**<u>PART I</u>**

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

**<u>Overview</u>**

LSI Industries Inc. (LSI) is a leading producer of non-residential lighting and retail display solutions. Non-residential lighting consists of American-made fixtures and services for both indoor and outdoor applications satisfying the specific performance requirements of our customers. Retail display solutions consist of multiple custom products and services which enhance our customer's brand image and improve the customer shopping experience. We offer customers in target vertical markets a package solution set of both lighting and display solutions, providing value for the customer by working with one partner to manage their regional and national location programs, versus multiple suppliers.

Our business is organized as follows: the Lighting Segment, which represented 43% of our fiscal 2025 net sales and the Display Solutions Segment, which represented 57% of our fiscal 2025 net sales. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 48 of this Form 10-K for additional information on business segments. Net sales by segment are as follows (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
| Lighting Segment | $248357 | $262413 |
| Display Solutions Segment | 325020 | 207225 |
| Total Net Sales | $573377 | $469638 |

---

**<u>Lighting Segment</u>**

Our Lighting Segment manufactures, markets, and sells outdoor and indoor lighting fixture and controls solutions in several vertical markets such as but not limited to the following: refueling and convenience store, parking lot and garage, quick-service restaurant, retail, grocery and pharmacy, automotive dealership, sports court and field, and warehouse. We service these markets through multiple channels: project business sold through electrical distributors and agents and shipped directly to the customer; standard products sold to and stocked by distributors; and direct to end-use customers. Our products are designed and manufactured to provide maximum customer value and meet the high-quality, competitively priced product requirements of the markets we serve. Focusing on key vertical applications allows us to deliver unique product solutions, which in turn provide differentiated value to our customers.

Our lighting fixtures, poles and accessories are produced in a variety of designs, aesthetics, and finishes. Application of our lighting fixtures vary to include surface, pole, and pendant mounted applications. Functional light distributions from our products varies depending upon application, providing application specific photometric outputs including, but not limited to, interior and exterior downlighting, wall-wash lighting, canopy lighting, floodlighting, emergency exit lighting, industrial lighting, area and parking structure lighting and security lighting. To further energy efficiency gains from our luminaires, we offer a suite of lighting control options, including sensors, photocontrols, dimming, motion detection and circuit controllers in both analog and wireless technologies to further support the application of our luminaires and provide means to additional energy savings We design and certify to all applicable safety, photometric and performance standards including UL Solutions, Design Lights Consortium, International Dark-Sky Association, Norma Official Mexicana (NOM), and Institute for Printed Circuits (IPC). Utilizing LED light sources, our products are designed for energy efficiency, reliability, performance, and ease of installation and service while providing a high degree of overall aesthetic appeal. We focus on providing performance based, energy efficient lighting solutions implemented across all key vertical markets served.

**<u>Display Solutions Segment</u>**

We acquired Canada's Best Holdings (CBH), an Ontario Canada-based company in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. CBH is a leading provider of retail fixtures and custom store design solutions for grocery, quick service restaurant, c-store, banking, and specialty retail industries. We also acquired EMI Industries, LLC (EMI) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. EMI is a metal and millwork manufacturer of standard and customized fixtures, displays, and food equipment for the convenience store, grocery, and restaurant industries. Due to the similarity and complementary nature of the products manufactured by EMI and CBH with our other current product offerings, we consolidated these companies with our Display Solutions Segment. In addition to the products manufactured by EMI and CBH, the Display Solutions Segment also manufactures, sells and installs exterior and interior visual image and display elements, including printed graphics, structural graphics, digital signage, digital menu board systems, refrigerated displays, and custom display elements. The major products and services offered by our Display Solutions Segment include signage and canopy graphics, pump dispenser graphics, building fascia graphics, decals, interior signage and marketing graphics, aisle markers, wall mural graphics, and refrigerated food and beverage displays, check-out counters, and an array of merchandising displays and cabinetry specific to the needs of our customers. We also provide a variety of project management services to complement our display elements, such as installation management, site surveys, permitting, and content management which are offered to our customers to support our digital signage. Our professional services group manages and executes the implementation of large rollout programs. These programs provide our customers a variety of display solutions and visual image upgrades in the same markets served in the lighting segment, which include the following markets: refueling and convenience store, quick-service restaurant, retail, grocery and pharmacy, and automotive dealerships. It is our belief that our expertise with the products and services we offer in the markets we serve represents a significant competitive advantage. We work with our customers and design firms to establish and implement cost-effective corporate visual image programs to advance our customers' brands and to improve the consumer experience. Increasingly, we have become the primary supplier of exterior and interior visual image and display elements for our customers.

------

**<u>Sales, Customers and Marketing</u>**

The products and services we offer are sold primarily throughout the United States, but also in Canada, Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean (approximately 3% of consolidated net sales are outside the United States). Our lighting product sales originate from two primary revenue streams. The first revenue stream is from project-based business, quoting and receiving orders as a preferred vendor for product sales to multiple end-users, including customer-owned as well as franchised and licensed dealer operations. The second revenue stream is from selling standard products to stocking distributors, who subsequently provide products to electrical contractors and end users for a variety of lighting applications. Our lighting products are primarily sold through manufacturer's sales representatives and to a lesser degree directly through our own sales force. Our display solution elements and related services, which in many instances are program-driven, are sold primarily through our direct sales force. This revenue stream is from more significant program initiatives that often represent multiple sites over a period of time. These customers are usually established and have a long-term relationship with LSI. These products and services are sold directly to the customer or a brand marketer acting as an intermediary.

Sales are developed through a wide variety of contacts such as, but not limited to, national retail marketers, branded product companies, and franchised and dealer operations. In addition, sales are also achieved through recommendations from local architects, engineers, electrical distributors, and contractors. The Company utilizes the latest technology to track sales leads and customer quotes with the goal of turning them into orders from our customers.

As the Company grows both organically and through acquisition, the products, services and technologies the Company offers its customers also grows. These offerings provide significant cross-selling opportunities between the segments that enable the Company to be a single-source provider to existing and new customers.

The Company markets its products and service capabilities to end users in multiple channels through a broad spectrum of marketing and promotional methods, including direct customer contact, trade shows, on-site and virtual training, print advertising in industry publications, product brochures and other literature, e-learning, the company's website, as well social media. Our marketing approach and means of distribution vary by product line and by market.

**<u>Manufacturing and Distribution</u>**

We currently operate out of eighteen manufacturing facilities located within eleven U.S. states, one leased facility in Mexico, and two provinces in Canada.

We design, engineer, and manufacture most of our lighting and display products through the utilization of lean manufacturing principles. Our investment in our production facilities focuses primarily on improving capabilities, product quality, manufacturing efficiency, and environmental, health, and safety compliance. The majority of products we sell are engineered, designed, and assembled by the Company, while a small portion of the products and components we sell are purchased from select qualified vendors. Our lighting and display solutions products are delivered directly from our manufacturing facilities to our customers utilizing third-party common carriers.

The principal raw materials and purchased components used in the manufacturing of our products are steel, aluminum, aluminum castings, fabrications, LEDs, power supplies, sensors, powder paint, steel tubing, wire harnesses, acrylic, silicon and glass lenses, inks, various graphics substrates such as Aluminum Composite Material (ACM), Expanded PVC sheet (EPVC), vinyl film, styrene, foamboards, wood and wood laminates, condensing units, and digital screens. We source these materials and components from a variety of suppliers. Although an interruption of these supplies and components could disrupt our operations, we believe generally that alternative sources of supply exist and could be readily arranged. When faced with supply chain challenges, we increase our safety stock in certain components in order to mitigate potential disruption to our operations resulting from an anticipated shortage of certain components. We are not dependent on any one supplier for critical component parts. We strive to reduce price volatility in our purchases of raw materials and components through annual contracts with strategic suppliers. Our Lighting operations generally carry a certain level of sub-assemblies and finished goods inventory to meet quick delivery requirements. Most lighting products are made to order and shipped shortly after they are manufactured whereas our display solutions operations manufacture custom products for customers who require us to stock certain amounts of finished goods in exchange for their commitment to that inventory. An example is our digital signage business, where customers require us to carry an inventory of digital screens to meet the demands of a large rollout programs.

------

**<u>Research and Development</u>**:

We invest in the development of new products and solutions as well as the enhancement of existing product offerings to meet the needs of our customers. Research and development costs are directly attributable to new product development, including the development of new technology for both existing and new products, and consist of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials, outside legal costs and filing fees related to obtaining patents, supplies, depreciation, and other administrative costs. Research and development costs related to both product and software development totaled $3.3 million and $3.5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

**<u>Competition</u>**

We experience competition in both segments and in all markets we serve based on numerous factors, including price, brand name recognition, product quality, product design, prompt delivery, energy efficiency, customer relationships, reputation, and service capabilities. Although we have many competitors, both nationally and internationally, some of which have greater financial and other resources, we do not compete with the same companies across both segments and all markets.

**<u>Working Capital</u>**

For a discussion of our working capital, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

**<u>Environmental Regulations</u>**

We are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. These include statutory and regulatory provisions under which we are responsible for the management of hazardous materials we use and the disposition of hazardous wastes resulting from our manufacturing processes. Failure to comply with such provisions could result in fines and other liabilities to the government or third parties.

**<u>Seasonality</u>**

Our business in both lighting and display solutions segments is subject to some seasonality, with net sales being affected by weather and seasonal demand on construction and installation programs, particularly during the winter months, as well as the annual budget cycles of some major customers. Certain market verticals, grocery and quick-service restaurants (QSR) for example, restrict renovation activity during the November and December holiday season, as these are the high consumer traffic and sales periods. Sales in our Lighting Segment are to customers in both the new construction and renovation and retrofit markets. The construction market is cyclical in nature and subject to changes in general economic conditions and fiscal policies.

**<u>Intellectual Property</u>**

We own or have rights with respect to various domestic patents, trademarks, and other intellectual property related to our lighting products. These intellectual property rights are important to our businesses. We rely on copyright, patent, trade secret, and trademark laws to protect certain proprietary rights. Despite these protections, unauthorized parties may attempt to infringe on our intellectual property. While patents and patent applications in the aggregate are important to our competitive position, no single patent or patent application is individually material to us.

**<u>Human Capital</u>**

We recognize that in order to drive innovation, growth, and operational excellence, we must identify, attract, retain, and motivate top talent. Our approach is to develop talent from within and supplement with external hires. We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and engaged workforce. Our management teams and all of our employees are expected to exhibit the principles of fairness, honesty, and integrity in the actions we undertake. Our employees must adhere to a code of conduct and ethics that sets standards for appropriate behavior and includes required annual training on preventing, identifying, reporting, and stopping any type of unlawful discrimination or unethical actions.

We have approximately 2,000 full-time and part-time employees and approximately 175 agency employees as of June 30, 2025. We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits program to our employees, including competitive wages, medical and dental insurance, and a 401(k) retirement savings plan.

**<u>Information Concerning the Company</u>**

We file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. The SEC maintains an internet website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding us. The address of that site is <u>http://www.sec.gov</u>. Our internet address is <u>http://www.lsicorp.com</u>. We make available free of charge through our internet website our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practical after we electronically file them with the SEC.

The information found on our website is not part of, or incorporated by reference into, this or any other report we file with, or furnish to, the SEC. In addition to these channels, we use social media to communicate to the public. It is possible that the information we post on social media could be deemed to be material to investors. We encourage investors, the media, and others interested in LSI to review the information we post on the social media channels listed on our Investor Relations website.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the following factors which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or future results. Anyone of these factors could cause the Company's actual results to vary materially from recent results or from anticipated future results. The risks described below are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

**RISKS RELATED TO OUR STRATEGY** 

**<u>The inability to effectively execute our business strategies could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.</u>**

Various uncertainties and risks are associated with our approach to strategically penetrate existing and new market verticals, including but not limited to, the development, marketing and selling of new products and solutions, new product development, and the overall development, marketing, and selling of lighting and display solutions. Those uncertainties and risks include but are not limited to diversion of management's attention; difficulty in retaining or attracting employees; negative impact on business relationships and customers; obsolescence of current products and slow new product development; inability to produce products with quality, performance, and cost attributes equal to or better than provided by our competitors; and unforeseen difficulties in the implementation of the management operating structure. Problems with strategy execution could offset anticipated benefits, disrupt service to customers, and impact product quality as well as adversely affect our business. With the addition of new products and solutions, we may encounter new and different competitors that may have more experience with respect to such products and solutions.

**<u>The markets in which we operate are subject to competitive pressures that could affect selling prices, and therefore could adversely affect our operating results.</u>**

Our businesses operate in markets that are highly competitive, and we compete on the basis of price, quality, service and/or brand name across the industries and markets served. Some of our competitors for certain products, primarily in the Lighting Segment, have greater sales, assets, and financial resources. Some of our competitors are based in foreign countries and have cost structures and prices in foreign currencies. Accordingly, currency fluctuations could cause our U.S. dollar-priced products to be less competitive than our competitors' products which are priced in other currencies. Aggressive pricing actions of our competitors could affect prices we charge our customers or demand for our products, which could adversely affect our operating results. Additionally, customers for our products may attempt to reduce the number of vendors from which they purchase in order to reduce the size and diversity of their inventories and their transaction costs. To remain competitive, we will need to invest continuously in research and development, manufacturing, marketing, and customer service and support. We may not have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments, and we may be unable to maintain our competitive position.

**<u>Two of our largest market verticals are the refueling and convenience store and grocery markets, and any substantial change in these markets could have an adverse effect on our business.</u>**

The Company has a concentration of sales in the refueling and convenience store and grocery markets. Sales to the refueling and convenience store market are dependent upon the general conditions prevailing in and the profitability of the Petroleum industry and general market conditions. The refueling and convenience store market can be subject to reactions by the petroleum industry due to world political events, to the price and supply of oil, and to a decline in demand resulting from an economic recession, or other factors. Major disruptions in the petroleum industry generally result in a curtailment of retail marketing efforts, including expansion and refurbishing of retail outlets by the petroleum industry, which could adversely affect our business. The operating environment for the grocery market continues to be characterized by the fragmentation of local, regional, and national retailers, including both retail and digital formats, market consolidation, intense competition, and entry of non-traditional competitors. The changing operating environment along with changes in customer behaviors within the grocery market could have an adverse impact on the purchasing decisions by one or more of our larger customers in this market. In addition, actions by our competitors, our customers' financial constraints, and industry factors or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on our business in either of these markets.

------

**<u>The Company may pursue future growth through strategic acquisitions and investments, which may not yield anticipated benefits</u>**

The Company has grown and strengthened its business through strategic acquisitions and will continue to do so as opportunities arise in the future in order to meet the Company's growth objectives. The Company will benefit from such activity only to the extent that it can effectively leverage and integrate the assets or capabilities of the acquired businesses including, but not limited to, personnel, technology, and operating processes. Moreover, unanticipated events, negative revisions to valuation assumptions and estimates, diversions of resources and management's attention from other business concerns, and difficulties in attaining synergies, among other factors, could adversely affect the Company's ability to recover initial and subsequent investments, particularly those related to acquired goodwill and intangible assets, which in turn could result in the impairment of the acquired company's goodwill and related assets. In addition, such investment transactions may limit the Company's ability to invest in other activities, which could be more profitable or advantageous.

**<u>If we do not develop the appropriate new products or if customers do not accept new products, we could experience a loss of competitive position which could adversely affect future revenues.</u>**

The Company is committed to product innovation on a timely basis to meet customer demands. Development of new products for targeted markets requires the Company to develop or otherwise leverage leading technologies in a cost-effective and timely manner. Failure to meet these changing demands could result in a loss of competitive position and seriously impact future revenues. Products or technologies developed by others may render the Company's products or technologies obsolete or non-competitive. A fundamental shift in technologies in key product markets could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results and competitive position within the industry. More specifically, the development of new or enhanced products is a complex and uncertain process requiring the anticipation of technological and market trends. Rapidly changing product technologies could adversely impact operating results due to potential technological obsolescence of certain inventories or increased warranty expense related to newly developed LED lighting products or any of the Company's other products and services. We may experience design, manufacturing, marketing, or other difficulties, such as inability to attract a sufficient number of experienced engineers which could delay or prevent our development, introduction or marketing of new products or enhancements and result in unexpected expenses. Such difficulties could cause us to lose business from our customers and could adversely affect our competitive position. In addition, added expenses could decrease the profitability associated with those products that do not gain market acceptance.

**<u>If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, we may lose some of our competitive advantage.</u>**

Our success is determined in part by our ability to obtain United States and foreign patent protection for our technology and to preserve our trade secrets. Our ability to compete and the ability of our business to grow could suffer if our intellectual property rights are not adequately protected. There can be no assurance that our patent applications will result in patents being issued or that current or additional patents will afford protection against competitors. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret protection and contractual rights to establish and protect our intellectual property. Failure of our patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret protection, non-disclosure agreements and other measures to provide protection of our technology and our intellectual property rights could enable our competitors to compete with us more effectively and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, our trade secrets and proprietary know-how may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by others. No guarantee can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our proprietary technology.

**RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS** 

**<u>Price increases in, and significant shortages of, raw materials and components; and shortages in transportation and increased fuel prices could adversely affect our operating margin.</u>** 

The Company purchases large quantities of raw materials and components such as steel, aluminum, aluminum castings, fabrications, LEDs, power supplies, powder paint, steel tubing, wire harnesses, acrylic, silicon and glass lenses, inks, various graphics substrates such as Aluminum Composite Material (ACM), Expanded PVC sheet (EPVC), vinyl film, styrene, foamboards, wood and wood laminates, condensing units, and digital screens. The Company's operating results could be affected by the availability and price fluctuations of these materials. The Company's strategic sourcing plans include mitigating supply chain risk by utilizing multiple suppliers for a commodity to avoid significant dependence on any single supplier. Although an interruption of these supplies and components could disrupt our operations, we believe generally that alternative sources of supply exist and could be readily arranged. With regard to price fluctuations of our raw material and component purchases, the price risk for materials the Company purchases is related to price increases in commodity items that affect all users of the materials, including the Company's competitors. Significant tariffs or increases in the price of these raw materials and components could further increase the Company's operating costs and materially adversely affect margins. The Company does, however, seek and qualify new suppliers, negotiate with existing suppliers, and arrange stocking agreements to mitigate risk of supply and price increases. The Company can also be impacted by shortages and the availability of transportation of our products to our customers, in addition to rising fuel prices. The Company's Lighting Segment has implemented price increases with customers to offset raw material price increases along, rising transportation costs, and to mitigate the impact of trade tariffs. The Company's Display Solutions Segment generally establishes new sales prices, reflective of the then current raw material prices and transportation costs, for each program as it begins with further price increases throughout the life of the program when warranted. Although the Company attempts to pass along increased costs in the form of price increases to its customers, the Company may be unsuccessful in doing so for competitive reasons. Even when price increases are successful, the timing of such price increases may lag behind the incurrence of higher costs.

**<u>Our information technology systems are subject to certain cyber risks and could be subject to interruptions that are beyond our control</u>*.***

We depend heavily on the proper functioning and availability of our information, communications, and data processing systems, including operating and financial reporting systems, in operating our business. Our systems and those of our technology and communications providers are vulnerable to interruptions caused by natural disasters, power loss, telecommunication and internet failures, cyber-attack, and other events beyond our control. Accordingly, information security and the continued development and enhancement of the controls and processes designed to protect our systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a priority for us.

We could be targeted by malicious cyber activity. Any failure to identify address or prevent malicious cyber activity could result in service interruptions, operational difficulties, loss of revenues or market share, liability to our customers or others, the diversion of corporate resources, injury to our reputation and increased service and maintenance costs. We have significantly enhanced and will continue to improve our cybersecurity controls in order to minimize the likelihood or impact of a malicious cyber activity.

Our information systems are protected through physical and software security as well as redundant backup systems, however, as cyber-attacks continue to evolve, we are committed to investing in our cyber defenses in order to mitigate the risks. Some of our software systems are provided and/or utilized by third parties who maintain responsibility for mitigating cybersecurity risk. We have invested and continue to invest in technology security initiatives, employee training, information technology risk management and disaster recovery plans. The development and maintenance of these measures is costly and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become increasingly more sophisticated. Despite our efforts, we are not fully insulated from data breaches, technology disruptions or data loss, which could adversely impact our competitiveness and results of operations. Any future successful cyber-attack or catastrophic natural disaster could significantly affect our operating and financial systems and could temporarily disrupt our ability to provide required services to our customers, impact our ability to manage our operations and perform vital financial processes, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

**<u>Labor shortages or increases in labor costs could adversely impact our business and results of operations.</u>**

We rely heavily on our employees, and any shortage of qualified labor could adversely affect our business. If we are not successful in our recruiting and retention efforts due to general labor shortages or otherwise, we could encounter a shortage of qualified employees in future periods. Any such shortage would decrease our ability to produce sufficient quantities of our product to serve our customers effectively. Such a shortage may also require us to pay higher wages for employees and incur a corresponding reduction in our profitability. Improvements in the economy and labor markets also could impact our ability to attract and retain key personnel. Rising wages across an improving economy can increase the competition among employers for a scarce labor force and make it difficult for us to attract and retain key personnel.

**<u>If the Company</u>**<u>'</u>**<u>s products are improperly designed, manufactured, packaged, or labeled, the Company may need to recall those items, may have increased warranty costs, and could be the target of product liability claims</u>**

The Company may need to recall products if they are improperly designed, manufactured, packaged, or labeled, and the Company's insurance may not provide full coverage for such recall events. Many of the Company's products and solutions have become complex and include sophisticated and sensitive electronic components. The Company has manufactured certain of those components and products in its own facilities. Widespread product recalls could result in significant losses due to the costs of a recall, the destruction of product inventory, penalties, and lost sales due to the unavailability of a product for a period of time. In addition, products developed by the Company that incorporates LED technology, generally provide for more extensive warranty protection which may result in increased warranty claim costs. The Company may also be liable if the use of any of its products causes harm and could suffer losses from a significant product liability judgment against the Company in excess of its insurance limits. The Company may not be able to obtain indemnity or reimbursement from its suppliers or other third parties for the warranty costs or liabilities associated with its products. A significant product recall, warranty claim, or product liability case could also result in adverse publicity, damage to the Company's reputation, and a loss of consumer confidence in its products.

------

**<u>Changes in a customer</u>**<u>'</u>**<u>s demands and commitment to proprietary inventory could result in significant inventory write-offs.</u>**

Upgrading or replacing a customer's current image requires the manufacture of inventory that is specific to the particular customer. This is particularly true in the Display Solutions Segment. In as many instances as possible, we require a commitment from the customer before the inventory is produced. Our request for a commitment may range from a single site or store to a large rollout program involving many sites or stores. The risk does exist that a customer cannot or will not honor its commitment to us. The reasons a customer cannot or will not honor its commitment can range from the bankruptcy of the customer to the change in the image during the rollout program, to canceling the program before its completion and before the inventory is sold to the customer. In each of these instances, we could be left with significant amounts of inventory required to support the customer's re-imaging. While all efforts are made to hold the customer accountable for its commitment, there is the risk that a significant amount of inventory could be deemed obsolete or no longer usable which could result in significant inventory write-offs.

**<u>The turnover of independent commissioned sales representatives could cause a significant disruption in sales volume.</u>**

Commissioned sales representatives are critical to generating business in the Lighting Segment. From time to time, commissioned sales representatives representing a particular region resign, are terminated and replaced with new commissioned sales representatives, or consolidated with another local firm. During this period of transition from the previous agency to the new one, sales in the particular region will likely fall as business is disrupted. It may take several months for the new sales representative to generate sales that will equal or exceed the previous sales representative. There is also the risk that the new sales agency will not attain the sales volume of the previous agency. These sales representative changes may occur individually as one agency is replaced due to lack of performance or changes may occur as a result of the mergers or acquisitions within the lighting industry. On the other hand, these sales representative changes can be widespread as a result of the competitive nature of the lighting industry as LSI and its competition vie for the strongest sales agency in a particular region.

**<u>The Company may be unable to sustain significant customer and/or channel partner relationships.</u>**

Relationships with customers are directly impacted by the Company's ability to deliver quality products and services. The loss of or a substantial decrease in the volume of purchases by certain large customers could significantly harm the Company. The Company has relationships with channel partners such as electrical distributors, independent sales agencies, system integrators, contractors, and value-added resellers, to name a few. While the Company maintains positive, and in many cases long-term relationships with these channel partners, the loss of a number of channel partners or substantial decrease in the volume of purchases from a major channel partner or group of channel partners could adversely affect the Company.

**<u>A loss of key personnel or inability to attract qualified personnel could have an adverse effect on our operating results.</u>**

The Company's future success depends on the ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing and finance personnel, and, to a significant extent, upon the efforts and abilities of senior management. The Company's management philosophy of selecting and empowering high levels of talent could result in a lean workforce. Future success of the Company will depend on, among other factors, the ability to attract and retain other qualified personnel, particularly executive management, research and development engineers, and sales professionals. The loss of the services of any key employees or the failure to attract or retain other qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

**<u>Changes in a shift in product mix can have a significant impact on our gross margins</u>**

Certain of our products have higher gross profit margins than others. Further, the difference in gross margin of the products sold within the Lighting and Display Solutions Segments can also vary significantly. Consequently, changes in the product mix of our sales from quarter-to-quarter or from year-to-year can have a significant impact on our reported gross profit margins.

**<u>We may not recognize all revenues from our backlog or receive all payments anticipated under awarded projects and customer contracts.</u>**

Our customers have the right under some circumstances to terminate contracts or defer the timing of our shipments or installments and their payments to us. We may not receive all of the revenues from our backlog. If we do not receive all of the revenues we currently expect to receive, our future operating results could be adversely affected. In addition, a delay in the receipt of revenues, even if such revenues are eventually received, may cause our operating results for a particular quarter to fall below our expectations.

------

**RISKS RELATED TO LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS** 

**<u>Potential changes in U.S. trade policies could have a material adverse effect on the Company.</u>**

There is uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S and various other countries with respect to trade policies and tariffs. There is also uncertainty as to whether trade between the U.S. and other countries, including countries in which we operate along with countries where our customers or suppliers operate, may be impacted by those policy developments. Changes in policy or continued uncertainty could depress economic activity and restrict our access to certain suppliers and customers.

Tariffs implemented on our component parts and certain finished good inventory will increase the cost of our products manufactured at our plants in the U.S. and in Canada. Some of our purchased components are sourced from or manufactured in foreign countries. Import tariffs will result in increased prices for imported goods and materials and, in some cases, may result or have resulted in price increases for domestically sourced goods and materials. Changes in U.S. trade policy have resulted and could result in additional reactions from U.S. trading partners, including adopting responsive trade policies making it more difficult or costly for us to export our products or import goods and materials from those countries. These measures could also result in increased costs for goods imported into the U.S. or may cause us to adjust our foreign supply chain. Either of these could require us to increase prices to our customers, which may reduce demand, or, if we are unable to increase prices, result in lowering our margin on products sold which in turn could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**<u>Changes in our tax rates and exposures to additional income tax liabilities could have an unfavorable effect on the Company</u>**<u>'</u>**<u>s reported results.</u>**

The Company is subject to income and other taxes in the United States federal jurisdiction and various local, state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company's future effective income tax rates could be unfavorably affected by various factors, including changes in the tax rates as well as rules and regulations in relevant jurisdictions. In addition, the amount of income taxes paid is subject to ongoing audits by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities and by non-U.S. authorities. If these audits result in assessments different from amounts recorded, the Company's future financial results may include unfavorable adjustments.

**<u>Emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (</u>**<u>"</u>**<u>ESG</u>**<u>"</u>**<u>) matters by various stakeholders could negatively affect our business.</u>**

Customer, investor and employee expectations relating to ESG have been rapidly evolving and increasing. In addition, government organizations are enhancing or advancing legal and regulatory requirements specific to ESG matters. The heightened stakeholder focus on ESG issues related to our business requires the continuous monitoring of various and evolving laws, regulations, standards and expectations and the associated reporting requirements. A failure to adequately meet stakeholder expectations may result in noncompliance, the loss of business, reputational impacts, diluted market valuation, an inability to attract customers and an inability to attract and retain top talent. In addition, our adoption of certain standards or mandated compliance to certain requirements could necessitate additional investments that could impact our profitability.

Climate changes, such as extreme weather conditions, create financial risk to our business. Global physical climate changes, including unseasonable weather conditions, could result in reduced demand or product obsolescence for certain of our customers' products and/or price modifications for our customers' products and the resources needed to produce them. This could in turn put pressure on our manufacturing costs and result in reduced profit margin associated with certain of our customer programs, or loss of customer programs that we may not be able to replace.

**RISKS RELATED TO FINANCIAL MATTERS** 

**<u>A significant decline in our stock price could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.</u>**

The market price of our common stock can experience significant fluctuations. Our progress in developing and commercializing our products, our quarterly operating results, announcements of new products by us or our competitors, our perceived prospects, changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets, adverse events related to our strategic relationships, and other developments affecting us, or our competitors could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. This volatility of the stock market has had a significant effect on the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. These market fluctuations, regardless of the cause, may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results, and this could impact our ability to raise capital.

**<u>Increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere could adversely affect our business.</u>** 

We are exposed to fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The United States and other jurisdictions have experienced high levels of inflation. If the inflation rate increases, it will likely affect our expenses, including, but not limited to, employee compensation and labor expenses along with the cost of various goods and services the Company purchases, and we may not be successful in offsetting such cost increases. In addition, an increase in interest rates will further result in increased interest expense.

------

**<u>Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and in Ohio law could make difficult or delay a change in management or negatively impact our share price.</u>**

Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us even if such a change in control would increase the value of our common stock and could prevent or hinder attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current board of directors or management.

We have a number of provisions in place that will hinder takeover attempts and could reduce the market value of our common stock or prevent sale at a premium. These provisions include:

● the authorization of undesignated preferred stock, which makes it possible for the board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences in a manner that could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control;

● a provision that specifies that special meetings of our shareholders may be called only by our board of directors, our chairman of the board, if one has been elected, our president, or persons holding 50% of our outstanding voting stock;

● any business combination between us and a beneficial owner of 15% or more of our voting power requires the vote of 66 2/3% of the voting power of disinterested shareholders for five years after a party became an interested shareholder;

● any person who becomes a beneficial owner of 15% or more of our voting power must offer to purchase all of our voting securities and securities convertible into or exercisable for our voting securities within 25 days after achieving 15% ownership. The price to be paid would be the greater of the highest price paid by such 15% owner in acquiring its shares or the highest trading price for a period of time prior to such person becoming a 15% owner;

● the votes of holders of 66 2/3% of all outstanding shares are required to amend our Articles of Incorporation and to approve mergers, reorganizations, and similar transactions; and advance notice requirements by shareholders for director nominations and actions to be taken at annual meetings.

Ohio corporation law contains provisions that may discourage takeover bids for our company that have not negotiated with the board of directors. Such provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our shares of common stock. Additionally, shareholders may act by written consent without a meeting only if such written consent is signed by all shareholders.

**<u>Due to inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that our system of disclosure and internal controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors, theft, and fraud, or in informing management of all material information in a timely manner.</u>**

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system is designed to give reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, any control system reflects resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Inherent limitations of a control system may include judgments in decision making may be faulty, breakdowns can occur simply because of error or mistake and controls can be circumvented by collusion or management override. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

We have received no written comments regarding our periodic or current reports from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that were issued 180 days or more preceding the end of our fiscal year 2025 that remain unresolved.

Item 1C – CYBERSECURITY

***Risk Management and Strategy***

We are committed to preserving the trust and confidence of our stakeholders by taking appropriate technical and organizational measures for maintaining information security and data privacy. Our cybersecurity program allows us to assess, identify and manage information security and cybersecurity threats through risk assessment and prevention measures to facilitate communication, training, awareness and incident response procedures. We have established policies and procedures to ensure timely and appropriate notifications to relevant parties and regulators as required for cybersecurity threats and data breaches.

Our data breach response designates an incident response team comprised of senior leaders within information technology, finance and compliance functions to ensure timely diagnosis and mitigation of cyber events. The incident response team is responsible for determining whether a cybersecurity incident is material and requires current reporting pursuant to SEC Form 8-K Item 1.05 (Material Cybersecurity Incidents). In conducting the assessment, the team considers factors including but not limited to the probability of an adverse outcome; the potential significance of loss; the nature and extent of harm to individuals, customers, and vendors; the nature and extent of harm to our competitive position or reputation; and the possibility of litigation or regulatory investigations.

------

To ensure our cybersecurity programs adhere to industry best practices, we have adopted the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework as a guide for our cybersecurity program. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework models the best practices for security and the capabilities needed to identify, protect, detect and respond to cybersecurity risks and events. In addition to the framework, we have a Security Action Committee comprised of the senior leaders of information technology, finance, and compliance that meets regularly to guide the evolution of our cybersecurity program, review potential incidents, and respond to trends in the cybersecurity landscape. We evaluate our physical, electronic and administrative safeguards on a continuous basis to ensure they are effectively deployed across the business. We also engage third-party services to conduct evaluations of our security controls, whether through penetration testing, independent audits or consulting on best practices to address new challenges. These evaluations include testing both the design and operational effectiveness of security controls.

Despite the Company's security measures and programs, our information technology and infrastructure are susceptible to cybersecurity incidents, intrusions and attacks, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, operating margins, revenues and competitive position. See "Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors" for further discussion of these risks.

***Governance***

Our Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of cybersecurity risks and threats. The Board has delegated certain information security and data privacy oversight to the Audit Committee of the Board. The Audit Committee oversees compliance with information security and data privacy laws and has oversight responsibility for cybersecurity risks related to accounting, audit and financial matters. The Audit Committee and management report to the Board on a periodic basis regarding our information security and data privacy functions, including any cybersecurity threats.

The Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of our cybersecurity policy, procedures and risk mitigation. Our information technology (IT) leadership briefs the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors on a periodic basis on information security matters, including the current cybersecurity landscape, progress on information security initiatives and accomplishments, and reports on material cybersecurity incidents, as needed.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing our disclosures on cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Audit Committee assists in determining materiality for timely reporting of cybersecurity incidents and is notified immediately if the incident response team has assessed that a material event may have occurred that may require filing an SEC Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Chief Information Officer with the support from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assisted by our broader IT team, is responsible for setting the strategic direction and priorities for information security, coordination of enterprise-wide compliance with information security policies and procedures, as well as day-to-day information security management. Additionally, information security awareness trainings and testing are a compliance requirement for employees.

**<u>PART II</u>**

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

LSI's shares of common stock are traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "LYTS." At August 31, 2025, there were approximately 497 registered holders of record of our common stock.

The Company's Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy which indicates that dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion based upon its evaluation of earnings, cash flow requirements, financial condition, debt levels, stock repurchases, future business developments and opportunities, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. The Company has paid annual cash dividends beginning in fiscal 1987 through fiscal 1994, and quarterly cash dividends since fiscal 1995. The Company's indicated annual rate for payment of a cash dividend at the end of fiscal 2025 was $0.20 per share.

On April 28, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $15 million of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market, in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's decision to repurchase its shares, as well as the timing of such repurchases, will depend on a variety of factors, including the ongoing assessment of the Company's capital needs, the market price of the Company's common stock, general market conditions and other corporate considerations, as determined by management. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" appears on pages 24 through 30 of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in variable interest rates, changes in prices of raw materials and purchased component parts, and changes in foreign currency translation rates. Each of these risks is discussed below.

**<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>**

The Company earns interest income on its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments (if any) and pays interest expense on its debt (if any). Because of variable interest rates, the Company is exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations, which impact interest income, interest expense, and cash flows.

The Company's $75 million revolving line of credit and $25 million term loan is subject to interest rate fluctuations. Additionally, the Company expects to generate cash from its operations that will subsequently be used to pay down as much of the debt (if any is outstanding) as possible or invest cash in short-term investments (if no debt is outstanding), while still funding the growth of the Company.

**<u>Raw Material Price Risk</u>**

The Company purchases large quantities of raw materials and components such as steel, aluminum, aluminum castings, fabrications, LEDs, power supplies, powder paint, steel tubing, wire harnesses, acrylic, silicon and glass lenses, inks, various graphics substrates such as Aluminum Composite Material (ACM), Expanded PVC sheet (EPVC), vinyl film, styrene, foamboards, wood and wood laminates, condensing units, and digital screens. The price risk for materials the Company purchases is related to price increases in commodity items that affect all users of the materials, including the Company's competitors. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the purchased material component of cost of goods sold subject to price risk was approximately $263.1 million. The Company does not actively hedge or use derivative instruments to manage its risk in this area. The Company does, however, seek and qualify new suppliers, negotiate with existing suppliers, and arrange stocking agreements to mitigate risk of supply and price increases. The Company's Lighting Segment has historically implemented price increases with customers to offset raw material price increases. The Company's Display Solutions Segment generally establishes new sales prices, reflective of the then current raw material prices, for each program as it begins with further price increases throughout the life of the program when warranted.

------

**<u>Foreign Currency Translation Risk</u>**

The Company has some foreign currency risk with respect to its Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries. The sales transacted by these subsidiaries in pesos and Canadian dollars combined represents approximately 3% of the Company's fiscal 2025 consolidated net sales. All other business conducted by the Company is in U.S. dollars.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

<u>Disclosure Controls and Procedures</u>

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within required time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We conducted, under the supervision of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are fairly presented in all material respects in accordance with U.S GAAP, and the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have certified that, based on their knowledge, the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company's financial condition, results of operations, statement of shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report.

The Company acquired Canada's Best Holdings ("CBH") on March 11, 2025. Management excluded CBH from its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025. Including goodwill and acquired intangible assets, CBH represented 10% of the Company's total consolidated assets as of June 30, 2025, and 1% of the Company's total consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

**MANAGEMENT**'**S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to help the reader understand the results of the Company's operations and financial condition. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). This section generally discusses the results of our operations for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to the year ended June 30, 2024. For a discussion of the year ended June 30, 2024, compared to the year ended June 30, 2023, please refer to Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024.

**<u>Overview</u>**

LSI Industries Inc. (LSI) is a leading producer of non-residential lighting and retail display solutions. Non-residential lighting consists of American-made fixtures and services for both indoor and outdoor applications satisfying the specific performance requirements of our customers. Retail display solutions consist of multiple custom products and services which enhance our customer's brand image and improve the customer shopping experience. We offer customers in target vertical markets a package solution set of both lighting and display solutions, providing value for the customer by working with one partner to manage their regional and national location programs, versus multiple suppliers.

Fiscal 2025 net sales of $573.4 million increased 22% compared to fiscal 2024 net sales of $470.0 million. The increase in net sales was attributed to a $117.8 million or 57% increase in net sales of the Display Solutions Segment, partially offset by a $14.1 or 5% decline in net sales of the Lighting Segment. The Display Solutions Segment generated organic growth of 17% driven by increased sales across all product categories and vertical markets supported mostly by the grocery and refueling/ C-Store verticals. The Company's acquisition of EMI and CBH contributed an additional $85.3 million of the year-over-year sales growth of the Display Solutions Segment. The decline in sales in the Lighting Segment is attributed to the comparison of year-over-year sales of large lighting projects. In fiscal 2024, the Company had several large lighting projects that did not repeat in fiscal 2025. While there was a year-over-year decline in large lighting projects, small project activity continued to increase over the prior year period while large lighting projects order activity increased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

Fiscal 2025 operating income of $35.8 million represents a 1% increase from fiscal 2024 operating income of $35.5 million. Fiscal 2025 adjusted operating income, a Non-GAAP financial measure, was $48.4 million compared to adjusted fiscal 2024 operating income of $46.4 million. While sales increased 22% compared to the same period last year, Non-GAAP operating income rose 4%. The increase in sales was partially offset by the dilutive impact of acquisitions and by customer mix. Refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP measures

------

This report includes adjustments to GAAP operating income, net income, and earnings per share for the fiscal years 2025 and 2024. Operating income, net income, and earnings per share, which exclude the impact of long-term performance-based compensation expense, the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, commercial growth opportunity expense, acquisition costs, the lease expense on the step-up basis of acquired leases, and restructuring and severance costs, are non-GAAP financial measures. We further note that while the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets is excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures, the revenue of the acquired companies is included in the measures, and the acquired assets contribute to the generation of revenue. We believe these non-GAAP measures will provide increased transparency to our core operating performance of the business. This report includes additional non-GAAP financial measures, including Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA), Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and organic sales growth. We believe that these are useful as supplemental measures in assessing the operating performance of our business. These measures are used by our management, including our chief operating decision maker, to evaluate business results, and are frequently referenced by those who follow the Company. These non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, the non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations, in that they do not reflect all amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these measures should be used only to evaluate our results in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net income and earnings per share reported for the periods indicated along with the calculation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, and organic sales growth.

Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, LSI includes the amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets as an add-back to its non-GAAP reconciliation. Prior quarter non-GAAP reconciliations have been adjusted accordingly.

The following represents the income tax effects of the adjustments in the tables above, which were calculated using the estimated combined U.S., Canada and Mexico effective income tax rates for the periods indicated:

(1) $988

(2) $19

(3) $209

(4) $71

(5) $60

(6) $1,124

(7) $1,108

(8) $266

(9) $143

(10) $1,287

The reconciliation of reported earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share may not produce identical amounts due to rounding differences.

Display Solutions net sales of $325.0 million increased 57% from same period in fiscal 2024. This segment generated organic growth of 17% driven by increased sales across all major product categories and vertical markets supported mostly by the grocery and refueling/ C-Store verticals. The Company's acquisitions of EMI and CBH also contributed $85.3 million of the year-over-year sales growth of the Display Solutions Segment.

Gross profit of $57.5 million in fiscal 2025 increased 30% from the same period of fiscal 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 18% from 21% in the same period of fiscal 2024 as a result of the dilutive impact of acquisitions and by customer mix.

Operating expenses of $31.1 million in fiscal 2025 increased 29% from the same period of fiscal 2024, primarily driven by the acquisitions of EMI and CBH and by continued investment in commercial initiatives to drive growth.

Fiscal 2025 operating income of $26.4 million in fiscal 2025 increased 32% from the same period of fiscal 2024. The increase in operating income of 6.4 million was driven by the net effect of an increase in net sales partially offset by the dilutive impact of acquisitions and by customer mix.

Lighting Segment net sales of $248.4 million in fiscal 2025 decreased 5% compared to net sales of $262.4 million in the same period in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2024, the Company had several large lighting projects that did not repeat in fiscal 2025. While there was a year-over-year decline in large lighting projects, small project activity continued to increase over the prior year period while large lighting projects order activity increased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

Gross profit of $84.4 million in fiscal 2025 decreased 5% from the same period of fiscal 2024. The decline in gross profit is attributed to the decline in sales. Despite a decline in gross profit due to a decline in sales, gross profit as a percentage of sales improved marginally. Maintaining a comparable gross margin rate on lower sales was the result of an increase in a higher mix of value applications, and effective cost management.

Operating expenses of $54.1 million in fiscal 2025 decreased 3% from the same period of fiscal 2024, driven mostly by lower commission expense from lower sales, and effective cost management.

Fiscal 2025 Lighting Segment operating income of $30.3 million decreased 9% from operating income of $33.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2024 primarily driven by decreased net sales partially offset by an increase in a higher mix of value applications, stable pricing, and effective cost management.

The gross (loss) relates to the intercompany profit in inventory elimination.

Operating expenses of $20.8 million in fiscal 2025 increased 17% from the same period of fiscal 2024. The increase in expense is the result of an increase in investment in commercial initiatives to support the growth of the Company, including the cost associated with acquisitions, and performance related compensation programs.

**Consolidated Results**

The Company reported $3.1 million and $2.2 million of net interest expense in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in interest expense is the result of the funds borrowed to acquire EMI in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 along with the funds borrowed to acquire CBH in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, partially offset by decreased borrowing costs. The Company also recorded other (income)/expense of ($0.4) million and $0.3 million in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, both of which is related to net foreign exchange currency transaction gains and losses through the Company's Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries.

The $8.7 million of income tax expense in fiscal 2025 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 26.2%. The $8.1 million of income tax expense in fiscal 2024 represents a consolidated effective tax rate of 24.5%. The increase in the effective tax rate from fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2025 is primarily driven by an increase in state, local and foreign income taxes across the multiple tax jurisdictions where LSI has a physical presence partially offset by the favorable tax treatment of the Company's long-term performance-based compensation.

The Company reported net income of $24.4 million in fiscal 2025, compared to net income of $25.0 million in fiscal 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $32.9 million for fiscal 2025, compared to adjusted net income of $32.3 million for fiscal 2024 (Refer to the Non-GAAP tables above). The increase in Non-GAAP adjusted net income is primarily the net result of an increase in net sales partially offset by unfavorable product mix. Diluted adjusted earnings per share of $1.07 was reported in fiscal 2025, compared to the same diluted adjusted earnings per share of $1.07 in the same period of fiscal 2024. The weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2025, were 30,832,000 shares compared to 30,068,000 shares in the same period last year.

**<u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**

The Company considers our level of cash on hand, borrowing capacity, current ratio and working capital levels to be our most important measures of short-term liquidity. For long-term liquidity indicators, we believe our ratio of long-term debt to equity and our historical levels of net cash flows from operating activities to be the most important measures.

Working capital was $96.8 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $83.3 million at June 30, 2024. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.0 to 1 as of June 30, 2025, compared to a ratio of 2.1 to 1 as of June 30, 2024. The acquisition of Canada's Best Holding (CBH) in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 accounted for $9.7 million of the increase in net working capital. When the impact of the acquisition of CBH is removed from the year-over-year comparison, net working capital increased $5.4 million. The net increase in net working capital excluding CBH was mostly due to a $18.8 million increase in net accounts receivable, an increase of $4.0 million in net inventory, partially offset by a $13.6 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a 3.2 million reduction in refundable income taxes.

Net accounts receivable were $104.3 million and $78.6 million at June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively with CBH accounting for $6.9 million of net accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025. Net accounts receivable increased $18.8 million excluding CBH's net accounts receivable, primarily the result of a period-over period increase in sales. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) was 57 days and 58 days as of June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively. We believe that our receivables are ultimately collectible or recoverable, net of certain reserves, and that aggregate allowances for credit losses are adequate.

Net inventories were $79.8 million and $70.9 million at June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively, with CBH accounting for $5.0 million of the $79.8 million total net inventory at June 30, 2025. Net inventory increased $3.9 million excluding CBH's net inventory. The increase of $3.9 million is the result of a $1.7 million increase in Lighting Segment inventory and a $2.2 million increase in Display Solutions Segment inventory. Inventory levels increased in both reportable segments to support the growth in sales.

Cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under our credit facility is our primary source of liquidity. Our credit facility consists of a $25 million term loan and $75 million secured revolving line of credit. Both facilities expire in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. As of June 30, 2025, $35.7 million of the revolving line of credit was available. As of June 30, 2025, we are in compliance with all of our loan covenants. We believe that our $100 million credit facility plus cash flows from operating activities are adequate for operational and capital expenditure needs for the next 12 months.

The Company generated $38.1 million of cash from operating activities in fiscal 2025 compared to a generation of cash of $43.4 million in fiscal 2024. The Company continues to effectively manage its working capital while generating cash flow from earnings, resulting in strong cash flow from operations.

The Company consumed $28.0 million of cash from investing activities in fiscal 2025 compared to a consumption of cash of $55.3 million in fiscal 2024. The Company acquired Canada's Best Holdings for $24.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and acquired EMI Industries, LLC in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 for $49.9 million which contributed significantly to the consumption of cash in both reporting periods. The Company also invested $3.5 million and $5.4 million of cash related to purchases of equipment and tooling in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, to support sales growth initiatives.

The Company had a net consumption of cash of $11.4 million in fiscal 2025 compared to a net generation of cash of $14.3 million in fiscal 2024 related to financing activities. While the cash generated from operating activities continues to pay down its debt, the Company borrowed funds from its line of credit to acquire EMI and CBH, which impacted net debt activity over the course of the two fiscal years.

The Company has on its balance sheet financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, revolving lines of credit, and long-term debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

We have no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.

**Cash Dividends**

In August 2025, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable September 10, 2025, to shareholders of record as of September 2, 2025. The indicated annual cash dividend rate for fiscal 2025 was $0.20 per share. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy regarding dividends which indicates that dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors at its discretion based upon its evaluation of earnings, cash flow requirements, financial conditions, debt levels, stock repurchases, future business developments and opportunities, and other factors deemed relevant.

**<u>Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates</u>**

We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Some of those significant accounting policies require us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments or estimates. An accounting estimate is considered to be critical if it meets both of the following criteria: (i) the estimate requires assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made, and (ii) different estimates reasonably could have been used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur may have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The significant accounting policy that management believes is critical to the understanding and evaluating our reported financial results is the warranty reserve. For further information see Note 1. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies " of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Warranty Reserves:**

The Company offers a limited warranty that its products are free from defects in workmanship and materials. The specific terms and conditions vary somewhat by product line, but generally cover defective products returned within one to five years, with some exceptions where the terms extend to 10 years, from the date of shipment. The Company records warranty liabilities to cover the estimated future costs for repair or replacement of defective returned products as well as products that need to be repaired or replaced in the field after installation. The Company calculates its liability for warranty claims by applying estimates based upon historical claims as a percentage of sales to cover unknown claims, as well as estimating the total amount to be incurred for known warranty issues. Warranty reserves are subject to large reserve adjustments when actual warranty costs differ significantly from cost estimates due to unforeseen claim activity which exceeds historical claim activity such as product failures across several customers or over a wide geographic area. The Company also periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amount as necessary, which can also cause large reserve adjustments. These adjustments may be required in the future, which could adversely affect our gross profit and results of operations. The same methodology was used for calculating warranty reserves in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 which resulted in an increase in the reserves in fiscal 2025.

**Business Combination:**

From time to time, the Company enters into business combinations. Business acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. In the fair value evaluation of intangible assets acquired, there are significant estimates and assumptions, including forecasts of future cash flows, revenues; and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; as well as the selection of the royalty rates and discount rates. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The acquisition method of accounting also requires us to refine these estimates over a measurement period not to exceed one year to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. If we are required to adjust provisional amounts that we have recorded for the fair values of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, these adjustments could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially recorded in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. We continue to collect information and reevaluate these estimates and assumptions periodically and record any adjustments to preliminary estimates to goodwill, provided we are within the measurement period. If outside of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statement of operations.

**<u>MANAGEMENT</u>**<u>'</u>**<u>S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING</u>**

The Management of LSI Industries Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company" or "LSI") is responsible for the preparation and accuracy of the financial statements and other information included in this report. LSI's Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of Management, including LSI's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on the criteria set forth in "the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the reality that judgments in decision making can be faulty, the possibility of human error, and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.

In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of the financial statements, the Company depends upon its system of internal accounting controls. The system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly authorized and recorded. The system is supported by policies and guidelines, and by careful selection and training of financial management personnel. The Company also has a Disclosure Controls Committee, whose responsibility is to help ensure appropriate disclosures and presentation of the financial statements and notes thereto. Additionally, the Company has an Internal Audit Department to assist in monitoring compliance with financial policies and procedures.

The Board of Directors meets its responsibility for overview of the Company's financial statements through its Audit Committee which is composed entirely of independent Directors who are not employees of the Company. The Audit Committee meets periodically with Management and Internal Audit to review and assess the activities of each in meeting their respective responsibilities. Grant Thornton LLP has full access to the Audit Committee to discuss the results of their audit work, the adequacy of internal accounting controls, and the quality of financial reporting.

The Company acquired Canada's Best Holding (CBH) on March 11, 2025. Management excluded CBH from its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025. Including goodwill and acquired intangible assets, CBH represented 10% of the Company's total consolidated assets as of June 30, 2025, and 1% of the Company's total consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Based upon LSI's evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2025. We reviewed the results of Management's assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm audited and independently assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, which is presented in the financial statements.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

Board of Directors and Shareholders

LSI Industries Inc.

**Opinion on the financial statements** 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LSI Industries Inc. (an Ohio corporation) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule included under Item 8 (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control*—*Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"), and our report dated September 11, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion.

**Basis for opinion** 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical audit matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Acquisition of Canada*'*s Best Holdings*

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed an acquisition agreement wherein the Company acquired 100% ownership of Canada's Best Holdings on March 11, 2025 for total consideration of $25.9M resulting in the addition of $9.6M of intangible assets. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We identified the valuation of the acquired customer relationships as a critical audit matter.

The principal considerations for our determination that the valuation of the acquired customer relationships is a critical audit matter is that the valuation of the acquired customer relationships was considered especially challenging and required significant auditor judgment due to the judgmental assumptions established by management in determining fair value measurements of the acquired customers relationships, which includes prospective financial information and discount rate. The Company, utilizing third-party specialists, used an income approach – excess earnings to measure the identified customer relationships. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve professionals having expertise in the valuation of acquired intangible assets, when performing audit procedures to evaluate management's judgments and conclusions related to the valuation of the acquired customer relationships.

Our audit procedures related to the valuation of the acquired customer relationships included the following, among others:

● Tested management's process and related internal controls for developing the fair value estimate, including the development of key assumptions, including prospective financial information and discount rate for the valuation of the acquired customer relationships

------

● Tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used to develop the fair value estimate

● Evaluated the appropriateness of the valuation model and methodology used by management with the assistance of professionals with specialized skills and knowledge

● Assessed the reasonableness of management's prospective financial information by comparing the projections to historical results and industry trends

● Involved professionals with specialized skills and knowledge to assist in the evaluation of the significant assumptions used by management including prospective financial information and discount rate for the valuation of the acquired customer relationships.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

Board of Directors and Shareholders

LSI Industries Inc.

**Opinion on internal control over financial reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of LSI Industries Inc. (an Ohio corporation) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control*—*Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control*—*Integrated Framework* issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and our report dated September 11, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

**Basis for opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audit of, and opinion on, the Company's internal control over financial reporting does not include the internal control over financial reporting of Canada's Best Holdings ("CBH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 10 percent and 1 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025. As indicated in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, CBH was acquired during fiscal year 2025. Management's assertion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting excluded internal control over financial reporting of CBH.

**Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**<u>NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS</u>**

**NOTE 1** — **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Consolidation:**

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and include the accounts of LSI Industries Inc. (an Ohio corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Revenue Recognition:** 

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies the performance obligation in its customer contracts or purchase orders. Most of the Company's products have a single performance obligation which is satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Control is generally transferred at the time of shipment when title and risk of ownership passes to the customer. For customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price and any discounts to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. Payment terms are typically within 30 to 90 days from the shipping date, depending on the terms with the customer. The Company offers standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations.

Installation is a separate performance obligation, except for the Company's digital signage products. For digital signage products, installation is not a separate performance obligation as the product and installation is the combined item promised in digital signage contracts. The Company is not always responsible for installation of products it sells and has no post-installation responsibilities other than standard warranties.

A number of the Company's display solutions and select lighting products are customized for specific customers. As a result, these customized products do not have an alternative use. For these products, the Company has a legal right to payment for performance to date and generally does not accept returns on these items. The measurement of performance is based upon cost plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed. Because there is no alternative use and there is a legal right to payment, the Company transfers control of the item as the item is being produced and therefore recognizes revenue over time. The customized product types are as follows:

● Customer specific metal and millwork branded products and branded print graphics

● Electrical components based on customer specifications

● Digital signage and related media content

The Company also offers installation services for its display solutions elements and select lighting products. Installation revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided through the installation process.

For these customized products and installation services, revenue is recognized using a cost-based input method: recognizing revenue and gross profit as work is performed based on the relationship between the actual cost incurred and the total estimated cost for the performance obligation.

On occasion, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangements on a limited basis. Each bill-and-hold arrangement is reviewed and revenue is recognized only when certain criteria have been met: (1) the customer has requested delayed delivery and storage of the products by the Company because the customer wants to secure a supply of the products but lacks storage space; (ii) the risk of ownership has passed to the customer; (iii) the products are segregated from the Company's other inventory items held for sale; (iv) the products are ready for shipment to the customer; and (v) the Company does not have the ability to use the products or direct them to another customer.

------

<u>Disaggregation of Revenue</u>

The Company disaggregates the revenue from contracts with customers by the timing of revenue recognition because the Company believes it best depicts the nature, amount, and timing of its revenue and cash flows. The table below presents a reconciliation of the disaggregation by reportable segments:

---

<u>Practical Expedients and Exemptions</u>

● The Company's contracts with customers have an expected duration of one year or less, as such, the Company applies the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred and has omitted disclosures on the amount of remaining performance obligations.

● Shipping costs that are not material in context of the delivery of products are expensed as incurred.

● The Company's accounts receivable balance represents the Company's unconditional right to receive payment from its customers with contracts. Payments are generally due within 30 to 90 days of completion of the performance obligation and invoicing; therefore, payments do not contain significant financing components.

● The Company collects sales tax and other taxes concurrent with revenue-producing activities which are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment activities and included in cost of products and services sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**Credit and Collections:**

The Company maintains allowances for credit losses for probable estimated losses resulting from either customer disputes or the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make the required payments, the Company may be required to record additional allowances or charges against income. The Company determines its allowance for credit losses by first considering all known collectability problems of customers' accounts and then applying certain percentages against the various aging categories based on the due date of the remaining receivables. The resulting allowance for credit losses is an estimate based upon the Company's knowledge of its business and customer base, the current economic climate, and historical trends. Receivables deemed uncollectable are written off against the allowance for credit losses after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company also establishes allowances, at the time revenue is recognized, for returns, discounts, pricing, and other possible customer deductions. These allowances are based upon historical trends. The following table presents the Company's net accounts receivable at the dates indicated.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| <u>**Net Accounts Receivable**</u> |  |  |
| *(In thousands)* | **June 30, 2025** | **June 30, 2024** |
| Accounts receivable | $105499 | $79474 |
| Less: Allowance for credit losses | (1152) | (848) |
| Accounts receivable, net | $104347 | $78626 |

---

------

The net accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2023, was $77.7 million.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents:**

The cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents which have original maturities of less than three months. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits and a bank money market account that is stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In the United States, the FDIC limit for insurance coverage on non-interest-bearing accounts is $250,000 per institution. As of June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, the Company had bank balances of $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, without insurance coverage.

**Inventories, Net:**

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories includes the cost of purchased raw materials and purchased components, direct labor, as well as manufacturing overhead which is generally applied to inventory based on direct labor and on material content, is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

The Company maintains an inventory reserve for obsolete and excess inventory. The Company first determines its excess and obsolete inventory reserve by considering specific known obsolete items, and then by applying certain percentages to specific inventory categories based upon inventory turns. The Company uses various tools, in addition to inventory turns, to identify which inventory items have the potential to become obsolete. Judgment is used to establish excess and obsolete inventory reserves and management adjusts these reserves as more information becomes available about the ultimate disposition of the inventory item.

**Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation:**

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Buildings (in years) | 28 | 40 |
| Machinery and equipment (in years) | 3 | 10 |
| Computer software (in years) | 3 | 8 |

---

Costs related to the purchase, internal development, and implementation of the Company's fully integrated enterprise resource planning/business operating software system are either capitalized or expensed. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of fifteen years or the remaining term of the lease.

The Company recorded $6.7 million and $5.0 million of depreciation expense in the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 respectively.

**Goodwill and Intangible Assets:**

Intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, patents, technology and software are recorded on the Company's balance sheet. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized to expense over periods ranging between five and twenty years. The Company evaluates definite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment when triggering events are identified. Neither indefinite-lived intangible assets nor the excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") are amortized, however, they are subject to review for impairment. See additional information about goodwill and intangible assets in Note 8.

**Fair Value:**

The Company has financial instruments consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, revolving lines of credit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value because of their short-term maturity and/or variable, market-driven interest rates. The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.

------

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in goodwill and other intangible asset impairment analyses, long-lived asset impairment analyses and valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The accounting guidance on fair value measurement was used to measure the fair value of these nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.

**Product Warranties:** 

The Company offers a limited warranty that its products are free from defects in workmanship and materials. The specific terms and conditions vary somewhat by product line, but generally cover defective products returned within one to five years, with some exceptions where the terms extend to 10 years, from the date of shipment. The Company records warranty liabilities to cover the estimated future costs for repair or replacement of defective returned products as well as products that need to be repaired or replaced in the field after installation. The Company calculates its liability for warranty claims by applying estimates based upon historical claims as a percentage of sales to cover unknown claims, as well as estimating the total amount to be incurred for known warranty issues. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amount as necessary.

Changes in the Company's warranty liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, during the periods indicated below were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In thousands)* | **June 30, 2025** | **June 30, 2024** |
| Balance at beginning of the period | $6623 | 6501 |
| Addition from acquired company | 73 | 345 |
| Additions charged to expense | 5304 | 3781 |
| Deductions for repairs and replacements | (4495) | (4004) |
| Balance at end of the period | $7505 | 6623 |

---

**Employee Benefit Plans:**

The Company has a 401(k)-retirement plan whereby employee's contributions to the 401(k) are matched by the Company. The 401(k)-match program covers substantially all of its employees. The Company also has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan covering certain employees. The costs of employee benefit plans are charged to expense and funded annually. Total costs were $2.4 million and $2.3 million in June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

**Research and Development Costs:**

Research and development costs are directly attributable to new product development, including the development of new technology for both existing and new products, and consist of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials, outside legal costs and filing fees related to obtaining patents, supplies, depreciation, and other administrative costs. The Company expenses as research and development all costs associated with development of software used in solid-state LED products. All costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling and administrative expenses. Research and development costs related to both product and software development totaled $3.3 million and $3.5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

**Cost of Products and Services Sold:**

Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacture of products, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense and direct overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished product. Cost of products sold also includes the cost to distribute products to customers, inbound freight costs, warehousing costs and other shipping and handling activity. Cost of services sold is primarily comprised of the internal and external labor costs required to support the Company's project management and installation costs to support its service revenue along with the management of media content.

**Stock-Based Compensation:**

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to certain employees in accordance with accounting guidance for stock-based compensation. The accounting guidance requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units, based on the grant date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Equity award forfeitures are recognized at the date of employee termination.

**Earnings Per Common Share:**

The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period net of treasury shares held in the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period and includes common share equivalents. Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, contingently issuable shares and common shares to be issued under a deferred compensation plan, all of which totaled 2,024,000 shares and 2,087,000 shares in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. See further discussion in Note 5.

------

**Income Taxes:**

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred income taxes are provided on items that are reported as either income or expense in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than they are for income tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets are reported on the Company's balance sheet. Significant management judgment is required in developing the Company's income tax provision, including the estimation of taxable income and the effective income tax rates in the multiple taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the estimation of the liability for uncertain income tax positions, the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that might be required against deferred tax assets.

**Foreign Exchange:**

The functional currency of the Company's Mexican subsidiary is the Mexican Peso and the functional currency of the Company's Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian Dollar. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated using period end exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during each period reported. Translation losses (gains) are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss (gain) as a component of shareholders equity and was ($0.6) million as of June 30, 2025, and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company recognizes foreign currency transaction (gains) and losses on certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in the Mexican Peso and Canadian Dollar. These transaction (gains) and losses are reported in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and was ($0.4) and $0.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

**New Accounting Pronouncements:**

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU *2023*-*06,* Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-*X* or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will monitor the removal of various requirements from the current regulations in order to determine when to adopt the related amendments, but it does *not* anticipate that the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023*,* the FASB issued ASU 2023*-*07, Segment Reporting (Topic *280*): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU expands reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard requires interim and annual disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") and included within the reported measure of a segment's profit or loss, requires interim disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually, requires disclosure of the position and title of the CODM, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and contains other disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, *with* early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures by providing greater visibility of the metrics used by the CODM to measure performance by each reportable segment. Refer to Note 4 – Business Segment Information. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023*-*09*,* Income Taxes (Topic 740*):* Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires additional disclosures of various income tax components that affect the rate reconciliation based on the applicable taxing jurisdictions, as well as the qualitative and quantitative aspects of those components. The standard also requires information pertaining to taxes paid to be disaggregated for federal, state and foreign taxes, and contains other disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024*,* and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025*,* with early adoption permitted.

**Use of Estimates:**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

------

**Subsequent Events:**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were filed. See Note 13 for the assessment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Act), which was signed into law on July 4, 2025. No other items were identified during this evaluation that required adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

**NOTE 2** — **ACQUISITION OF EMI INDUSTRIES, LLC**

On April 18, 2024, the Company acquired EMI Industries, LLC (EMI), a Florida-based metal and millwork manufacturer of standard and customized fixtures, displays and equipment for the convenience store, supermarket and restaurant industries, for $50.0 million, of which $0.1 million of the purchase price was retained pending a review of the acquired working capital. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the company funded an additional $59,000 related to the final settlement of the acquired working capital. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs totaling $1.0 million which are included in the selling and administrative expense line of the consolidated statements of operations during fiscal year 2024. The acquisition of EMI will further expand LSI's vertical market presence within Grocery, C-Store, and QSR/Restaurant, while providing a compelling entry point into other diverse markets. The Company funded the acquisition totaling $49.9 million with a combination of cash on hand and from the $75 million revolving line of credit.

The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination. The Company has allocated the purchase price of approximately $49.9 million which includes an estimate of customary post-closing purchase price adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values is recorded as goodwill. This allocation of the final determination of the purchase price was finalized in fiscal 2025, as well as the potential revision resulting from the finalization of pre-acquisition tax filings. The preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of April 18, 2024, is as follows:

The gross amount of accounts receivable acquired was $11.9 million.

Goodwill recorded from the acquisition of EMI is attributable to the impact of the positive cash flow from EMI in addition to expected synergies from the business combination. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. The trade name and technology used an income (relief from royalty) approach, the non-compete used an income (with or without) approach, and the customer relationships used an income (excess earnings) approach. The following table presents the details of the intangible assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

**NOTE 4** — **BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION** 

The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company's Chief Executive Officer or "CODM") in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's two operating segments are Lighting and Display Solutions, with one executive team under the organizational structure reporting directly to the CODM with responsibilities for managing each segment. Corporate and Eliminations, which captures the Company's corporate administrative activities, is also reported in the segment information.

The Company's method for measuring profitability on a reportable segment basis and used by the CODM to assess performance is adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, along with other non-GAAP adjustments (adjusted EBITDA). These measurements are used to monitor performance compared to prior periods and forecasted results.

The Lighting Segment includes non-residential outdoor and indoor lighting fixtures utilizing LED light sources that have been fabricated and assembled for the Company's markets, primarily the refueling and convenience store markets, parking lot and garage markets, quick-service restaurant market, retail and grocery store markets, the automotive market, the warehouse market, and the sports court and field market. The Company also services lighting product customers through the commercial and industrial project, stock and flow, and renovation channels. In addition to the manufacture and sale of lighting fixtures, the Company offers a variety of lighting controls to complement its lighting fixtures which include sensors, photocontrols, dimmers, motion detection and Bluetooth systems. The Lighting Segment also includes the design, engineering and manufacturing of electronic circuit boards, assemblies and sub-assemblies which are sold directly to customers.

The Display Solutions Segment manufactures, sells and installs exterior and interior visual image and display elements, including printed graphics, structural graphics, digital signage, menu board systems, millwork display fixtures, refrigerated displays, food equipment, countertops, and other custom display elements. These products are used in visual image programs in several markets including the refueling and convenience store markets, quick-service and casual restaurant market, retail and grocery store, and other retail markets. The Company accesses its customers primarily through a direct sale model utilizing its own sales force. Sales through distribution represent a small portion of Display Solutions sales. The Display Solutions Segment also provides a variety of project management services to complement our display elements, such as installation management, site surveys, permitting, and content management which are offered to our customers to support our digital signage.

The Company's corporate administration activities are reported in the Corporate and Eliminations line item. These activities primarily include intercompany profit in inventory eliminations, expense related to certain corporate officers and support staff, the Company's internal audit staff, expense related to the Company's Board of Directors, equity compensation expense for various equity awards granted to corporate administration employees, certain consulting expenses, investor relations activities, and a portion of the Company's legal, auditing, and professional fee expenses. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, invested cash (if any), refundable income taxes (if any), and deferred income taxes.

There were no customers or customer programs representing a concentration of 10% or more of the Company's net sales in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, or 2024. There was no concentration of accounts receivable at June 30, 2025, or 2024.

**NOTE 8** — **GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS**

The carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely than not that goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are impaired, or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors, the Company's impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level. The estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate. The estimates of the fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.

The Company identified its reporting units in conjunction with its annual goodwill impairment testing. The Company has a total of five reporting units that contain goodwill. One reporting unit is within the Lighting Segment and four reporting units are within the Display Solutions Segment. The tradename intangible assets have an indefinite life and are also tested separately on an annual basis. The Company relies upon a number of factors, judgments and estimates when conducting its impairment testing including, but not limited to, the Company's stock price, operating results, forecasts, anticipated future cash flows, and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and judgments in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.

------

**<u>Fiscal 2025;</u>**

As of March 1, 2025*,* the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test on the four reporting units that contain goodwill. The goodwill impairment test of the reporting unit in the Lighting Segment passed with a business enterprise value of $30.1 million or 6% above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill. The goodwill impairment test of one reporting unit with goodwill in the Display Solutions Segment passed with an estimated business enterprise value of $22.3 million which is substantially above the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill.

**NOTE 9** — **REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT** 

The Company's long-term debt as of June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30,** | **June 30,** |
| *(In thousands)* | **2025** | **2024** |
| Secured line of credit | $36956 | $38766 |

| Total debt | 48557 | 54229 |
| Less: amounts due within one year | 3571 | 3571 |
| Total amounts due after one year, net | $44986 | $50658 |

---

In September 2021, the Company amended its existing $100 million secured line of credit, to a $25 million term loan and $75 million remaining as a secured revolving line of credit. Both facilities expire in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. The principal of the term loan is repaid annually in the amount of $3.6 million over a five-year period with a balloon payment of the remaining balance due last month. Interest on both the revolving line of credit and the term loan is charged based upon an increment over the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or a base rate, at the Company's option. The base rate is calculated as the highest of (a) the Prime rate, (b) the sum of the Overnight Funding Rate plus 50 basis points and (c) the sum of the Daily SOFR Rate plus 100 basis points. The increment over the SOFR borrowing rate fluctuates between 100 and 225 basis points, and the increment over the Base Rate fluctuates between 0 and 125 basis points, both of which depend upon the ratio of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined in the line of credit agreement. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's borrowing rate against its revolving line of credit was 5.4%. The increment over the SOFR borrowing rate will be 100 basis points for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The fee on the unused balance of the $75 million committed line of credit fluctuates between 15 and 25 basis points. Under the terms of this line of credit, the Company is required to comply with financial covenants that limit the ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA and require a minimum fixed charge ratio. As of June 30, 2025, there was $35.7 million available for borrowing under the $75 million line of credit.

The Company is in compliance with all of its loan covenants as of June 30, 2025.

**NOTE 10** — **CASH DIVIDENDS**

The Company paid cash dividends of $6.0 million and $5.7 million in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. Dividends on restricted stock units in the amount of $0.1 million were accrued for both fiscal years as of June 30, 2025, and 2024. These dividends are paid upon the vesting of the restricted stock units when shares are issued to the award recipients. In August 2025, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable September 10, 2025, to shareholders of record September 2, 2025.

**NOTE 11** — **EQUITY COMPENSATION** 

In November 2019, the Company's shareholders approved the 2019 Omnibus Award Plan (as amended on November 1, 2022, the "2019 Omnibus Plan"). The purpose of the 2019 Omnibus Plan is to provide a means through which the Company may attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means by which directors, officers, and employees can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company. The 2019 Omnibus Plan replaced the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan ("2012 Stock Plan"). The number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2019 Omnibus Plan is 5,000,000 which are combined with the remaining shares available under the 2012 Stock Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2019 Omnibus Plan is 1,361,881 shares all of which are available for future grant or award as of June 30, 2025. The 2019 Omnibus Plan allows for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock units and other stock-based awards.

Inducement awards are granted by the Company to attract and retain key executives. Inducement awards are separately registered securities and are not part of the 2019 Omnibus Plan. In fiscal 2025, 107,217 RSUs and 279,359 PSUs were granted.

***Employee Stock Purchase Plan***

In November of 2021, our board of directors and shareholders approved the LSI Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). A total of 270,000 shares of common stock were provided for issuance under the ESPP. Employees may participate at their discretion and are able to purchase, through payroll deduction, common stock at a 10% discount on a quarterly basis. Employees may end their participation at any time during the offering period, and participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with the company. During fiscal year 2025, employees purchased 17,000 shares. At June 30, 2025, 225,000 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP.

***Stock Options***

The fair value of each option on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the stock options granted in the periods indicated. There were no options granted in fiscal 2025.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **2024** |
| **Dividend yield** | **1.4%** |
| **Expected volatility** | **35%** |
| **Risk-free interest rate** | **0.3%** |
| **Expected life (in years)** | **5.0** |
| **Fair value per share** | $**5.25** |

---

Stock option expense is recorded on a straight-line basis, or sooner if the grantee is retirement eligible as defined in the 2019 Omnibus Plan, net of forfeitures. The forfeiture rate is based on historical rates and reduces the compensation expense recognized. The expected volatility of the Company's stock was calculated based upon the historic monthly fluctuation in stock price for a period approximating the expected life of option grants. The risk-free interest rate is the rate of a five-year Treasury security at constant, fixed maturity on the approximate date of the stock option grant. The expected life of outstanding options is determined to be less than the contractual term for a period equal to the aggregate group of option holders' estimated weighted average time within which options will be exercised. It is the Company's policy that when stock options are exercised, new common shares shall be issued.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Service-based options have a three-year ratable vesting period beginning one year after the date of grant. Inducement stock options have a term of ten years only if the employee is employed for three years from the date of grant. The maximum exercise period of service-based and performance-based stock options granted under the 2019 Omnibus Plan is ten years.

The Company recorded $0.5 million and $0.1 million of expense related to stock options in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Restricted Stock Units***

A total of 107,217 RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $14.93 per share were awarded to employees during fiscal 2025. The RSUs awarded during fiscal 2025 have a three-year vesting period, with one-third vesting on each of the anniversary dates. The Company determined the fair value of the awards based on the closing price of the Company stock on the date the RSUs were awarded. The unvested RSUs are non-voting but accrue cash dividends at the same per share rate as those cash dividends declared and paid on LSI's common stock. Dividends on RSUs in the amount of $88,148 and $113,883 were accrued as of June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Accrued dividends are paid to the holder upon vesting of the RSUs and issuance of shares.

The Company recorded $1.3 million and $1.5 million of expense related to RSUs during fiscal year 2025, and 2024, respectively.

A summary of outstanding and unvested RSU activity as of June 30, 2024, and changes during the period from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, are as follows:

---

------

As of June 30, 2025, there was $1.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of forfeitures, related to RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.5 years. The total fair value of RSUs that became fully vested during fiscal 2025 was $2.2 million.

***Performance Stock Units***

A total of 279,360 PSUs with a weighted average fair value of $12.07 per share were awarded to employees during fiscal 2025. The Company determined the fair value of the awards based on the closing price of the Company stock on the date the PSUs were awarded. PSUs vest if the Company meets certain financial metrics over a three-year period. The PSUs are non-voting but accrue cash dividends at the same per share rate as those cash dividends declared and paid on LSI's common stock.

The Company recorded $2.3 million and $2.2 million of expense related to PSUs during fiscal years 2025, and 2024, respectively.

A summary of outstanding and unvested PSU activity as of June 30, 2025, and changes during the period from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, are as follows:

---

| | | |

---

As of June 30, 2025, there was $2.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of forfeitures, related to PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.0 years.

**<u>Director and Employee Stock Compensation Awards</u>**

The Company awarded a total of 27,264 and 31,608 common shares as stock compensation awards in fiscal years 2025, and 2024, respectively. These common shares were valued at their approximate $0.4 million fair market values based on their stock price at dates of issuance multiplied by the number of common shares awarded, pursuant to the compensation programs for non-employee directors who receive a portion of their compensation as an award of Company stock and for employees who received a nominal recognition award in the form of Company stock. Stock compensation awards are made in the form of newly issued common shares of the Company.

**<u>Deferred Compensation Plan</u>**

The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan providing for both Company matching contributions and participant funded deferrals of compensation. This plan is fully funded in a Rabbi Trust. All plan investments are in common shares of the Company. As of June 30, 2025, there were 26 participants, all with fully vested account balances. A total of 1,052,692 common shares with a cost of $10.1 million, and 1,036,714 common shares with a cost of $8.9 million, both of which included the Company contributions and the participant deferrals, were held in the plan as of June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and, accordingly, have been recorded as treasury shares.

The change in the number of shares held by this plan is the net result of newly issued shares as compensation deferred into the plan offset by distributions to terminated employees. The Company issued 113,176 and 131,226 new common shares for purposes of the non-qualified deferred compensation plan during fiscal 2025, and during fiscal 2024, respectively.

**NOTE 12** — **LEASES** 

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities along with a small office space, several forklifts, several small tooling items, and various items of office equipment. All but two of the Company's leases are operating leases. Leases have a remaining term of one to seven years some of which have an option to renew. The Company does not assume renewals in determining the lease term unless the renewals are deemed reasonably certain. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual guarantees or material variable lease payments. The number of operating leases increased in fiscal 2025 as a result of the acquisition of CBH; most of CBH's operating leases are building leases.

The Company has periodically entered into short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The Company elected not to record these leases on the balance sheet. The rent expense for these leases was immaterial for June 30, 2025, and 2024.

------

The Company has certain leases that contain lease and non-lease components and has elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single lease component.

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate when determining the present value of lease payments.

The Company has deferred tax assets for US research and development credits of $0 and $0.1 million at June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company has Canadian net operating loss carry forward deferred tax assets of $0.1 and $.3 million at June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively.

The Company has state net operating loss carryovers and tax credit deferred tax assets of $0 and $0.1 million at June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively. A valuation allowance of $0.1 million exists at June 30, 2025, against Oregon tax credits not expected to be used. The Oregon credits are otherwise expected to expire over a 4-year period beginning June 30, 2027.

At June 30, 2025, tax, interest, and penalties, net of potential federal tax benefits, were $1.8 million, $0.3 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, of the total reserve for uncertain tax positions of $2.3 million. The entire uncertain tax position of $1.8 million net of federal tax benefit, would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. An uncertain tax position and tax indemnification receivable of $1.1 million was recognized as a result of the CBH acquisition. The liability for uncertain tax position is included in Other Long-Term Liabilities.

------

At June 30, 2024, tax, interest, and penalties, net of potential federal tax benefits, were $0.6 million, $0.3 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, of the total reserve for uncertain tax positions of $1.1 million. The entire uncertain tax position of $0.6 million, net of federal tax benefit, would impact the effective tax rate if recognized.

The Company is recording estimated interest and penalties related to potential underpayment of income taxes as a component of tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized a $0.1 million net tax expense/(benefit) in both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, related to the change in reserves for uncertain tax positions. The Company recognized interest net of federal benefit and penalties of $12,000 and $21,000, respectively, in fiscal 2025, and $17,000 and $37,000, respectively, in fiscal 2024. The reserve for uncertain tax positions is not expected to change significantly in the next twelve months.

The tax activity in the liability for uncertain tax positions was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In thousands)* | **2025** | **2024** |
| Balance at the beginning of the fiscal year | $825 | $656 |
| Decreases - tax positions in prior period | (101) | (63) |
| Increase - tax positions from acquired company | 1149 |  |
| Increase - tax positions in current period | 213 | 232 |
| Balance at end of the fiscal year | $2086 | $825 |

---

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States, and files various combined and separate tax returns in several state and local jurisdictions, and also in Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Barbados, and Puerto Rico. In general, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, state, and local tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years ending prior to June 30, 2022.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. There are a variety of effective dates in the Act and only certain key provisions with financial reporting implications are expected to affect our financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2026. We expect to monetize our capitalized R&D deferred tax asset of $3,885 in the next fiscal year as a result of the recently enacted legislation.

**NOTE 15** — **COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

The Company is party to various negotiations, customer bankruptcies, and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company provides reserves for these matters when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not disclose a range of potential loss because the likelihood of such a loss is remote. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

The Company recorded a $3.4 million contingent liability related to the future earnout payments as part of the acquisition of Canada's Best Holding (CBH). (Refer to Footnote 3.) The $3.4 million represents the value of the earnout converted from its functional currency to USD as of June 30, 2025.

------

**NOTE 16** — **FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

*Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis*

As of June 30, 2025, and 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, receivables, inventory, debt, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values.

The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability assumed with the acquisition of CBH. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within other noncurrent liabilities, totaling $3.4 million at June 30, 2025. The earnout liability is adjusted at fair value quarterly until settled, and changes in fair value will be reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Changes in the earn-out liability measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **(in thousands)**  |
| **Earnout liability at June 30, 2024** | $**-** |
| Addition for acquisition | 3354 |
| **Earnout liability at June 30, 2025** | $**3354** |

**Exhibit 14**

**AMENDED AND RESTATED JUNE 18, 2025**

**LSI INDUSTRIES INC.** 

**CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT** 

**1. Policy Statement** 

The Nasdaq Stock Market rules and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Sarbanes- Oxley Act require that **LSI Industries Inc.** and all of its subsidiary companies, including, but not limited to **JSI Store Fixtures Inc., EMI Industries, LLC, and Canada**'**s Best Holdings** (collectively, the "**Company**," "**LSI**" or "**we**") provide a code of business conduct for all of our directors, officers and employees (the "**Code**"). LSI is committed to being a good corporate citizen. Our policy is to conduct business affairs honestly and in an ethical manner. This Code applies to all of LSI's directors, officers, employees and agents (including consultants), in all locations, and LSI expects all of such persons to meet the standards set forth in this Code. That goal cannot be achieved unless you individually accept your responsibility to promote integrity and demonstrate the highest level of ethical conduct in all of your activities. Activities that may call into question the Company's reputation or integrity should be avoided. We understand that not every situation is black and white. The key to compliance with the Code is exercising good judgment.

Managers set an example for other employees and are often responsible for directing the actions of others. Every manager and supervisor is expected to take necessary actions to ensure compliance with this Code, to provide guidance and assist employees in resolving questions concerning the Code and to permit employees to express any concerns regarding compliance with this Code. No one has the authority to order another employee to act in any manner that is contrary to this Code.

**2. Compliance with Laws and Regulations** 

*LSI seeks to comply with both the letter and spirit of the laws and regulations in all countries in which it operates.* 

LSI is committed to full compliance with the laws and regulations of the cities, states and countries in which it operates. You must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in performing your duties for the Company. Numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations define and establish obligations with which the Company, its employees and agents must comply. Under certain circumstances, local country law may establish requirements that differ from this Code. You are expected to comply with all local country laws in conducting the Company's business. If you violate these laws or regulations in performing your duties for the Company, you not only risk individual indictment, prosecution and penalties, and civil actions and penalties, you also subject the Company to the same risks and penalties. If you violate these laws in performing your duties for the Company, you may be subject to immediate disciplinary action, including possible termination of your employment or affiliation with the Company. As explained below, you should always consult your manager or the Executive Vice President, Human Resources and General Counsel ("**General Counsel**") with any questions about the legality of you or your colleagues' conduct. For additional information regarding reporting suspected violations of this Code, please see Section 11 below.

------

**3. Full, Fair, Accurate, Timely and Understandable Disclosure** 

It is of paramount importance to LSI that all disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("**SEC**"), and in other public communications made by the Company is full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. You must take all steps available to assist the Company in fulfilling these responsibilities consistent with your role within the Company. In particular, you are required to provide prompt and accurate answers to all inquiries made to you in connection with the Company's preparation of its public reports and disclosure.

Any attempt to enter inaccurate or fraudulent information into the Company's accounting system will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

**4. Financial Reporting Responsibilities**

Senior Officers (which includes the CEO, CFO, General Counsel, Chief Accounting Officer and such other persons identified from time to time by the Audit Committee) each bear a special responsibility for promoting integrity throughout the Company. Furthermore, the Senior Officers have a responsibility to foster a culture throughout the Company as a whole that ensures the fair and timely reporting of the Company's results of operations and financial condition and other financial information.

Because of this special role, the Senior Officers are bound by the following Senior Officer Code of Ethics, and by accepting the Code each agrees that he or she will:

Perform his or her duties in an honest and ethical manner.

● Handle all actual or apparent conflicts of interest between his or her personal and professional relationships in an ethical manner.

● Take all necessary actions to ensure full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, government agencies and in other public communications.

● Comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of federal, state and local governments.

● Proactively promote and be an example of ethical behavior in the work environment.

------

Senior Officers are bound by and subject to the Code of Ethical Conduct For Financial Matters which appears at the end of this document.

**5. Insider Trading**

*You should never trade securities on the basis of confidential information acquired through your employment or fiduciary relationship with LSI.* 

You are prohibited under both federal law and Company policy from purchasing or selling Company stock, directly or indirectly, on the basis of material non-public information concerning the Company. Any person possessing material non-public information about the Company must not engage in transactions involving Company securities until this information has been released to the public. Generally, material information is that which would be expected to affect the investment decisions of a reasonable investor or the market price of the stock. You must also refrain from trading in the stock of other publicly held companies, such as existing or potential customers or suppliers, on the basis of material confidential information obtained in the course of your employment or service as a director. It is also illegal to recommend a stock to (i.e., "tip") someone else on the basis of such information. If you have a question concerning appropriateness or legality of a particular securities transaction, consult with the Company's General Counsel. Officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company are subject to additional responsibilities under the Company's insider trading policy, a copy of which has been made available to each such person, and which can be obtained from the Company's General Counsel.

**6. Harassment** 

You should feel safe in the workplace. LSI will not tolerate any harassment by or of its employees.

LSI does not tolerate unlawful harassment or any mistreatment by or of employees, officers, directors, guests, customers or partners in the workplace or in a work-related situation on the basis of sex, race, color, nationality, ethnic, social or national origin, ancestry, citizenship, religion (or belief, where applicable), age, physical or mental disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, political opinion, veteran status, marital status, genetic information or characteristics (or those of a family member), or any other category protected under applicable federal, state, or local law. If you suspect harassment, discrimination, or retaliation has occurred, you are encouraged, and managers are required, to promptly provide a written or oral complaint to the Company's General Counsel or to our Whistleblower Hotline listed below.

**7. Conflicts of Interest and Corporate Opportunities** 

You must avoid any situation in which your personal interests conflict or even appear to conflict with the Company's interests. You owe a duty to the Company not to compromise the Company's legitimate interests and to advance such interests when the opportunity to do so arises in the course of your employment.

------

You shall perform your duties to the Company in an honest and ethical manner. You shall handle all actual or apparent conflicts of interest between your personal and professional relationships in an ethical manner.

You should avoid situations in which your personal, family or financial interests conflict or even appear to conflict with those of the Company. You may not engage in activities that compete with the Company or compromise its interests. You should not take for your own benefit business, investment or other opportunities discovered in the course of employment that you have reason to know would benefit the Company. The following are examples of actual or potential conflicts:

● you, or a member of your family, receive improper personal benefits as a result of your position in the Company;

● you use the Company's property for your personal benefit;

● you engage in activities that interfere with your loyalty to the Company or your ability to perform Company duties or responsibilities effectively;

● you work simultaneously (whether as an employee or a consultant) for a customer, supplier or competitor;

● you, or a member of your family, have a financial interest in a customer, supplier, or competitor which is significant enough to cause divided loyalty with the Company or the appearance of divided loyalty (the significance of a financial interest depends on many factors, such as size of investment in relation to your income, net worth and/or financial needs, your potential to influence decisions that could impact your interests, and the nature of the business or level of competition between the Company and the customer, supplier or competitor);

● you, or a member of your family, acquire an interest in property (such as real estate, patent or other intellectual property rights or securities) in which you have reason to know the Company has, or might have, a legitimate interest;

● you, or a member of your family, receive a loan or a guarantee of a loan from a customer, supplier or competitor (other than a loan from a financial institution made in the ordinary course of business and on an arm's-length basis);

● you divulge or use the Company's confidential information - such as financial data, customer information, or computer programs - for your own personal or business purposes;

------

● you make gifts or payments, or provide special favors, to customers, suppliers or competitors (or their immediate family members) with a value significant enough to cause the customer, supplier or competitor to make a purchase, or take or forego other action, which is beneficial to the Company and which the customer, supplier or competitor would not otherwise have taken; or

● you are given the right to buy stock in other companies or you receive cash or other payments in return for promoting the services of an advisor, such as an investment banker, to the Company.

Neither you, nor members of your immediate family, are permitted to solicit or accept valuable gifts, payments, special favors or other consideration from customers, suppliers or competitors. Any exchange of gifts must be conducted so that there is no appearance of impropriety. Gifts may be given only in compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Conflicts are not always clear-cut. If you become aware of a conflict described above or any other conflict, potential conflict, or have a question as to a potential conflict, you should consult with your manager or the General Counsel, and/or follow the procedures described in Sections 11 and 12 of the Code. If you become involved in a situation that gives rise to an actual conflict, you must inform your supervisor or the General Counsel of the conflict.

**8. Confidentiality** 

All confidential information concerning the Company obtained by you is the property of the Company and must be protected.

Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed. You must maintain the confidentiality of such information entrusted to you by the Company, its customers and its suppliers, except when disclosure is authorized by the Company or required by law.

Examples of confidential information include, but are not limited to: LSI's trade secrets; business trends and projections; information about financial performance; new product or marketing plans; research and development ideas or information; manufacturing processes; information about potential acquisitions, divestitures and investments; stock splits, public or private securities offerings or changes in dividend policies or amounts; significant personnel changes; and existing or potential major contracts, orders, suppliers, customers or finance sources or the loss thereof.

Your obligation with respect to confidential information extends beyond the workplace. In that respect, it applies to communications with your family members and continues to apply even after your employment or director relationship with the Company terminates.

------

**9. Fair Dealing** 

*Our goal is to conduct our business with integrity.* 

You should endeavor to deal honestly with LSI's customers, suppliers, competitors, and employees. Under federal and state laws, LSI is prohibited from engaging in unfair methods of competition, and unfair or deceptive acts and practices. You should not take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair dealing.

Employees, officers, directors and consultants are prohibited from taking any action to improperly influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead the Company's internal or outside auditors or to prevent such persons from performing a diligent audit of the Company's financial statements.

Employees, officers, directors and consultants are prohibited from taking any action to improperly influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead the Company's internal or outside auditors or to prevent such persons from performing a diligent audit of the Company's financial statements.

Examples of prohibited conduct include, but are not limited to:

● bribery or payoffs to induce business or breaches of contracts by others;

● acquiring a competitor's trade secrets through bribery or theft;

● making false, deceptive or disparaging claims or comparisons about competitors or their products or services; or

● mislabeling products or services.

**10. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets** 

*You should endeavor to protect LSI*'*s assets and ensure their proper use.* 

Company assets, both tangible and intangible, are to be used only for legitimate business purposes of the Company and only by authorized employees or consultants. Intangible assets include intellectual property such as trade secrets, patents, trademarks and copyrights, business, marketing and service plans, engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, Company records, salary information, and any unpublished financial data and reports. Unauthorized alteration, destruction, use, disclosure or distribution of Company assets violates Company policy and this Code. Theft or waste of, or carelessness in using, these assets have a direct adverse impact on the Company's operations and profitability and will not be tolerated.

------

The Company provides computers, voice mail, electronic mail (e-mail), and Internet access to certain employees for the purpose of achieving the Company's business objectives. As a result, the Company has the right to access, reprint, publish, or retain any information created, sent or contained in any of the Company's computers or e-mail systems of any Company machine. You may not use email, the Internet or voice mail for any illegal purpose or in any manner that is contrary to the Company's policies or the standards embodied in this Code.

**11. Reporting Violations of Company Policies and Receipt of Complaints Regarding Financial Reporting or Accounting Issues** 

*You should report any violation or suspected violation of this Code to the appropriate LSI personnel or via our anonymous and confidential reporting procedures.* 

LSI's efforts to ensure observance of, and adherence to, the goals and policies outlined in this Code mandate that you promptly bring to the attention of the CFO, the General Counsel or, if appropriate, the Chair of the Audit Committee, any material transaction, relationship, act, failure to act, occurrence or practice that you believe, in good faith, is inconsistent with, in violation of, or reasonably could be expected to give rise to a violation of, this Code. You should report any suspected violations of the Company's financial reporting obligations or any complaints or concerns about questionable accounting or auditing practices in accordance with the procedures set forth below.

Here are some approaches to handling your reporting obligations:

● In the event you believe a violation of the Code or a violation of applicable laws and/or governmental regulations has occurred, or you have observed or become aware of conduct which appears to be contrary to the Code, immediately report the situation to your supervisor, the General Counsel, or the Chair of the Audit Committee. Supervisors or managers who receive any report of a suspected violation must report the matter to the General Counsel.

● If you have or receive notice of a complaint or concern regarding the Company's financial disclosure, accounting practices, internal accounting controls, auditing, or questionable accounting or auditing matters, you must immediately advise your supervisor, the CFO, the General Counsel or the Chair of the Audit Committee.

------

● If you wish to report any such matters anonymously or confidentially, then you may do so as follows:

Mail a description of the suspected violation or other complaint or concern to:<br> LSI Industries Inc.<br> 10000 Alliance Road<br> Cincinnati, Ohio 45242<br> Attention: Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel<br>**<u>or</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Contact the Company's Senior Vice President, Human Resources and General Counsel at (513) 372-3273.

**<u>or</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Report the matter anonymously through the mechanisms established by the Company's Whistleblowing Ethics Policy, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Through the Toll Free Hotline: 1-877-225-0471

● <u>Use common sense and good judgment; Act in good faith</u>. You are expected to become familiar with and to understand the requirements of the Code. If you become aware of a suspected violation, don't try to investigate it or resolve it on your own. Prompt disclosure to the appropriate parties is vital to ensuring a thorough and timely investigation and resolution. The circumstances should be reviewed by appropriate personnel as promptly as possible, and delay may affect the results of any investigation. A violation of the Code, or of applicable laws and/or governmental regulations is a serious matter and could have legal implications. Allegations of such behavior are not taken lightly and should not be made to embarrass someone or put him or her in a false light. Reports of suspected violations should always be made in good faith.

● <u>Internal investigation</u>. When an alleged violation of the Code, applicable laws and/or governmental regulations is reported, LSI will take appropriate action in accordance with the compliance procedures outlined in Section 12 of the Code. You are expected to cooperate in internal investigations of alleged misconduct or violations of the Code or of applicable laws or regulations.

------

● <u>No fear of retaliation</u>. The Company strictly prohibits retaliation, discrimination or harassment of any kind by any Company officer, director, employee or agent against any person who provides truthful information to a Company or law enforcement official concerning a possible violation of any law, regulation or Company policy, including this Code. Persons who retaliate, discriminate or harass may be subject to civil, criminal and administrative penalties, as well as disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. In cases in which you report a suspected violation in good faith and are not engaged in the questionable conduct, the Company will attempt to keep its discussions with you confidential to the extent reasonably possible. In the course of its investigation, the Company may find it necessary to share information with others on a "need to know" basis. No retaliation shall be taken against you for reporting alleged violations while acting in good faith.

**12. Compliance Procedures** 

The Company has established this Code as part of its overall policies and procedures. To the extent that other Company policies and procedures conflict with this Code, you should follow this Code. The Code applies to all Company directors and Company employees, including all officers, in all locations.

The Code is based on LSI's core values, good business practices and applicable law. The existence of a Code, however, does not ensure that directors, officers and employees will comply with it or act in a legal and ethical manner. To achieve optimal legal and ethical behavior, the individuals subject to the Code must know and understand the Code as it applies to them and as it applies to others. You must champion the Code and assist others in knowing and understanding it.

● <u>Compliance</u>. You are expected to become familiar with and understand the requirements of the Code. Most importantly, you must comply with it.

● <u>CEO Responsibility</u>. The Company's CEO shall be responsible for ensuring that the Code is established and effectively communicated to all employees, officers and directors. Although the day-to-day compliance issues will be the responsibility of the Company's managers and the General Counsel, the CEO has ultimate accountability with respect to the overall implementation of and successful compliance with the Code.

● <u>Corporate Compliance Management</u>. The General Counsel will act as the primary compliance officer for the Code. The General Counsel will, with the assistance and cooperation of the Company's officers, directors and managers, foster an atmosphere where employees are comfortable in communicating and/or reporting concerns and possible Code violations. If the General Counsel is not available, the CFO shall serve as the Code's compliance officer.

------

● <u>Internal Reporting of Violations</u>. The Company's efforts to ensure observance of, and adherence to, the goals and policies outlined in this Code, mandate that all employees, officers and directors of the Company report suspected violations in accordance with Section 11 of this Code.

● <u>Screening of Employees</u>. The Company shall exercise due diligence when hiring and promoting employees and, in particular, when conducting an employment search for a position involving the exercise of substantial discretionary authority, such as a member of the executive team, a senior management position or an employee with financial management responsibilities. The Company shall make reasonable inquiries into the background of each individual who is a candidate for such a position. All such inquiries shall be made in accordance with applicable law and good business practice.

● <u>Access to the Code</u>. The Company shall ensure that employees, consultants, officers and directors may access the Code on the Company's website. In addition, each current employee will be provided with a copy of the Code. New employees will receive a copy of the Code as part of their new hire information. From time to time, the Company will sponsor employee training programs in which the Code and other Company policies and procedures will be discussed.

● <u>Monitoring.</u> The officers of the Company shall be responsible for reviewing the Code with all of the Company's managers. In turn, the Company's managers with supervisory responsibilities should review the Code with his/her direct reports. Managers are the "go to" persons for employee questions and concerns relating to the Code, especially in the event of a potential violation. Managers or supervisors will immediately report any violations or allegations of violations to the General Counsel. Managers will work with the General Counsel in assessing areas of concern, potential violations, any needs for enhancement of the Code or remedial actions to effect the Code's policies and overall compliance with the Code and other related policies.

● <u>Auditing</u>. An internal audit team selected by the Audit Committee will be responsible for auditing the Company's compliance with the Code.

------

● <u>Internal Investigation</u>. When an alleged violation of the Code is reported, the Company shall take prompt and appropriate action in accordance with applicable law and regulations and otherwise consistent with good business practice. If the suspected violation appears to involve either a possible violation of law or an issue of significant corporate interest, or if the report involves a complaint or concern of any person, whether employee, a shareholder or other interested person regarding the Company's financial disclosure, internal accounting controls, questionable auditing or accounting matters or practices or other issues relating to the Company's accounting or auditing, then the manager or investigator should immediately notify the CFO or General Counsel, who, in turn, shall notify the CEO and/or Chair of the Audit Committee, as applicable. If a suspected violation involves any director or executive officer or if the suspected violation concerns any fraud, whether or not material, involving management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company's internal controls, any person who received such report should immediately report the alleged violation to the CFO, the General Counsel, and, if appropriate, the CEO, and, in every such case, the Chair of the Audit Committee. The CFO, General Counsel or the Chair of the Audit Committee, as applicable, shall assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action. At a point in the process consistent with the need not to compromise the investigation, a person who is suspected of a violation shall be apprised of the alleged violation and shall have an opportunity to provide a response to the investigator.

● <u>Disciplinary Actions</u>. Subject to the following sentence, the General Counsel, after consultation with the CEO, shall be responsible for implementing the appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with the Company's policies and procedures for any employee who is found to have violated the Code. If a violation has been reported to the Audit Committee or another committee of the Board, that Committee shall be responsible for determining appropriate disciplinary action. Any violation of applicable law or any deviation from the standards embodied in this Code will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Any employee engaged in the exercise of substantial discretionary authority, including any Senior Officer, who is found to have engaged in a violation of law or unethical conduct in connection with the performance of his or her duties for the Company, shall be removed from his or her position and not assigned to any other position involving the exercise of substantial discretionary authority. In addition to imposing discipline upon employees involved in non-compliant conduct, the Company also will impose discipline, as appropriate, upon an employee's supervisor, if any, who directs or approves such employees' improper actions, or is aware of those actions but does not act appropriately to correct them, and upon other individuals who fail to report known non-compliant conduct. In addition to imposing its own discipline, the Company will bring any violations of law to the attention of appropriate law enforcement personnel.

● <u>Retention of Reports and Complaints</u>. All reports and complaints made to or received by the CFO, General Counsel or the Chair of the Audit Committee shall be logged into a record maintained for this purpose by the General Counsel and this record of such report shall be retained for five (5) years.

● <u>Required Government Reporting</u>. Whenever conduct occurs that requires a report to the government, the CFO and General Counsel shall be responsible for complying with such reporting requirements.

------

● <u>Corrective Actions</u>. Subject to the following sentence, in the event of a violation of the Code, the manager, the CFO and the General Counsel should assess the situation to determine whether the violation demonstrates a problem that requires remedial action as to Company policies and procedures. If a violation has been reported to the Audit Committee or another committee of the Board, that committee shall be responsible for determining appropriate remedial or corrective actions. Such corrective action may include providing revised public disclosure, retraining Company employees, modifying Company policies and procedures, improving monitoring of compliance under existing procedures and other action necessary to detect similar non-compliant conduct and prevent it from occurring in the future. Such corrective action shall be documented, as appropriate.

**13. Publication of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; Amendments and Waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics** 

The most current version of this Code will be posted and maintained on the Company's website and posting of the Code will be disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, by reference to the Company's proxy statement, if permitted by SEC rules, shall disclose that substantive amendments and waivers with respect to officers will also be posted on the Company's website.

Any substantive amendment or waiver of this Code (i.e., a material departure from the requirements of any provision) particularly applicable to or directed at executive officers or directors may be made only after approval by the Board of Directors after receiving a recommendation from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and will be disclosed within four (4) business days of such action (a) on the Company's website for a period of not less than twelve (12) months or (b) in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC (or such other means then required by listing standards of the Nasdaq or applicable law). Such disclosure shall include the reasons for any waiver.
