Contents

metrics are met to a sufficient extent, the shares earned at the end of fiscal 2020 on the basis of that performance will vest in four equal installments beginning on or about May 15, 2020 and continuing on the same date in calendar 2021, 2022 and 2023, provided that the respective employee remains employed by or associated with the Company on each such date. Pursuant to the typical PSU award agreement, however, performance metrics are deemed met upon the occurrence of a change in control, and shares earned are issued earlier upon the occurrence of a change in control, or death or disability of the employee, or upon termination of the employee’s employment without cause or by the employee for good reason, as those terms are defined in the applicable PSU award agreement.

The PSUs cancelled during fiscal 2020 related to the fiscal 2019 grant of PSUs, which also had a one-year measurement period (fiscal 2019). The PSUs were cancelled because the applicable fiscal 2019 performance targets were not fully attained. Per the provisions of the 1994 Plan, the shares related to these forfeited and cancelled PSUs were added back to the 1994 Plan and became available for future issuance under the 1994 Plan.

If all PSUs granted thus far in fiscal 2020 are assumed to be earned on account of the applicable performance metrics being fully met, or otherwise in accordance with terms of the applicable award agreement, total unrecognized compensation costs on these PSUs plus all earned but unvested PSUs would be approximately $1.0 million as of June 30, 2019, and would be expensed through fiscal 2023. To the extent the maximum number of PSUs granted in fiscal 2020 are not earned, stock-based compensation related to these awards will differ from this amount.

Restricted Stock Units: The Company has made annual RSU awards under the 1994 Plan to its non-employee directors over recent years. On May 10, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of an aggregate of 21,000 RSUs, ratably to the six non-employee directors, including the Chairman of the Board of the Company. These RSU awards provide for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in four equal installments beginning on May 10, 2020 and continuing on the same date in 2021, 2022 and 2023, provided that the director remains associated with the Company on each such date (or meets other criteria as prescribed in the applicable award agreement).

On August 8, 2017, the Compensation Committee, with the concurrence of the full Board of Directors, approved the grant of an aggregate of up to 56,000 RSUs to several senior executives. The number of shares earned by a recipient is determined by multiplying the number of RSUs covered by the award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the cumulative amount of dividends (regular, ordinary and special) declared and paid, per share, on the Common Stock, over an earnings period of up to four years, and the denominator of which is $3.20. Subject to earlier issuance upon the occurrence of certain events (as described in the applicable award agreement), any earned shares are issued and distributed to the recipient upon the fourth anniversary of the award date. As of June 30, 2019, 8,000 of these 56,000 RSUs have been canceled due to employee departures, leaving 48,000 of the 56,000 RSUs outstanding. An additional 2,000 RSU’s with similar terms (but with a shorter earnings period) were awarded in fiscal 2019. As a result, an aggregate of 50,000 dividend-based RSUs currently remain outstanding.

As of June 30, 2019, there was approximately $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all outstanding RSUs, assuming all shares are earned. Unrecognized compensation costs are expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted average period of approximately three years.

PSUs and RSUs are expensed based on the grant date fair value, calculated as the closing price of TESSCO common stock as reported by NASDAQ on the date of grant minus the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the common stock before the award vests, because dividends or dividend-equivalent amounts do not

Table of Contents

accrue and are not paid on unvested PSUs and RSUs.

The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur rather than estimate expected forfeitures. To the extent that forfeitures occur, stock-based compensation related to the restricted awards may be different from the Company’s expectations.

Stock Options: As summarized below, in the first three months of fiscal 2020, stock options for an aggregate of 135,000 shares of common stock were granted, all under the 1994 Plan. These stock options have exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date, and the terms thereof provide for 25% vesting after one year and then 1/36 per month over the following three years, subject, however, to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events, as described in the applicable award agreement. The grant date value of the Company’s stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, based upon facts and assumptions existing at the date of grant.

The value of each option at the date of grant is amortized as compensation expense over the service period. This occurs without regard to subsequent changes in stock price, volatility, or interest rates over time, provided the option remains outstanding.

The following tables summarize the pertinent information for outstanding options.


	Three Months	Weighted

As of June 30, 2019, there was approximately $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to these options. These unrecognized compensation costs are expected to be recognized ratably over a period of approximately three years.

Note 4. Borrowings Under Revolving Credit Facility

On October 19, 2017, the Company and its primary operating subsidiaries, as co-borrowers, and SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent and Lender, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as a Lender, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the terms of a previously established secured Revolving Credit Facility with the same lenders , and which provides for, among other things, an increase in the Company’s borrowing limit from up to $35 million to up to $75 million. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this and the following three paragraphs have the meanings ascribed to each in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

In addition to increasing the Company’s borrowing limit, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement extended the maturity date of the secured Revolving Credit Facility to October 19, 2021. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also set forth financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio to be maintained at any time during which the borrowing availability, as determined in accordance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, falls below $10 million, as well as terms that could limit our ability to engage in specified transactions or activities, including (but not limited to) investments and acquisitions, sales of assets, payment of dividends, issuance of additional debt and other matters. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit, a $12.5 million sublimit for swingline loans and an accordion feature which, subject to certain conditions, could increase the aggregate amount of the commitments to up to $125 million, with the optional commitments being provided by existing Lenders or new lenders reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. No Lender is obligated to increase its commitment. Availability is determined in accordance with a Borrowing Base, which has been expanded to include not only Eligible Receivables but also Eligible Inventory and is generally: (A) the sum of (i) 85% of Eligible Receivables; (ii) the Inventory Formula Amount for all Eligible Inventory which is aged less than 181 days; and (iii) the lesser of (x) $4 million and (y) the Inventory Formula Amount for all Eligible Inventory which is aged at least 181 days; minus (B) Reserves. Upon closing, there was $23.4 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement initially accrue interest from the applicable borrowing date at an Applicable Rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Eurodollar Rate is the rate per annum obtained by dividing (i) LIBOR by (ii) a percentage equal to 1.00 minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage. When the Applicable Rate is the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Margin is 1.50% if Average Availability is greater than or equal to $15 million, and 1.75% otherwise. On June 30, 2019, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the secured Revolving Credit Facility was 3.94%. Under certain circumstances, the Applicable Rate is subject to change at the Lenders’ option from the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Following an Event of Default, in addition to changing the Applicable Rate to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, the Lenders’ may at their option set the Applicable Margin at 0.50% if the Base Rate applies or 1.75% if the Eurodollar Rate applies, and increase the Applicable Rate by an additional 200 basis points. The Applicable Rate adjusts on the first Business Day of each calendar month. The Company is required to pay a monthly Commitment Fee on the average daily unused portion of the secured Revolving Credit Facility provided for pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, at a per annum rate equal to 0.25%.

In connection with the entering into of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company, the other Company affiliate borrowers under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and other subsidiaries of the Company, referred to collectively as the Loan Parties, executed and delivered to SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent, a Reaffirmation Agreement, pursuant to which the obligations of the Loan Parties under a Guaranty and Security Agreement previously delivered by them in connection with the secured Revolving Credit Facility as previously existing (including the previously existing guaranty by the Loan Parties not

Table of Contents

otherwise Borrowers and the previously existing grant by the Company and the other Loan Parties of a continuing first priority security interest in inventory, accounts receivable and deposit accounts, and on all documents, instruments, general intangibles, letter of credit rights, and all proceeds) were ratified and confirmed as respects the Obligations arising from time to time under the secured Revolving Credit Facility provided for under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and as respects certain other obligations of the Loan Parties to the Lenders and their affiliates arising from time to time, relating to swaps, hedges and cash management and other bank products.

Borrowings may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and as further provided in, and subject to the applicable terms of, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2019, borrowings under the secured Revolving Credit Facility totaled $20.1 million and, therefore, the Company had $54.9 million available for borrowing as of June 30, 2019, subject to the Borrowing Base limitation and compliance with the other applicable terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the covenants referenced above. The line of credit has a lockbox arrangement associated with it and therefore the outstanding balance is classified as a current liability on our balance sheet. As of March 31, 2019, borrowings under the secured Revolving Credit Facility totaled $14.4 million and, therefore, the Company had $60.6 million available on its revolving line of credit facility as of March 31, 2019, again subject to the Borrowing Base limitation and compliance with the other applicable terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the covenants referenced above.

Note 5. Earnings Per Share

The Company presents the computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) on a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common shares are excluded from the calculation if they are determined to be anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS was equal to basic EPS for the fiscal 2020 first quarter because the Company operated at a loss. The number of diluted weighted-average common shares would have been 8,708,182 if the Company was at a positive earning position. At June 30, 2019, stock options with respect to 726,500 shares of common stock were outstanding, of which 50,000 were anti-dilutive. At July 1, 2018, stock options with respect to 589,000 shares of common stock were outstanding, of which 60,000 were anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive PSUs or RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2019 or July 1, 2018, respectively.

Note 6. Business Segments

The Company evaluates its business within two segments: commercial and retail. The commercial segment consists of the following customer markets: (1) public carriers, that are generally responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers; and (2) value-added resellers and integrators, which results from the consolidation of our previously identified value-added resellers, government channels and private system operator markets, and reflects implementation over the 2019 fiscal year of an enhanced go-to-market strategy. This go-to-market strategy and the corresponding consolidation of these customer markets is designed to increase sales opportunities across the consolidated markets, as well as to provide better coverage to customers and to better align territories with supplier partners. In conjunction with our identification of the value-added resellers and integrators as a newly identified market, as described above, market revenue and gross profit as reported for the prior periods reflected in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been reclassified accordingly.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations . This commentary should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

Business Overview and Environment

TESSCO architects and delivers innovative product and value chain solutions to support wireless broadband systems. Although we sell products to customers in many countries, approximately 97% of our sales are made to customers in the United States. We have operations and office facilities in Hunt Valley, Maryland, Reno, Nevada and San Antonio, Texas.

The Company evaluates its business within two segments: commercial and retail. The commercial segment consists of the following customer markets: (1) public carriers, that are generally responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers; and (2) value-added resellers and integrators, which results from the consolidation of our previously identified value-added resellers, government channels and private system operator markets, and reflects implementation over the 2019 fiscal year of an enhanced go-to-market strategy. This go-to-market strategy and the corresponding consolidation of these customer markets is designed to increase sales opportunities across the consolidated markets, as well as to provide better coverage to customers and to better align territories with supplier partners. The retail segment consists of the retail market which includes retailers, independent dealer agents and carriers.

We offer a wide range of products that are classified into four product categories: base station infrastructure; network systems; installation, test and maintenance; and mobile device accessories. Base station infrastructure products are used to build, repair and upgrade wireless telecommunication systems. Sales of traditional base station infrastructure products, such as base station radios, cable and transmission lines and antennas are in part dependent on capital spending in the wireless communications industry. Network systems products are used to build and upgrade computing and internet networks. We have also been growing our offering of wireless broadband, distributed antennas systems (DAS), network equipment, security and surveillance products, which are not as dependent on the overall capital spending of the industry. Installation, test and maintenance products are used to install, tune, and maintain wireless communications equipment. This category is made up of sophisticated analysis equipment and various frequency, voltage and power-measuring devices, replacement parts and components as well as an assortment of tools, hardware and supplies required by service technicians. Mobile device accessories products include cellular phone and data device accessories .

Our first quarter fiscal 2020 revenue decreased by 13.4% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. First quarter fiscal 2020 revenue in the commercial segment and retail segment decreased 6.8% and 28.8%, respectively, as compared to the first fiscal quarter of 2019. The decline in our commercial segment revenue was driven by a decrease in our public carrier market due to the project-oriented nature of this business. Several large customers either adjusted their forecasts or pushed out their product requirements from the first fiscal quarter into the remainder of the year. For the retail segment, revenue decreased due to significantly lower revenues from one of our more significant retail customers following its recent acquisition, change in business model and subsequent transition of its business elsewhere, as well as ongoing overall market softness. Among our product categories, revenue decreased in our base station infrastructure, network systems, installation, test and maintenance, and mobile device accessories categories by 7.1%, 1.0%, 18.9% and 28.7%, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to the same quarter last year.

Our first quarter fiscal year 2020 gross profit decreased by 17.7%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of the decrease in revenue discussed above. Gross

Table of Contents

margin for the first quarter fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2019 was 19.3% and 20.3%, respectively. The decline in gross margin was a result of the impact of tariffs and inventory write-offs. Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 were down 3.0% compared to the first quarter fiscal year 2019. The decrease is related to decreased compensation, benefits, and rewards expense. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in occupancy expense and distribution support expense. The Company also incurred a restructuring charge related to severance expenses. As a result, net income decreased by $3.7 million or 315.2% and diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.42 or 323.1% compared to the prior-year quarter.

Our ongoing ability to earn revenues and gross profits from customers and vendors looking to us for product and supply chain solutions depends upon a number of factors. The terms, and accordingly the factors, applicable to each relationship often differ. Among these factors are the strength of the customer’s or vendor’s business, the supply and demand for the product or service, including price stability, changing customer or vendor requirements, and our ability to support the customer or vendor and to continually demonstrate that we can improve the way they do business. In addition, the agreements or arrangements on which our customer and vendor relationships are based are typically of limited duration, typically do not include any obligation in respect of any specific product purchase or sale and are terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise relatively short notice. Because of the nature of our business, we have been affected from time to time in the past by the loss and changes in the business habits of significant customer and vendor relationships, and expect that we will again be so affected from time to time in the future. Our customer relationships could also be affected by wireless carrier consolidation or the overall global economic environment.

The wireless communications distribution industry is competitive and fragmented and is comprised of several national distributors. In addition, many manufacturers sell direct. Barriers to entry for distributors are relatively low, particularly in the mobile devices and accessories market, and the risk of new competitors entering the marketplace is high. Consolidation of larger wireless carriers has and will most likely continue to impact our current and potential customer base. Our ability to maintain customer and vendor relationships is subject to competitive pressures and challenges. We believe, however, that our strength in service, the breadth and depth of our product offering, our information technology system, industry experience and knowledge, and our large customer base and purchasing relationships with approximately 400 manufacturers, provide us with a significant competitive advantage over new entrants to the marketplace.

Results of Operations

First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2020 Compared with First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2019

Total Revenues. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 13.4% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Revenues in our public carrier market, value-added resellers and integrators market and retail market decreased by 17.0%, 0.5% and 28.8%, respectively. The decline in the commercial segment was primarily due to the project-oriented nature of this business. Several large customers adjusted their forecasts or pushed out their product requirements from the first fiscal quarter into the remainder of the fiscal year. The decline in the retail segment was driven by significantly lower revenues from one of our more significant retail customers following its recent acquisition, change in business model and subsequent transition of its business elsewhere, as well as ongoing overall market softness.

Total Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased by 17.7% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume combined with the impact of tariffs and inventory write-offs. Overall gross profit margin decreased from 20.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 to 19.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Within our commercial segment, gross profit margin in our public carrier market decreased from 13.9% to 12.7% due to changes in customer mix. Gross profit margin in our value-added resellers and integrators market increased slightly from 24.3% to 24.5%. Within our retail segment, gross profit margin decreased from 20.3% to 15.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to 2019, primarily due to the impact of tariffs and inventory write-offs.

As discussed above under the heading “Business Overview and Environment,” our ongoing ability to earn revenues and gross profits from customers and vendors depends upon a number of factors which often differ for each relationship. Agreements or arrangements on which these relationships are based typically do not include any obligation in respect of any specific product purchase or sale, are of limited duration, and are terminable by either party upon relatively short notice. We have been affected from time to time in the past by the loss and changes in the business habits of significant customer and vendor relationships, and expect that we will again be so affected from time to time in the future.

Selling, General, Administrative and Restructuring Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $864,800 for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 19.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, to 21.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

The decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease of $0.7 million in compensation and benefits expense and a decrease of $0.6 million in rewards expense, during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. These decreases were partially offset by the $0.3 million increase in distribution support expense, primarily related to variable operations costs related to large carrier customers, and the $0.2 million increase in occupancy expense.

The Company also incurred a $0.5 million restructuring charge related to severance expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

We continually evaluate the credit worthiness of our existing customer receivable portfolio and provide an appropriate reserve based on this evaluation. We also evaluate the credit worthiness of prospective and current customers and make decisions regarding extension of credit terms to such customers based on this evaluation. We incurred bad debt expense of $135,400 and $356,200 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and July 1, 2018, respectively.

Table of Contents

Interest, Net. Net interest expense increased from $174,400 for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 to $208,700 for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Increased focus on business opportunities for sales to our public carrier customers has required us to maintain increased inventory levels, and at times has resulted in increased borrowings and interest expense under our secured Revolving Credit Facility (discussed in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). We expect this higher level of interest expense to continue for at least the next several quarters.

Income Taxes, Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share. The effective tax rate increased from 25.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 to 29.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate is the result of permanent and other tax adjustments remaining consistent year over year while pre-tax income decreased year over year. Tax benefits were fully recognized in fiscal 2019. Net income decreased 315.2% and diluted earnings per share decreased 323.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to the corresponding prior-year quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and July 1, 2018.


	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2019		July 1, 2018
Cash flow used in operating activities	$	(1,985,900)	$	(1,706,200)
Cash flow used in investing activities		(1,870,300)		(1,437,300)
Cash flow provided by financing activities		3,843,100		3,133,100
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(13,100)	$	(10,400)

We used $2.0 million of net cash from operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2020, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $1.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2019. This fiscal 2020 outflow was driven by a net loss and an increase in inventory, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and a decrease in accounts receivable. Both current and potential opportunities within our public carrier business caused a significant investment in inventory. Accounts payable also increased in response to higher inventory levels.

Net cash used in investing activities of $1.9 million for the first three months of fiscal 2020 increased from cash used of $1.4 million for the first three months of fiscal 2019. Cash used in both periods was due to capital expenditures largely comprised of investments in information technology.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million for the first three months of fiscal 2020, compared to $3.1 million provided in the first three months of fiscal 2019. We utilized our asset based secured Revolving Credit Facility during the first three months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, leading to a cash inflow of $5.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, during those periods. During the first three months of both fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, we had cash outflows of $1.7 million, due to cash dividends paid to shareholders.

On October 19, 2017, the Company and its primary operating subsidiaries, as co-borrowers, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as a lender (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the terms of a previously established secured Revolving Credit Facility and which provides for, among

Table of Contents

other things, an increase the Company’s borrowing limit from up to $35 million to up to $75 million. In addition to expanding the borrowing limit, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement extended the applicable maturity date to October 19, 2021. As of June 30, 2019, borrowings under the secured Revolving Credit Facility totaled $20.1 million; therefore, we then had $54.9 million available, subject to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with the other applicable terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the financial and other covenants discussed in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement accrue interest at the rates, and the Company is required to pay a monthly commitment fee, as also discussed in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In connection with the entering into of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company and the other Company affiliate borrowers under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and other subsidiaries, referred to collectively as the Loan Parties, executed and delivered to SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent, a Reaffirmation Agreement, pursuant to which the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Guaranty and Security Agreement previously delivered by the Loan Parties in connection with the secured Revolving Credit Facility as previously existing (including the previously existing guaranty by the Loan Parties not otherwise Borrowers and the previously existing grant by the Company and the other Loan Parties of a continuing first priority security interest in inventory, accounts receivable and deposit accounts, and on all documents, instruments, general intangibles, letter of credit rights, and all proceeds) were ratified and confirmed as respects the Obligations arising from time to time under the secured Revolving Credit Facility provided for pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

We have made quarterly dividend payments to holders of our common stock since the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Our most recent quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share was paid in June 2019. On July 16, 2019, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.20 per share, payable on August 21, 2019 to shareholders of record as of August 7, 2019.

Any future declaration of dividends and the establishment of any corresponding record and payment dates remains subject to further determination from time to time by the Board of Directors.

We believe that our existing cash, payments from customers and availability under our secured Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our operations for at least the next twelve months. To minimize interest expense, our policy is to apply excess available cash to reduce the balance outstanding from time to time on our secured Revolving Credit Facility. Our increased focus over the past several quarters on business opportunities for sales to our public carrier customers led to the recent expansion of our secured Revolving Credit Facility, and has at times resulted in increased borrowings and dependence on that facility. We expect this trend to continue, although at present we have no plans for any further expansion of the facility. If we were to undertake an acquisition or other major capital purchases that require funds in excess of existing sources of liquidity, we would look to sources of funding from additional credit facilities, debt and/or equity issuances. As of June 30, 2019, we do not have any material capital expenditure commitments.

In addition, our liquidity could be negatively impacted by decreasing revenues and profits resulting from a decrease in demand for our products or a reduction in capital expenditures by our customers, or by the weakened financial conditions of our customers or suppliers, in each case as a result of a downturn in the global economy, among other factors.

These forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “plans,” “should,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words or phrases does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward looking. Forward looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those described in or contemplated by any such forward-looking statement for a variety of reasons, including those risks identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other periodic reports filed with the SEC, under the heading “Risk Factors” and otherwise. Consequently, the reader is cautioned to consider all forward-looking statements in light of the risks to which they are subject.

We are not able to identify or control all circumstances that could occur in the future that may adversely affect our business and operating results. Without limiting the risks that we describe in our periodic reports and elsewhere, among the risks that could lead to a materially adverse impact on our business or operating results are the following: termination or non-renewal of limited duration agreements or arrangements with our vendors and affinity partners that are typically terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise relatively short notice; loss of significant customers or relationships, including affinity relationships; loss of customers either directly or indirectly as a result of consolidation among large wireless service carriers and others within the wireless communications industry; the strength of our customers', vendors' and affinity partners' business; increasingly negative or prolonged adverse economic conditions, including those adversely affecting consumer confidence or consumer or business spending, or otherwise adversely affecting our vendors or customers, including their access to capital or liquidity or our customers’ demand for, or ability to fund or pay for, our products and services; our dependence on a relatively small number of suppliers and vendors, which could hamper our ability to maintain appropriate inventory levels and meet customer demand; changes in customer

and product mix that affects gross margin; effect of “conflict minerals” regulations on the supply and cost of certain of our products; failure of our information technology system or distribution system; system security or data protection breaches; technology changes in the wireless communications industry, or technological failures, which could lead to significant inventory obsolescence and/or our inability to offer key products that our customers demand; third-party freight carrier interruption; increased competition, including from manufacturers or national and regional distributors of the products we sell and the absence of significant barriers to entry which could result in pricing and other pressures on profitability and market share; our relative bargaining power and inability to negotiate favorable terms with our vendors and customers; our inability to access capital and obtain financing as and when needed; claims against us for breach of the intellectual property rights of third parties; product liability claims; our inability to protect certain intellectual property, including systems and technologies on which we rely; our inability to hire or retain our key professionals, management and staff; and the possibility that, for unforeseen reasons, we may be delayed in entering into or performing, or may fail to enter into or perform, anticipated contracts or may otherwise be delayed in realizing or fail to realize anticipated revenues or anticipated savings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures .

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the period covered by this quarterly report, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATIO N

Item 1. Legal Proceedings .

Lawsuits and claims are filed against us from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any lawsuits or claims currently pending against the Company, individually or in the aggregate, are material, or will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, from time to time, we are also subject to review from federal and state taxing authorities in order to validate the amounts of income, sales and/or use taxes which have been claimed and remitted. Currently, our New York income tax return for tax year 2017, California sales tax returns for the period January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018 and Illinois sales tax returns for the period March 1, 2018 through July 31, 2018 are under examination by applicable taxing authorities.

As we are routinely audited by state taxing authorities, we have estimated exposure and established reserves for our estimated sales tax audit liability.

Item 1A. Risk Factors .

There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. Nevertheless, information that we have disclosed or will disclose from time to time in our public filings (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act) may provide additional data or information relative to our previously disclosed risk factors. We are not able to identify or control all circumstances that could occur in the future that may adversely affect our business and operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties that management is not aware of or focused on, or that management currently deems immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (" Agreement ") is made as of the ___ day of July, 2019 (the “ Effective Date ”), between ATAPCO PADONIA LLC , a Maryland limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as " Landlord "), and TESSCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. , a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as " Tenant ").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Tenant currently leases approximately 102,164 rentable square feet (the “ Premises ”) known as suites 100 and 205 on the first and second (1st & 2nd) floors of the building, located at 375 West Padonia Road, Timonium, MD 21093 (the “ Building ”), pursuant to an Agreement of Lease dated November 3, 2003 by and between Atrium Building, LLC (“ Original Landlord ”) and Tenant, as amended by First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated January 23, 2007, by Second Amendment to Lease Agreement dated May 1, 2007, by Third Amendment to Lease Agreement dated February 15, 2011 (the “ Third Amendment to Lease ”), by Fourth Amendment to Lease Agreement dated June 4, 2012, and by Fifth Amendment to Lease Agreement dated March 31, 2017 (collectively, the “ Lease Agreement ”); and

WHEREAS, by an Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Security Deposits, dated as of December 17, 2015, by and between Original Landlord and Landlord, Original Landlord assigned all of its rights and obligations under the Lease Agreement to Landlord; and

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant hereby desire to extend the Lease Term and modify certain provisions of the Lease, as set more particularly set forth below.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Incorporation of Recitals . All of the recitals set forth above in the "WHEREAS" Clauses are hereby made an integral part of this Agreement.

2. Lease Term Extension . The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for a period of five (5) years, commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2025 (the “ Fifth Renewal Term ”).

3. Base Rent . The Base Rent payable for the Premises for the Fifth Renewal Term shall be as follows:

Period of Fifth Renewal Term :	Period Rent :	Monthly Base Rent :

1/1/21 - 12/31/21	$2,400,854.00	$200,071.17
1/1/22 - 12/31/22	$2,460,875.35	$205,072.95

1/1/25 - 12/31/25	$2,650,093.59	$220,841.13

4. Modification of Base Year Building Expenses and Taxes .

(a) Beginning on the first day of the Fifth Renewal Term, the term “Base Year Building Expenses” as set forth in Section 1.1.9 of the Lease, as previously modified, shall mean the actual Building Expenses per rentable square foot incurred by Landlord for the 2021 calendar year.

(b) Beginning on the first day of the Fifth Renewal Term, the term “Base Year Taxes” as set forth in Section 1.1.10 of the Lease, as previously modified, shall mean the actual Taxes per rentable square foot incurred by Landlord for the 2021 calendar year.

5. New Tenant Allowance .

(a) At any time after execution of this Amendment and continuing thereafter until the remainder of the Term, including the Fifth Renewal Term, Tenant shall have the right to perform improvements to the Premises in accordance with Section 10 of the Lease (the “ New Tenant Improvements ”). Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an amount equal to One Million Twenty-One Thousand Six Hundred Forty and 00/100 Dollars ($1,021,640.00) (the “ 2019 Allowance ”) towards the costs incurred by Tenant in completing the New Tenant Improvements. The 2019 Allowance shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant for amounts actually paid by Tenant in connection with the New Tenant Improvements to Tenant’s vendors, suppliers or contractors, provided that Landlord shall have received (i) a certificate signed by Tenant setting forth (A) that the sum then requested was paid by Tenant to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers and other persons who have rendered services or furnished materials in connection with work on the Premises, and (B) a complete description of such services and materials and the amounts paid or to be paid to each of such persons in respect thereof; (ii) paid receipts or such other proof of payment as Landlord shall reasonably require for all such work completed and (iii) Landlord’s receipt of unconditional lien waivers executed by Tenant’s general contractor and all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers and similar persons showing full payment for the cost of all the New Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a written request for reimbursement from Tenant and shall debit the 2019 Allowance therefor.

(b) In the event Tenant does not use the entire 2019 Allowance on New Tenant Improvements, Tenant may elect to offset Base Rent in the amount of the unused 2019 Allowance, subject to the following: (i) Tenant may not offset Base Rent by more than Two Hundred Four Thousand Three Hundred Twenty-Eight and 00/100 Dollars ($204,328.00) regardless of whether the unused potion of the 2019 Allowance is greater than this amount; and (ii) Tenant may not offset Base Rent until after the second calendar year of the Fifth Renewal Term.

6. Renewal Option . Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term of the Lease for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (the “ Sixth Renewal Term ”) to commence immediately upon the expiration of the Fifth Renewal Term, provided Tenant is not in default of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease (i) on the date Tenant notifies Landlord of its intent to exercise for the Sixth Renewal Term and (ii) on the date the Sixth Renewal Term is otherwise scheduled to commence. In order to exercise its options granted herein, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its intent to renew not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Fifth Renewal Term. Upon the exercise of this renewal option, the Lease shall continue under all the same terms and conditions with the exception that the new Base Rent for the Sixth Renewal Term shall be the greater of (A) the Prevailing Market Rate as defined in the Third Amendment to Lease, or (B) the then current Base Rent escalated at 2.5% for the first year of the Sixth Renewal Term, and the Base Rent for the Sixth Renewal Term shall escalate 2.5% annually thereafter. Except as set forth in this Paragraph, Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of the Lease.

7. Right of First Offer .

(a) Commencing on the beginning of the Fifth Renewal Term, and provided that Tenant is open for business in the entire Premises (and has not reduced the size of the Premises in any subsequent amendments or agreements after the date of this Amendment) (the “ ROFO Conditions ”), Tenant shall have a continuing right of first offer in connection with a lease from Landlord of any premises becoming available in the Building during the Term (the “ Option Space ”), subject to the rights of other tenants in the Building existing as of the date of this Amendment, and further subject to Landlord’s right to renew or extend the terms of existing tenant leases. The first time that any portion of the Option Space becomes available for lease, provided

that Tenant has satisfied the ROFO Conditions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the existence of the availability of the Option Space which is then available (“ Landlord’s Offer Notice ”) and the then Prevailing Market Rate (as defined in Section 9 of the Third Amendment to Lease) for the Option Space. Tenant shall exercise the foregoing right of first offer by delivering written notice of its intention to lease the Option Space described in Landlord’s Offer Notice within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Offer Notice.

(b) If Tenant exercises its rights in a timely fashion under Subparagraph (a) above, (i) the length of the term of the Lease for the Option Space shall be the longer of (A) a period which is coterminous with the then current Term, or (B) three (3) years, (ii) the Base Rent for the Option Space shall be equal to the then Prevailing Market Rate (as defined in Section 9 of the Third Amendment to Lease), increasing annually by 2.5%, (iii) any additional rent due in connection with the lease of the Option Space and all other terms relating to the rental of the Option Space (except to the extent modified by this Paragraph) shall be the same as for the Premises, and (iv) the Option Space shall be deemed to be part of the Premises for all purposed under the Lease, commencing on the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Option Space to Tenant, provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent or additional rent for the Option Space until the earlier of (y) the date on which Tenant commences operation of its business within the Option Space or (z) the date which is ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord’s Offer Notice. If the balance of the remaining Term of the Lease is less than three (3) years, the then current Term of the Lease shall be extended to expire coterminously with the lease for the Option Space. In such event, such extension of the Term for the original Premises and the Base Rent due in connection therewith shall be included in the Amendment described in Subparagraph (c) below.

(c) Within thirty (30) days after the date of the Landlord’s Offer Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to the Lease which adds the Option Space to the definition of the “Premises” and sets forth the Base Rent and such other matters which are at variance with the terms and conditions of the Lease.

(d) If (i) Tenant is then in default under the terms of the Lease at the time of exercising its rights under this Paragraph, (ii) Tenant fails to deliver the requisite notice to Landlord exercising such right within the fifteen (15) day period specified above, (iii) Tenant fails to execute an amendment to the Lease for the Option Space within the thirty (30) day period, or (iv) Tenant declines to exercise its rights as provided above as to the Option Space, then Landlord shall be free to proceed to lease to a third party the Option Space which was the subject of Landlord’s Offer Notice. The rights of first offer shall not be severed from the Lease, or separately sold, assigned or transferred, but may only be assigned or transferred as a part of the Lease.

(e) The provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall not become effective until the first day of the Fifth Renewal Term, and upon the first day of the Fifth Renewal Term, Paragraphs 10, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 of the Third Amendment to Lease shall be of no further force or effect.

8. Landlord’s Improvement Work .

(a) Landlord shall perform the work in the Building and on the Property as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “ Landlord’s Improvement Work ”). All of Landlord’s Improvement Work shall be performed by Landlord in a good and workmanlike manner and in keeping with general construction standards in the community.

(b) During Landlord’s performance of the “ Parking Structure Repair Work ” (as defined in Exhibit A ), Landlord shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to Tenant’s use of the Premises.

(c) Landlord shall not (i) install a new two-level parking garage in the area colored in yellow on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof, or (ii) replace the existing parking structure located to the rear of the Building, without Tenant’s prior written consent.

9. Broker . Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that it has not had any dealing with any real estate broker or finder with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement except JLL, whose commission Landlord shall pay pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and JLL, and agrees to hold the other harmless from and against any and all damages, costs and expenses resulting from any claim(s) for a brokerage commission or finder’s fee that may be asserted against the other by any broker or finder with whom it has dealt (other than JLL).

10. Miscellaneous and Signatures .

(a) Gender and Context . As used herein, all terms shall include the singular and plural, and all genders as the context may reasonably require.

(b) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more fully or partially executed counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original binding the signer thereof against the other signing parties, but all counterparts together will constitute one and the same instrument, and any counterpart may be delivered by facsimile or email (or similar electronic transmission).

(c) Controlling Law . This Agreement shall be interpreted, governed and construed pursuant to the laws of the State where the Demised Premises are located.

(d) Severability . In the event that any provisions or clauses of this Agreement conflict with or are contrary to applicable law, such conflicting or contrary provisions shall not affect any other provisions which can be given effect without the conflicting provisions, and to this end, the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable to allow the striking of any and all provisions which conflict with or are contrary to law while all other provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be effective and fully operable.

(e) Time of Essence . Time is of the essence, with respect to all the obligations and covenants in this Agreement.

(f) Ratification . All of the other provisions of the Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect except to the extent that they are inconsistent with the foregoing.

(g) Defined Terms . Landlord and Tenant agree that all capitalized terms, if any, not defined herein shall have the applicable definition given to said terms in the Lease.

(h) Entire Agreement . This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any purported agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or waive it in whole or in part unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

[Signatures appear on the following page.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
