Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
1. Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial
statements included herein have been prepared by RBC Bearings Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries,
the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The interim financial statements included with this report have been prepared on a consistent basis with the Company’s audited financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022. We
condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which
we prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). As used in this report, the terms “we,”
“us,” “our,” “RBC” and the “Company” mean RBC Bearings Incorporated and its subsidiaries,
unless the context indicates another meaning.
These statements reflect all
adjustments, accruals, and estimates, consisting only of items of a normal recurring nature, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
The results of operations for the three- and six-month
periods ended October 1, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire fiscal year ending April 1, 2023.
The three- and six-month periods ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 each included 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively. The amounts
shown are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant
accounting policies are detailed in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A
for the year ended April 2, 2022.
Significant changes to our
accounting policies as a result of adopting new accounting standards are discussed below.
Recent Accounting Standards Adopted
Not applicable.
Recent Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted
In
March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on
Financial Reporting. The objective of the standard is to address operational challenges likely to arise in accounting for
contract modifications and hedge accounting due to reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and
exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference
rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The standard update is effective for all entities as of March 12,
2020 through December 31, 2022. This guidance is available immediately and may be implemented in any period prior to the guidance
expiration on December 31, 2022. The Company will adopt this ASU during the third quarter of our fiscal year. The impact of the
adoption of this standard update is dependent on the Company's contracts modifications as a result of reference rate reform;
however, the Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments associated with hedging relationships to have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Other new pronouncements issued but not effective
until after April 1, 2023 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations
represent the transaction price of orders meeting the definition of a contract for which work has not been performed or has been partially
performed and excludes unexercised contract options. The duration of the majority of our contracts, as defined by ASC Topic 606, is less
than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, which allows companies to exclude remaining performance obligations
with an original expected duration of one year or less. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance
obligations for such contracts with a duration of more than one year was approximately $305,457 at October 1, 2022. The Company expects
to recognize revenue on approximately 63% and 91% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively,
with the remainder recognized thereafter.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition,
invoicing and cash collections affect accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract
liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on an individual
contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Contract Assets (Unbilled
Receivables) - Pursuant to the over-time revenue recognition model, revenue may be recognized prior to the customer being invoiced.
An unbilled receivable is recorded to reflect revenue that is recognized when (1) the cost-to-cost method is applied and (2) such revenue
exceeds the amount invoiced to the customer.
As of October 1, 2022 and
April 2, 2022, current contract assets were $4,707 and $3,882, respectively, and included within prepaid expenses and other current assets
on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in contract assets was primarily due to the recognition of revenue related to the satisfaction
or partial satisfaction of performance obligations prior to billing partially offset by amounts billed to customers during the period.
As of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, the Company did not have any contract assets classified as noncurrent on the consolidated balance
sheets.
Contract Liabilities (Deferred
Revenue) - The Company may receive a customer advance or deposit, or have an unconditional right to receive a customer advance, prior
to revenue being recognized. Since the performance obligations related to such advances may not have been satisfied, a contract liability
is established. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as the timing of the transfer of the related goods
or services is at the discretion of the customer.
As of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, current
contract liabilities were $22,414 and $19,556, respectively, and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheets. The increase in current contract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments received and the reclassification
of a portion of advance payments received from the noncurrent portion of contract liabilities partially offset by revenue recognized on
customer contracts. For the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recognized revenues of $3,606 and $7,474, respectively,
that were included in the contract liability balance as of April 2, 2022. For the three and six months ended October 2, 2021, the Company
recognized revenues of $2,129 and $6,779, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at April 3, 2021.
As of October 1, 2022 and
April 2, 2022, noncurrent contract liabilities were $9,295 and $10,401, respectively, and included within other noncurrent liabilities
on the consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in noncurrent contract liabilities was primarily due to advance payments received offset
by the reclassification of a portion of advance payments received to the current portion of contract liabilities.
Variable Consideration
The amount of consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services is not generally subject to significant variations.
However, the Company does offer certain customers rebates, prompt payment discounts, end-user discounts, the right to return eligible
products, and/or other forms of variable consideration. The Company estimates this variable consideration using the expected value amount,
which is based on historical experience. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable
that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration
is resolved. The Company adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive
changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Accrued customer rebates were $38,829 and $35,234 at October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022,
respectively, and are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The components of comprehensive
income (loss) that relate to the Company are net income/(loss), foreign currency translation adjustments, and pension plan and postretirement
benefits.

5. Net Income/(Loss) Per Share Available to
Common Stockholders
Basic net income/(loss) per
share available to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net income/(loss)
per share available to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders by the sum of the
weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common
share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and the conversion of 5.00% Series
A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) to common shares. The MCPS was issued on September 24, 2021.
We exclude outstanding stock
options, stock awards and the MCPS from the calculations if the effect would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of the MCPS is calculated
using the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes that these securities were converted to shares of common stock at the later
of the September 24, 2021 issuance date or the beginning of the reporting period to the extent that the effect is dilutive. If the effect
is anti-dilutive, we calculate net income/(loss) per share available to common stockholders by adjusting net income/(loss) in the numerator
for the effect of the cumulative MCPS dividends for the respective period.
For the three- and six-month
periods ended October 1, 2022, the effect of assuming the conversion of the 4,600,000 shares of MCPS into shares of common stock was anti-dilutive,
and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. Accordingly, net income/(loss)
was reduced by cumulative MCPS dividends, as presented in our consolidated statement of operations, for purposes of calculating net income/(loss)
available to common stockholders.
For the three months ended
October 1, 2022, 90,796 employee stock options and 485 restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share
available to common stockholders. For the six months ended October 1, 2022, 110,692 employee stock options and 9,780 restricted shares
were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock
options and restricted shares would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended
October 2, 2021, no employee stock options or restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available
to common stockholders. For the six months ended October 2, 2021, 159,925 employee stock options and no restricted shares were excluded
from the calculation of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. The inclusion of these employee stock options would
have been anti-dilutive.
The table below reflects the
calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for each period presented as well as the computation of basic and diluted net income/(loss)
per share available to common stockholders.

6. Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the
price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value
into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that
are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset
or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities
are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
As a result of the occurrence
of triggering events such as purchase accounting for acquisitions, the Company does measure certain assets and liabilities based on Level
3 inputs.
Financial Instruments:
The Company’s financial
instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, short-term borrowings and long-term
debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued
expenses and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Long-term assets held on our balance sheet related to
benefit plan obligations are measured at fair value. Due to the nature of fair value calculations for variable-rate debt, the carrying
value of the Company’s long-term variable-rate debt is a reasonable estimate of its fair value. The fair value of the Company’s
long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $421,745 and $463,750 at October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, respectively.
The carrying value of this debt was $492,822 at October 1, 2022 and $492,396 at April 2, 2022. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate
debt was measured using Level 2 inputs. The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties
to its financial instruments.

10. Debt
Domestic Credit Facility
On November 1, 2021 RBC Bearings Incorporated,
our top holding company, and our Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. subsidiary (“RBCA”) entered into a Credit Agreement
(the “New Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer and the other lenders party thereto, and terminated the Company’s
prior Credit Agreement, which was entered into with Wells Fargo in 2015 (the “2015 Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement
provides the Company with (a) a $1,300,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), which was used to fund a portion
of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge and to pay related fees and expenses, and (b) a $500,000 revolving credit facility
(the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Facilities”). Debt issuance costs
associated with the New Credit Agreement totaled $14,947 and will be amortized over the life of the New Credit Agreement.
Amounts outstanding under the Facilities generally
bear interest at either, at the Company’s option, (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (i) Wells Fargo’s
prime lending rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00% or (b) the LIBOR
rate plus a specified margin, depending on the type of borrowing being made. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s consolidated
ratio of total net debt to consolidated EBITDA from time to time. Currently, the Company’s margin is 0.50% for base rate loans and
1.50% for LIBOR rate loans. The Facilities are subject to a “LIBOR” floor of 0.00% and contain “hard-wired” LIBOR
replacement provisions as set forth in the New Credit Agreement. As of October 1, 2022, the Company’s commitment fee rate is 0.20%
and the letter of credit fee rate was 1.50%.
The Term Loan Facility will mature on November
2, 2026 and amortizes in quarterly installments with the balance payable on the Maturity Date. The Company can elect to prepay some or
all of the outstanding balance from time to time without penalty, which will offset future quarterly amortization installments. The required
future principal payments on the Term Loan Facility are $0 for the remainder of fiscal 2023, $0 for fiscal 2024, and $0 for fiscal 2025,
due to prepayments previously made, and approximately $87,500 for fiscal 2026, and $942,500 for fiscal 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility
will mature on November 2, 2026, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will be payable.
The New Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with various
covenants, including the following financial covenants: (a) a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio of 5.50:1.00, which maximum Total Net Leverage
Ratio shall decrease during certain subsequent test periods as set forth in the New Credit Agreement (provided that, no more than once
during the term of the Facilities, such maximum ratio applicable at such time may be increased by the Company by 0.50:1.00 for a period
of 12 months after the consummation of a material acquisition), and (b) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.00:1.00. As of October
1, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
The New Credit Agreement allows the Company to, among other things,
make distributions to stockholders, repurchase its stock, incur other debt or liens, or acquire or dispose of assets provided that the
Company complies with certain requirements and limitations of the New Credit Agreement.
The Company’s domestic
subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the New Credit Agreement, and the Company’s obligations and the
domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and its domestic
subsidiaries.
As of October 1, 2022, $1,030,000
was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and approximately $3,675 of the Revolving Credit Facility was being utilized to provide letters
of credit to secure the Company’s obligations relating to certain insurance programs, and the Company had the ability to borrow
up to an additional $496,325 under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Senior Notes
On October 7, 2021, RBCA issued
$500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance
of the Senior Notes were approximately $491,992 after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
On November 1, 2021, the Company used the proceeds to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition of Dodge.
The Senior Notes were issued
pursuant to an indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains
covenants limiting the ability of the Company to (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness, (ii) declare or pay dividends,
redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders, (iii) make investments, (iv) create liens or use assets as security in other
transactions, (v) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of its assets, (vi) enter into transactions
with affiliates, and (vii) sell or transfer certain assets. These covenants contain various exceptions, limitations and qualifications.
At any time that the Senior Notes are rated investment grade, certain of these covenants will be suspended.
The Senior Notes are guaranteed
jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RBC Bearings and certain of RBCA’s existing and future wholly owned domestic
subsidiaries that also guarantee the New Credit Agreement.
Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 4.375% and is payable
semi–annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The Senior Notes will mature
on October 15, 2029. The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after October 15, 2024 at the redemption
prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may also
redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings completed before October 15, 2024, at a redemption
price equal to 104.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In addition, at any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of
the principal amount, plus a “make–whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the
redemption date. If the Company sells certain of its assets or experiences specific kinds of changes in control, the Company must offer
to purchase the Senior Notes.
Foreign Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
On August 15, 2019, one of
our foreign subsidiaries, Schaublin SA (“Schaublin”), entered into two separate credit agreements (the “Foreign Credit
Agreements”) with Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. to (i) finance the acquisition of Swiss Tool, and (ii) provide future working
capital. The Foreign Credit Agreements provided Schaublin with a CHF 15,000 (approximately $15,383) term loan (the “Foreign Term
Loan”), which was extinguished in February 2022 and a CHF 15,000 (approximately $15,383) revolving credit facility (the “Foreign
Revolver”), which was terminated as of October 1, 2022.

11. Income Taxes
The Company files income tax
returns in numerous U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, with returns subject to examination for varying periods, but generally back to and
including the year ending March 30, 2019, although certain tax credits generated in earlier years are open under statute from March 29,
2008. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years ending before March 30,
2019.
The effective income tax rates
for the three-month periods ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, were 18.1% and 223.5%, respectively. In addition to discrete items,
the effective income tax rates for these periods are different from the U.S. statutory rates due to the foreign-derived intangible income
provision and U.S. credit for increasing research activities, which decrease the rate, and state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and
nondeductible stock-based compensation, that increase the rate.
The effective income tax rate
for the three-month period ended October 1, 2022 of 18.1% includes $2,372 of tax benefits associated with share-based compensation and
$174 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended October 1, 2022 would have
been 22.9%. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended October 2, 2021 of 223.5% includes $91 of tax benefits associated
with share-based compensation offset by the establishment of a $1,853 valuation allowance for capital loss carryforwards we do not expect
to recognize and $100 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended October 2,
2021 would have been 53.5%. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that some of its unrecognized tax positions may be effectively
settled within the next 12 months due to the closing of audits and the statute of limitations expiring in varying jurisdictions. The decrease
in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions, pertaining primarily to federal and state credits and state tax, is estimated to be
approximately $3,068.
Income tax expense for the
six-month period ended October 1, 2022 was $20,165 compared to $7,868 for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021. Our effective income
tax rate for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 was 19.9% compared to 25.8% for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021. The
effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended October 1, 2022 of 19.9% includes $2,971 of tax benefits associated with share-based
compensation partially offset by $187 of other items. The effective income tax rate without these benefits and other items for the six-month
period ended October 1, 2022 would have been 23.0%. The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021 of 25.8%
includes $2,231 of tax benefits associated with share-based compensation offset by the establishment of a $1,853 valuation allowance for
capital loss carryforwards we don’t expect to recognize and $60 of other items. The effective income tax rate without these benefits
and other items for the six-month period ended October 2, 2021 would have been 27.2%.

13. Dodge Acquisition
On November 1, 2021, the Company
completed the acquisition of Dodge for approximately $2,908,241, net of cash acquired and subject to certain adjustments. The purchase
price was paid with (i) $1,285,761 of borrowing under the Term Loan Facility, net of issuance costs, (ii) $1,050,811 of net proceeds from
common stock and MCPS offerings, (iii) $494,200 of net proceeds from the Senior Notes offering, and (iv) approximately $77,469 of cash
on hand. Since the close of the transaction, purchase price adjustments totaling $22,966 have been recorded.
In the acquisition, the Company
purchased 100% of the capital stock of certain entities, including Dodge Mechanical Power Transmission Company Inc. (now known as Dodge
Industrial, Inc.), and certain other assets relating to ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd.’s mechanical power transmission business.
With offices in Greenville,
South Carolina, Dodge is a leading manufacturer of mounted bearings, gearings and mechanical products with market-leading brand recognition.
Dodge manufactures a complete line of mounted bearings, enclosed gearing and power transmission components across a diverse set of industrial
end markets. Dodge primarily operates across the construction and mining aftermarket, and the food & beverage, warehousing and general
machinery verticals, with sales predominately in the Americas.
Acquisition costs incurred
for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022 totaled $22,598 and were recorded as period expenses and included within other, net within the
consolidated statements of operations. Remaining acquisition-related costs incurred for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022
were immaterial. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. The purchase price allocation will be completed during
the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as we finalize the impact from taxes and other minor items. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed
were recorded based on their fair values at the date of acquisition as follows:

The goodwill associated with
this acquisition is the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of the acquired business with the Company's operations,
and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. $44,941 of the acquired goodwill is
deductible for tax purposes.
The fair value of the identifiable
intangible assets of $1,385,082, consisting primarily of customer relationships and trade names, was determined using the income approach.
Specifically, a multi-period, excess earnings method was utilized for the customer relationships and the relief-from-royalty method was
utilized for the trade name. The fair value of the customer relationships, $1,185,000, is being amortized based on the economic pattern
of benefit over a period of 24 years; the fair value of the trade names, $200,000, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
26-year term. These amortization periods represent the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The results of operations
for Dodge have been included in the Company’s financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on November
1, 2021. Dodge contributed $192,267 of revenue and $38,152 of operating income for the three months ended October 1, 2022. Dodge contributed
$369,740 of revenue and $68,646 of operating income for the six months ended October 1, 2022.
Upon closing, the Company
entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") with ABB, pursuant to which ABB agreed to support the information technology,
human resources and benefits, finance, tax and treasury functions of the Dodge business for six to 12 months. Substantially all services
terminated on November 1, 2022. Costs associated with the TSA were $3,999 and $7,704 for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022,
respectively, and are included in other, net on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Since the purchase of the Dodge
business on November 1, 2021, costs associated with the TSA were $15,707 through October 1, 2022.
14. Subsequent Events
On October 28, 2022, the Company
entered into a three-year USD-denominated interest rate swap (“the Swap”) from a third-party financial counterparty under
the New Credit Agreement (see Note 10). The Swap was executed to protect the Company from interest rate volatility on our variable-rate
Term Loan Facility. The Swap has an effective date of December 30, 2022 and is comprised of a $600,000 notional with a maturity of three
years. RBC will receive a variable rate based on one-month USD-SOFR CME Term and will pay a fixed rate of 4.455%. The notional on the
Swap will amortize as follows:
Year 1: $600,000
Year 2: $400,000
Year 3: $100,000
