Interim Financial Statements
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes presented have been prepared by the Company, are unaudited, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position at July 3, 2021, its results of operations, comprehensive income, and stockholders' equity for the three- and six-month periods ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or for any other interim period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented as of January 2, 2021 has been derived from the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021, filed with the SEC.
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements or in the application of accounting policies, if business conditions were different, or if the Company were to use different estimates and assumptions, it is possible that materially different amounts could be reported in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021 describes the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Warranty Obligations
The Company's contracts covering the sale of its products include warranty provisions that provide assurance to its customers that the products will comply with agreed-upon specifications during a defined period of time. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time of sale based on historical occurrence rates and repair costs, as well as knowledge of any specific warranty problems that indicate projected warranty costs may vary from historical patterns. The Company negotiates the terms regarding warranty coverage and length of warranty depending on the products and applications.
The Company's liability for warranties is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition
Most of the Company’s revenue relates to products and services that require minimal customization and is recognized at a point in time for each performance obligation under the contract when the customer obtains control of the goods or service. The remaining portion of the Company’s revenue is recognized on an over time basis based on an input method that compares the costs incurred to date to the total expected costs required to satisfy the performance obligation. Contracts are accounted for on an over time basis when they include products which have no alternative use and an enforceable right to payment over time. Most of the contracts recognized on an over time basis are for large capital projects. These projects are highly customized for the customer and, as a result, would include a significant cost to rework in the event of cancellation.

Contract Liabilities $ 52,031 $ 39,269
Contract assets represent unbilled revenue associated with revenue recognized on contracts accounted for on an over time basis, which will be billed in future periods based on the contract terms. Contract liabilities consist of customer deposits, advanced billings, and deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Contract liabilities will be recognized as revenue in future periods once the revenue recognition criteria are met. The majority of the contract liabilities relate to advance payments on contracts accounted for at a point in time. These advance payments will be recognized as revenue when the Company's performance obligations have been satisfied, which typically occurs when the product has shipped and control of the asset has transferred to the customer.
The Company recognized revenue of $ 10,070,000 in the second quarter of 2021, $ 7,158,000 in the second quarter of 2020, $ 27,210,000 in the first six months of 2021 and $ 26,866,000 in the first six months of 2020 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of 2021 and 2020. The majority of the Company's contracts for capital equipment have an original expected duration of one year or less. Certain capital contracts require long lead times and could take up to 24 months to complete. For contracts with an original expected duration of over one year, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of July 3, 2021 was $ 12,994,000 . The Company will recognize revenue for these performance obligations as they are satisfied, approximately 39 % of which is expected to occur within the next twelve months and the remaining 61 % within the following twelve months .

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2019-12, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and by clarifying and amending existing guidance, including the recognition of franchise tax, the treatment of a step up in the tax basis of goodwill, and the timing for recognition of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the interim period annual effective tax rate computation. This new guidance is effective in fiscal 2021, and the transition requirements are primarily prospective. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively at the beginning of fiscal 2021 and its adoption did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), if certain criteria are met. Generally, contract modifications related to reference rate reform may be considered an event that does not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination at the modification date. The guidance in this ASU is applicable to the Company's existing contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR and may be adopted prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $ 14,510,000 in the first six months of 2021 and $ 9,033,000 in the first six months of 2020. The effective tax rate of 27 % in the first six months of 2021 was higher than the Company's statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the distribution of the Company's worldwide earnings, nondeductible expenses, state taxes, and tax expense associated with the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provisions. These increases in tax expense were offset in part by a decrease in tax related to the net excess income tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements. The effective tax rate of 27 % in the first six months of 2020 was higher than the Company's statutory rate of 21% primarily due to nondeductible expenses, the distribution of the Company's worldwide earnings, state taxes, and tax expense associated with GILTI provisions.

Revolving Credit Facility
The Company entered into an unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility, dated as of March 1, 2017 (as amended and restated to date, the Credit Agreement). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company has a borrowing capacity of $ 400,000,000 , with an uncommitted, unsecured incremental borrowing facility of $ 150,000,000 , with a maturity date of December 14, 2023. Interest on borrowings outstanding accrues and is payable in arrears calculated at one of the following rates selected by the Company: (i) the Base Rate, plus an applicable margin of 0 % to 1.25 %, or (ii) LIBOR (with a zero percent floor), as defined, plus an applicable margin of 1 % to 2.25 %. The Base Rate is calculated as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 %, (b) the prime rate as published by Citizens Bank, N.A. (Citizens Bank) and (c) thirty-day U.S. dollar LIBOR (USD LIBOR), as defined, plus 0.50 %. The applicable margin is determined based upon the ratio of the Company's total debt, net of unrestricted cash up to $ 30,000,000 and certain debt obligations, to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization as defined in the Credit Agreement.
The obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default, which includes customary events of default under such financing arrangements. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.00, or, if the Company elects, for the quarter during which a material acquisition occurs and for the three fiscal quarters thereafter, 4.00 to 1.00, and limitations on making certain restricted payments (including dividends and stock repurchases).
Loans under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company.
In the first six months of 2021, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $ 88,888,000 under the Credit Agreement, including $ 85,888,000 of euro-denominated borrowings, which was primarily used to fund an acquisition that closed in the third quarter of 2021. See Note 11 , Subsequent Event, for further details. As of July 3, 2021, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $ 258,722,000 , which included $ 113,722,000 of euro-denominated borrowings. As of July 3, 2021, the Company had $ 140,546,000 of borrowing capacity available under its Credit Agreement, which was calculated by translating its foreign-denominated borrowings using borrowing date foreign exchange rates.
The weighted average interest rate for the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was 1.48 % as of July 3, 2021.

Senior Promissory Notes
In 2018, the Company entered into an uncommitted, unsecured Multi-Currency Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (Note Purchase Agreement). Simultaneous with the execution of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued senior promissory notes (Initial Notes) in an aggregate principal amount of $ 10,000,000 , with a per annum interest rate of 4.90 % payable semiannually, and a maturity date of December 14, 2028. The Company is required to prepay a portion of the principal of the Initial Notes beginning on December 14, 2023 and each year thereafter, and may optionally prepay the principal on the Initial Notes, together with any prepayment premium, at any time (in a minimum amount of $ 1,000,000 , or the foreign currency equivalent thereof, if applicable) in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement. The obligations of the Initial Notes may be accelerated upon an event of default as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, which includes customary events of default under such financing arrangements.
In accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company may also issue additional senior promissory notes (together with the Initial Notes, the Senior Promissory Notes) up to an additional $ 115,000,000 until the earlier of December 14, 2021 or the thirtieth day after written notice to terminate the issuance and sale of additional notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. The Senior Promissory Notes are pari passu with the Company’s indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, and any other senior debt of the Company, subject to certain specified exceptions, and participate in a sharing agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement. The Senior Promissory Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
Debt Compliance
As of July 3, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants related to its debt obligations.
Finance Leases
The Company's finance leases primarily relate to contracts for vehicles.
Other Borrowings
Other borrowings include a sale-leaseback financing arrangement for a manufacturing facility in Germany. Under this arrangement, the quarterly lease payment includes principal, interest, and a payment to the landlord toward a loan receivable. The interest rate on the outstanding obligation is 1.79 %. The secured loan receivable, which is included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, was $ 1,339,000 at July 3, 2021. The lease arrangement provides for a fixed price purchase option, net of the projected loan receivable, of $ 1,576,000 at the end of the lease term in August 2022. If the Company does not exercise the purchase option for the facility, the Company will receive cash from the landlord to settle the loan receivable. As of July 3, 2021, $ 3,573,000 was outstanding under this obligation.
5. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $ 2,527,000 in the second quarter of 2021, $ 1,877,000 in the second quarter of 2020, $ 4,026,000 in the first six months of 2021, and $ 3,516,000 in the first six months of 2020 within selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income. The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted to employees and directors based on the grant date estimate of fair value for those awards. The fair value of RSUs is based on the grant date price of the Company's common stock, reduced by the present value of estimated dividends foregone during the requisite service period. For time-based RSUs, compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for the entire award based on the grant date fair value, and net of actual forfeitures recorded when they occur. For performance-based RSUs, compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award based on the grant date fair value, net of actual forfeitures recorded when they occur, and remeasured each reporting period until the total number of RSUs to be issued is known. Unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based compensation totaled approximately $ 11,872,000 at July 3, 2021 and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.
On May 19, 2021, the Company granted an aggregate of 5,045 RSUs to its non-employee directors with a grant date fair value of $ 850,000 . Half of these RSUs vested on June 1, 2021 and the remaining RSUs will vest ratably on the last day of the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2021.

7. Derivatives
Interest Rate Swap Agreement
In 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (2018 Swap Agreement) with Citizens Bank to hedge its exposure to movements in USD LIBOR on its U.S. dollar-denominated debt. The 2018 Swap Agreement has a $ 15,000,000 notional value and expires on June 30, 2023. On a quarterly basis, the Company receives three-month USD LIBOR, which is subject to a zero percent floor, and pays a fixed rate of interest of 3.15 % plus an applicable margin as defined in the Credit Agreement.
The Company designated its 2018 Swap Agreement as a cash flow hedge and structured it to be 100 % effective. Unrealized gains and losses related to the fair value of the 2018 Swap Agreement are recorded to AOCI, net of tax. In the event of early termination, the Company will receive from or pay to the counterparty the fair value of the 2018 Swap Agreement, and the unrealized gain or loss outstanding will be recognized in earnings.
The counterparty to the 2018 Swap Agreement could demand an early termination of that agreement if the Company were to be in default under the Credit Agreement, or any agreement that amends or replaces the Credit Agreement in which the counterparty is a member, and if it were to be unable to cure the default. See Note 4 , Long-Term Obligations, for further details.

Forward Currency-Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward currency-exchange contracts that generally have maturities of twelve months or less to hedge exposures resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Such exposures result from assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the Company's subsidiaries.
Forward currency-exchange contracts that hedge forecasted accounts receivable or accounts payable are designated as cash flow hedges and unrecognized gains and losses are recorded to AOCI, net of tax. Deferred gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income in the period in which the underlying transaction occurs. The fair values of forward currency-exchange contracts that are designated as fair value hedges and forward currency-exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges are recognized currently in earnings.
Gains and losses reported within SG&A expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income associated with the Company's forward currency-exchange contracts that were not designated as hedges were not material for the three-and six-month periods ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020.

8. Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurement is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
• Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company's own assumptions.
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Fair Value as of July 3, 2021
(In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets:

Forward currency-exchange contracts $ — $ 7 $ — $ 7
(a) Included in accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company uses the market approach technique to value its financial assets and liabilities, and there were no changes in valuation techniques during the first six months of 2021. Banker's acceptance drafts are carried at face value, which approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of the negotiable instrument. The fair values of the forward currency-exchange contracts are based on quoted forward foreign exchange rates at the reporting date. The fair value of the 2018 Swap Agreement is based on USD LIBOR yield curves at the reporting date. The forward currency-exchange contracts and the 2018 Swap Agreement are hedges of either recorded assets or liabilities or anticipated transactions and represent the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay upon liquidation of the contracts. Changes in values of the underlying hedged assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions are not reflected in the table above.
The carrying value and fair value of debt obligations, excluding lease obligations and other borrowings, are as follows:
July 3, 2021 January 2, 2021
Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value
(In thousands)
Debt Obligations:

$ 268,722 $ 269,817 $ 227,963 $ 229,120
The carrying value of the Company's revolving credit facility approximates the fair value as the obligation bears variable rates of interest, which adjust frequently, based on prevailing market rates. The fair value of the senior promissory notes is primarily calculated based on quoted market rates plus an applicable margin available to the Company at the respective period ends, which represent Level 2 measurements.

Right of Recourse
In the ordinary course of business, the Company's Chinese subsidiaries may receive banker's acceptance drafts from customers as payment for their trade accounts receivable. The drafts are non-interest bearing obligations of the issuing bank and mature within six months of the origination date. The Company's Chinese subsidiaries may use these banker's acceptance drafts prior to the scheduled maturity date to settle outstanding accounts payable with vendors. Banker's acceptance drafts transferred to vendors are subject to customary right of recourse provisions prior to their scheduled maturity dates. The Company had $ 9,723,000 at July 3, 2021 and $ 7,568,000 at January 2, 2021 of banker's acceptance drafts subject to recourse, which were transferred to vendors and had not reached their scheduled maturity dates. Historically, the banker's acceptance drafts have settled upon maturity without any claim of recourse against the Company.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Such litigation may include, but is not limited to, claims and counterclaims by and against the Company for breach of contract or warranty, canceled contracts, product liability, or bankruptcy-related claims. For legal proceedings in which a loss is probable and estimable, the Company accrues a loss based on the low end of the range of estimated loss when there is no better estimate within the range. If the Company were found to be liable for any of the claims or counterclaims against it, the Company would incur a charge against earnings for amounts in excess of legal accruals.
11. Subsequent Event
Acquisition
In the third quarter of 2021, Kadant Germany Holding GmbH, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired all partnership interests and shares in The Clouth Group of Companies (Clouth), for approximately 78,000,000 euros, or $ 92,000,000 , net of cash acquired and debt assumed. The majority of the Clouth companies were acquired on July 19, 2021 and the acquisition of the last legal entity occurred on August 10, 2021. The Company funded the purchase price with existing cash and borrowings of approximately $ 82,877,000 of euro-denominated funds under the Credit Agreement, of which $ 78,749,000 was borrowed in the second quarter of 2021. At July 3, 2021, $ 84,249,000 of the purchase price was held in escrow and was classified as restricted cash in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Clouth is a leading manufacturer of doctor blades and related equipment used in the production of paper, packaging, and tissue and will be included within the Company's Flow Control segment. The Company expects several synergies in connection with this acquisition, including deepening the Company's presence in the growing ceramic blade market and expansion of sales at its existing businesses by leveraging Clouth's complementary global geographic footprint. Clouth has two manufacturing facilities in Germany and one in Poland and generated revenue of approximately 41,000,000 euros in 2020. The excess of the purchase price for the acquisition of Clouth over the net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition is not presented as the preliminary valuation of Clouth has not been completed.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The historical consolidated financial information of the Company and Clouth has been adjusted in the pro forma information above to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition and related financing arrangements, are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company, and are factually supportable.
Pro forma results include the following non-recurring pro forma adjustments that were directly attributable to the acquisition:
• Estimated pre-tax charge to cost of revenue of $ 1,753,000 in the three months ended June 27, 2020 and $ 3,505,000 in the six months ended June 27, 2020, for the sale of inventory revalued at the date of acquisition.
• Estimated pre-tax charge to SG&A expenses of $ 239,000 in the three months ended June 27, 2020 and $ 1,673,000 in the six months ended June 27, 2020 and reversal of $ 239,000 in the three months ended July 3, 2021 and $ 1,236,000 in the six months ended July 3, 2021, for acquisition costs and intangible asset amortization related to acquired backlog.
• Estimated tax effects related to the pro forma adjustments.
These pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only, and they do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisition of Clouth occurred as of the beginning of 2020, or that may result in the future.
