Elevated interest rates have led to higher borrowing costs and an increased overall cost of capital. In response to the historically high inflationary environment, we took pricing actions to mitigate the impacts on the business in prior fiscal years. Although the federal funds rate was reduced in re…
In fiscal years 2025 and 2026, we experienced an elevated amount of inventory write-offs, due, in part, to expiration of certain inventory held at our international locations stemming from supply chain and distribution challenges in fiscal year 2024. Further, in fiscal year 2025, we experienced nega…
With a change in administration in fiscal year 2025, there has been an economic policy shift towards increasing tariffs, which in turn has led and could lead to further retaliatory tariffs. These have increased, and may continue to increase our costs on materials imported into the U.S. and have also…
Within the Food Safety industry, the end market generally continues to experience a lower level of food production, largely due to the cumulative effect of the significant recent inflation, particularly in food prices.

Interest rates have risen sharply, particularly in fiscal year 2023, as a way to combat inflation. This increased our borrowing costs and raised the overall cost of capital. Although the federal funds rate was reduced in 2024 and we have refinanced our Term Loan and revolving line of credit, the ove…
Beginning in the first half of fiscal year 2024, we implemented a new enterprise resource planning system and exited our transition service agreements with 3M, which led to certain shipment delays and an elevated backlog of open orders, specifically in the Food Safety segment. At the conclusion of f…

Market risk (Item 7A)
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-K · 2026-07-30
We have exposure to market risks related to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates as follows:
We have foreign currency exposures related to buying, selling, and financing in currencies other than the functional currencies of our operations. We use derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forwards, to economically hedge foreign exchange rate risk associated with intercompany receivabl…
We are exposed to foreign currency risk due to the translation of the results of certain international operations into U.S. dollars as a part of our consolidation process. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can therefore create volatility in the results of operations and may adversely a…
The Company's primary foreign currency exposures are to the euro, British pound sterling ("GBP"), and Mexican peso. A hypothetical 10% depreciation in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar as of May 31, 2026 would result in an approximate decrease in reported revenue of $44.5 m…
As of May 31, 2026, we had no outstanding foreign currency hedging instruments.

We have interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk exposure. Our primary interest rate risk is due to potential fluctuations of interest rates for our variable rate borrowings.
Foreign exchange risk exposure arises because we market and sell our products throughout the world. Revenues in certain foreign countries as well as certain expenses related to those revenues are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As such, our operating results are exposed to chang…
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. We use forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated receivables and payables.
Interest Rate Risk. The Company utilizes an interest rate swap contract to create fixed interest payments on portions of its variable rate debt instrument in order to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of May 31, 2025 and when including our interest rate swap, approximately 38.9% …

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
