CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
CSS Industries, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “CSS” or the “Company”) has prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements 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. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to a particular fiscal year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, “fiscal 2020” refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Business
CSS is a creative consumer products company, focused on the craft, gift and seasonal categories. For these design-driven categories, the Company engages in the creative development, manufacture, procurement, distribution and sale of our products with an omni-channel approach focused primarily on mass market retailers.
Craft The craft category includes sewing patterns, ribbons and trims, buttons, knitting needles, needle arts and kids crafts. These products are sold to mass market, specialty, and online retailers, and are generally ordered on a replenishment basis throughout the year.
Gift The gift category includes products designed to celebrate certain life events or special occasions, such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or the birth of a child. Products include ribbons and bows, floral accessories, infant products, journals, gift card holders, all occasion boxed greeting cards, memory books, scrapbooks, stationery, and other items that commemorate life's celebrations. Products in this category are primarily sold into mass, specialty, and online retailers, floral and packaging wholesalers and distributors, and are generally ordered on a replenishment basis throughout the year.
Seasonal The seasonal category includes holiday gift packaging items such as ribbon, bows, greeting cards, bags, tags and gift card holders, in addition to specific holiday-themed decorations, accessories, and activities, such as Easter egg dyes and novelties and Valentine's Day classroom exchange cards. These products are sold to mass market retailers, and production forecasts for these products are generally known well in advance of shipment.
CSS’ product breadth provides its retail customers the opportunity to use a single vendor for much of their craft, gift and seasonal product requirements. A substantial portion of CSS’ products are manufactured and packaged in the United States and warehoused and distributed from facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with the remainder sourced from foreign suppliers, primarily in Asia. The Company also has a manufacturing facility in India that produces certain craft products, including trims, braids and tassels, and also has a distribution facility in India. The Company’s products are sold to its customers by national and regional account sales managers, sales representatives, product specialists and by a network of independent manufacturers’ representatives. CSS maintains purchasing offices in Hong Kong and China to administer Asian sourcing opportunities.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The Company's foreign subsidiaries generally use the local currency as the functional currency. The Company translates all assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates and all income and expense accounts at average rates during the period. Translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions (denominated in currencies other than the local currency) are not material and are included in other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Such estimates pertain to revenue recognition, the valuation of inventory and accounts receivable, the assessment of the recoverability of other intangible and long-lived assets and resolution of litigation and other proceedings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Inventories
The Company records inventory when title is transferred, which occurs upon receipt or prior to receipt dependent on supplier shipping terms. The Company adjusts unsaleable and slow-moving inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Substantially all of the Company’s inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or net realizable value. The remaining portion of the inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

This was a result of the inventory acquired being marked up to an estimated net selling price in purchase accounting and is recognized through cost of sales as the inventory is sold. The amount of step-up to fair value of the acquired inventory remaining as of June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $0, $284,000 and $5,923,000, respectively.

Leases
Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842 - Leases ("ASC 842") using the modified retrospective transition approach. See Note 5 for more information.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in operating lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The current and long-term components of operating lease liabilities are included in the current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are not material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the adoption date for existing leases and as of the commencement date for new leases in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU assets are subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued rent payments, lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company elected the package of transition practical expedients related to lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company made the following accounting policy elections for all asset classes: (1) the Company will not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset, (2) the Company will apply the short-term lease exemption by class of underlying asset, and, (3) the Company will apply the portfolio approach to the development of its discount rates for the leases to be recorded in accordance with ASC 842. The Company has chosen not to elect the hindsight practical expedient for its transition to ASC 842. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application.
Long-Lived Assets including Other Intangible Assets and Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company performs an annual impairment test of the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Additionally, the Company would perform its impairment testing at an interim date if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill or intangibles might be impaired.
Other indefinite lived intangible assets consist of tradenames which are required to be tested annually for impairment. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. To perform a qualitative assessment, an entity must identify and evaluate changes in economic, industry and entity-specific events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. If the result of the qualitative analysis indicates it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, a more detailed fair value calculation will need to be performed which is used to identify potential impairments and to measure the amount of impairment losses to be recognized, if any. The fair value of the Company’s tradenames is calculated using a “relief from royalty payments” methodology. This approach involves first estimating reasonable royalty rates for each trademark then applying these royalty rates to a net sales stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine the fair value. The royalty rate is estimated using both a market and income approach. The market approach relies on the existence of identifiable transactions in the marketplace involving the licensing of tradenames similar to those owned by the Company. The income approach uses a projected pretax profitability rate relevant to the licensed income stream. The Company believes the use of multiple valuation techniques results in a more accurate indicator of the fair value of each tradename. This fair value is then compared with the carrying value of each tradename to determine if impairment exists.
Long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment), except for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to future net cash flows estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
There were no triggering events identified during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 or fiscal 2019 that required interim impairment testing for long-lived assets.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of the Company's products is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive from its customers in exchange for those goods. The Company's revenue is recognized using the five-step model identified in ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." These steps are: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company's contracts with customers generally include one performance obligation under the revenue recognition standard. For most product sales, the performance obligation is the delivery of a specified product, and is satisfied at the point in time when control of the product has transferred to the customer, which takes place when title and risk of loss transfer in accordance with the applicable shipping terms, typically either at shipping point or at delivery to a specified destination. The Company has certain limited products, primarily sewing patterns, that are sold on consignment at mass market retailers. The Company recognizes revenue on these products as they are sold to end consumers as recorded at point-of-sale terminals, which is the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer.
Revenue is recognized based on the consideration specified in a contract with the customer, and is measured as the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring the goods. When applicable, the transaction price includes estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. Variable consideration consists of revenues that are subject to reductions to the transaction price for customer programs, which may include special pricing arrangements for specific customers, volume incentives and other promotions. The Company has significant historical experience with customer programs and estimates the expected consideration considering historical trends. The related reserves are included in accrued customer programs in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company adjusts its estimate of variable consideration at least quarterly or when facts and circumstances used in the estimation process may change. In limited cases, the Company may provide the right to return product to certain customers. The Company also records estimated reductions to revenue, based primarily on known claims, for customer returns and chargebacks that may arise as a result of shipping errors, product damaged in transit or for other reasons that become known subsequent to recognizing the revenue. These provisions are recorded in the period that the related sale is recognized and are reflected as a reduction from gross sales. The related reserves are included as a reduction of accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. If the amount of actual customer returns and chargebacks were to increase or decrease from the estimated amount, revisions to the estimated reserve would be recorded.
The Company treats shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the product. Costs related to shipping of product are recorded as incurred and classified in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Payment terms with customers vary by customer, but generally range from 30 to 90 days. Certain seasonal revenues have extended payment terms in accordance with general industry practice. Since the term between invoicing and expected payment is less than one year, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a financing component.
Sales commissions are earned and recognized as expense as the related revenue is recognized at a point in time. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue and credited directly to obligations to the appropriate governmental agencies.
The Company operates as a single reporting segment, engaged in the creative development, manufacture, procurement, distribution, and sale of craft, gift and seasonal products, primarily to mass market retailers in the United States.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Due to the Company's net losses in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019, potentially dilutive securities of 607,000 shares and 552,000 shares as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, consisting of outstanding stock options and unearned time-based restricted stock units, were excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculation due to their antidilutive effect. Market-based and performance-based restricted stock units are considered contingently issuable shares for diluted income per common share purposes and the dilutive impact, if any, is not included in the weighted-average shares until the market or performance conditions are met even when the Company is profitable for the respective period.

ACQUISITIONS
On June 1, 2018, a subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and net assets of Fitlosophy for $2,500,000 in cash. In addition to the $2,500,000 paid at closing, the Company may pay up to an additional $10,500,000 of contingent earn-out consideration, in cash, if net sales of certain products meet or exceed five different thresholds during the period from the acquisition date through March 31, 2023. If earned, the contingent consideration payments will be paid, generally within 20 days after the end of each rolling twelve-month measurement period (quarterly through March 31, 2023). No such payments of contingent consideration have been earned or paid as of June 30, 2019. At the date of acquisition, the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration was $1,600,000. The estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation discounted to a present value.

Fitlosophy is devoted to creating, marketing, and distributing innovative products that inspire people to develop healthy habits by focusing on effective goal-setting through journaling. Products include a complete line of fitness and wellness planning products all sold under the fitlosophyTM, live life fitTM and fitbookTM brands. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method and the excess of cost over the fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired of $1,390,000 was recorded as goodwill. This goodwill was subsequently deemed impaired as a result of the continued discrepancy between the Company's stockholders' equity balance and its market capitalization, and therefore, was expensed during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

RESTRUCTURING PLANS
Business Restructuring
In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company announced a restructuring plan to combine its operations in the United Kingdom and Australia, respectively. This restructuring was undertaken in order to improve profitability and efficiency through the elimination of (i) redundant back office functions; (ii) certain staffing positions and (iii) excess distribution and warehouse capacity, and was substantially completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Commencing in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recorded an initial restructuring reserve, subsequent additions, and has made cash payments as part of this restructuring plan. Also, in connection with this restructuring plan, the Company recorded an impairment of property, plant and equipment at one of the affected facilities in the United Kingdom of $1,398,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, which was included in restructuring expenses. As of June 30, 2019, the remaining liability of $11,000 was classified in accrued other expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Under the terms of the Company’s 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (“2013 Plan”), the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock units, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, stock bonus awards and dividend equivalents to officers and other employees and non-employee directors. Under the 2013 Plan, a committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approves grants to officers and other employees, and the Board approves grants to non-employee directors. Grants under the 2013 Plan may be made through July 29, 2023. The term of each grant is at the discretion of the Company, but in no event greater than ten years from the date of grant, and at the date of grant the Company has discretion to determine the date or dates on which granted options become exercisable. Service-based stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2019 become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant. Market-based stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2019 become exercisable only if certain market conditions and service requirements are satisfied, and the dates on which they become exercisable will depend on the period in which such market conditions and service requirements are met, if at all, except that vesting and exercisability are accelerated upon a change of control. Outstanding service-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to employees vest at either: (i) the rate of 50% of the shares underlying the grant at each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the date on which the award was granted or (ii) the rate of 25% of the shares underlying the grant on each of the first four anniversaries of the date on which the award was granted. Service-based RSUs granted to directors and outstanding as of June 30, 2019 vested on July 29, 2019. Market-based and performance-based RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2019 will vest only if certain market or performance conditions and service requirements have been met, and the dates on which they vest will depend on the period in which such market or performance conditions and service requirements are met, if at all, except that vesting and redemption are accelerated upon a change of control. The Company recognizes grants, cancellations, and forfeitures as they occur. As of June 30, 2019, there were 570,508 shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan.
The fair value of each stock option granted under the above plan is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no stock options granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019.
The fair value of each performance-based and service-based RSU granted to employees is estimated on the day of grant based on the closing price of the Company's common stock reduced by the present value of the expected dividend stream during the vesting period using the risk-free interest rate. The fair value of each service-based RSU granted to directors, for which dividend equivalents are paid upon vesting of the underlying awards, is estimated on the day of grant based on the closing price of the Company's common stock.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted 213,804 and 157,803 RSUs, respectively, with a weighted average fair value per share of $6.28 and $14.50, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, there were 285,000 and 416,958 outstanding stock options and RSUs, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, there was $451,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. As of June 30, 2019, there was $2,819,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested service-based, market-based and performance-based RSUs granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

LEASES
The Company adopted ASC 842 as of April 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition approach wherein the Company applied the new lease standard at the adoption date. Accordingly, all periods prior to April 1, 2019 were presented in accordance with the previous ASC Topic 840 - Leases ("ASC 840"), and no retrospective adjustments were made to the comparative periods presented. Adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recording of operating lease ROU assets of $51,486,000, operating lease liabilities of $50,180,000, a reduction of favorable lease assets of $2,866,000 and a reduction of net deferred rent liabilities of $1,560,000 as of April 1, 2019. Finance leases are not material to the Company and are not impacted by the adoption of ASC 842, as finance lease liabilities and the corresponding assets were already recorded in the balance sheet under the previous guidance, ASC 840. The adoption did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.
The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, distribution facilities, manufacturing plants, and certain equipment and vehicles. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, which are immaterial to the Company, are not recorded in the balance sheet. For all asset classes, the Company has elected the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward historical lease classification. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not recorded in the balance sheet.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the adoption date for existing leases and on the commencement date for new leases based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. ROU assets also include any advance lease payments. As most of the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the adoption date for existing leases and as of the commencement date for new leases in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company applies the portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on collateralized basis over a similar term to the development of its discount rates.

GOODWILL, OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Fitlosophy acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method and the excess of cost over the fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired of $1,390,000 was recorded as goodwill. The Company determined that a triggering event occurred due to the fact that the Company’s total stockholders’ equity was in excess of the Company's market capitalization. Given this circumstance, the Company bypassed the option to assess qualitative factors to determine the existence of impairment and proceeded directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Based on the results of its impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,390,000. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no goodwill.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into a $125,000,000 asset based senior secured credit facility with three banks (the “ABL Credit Facility”). The Company used the proceeds from borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility to repay in full the Company’s prior credit facility with two banks (the “Prior Credit Facility”), under which the maximum credit available to the Company at any one time (the “Committed Amount”) was $50,000,000 at the time the Prior Credit Facility was repaid and terminated on March 7, 2019. The ABL Credit Facility has a maturity date of March 7, 2024, unless earlier terminated.
On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the ABL Credit Facility. The Amendment reduced the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility from $125,000,000 to $100,000,000. Availability under the Amendment is equal to the lesser of $100,000,000 or a Borrowing Base (as defined in the Amendment), in each case minus (i) revolving loans outstanding and (ii) $15,000,000 until the Agent’s receipt of a compliance certificate demonstrating compliance with the amended financial covenants. The Amendment requires the Company to not permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amendment), as of the end of any calendar month (commencing with the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2020), to be less than 1.00 to 1.00. In addition, commencing with the month ending April 30, 2019 and continuing until the month ending March 31, 2020, the Company is required to have, at the end of each calendar month during such period, EBITDA for the corresponding period (which such period shall be based on a cumulative monthly build-up commencing with the month ending April 30, 2019) then ending of not less than the corresponding amount set forth in the Amendment. The Amendment also limits Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Amendment) for fiscal 2020 to $8,000,000 or less.
Permitted Acquisitions (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) are no longer permitted under the Amendment, and certain Restricted Payments (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) including dividends previously allowed based upon meeting certain leverage ratio and average Availability (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) criteria are no longer allowed.
At the Company’s election, loans made under the ABL Credit Facility will bear interest at either: (i) a base rate (“Base Rate”) plus an applicable rate or (ii) an “Adjusted LIBO Rate” (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) plus an applicable rate, subject to adjustment if an event of default under the ABL Credit Facility has occurred and is continuing. The Base Rate means the highest of (a) the Agent’s “prime rate,” (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for an interest period of one month plus 1%. During the period prior to March 31, 2020, Adjusted LIBO Rate loans made under the ABL Credit Facility will bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus an applicable rate of 2.50%, and Base Rate loans made under the ABL Credit Facility will bear interest at the Base Rate plus an applicable rate of

Table of Contents

1.50%. After March 31, 2020, the applicable rate will be adjusted based on the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) as further set forth in the ABL Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company is subject to a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving commitment, payable monthly to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the lenders.
The ABL Credit Facility is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, including certain real estate, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions as set forth in the ABL Credit Facility and other loan documents, including the Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) entered into by the Company and the Agent contemporaneously with their execution of the ABL Credit Facility.
The ABL Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that are binding on the Company, including, but not limited to, restrictions (subject to specified exceptions and qualifications) on the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness, to create liens, to merge or consolidate, to make dispositions, to make restricted payments such as dividends, distributions or equity repurchases, to make investments or undertake acquisitions, to prepay other indebtedness, to enter into certain transactions with affiliates, to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or to enter into any restrictive agreements. In addition, the ABL Credit Facility requires the Company to abide by certain financial covenants calculated for the Company and its subsidiaries as noted above.
The ABL Credit Facility contains customary events of default (which are in some cases subject to certain exceptions, thresholds, notice requirements and grace periods), including, but not limited to, non-payment of principal or interest or other amounts, misrepresentations, failure to perform or observe covenants, cross-defaults with certain other material indebtedness, certain change in control events, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, certain judgments or decrees, failure of the ABL Credit Facility or other loan documents to be in full force and effect, certain ERISA events and judgments. The ABL Credit Facility also contains certain prepayment provisions, representations, warranties and conditions. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under the ABL Credit Facility.
Under the ABL Credit Facility, all collections on account of collateralized accounts receivable are required to be deposited into lock boxes that are subject to the control of the administrative agent (“Agent”) for the ABL Credit Facility (“Agent-Controlled Lock Boxes”). All funds deposited into Agent-Controlled Lock Boxes are swept daily and are required to be applied by the Agent as repayments of amounts owed by the Company under the ABL Credit Facility. Accordingly, the Company has classified its outstanding loan balance under the ABL Credit Facility as a current liability. The outstanding balance under the ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 was $43,661,000 and $26,139,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, there was $40,000,000 outstanding under the Company's Prior Credit Facility classified as a long term liability.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company historically used certain derivative financial instruments as part of its risk management strategy to reduce interest rate and foreign currency risk. The Company recognized all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value based on quotes obtained from financial institutions. As of March 31, 2019, the interest rate swap agreement was discontinued and the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement as of March 31, 2019 of $580,000 was reclassified into earnings with a realized loss included in other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). There was no interest rate swap agreement as of June 30, 2019. There were no foreign currency contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.
The Company maintains a nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Comp Plan") for qualified employees. The Deferred Comp Plan provides eligible key employees with the opportunity to elect to defer up to 50% of their eligible compensation under the Deferred Comp Plan. The Company may make matching or discretionary contributions, at the discretion of the Board. All compensation deferred under the Deferred Comp Plan is held by the Company. The Company maintains separate accounts for each participant to reflect deferred contribution amounts and the related gains or losses on such deferred amounts. A participant’s account is notionally invested in one or more investment funds and the value of the account is determined with respect to such investment allocations. The related liability is recorded as deferred compensation and included in other long-term obligations in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.
The Company maintains life insurance policies in connection with the Deferred Comp Plan discussed above. The Company also maintains two life insurance policies in connection with separate deferred compensation arrangements with two former executives. The cash surrender value of the policies is recorded in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets and is based on quotes obtained from insurance companies as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.
In connection with the acquisition of Fitlosophy in fiscal 2019, the Company may pay up to an additional $10,500,000 of contingent earn-out consideration, in cash, if net sales of certain products meet or exceed five different thresholds during the period from the acquisition date through March 31, 2023. The estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation discounted to a present value which is accreted over the earn-out period. The contingent consideration liability is included in accrued other expenses in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.

To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the FASB established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The Company’s recurring assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Examples of

Table of Contents

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets and pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in its consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected at carrying value in the consolidated balance sheets and such amounts are a reasonable estimate of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The outstanding balance of the Company’s short-term borrowings and long-term debt approximated its fair value based on the current rates available to the Company for debt of the same maturity and represents Level 2 financial instruments.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s nonfinancial assets which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and certain other assets. These assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that an impairment may exist. In making the assessment of impairment, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to future net cash flows estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
As discussed in Note 2, a subsidiary of the Company acquired substantially all of the business and net assets of Fitlosophy on June 1, 2018 and determined that the aggregate fair value of acquired intangible assets, consisting of tradenames, was $2,032,000. The Company estimated the fair value of the aforementioned acquired intangible assets using discounted cash flow techniques which included an estimate of future cash flows discounted to present value with an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate (Level 3). The Company determined that the aggregate fair value of the acquired inventory in the Fitlosophy acquisition was $452,000, which was estimated as the selling price less costs of disposal (Level 2). The Company estimated the fair value of the Fitlosophy contingent earn-out consideration of $1,600,000 using a Monte Carlo simulation discounted to a present value (Level 3).

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, or sooner if events or circumstances indicate a condition of impairment may exist. Impairment testing is conducted through valuation methods that are based on assumptions for matters such as interest and discount rates, growth projections and other future business conditions (Level 3). These valuation methods require a significant degree of management judgment concerning the use of internal and external data. In the event these methods indicate that fair value is less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation models. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,390,000 due to impairment of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Fitlosophy. See Note 2 and 6 for further discussion.

INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Management assesses all available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated in fiscal 2019 was the cumulative U.S. pretax loss incurred over the then most recent three-year period. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for future taxable income. On the basis of that evaluation, as of December 31, 2018, a full valuation allowance was recorded to fully offset the U.S. net deferred tax assets, as they more likely than not will not be realized. Management updated this assessment as of June 30, 2019, and concluded that the full valuation allowance for U.S. net deferred tax assets is still required.
The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that such position will be sustained on audit, based solely on the technical merits of the position.
The income tax provision for interim periods is comprised of tax on ordinary income (loss) provided at the most recent estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the tax effect of discrete items. Management estimates the annual effective tax rate quarterly based on the forecasted pretax income (loss) results of its U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Items unrelated to current year ordinary income (loss) are recognized entirely in the period identified as a discrete item of tax.  These discrete items generally relate to changes in tax laws, adjustments to the actual liability determined upon filing tax returns, and adjustments to previously recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement," which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing, modifying and adding disclosures related to fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but it does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefits Plans" ("ASU 2018-14"), which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing and adding disclosures related to defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented and is effective for the Company in its fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but it does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 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"). ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Accordingly, the updated guidance requires an entity to determine the stage of a project that the implementation activity relates to and the nature of the associated costs in order to determine whether those costs should be expensed as incurred or capitalized. Capitalized implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the hosting

arrangement is ready for its intended use. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but it does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2018-02"). ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. The amount of the reclassification is calculated based on the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts at the date of the enactment of the Tax Act related to items that remained in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at that time. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected not to reclassify any stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings.

CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
The overall objective of the Company is to grow profitable sales and improve return on invested capital ("ROIC") through five strategic pillars. These strategic pillars include:
*Defend the base business - Design, product innovation, category leadership
*
Expand to adjacent categories with a focus on brands - Focus on fragmented markets, brands, omni-channel
*Build an omni-channel business model - Dedicated resources, leverage technology
*
Improve ROIC by maximizing margins while minimizing capital investment - Streamline and focus on economic value add and working capital
*Build a collaborative, One CSS culture - Communication, accountability, diversity
Approximately 70% of the Company’s net sales are attributable to products within our craft and gift categories, with the remainder attributable to products in the seasonal category. The craft product category reflects products used for craft activities and includes ribbons, trims, buttons, sewing patterns, knitting needles, needle arts and kids crafts. Craft products are sold to mass market, specialty, and online retailers and are generally ordered on a replenishment basis throughout the year. The gift product category is defined as products primarily designed to celebrate certain life events or special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or the birth of a child. Gift products are primarily sold into mass, specialty, and online retailers, floral and packaging wholesalers and distributors, and are generally ordered on a replenishment basis throughout the year. The seasonal product category is defined as products designed, produced and sold to mass market and online retailers for holidays and seasonal events, including Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter and back-to-school. Production forecasts for these products are known well in advance of shipment.
The Company has relatively high market share in many products across its categories. Most of these markets have declined in recent years. The Company continues to confront significant price pressure as its competitors source certain products from overseas and its customers increase direct sourcing from overseas factories. Increasing customer concentration has augmented customers' bargaining power, which has also contributed to price pressure. In recent fiscal years, the Company has experienced lower sales in certain Christmas product lines, craft ribbon product lines, gift stationery product lines, its infant product line, and in its non-retail packaging and floral product lines due to factors such as continued price pressure, inventory destocking, as well as a decline in brick and mortar retail traffic.
The Company has taken several measures to respond to sales volume, cost and price pressures. The Company believes it continues to have strong core product offerings which have allowed it to operate effectively in this competitive market. In addition, the Company is pursuing new product initiatives related to craft, gift and seasonal products, including new licensed and non-licensed product offerings, as well as increased investment in omni-channel offerings.
CSS continually invests in product and packaging design and product knowledge to assure that it can continue to provide unique added value to its customers. In addition, CSS maintains purchasing offices in Hong Kong and China to be able to provide foreign-sourced products at competitive prices. CSS continually evaluates the efficiency and productivity of its production and distribution facilities and of its back office operations to maintain its competitiveness.
CSS' domestically-manufactured plastic decorative ribbon product lines have experienced price pressure and reduced sales volume because of competition from low-priced imports from China. In December 2017, our Berwick Offray company filed trade remedy petitions with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) and the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce Department”) asserting that the competing Chinese products are being imported at less-than-fair value and that they benefit from unfair governmental subsidies.  In the petitions, Berwick Offray requested the imposition of trade remedies in the form of antidumping (“AD”) and countervailing (“CV”) duties on plastic decorative ribbon from China.  The ITC and the Commerce Department completed their respective investigations and issued their final determinations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.  In February 2019, the ITC found that U.S. producers of plastic decorative ribbon have been materially injured by unfairly traded imports of plastic decorative ribbon from China.  In March 2019, the Commerce Department imposed trade remedies, in the form of AD and CV duties, on imports of plastic decorative ribbon from China at combined AD and CV duty rates ranging from 78.14% to 464.71%.  These rates are subject to possible adjustment through an annual administrative review

process, and the AD and CV duty orders issued by the Commerce Department are subject to a sunset review once every five years.  The potential impact of these proceedings is not determinable at this time. 
The Company will continue to build on existing relationships with craft, gift and seasonal customers by expanding and diversifying its product lines and thereby growing its presence in the largest retailers in North America. This includes both capitalizing on opportunities for organic growth in existing businesses as well as acquiring companies which fit into appropriate acquisition parameters. Though we are pausing on acquisitions in the near term, we will continue to actively meet with craft, gift and seasonal companies to review and assess potential acquisition targets. Historically, significant revenue growth at CSS has come through acquisitions. Over the long term, management anticipates that it will continue to consider acquisitions as a strategy to stimulate growth.
On June 1, 2018, a subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and net assets of Fitlosophy, Inc. ("Fitlosophy") for $2,500,000 in cash. In addition to the $2,500,000 paid at closing, the Company may pay up to an additional $10,500,000 of contingent earn-out consideration, in cash, if net sales of certain products meet or exceed five different thresholds during the period from the acquisition date through March 31, 2023. The contingent consideration payments will be paid, if at all, generally within 20 days after the end of each rolling twelve-month measurement period (quarterly through March 31, 2023). At the date of acquisition, the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration was $1,600,000. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, we updated our assessment of the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $1,366,000 and $1,382,000, respectively, which is included in accrued other expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 9 for subsequent accretion charges and June 30, 2019 balance. Fitlosophy is devoted to creating, marketing, and distributing innovative products that inspire people to develop healthy habits by focusing on effective goal-setting through journaling. Products include a complete line of fitness and wellness planning products all sold under the fitlosophyTM, live life fitTM and fitbookTM brands. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method and the excess of cost over the fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired of $1,390,000 was recorded as goodwill. The Company determined that a triggering event occurred due to the fact that the Company’s total stockholders’ equity was in excess of the Company's market capitalization. Given this circumstance, the Company bypassed the option to assess qualitative factors to determine the existence of impairment and proceeded directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Based on the results of its impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,390,000. As of June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company had no goodwill.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The seasonal nature of CSS’ business has historically resulted in lower sales levels and operating losses in the first and fourth quarters and comparatively higher sales levels and operating profits in the second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year, thereby causing significant fluctuations in the quarterly results of operations of the Company.
The following table presents the key results of our operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased to $57,537,000 from $64,127,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was driven by a $4,211,000 decrease in gift sales and a $2,750,000 decrease in seasonal sales, partially offset by an increase of $371,000 in craft sales that was driven by higher replenishment of ribbons and buttons. The decrease in gift sales was primarily due to lower replenishment orders of social stationery products, packaging and wholesale products and everyday trim-a-package products. The decrease in seasonal sales was primarily due to the previously announced exit of the Company’s sports-licensed back-to-school product line.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased to $12,106,000 from $11,647,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by $4,708,000 of lower inventory step-up amortization and $1,227,000 of lower integration costs, which was partially offset by lower sales volume and customer mix of $4,316,000, and higher supply chain costs of $1,185,000.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of $23,047,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased from $28,929,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to lower personnel related costs of $3,868,000. Further decreases in SG&A were driven by lower consulting and technology costs of $826,000, lower product development costs of $250,000, and lower travel related expenses of $504,000.
Restructuring expenses of $2,054,000 were recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2019 associated with the performance improvement initiative, as well as the Company's strategic business initiative. See further discussion of these restructuring initiatives in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. There were no such restructuring expenses recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2018.
An impairment of goodwill of $1,390,000 was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2018 associated with the acquisition of Fitlosophy on June 1, 2018. See further discussion in Notes 2 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements. There was no such impairment recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Interest expense, net of $928,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased from $262,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to the write-off of deferred financing transaction costs of $344,000.
Other income, net of $87,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased from $117,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to a decrease in royalty income.
Income tax expense (benefit), as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes, was (3)% and 2% in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The change was primarily attributable to the impact of a valuation allowance that fully offset the Company’s U.S. net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2019, but not as of June 30, 2018.
The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $14,248,000, or $1.61 per diluted share compared to net loss of $18,476,000, or $2.03 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The seasonal nature of CSS’ business has historically resulted in lower sales levels and operating losses in the first and fourth quarters and comparatively higher sales levels, approximately 64% of the Company's annual net sales in fiscal 2019, and operating profits in the second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year. As payment for seasonal related products is usually not received until just before or just after the holiday selling season in accordance with general industry practice, working capital has historically increased in the second and third quarters, peaking prior to Christmas and dropping thereafter. As such, the Company relies on seasonal borrowings under its ABL Credit Facility, cash on hand and cash generated from its operations to meet its liquidity requirements throughout the year.
On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into a $125,000,000 asset based senior secured credit facility with three banks (the “ABL Credit Facility”). The Company used the proceeds from borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility to repay in full the Company’s prior credit facility with two banks (the “Prior Credit Facility”), under which the maximum credit available to the Company at any one time (the “Committed Amount”) was $50,000,000 at the time the Prior Credit Facility was repaid and terminated on March 7, 2019. On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the ABL Credit Facility. The Amendment reduced the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility from $125,000,000 to $100,000,000. Availability under the Amendment is equal to the lesser of $100,000,000 or a Borrowing Base (as defined in the Amendment), in each case minus (i) revolving loans outstanding and (ii) $15,000,000 until the Agent’s receipt of a compliance certificate demonstrating compliance with the amended financial covenants. For information concerning the ABL Credit Facility, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2019, there was $43,661,000 outstanding under the Company’s ABL Credit Facility.
Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes its sources of available capital are adequate to meet its ongoing cash needs for at least the next 12 months.
The Company had approximately $68,000 of other debt outstanding and approximately $21,000 of finance leases outstanding as of June 30, 2019.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s letter of credit commitments are as follows (in thousands):

The Company has a reimbursement obligation with respect to stand-by letters of credit that guarantee the funding of workers compensation claims and a lease security deposit. The Company has no financial guarantees with any third parties or related parties other than with respect to certain obligations of its subsidiaries.
In connection with the acquisition of Fitlosophy on June 1, 2018, the Company recorded a contingent earn-out obligation of $1,600,000. See further discussion in Notes 2 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company is committed to pay guaranteed minimum royalties attributable to sales of certain licensed products. Reference is made to contractual obligations included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. There have been no significant changes to such contractual obligations.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into arrangements with vendors to purchase merchandise in advance of expected delivery. These purchase orders do not contain any significant termination payments or other penalties if cancelled.
LABOR RELATIONS
With the exception of the bargaining unit at the ribbon manufacturing facility in Hagerstown, Maryland, which totaled 81 employees as of June 30, 2019, CSS employees are not represented by labor unions. The collective bargaining agreement with the labor union representing the Hagerstown-based production and maintenance employees remains in effect until December 31, 2020. Historically, we have been successful in renegotiating expiring agreements without any disruption of operating activities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are

required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: revenue; the assessment of the recoverability of other intangible and long-lived assets; the valuation of inventory and accounts receivable and resolution of litigation and other proceedings. With the exception of leases (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements), there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies affecting the application of those accounting policies as noted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for information concerning recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of those standards.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Any statements contained in this report that do not describe historical facts, including estimates and other statements regarding matters that are to occur in the future, as well as statements regarding future operations, are neither promises nor guarantees and may constitute “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

CSS cautions readers not to rely on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. CSS disclaims any intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect any change in Company expectations or future events, conditions or circumstances on which any such forward-looking statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results may differ from those set forth in such forward-looking statements.

Changes in Internal Controls. The Company implemented the new lease accounting standard under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 as of April 1, 2019. In connection with this change, the Company implemented certain modifications to internal controls over financial reporting, including the documentation of the policy regarding the new accounting for leases, implementation of processes to address various judgments and assessments necessary during the life of a lease, as well as implementing new controls to capture the expanded disclosures required under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842.
Except as described above, there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

CSS INDUSTRIES, INC.
FY2020 Management Incentive Program Criteria

CSS Industries, Inc.

These FY2020 Management Incentive Program Criteria have been approved by the Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of CSS Industries, Inc. (“CSS” or the “Company”) in connection with the CSS Industries, Inc. Management Incentive Program (the “Program”). All defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Program. These FY2020 Management Incentive Program Criteria are not intended in any way to alter, modify or supercede the terms of the Program, and reference should be made to such Program for a full description of the terms of the Program.

For CSS’ fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, these FY2020 Management Incentive Program Criteria shall apply solely to eligible Participants who are employed by the Company or one of its affiliates or subsidiaries and who are designated to participate hereunder.

Notwithstanding any provision in this document or otherwise to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, reserves the right (a) to determine the eligibility requirements for participation in the Program; (b) to determine whether an employee satisfies the eligibility requirements for participation in the Program; (c) to award an Award, if any, to a Participant under the Program; (d) to deny payment of an Award to a Participant otherwise eligible under the terms of the Program or this document; (e) to make an Award, if any, to a Participant in a greater or lesser amount than provided for in the Program or this document; and/or (f) to make an Award, if any, in a manner or on a schedule other than as provided for in the Program or this document.

Participants

Individuals eligible to be Participants under the Program are limited to the Company’s full-time employees or full-time employees of the Company’s affiliates or subsidiaries as determined from time to time, and at any time, at the sole discretion of the Company’s President; provided, however, that Committee approval shall be required for any individual who is an executive officer of the Company or who has an annual base salary in excess of $250,000. Notwithstanding any provision in this document or otherwise to the contrary, the Committee, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to change or modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the Program at any time and from time to time, and to determine whether an employee satisfies the eligibility requirements for participation in the Program. Any new or existing Company employee who becomes eligible for the first time to participate in the Program may, at the Company President’s sole discretion, be eligible to receive a bonus payment, if any, prorated for the months he or she is eligible to receive an Award under the Program; provided, however, that Committee approval shall be required for any Award under the Program to any newly eligible Company employee who is an executive officer of the Company or who has an annual base salary in excess of $250,000. To be eligible to receive payment of an Award hereunder, the applicable Participant must be a full-time employee of the Company or of one or more of the Company’s affiliates or subsidiaries on the date upon which such Award is actually paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Participant has remained continuously employed by the Company or by one of the Company’s affiliates or subsidiaries through the last day of the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, but thereafter dies or is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine to pay an Award for such performance period to the Participant or to his or her executors, legal representatives, administrators, heirs or assigns or any other person claiming under or through such Participant.

Participant Performance Criteria

For the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, each Participant is eligible to receive an Award calculated using a base amount equal to such Participant’s Target Index Amount (as such term is defined below). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of approval thereof, each Award is divided





into three parts: (a) a part entirely contingent upon the achievement by CSS of at least a minimum threshold level, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined herein) (the “Adjusted EBITDA Component”) (b) a part entirely contingent upon the achievement by CSS of at least a minimum threshold level, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, of Net Sales (as defined herein) (the “Net Sales Component”), and (c) an individual part determined by the Committee in its sole discretion based upon, among other things, each Participant’s achievement of his or her specific goals and objectives and/or CSS’ achievement of its corporate goals. For purposes of this Program, “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as the Company’s consolidated earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), each as reported in CSS’ consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, as adjusted to reflect any adjustments to EBITDA determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at the time that these FY2020 Management Incentive Program Criteria are approved by the Committee. For purposes of this Program, “Net Sales” is defined in the same manner used by the Company for purposes of publicly reporting the Company’s net sales (for clarity, as of the approval date of this Program, the Company determines “net sales” as amounts invoiced to the Company’s customers less (i) estimated amounts for special programs to customers, such as volume incentives, new store allowances, defective goods, and other programs, and (ii) allowances for returns, damaged goods, shipping errors, and other items).

At the time that it approves these FY2020 Management Incentive Program Criteria, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine: (i) the minimum threshold levels of Adjusted EBITDA and Net Sales that must be achieved in order for there to be payouts under the Adjusted EBITDA Component and the Net Sales Component (each a “Component”), respectively, (ii) the amount to be paid under each Component if the threshold level for that Component is attained, and (iii) the amount to be paid under each Component if the threshold for that Component is exceeded, i.e., the payout amount that corresponds to a specified level of achievement in excess of the threshold amount for each Component, including the levels of achievement required in order for the portion of each Award attributable to each Component to be paid at the target and maximum levels, respectively.
  
If the minimum threshold level is not achieved for a Component contingent upon achievement of such level, no Award for that Component will be paid.

Target Index Amount

The “Target Index Amount” for each Participant is determined by multiplying (i) the Participant’s guideline percentage (based upon the Participant’s position and determined at the sole discretion of the Committee or, if not specifically determined by the Committee, at the sole discretion of the Company’s President) by (ii) the Participant’s base salary effective as of the later of April 1, 2019 or the date upon which such Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Program, as determined at the sole discretion of the Committee or, if not specifically determined by the Committee, at the sole discretion of the Company’s President.

Example: a Participant has a base salary of $40,000 effective as of April 1, 2019 and has a guideline percentage of 15%.

Guideline        Base Salary     Target Index
Percentage    *    as of 4/1/19    =    Amount
15%        *     $40,000    =     $6,000

A Participant who changes job positions during the Fiscal Year (i.e., moves to a higher or lower job level that is an eligible position under the Program) will be eligible to receive an Award that is based upon the employee’s annual salary and level in effect as of April 1, 2019, plus or minus any pro rata adjustment that is effective with the change in position.

Receipt of an Award is not a guarantee that the applicable Participant will receive a payout thereunder equal to his or her Target Index Amount, or that the Participant will receive any payout under such Award.







Allocation of Target Index Amount
For purposes of determining payouts under each Award, the Target Index Amount is allocated as follows:
 
(a) 50% is entirely contingent upon the Company’s level of achievement under the Adjusted EBITDA Component;

(b) 20% is entirely contingent upon the Company’s level of achievement under the Net Sales Component; and
  
(c) 30% is based on individual performance, determined by the Committee based upon, among other things, each Participant’s achievement of his or her specific goals and objectives and/or CSS’ and/or the Company’s achievement of its respective corporate goals (the “Discretionary Component”).


Adjusted EBITDA Component

The payout, if any, under the Adjusted EBITDA Component will be equal to the payout level, as determined by the Committee at the time that these FY2020 Management Incentive Program Criteria were approved, that corresponds to the level of Adjusted EBITDA achieved by the Company during its 2020 fiscal year. No portion of the Adjusted EBITDA Component of an Award will be paid unless and until the Committee shall have certified the actual level of Adjusted EBITDA achieved by the Company during its 2020 fiscal year in relation to the corresponding payout levels established by the Committee at the time that these FY2020 Management Incentive Program Criteria were approved.


Net Sales Component

The payout, if any, under the Net Sales Component will be equal to the payout level, as determined by the Committee at the time that these FY2020 Management Incentive Program Criteria were approved, that corresponds to the level of Net Sales achieved by the Company during its 2020 fiscal year. No portion of the Net Sales Component of an Award will be paid unless and until the Committee shall have certified the actual level of Net Sales achieved by the Company during its 2020 fiscal year in relation to the corresponding payout levels established by the Committee at the time that these FY2020 Management Incentive Program Criteria were approved.
                
Discretionary Component

The payout, if any, under the Discretionary Component will be determined at the sole discretion of the Committee, and may be based upon, among other things, each Participant’s achievement of his or her specific goals and objectives and/or CSS’ achievement of its corporate goals. Each Participant will develop with his or her supervisor specific goals and objectives to be achieved by the Participant during the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. Such goals and objectives should be documented in a manner acceptable to CSS’ President, in his or her sole discretion, either at the beginning of the fiscal year, the date upon which the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Program, the date upon which such Participant’s position with the Company changes, or such other date as selected by CSS’ President, in his or her sole discretion. At the end of the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, the level of each Participant’s achievement of his or her goals and objectives will be determined by the applicable Participant’s supervisor, in his or her sole discretion, and submitted to CSS’ President for review and approval, in his or her sole discretion. With respect to Participants who are executive officers of CSS or who have annual base salaries in excess of $250,000, the Committee, in its sole discretion, will review and approve, disapprove or modify the Company’s determination as to each such Participant’s level of achievement of his or her goals and objectives. The Program is not intended to duplicate the Company’s merit salary review process, and a Participant’s Discretionary Component ratings may vary from his or her merit salary review performance rating.






Although a Participant’s achievement of his or her goals and objectives may exceed 100%, the aggregate amount payable to all Company Participants attributable to the Discretionary Component shall not exceed the Company’s budgeted bonus amount attributable to the Discretionary Component without the prior approval of the Committee, in its sole discretion.

CSS INDUSTRIES, INC.

2013 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT, dated as of ___________ __, 20__ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by CSS Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) to «FirstName» «LastName» (the “Grantee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has determined to grant the Grantee stock units that will be converted to shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share, (the “Company Stock”); and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the stock units granted to the Grantee shall be issued under the CSS Industries, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and the terms and conditions of such stock units shall be memorialized in this Stock Unit Grant (the “Grant”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee _____ stock units (collectively, the “Restricted Stock Units”). The Restricted Stock Units are contingently awarded and will be earned and distributable if and only to the extent that the performance goal and other conditions set forth in this Grant are met. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall be a phantom right and shall be equivalent to one share of Company Stock on the applicable Redemption Date (as defined below). The number of Restricted Stock Units set forth above is equal to the target number of shares of Company Stock that the Grantee will earn for 100% achievement of the performance goal described in Paragraph 3 below (the “Target Award”).
2.Restricted Stock Unit Account. The Company shall establish and maintain a Restricted Stock Unit account as a bookkeeping account on its records (the “Restricted Stock Unit Account”) for the Grantee and shall record in such Restricted Stock Unit Account the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee. The Grantee shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this Grant or the Restricted Stock Unit Account established for the Grantee.
3.Performance Goal.
(a)Unless a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period (as defined below), the distribution of shares of Company Stock attributable to the Restricted Stock Units is contingent based on the average level of attainment of the Performance Measure (as defined below) for each Annual Measurement Period (as defined below) in the Performance Period, in accordance with the schedule determined by the Committee at the time the Performance Measures and applicable Performance Goals are established by the Committee and the Grantee satisfying the continuation of





employment with the Employer (as defined in the Plan) requirement described in Paragraph 3(a)(iii) and 4 below.
(i)The Committee shall establish, within ninety (90) days following the beginning of each Annual Measurement Period, the Performance Measure and the Performance Goals with respect to each Performance Measure that must be attained for threshold, target and maximum performance for each Annual Measurement Period. The Performance Measure and Performance Goals for each Annual Measurement Period will be provided to the Grantee in a separate notification.
(ii)As soon as administratively practicable following the end of each Annual Measurement Period in the Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goal has been met for such Annual Measurement Period, based on the attainment of the Performance Goal for the Performance Measure established by the Committee for that Annual Measurement Period. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee at the time the Performance Goal is determined for an Annual Measurement Period, the percentage of achievement of the Performance Goal for such Annual Measurement Period shall be interpolated, on a mathematical straight-line basis, to reflect attained performance between the ends of the applicable spectrum.
(iii)As soon as administratively practicable following the end of the Performance Period, but not later than within seventy-five (75) days following the end of the Performance Period, the percentage of achievement of the Performance Goal for each Annual Measurement Period in the Performance Period will be averaged by the Committee to determine the actual percentage of Restricted Stock Units that are distributable under this Grant, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Grant, including that, except as described in Paragraph 4 below, the Grantee must be Employed by the Employer (as defined in the Plan) on the Redemption Date in order to earn the Restricted Stock Units. In no event will the calculation of a positive distribution percentage for any Annual Measurement Period be construed to guarantee that any shares of Company Stock will be distributed to the Grantee on the Redemption Date. The distribution percentages for each Annual Measurement Period are determined solely for purposes of determining the average Annual Measurement Period percentage for the Performance Period. The date following the end of the Performance Period on which the Committee certifies the level of achievement of the actual percentage of Restricted Units that may be distributed based on the average percentages for the Performance Period is referred to as the “Certification Date”.
(iv)Definitions. For purposes of this Grant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(1)Performance Goal” means the level of performance that must be attained with respect to a Performance Measure for an Annual Measurement Period for attainment of the threshold, target, maximum and any other specified distribution percentages for such Annual Measurement Period.
(2)Performance Measure” means for any Annual Measurement Period a financial measure based on Adjusted EBITDA (as such term is defined by the Committee for the Annual Measurement Period), as determined by the Committee.
(3)Performance Period” means the period beginning on [ _____________] and ending [___________]. The Performance Period consists of [_________] “Annual Measurement Periods.” The Annual Measurement Periods shall begin and end as follows: [_________________].
(b)If a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Performance Period will end on the date of the Change of Control, the Performance Goal will be deemed achieved at the Target Level as of the date of the Change of Control, and the Restricted Stock Units at the Target Level will be earned as of the date of the Change of Control, provided that the Grantee is Employed by the Employer on the date of the Change of Control. For purposes of this Grant, the term “Change of Control” shall mean as such term is defined in the Plan, except that a Change of Control shall





not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Grant unless the event constituting the Change of Control constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and its corresponding regulations.
(c)Any Restricted Stock Units that may not be distributable as of the end of the Performance Period will be immediately forfeited, unless forfeited earlier as provided in this Grant.
4.Termination of Employment.
(a)If, at least one year after the beginning of the Performance Period, but prior to the Redemption Date, the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of termination by the Employer on account of Disability (as defined in the Employer’s long-term disability plan) or Retirement (as defined in the Plan), the Grantee will earn, if any, a pro-rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units, based on the level of achievement of the average level of attainment of the Performance Measure for each Annual Measurement Period in the Performance Period and if the requirements of this Grant are met as of the last day of the Performance Period. The prorated portion will be determined as the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have been earned if the Participant had remained employed through the Redemption Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Grantee was employed by the Employer during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.

The prorated portion will be determined as the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have been earned if the Participant had remained employed through the Redemption Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Grantee was employed by the Employer during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.

(d)If at any time prior to the date the vested Restricted Stock Units, if any, are redeemed in accordance with Paragraph 5 the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of a termination for Cause by the Employer, all of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Grant shall be immediately forfeited and the Grantee shall not have any rights with respect to the redemption of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, irrespective of the level of achievement of the average level of attainment of the Performance Measure for each Annual Measurement Period in the Performance Period. In addition, if the Grantee engages in conduct that constitutes Cause after the Grantee’s employment terminates, and prior to the date on which the vested Restricted Stock Units, if any, are redeemed in accordance with Paragraph 5, such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited and the Grantee shall not have any rights with respect to the redemption of any portion of such Restricted Stock Units.

2013 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT, dated as of ___________ __, 20__ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by CSS Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) to «FirstName» «LastName» (the “Grantee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has determined to grant the Grantee stock units that will be converted to shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share, (the “Company Stock”); and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the stock units granted to the Grantee shall be issued under the CSS Industries, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and the terms and conditions of such stock units shall be memorialized in this Stock Unit Grant (the “Grant”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee _____ stock units (collectively, the “Restricted Stock Units”). The Restricted Stock Units are contingently awarded and will be earned and distributable if and only to the extent that the performance goal and other conditions set forth in this Grant are met. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall be a phantom right and shall be equivalent to one share of Company Stock on the applicable Redemption Date (as defined below). The number of Restricted Stock Units set forth above is equal to the target number of shares of Company Stock that the Grantee will earn for 100% achievement of the performance goal described in Paragraph 3 below (the “Target Award”).
2.Restricted Stock Unit Account. The Company shall establish and maintain a Restricted Stock Unit account as a bookkeeping account on its records (the “Restricted Stock Unit Account”) for the Grantee and shall record in such Restricted Stock Unit Account the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee. The Grantee shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this Grant or the Restricted Stock Unit Account established for the Grantee.
3.Performance Goal.
(a)Unless a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period (as defined below), the distribution of shares of Company Stock attributable to the Restricted Stock Units is contingent based on the average level of attainment of the Performance Measure (as defined below) for each Annual Measurement Period (as defined below) in the Performance Period, in accordance with the schedule determined by the Committee at the time the Performance Measures and applicable Performance Goals are established by the Committee and the Grantee satisfying the continuation of employment with the Employer (as defined in the Plan) requirement described in Paragraph 3(a)(iii) and 4 below.





(i)The Committee shall establish, within ninety (90) days following the beginning of each Annual Measurement Period, the Performance Measure and the Performance Goals with respect to each Performance Measure that must be attained for threshold, target and maximum performance for each Annual Measurement Period. The Performance Measure and Performance Goals for each Annual Measurement Period will be provided to the Grantee in a separate notification.
(ii)As soon as administratively practicable following the end of each Annual Measurement Period in the Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goal has been met for such Annual Measurement Period, based on the attainment of the Performance Goal for the Performance Measure established by the Committee for that Annual Measurement Period. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee at the time the Performance Goal is determined for an Annual Measurement Period, the percentage of achievement of the Performance Goal for such Annual Measurement Period shall be interpolated, on a mathematical straight-line basis, to reflect attained performance between the ends of the applicable spectrum.
(iii)As soon as administratively practicable following the end of the Performance Period, but not later than within seventy-five (75) days following the end of the Performance Period, the percentage of achievement of the Performance Goal for each Annual Measurement Period in the Performance Period will be averaged by the Committee to determine the actual percentage of Restricted Stock Units that are distributable under this Grant, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Grant, including that, except as described in Paragraph 4 below, the Grantee must be Employed by the Employer (as defined in the Plan) on the Redemption Date in order to earn the Restricted Stock Units. In no event will the calculation of a positive distribution percentage for any Annual Measurement Period be construed to guarantee that any shares of Company Stock will be distributed to the Grantee on the Redemption Date. The distribution percentages for each Annual Measurement Period are determined solely for purposes of determining the average Annual Measurement Period percentage for the Performance Period. The date following the end of the Performance Period on which the Committee certifies the level of achievement of the actual percentage of Restricted Units that may be distributed based on the average percentages for the Performance Period is referred to as the “Certification Date”.
(iv)Definitions. For purposes of this Grant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(1)Performance Goal” means the level of performance that must be attained with respect to a Performance Measure for an Annual Measurement Period for attainment of the threshold, target, maximum and any other specified distribution percentages for such Annual Measurement Period.
(2)Performance Measure” means for any Annual Measurement Period a financial measure based on Net Sales (as such term is defined by the Committee for the Annual Measurement Period), as determined by the Committee.
(3)Performance Period” means the period beginning on [ _____________] and ending [___________]. The Performance Period consists of [_________] “Annual Measurement Periods.” The Annual Measurement Periods shall begin and end as follows: [_________________].
(b)If a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, then the Performance Period will end on the date of the Change of Control, the Performance Goal will be deemed achieved at the Target Level as of the date of the Change of Control, and the Restricted Stock Units at the Target Level will be earned as of the date of the Change of Control, provided that the Grantee is Employed by the Employer on the date of the Change of Control. For purposes of this Grant, the term “Change of Control” shall mean as such term is defined in the Plan, except that a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Grant unless the event constituting the Change of Control constitutes a change in ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a





substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and its corresponding regulations.
(c)Any Restricted Stock Units that may not be distributable as of the end of the Performance Period will be immediately forfeited, unless forfeited earlier as provided in this Grant.

The prorated portion will be determined as the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have been earned if the Participant had remained employed through the Redemption Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Grantee was employed by the Employer during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.

The prorated portion will be determined as the number of Restricted Stock Units that would have been earned if the Participant had remained employed through the Redemption Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that the Grantee was employed by the Employer during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.

(c)Except as provided in subparagraphs (a) or (b) above or subparagraph (d) below, if at any time prior to the Redemption Date, the Grantee’s employment with the Employer is terminated by the Employer on account of any reason or no reason or by the Grantee for any reason or no reason, all of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Grant shall be immediately forfeited as of the date of the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Employer and the Grantee shall not have any rights with respect to the redemption of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Significant Accounting Policies
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
CSS Industries, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “CSS” or the “Company”) has prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements 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. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to a particular fiscal year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, “fiscal 2020” refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Business
CSS is a creative consumer products company, focused on the craft, gift and seasonal categories. For these design-driven categories, the Company engages in the creative development, manufacture, procurement, distribution and sale of our products with an omni-channel approach focused primarily on mass market retailers.
Craft The craft category includes sewing patterns, ribbons and trims, buttons, knitting needles, needle arts and kids crafts. These products are sold to mass market, specialty, and online retailers, and are generally ordered on a replenishment basis throughout the year.
Gift The gift category includes products designed to celebrate certain life events or special occasions, such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or the birth of a child. Products include ribbons and bows, floral accessories, infant products, journals, gift card holders, all occasion boxed greeting cards, memory books, scrapbooks, stationery, and other items that commemorate life's celebrations. Products in this category are primarily sold into mass, specialty, and online retailers, floral and packaging wholesalers and distributors, and are generally ordered on a replenishment basis throughout the year.
Seasonal The seasonal category includes holiday gift packaging items such as ribbon, bows, greeting cards, bags, tags and gift card holders, in addition to specific holiday-themed decorations, accessories, and activities, such as Easter egg dyes and novelties and Valentine's Day classroom exchange cards. These products are sold to mass market retailers, and production forecasts for these products are generally known well in advance of shipment.
CSS’ product breadth provides its retail customers the opportunity to use a single vendor for much of their craft, gift and seasonal product requirements. A substantial portion of CSS’ products are manufactured and packaged in the United States and warehoused and distributed from facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with the remainder sourced from foreign suppliers, primarily in Asia. The Company also has a manufacturing facility in India that produces certain craft products, including trims, braids and tassels, and also has a distribution facility in India. The Company’s products are sold to its customers by national and regional account sales managers, sales representatives, product specialists and by a network of independent manufacturers’ representatives. CSS maintains purchasing offices in Hong Kong and China to administer Asian sourcing opportunities.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The Company's foreign subsidiaries generally use the local currency as the functional currency. The Company translates all assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates and all income and expense accounts at average rates during the period. Translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions (denominated in currencies other than the local currency) are not material and are included in other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Such estimates pertain to revenue recognition, the valuation of inventory and accounts receivable, the assessment of the recoverability of other intangible and long-lived assets and resolution of litigation and other proceedings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Inventories
The Company records inventory when title is transferred, which occurs upon receipt or prior to receipt dependent on supplier shipping terms. The Company adjusts unsaleable and slow-moving inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Substantially all of the Company’s inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or net realizable value. The remaining portion of the inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

The amount of step-up to fair value of the acquired inventory remaining as of June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $0, $284,000 and $5,923,000, respectively.

Depreciation expense was $2,414,000 and $2,030,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Leases
Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842 - Leases ("ASC 842") using the modified retrospective transition approach. See Note 5 for more information.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in operating lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The current and long-term components of operating lease liabilities are included in the current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are not material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the adoption date for existing leases and as of the commencement date for new leases in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU assets are subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued rent payments, lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company elected the package of transition practical expedients related to lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company made the following accounting policy elections for all asset classes: (1) the Company will not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset, (2) the Company will apply the short-term lease exemption by class of underlying asset, and, (3) the Company will apply the portfolio approach to the development of its discount rates for the leases to be recorded in accordance with ASC 842. The Company has chosen not to elect the hindsight practical expedient for its transition to ASC 842. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application.
Long-Lived Assets including Other Intangible Assets and Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company performs an annual impairment test of the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Additionally, the Company would perform its impairment testing at an interim date if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill or intangibles might be impaired.
Other indefinite lived intangible assets consist of tradenames which are required to be tested annually for impairment. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. To perform a qualitative assessment, an entity must identify and evaluate changes in economic, industry and entity-specific events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. If the result of the qualitative analysis indicates it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, a more detailed fair value calculation will need to be performed which is used to identify potential impairments and to measure the amount of impairment losses to be recognized, if any. The fair value of the Company’s tradenames is calculated using a “relief from royalty payments” methodology. This approach involves first estimating reasonable royalty rates for each trademark then applying these royalty rates to a net sales stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine the fair value. The royalty rate is estimated using both a market and income approach. The market approach relies on the existence of identifiable transactions in the marketplace involving the licensing of tradenames similar to those owned by the Company. The income approach uses a projected pretax profitability rate relevant to the licensed income stream. The Company believes the use of multiple valuation techniques results in a more accurate indicator of the fair value of each tradename. This fair value is then compared with the carrying value of each tradename to determine if impairment exists.
Long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment), except for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to future net cash flows estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
There were no triggering events identified during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 or fiscal 2019 that required interim impairment testing for long-lived assets.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of the Company's products is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive from its customers in exchange for those goods. The Company's revenue is recognized using the five-step model identified in ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." These steps are: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company's contracts with customers generally include one performance obligation under the revenue recognition standard. For most product sales, the performance obligation is the delivery of a specified product, and is satisfied at the point in time when control of the product has transferred to the customer, which takes place when title and risk of loss transfer in accordance with the applicable shipping terms, typically either at shipping point or at delivery to a specified destination. The Company has certain limited products, primarily sewing patterns, that are sold on consignment at mass market retailers. The Company recognizes revenue on these products as they are sold to end consumers as recorded at point-of-sale terminals, which is the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer.
Revenue is recognized based on the consideration specified in a contract with the customer, and is measured as the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring the goods. When applicable, the transaction price includes estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. Variable consideration consists of revenues that are subject to reductions to the transaction price for customer programs, which may include special pricing arrangements for specific customers, volume incentives and other promotions. The Company has significant historical experience with customer programs and estimates the expected consideration considering historical trends. The related reserves are included in accrued customer programs in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company adjusts its estimate of variable consideration at least quarterly or when facts and circumstances used in the estimation process may change. In limited cases, the Company may provide the right to return product to certain customers. The Company also records estimated reductions to revenue, based primarily on known claims, for customer returns and chargebacks that may arise as a result of shipping errors, product damaged in transit or for other reasons that become known subsequent to recognizing the revenue. These provisions are recorded in the period that the related sale is recognized and are reflected as a reduction from gross sales. The related reserves are included as a reduction of accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. If the amount of actual customer returns and chargebacks were to increase or decrease from the estimated amount, revisions to the estimated reserve would be recorded.
The Company treats shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the product. Costs related to shipping of product are recorded as incurred and classified in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Payment terms with customers vary by customer, but generally range from 30 to 90 days. Certain seasonal revenues have extended payment terms in accordance with general industry practice. Since the term between invoicing and expected payment is less than one year, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a financing component.
Sales commissions are earned and recognized as expense as the related revenue is recognized at a point in time. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue and credited directly to obligations to the appropriate governmental agencies.
The Company operates as a single reporting segment, engaged in the creative development, manufacture, procurement, distribution, and sale of craft, gift and seasonal products, primarily to mass market retailers in the United States.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Due to the Company's net losses in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019, potentially dilutive securities of 607,000 shares and 552,000 shares as of June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, consisting of outstanding stock options and unearned time-based restricted stock units, were excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculation due to their antidilutive effect. Market-based and performance-based restricted stock units are considered contingently issuable shares for diluted income per common share purposes and the dilutive impact, if any, is not included in the weighted-average shares until the market or performance conditions are met even when the Company is profitable for the respective period.

Acquisitions
ACQUISITIONS
On June 1, 2018, a subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the business and net assets of Fitlosophy for $2,500,000 in cash. In addition to the $2,500,000 paid at closing, the Company may pay up to an additional $10,500,000 of contingent earn-out consideration, in cash, if net sales of certain products meet or exceed five different thresholds during the period from the acquisition date through March 31, 2023. If earned, the contingent consideration payments will be paid, generally within 20 days after the end of each rolling twelve-month measurement period (quarterly through March 31, 2023). No such payments of contingent consideration have been earned or paid as of June 30, 2019. At the date of acquisition, the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration was $1,600,000. The estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation discounted to a present value.

Fitlosophy is devoted to creating, marketing, and distributing innovative products that inspire people to develop healthy habits by focusing on effective goal-setting through journaling. Products include a complete line of fitness and wellness planning products all sold under the fitlosophyTM, live life fitTM and fitbookTM brands. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method and the excess of cost over the fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired of $1,390,000 was recorded as goodwill. This goodwill was subsequently deemed impaired as a result of the continued discrepancy between the Company's stockholders' equity balance and its market capitalization, and therefore, was expensed during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Share-Based Compensation
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Under the terms of the Company’s 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (“2013 Plan”), the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock units, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, stock bonus awards and dividend equivalents to officers and other employees and non-employee directors. Under the 2013 Plan, a committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") approves grants to officers and other employees, and the Board approves grants to non-employee directors. Grants under the 2013 Plan may be made through July 29, 2023. The term of each grant is at the discretion of the Company, but in no event greater than ten years from the date of grant, and at the date of grant the Company has discretion to determine the date or dates on which granted options become exercisable. Service-based stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2019 become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant. Market-based stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2019 become exercisable only if certain market conditions and service requirements are satisfied, and the dates on which they become exercisable will depend on the period in which such market conditions and service requirements are met, if at all, except that vesting and exercisability are accelerated upon a change of control. Outstanding service-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to employees vest at either: (i) the rate of 50% of the shares underlying the grant at each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the date on which the award was granted or (ii) the rate of 25% of the shares underlying the grant on each of the first four anniversaries of the date on which the award was granted. Service-based RSUs granted to directors and outstanding as of June 30, 2019 vested on July 29, 2019. Market-based and performance-based RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2019 will vest only if certain market or performance conditions and service requirements have been met, and the dates on which they vest will depend on the period in which such market or performance conditions and service requirements are met, if at all, except that vesting and redemption are accelerated upon a change of control. The Company recognizes grants, cancellations, and forfeitures as they occur. As of June 30, 2019, there were 570,508 shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan.
The fair value of each stock option granted under the above plan is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no stock options granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019.
The fair value of each performance-based and service-based RSU granted to employees is estimated on the day of grant based on the closing price of the Company's common stock reduced by the present value of the expected dividend stream during the vesting period using the risk-free interest rate. The fair value of each service-based RSU granted to directors, for which dividend equivalents are paid upon vesting of the underlying awards, is estimated on the day of grant based on the closing price of the Company's common stock.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted 213,804 and 157,803 RSUs, respectively, with a weighted average fair value per share of $6.28 and $14.50, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, there were 285,000 and 416,958 outstanding stock options and RSUs, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, there was $451,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. As of June 30, 2019, there was $2,819,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested service-based, market-based and performance-based RSUs granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
Compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs recognized in operating results (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) was $73,000 and $471,000 in the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

LEASES
The Company adopted ASC 842 as of April 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition approach wherein the Company applied the new lease standard at the adoption date. Accordingly, all periods prior to April 1, 2019 were presented in accordance with the previous ASC Topic 840 - Leases ("ASC 840"), and no retrospective adjustments were made to the comparative periods presented. Adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recording of operating lease ROU assets of $51,486,000, operating lease liabilities of $50,180,000, a reduction of favorable lease assets of $2,866,000 and a reduction of net deferred rent liabilities of $1,560,000 as of April 1, 2019. Finance leases are not material to the Company and are not impacted by the adoption of ASC 842, as finance lease liabilities and the corresponding assets were already recorded in the balance sheet under the previous guidance, ASC 840. The adoption did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.
The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, distribution facilities, manufacturing plants, and certain equipment and vehicles. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, which are immaterial to the Company, are not recorded in the balance sheet. For all asset classes, the Company has elected the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carry forward historical lease classification. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not recorded in the balance sheet.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the adoption date for existing leases and on the commencement date for new leases based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. ROU assets also include any advance lease payments. As most of the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the adoption date for existing leases and as of the commencement date for new leases in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company applies the portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that it would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on collateralized basis over a similar term to the development of its discount rates.

GOODWILL, OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Fitlosophy acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method and the excess of cost over the fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired of $1,390,000 was recorded as goodwill. The Company determined that a triggering event occurred due to the fact that the Company’s total stockholders’ equity was in excess of the Company's market capitalization. Given this circumstance, the Company bypassed the option to assess qualitative factors to determine the existence of impairment and proceeded directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. Based on the results of its impairment test, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,390,000. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no goodwill.

Short-Term Borrowings And Credit Arrangements
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
On March 7, 2019, the Company entered into a $125,000,000 asset based senior secured credit facility with three banks (the “ABL Credit Facility”). The Company used the proceeds from borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility to repay in full the Company’s prior credit facility with two banks (the “Prior Credit Facility”), under which the maximum credit available to the Company at any one time (the “Committed Amount”) was $50,000,000 at the time the Prior Credit Facility was repaid and terminated on March 7, 2019. The ABL Credit Facility has a maturity date of March 7, 2024, unless earlier terminated.
On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the ABL Credit Facility. The Amendment reduced the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility from $125,000,000 to $100,000,000. Availability under the Amendment is equal to the lesser of $100,000,000 or a Borrowing Base (as defined in the Amendment), in each case minus (i) revolving loans outstanding and (ii) $15,000,000 until the Agent’s receipt of a compliance certificate demonstrating compliance with the amended financial covenants. The Amendment requires the Company to not permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amendment), as of the end of any calendar month (commencing with the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2020), to be less than 1.00 to 1.00. In addition, commencing with the month ending April 30, 2019 and continuing until the month ending March 31, 2020, the Company is required to have, at the end of each calendar month during such period, EBITDA for the corresponding period (which such period shall be based on a cumulative monthly build-up commencing with the month ending April 30, 2019) then ending of not less than the corresponding amount set forth in the Amendment. The Amendment also limits Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Amendment) for fiscal 2020 to $8,000,000 or less.
Permitted Acquisitions (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) are no longer permitted under the Amendment, and certain Restricted Payments (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) including dividends previously allowed based upon meeting certain leverage ratio and average Availability (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) criteria are no longer allowed.
At the Company’s election, loans made under the ABL Credit Facility will bear interest at either: (i) a base rate (“Base Rate”) plus an applicable rate or (ii) an “Adjusted LIBO Rate” (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) plus an applicable rate, subject to adjustment if an event of default under the ABL Credit Facility has occurred and is continuing. The Base Rate means the highest of (a) the Agent’s “prime rate,” (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for an interest period of one month plus 1%. During the period prior to March 31, 2020, Adjusted LIBO Rate loans made under the ABL Credit Facility will bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus an applicable rate of 2.50%, and Base Rate loans made under the ABL Credit Facility will bear interest at the Base Rate plus an applicable rate of 1.50%. After March 31, 2020, the applicable rate will be adjusted based on the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) as further set forth in the ABL Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company is subject to a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving commitment, payable monthly to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the lenders.
The ABL Credit Facility is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, including certain real estate, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions as set forth in the ABL Credit Facility and other loan documents, including the Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) entered into by the Company and the Agent contemporaneously with their execution of the ABL Credit Facility.
The ABL Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that are binding on the Company, including, but not limited to, restrictions (subject to specified exceptions and qualifications) on the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness, to create liens, to merge or consolidate, to make dispositions, to make restricted payments such as dividends, distributions or equity repurchases, to make investments or undertake acquisitions, to prepay other indebtedness, to enter into certain transactions with affiliates, to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, or to enter into any restrictive agreements. In addition, the ABL Credit Facility requires the Company to abide by certain financial covenants calculated for the Company and its subsidiaries as noted above.
The ABL Credit Facility contains customary events of default (which are in some cases subject to certain exceptions, thresholds, notice requirements and grace periods), including, but not limited to, non-payment of principal or interest or other amounts, misrepresentations, failure to perform or observe covenants, cross-defaults with certain other material indebtedness, certain change in control events, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, certain judgments or decrees, failure of the ABL Credit Facility or other loan documents to be in full force and effect, certain ERISA events and judgments. The ABL Credit Facility also contains certain prepayment provisions, representations, warranties and conditions. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under the ABL Credit Facility.
Under the ABL Credit Facility, all collections on account of collateralized accounts receivable are required to be deposited into lock boxes that are subject to the control of the administrative agent (“Agent”) for the ABL Credit Facility (“Agent-Controlled Lock Boxes”). All funds deposited into Agent-Controlled Lock Boxes are swept daily and are required to be applied by the Agent as repayments of amounts owed by the Company under the ABL Credit Facility. Accordingly, the Company has classified its outstanding loan balance under the ABL Credit Facility as a current liability. The outstanding balance under the ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 was $43,661,000 and $26,139,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, there was $40,000,000 outstanding under the Company's Prior Credit Facility classified as a long term liability.

Fair Value Measurements
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company historically used certain derivative financial instruments as part of its risk management strategy to reduce interest rate and foreign currency risk. The Company recognized all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value based on quotes obtained from financial institutions. As of March 31, 2019, the interest rate swap agreement was discontinued and the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement as of March 31, 2019 of $580,000 was reclassified into earnings with a realized loss included in other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). There was no interest rate swap agreement as of June 30, 2019. There were no foreign currency contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.
The Company maintains a nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Comp Plan") for qualified employees. The Deferred Comp Plan provides eligible key employees with the opportunity to elect to defer up to 50% of their eligible compensation under the Deferred Comp Plan. The Company may make matching or discretionary contributions, at the discretion of the Board. All compensation deferred under the Deferred Comp Plan is held by the Company. The Company maintains separate accounts for each participant to reflect deferred contribution amounts and the related gains or losses on such deferred amounts. A participant’s account is notionally invested in one or more investment funds and the value of the account is determined with respect to such investment allocations. The related liability is recorded as deferred compensation and included in other long-term obligations in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.
The Company maintains life insurance policies in connection with the Deferred Comp Plan discussed above. The Company also maintains two life insurance policies in connection with separate deferred compensation arrangements with two former executives. The cash surrender value of the policies is recorded in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets and is based on quotes obtained from insurance companies as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.
In connection with the acquisition of Fitlosophy in fiscal 2019, the Company may pay up to an additional $10,500,000 of contingent earn-out consideration, in cash, if net sales of certain products meet or exceed five different thresholds during the period from the acquisition date through March 31, 2023. The estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation discounted to a present value which is accreted over the earn-out period. The contingent consideration liability is included in accrued other expenses in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.

To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the FASB established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The Company’s recurring assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets and pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in its consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected at carrying value in the consolidated balance sheets and such amounts are a reasonable estimate of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The outstanding balance of the Company’s short-term borrowings and long-term debt approximated its fair value based on the current rates available to the Company for debt of the same maturity and represents Level 2 financial instruments.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s nonfinancial assets which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and certain other assets. These assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that an impairment may exist. In making the assessment of impairment, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to future net cash flows estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
As discussed in Note 2, a subsidiary of the Company acquired substantially all of the business and net assets of Fitlosophy on June 1, 2018 and determined that the aggregate fair value of acquired intangible assets, consisting of tradenames, was $2,032,000. The Company estimated the fair value of the aforementioned acquired intangible assets using discounted cash flow techniques which included an estimate of future cash flows discounted to present value with an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate (Level 3). The Company determined that the aggregate fair value of the acquired inventory in the Fitlosophy acquisition was $452,000, which was estimated as the selling price less costs of disposal (Level 2). The Company estimated the fair value of the Fitlosophy contingent earn-out consideration of $1,600,000 using a Monte Carlo simulation discounted to a present value (Level 3).
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, or sooner if events or circumstances indicate a condition of impairment may exist. Impairment testing is conducted through valuation methods that are based on assumptions for matters such as interest and discount rates, growth projections and other future business conditions (Level 3). These valuation methods require a significant degree of management judgment concerning the use of internal and external data. In the event these methods indicate that fair value is less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation models. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,390,000 due to impairment of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Fitlosophy. See Note 2 and 6 for further discussion.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Management assesses all available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated in fiscal 2019 was the cumulative U.S. pretax loss incurred over the then most recent three-year period. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for future taxable income. On the basis of that evaluation, as of December 31, 2018, a full valuation allowance was recorded to fully offset the U.S. net deferred tax assets, as they more likely than not will not be realized. Management updated this assessment as of June 30, 2019, and concluded that the full valuation allowance for U.S. net deferred tax assets is still required.
The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that such position will be sustained on audit, based solely on the technical merits of the position.
The income tax provision for interim periods is comprised of tax on ordinary income (loss) provided at the most recent estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the tax effect of discrete items. Management estimates the annual effective tax rate quarterly based on the forecasted pretax income (loss) results of its U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Items unrelated to current year ordinary income (loss) are recognized entirely in the period identified as a discrete item of tax.  These discrete items generally relate to changes in tax laws, adjustments to the actual liability determined upon filing tax returns, and adjustments to previously recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement," which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing, modifying and adding disclosures related to fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but it does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefits Plans" ("ASU 2018-14"), which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing and adding disclosures related to defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented and is effective for the Company in its fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but it does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 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"). ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Accordingly, the updated guidance requires an entity to determine the stage of a project that the implementation activity relates to and the nature of the associated costs in order to determine whether those costs should be expensed as incurred or capitalized. Capitalized implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but it does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2018-02"). ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. The amount of the reclassification is calculated based on the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts at the date of the enactment of the Tax Act related to items that remained in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at that time. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected not to reclassify any stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings.

Basis of Presentation
CSS Industries, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “CSS” or the “Company”) has prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements 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. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to a particular fiscal year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, “fiscal 2020” refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Business
Nature of Business
CSS is a creative consumer products company, focused on the craft, gift and seasonal categories. For these design-driven categories, the Company engages in the creative development, manufacture, procurement, distribution and sale of our products with an omni-channel approach focused primarily on mass market retailers.
Craft The craft category includes sewing patterns, ribbons and trims, buttons, knitting needles, needle arts and kids crafts. These products are sold to mass market, specialty, and online retailers, and are generally ordered on a replenishment basis throughout the year.
Gift The gift category includes products designed to celebrate certain life events or special occasions, such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or the birth of a child. Products include ribbons and bows, floral accessories, infant products, journals, gift card holders, all occasion boxed greeting cards, memory books, scrapbooks, stationery, and other items that commemorate life's celebrations. Products in this category are primarily sold into mass, specialty, and online retailers, floral and packaging wholesalers and distributors, and are generally ordered on a replenishment basis throughout the year.
Seasonal The seasonal category includes holiday gift packaging items such as ribbon, bows, greeting cards, bags, tags and gift card holders, in addition to specific holiday-themed decorations, accessories, and activities, such as Easter egg dyes and novelties and Valentine's Day classroom exchange cards. These products are sold to mass market retailers, and production forecasts for these products are generally known well in advance of shipment.
CSS’ product breadth provides its retail customers the opportunity to use a single vendor for much of their craft, gift and seasonal product requirements. A substantial portion of CSS’ products are manufactured and packaged in the United States and warehoused and distributed from facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with the remainder sourced from foreign suppliers, primarily in Asia. The Company also has a manufacturing facility in India that produces certain craft products, including trims, braids and tassels, and also has a distribution facility in India. The Company’s products are sold to its customers by national and regional account sales managers, sales representatives, product specialists and by a network of independent manufacturers’ representatives. CSS maintains purchasing offices in Hong Kong and China to administer Asian sourcing opportunities.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The Company's foreign subsidiaries generally use the local currency as the functional currency. The Company translates all assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates and all income and expense accounts at average rates during the period. Translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions (denominated in currencies other than the local currency) are not material and are included in other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Such estimates pertain to revenue recognition, the valuation of inventory and accounts receivable, the assessment of the recoverability of other intangible and long-lived assets and resolution of litigation and other proceedings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Inventories
Inventories
The Company records inventory when title is transferred, which occurs upon receipt or prior to receipt dependent on supplier shipping terms. The Company adjusts unsaleable and slow-moving inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Substantially all of the Company’s inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or net realizable value. The remaining portion of the inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or net realizable value.

Leases
Leases
Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842 - Leases ("ASC 842") using the modified retrospective transition approach. See Note 5 for more information.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in operating lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The current and long-term components of operating lease liabilities are included in the current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are not material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the adoption date for existing leases and as of the commencement date for new leases in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU assets are subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued rent payments, lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company elected the package of transition practical expedients related to lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company made the following accounting policy elections for all asset classes: (1) the Company will not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset, (2) the Company will apply the short-term lease exemption by class of underlying asset, and, (3) the Company will apply the portfolio approach to the development of its discount rates for the leases to be recorded in accordance with ASC 842. The Company has chosen not to elect the hindsight practical expedient for its transition to ASC 842. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application.
Long-Lived Assets including Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Long-Lived Assets including Other Intangible Assets and Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company performs an annual impairment test of the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Additionally, the Company would perform its impairment testing at an interim date if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill or intangibles might be impaired.
Other indefinite lived intangible assets consist of tradenames which are required to be tested annually for impairment. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. To perform a qualitative assessment, an entity must identify and evaluate changes in economic, industry and entity-specific events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. If the result of the qualitative analysis indicates it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, a more detailed fair value calculation will need to be performed which is used to identify potential impairments and to measure the amount of impairment losses to be recognized, if any. The fair value of the Company’s tradenames is calculated using a “relief from royalty payments” methodology. This approach involves first estimating reasonable royalty rates for each trademark then applying these royalty rates to a net sales stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine the fair value. The royalty rate is estimated using both a market and income approach. The market approach relies on the existence of identifiable transactions in the marketplace involving the licensing of tradenames similar to those owned by the Company. The income approach uses a projected pretax profitability rate relevant to the licensed income stream. The Company believes the use of multiple valuation techniques results in a more accurate indicator of the fair value of each tradename. This fair value is then compared with the carrying value of each tradename to determine if impairment exists.
Long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment), except for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to future net cash flows estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of the Company's products is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive from its customers in exchange for those goods. The Company's revenue is recognized using the five-step model identified in ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." These steps are: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company's contracts with customers generally include one performance obligation under the revenue recognition standard. For most product sales, the performance obligation is the delivery of a specified product, and is satisfied at the point in time when control of the product has transferred to the customer, which takes place when title and risk of loss transfer in accordance with the applicable shipping terms, typically either at shipping point or at delivery to a specified destination. The Company has certain limited products, primarily sewing patterns, that are sold on consignment at mass market retailers. The Company recognizes revenue on these products as they are sold to end consumers as recorded at point-of-sale terminals, which is the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer.
Revenue is recognized based on the consideration specified in a contract with the customer, and is measured as the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring the goods. When applicable, the transaction price includes estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. Variable consideration consists of revenues that are subject to reductions to the transaction price for customer programs, which may include special pricing arrangements for specific customers, volume incentives and other promotions. The Company has significant historical experience with customer programs and estimates the expected consideration considering historical trends. The related reserves are included in accrued customer programs in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company adjusts its estimate of variable consideration at least quarterly or when facts and circumstances used in the estimation process may change. In limited cases, the Company may provide the right to return product to certain customers. The Company also records estimated reductions to revenue, based primarily on known claims, for customer returns and chargebacks that may arise as a result of shipping errors, product damaged in transit or for other reasons that become known subsequent to recognizing the revenue. These provisions are recorded in the period that the related sale is recognized and are reflected as a reduction from gross sales. The related reserves are included as a reduction of accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. If the amount of actual customer returns and chargebacks were to increase or decrease from the estimated amount, revisions to the estimated reserve would be recorded.
The Company treats shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the product. Costs related to shipping of product are recorded as incurred and classified in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Payment terms with customers vary by customer, but generally range from 30 to 90 days. Certain seasonal revenues have extended payment terms in accordance with general industry practice. Since the term between invoicing and expected payment is less than one year, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a financing component.
Sales commissions are earned and recognized as expense as the related revenue is recognized at a point in time. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue and credited directly to obligations to the appropriate governmental agencies.
The Company operates as a single reporting segment, engaged in the creative development, manufacture, procurement, distribution, and sale of craft, gift and seasonal products, primarily to mass market retailers in the United States.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement," which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing, modifying and adding disclosures related to fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but it does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefits Plans" ("ASU 2018-14"), which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing and adding disclosures related to defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented and is effective for the Company in its fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but it does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 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"). ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Accordingly, the updated guidance requires an entity to determine the stage of a project that the implementation activity relates to and the nature of the associated costs in order to determine whether those costs should be expensed as incurred or capitalized. Capitalized implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but it does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2018-02"). ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. The amount of the reclassification is calculated based on the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts at the date of the enactment of the Tax Act related to items that remained in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at that time. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected not to reclassify any stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings.
