2. SignificantAccounting Policies

 

TheCompany’s significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our AnnualReport.

 

Significantchanges to our accounting policies as a result of adopting new accounting standards are discussed below.

 

Recent AccountingStandards Adopted

 

In November 2023, Financial Accounting StandardsBoard (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and address requests from investorsfor additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. Our Annual Report included enhanced segment disclosureto comply with the updated requirements. Refer to “Note 12: Reportable Segments” for additional information. 

 

Recent AccountingStandards Yet to Be Adopted

 

InDecember 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments inASU 2023-09 address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosuresprimarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periodsbeginning after December 15, 2024. As of June 28, 2025, the Company is evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidatedfinancial statements.

 

7

 

 

InNovember 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE). The new standard requires disclosureof specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures aboutselling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periodsbeginning after December 15, 2027. As of June 28, 2025, the Company is evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidatedfinancial statements.

 

3. Revenue fromContracts with Customers

 

Disaggregationof Revenue

 

Thefollowing table disaggregates total revenue by end market which is how we view our reportable segments (see Note 12):

 

   Three Months Ended 
   June 28,
2025
   June 29,
2024
 
Aerospace/Defense  $164.6   $149.1 
Industrial   271.4    257.2 
Total  $436.0   $406.3 

 

Thefollowing table disaggregates total revenue by geographic origin:

 

   Three Months Ended 
   June 28,
2025
   June 29,
2024
 
United States  $388.5   $360.1 
International   47.5    46.2 
Total  $436.0   $406.3 

 

 

Thefollowing table illustrates the approximate percentage of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied over time versus theamount of revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time:

 

   Three Months Ended 
   June 28,
2025
   June 29,
2024
 
Point-in-time   98%   97%
Over time   2%   3%
Total   100%   100%

 

Remaining PerformanceObligations

 

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price oforders meeting the definition of a contract in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts withCustomers, for which work has not been performed or has been partially performed and excludes unexercised contract options. The durationof the majority of our contracts, as defined by ASC Topic 606, is less than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient,which allows the Company to exclude remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less. The aggregateamount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one yearwas approximately $613.5 at June 28, 2025. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 58% and 87% of the remaining performanceobligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter.

Contract Balances

 

Thetiming of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) andcustomer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are reported onthe consolidated balance sheets on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

 

ContractAssets (Unbilled Receivables) - Pursuant to the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customerbeing invoiced. An unbilled receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when (1) the cost-to-cost method is appliedand (2) such revenue exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer.

 

Asof June 28, 2025 and March 29, 2025, current contract assets were $5.1 and $6.6, respectively, and included within prepaid expensesand other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in contract assets was primarily due to amounts billed tocustomers during the period partially offset by the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction or partial satisfaction ofperformance obligations prior to billing. As of June 28, 2025 and March 29,2025, the Company did not have any contract assets classified as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

ContractLiabilities (Deferred Revenue) - The Company may receive a customer advance or deposit, or have an unconditional right to receivea customer advance, prior to revenue being recognized. Since the performance obligations related to such advances may not have been satisfied,a contract liability is established. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as the timing of the transferof the related goods or services is at the discretion of the customer.

 

Asof June 28, 2025 and March 29, 2025, current contract liabilities were $36.5 and $32.7, respectively, and included within accrued expensesand other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in current contract liabilities was primarily due to advancepayments received and the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received from the noncurrent portion of contract liabilitiespartially offset by revenue recognized on customer contracts. For the three months ended June 28, 2025, the Company recognized revenuesof $6.9 that were included in the contract liability balance as of March 29, 2025. For the three months ended June 29, 2024, the Companyrecognized revenues of $5.7 that were included in the contract liability balance at March 30, 2024.

 

As of June 28, 2025 and March 29, 2025, noncurrent contract liabilitieswere $7.0 and $12.1, respectively, and included within other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The decrease innoncurrent contract liabilities was primarily due to the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received to the current portionof contract liabilities, partially offset by advance payments received.

 

Variable Consideration

 

Theamount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services is not generally subject tosignificant variations. However, the Company does offer certain customers rebates, prompt payment discounts, end-user discounts, theright to return eligible products, and/or other forms of variable consideration. The Company estimates this variable considerationusing the expected value amount, which is based on historical experience. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction priceto the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associatedwith the variable consideration is resolved. The Company adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of considerationthe Company expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Accrued customer rebates were $40.8 and $40.0 at June28, 2025 and March 29, 2025, respectively, and are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidatedbalance sheets.

5. Net incomePer-share Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

Basicnet income per-share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by theweighted average number of common shares outstanding.

 

Diluted net income per shareattributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weightedaverage number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common shareequivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, the vesting of restricted shares, andcontingently issuable shares related to performance-based awards.

 

We exclude outstanding stockoptions, stock awards and contingently issuable shares related to performance-based awards from the calculations if the effect would beanti-dilutive.

 

Prior to October 2024, there were 4,600,000 shares of our 5.00% SeriesA Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “MCPS”) issued and outstanding. Forthe three-month period ended June 29, 2024, the effect of assuming the conversion of the 4,600,000 shares of MCPS into shares of commonstock was anti-dilutive, and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per-share attributable to common stockholders.Accordingly, net income was reduced by cumulative MCPS dividends, as presented in our consolidated statement of operations, for purposesof calculating the numerator in the diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders.

Forthe three months ended June 28, 2025, 63,098 employee stock options and 7,324 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation ofdiluted earnings per-share attributable to common stockholders. For the three months ended June 29, 2024, 87,500 employee stock optionsand 7,818 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per-share attributable to common stockholders. Theinclusion of these employee stock options and restricted shares would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Thetable below reflects the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for each period presented as well as the computation of basicand diluted net income per-share attributable to common stockholders.

6. Fair Value

 

Fairvalue is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transactionbetween market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used tomeasure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

 Level 1 – Unadjusted quotedprices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 Level 2 – Unadjusted quotedprices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilitiesin markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

 

 Level 3 – Unobservable inputsfor the asset or liability.

 

Financialassets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Asa result of the occurrence of triggering events such as purchase accounting for acquisitions, the Company measures certain assets andliabilities based on Level 3 inputs.

Financial Instruments

 

TheCompany’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, short-termborrowings, long-term debt, and derivatives in the form of an interest rate swap and a cross currency swap.

 

Dueto their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-termborrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Long-term assets held on our balance sheets related to benefit plan obligationsare measured at fair value.

 

Thefair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $485.0 and $470.5 at June 28, 2025 andMarch 29, 2025, respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $495.4 at June 28, 2025 and $495.1 at March 29, 2025. The fair valueof long-term fixed-rate debt was measured using Level 1 inputs. Due to the nature of fair value calculations for variable-rate debt,the carrying value of the Company’s long-term variable-rate debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.

 

The fair value of the Interest Rate Swap (as defined in Note 13) wasa liability of $0.2 and $0.3 at June 28, 2025 and March 29, 2025, respectively, and was measured using Level 2 inputs. The fair valueof the Interest Rate Swap was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.The Interest Rate Swap, net of taxes, had accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.1 and $0.2 as of June 28, 2025 and March 29, 2025,respectively, and was included in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, andin the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).

 

The fair value of the Cross Currency Swap (as defined in Note 13) wasa liability of $8.2 and $0.2 at June 28, 2025 and March 29, 2025, and was measured using Level 2 inputs. This amount is included in othernoncurrent liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Cross Currency Swap, net of taxes, had accumulated othercomprehensive loss of $6.4 and $0.2 as of June 28, 2025 and March 29, 2025, and was included in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss)on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).The decrease in the fair value of the Cross Currency Swap is primarily due to the weakening of the USD compared to the CHF during thethree month period ended June 28, 2025.

 

TheCompany does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments.

10. Debt

 

Domestic CreditFacility

 

Infiscal 2022, RBC Bearings Incorporated, our top holding company, and our Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. subsidiary (“RBCA”)entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”),as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer, and the other lenders party thereto. The CreditAgreement provides the Company with (a) a $1,300.0 term loan (the “Term Loan”), which was used to fund a portion of the cashpurchase price for the acquisition of Dodge Industrial, Inc. (“Dodge”) and to pay related fees and expenses, and (b) a $500.0revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan, the “Facilities”).Debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Agreement totaled $14.9 and are being amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement.

 

Amountsoutstanding under the Facilities generally bear interest at either, at the Company’s option, (a) a base rate determined by referenceto the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime lending rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) Term SOFR (asdefined in the Credit Agreement based on SOFR, the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York)plus 1.00% or (b) Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% depending on the Company’sconsolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from time to time. The Facilities aresubject to a SOFR floor of 0.00%. As of June 28, 2025, the Company’s margin was 1.00% for SOFR loans, the commitment fee rate was0.175%, and the letter of credit fee rate was 1.00%. A portion of the Term Loan is subject to a fixed-rate interest swap as discussedin Note 13.

 

TheTerm Loan matures in November 2026 and amortizes in quarterly installments with the balance payable on the maturity date. The Companycan elect to prepay some or all of the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty, which will offset future quarterly amortizationinstallments. Due to prepayments previously made, the required future principal payments on the Term Loan are $0 for fiscal 2026 and$413.0 for fiscal 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility expires in November 2026, at which time all amounts outstanding under the RevolvingCredit Facility will be payable.

 

TheCredit Agreement requires the Company to comply with various covenants, including the following financial covenants: (a) a maximum TotalNet Leverage Ratio (as defined within the Credit Agreement) of 5.00:1.00, which maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio shall decrease duringcertain subsequent test periods as set forth in the Credit Agreement (provided that, no more than once during the term of the Facilities,such maximum ratio applicable at such time may be increased by the Company by 0.50:1.00 for a period of twelve (12) months after theconsummation of a material acquisition); and (b) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.00:1.00. As of June 28, 2025 the Company wasin compliance with all debt covenants.

 

14

 

 

TheCredit Agreement allows the Company to, among other things, make distributions to stockholders, repurchase its stock, incur other debtor liens, or acquire or dispose of assets provided that the Company complies with certain requirements and limitations of the CreditAgreement.

 

TheCompany’s domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the Company’sobligations and the domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company andits domestic subsidiaries.

 

As of June 28, 2025, $413.0 was outstanding under the Term Loan, and$3.7 of the Revolving Credit Facility was being utilized to provide letters of credit to secure the Company’s obligations relatingto certain insurance programs. The Company had the ability to borrow an additional $496.3 under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June28, 2025.

 

Senior Notes

 

In fiscal 2022, RBCA issued $500.0 aggregate principal amount of 4.375%Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were approximately $492.0,after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses, and were used to fund a portion of the cashpurchase price for the acquisition of Dodge.

 

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture with WilmingtonTrust, National Association, as trustee. This indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company to (i) incur additionalindebtedness or guarantee indebtedness, (ii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders, (iii)make investments, (iv) create liens or use assets as security in other transactions, (v) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, leaseor dispose of substantially all of its assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (vii) sell or transfer certain assets.These covenants contain various exceptions, limitations and qualifications. At any time that the Senior Notes are rated investment grade,certain of these covenants will be suspended.

 

TheSenior Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RBC Bearings and certain of RBCA’s existing andfuture wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that also guarantee the Credit Agreement.

 

Intereston the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.375% and is payable semi–annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of eachyear.

 

The Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2029. The Company may redeemsome or all of the Senior Notes at any time at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, ifany, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company sells certain of its assets or experiences specific kinds of changes in control,the Company must offer to repurchase the Senior Notes.

 

Foreign BorrowingArrangements

 

One of our foreign subsidiaries, Schaublin SA, has a CHF 5.0 (approximately$6.1 USD) credit line (the “Foreign Credit Line”) with Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. to provide future working capital,if necessary. As of June 28, 2025, $0.1 was being utilized to provide a bank guarantee. Fees associated with the Foreign Credit Line arenominal.

 

In July 2024, Swiss Tool Systems, one of our foreign subsidiaries,purchased the building where it operates for CHF 7.1 (approximately $8.4 USD) and took out a 10-year, 2.9% fixed-rate mortgage on thebuilding for CHF 4.0 (approximately $4.5 USD).

11. Income Taxes

 

TheCompany files income tax returns in numerous U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, with returns subject to examination for varying periods,but generally back to and including the year ending April 2, 2022, although certain tax credits generated in earlier years are open understatute from March 29, 2008. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for yearsending before April 2, 2022.

 

Theeffective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, were 21.9% and 23.1%, respectively. Inaddition to discrete items, the effective income tax rates for both these periods were different from the U.S. statutory rates due tothe foreign-derived intangible income provision and U.S. credit for increasing research activities, which decreased the rate, and stateincome taxes, foreign income taxes, and nondeductible compensation, which increased the rate.

 

Theeffective income tax rate for the three-month period ended June 28, 2025 of 21.9% included $2.3 of discrete tax benefits associated withstock-based compensation partially offset by $1.3 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-monthperiod ended June 28, 2025 would have been 23.1%. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended June 29, 2024 of 23.1%included $0.6 of discrete tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation. The effective income tax rate without discrete itemsfor the three-month period ended June 29, 2024 would have been 23.8%. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that some of itsunrecognized tax positions may be effectively settled within the next 12 months due to the closing of audits and the statute of limitationsexpiring in various jurisdictions. The decrease in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions, pertaining primarily to federal andstate credits and state tax, is estimated to be approximately $1.5.

 

Global MinimumTax

 

In October 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development(“OECD”) announced an Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting including Pillar Two Model Rules defining theglobal minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large multinational corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. Subsequently multiple setsof administrative guidance have been issued. Many non-US tax jurisdictions have either recently enacted legislation to adopt certain componentsof the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 with the adoption of additional components in later years or announced their plans toenact legislation in future years. The Company has performed an assessment of the potential impact to its income taxes as a result ofPillar Two and believes that it can avail itself of the transitional safe harbor rules in all jurisdictions in which the Company operates.We will continue to monitor both the U.S. and international legislative developments related to Pillar Two to assess for any potentialimpacts. We are continuing to evaluate the impacts of enacted legislation and pending legislation to enact Pillar Two Model Rules in thenon-US tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

 

One Big BeautifulBill Act

 

On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Public Law No: 119-21,The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, into law. The Company is currently reviewing the components of this act and evaluating its impact, whichcould be material, on the Company’s fiscal year 2026 consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

12. ReportableSegments

 

TheCompany operates through two operating segments and reports its financial results based on how its chief operating decision maker makesoperating decisions, assesses the performance of the business, and allocates resources. Our operating segments are our reportable segments.These reportable segments are Aerospace/Defense and Industrial and are described below.

 

Aerospace/Defense.This segment represents the end markets for the Company’s highly engineered bearings and precision components used in commercialaerospace, defense aerospace, defense marine, defense ground vehicles, missiles and guided munitions, and space and satellite applications.We supply precision products for many of the commercial aircraft currently operating worldwide and are the primary bearing supplier formany of the aircraft OEMs’ product lines. Commercial and defense aerospace customers generally require precision products, oftenconstructed of special materials and made to unique designs and specifications. Many of our aerospace bearings and engineered componentproducts are designed and certified during the original development of the aircraft being served, which often makes us the primary bearingsupplier for the life of that aircraft.

 

Industrial.This segment represents the end markets for the Company’s highly engineered bearings and precision components used in variousindustrial applications including: construction, mining, forestry, energy, agricultural and other machinery; aggregate and cementhandling; food and beverage manufacturing; grain, and agricultural product handling; metals and mining material handling; chemicals,oil and gas production; warehousing and logistics; manufacturing automation and semiconductor equipment; power generation; waste andwater management; rail and transportation. Our products target market applications in which our engineering and manufacturingcapabilities provide us with a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

 

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”)is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses segment gross margin as the primary measurement of profitability. On a monthlybasis, the CODM considers budget-to-actual variances and historical trends for gross margin when making decisions about allocating capitalto segments.

 

Theaccounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2. Segment performance is evaluated based on segmentnet sales and gross margin. Where not separately disclosed, corporate costs are allocated to each segment. Identifiable assets by reportablesegment consist of those directly identified with the segment’s operations.

13. DerivativeFinancial Instruments

 

TheCompany is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in interestrates and foreign exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as either assetsor liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulatedother comprehensive income/(loss), depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedged transaction. Gains and losses onderivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) are subsequently included in earnings in the periodsin which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

 

Infiscal 2023, the Company entered into a three-year U.S. dollar-denominated interest rate swap ( the “Interest Rate Swap”) with a third-party financial counterparty under the Credit Agreement (see Note 10). The Interest Rate Swap was executed to protectthe Company from interest rate volatility on our variable-rate Term Loan. The Interest Rate Swap became effective December 30, 2022and is comprised of a $600.0 notional with a maturity of three years. The notional is $100.0 as of June 28, 2025. We receive avariable rate based on one-month Term SOFR and pay a fixed rate of 4.455%. As of June 28, 2025, after giving effect to the InterestRate Swap, approximately 66% of our debt bears interest at a fixed rate. The notional on the Swap amortizes as follows:

 

Year1: $600.0

Year2: $400.0

Year 3: $100.0

 

The Interest Rate Swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge ofthe variability of the first unhedged interest payments (the hedged transactions) paid over the hedging relationship’s specifiedtime period of three years attributable to the borrowing’s contractually specified interest index on the hedged principal of itsgeneral borrowing program or replacement or refinancing thereof. The fair value of the Swap has been disclosed in Note 6. The accumulatedother comprehensive income derivative component balance, net of taxes, was a $0.1 loss and a $0.2 loss at June 28, 2025 and March 29,2025, respectively. The gain/loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) into earnings will be recorded as interestincome/expense on the Interest Rate Swap and will be included in the operating section of the Company’s consolidated statementsof cash flows.

 

OnAugust 12, 2024, the Company entered into a three-year cross currency swap (the “Cross Currency Swap”) with a third-partyfinancial counterparty. The objective of the Cross Currency Swap is to economically hedge the Company’s net investment in its lower-tierEuropean subsidiary, Schaublin, against adverse changes in the Swiss franc/U.S. dollar exchange rate. The Cross Currency Swap is basedupon a net investment of CHF 69.4 ($80.0 USD) notional amount with a three-year maturity date. RBC receives a fixed U.S. dollar amounton a month-to-month basis based upon a fixed annual rate of 2.77% of the notional amount. At maturity, RBC will net-settle the principalof the Cross Currency Swap in cash with the counterparty. The fair value of the Cross Currency Swap has been disclosed in Note 6. Theaccumulated other comprehensive income derivative component balance, net of taxes, was a $6.4 loss and $0.2 loss at June 28, 2025 andMarch 29, 2025, respectfully. The decrease in the fair value of the Cross Currency Swap is primarilydue to the weakening of the USD compared to the CHF during the three month period ended June 28, 2025.

On July 18, 2025, we completed the previously-announced acquisitionof VACCO Industries from ESCO Technologies Inc. for $275.0 in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company drew down$200.0 on the Revolving Credit Facility and used the money, in combination with cash on hand, to pay the purchase price to acquire VACCO Industries. Followingthe borrowing, there was $296.3 of undrawn capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

VACCO,located in South El Monte, California, manufactures valves, manifolds, regulators, filters, and other precision components and subsystemsfor space and naval defense applications.

Overview

 

We are a leading international manufacturer of highly engineered precisionbearings, components and essential systems for the aerospace, defense and industrial industries. Our precision solutions are integralto the manufacture and operation of most machines and mechanical systems, reduce wear to moving parts, facilitate proper power transmission,and reduce damage and energy loss caused by friction. While we manufacture products in all major bearing categories, we focus primarilyon the higher end of the bearing market where we believe our value-added manufacturing and engineering capabilities enable us to differentiateourselves from our competitors and enhance profitability. We believe our unique expertise has enabled us to garner leading positions inmany of the product markets in which we primarily compete. With 60 facilities in 11 countries, of which 42 are manufacturing facilities,we have been able to significantly broaden our end markets, products, customer base and geographic reach. We have a fiscal year consistingof 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Saturday closest to March 31. Based on this policy, fiscal 2026 will have 52 weeks and fiscal 2025had 52 weeks. Both the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and the first quarter of fiscal 2025 had 13 weeks.

 

We currently operate under two reportable businesssegments – Aerospace/Defense and Industrial:

 

Aerospace/Defense. This segment represents theend markets for the Company’s highly engineered bearings and precision components used in commercial aerospace, defense aerospace,defense marine, defense ground vehicles, missiles and guided munitions, and space and satellite applications.

 

Industrial. This segment represents the end markets for the Company’s highly engineeredbearings, gearing and precision components used in various industrial applications including: construction, mining, forestry, energy,agricultural and other machinery; aggregate and cement handling; food and beverage manufacturing; grain, and agricultural product handling;metals and mining material handling; chemicals, oil and gas production; warehousing and logistics; manufacturing automation and semiconductorequipment; power generation; waste and water management; rail and transportation.

 

We use gross margin as theprimary measurement to assess the financial performance of each reportable segment. End market and channel sales within our segments arebased on internal definitions and metrics considered by management and are periodically reviewed and updated prospectively.

 

The markets for our productsare cyclical, and we have endeavored to mitigate this cyclicality by entering into single and sole-source relationships and long-termpurchase agreements, through diversification across multiple market segments within the Aerospace/Defense and Industrial segments, byincreasing sales to the aftermarket, and by focusing on developing highly customized solutions.

 

21

 

 

Currently, our strategy isbuilt around maintaining our role as a leading manufacturer of highly engineered bearings and precision components through the followingefforts:

 

Developing innovative solutions. By leveraging our design and manufacturing expertise andour extensive customer relationships, we continue to develop new products for markets in which there are substantial growth opportunities.

 

Expanding customer base and penetrating end markets. We continually seek opportunities toaccess new customers, geographic locations and bearing platforms with existing products or profitable new product opportunities.

 

Increasing aftermarket sales. We believe that increasing our aftermarket sales of replacementparts will further enhance the continuity and predictability of our revenues and enhance our profitability. Such sales include sales tothird party distributors, and sales to OEMs for replacement products and aftermarket services. We can further increase the percentageof our revenues derived from the replacement market by continuing to implement several initiatives.

 

Pursuing selective acquisitions. The acquisition of businesses that complement or expandour operations has been and continues to be an important element of our business strategy. We believe that there will continue to be consolidationwithin the industry that may present us with acquisition opportunities.

 

We have demonstrated expertise in acquiring and integrating bearingand precision engineered component manufacturers that have complementary products or distribution channels and have provided significantmargin enhancement. We have consistently increased the profitability of acquired businesses through a process of methods and systems improvementcoupled with the introduction of complementary and proprietary new products. Since 1992 we have completed 30 acquisitions, including VACCO,which we acquired on July 18, 2025. These acquisitions have broadened our end markets, products, customer base and geographic reach.

 

Outlook

 

Our net sales for the three-monthperiod ended June 28, 2025 increased 7.3% compared to the same period last fiscal year. The increase in net sales was a result of a 10.4%increase in our Aerospace/Defense segment and a 5.5% increase in our Industrial segment. Our backlog, as of June 28, 2025 was $1,017.3compared to $940.7 as of March 29, 2025.

 

We are continuing to see the expansion of the commercial aerospacebusiness, which experienced a 9.6% increase in net sales for the three-month period ended June 28, 2025 versus the same period last fiscalyear. We anticipate this growth to continue through the rest of the current fiscal year and beyond. Orders have continued to grow as evidencedby the increase in our backlog. Defense sales, which represented approximately 35.2% of segment sales during the quarter, were up 11.9%quarter over quarter. We expect this growth to continue throughout the current fiscal year and beyond as we are gearing up to fulfillthe substantial number of defense orders in our backlog. Our industrial business continued to demonstrate strength in distribution acrossseveral major end markets, notably including mining and metals, warehousing, and aggregates.

 

The Company expects net salesto be approximately $445.0 to $455.0 in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of 11.8% to 14.4% compared to the second quarterof fiscal 2025.

 

We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under theRevolving Credit Facility will provide adequate resources to fund internal growth initiatives for the foreseeable future, including atleast the next 12 months. As of June 28, 2025, we had cash of $132.9, of which approximately $28.0 was cash held by our foreign operations,although in July 2025 we used $75.0 of our domestic cash to fund a portion of the purchase price for VACCO.

Segment Information

 

We report our financialresults under two operating segments: Aerospace/Defense and Industrial. The CODM uses gross margin as the primary measurement toassess the financial performance of each reportable segment. End market and channel sales within our segments are based on internaldefinitions and metrics considered by management and are periodically reviewed and updated prospectively. For the first quarter of fiscalyear 2025, we estimate approximately $2.0 of sales classified as Industrial would now be classified as Aerospace/Defense. The first quarterof fiscal year 2025 was not recast to reflect this change.

Net sales increased $15.5, or 10.4%, for the three months ended June28, 2025 compared to the same period last fiscal year. Our commercial aerospace markets, which consisted of $83.6 of OEM sales and $23.0of distribution and aftermarket sales, increased by 9.6% compared to fiscal 2025 when OEM net sales were $78.5 and distribution and aftermarketnet sales were $18.8. The OEM markets have continued to improve as build rates have steadily increased over the last several months. Wehave also been expanding our footprint in the aftermarket as air travel has continued to increase year over year. Our defense markets,which consisted of $40.6 of OEM and $17.4 of distribution and aftermarket, increased by 11.9% compared to fiscal 2025 when OEM net saleswere $40.2 and distribution and aftermarket net sales were $11.6. The increase in defense sales was driven by marine and missiles andreflects continued growth in demand which is evident by our growing backlog.

 

Gross margin as a percentageof segment net sales was 42.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 42.3% for the same period last fiscal year. The increasein gross margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by efficiencies achieved at the plants in part due to increased salesvolumes and favorable product mix. This margin profile is expected to continue as the commercial aerospace industry continues to expandand we continue to enhance our manufacturing processes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our capital requirements include manufacturing equipment and materials.We have historically fueled our growth, in part, through acquisitions. We have historically met our working capital, capital expenditureand acquisition funding needs through our net cash flows provided by operations, various debt arrangements and public sales of equity.We believe that operating cash flows and available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility (which expires in November 2026) will provideadequate resources to fund internal growth initiatives for at least the next 12 months.

 

Our ability to meet future working capital, capital expenditure anddebt service requirements will depend on our future financial performance, which could be affected by a range of economic, competitiveand business factors, many of which are outside of our control. These include interest rates, cyclical changes in our end markets, theimposition of trade tariffs, increased prices for steel and other supplies, and our ability to pass through tariffs and price increaseson a timely basis. In addition, future acquisitions could have a significant impact on our liquidity position and our need for additionalfunds.

 

26

 

 

From time to time, we evaluateour existing facilities and operations and their strategic importance to us. If we determine that a given facility or operation does nothave future strategic importance, we may sell, relocate, consolidate or otherwise dispose of that facility or operations. Although webelieve our operations would not be materially impaired by such dispositions, relocations or consolidations, we could incur significantcash or non-cash charges in connection with them.

 

Liquidity

 

As of June 28, 2025, we had cash of $132.9, of which approximately$28.0 was cash held by our foreign operations, although in July we used $75.0 of our domestic cash to fund a portion of the purchase priceof VACCO. We expect that our undistributed foreign earnings will be re-invested indefinitely for working capital, internal growth, andacquisitions for and by our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our Canadian operations as there are no current plans to expand the sales operations within that jurisdiction. As discussed in further detail below, we also have the ability to borrow money fromour existing credit facilities.

 

Domestic Credit Facility

 

The Credit Agreement, whichwas entered into in fiscal 2022, provides the Company with (a) the $1,300.0 Term Loan, which was used to fund a portion of the purchaseprice for the acquisition of Dodge and to pay related fees and expenses, and (b) the $500.0 Revolving Credit Facility. Debt issuancecosts associated with the Credit Agreement totaled $14.9 and are being amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement.

 

Amounts outstanding under the Facilities generally bear interest ateither, at the Company’s option, (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime lendingrate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.00% or (b) Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustmentof 0.10% plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s consolidated ratio of total net debt to consolidatedEBITDA. The Facilities are subject to a SOFR floor of 0.00%. As of June 28, 2025, the Company’s margin was 1.00% for SOFR loans,the commitment fee rate was 0.175%, and the letter of credit fee rate was 1.00%. A portion of the Term Loan is subject to a fixed-rateinterest swap.

 

The Term Loan matures in November2026 and amortizes in quarterly installments with the balance payable on the maturity date. The Company can elect to prepay some or allof the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty, which will offset future quarterly amortization installments. Due to prepaymentspreviously made, the required future principal payments on the Term Loan are $0 for fiscal 2026, and $413.0 for fiscal 2027.The Revolving Credit Facility expires in November 2026, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility willbe payable.

 

The Credit Agreement requiresthe Company to comply with various covenants, including the following financial covenants: (a) a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (asdefined within the Credit Agreement) of 5.00:1.00, which maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio shall decrease during certain subsequent testperiods as set forth in the Credit Agreement (provided that, no more than once during the term of the Facilities, such maximum ratio applicableat such time may be increased by the Company by 0.50:1.00 for a period of twelve (12) months after the consummation of a material acquisition);and (b) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.00:1.00. As of June 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

 

The Credit Agreement allowsthe Company to, among other things, make distributions to stockholders, repurchase its stock, incur other debt or liens, or acquire ordispose of assets provided that the Company complies with certain requirements and limitations of the Credit Agreement.

 

The Company’s domesticsubsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, and the Company’s obligations and the domesticsubsidiaries’ guaranty are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

 

As of June 28, 2025, $413.0 was outstanding under the Term Loanand $3.7 of the Revolving Credit Facility was being utilized to provide letters of credit to secure the Company’s obligationsrelating to certain insurance programs. The Company had the ability to borrow an additional $496.3 under the Revolving Credit Facilityas of June 28, 2025. Following the $200.0 draw on the Revolving Credit Facility on July 18, 2025 to fund a portion of the purchase pricefor VACCO, there was $296.3 of undrawn capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

 

In fiscal 2022, RBCA issued $500.0 aggregate principal amount of theSenior Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were approximately $492.0, after deducting initial purchasers’discounts and commissions and offering expenses, and were used to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge.

 

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture with WilmingtonTrust, National Association, as trustee. This indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company to (i) incur additionalindebtedness or guarantee indebtedness, (ii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders, (iii)make investments, (iv) create liens or use assets as security in other transactions, (v) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, leaseor dispose of substantially all of its assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (vii) sell or transfer certain assets.These covenants contain various exceptions, limitations and qualifications. At any time that the Senior Notes are rated investment grade,certain of these covenants will be suspended.

 

The Senior Notes are guaranteedjointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RBC Bearings and certain of RBCA’s existing and future wholly-owned domesticsubsidiaries that also guarantee the Credit Agreement.

 

Interest on the Senior Notesaccrues at a rate of 4.375% and is payable semi–annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.

 

The Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2029. The Company may redeemsome or all of the Senior Notes at any time at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, ifany, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company sells certain of its assets or experiences specific kinds of changes in control,the Company must offer to repurchase the Senior Notes.

 

Foreign Borrowing Arrangements

 

The Foreign Credit Line provides Schaublin SA with a CHF 5.0 (approximately$6.1 USD) credit line to provide future working capital, if necessary. As of June 28, 2025, $0.1 was being utilized to provide abank guarantee. Fees associated with the Foreign Credit Line are nominal.

 

In July 2024, Swiss Tool Systems, one of our foreign subsidiaries,purchased the building where it operates for CHF 7.1 (approximately $8.4 USD) and took out a 10-year, 2.9% fixed-rate mortgage on thebuilding for CHF 4.0 (approximately $4.5 USD).

 

Interest Rate Swap

 

The Company is exposed tomarket risks relating to fluctuations in interest rates.

 

To hedge against this risk,in fiscal 2023, the Company entered into the Interest Rate Swap with a third-party financial counterparty under the Credit Agreement.The Interest Rate Swap was executed to protect the Company from interest rate volatility on our variable-rate Term Loan. The InterestRate Swap became effective December 30, 2022 and is comprised of a $600.0 notional with a maturity of three years. The notional was $100.0as of June 28, 2025. We receive a variable rate based on one-month Term SOFR and pay a fixed rate of 4.455%. The notional on the InterestRate Swap amortizes as follows:

 

Year 1: $600.0

Year 2: $400.0

Year 3: $100.0

 

28

 

 

The Interest Rate Swap hasbeen designated as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the first unhedged interest payments (the hedged transactions) paid over thehedging relationship’s specified time period of three years attributable to the borrowing’s contractually specified interestindex on the hedged principal of its general borrowing program or replacement or refinancing thereof.

 

Cross Currency Swap

 

The Company is exposed toforeign exchange rate fluctuations as some of our subsidiaries operate in various countries.

 

On August 12, 2024, the Companyentered into the Cross Currency Swap with a third-party financial counterparty. The objective of the Cross Currency Swap is to economicallyhedge the Company’s net investment in its lower-tier European subsidiary, Schaublin, against adverse changes in the Swiss franc/U.S.dollar exchange rate. The Cross Currency Swap is based upon a net investment of CHF 69.4 ($80.0 USD) notional amount with a three-yearmaturity date. RBC receives a fixed U.S. dollar amount on a month-to-month basis based upon a fixed annual rate of 2.77% of the notionalamount. At maturity, RBC will net-settle the principal of the Cross Currency Swap in cash with the counterparty. The Cross Currency Swaphas been designated as a net investment hedge on an after-tax basis.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Prior to October 15, 2024, the Company had outstanding 4,600,000 sharesof MCPS to which we paid a quarterly dividend aggregating $5.75, but on that date each then-outstanding share of the MCPS converted into0.4413 shares of common stock, resulting in the retirement of the MCPS and the issuance of 2,029,955 shares of common stock. Because theMCPS is no longer outstanding, the Company will not pay MCPS dividends in the future, resulting in a cash savings of $23.0 per year.

 

Cash Flows

 

Three-month Period Ended June 28, 2025 Comparedto the Three-month Period Ended June 29, 2024

 

The following table summarizes our cashflow activities:

Net cash provided by/(used in):

Investing activities     (15.7 )     (9.0 )     (6.7 )

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash     (0.3 )     (0.4 )     0.1  
Increase/(decrease) in cash   $ 96.1     $ 13.3     $ 82.8  

 

During the first three months of fiscal 2026, we generated cash of$120.0 from operating activities compared to $97.4 during the same period of fiscal 2025. The increase of $22.6 was the result of an increasein net income of $7.1, a favorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $12.9 and a favorable impact of non-cash activity of$2.6. The favorable change in operating assets and liabilities is detailed in the table below. The change in non-cash activity was drivenby $0.1 more stock-based compensation, $0.2 more amortization of deferred financing costs and $3.8 more restructuring costs, offset by$0.4 less in depreciation and amortization, $0.5 less deferred taxes and a $0.6 gain on asset dispositions.

During the first three monthsof fiscal 2026, we used $15.7 for investing activities as compared to $9.0 used in the first three months of fiscal 2025. This increasein cash used was attributable to a $6.7 increase in capital expenditures.

 

During the first three months of fiscal 2026, we used cash of $7.9for financing activities compared to $74.7 in the first three months of fiscal 2025. This decrease in cash used was primarily attributableto $60.0 less payments made on the Term Loan, $5.7 less in preferred stock dividends paid and $10.3 more in exercises of stock-based awardspartially offset by $5.0 more repayments of revolving credit facilities, $4.1 more repurchases of common stock and $0.1 more payments on finance lease obligations.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

Our capital expenditures were$15.7 for the three-month period ended June 28, 2025 compared to $9.0 for the three-month period ended June 29, 2024. We expect capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 will be between 3.0% to 3.5% of ournet sales for the fiscal year. We expectto fund these capital expenditures principally through existing cash and internally generated funds. We may also make substantial additionalcapital expenditures in connection with acquisitions.

 

Obligations and Commitments

 

The Company’s fixed contractual obligations and commitments areprimarily comprised of the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes. We also have lease obligations which are materially consistent withwhat we disclosed in our Annual Report.

 

Other Matters

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to makeestimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe the most complexand sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to makeestimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditionand Results of Operations and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report describe the significant accountingestimates and policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’sestimates. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has $3.7 of outstandingstandby letters of credit, all of which are under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and QualitativeDisclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to market risksthat arise during the normal course of business from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Interest Rates. Wecurrently have variable rate debt outstanding under the Term Loan. We regularly evaluate the impact of interest rate changes on our netincome and cash flow and take action to limit our exposure when appropriate. As discussed in Note 13 in Part I, Item I of this report,we have utilized an interest rate swap to fix a portion of the variable rate interest expense associated with the Term Loan. As of June28, 2025, approximately 66% of our debt bears interest at a fixed rate, after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreement in place.

 

Foreign Currency ExchangeRates. Our operations in the following countries utilize the following currencies as their functional currency:

 

  Australia – Australian dollar India – rupee
  Canada – Canadian dollar Mexico – peso
  China – Chinese yuan Poland – zloty
  France and Germany – euro Switzerland – Swiss franc
  England – British pound  

 

Asa result, we are exposed to risk associated with fluctuating currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and these currencies. Foreigncurrency transaction gains and losses are included in earnings. Approximately 11% of our net sales were impacted by foreign currencyfluctuations for both the three-month period ended June 28, 2025 and the three-month period ended June 29, 2024. For those countriesoutside the U.S. where we have sales, a strengthening in the U.S. dollar or devaluation in the local currency would reduce the valueof our local inventory as presented in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, a stronger U.S. dollar or a weaker local currencywould result in reduced net sales, operating profit and shareholders’ equity due to the impact of foreign exchange translation on ourconsolidated financial statements. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may make our products more expensive for others topurchase or increase our operating costs, affecting our competitiveness and our profitability.

 

Changes in exchange ratesbetween the U.S. dollar and other currencies and volatile economic, political and market conditions in emerging market countries havein the past adversely affected our financial performance and may in the future adversely affect the value of our assets located outsidethe United States, our gross profit and our results of operations.

 

We periodically enter intoderivative financial instruments in the form of forward exchange contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates on certainthird-party sales transactions denominated in non-functional currencies. As of June 28, 2025, the Company had a cross currency swap, whichis discussed in further detail within Notes 6 and 13 in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participationof our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 28,2025. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 28, 2025, ourdisclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that information relating to our Company required to be disclosed by usin the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to our Chief Executive Officerand Chief Financial Officer within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and (2) effective, in that they providereasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposesin accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Changes in Internal Controlover Financial Reporting

 

No change in our internalcontrol over financial reporting occurred during the three-month period ended June 28, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonablylikely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the ExchangeAct).
