PART I Item 1. Business Standex International Corporation was incorporated in 1975 and is the successor of a corporation organized in 1955. As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Standex” mean Standex International Corporation and its subsidiaries. We have paid dividends each quarter since Standex became a public corporation in November 1964. Unless otherwise noted, references to years are to fiscal years. We are a leading manufacturer of a variety of products and services for diverse commercial and industrial markets. We have 11 operating segments, aggregated and organized for reporting purposes into five segments: Food Service Equipment, Engraving, Engineering Technologies, Electronics and Hydraulics. Overall management, strategic development and financial control are maintained by the executive staff from our corporate headquarters located in Salem, New Hampshire. Our corporate long term strategy has several primary components to build larger industrial platforms through a value creation system that assists management in meeting specific corporate and business unit financial and strategic performance goals in order to create and sustain shareholder value. The Balanced Performance Plan process aligns annual goals throughout the business and provides a standard reporting, management and review process. It is focused on setting and meeting annual and quarterly targets that support our short term and long term goals. The 2 Standex Growth Disciplines use a set of tools and processes including market maps, growth lane ways, and market tests to identify opportunities to expand the business organically and through acquisitions. Standex Operational Excellence employs a standard playbook and processes, including LEAN, to eliminate waste and improve profitability, cash flow and customer satisfaction. Finally, the Standex Talent Management is an organizational development process that provides training, development, and succession planning for our employees throughout our worldwide organization. The Standex Value Creation System provides standard tools and processes throughout Standex to deliver our business objectives: It is our objective to grow larger and more profitable business units through both organic initiatives and acquisitions. On an ongoing basis we identify and implement organic growth initiatives such as new product development, geographic expansion, introduction of products and technologies into new markets and applications, key accounts and strategic sales channel partners. Also, we have a long-term objective to create sizable business platforms by adding strategically aligned or “bolt on” acquisitions to strengthen the individual businesses, create both sales and cost synergies with our core business platforms, and accelerate their growth and margin improvement. We have a particular focus on identifying and investing in opportunities that complement our products and will increase the global presence and capabilities of our businesses. From time to time we have divested and likely will continue to divest businesses that we feel are not strategic or do not meet our growth and return expectations. We create “Customer Intimacy” by utilizing the Standex Growth Disciplines to partner with our customers in order to develop and deliver custom solutions or engineered components that solve problems for our customers or otherwise meet their needs. This relationship generally provides us with the ability to improve sales and profit growth over time and provide operating margins that enhance shareholder returns. Further, we have made a priority of developing new sales channels and leveraging strategic customer relationships. Standex Operational Excellence drives continuous improvement in the efficiency of our businesses. We recognize that our businesses are competing in a global economy that requires us to improve our competitive position. We have deployed a number of management competencies to drive improvements in the cost structure of our business units including operational excellence through lean enterprise, the use of low cost manufacturing facilities in countries such as Mexico, and China. The consolidation of manufacturing facilities to achieve economies of scale and leveraging of fixed infrastructure costs, alternate sourcing to achieve procurement cost reductions, and capital improvements to increase shop floor productivity. The Company’s strong historical cash flow has been a cornerstone for funding our capital allocation strategy. We use cash flow generated from operations to fund the strategic growth programs described above, (including acquisitions and investments for organic growth), and to return cash to our shareholders through payment of dividends and stock buybacks.

Our flexible design capability and global supply chain enable us to be successful in our expansion efforts. Our team is dedicated to superior customer service through our technical engineering support and on-time delivery. Raw Materials Raw materials and components necessary for the manufacture of our products are generally available from numerous sources. Generally, we are not dependent on a single source of raw materials and supplies. We do not foresee unavailability of materials or supplies which would have a significant adverse effect on any of our businesses, nor any of our segments, in the near term. Seasonality We are a diversified business with generally low levels of seasonality; however, our fiscal third quarter is typically the period with the lowest level of sales volume. Patents and Trademarks We hold approximately 39 United States patents and patents pending covering processes, methods and devices and approximately 43 United States trademarks. Many counterparts of these patents have also been registered in various foreign countries. In addition, we have various foreign registered and common law trademarks. Due to the diversity of our businesses and the markets served, the loss of any single patent or trademark would not, in our opinion, materially affect any individual segment. While we believe that many of our patents are important, we credit our competitive position in our niche markets to customer intimacy, engineering capabilities, manufacturing techniques and skills, marketing and sales promotions, service and the delivery of quality products. 6 Customers Our business is not dependent upon a single customer or a few large customers, the loss of any one of which would not have a material adverse effect on our operations. No customer accounted for more than 5% of our consolidated revenue in fiscal 2016 or any of the years presented. Working Capital Our primary source of working capital is the cash generated from continuing operations. No segments require any special working capital needs outside of the normal course of business. 7 Backlog Backlog includes all active or open orders for goods and services that have a firm fixed customer purchase order with defined delivery dates. Backlog also includes any future deliveries based on executed customer contracts, so long as such deliveries are based on agreed upon delivery schedules. Backlog is not generally a significant factor in the Company’s businesses because of our relatively short delivery periods and rapid inventory turnover with the exception of Engineering Technologies. Due to the nature of long term agreements in the Engineering Technologies segment, the timing of orders and delivery dates can vary considerably resulting in significant backlog changes from one period to another. Backlog orders in place at June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows (in thousands): Food Service Equipment Engraving Engineering Technologies Electronics Hydraulics Total Net realizable beyond one year Net realizable within one year 2016 37,202 19,046 90,241 44,713 4,951 196,153 33,257 162,896 $ $ 2015 46,147 18,992 93,012 38,445 4,776 201,372 33,215 168,157 $ $ Backlog realizable within one year decreased $5.3 million, or 3.1%, to $162.9 million at June 30, 2016 from $168.2 million at June 30, 2015. The backlog decrease of $8.9 million in Food Service Equipment resulted primarily from lower demand in the refrigeration markets. The increase in Electronics backlog of $6.3 million is primarily a result of the recently acquired Northlake business. Competition Standex manufactures and markets products many of which have achieved a unique or leadership position in their market. However, we encounter competition in varying degrees in all product groups and for each product line. Competitors include domestic and foreign producers of the same and similar products. The principal methods of competition are product performance and technology, price, delivery schedule, quality of services, and other terms and conditions. International Operations We have international operations in all of our business segments. International operations are conducted at 60 locations, in Europe, Canada, China, India, Southeast Asia, Korea, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa. See the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for international operations financial data. Our international operations contributed approximately 27% of operating revenues in 2016 and 2015. International operations are subject to certain inherent risks in connection with the conduct of business in foreign countries including, exchange controls, price controls, limitations on participation in local enterprises, nationalizations, expropriation and other governmental action, restrictions of repatriation of earnings, and changes in currency exchange rates. Research and Development Developing new and improved products, broadening the application of established products, continuing efforts to improve our methods, processes, and equipment continues to drive our success. However, due to the nature of our manufacturing operations and the types of products manufactured, expenditures for research and development are not significant to any individual segment or in the aggregate. Research and development costs are quantified in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We develop and design new products to meet customer needs in order to offer enhanced products or to provide customized solutions for customers. Environmental Matters 8 Based on our knowledge and current known facts, we believe that we are presently in substantial compliance with all existing applicable environmental laws and regulations and do not anticipate any instances of non-compliance that will have a material effect on our future capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Financial Information about Geographic Areas Information regarding revenues from external customers attributed to the United States, all foreign countries and any individual foreign country, if material, is contained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for “Industry Segment Information.” Number of Employees As of June 30, 2016, we employed approximately 5,300 employees of which approximately 2,100 were in the United States. About 300 of our U.S. employees were represented by unions. Approximately 44% of our production workforce is situated in low-cost manufacturing regions such as Mexico, Brazil and Asia.

Item 1A. Risk Factors An investment in the Company’s common shares involves various risks, including those mentioned below and those that are discussed from time to time in our other periodic filings with the SEC. Investors should carefully consider these risks, along with the other information filed in this report, before making an investment decision regarding our common shares. All of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and/or value of our common shares. A deterioration in the domestic and international economic environment could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Recessionary economic conditions coupled with a tightening of credit could adversely impact major markets served by our businesses, including cyclical markets such as automotive, heavy construction vehicle, general industrial and food service. An economic recession could adversely affect our business by: • • • • • • • • • reducing demand for our products and services, particularly in markets where demand for our products and services is cyclical; causing delays or cancellations of orders for our products or services; reducing capital spending by our customers; increasing price competition in our markets; increasing difficulty in collecting accounts receivable; increasing the risk of excess or obsolete inventories; increasing the risk of impairment to long-lived assets due to reduced use of manufacturing facilities; increasing the risk of supply interruptions that would be disruptive to our manufacturing processes; and reducing the availability of credit for our customers. We rely on our credit facility to provide us with sufficient capital to operate our businesses. We rely on our revolving credit facility to provide us with sufficient capital to operate our businesses. The availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility is dependent upon our compliance with the covenants set forth in the facility, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. Our ability to comply with these covenants is dependent upon our future performance, which is subject to economic conditions in our markets along with factors that are beyond our control. Violation of those covenants could result in our lenders restricting or terminating our borrowing ability under our credit facility, cause us to be liable for covenant waiver fees or other obligations, or trigger an event of default under the terms of our credit facility, which could result in acceleration of the debt under the facility and require prepayment of the debt before its due date. Even if new financing is available 10 in the event of a default under our current credit facility, the interest rate charged on any new borrowing could be substantially higher than under the current credit facility, thus adversely affecting our overall financial condition. If our lenders reduce or terminate our access to amounts under our credit facility, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our working capital needs or we may need to secure additional capital or financing to fund our working capital requirements or to repay outstanding debt under our credit facility. Our credit facility contains covenants that restrict our activities. Our revolving credit facility contains covenants that restrict our activities, including our ability to: • • • • • incur additional indebtedness; make investments; create liens; pay cash dividends to shareholders unless we are in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the credit facility; and sell material assets. Our global operations subject us to international business risks. We operate in 54 locations outside of the United States in Europe, Canada, China, India, Singapore, Korea, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, Malaysia, and South Africa. If we are unable to successfully manage the risks inherent to the operation and expansion of our global businesses, those risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Those international business risks include: • • • • • • • • • fluctuations in currency exchange rates; changes in government regulations; restrictions on repatriation of earnings; import and export controls; political, social and economic instability; potential adverse tax consequences; difficulties in staffing and managing multi-national operations; difficulties in our ability to enforce legal rights and remedies; and changes in regulatory requirements. Failure to achieve expected savings and synergies could adversely impact our operating profits and cash flows. We focus on improving profitability through LEAN enterprise, low cost sourcing and manufacturing initiatives, improving working capital management, developing new and enhanced products, consolidating factories where appropriate, automating manufacturing processes, diversification efforts and completing acquisitions which deliver synergies to supplement sales and growth. If we were unable to successfully execute these programs, this failure could adversely affect our operating profits and cash flows. In addition, actions we may take to consolidate manufacturing operations to achieve cost savings or adjust to market developments may result in restructuring charges that adversely affect our profits. Violation of anti-bribery or similar laws by our employees, business partners or agents could result in fines, penalties, damage to our reputation or other adverse consequences. We cannot assure that our internal controls, code of conduct and training of our employees will provide complete protection from reckless or criminal acts of our employees, business partners or agents that might violate US or international laws relating to anti-bribery or similar topics. An action resulting in a violation of these laws could subject us to civil or criminal investigations that could result in substantial civil or criminal fines and penalties and which could damage our reputation. We face significant competition in our markets and, if we are not able to respond to competition in our markets, our net sales, profits and cash flows could decline. 11 Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. In order to effectively compete, we must retain long standing relationships with significant customers, offer attractive pricing, develop enhancements to products that offer performance features that are superior to our competitors and which maintain our brand recognition, continue to automate our manufacturing capabilities, continue to grow our business by establishing relationships with new customers, diversify into emerging markets and penetrate new markets. If we are unable to compete effectively, our net sales, profitability and cash flows could decline. Pricing pressures resulting from competition may adversely affect our net sales and profitability. If we are unable to successfully introduce new products and product enhancements, our future growth could be impaired. Our ability to develop new products and innovations to satisfy customer needs or demands in the markets we serve can affect our competitive position and often requires significant investment of resources. Difficulties or delays in research, development or production of new products and services or failure to gain market acceptance of new products and technologies may significantly reduce future net sales and adversely affect our competitive position. Increased prices or significant shortages of the commodities that we use in our businesses could result in lower net sales, profits and cash flows. We purchase large quantities of steel, refrigeration components, freight services, foam insulation and other metal commodities for the manufacture of our products. Historically, prices for commodities have fluctuated, and we are unable to enter into long term contracts or other arrangements to hedge the risk of price increases in many of these commodities. Significant price increases for these commodities could adversely affect our operating profits if we cannot timely mitigate the price increases by successfully sourcing lower cost commodities or by passing the increased costs on to customers. Shortages or other disruptions in the supply of these commodities could delay sales or increase costs. An inability to identify or complete future acquisitions could adversely affect our future growth. As part of our growth strategy, we intend to pursue acquisitions that provide opportunities for profitable growth for our businesses and which enable us to leverage our competitive strengths. While we continue to evaluate potential acquisitions, we may not be able to identify and successfully negotiate suitable acquisitions, obtain financing for future acquisitions on satisfactory terms, obtain regulatory approval for certain acquisitions or otherwise complete acquisitions in the future. An inability to identify or complete future acquisitions could limit our future growth. We may experience difficulties in integrating acquisitions. Integration of acquired companies involves a number of risks, including: • • • • • inability to operate acquired businesses profitably; failure to accomplish strategic objectives for those acquisitions; unanticipated costs relating to acquisitions or to the integration of the acquired businesses; difficulties in achieving planned cost savings synergies and growth opportunities; and possible future impairment charges for goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets that are recorded as a result of acquisitions. Additionally, our level of indebtedness may increase in the future if we finance acquisitions with debt, which would cause us to incur additional interest expense and could increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and limit our ability to service our debt or obtain additional financing. We cannot assure that future acquisitions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Impairment charges could reduce our profitability. We test goodwill and our other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. 12 Various uncertainties, including continued adverse conditions in the capital markets or changes in general economic conditions, could impact the future operating performance at one or more of our businesses which could significantly affect our valuations and could result in additional future impairments. The recognition of an impairment of a significant portion of goodwill would negatively affect our results of operations and could be a material effect to us. Material adverse or unforeseen legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could have an adverse impact on our profits and cash flows. We are and may, from time to time, become a party to legal proceedings incidental to our businesses, including, but not limited to, alleged claims relating to product liability, environmental compliance, patent infringement, commercial disputes and employment matters. In accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, we have established reserves based on our assessment of contingencies. Subsequent developments in legal proceedings may affect our assessment and estimates of loss contingencies recorded as reserves which could require us to record additional reserves or make material payments which could adversely affect our profits and cash flows. Even the successful defense of legal proceedings may cause us to incur substantial legal costs and may divert management's time and resources away from our businesses. The costs of complying with existing or future environmental regulations, and of correcting any violations of these regulations, could increase our expenses and reduce our profitability. We are subject to a variety of environmental laws relating to the storage, discharge, handling, emission, generation, use and disposal of chemicals, hazardous waste and other toxic and hazardous materials used to manufacture, or resulting from the process of manufacturing, our products. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of regulatory requirements to which our operations might be subject or the manner in which existing or future laws will be administered or interpreted. We are also exposed to potential legacy environmental risks relating to businesses we no longer own or operate. Future regulations could be applied to materials, products or activities that have not been subject to regulation previously. The costs of complying with new or more stringent regulations, or with more vigorous enforcement of these or existing regulations, could be significant. In addition, properly permitted waste disposal facilities used by us as a legal and legitimate repository for hazardous waste may in the future become mismanaged or abandoned without our knowledge or involvement. In such event, legacy landfill liability could attach to or be imposed upon us in proportion to the waste deposited at any disposal facility. Environmental laws require us to maintain and comply with a number of permits, authorizations and approvals and to maintain and update training programs and safety data regarding materials used in our processes. Violations of these requirements could result in financial penalties and other enforcement actions. We could be required to halt one or more portions of our operations until a violation is cured. Although we attempt to operate in compliance with these environmental laws, we may not succeed in this effort at all times. The costs of curing violations or resolving enforcement actions that might be initiated by government authorities could be substantial. Strategic divestitures could negatively affect our results and contingent liabilities from businesses that we have sold could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We have retained responsibility for some of the known and unknown contingent liabilities related to a number of businesses we have sold, such as lawsuits, tax liabilities, product liability claims, and environmental matters and have agreed to indemnify purchasers of these businesses for certain of those contingent liabilities. The trading price of our common stock has been volatile, and investors in our common stock may experience substantial losses. The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and may become volatile again in the future. The trading price of our common stock could decline or fluctuate in response to a variety of factors, including: • our failure to meet the performance estimates of securities analysts; 13 • • • • • • changes in financial estimates of our net sales and operating results or buy/sell recommendations by securities analysts; fluctuations in our quarterly operating results; substantial sales of our common stock; changes in the amount or frequency of our payment of dividends or repurchases of our common stock; general stock market conditions; or other economic or external factors. Decreases in discount rates and actual rates of return could require future pension contributions to our pension plans which could limit our flexibility in managing our Company. Key assumptions inherent in our actuarially calculated pension plan obligations and pension plan expense are the discount rate and the expected rate of return on plan assets. If discount rates and actual rates of return on invested plan assets were to decrease significantly, our pension plan obligations could increase materially. Although our pension plans have been frozen, the size of future required pension contributions could require us to dedicate a greater portion of our cash flow from operations to making contributions, which could negatively impact our financial flexibility. Our business could be negatively impacted by cybersecurity threats, information systems and network interruptions, and other security threats or disruptions. Our information technology networks and related systems are critical to the operation of our business and essential to our ability to successfully perform day-to-day operations. Cybersecurity threats in particular, are persistent, evolve quickly, and include, but are not limited to, computer viruses, attempts to access information, denial of service and other electronic security breaches. These events could disrupt our operations or customers and other third party IT systems in which we are involved and could negatively impact our reputation among our customers and the public which could have a negative impact on our financial conditions, results of operations, or liquidity. Various restrictions in our charter documents, Delaware law and our credit agreement could prevent or delay a change in control of us that is not supported by our board of directors. We are subject to a number of provisions in our charter documents, Delaware law and our credit facility that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or change of control that a stockholder may consider favorable. These anti-takeover provisions include: • • • • • maintaining a classified board and imposing advance notice procedures for nominations of candidates for election as directors and for stockholder proposals to be considered at stockholders' meetings; a provision in our certificate of incorporation that requires the approval of the holders of 80% of the outstanding shares of our common stock to adopt any agreement of merger, the sale of substantially all of the assets of Standex to a third party or the issuance or transfer by Standex of voting securities having a fair market value of $1 million or more to a third party, if in any such case such third party is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, unless the transaction has been approved prior to its consummation by all of our directors; requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of our common stock for stockholders to amend our amended and restated by-laws; covenants in our credit facility restricting mergers, asset sales and similar transactions; and the Delaware anti-takeover statute contained in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. 14 Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a merger, consolidation, asset sale or other similar business combination between Standex and any stockholder of 15% or more of our voting stock for a period of three years after the stockholder acquires 15% or more of our voting stock, unless (1) the transaction is approved by our board of directors before the stockholder acquires 15% or more of our voting stock, (2) upon completing the transaction the stockholder owns at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the commencement of the transaction, or (3) the transaction is approved by our board of directors and the holders of 66 2/3% of our voting stock, excluding shares of our voting stock owned by the stockholder. 15 Item 1B.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview We are a leading manufacturer of a variety of products and services for diverse commercial and industrial markets. We have five reportable segments: Food Service Equipment, Engraving, Engineering Technologies, Electronics, and the Hydraulics. Our long term strategy is to build larger industrial platforms through a value creation system that assists management in meeting specific corporate and business unit financial and strategic performance goals in order to create, improve, and enhance shareholder value. The Standex Value Creation System is a standard methodology which provides consistent tools used throughout the company in order to achieve our organization’s goals. The value creation system has four components. The Balanced Performance Plan process aligns annual goals throughout the business and provides a standard reporting, management and review process. It is focused on setting and meeting annual and quarterly targets that support our short term and long term goals. The Standex Growth Disciplines use a set of tools and processes including market maps, growth lane ways, and market tests to identify opportunities to expand the business organically and through acquisitions. Standex Operational Excellence employs a standard playbook and processes, including LEAN, to eliminate waste and improve profitability, cash flow and customer satisfaction. Finally, the Standex Talent Management process is an organizational development process that provides training, development, and succession planning for our employees throughout our worldwide organization. The Standex Value Creation System ties all disciplines in the organization together under a common umbrella by providing standard tools and processes to deliver our business objectives: It is our objective to grow larger and more profitable business units through both organic initiatives and acquisitions. On an ongoing basis we identify and implement organic growth initiatives such as new product development, geographic expansion, introduction of products and technologies into new markets and applications, key accounts and strategic sales channel partners. Also, we have a long-term objective to create sizable business platforms by adding strategically aligned or “bolt on” acquisitions to strengthen the individual businesses, create both sales and cost synergies with our core business platforms, and accelerate their growth and margin improvement. We have a particular focus on identifying and investing in opportunities that complement our products and will increase the global presence and capabilities of our 20 businesses. From time to time we have divested and likely will continue to divest businesses that we feel are not strategic or do not meet our growth and return expectations. As part of this ongoing strategy, during fiscal year 2016, we acquired Northlake Engineering, Inc., a designer, manufacturer and distributor of high reliability magnetics serving the North American power distribution and medical equipment markets. This investment complements our Electronics segment and allows us to provide broader solutions to our customers. Subsequent to our fiscal 2016 year-end, we sold our U.S. Roll Plate and Machinery business as it was not strategic, and did not meet our growth and return expectations. This divestiture also allows our Engraving management to focus on higher growth and better return businesses within the segment. We create “Customer Intimacy” by utilizing the Standex Growth Disciplines to partner with our customers in order to develop and deliver custom solutions or engineered components that provide technology-driven solutions to our customers. This relationship generally provides us with the ability to improve sales and profit growth over time and provide operating margins that enhance shareholder returns. Further, we have made a priority of developing new sales channels and leveraging strategic customer relationships. Standex Operational Excellence drives continuous improvement in the efficiency of our businesses. We recognize that our businesses are competing in a global economy that requires us to improve our competitive position. We have deployed a number of management competencies to drive improvements in cost structure of our business units including operational excellence through lean enterprise, the use of low cost manufacturing facilities in countries such as Mexico, and China, the consolidation of manufacturing facilities to achieve economies of scale and leveraging of fixed infrastructure costs, alternate sourcing to achieve procurement cost reductions, and capital improvements to increase shop floor productivity. The Company’s strong historical cash flow has been a cornerstone for funding our capital allocation strategy. We use cash flow generated from operations to fund the strategic growth programs described above, (including acquisitions and investments for organic growth), and to return cash to our shareholders through payment of dividends and stock buybacks. Our business units are actively engaged in initiating new product introductions, expansion of product offerings through private labeling and sourcing agreements, geographic expansion of sales coverage, the development of new sales channels, leveraging strategic customer relationships, development of energy efficient products, new applications for existing products and technologies, and next generation products and services for our end-user markets. Restructuring expenses reflect costs associated with the Company’s efforts to continuously improve operational efficiency and expand globally in order to remain competitive in the end-user markets we serve. Each year the Company incurs costs for actions to size its businesses to a level appropriate for current economic conditions and to improve its cost structure to enhance our competitive position and operating margins. Such expenses include costs for moving facilities to low-cost locations, starting up plants after relocation, or downsizing operations because of changing economic conditions, and other costs resulting from asset redeployment decisions. Shutdown costs include severance, benefits, stay bonuses, lease and contract terminations, asset write-downs, costs of moving fixed assets, moving, and relocation costs. Vacant facility costs include maintenance, utilities, property taxes, and other costs. We continue to focus on our efforts to reduce cost and improve productivity across our businesses. Our refrigeration division and businesses that serve the oil and gas industry have both been negatively impacted by reduced customer spending and customer consolidation. Due to these changing market conditions and consolidations we have and will continue to implement appropriate cost reductions to align our costs to appropriate sales levels. We continue to evaluate our products and production processes and expect to execute similar cost reductions and restructuring programs on an ongoing basis. Because of the diversity of the Company’s businesses, end user markets and geographic locations, management does not use specific external indices to predict the future performance of the Company, other than general information about broad macroeconomic trends. Each of our individual business units serves niche markets and attempts to identify trends other than general business and economic conditions which are specific to their businesses and which could impact their performance. Those units report pertinent information to senior management, which uses it to the extent relevant to assess the future performance of the Company. A description of any such material trends is described below in the applicable segment analysis. 21 We monitor a number of key performance indicators (“KPIs”) including net sales, income from operations, backlog, effective income tax rate, gross profit margin, and operating cash flow. A discussion of these KPIs is included in the discussion below. We may also supplement the discussion of these KPIs by identifying the impact of foreign exchange rates, acquisitions, and other significant items when they have a material impact on the discussed KPI. We believe that the discussion of these items provides enhanced information to investors by disclosing their consequence on the overall trend in order to provide a clearer comparative view of the KPI where applicable. For discussion of the impact of foreign exchange rates on KPIs, the Company calculates the impact as the difference between the current period KPI calculated at the current period exchange rate as compared to the KPI calculated at the historical exchange rate for the prior period. For discussion of the impact of acquisitions, we isolate the effect to the KPI amount that would have existed regardless of our acquisition. Sales resulting from synergies between the acquisition and existing operations of the Company are considered organic growth for the purposes of our discussion. Unless otherwise noted, references to years are to fiscal years. Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations (in thousands): Net sales Gross profit margin Restructuring costs Other income/(expense) operating Income from operations Backlog (realizable within 1 year) Net sales Components of change in sales: Effect of acquisitions Effect of exchange rates Organic sales growth $ $ $ 2016 2015 751,586 $ 33.6% 4,232 (7,458) 70,344 772,142 $ 32.1% 3,443 438 78,644 2014 716,180 33.3% 10,077 3,462 65,868 162,896 $ 168,157 $ 143,132 2016 751,586 $ 2015 772,142 $ 2014 716,180 11,672 (15,011) (17,217) 38,155 (16,423) 34,230 297 3,954 38,539 Net sales for the fiscal year 2016 decreased by $20.6 million, or 2.7%, when compared to the prior year. The decrease is driven by $17.2 million, or 2.3% of organic sales declines and $15.0 million, or 1.9%, of unfavorable foreign exchange partially offset by $11.7 million, or 1.5% from the Northlake and Enginetics acquisitions. The organic sales decrease was primarily driven by lower sales to the refrigeration and oil and gas markets, partially offset by higher sales to the automotive and other markets. We anticipate continued soft demand in the refrigeration and oil and gas markets during the first half of fiscal year 2017. We expect unfavorable foreign exchange sales impacts in 2017 primarily associated with declines in the British Pound due to the Brexit vote. During fiscal year 2016, 3.0% of our consolidated revenue was recorded in the U.K. Net sales for the fiscal year 2015 increased by $56.0 million, or 7.8%, when compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by $34.2 million or 4.8% of organic sales growth from three of our segments, $38.2 million or 5.3% of acquisitions from Enginetics, Ultrafryer, and Planar partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange of $16.4 million or 2.3% primarily from the strength of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Euro and Pound. Sales growth was a result of success of our top-line growth initiatives and improvements in end-user markets. Gross Profit Margin During 2016, gross margin increased to 33.6% as compared to 32.1% in 2015. The increase is a result of higher sales in the Engraving segment which typically carry higher margins than sales in our other segments and operational improvements in our Food Service Equipment segment as our Operational Excellence initiatives 22 continue to generate positive gross margin results. We also experienced gross margin improvements due to reduced purchase accounting charges of $1.3 million. During fiscal year 2016 we incurred $0.4 million of purchase accounting charges related to the Northlake acquisition as compared to charges of $1.7 million in the prior year for the Enginetics and Ultrafryer acquisitions. During 2015, gross margin decreased to 32.1% as compared to 33.3% in 2014. This decrease is primarily a result of exchange rate declines, an unfavorable sales mix as compared to the prior year, coupled with $1.7 million of purchase accounting charges associated with the Enginetics and Ultrafryer acquisitions. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Selling, general, and administrative expenses, (“SG&A”) for the fiscal year 2016 were $170.2 million or 22.6% of sales compared to $165.8 million or 21.5% of sales during the prior year. The increase in SG&A is due to higher health care expenses, compensation, along with SG&A embedded in the Northlake business partially offset by declines in distribution expense. Selling, general, and administrative expenses, (“SG&A”) for the fiscal year 2015 were $165.8 million or 21.5% of sales compared to $165.8 million or 23.1% of sales during the prior year. The decline in SG&A as a percentage of sales relates to three primary items: the absence of $3.9 million of management transition costs in 2014; increased selling and distribution expense in the then current year associated with a 4.8% increase in organic sales during the year; and $6.6 million of incremental expenses as a result of the Ultrafryer and Enginetics acquisitions. Income from Operations Income from operations for the fiscal year 2016 decreased by $8.3 million or 10.6%, when compared to the prior year. The decrease is a result of a $7.3 million non-cash loss incurred to adjust the net realizable value of the Roll Plate and Machinery business, increases in health care and compensation expenses, partially offset by gross profit improvements as a result of business segment mix. Discussion of the performance of all of our reportable segments is more fully explained in the segment analysis that follows. Income from operations for the fiscal year 2015 increased by $12.8 million or 19.4%, when compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by $56.0 million of sales increases, increasing gross profit by $9.2 million, along with a $6.6 million decline in restructuring expenses, and a reduction in net gain from insurance proceeds of $3.0 million. Interest Expense Interest expense for the fiscal year 2016 was $2.9 million, a decrease of $0.3 million as compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to lower average borrowings outstanding during the year. Interest expense for the fiscal year 2015 was $3.2 million, an increase of $0.9 million as compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily due to higher average borrowings outstanding during the year as a result of the Enginetics acquisition and increased capital spending to support strategic growth programs. Income Taxes The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 was $16.3 million, or an effective rate of 23.8%, compared to $20.9 million, or an effective rate of 27.4% for the year ended June 30, 2015. Changes in the effective tax rates from period to period may be significant as they depend on many factors including, but not limited to, the amount of the Company's income or loss, the mix of income earned in the US versus outside the US, the effective tax rate in each of the countries in which we earn income, and any one time tax issues which occur during the period. We anticipate our tax rate will be approximately 28% in the coming fiscal year due to mix of income earned in jurisdictions with higher tax rates. The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 was impacted by the following items: (i) a benefit of $4.9 million due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with 23 beneficial tax rates, (ii) a net benefit of $0.9 million related to a bargain-sale of idle property to a charitable organization, and (iii) a benefit of $0.7 million related to the R&D tax credit. The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 was $20.9 million, an effective rate of 27.4%, compared to $18.1 million, an effective rate of 26.6% for the year ended June 30, 2014. The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 was impacted by the following items: (i) a benefit of $0.5 million related to the R&D tax credit that expired during the fiscal year on December 31, 2014 (ii) a benefit of $4.0 million due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with beneficial tax rates. The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 was impacted by the following items: (i) a benefit of $0.5 million related to the R&D tax credit that expired during the fiscal year on December 31, (ii) a benefit of $0.5 million related to a decrease in the statutory tax rate in the United Kingdom on prior period deferred tax liabilities recorded during the first quarter during the fiscal year, (iii) a benefit of $1.1 million due to non-taxable life insurance proceeds received in the third quarter and (iv) a benefit of $3.8 million due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with beneficial tax rates. Capital Expenditures In general, our capital expenditures over the long term are expected to be approximately 2% to 3% of net sales. During 2016, capital expenditures decreased to $17.9 million or 2.4% of net sales as compared to $22.6 million or 2.9% of net sales in the prior year. We anticipated 2016 capital spending to be approximately $24 million, however due to project delays, spending was $8 million below our target. We anticipate capital expenditures in the range of $26.0 million to $28.0 million in 2017, which includes amounts not spent in 2016. The 2017 capital spending will be focused on completion of the new Engineering Technologies facility in Wisconsin along with growth, cost reduction, and typical maintenance capital programs. Backlog Backlog includes all active or open orders for goods and services that have a firm fixed customer purchase order with defined delivery dates. Backlog also includes any future deliveries based on executed customer contracts, so long as such deliveries are based on agreed upon delivery schedules. Backlog is not generally a significant factor in the Company’s businesses because of our relatively short delivery periods and rapid inventory turnover with the exception of Engineering Technologies. Due to the nature of long term agreements in the Engineering Technologies segment, the timing of orders and delivery dates can vary considerably resulting in significant backlog changes from one period to another. Backlog orders in place at June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows (in thousands): Food Service Equipment Engraving Engineering Technologies Electronics Hydraulics Total Net realizable beyond one year Net realizable within one year 2016 $37,202 19,046 90,241 44,713 4,951 196,153 33,257 $162,896 $ $ 2015 46,147 18,992 93,012 38,445 4,776 201,372 33,215 168,157 $ $ Backlog realizable within one year decreased $5.3 million, or 3.1%, to $162.9 million at June 30, 2016 from $168.2 million at June 30, 2015. The backlog decrease of $8.9 million in the Food Service Equipment segment resulted primarily from lower demand in the refrigeration markets. The increase in Electronics backlog of $6.3 million is primarily a result of the recently acquired Northlake business. 24 Segment Analysis (in thousands) Food Service Equipment (in thousands except percentages) 2016 compared to 2015 2015 compared to 2014 2016 2015 Change 2015 2014 Change % % Net sales Income from operations Operating income margin $ 381,867 40,142 10.5% $ 408,706 37,456 9.2% -6.6% 7.2% $ 408,706 37,456 9.2% $ 377,848 38,203 10.1% 8.2% -2.0% Net sales for fiscal year 2016 decreased $26.8 million, or 6.6% when compared to the prior year. The reduction was primarily in the Refrigeration Solutions group where sales decreased by 12.2%. Three factors contributed to the Refrigeration sales decline: (i) loss of market share into the dollar store market, (ii) reduced sales to major chains due to reduced capital spending, and (iii) reduced sales in Canada due to the strength of the U.S. dollar. We anticipate that capital spending by our major chain customers will remain soft into the first half of fiscal year 2017 but will begin to increase in the second half of fiscal year 2017. Sales from the Cooking Solutions group increased, by 0.5% year over year due to growth in sales to retail supermarkets. Specialty Solutions sales decreased 1.1% as our European pump business was impacted by a weak Euro early in the year. Net sales for fiscal year 2015 increased $30.9 million, or 8.2%, when compared to the prior year. The sales growth was driven by organic sales increases of 4.9%, sales increases of 3.9% due to our acquisition of Ultrafyer, partially offset by foreign exchange declines. The Refrigerated Solutions group sales increased 4.7% as the group saw a return of the drug retail business in 2015 and strong sales into the dollar store market. This strength was partially offset by weakness in national food service chains. Sales from the Cooking Solutions group increased, by 22.2% year over year. Excluding the Ultrafryer acquisition, Cooking Solutions group sales grew at 4.2% as compared to 2014. Growth was driven by increased spending by U.S. retail supermarket customers. Specialty Solutions sales increased 1.1% as our European pump business was impacted by the weakening of the Euro during the year. Foreign exchange losses in the group were offset by sales growth in our specialty merchandising business as several new chains have signed on for development of customized solutions. Income from operations for fiscal year 2016 increased $2.7 million, or 7.2%, when compared to the prior year, and operating income margin grew from 9.2% to 10.5%, up 130 basis points. Operating efficiencies, portfolio focus, paring of low-margin products and expense controls have increased our leverage and have positively impacted income from operations for the segment. Our focus in fiscal year 2017 is to generate positive operating income growth through product rationalization, sales volume increases and margin improvement through future deployment of Standex Operational Excellence. Income from operations for fiscal year 2015 decreased $0.7 million, or 2.0%, when compared to the prior year, and operating income margin declined from 10.1% to 9.2%. The positive impact of the year-over-year volume increase was offset by a combination of adverse market channel, product and customer mix changes; negative foreign exchange impacts and disruptions resulting from a factory closure. Engraving (in thousands except percentages) Net sales Income from operations Operating income margin 2016 compared to 2015 2015 compared to 2014 % % 2016 2015 Change 2015 2014 Change $ 124,120 29,579 23.8% $ 110,781 24,250 21.9% 12.0% 22.0% $ 110,781 24,250 21.9% $ 109,271 22,145 20.3% 1.4% 9.5% Net sales for fiscal year 2016 increased by $13.3 million or 12.0%, compared to the prior year. Sales growth excluding foreign exchange losses of $8.7 million is driven by sales gains at Mold-Tech for new automotive model introductions along with market share gains throughout the world. The Engraving segment also experienced sales 25 gains in its Roll Plate and Machinery business and core forming tooling business. We expect moderate Mold-Tech sales growth in 2017 as new automotive model launches occur in the coming year. Subsequent to our fiscal 2016 year-end, the Company sold its U.S. Roll Plate and Machinery business as it was not strategic and did not meet our growth and return expectations. This divestiture also allows the Company’s management to focus on higher growth and better return businesses within the Engraving segment. In preparation of this sale, during the fourth quarter of 2016, we recorded a $7.3 million non-cash loss to adjust the net assets of this business to their net realizable value. This expense is recorded as a component of Other Operating Income (Expense), net. The Roll Plate and Machinery business sales increased in fiscal 2016 by $2.8 million up to $17.4 million. The sales (in millions) for the Roll Plate and Machinery business from the first to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 were $4.2, $4.9, $4.0, and $4.3, respectively. Net sales for fiscal year 2015 increased by $1.5 million or 1.4%, compared to the prior year. Unfavorable foreign exchange impacted sales $7.2 million. Sales growth excluding foreign exchange losses were primarily driven by continued expansion of our Asia Pacific Mold-Tech business as a result of increased market share. North American sales volumes were down for the year due to lower new automotive model activity and some automotive projects that were pushed out from the fourth quarter to the first half of 2016. Sales of core forming tooling grew 25% or $2.4 million as compared to prior year. Income from operations in fiscal year 2016 increased by $5.3 million, or 22%, when compared to the prior year. The operating income improvement is driven by increased volume in all regions, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange and market declines in South America. The Roll Plate and Machinery business operating income increased in fiscal 2016 by $1.1 million up to $1.2 million. The operating income (in thousands) for the Roll Plate and Machinery business from the first to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 were $89, $242, $378, and $493, respectively. Income from operations in fiscal year 2015 increased by $2.1 million, or 9.5%, when compared to the prior year. The increase is driven by increased volume in Asia Pacific partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange and fewer new model launches which impeded margin growth in the mold texturing business. Engineering Technologies (in thousands except percentages) 2016 compared to 2015 2015 compared to 2014 2016 2015 Change 2015 2014 Change % % Net sales Income from operations Operating income margin $ 82,235 8,258 10.0% $ 97,018 13,097 13.5% -15.2% -36.9% $ 97,018 13,097 13.5% $ 79,642 12,676 15.9% 21.8% 3.3% Net sales in the fiscal year 2016 decreased $14.8 million or 15.2% when compared to the prior year. Sales distribution by market in 2016 was as follows: 46% aviation, 27% space, 10% oil and gas, 8% medical, 9% other markets. Sales in the land based gas turbine and oil and gas markets were down over 60% from the prior year level. The decline was a result of reduced demand in the oil and gas industry due to lower oil prices. We expect this market to remain soft for an extended period of time and have and will continue to reduce costs to align with demand. Total space sales decreased by 20.5% due to the completion of project based contracts in the manned space market. Sales in the unmanned space market were up 18.0% compared to the prior year. Aviation sales increased 29.7% from the prior year due to strong customer demand and recent contract awards. We anticipate that aviation sales will continue to increase during 2017 and will be approximately 50% of the segment’s sales for the year. Net sales in the fiscal year 2015 increased $17.4 million, or 21.8%, when compared to the prior year. Acquisitions contributed $22.5 million or 28.3%, partially offset by organic sales declines of $4.6 million, or 5.8%. Sales in the land based gas turbine and oil and gas markets were down 24.9% from the prior year level. The decline was a result of reduced demand due to lower oil prices. Space market sales increased 26.3% from the prior year driven by higher 26 sales in both the launch vehicle and the manned space market currently in the development phase. Legacy sales in the aviation market were up 24% compared to the prior year due to recent contract awards. Defense related sales were down 41.2% due to the timing of project based contracts. Sales in the medical market were down 14.4% primarily due to a shift in product mix. Income from operations in the fiscal year 2016 decreased $4.8 million or 36.9% when compared to the prior year. Operating income results were negatively impacted by the significant sales declines in both the energy and oil and gas related markets. This impact was partially offset by improved margins in the aviation market along with cost reduction programs implemented as a result of lower volume. We expect that our new Aluminum Center of Excellence facility will be fully operational beginning in the first quarter of 2017. Income from operations in the fiscal year 2015 increased $0.4 million, or 3.3%, when compared to the prior year. Operating income was negatively impacted by $1.1 million of purchase accounting expenses associated with the Enginetics acquisition and lower volume from oil and gas customers. Electronics (in thousands except percentages) 2016 compared to 2015 2015 compared to 2014 2016 2015 Change 2015 2014 Change % % Net sales Income from operations Operating income margin $ 118,319 21,104 17.8% $ 114,196 20,884 18.3% 3.6% 1.1% $ 114,196 20,884 18.3% $ 114,881 19,732 17.2% -0.6% 5.8% Net sales in the fiscal year 2016 increased $4.1 million, 3.6%, when compared to the prior year. Organic sales growth was $0.7 million, or 0.6%, while the Northlake acquisition contributed $7.5 million. Foreign exchange rates adversely affected sales by $4.1 million. Sales growth in local currency was particularly strong in Europe driven by volume increases in the sensor components. We experienced sales declines in both Asia and North America due to general market softness, particularly earlier in the fiscal year. We expect North American and European sales to increase in fiscal year 2017 which will be partially offset by continued weakness in Asia. Net sales in the fiscal year 2015 decreased $0.7 million, 0.6%, when compared to the prior year. Organic sales growth of $4.8 million or 4.2% were more than offset by exchange rate declines of $6.2 million. Almost all of the growth came from the sensor, relay and planar product lines across all major geographic areas. Sales growth in local currency was particularly strong in Europe and Asia. Income from operations in the fiscal year 2016 increased $0.2 million, or 1.1%, when compared to the prior year. The operating improvements were a result of a facility consolidation into our Northlake site partially offset by $0.4 million of purchase accounting charges associated with the Northlake acquisition. Income from operations in the fiscal year 2015 increased $1.2 million, or 5.8%, when compared to the prior year. The improvement were driven by the organic sales growth; operational improvements; material and labor cost savings; favorable product mix due to increased sensor and relay sales; facility consolidations; and improved efficiencies in our new Mexico facility partially offset by a negative impact due to foreign exchange rates. Hydraulics (in thousands except percentages) 2016 compared to 2015 2015 compared to 2014 % % 2016 2015 Change 2015 2014 Change Net sales Income from operations Operating income margin $ 45,045 7,947 17.6% $ 41,441 7,013 16.9% 8.7% 13.3% $ 41,441 7,013 16.9% $ 34,538 5,781 16.7% 20.0% 21.3% 27 Net sales in fiscal year 2016 increased $3.6 million, or 8.7% compared to the prior year. Sales distribution by market in 2016 was as follows: 40% dump trailer and truck, 22% refuse, 22% after market, 6% export, and 10% other markets. Strong demand in the traditional North American dump trailer and truck markets was the largest contributor for the net sales increase in addition to market share gains experienced in the refuse market. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 we will complete the expansion of our Tianjin, China facility in order to support continued global market growth. Net sales in the fiscal year 2015 increased $6.9 million, or 20.0% when compared to the prior year. Diversification of our OEM business into refuse and construction equipment along with strong demand for cylinder requirements in the traditional North American dump truck and trailer markets drove the increase in net sales. The business has focused on delivering custom engineered cylinder solutions to OEM customers, including single and double acting telescopic hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic rod cylinders, and most recently pneumatic cylinders. New applications for these products are being utilized on roll off container handlers, garbage trucks, airline support equipment, lift trucks, and specialty loading equipment. Income from operations in the fiscal year 2016 increased $0.9 million or 13.3% when compared to the prior year due to market growth, increased sales volume and cost containment efforts. Income from operations in the fiscal year 2015 increased $1.2 million or 21.3% when compared to the prior year due to increased sales volume and better facility utilization. Corporate, Restructuring and Other (in thousands except percentages) Corporate Restructuring Other operating income (expense), net 2016 compared to 2015 2015 compared to 2014 2016 $ (24,996) (4,232) 2015 $ (21,051) (3,443) % Change 2015 2014 18.7% 22.9% $ (21,051) (3,443) $ (26,054) (10,077) % Change -19.2% -65.8% (7,458) 438 -1,802.7% 438 3,462 -87.3% Corporate expenses in fiscal year 2016 increased $3.9 million or 18.7% when compared to the prior year. The increase is due to increased health care expenses, compensation, and professional services. Corporate expenses in fiscal year 2015 decreased $5.0 million or 19.2% when compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to the absence of management transition cost of $3.9 million incurred in 2014. Restructuring expenses during fiscal year 2016 were $4.2 million primarily related to a $1.7 million non-cash charge from the sale of a vacant property and a $0.7 million non-cash charge to discontinue a product line at our Refrigeration Solutions group. We also have taken restructuring actions to downsize a Canadian facility in connection with the Northlake acquisition and have reduced personnel in those of our locations impacted by the slowdown in the oil and gas market. Restructuring expense during fiscal year 2015 was $3.4 million compared to $10.1 million the prior year. Restructuring expense consisted of $2.6 million related to facility closures and consolidations in the Food Service Equipment. The Company anticipates further restructuring charges in 2017 based upon market conditions and cost reduction activities to improve our competitive advantage. During fiscal year 2016, other operating income (expense), net was primarily due to a non-cash loss of $7.3 million incurred to adjust the net realizable value of the U.S. Roll Plate and Machinery business in preparation for its sale on July 1, 2016. During fiscal year 2015, other operating income (expense), net decreased by $3.0 million from the prior year. The 28 decrease was primarily a reduction of insurance proceeds received related to the catastrophic failure of a large vertical machining center located at our Engineering Technologies facility in Massachusetts. Discontinued Operations In pursuing our business strategy, we have divested certain businesses and recorded activities of these businesses as discontinued operations. In June 2014, the Company divested the American Foodservice Company, (“AFS”) a manufacturer of custom design and fabrication of counter systems and cabinets, in our Food Service Equipment segment. In connection with this sale, the Company received proceeds of $3.1 million and recorded a net loss on disposal of $3.2 million. On March 30, 2012, the Air Distribution Products Group, (“ADP”) was sold to a private equity buyer for consideration of $16.1 million consisting of $13.1 million in cash and a $3.0 million promissory note from the buyer. The note was secured by a mortgage on the ADP real estate sold in the transaction in Detroit Lakes, MN, Medina, NY, and Powder Springs, GA. During the first quarter 2016, the private equity buyer of ADP sold one of the facilities securing the note. The Company released all mortgages on the properties and accepted an advanced payment of $2.8 million during October 2015 in order to reduce repayment risk and settle all obligations under the note. The Company recorded a $0.2 million loss in discontinued operations during the first quarter 2016 related to this transaction. The Company remained the obligor of ADP’s Philadelphia, PA facility and administrative offices. We have entered into a renewable sublease agreement with a third party for this space. Our total obligation with respect to the lease is $0.7 million, of which $0.3 million was recorded as a liability at June 30, 2016. We do not expect to record additional charges related to these obligations. During 2014, the Company received notice that its obligations under a guarantee provided to the buyers of ADP were triggered as a result of its withdrawal from both of the multi-employer pension plans in which ADP previously participated. The last of these obligations were settled in July of fiscal year 2016 by a $0.5 million payment to the final multi-employer plan. The following table summarizes the Company’s discontinued operations activity, by operation, for the years ended June 30, (in thousands): Year Disposed 2016 2015 2014 Sales: American Foodservice Company 2014 $ - $ - $ 20,556 Income (loss) before taxes: American Foodservice Company (1) Air Distribution Products Group Other loss from discontinued operations Income (loss) before taxes from discontinued operations (Provision) benefit for tax Net income (loss) from discontinued operations 2014 2012 $ 3 (225) (7) (229) 55 (174) $ (492) (137) (130) (759) 259 (500) (8,339) (1,849) (387) 10,575 3,692 $ (6,883) (1) American Foodservice Company incurred a pretax operational loss of $3.5 million and pretax loss on sale of $4.8 million in 2014. Liquidity and Capital Resources At June 30, 2016, our total cash balance was $122.0 million, of which $111.5 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to capital controls; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. Our current plans are not expected to require a repatriation of 29 cash to fund our U.S. operations and as a result, we intend to indefinitely reinvest our foreign earnings to fund our overseas growth. If the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are needed for operations in the United States, we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes upon repatriation. 30 Cash Flow Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2016 was $81.2 million, compared to $66.2 million for the same period in 2015. Changes to net cash provided by operating activities of $15.1 million primarily related to net working capital changes of $17.8 million between periods. Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2016 was $31.6 million, consisting primarily of $17.9 million for capital expenditure and $13.7 million to acquire Northlake Engineering, Inc. Net cash used by financing activities for continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2016, was $20.7 million consisting of debt repayments of $10.0 million, cash dividends of $6.8 million, and repurchased treasury stock of $5.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $66.2 million, compared to $72.0 million for the same period in 2014. Changes to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.8 million primarily related to increases to net income of $5.5 million and $2.9 million of decreases to non-cash stock compensation expenses which were more than offset by the use of cash for net working capital needs during the year. Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $78.5 million, consisting primarily of $57.1 million for the acquisitions and $22.6 million for capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities for continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2015, was $44.6 million consisting of net borrowings of $58.0 million primarily related to acquisitions during the year, partially offset by dividends paid of $5.8 million, and repurchased treasury stock of $10.4million. Capital Structure During fiscal year 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Facility”, or “facility”). This five-year Credit Facility expires in December 2019 and has a borrowing limit of $400 million, which can be increased by an amount of up to $100 million, in accordance with specified conditions contained in the agreement. The facility also includes a $10 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $30 million sublimit for letters of credit. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we will pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee on borrowed amounts as well as a commitment fee on unused amounts under the facility. The amount of the commitment fee will depend upon both the undrawn amount remaining available under the facility and the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) ratio at the last day of each quarter. As our funded debt to EBITDA ratio increases, the commitment fee will increase. Funds borrowed under the facility may be used for the repayment of debt, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions (so long as certain conditions, including a specified funded debt to EBITDA leverage ratio is maintained), and other general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has used $7.7 million against the letter of credit sub-facility and had the ability to borrow $254.4 million under the facility based on our current EBITDA. The facility contains customary representations, warranties and restrictive covenants, as well as specific financial covenants. The Company’s current financial covenants under the facility are as follows: Interest Coverage Ratio - The Company is required to maintain a ratio of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, as Adjusted (“Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility”), to interest expense for the trailing twelve months of at least 3.0:1. Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility specifically excludes extraordinary and certain other defined items such as cash restructuring and acquisition-related charges up to $7.5 million, and unlimited non-cash charges including gains or losses on sale of property and goodwill adjustments. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s Interest Coverage Ratio was 28.76:1. Leverage Ratio - The Company’s ratio of funded debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA per the facility, calculated as Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Facility plus depreciation and amortization, may not exceed 3.5:1. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s Leverage Ratio was 1.01:1. As of June 30, 2016, we had borrowings under our facility of $93.0 million and the effective rate of interest for outstanding borrowings under the facility was 1.76%. Our primary cash requirements in addition to day-to-day operating needs include interest payments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases, and dividends. 31 Our primary sources of cash for these requirements are cash flows from continuing operations and borrowings under the facility. We expect to spend between $26.0 and $28.0 million on capital expenditures during 2017, and expect that depreciation and amortization expense will be between $18.0 and $19.0 million and $3.0 and $4.0 million, respectively. In order to manage our interest rate exposure, at June 30, 2016 we are party to $50.0 million of active floating to fixed rate swaps. These swaps convert our interest payments from LIBOR to a weighted average rate of 1.43%. The following table sets forth our capitalization at June 30, (in thousands): Long-term debt, net of issuance cost Less cash and cash equivalents Net (cash) debt Stockholders’ equity Total capitalization 2016 2015 $ $ 92,114 121,988 (29,874) 369,959 340,085 $ $ 101,753 96,128 5,625 348,570 354,195 Stockholders’ equity increased year over year by $21.4 million, primarily as a result of current year net income of $52.1 million partially offset by $11.3 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation, $6.8 million dividends paid, $13.4 million of unrealized pension loss. The Company's net (cash) debt to capital percentage changed to (8.8%) net cash to capital for the year ended June 30, 2016 from 1.6% net debt to capital for the year ended June 30, 2015. The change in net debt to capital is primarily driven by a reduction in borrowings and cash generated through operations. We sponsor five defined benefit plans including two in the U.S. and one in Germany, U.K. and Ireland. The Company’s pension plan is frozen for U.S. employees and participants in the plan ceased accruing future benefits. The fair value of the Company's U.S. pension plan assets was $197.9 million at June 30, 2016 and the projected benefit obligation in the U.S. was $269.2 million at that time. As a result of past contributions, the plan is not expected to be 100% funded under ERISA rules at June 30, 2016, but we do not expect to make mandatory contributions to the plan until 2018. We expect to pay $1.4 million in prescribed contributions to our U.K. defined benefit plan and other unfunded defined benefit plans in both the U.S. and Europe during fiscal year 2017. We have evaluated the current and long-term cash requirements of our defined benefit and defined contribution plans as of June 30, 2016 and determined our operating cash flows from continuing operations and available liquidity are expected to be sufficient to cover the required contributions under ERISA and other governing regulations. We have an insurance program in place to fund supplemental retirement income benefits for six retired executives. Current executives and new hires are not eligible for this program. At June 30, 2016 the underlying policies had a cash surrender value of $19.5 million and are reported net of loans of $10.2 million for which we have the legal right of offset. Contractual obligations of the Company as of June 30, 2016 are as follows (in thousands): Contractual Obligations Long-term debt obligations Operating lease obligations Estimated interest payments (1) Post-retirement benefit payments (2) Total $ Total 93,018 36,399 6,596 44,546 $ 180,559 $ $ Payments Due by Period Less than 1 Year 12 7,442 1,987 1,402 10,843 1-3 Years 6 9,954 3,705 16,519 30,184 $ 3-5 Years 93,000 5,394 904 22,577 $ 121,875 $ $ 32 More than 5 Years - 13,609 - 4,048 17,657 $ $ (1) Estimated interest payments are based upon effective interest rates as of June 30, 2016, and include the impact of interest rate swaps. See Item 7A for further discussions surrounding interest rate exposure on our variable rate borrowings. (2) Post-retirement benefits and pension plan contribution payments represents’ future pension payments to comply with local funding requirements. Our policy is to fund domestic pension liabilities in accordance with the minimum and maximum limits imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), federal income tax laws and the funding requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006. At June 30, 2016, we had $2.5 million of non-current liabilities for uncertain tax positions. We are not able to provide a reasonable estimate of the timing of future payments related to these obligations. Off Balance Sheet Items In March 2012, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of the ADP business. In connection with the divestiture, the Company remained the obligor of ADP’s Philadelphia, PA facility and administrative offices. On February 4, 2015 we entered into a one year renewable, sublease agreement for this building. Our total obligation with respect to the remaining Philadelphia leases is $0.7 million, of which $0.3 million was recorded as a liability at June 30, 2016. We do not expect to record additional charges related to these obligations. At June 30, 2016, and 2015, the Company had standby letters of credit outstanding, primarily for insurance and trade financing purposes, of $7.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively. We had no other material off balance sheet items at June 30, 2016, other than the operating leases summarized above in the “Contractual obligations” table. Other Matters Inflation – Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, occupancy costs and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Inflation for medical costs can impact both our reserves for self-insured medical plans as well as our reserves for workers' compensation claims. We monitor the inflationary rate and make adjustments to reserves whenever it is deemed necessary. Our ability to manage medical costs inflation is dependent upon our ability to manage claims and purchase insurance coverage to limit the maximum exposure for us. Each of our segments is subject to the effects of changing raw material costs caused by the underlying commodity price movements. In general, we do not enter into purchase contracts that extend beyond one operating cycle. While Standex considers our relationship with our suppliers to be good, there can be no assurances that we will not experience any supply shortage. Foreign Currency Translation – Our primary functional currencies used by our non-U.S. subsidiaries are the Euro, British Pound Sterling (Pound), Mexican (Peso), and Chinese (Yuan). During the current year, the Pound, Euro, Peso and Yuan all decreased in value related to the U.S. Dollar, our reporting currency. Since June 30, 2015 the Pound, Euro, Peso, and Yuan have depreciated by 15.3%, 0.3%, 17.6%, and 6.5% respectively (all relative to the U.S. Dollar). These exchange values were used in translating the appropriate non-U.S. subsidiaries’ balance sheets into U.S. Dollars at the end of the current year. Defined Benefit Pension Plans – We record expenses related to these plans based upon various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates and assumed rates of returns. The Company’s pension plan was frozen for substantially all remaining eligible U.S. employees in 2015 and participants in the plan ceased accruing future benefits. Environmental Matters – To the best of our knowledge, we believe that we are presently in substantial compliance with all existing applicable environmental laws and regulations and do not anticipate any instances of non- compliance that will have a material effect on our future capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Seasonality – We are a diversified business with generally low levels of seasonality, however our fiscal third quarter 33 is typically the period with the lowest level of activity. Employee Relations – The Company has labor agreements with a number of union locals in the United States and a number of European employees belong to European trade unions. There are two union contracts in the U.S. expiring during fiscal year 2017. The first has been successfully negotiated in July of 2016 and the second will not expire until October 2016. Critical Accounting Policies The Consolidated Financial Statements include accounts of the Company and all of our subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Although, we believe that materially different amounts would not be reported due to the accounting policies described below, the application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. We have listed a number of accounting policies which we believe to be the most critical. The Company’s product sales are recorded when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For products that include installation, and if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. Revenues under certain fixed price contracts are generally recorded when deliveries are made. Sales and estimated profits under certain long-term contracts are recognized under the percentage-of-completion methods of accounting, whereby profits are recorded pro rata, based upon current estimates of costs to complete such contracts. Losses on contracts are provided for in the period in which the losses become determinable. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected on a cumulative basis in the period in which the basis for such revision becomes known. Any excess of the billings over cost and estimated earnings on long-term contracts is included in deferred revenue. Collectability of Accounts Receivable – Accounts Receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Our estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts related to trade receivables includes evaluation of specific accounts where we have information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligation together with a general provision for unknown but existing doubtful accounts. Realizability of Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The Company regularly reviews inventory values on hand using specific aging categories, and records a provision for obsolete and excess inventory based on historical usage and estimated future usage. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected by management, adjustments to inventory valuations may be required. Realization of Goodwill - Goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than its carrying amount of the asset. The Company’s annual test for impairment is performed using a May 31st measurement date. We have identified our reporting units for impairment testing as our eleven operating segments, which are aggregated into our five reporting segments as disclosed in Note 18 – Industry Segment Information. The test for impairment is a two-step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value (Step 1). To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to the implied fair value (Step 2). To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized. 34 As quoted market prices are not available for the Company’s reporting units, the fair value of the reporting units is determined using a discounted cash flow model (income approach). This method uses various assumptions that are specific to each individual reporting unit in order to determine the fair value. In addition, the Company compares the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units to its overall market capitalization. Our annual impairment testing at each reporting unit relied on assumptions surrounding general market conditions, short-term growth rates, a terminal growth rate of 2.5%, and detailed management forecasts of future cash flows prepared by the relevant reporting unit. Fair values were determined primarily by discounting estimated future cash flows at a weighted average cost of capital of 10.31%. An increase in the weighted average cost of capital of approximately 200 basis points in the analysis would not result in the identification of any impairments. While we believe that our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, changes in assumptions could significantly affect our valuations and result in impairments in the future. The most significant assumption involved in the Company’s determination of fair value is the cash flow projections of each reporting unit. Certain reporting units have been significantly impacted by the current global economic downturn and if the effects of the current global economic environment are protracted or the recovery is slower than we have projected estimates of future cash flows for each reporting unit may be insufficient to support the carrying value of the reporting units, requiring the Company to re-assess its conclusions related to fair value and the recoverability of goodwill. As a result of our annual assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, no impairment charges were recorded in connection with our annual assessment during 2016. Subsequent to our annual impairment test, we disposed of $273 thousand of goodwill recorded in the Engraving segment in connection with our sale of the Roll, Plate, and Machinery business. Cost of Employee Benefit Plans – We provide a range of benefits to certain retirees, including pensions and some postretirement benefits. We record expenses relating to these plans based upon various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The expected return on plan assets assumption of 7.10% in the U.S. is based on our expectation of the long-term average rate of return on assets in the pension funds and is reflective of the current and projected asset mix of the funds and considers the historical returns earned on the funds. We have analyzed the rates of return on assets used and determined that these rates are reasonable based on the plans’ historical performance relative to the overall markets as well as our current expectations for long-term rates of returns for our pension assets. The U.S. discount rate of 4.0% reflects the current rate at which pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year. The discount rate is determined by matching our expected benefit payments from a stream of AA- or higher bonds available in the marketplace, adjusted to eliminate the effects of call provisions. We review our actuarial assumptions, including discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, on at least an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when appropriate. Based on information provided by our actuaries and other relevant sources, we believe that our assumptions are reasonable. The cost of employee benefit plans includes the selection of assumptions noted above. A twenty-five basis point change in the expected return on plan assets assumptions, holding our discount rate and other assumptions constant, would increase or decrease pension expense by approximately $0.6 million per year. A twenty-five basis point change in our discount rate, holding all other assumptions constant, would have no impact on 2016 pension expense as changes to amortization of net losses would be offset by changes to interest cost. In future years the impact of discount rate changes could yield different sensitivities. See the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding pension plans. Business Combinations - The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets in determining the estimated fair values for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these fair values, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, or require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets. 35 Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. During this measurement period, the Company will adjust assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period earnings. 36 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements See "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 1. Summary of Accounting Policies” for information regarding the effect of recently issued accounting pronouncements on our consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, and notes for the year ended June 30, 2016. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Risk Management We are exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and changes in foreign currency exchange. To reduce these risks, we selectively use, from time to time, financial instruments and other proactive management techniques. We have internal policies and procedures that place financial instruments under the direction of the Treasurer and restrict all derivative transactions to those intended for hedging purposes only. The use of financial instruments for trading purposes (except for certain investments in connection with the non-qualified defined contribution plan) or speculation is strictly prohibited. The Company has no majority-owned subsidiaries that are excluded from the consolidated financial statements. Further, we have no interests in or relationships with any special purpose entities. Exchange Risk We are exposed to both transactional risk and translation risk associated with exchange rates. The transactional risk is mitigated, in large part, by natural hedges developed with locally denominated debt service on intercompany accounts. We also mitigate certain of our foreign currency exchange rate risks by entering into forward foreign currency contracts from time to time. The contracts are used as a hedge against anticipated foreign cash flows, such as dividend payments, loan payments, and materials purchases, and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The fair values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates from market rates would decrease the fair value of the contracts. However, any such losses or gains would generally be offset by corresponding gains and losses, respectively, on the related hedged asset or liability. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, the fair value, in the aggregate, of the Company’s open foreign exchange contracts was $0.1 million and an asset of $0.7 million, respectively. Our primary translation risk is with the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Peso, and Chinese Yuan. A hypothetical 10% appreciation or depreciation of the value of any these foreign currencies to the U.S. Dollar at June 30, 2016, would not result in a material change in our operations, financial position, or cash flows. We do not hedge our translation risk. As a result, fluctuations in currency exchange rates can affect our stockholders’ equity. Interest Rate The Company’s effective rate on variable-rate borrowings under the revolving credit agreement is 1.76% and 1.46% at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our interest rate exposure is limited primarily to interest rate changes on our variable rate borrowings. From time to time, we will use interest rate swap agreements to modify our exposure to interest rate movements. We currently have $50.0 million of active floating to fixed rate swaps with terms ranging from one to three years. These swaps convert our interest payments from LIBOR to a weighted average rate of 1.43%. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, the fair value, in the aggregate, of the Company’s interest rate swaps was $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Due to the impact of the swaps, an increase in interest rates would not materially impact our annual interest expense at June 30, 2016. Concentration of Credit Risk We have a diversified customer base. As such, the risk associated with concentration of credit risk is inherently minimized. As of June 30, 2016, no one customer accounted for more than 5% of our consolidated outstanding receivables or of our sales. 37 Commodity Prices The Company is exposed to fluctuating market prices for all commodities used in its manufacturing processes. Each of our segments is subject to the effects of changing raw material costs caused by the underlying commodity price movements. In general, we do not enter into purchase contracts that extend beyond one operating cycle. While Standex considers our relationship with our suppliers to be good, there can be no assurances that we will not experience any supply shortage. The Engineering Technologies, Food Service Equipment, Electronics, and Hydraulics segments are all sensitive to price increases for steel products, other metal commodities and petroleum based products. In the past year, we have experienced price fluctuations for a number of materials including steel, copper wire, other metal commodities, refrigeration components and foam insulation. These materials are some of the key elements in the products manufactured in these segments. Wherever possible, we will implement price increases to offset the impact of changing prices. The ultimate acceptance of these price increases, if implemented, will be impacted by our affected divisions’ respective competitors and the timing of their price increases. Item 8.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Consolidation Standex International Corporation (“Standex” or the “Company”) is a diversified manufacturing company with operations in the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standex International Corporation and its subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. We evaluated subsequent events through the date and time our consolidated financial statements were issued. Accounting Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. Estimates are based on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities when they are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates assist in the identification and assessment of the accounting treatment necessary with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s cash was comprised solely of cash on deposit. Trading Securities The Company purchases investments for its non-qualified defined contribution plan for employees who exceed certain thresholds under our traditional 401(k) plan. These investments are classified as trading and reported at fair value. The investments generally consist of mutual funds, are included in other non-current assets and amounted to $2.3 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015. Gains and losses on these investments are recorded as other non-operating income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accounts Receivable Allowances The Company has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts reserve which represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent in the Company’s account receivables portfolio. This estimate is derived from the Company’s knowledge of its end markets, customer base, products, and historical experience. 43 The changes in the allowances for uncollectible accounts during 2016, 2015, and 2014 were as follows (in thousands): Balance at beginning of year Acquisitions and other Provision charged to expense Write-offs, net of recoveries Balance at end of year 2016 2,226 3 8 (118) 2,119 $ $ $ $ 2015 2,282 4 496 (556) 2,226 $ $ 2014 2,325 93 375 (511) 2,282 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of (first-in, first-out) cost or market. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets that are used in operations, excluding goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recognition and measurement of a potential impairment loss is performed on assets grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level where identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending upon the nature of the assets. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on assets over their estimated useful lives, generally using the straight-line method. Lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows: Buildings Leasehold improvements Machinery and equipment Furniture and Fixtures Computer hardware and software 40 to 50 years Lesser of useful life or term, unless renewals are deemed to be reasonably assured 8 to 15 years 3 to 10 years 3 to 7 years Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized. Major improvements to leased buildings are capitalized as leasehold improvements and depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements are capitalized. Major improvements to leased buildings are capitalized as leasehold improvements and depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Amortization of computer hardware and software of $0.6 million, $0.5 million, and $0.4 million is included as a component of depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets All business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives, are not amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if 44 impairment indicators arise. Identifiable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives are amortized on an accelerated basis over the following useful lives: Customer relationships Patents Non-compete agreements Other Trade names 5 to 16 years 12 years 5 to 10 years 10 years Indefinite life See discussion of the Company’s assessment of impairment in Note 5 – Goodwill, and Note 6 – Intangible Assets. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The financial instruments, shown below, are presented at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. When observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models may be applied. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities and the methodologies used in valuation are as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets consist of shares in various mutual funds (for the deferred compensation plan, investments are participant-directed) which invest in a broad portfolio of debt and equity securities. These assets are valued based on publicly quoted market prices for the funds’ shares as of the balance sheet dates. For pension assets (see Note 17 – Employee Benefit Plans), securities are valued based on quoted market prices for securities held directly by the trust. Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in an active market, that are observable either directly or indirectly through correlation with market data. For foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps, the Company values the instruments based on the market price of instruments with similar terms, which are based on spot and forward rates as of the balance sheet dates. For pension assets held in commingled funds (see Note 17 – Employee Benefit Plans) the Company values investments based on the net asset value of the funds, which are derived from the quoted market prices of the underlying fund holdings. The Company has considered the creditworthiness of counterparties in valuing all assets and liabilities. Level 3– Unobservable inputs based upon the Company’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy at June 30, 2016 and 2015. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. 45 The fair values of our financial instruments at June 30, 2016 and 2015 were (in thousands): Financial Assets Marketable securities - deferred compensation plan Foreign Exchange contracts $ 2,333 11 $ 2,333 - $ - $ 11 - - Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 2016 Financial Liabilities Foreign Exchange contracts Interest rate swaps $ 94 1,038 $ - $ - 94 1,038 $ - - Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 2015 Financial Assets Marketable securities - deferred compensation plan Foreign Exchange contracts $ 2,324 844 $ 2,324 - $ - $ 844 - - Financial Liabilities Foreign Exchange contracts Interest rate swaps Concentration of Credit Risk $ 193 551 $ - $ - 193 551 $ - - The Company is subject to credit risk through trade receivables and short-term cash investments. Concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is minimized because of the diversification of our operations, as well as our large customer base and our geographical dispersion. No individual customer accounts for more than 5% of revenues or accounts receivable in the periods presented. Short-term cash investments are placed with high credit-quality financial institutions. The Company monitors the amount of credit exposure in any one institution or type of investment instrument. Revenue Recognition The Company’s product sales are recorded when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For products that include installation, and if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. Revenues under certain fixed price contracts are generally recorded when deliveries are made. Sales and estimated profits under certain long-term contracts are recognized under the percentage-of-completion methods of accounting, whereby profits are recorded pro rata, based upon current estimates of costs to complete such contracts. Losses on contracts are provided for in the period in which the losses become determinable. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected on a cumulative basis in the period in which the basis for such revision becomes known. Any excess of the billings over cost and estimated earnings on long-term contracts is included in deferred revenue. Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses The Company includes expenses in either cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative categories based upon the natural classification of the expenses. Cost of goods sold includes expenses associated with the acquisition, inspection, manufacturing and receiving of materials for use in the manufacturing process. These costs include inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs as well as depreciation, amortization, wages, benefits and other costs that are incurred directly or indirectly to support the 46 manufacturing process. Selling, general and administrative includes expenses associated with the distribution of our products, sales effort, administration costs and other costs that are not incurred to support the manufacturing process. The Company records distribution costs associated with the sale of inventory as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These expenses include warehousing costs, outbound freight charges and costs associated with distribution personnel. Our gross profit margins may not be comparable to those of other entities due to different classifications of costs and expenses. The Company purchased $3.3 million, $2.1 million, and $1.6 million from a 20% owned equity interest during the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 respectively. The inventory was purchased under customary terms and conditions and sold to customers in the ordinary course of business. Earning from this investment are not material and are accounted for under the equity method. Our total advertising expenses, which are classified under selling, general, and administrative expenses are primarily related to trade shows, and totaled $4.3 million, $5.0 million, and $4.6 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Research and Development Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs, which are classified under selling, general, and administrative expenses, were $4.9 million, $4.1 million, and $4.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Warranties The expected cost associated with warranty obligations on our products is recorded when the revenue is recognized. The Company’s estimate of warranty cost is based on contract terms and historical warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience. Since warranty estimates are forecasts based on the best available information, claims costs may differ from amounts provided. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties are made as changes in the obligations become reasonably estimable. The changes in continuing operations warranty reserve, which are recorded as accrued liabilities, during 2016, 2015, and 2014 were as follows (in thousands): Balance at beginning of year Acquisitions and other charges Warranty expense Warranty claims Balance at end of year 2016 7,436 (5) 13,503 (11,849) 9,085 $ $ 2015 6,941 3 11,086 (10,594) 7,436 $ $ $ $ 2014 6,782 274 3,937 (4,052) 6,941 The increase in warranty expense during 2016 compared to 2015 is primarily due to the introduction of a longer warranty period for sales in our Refrigeration services group. Stock-Based Compensation Plans Restricted stock awards generally vest over a three-year period. Compensation expense associated with these awards is recorded based on their grant-date fair values and is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period except for awards with performance conditions, which are recognized on a graded vesting schedule. Compensation cost for an award with a performance condition is based on the probable outcome of that performance condition. The stated vesting period is considered non-substantive for retirement eligible participants. Accordingly, the Company recognizes any remaining unrecognized compensation expense upon participant reaching retirement eligibility. Foreign Currency Translation 47 The functional currency of our non-U.S. operations is generally the local currency. Assets and liabilities of non- U.S. operations are translated into U.S. Dollars on a monthly basis using period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses of these operations are translated using average exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustment is reported as a component of comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations and were not material for any period presented. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company recognizes all derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are periodically used to limit the impact of currency fluctuations on certain anticipated foreign cash flows, such as foreign purchases of materials and loan payments from subsidiaries. The Company enters into such contracts for hedging purposes only. For hedges of intercompany loan payments, the Company records derivative gains and losses directly to the statement of operations due to the general short-term nature and predictability of the transactions. The Company also uses interest rate swaps to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness. The Company values the swaps based on contract prices in the derivatives market for similar instruments. The Company has designated the swaps as cash flow hedges, and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swaps will be reported by the Company in interest expense. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. Income Taxes Deferred assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are provided when the Company does not believe it more likely than not the benefit of identified tax assets will be realized. The Company provides reserves for potential payments of tax to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions and other issues. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is more likely than not to be realized following resolution of any potential contingencies present related to the tax benefit, assuming that the matter in question will be raised by the tax authorities. Interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions are recorded as a component of income tax expense. Earnings Per Share (share amounts in thousands) Basic – Average Shares Outstanding Effect of Dilutive Securities – Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards Diluted – Average Shares Outstanding 2016 12,682 102 12,784 2015 12,655 150 12,805 2014 12,613 165 12,778 Both basic and dilutive income is the same for computing earnings per share. There were no outstanding instruments that had an anti-dilutive effect at June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard, ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contract with 48 Customers, that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP and IFRS. The standard’s primary principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The original standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We expect to adopt this standard in the quarter ending September 30, 2018. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements In April 2015, the FASB issued accounting standard update ASU 2015-3, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Cost. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods with those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required. We adopted this standard in the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2015-3 has been completed and is reflected herein by the reclass of debt issuance cost from Other non-current assets to Long-term debt. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods with those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendment is to be applied prospectively. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of adopting ASU 2015-11 but currently we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combination (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments. The Standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments of this standard will not materially impact the Company. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASC Update 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, as part of its simplification initiatives. This update requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as non-current on the consolidated condensed balance sheet for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted. An entity can elect adoption prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of adopting ASU 2015-17. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years and early application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. For leases with a term or twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02. In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016- 09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard is applied effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09. 2. ACQUISITIONS 49 The Company’s recent acquisitions are strategically significant to the future growth prospects of the Company, however at the time of the acquisition and June 30, 2016, we concluded, that historical results of the acquired Companies both individually and in the aggregate, were immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial results and therefore additional proforma disclosures are not presented. 50 Northlake On October 1, 2015, the Company acquired Northlake Engineering, Inc., (“Northlake”), a Wisconsin-based designer, manufacturer and distributor of high reliability electromagnetic products and solutions serving the North America power distribution and medical equipment markets. Northlake reports to our Electronics segment.

GOODWILL Goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than its carrying amount of the asset. The Company’s annual test for impairment is performed using a May 31st measurement date. The Company has identified our reporting units for impairment testing as its eleven operating segments, which are aggregated into five reporting segments as disclosed in Note 18 – Industry Segment Information. As quoted market prices are not available for the Company’s reporting units, the fair value of the reporting units is determined using a discounted cash flow model (income approach). This method uses various assumptions that are specific to each individual reporting unit in order to determine the fair value. In addition, the Company compares the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units to its overall market capitalization. While the Company believes that estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, changes in assumptions could significantly affect valuations and result in impairments in the future. The most significant assumption involved in the Company’s determination of fair value is the cash flow projections of each reporting unit. If the estimates of future cash flows for each reporting unit may be insufficient to support the carrying value of the reporting units, the Company will reassess its conclusions related to fair value and the recoverability of goodwill. As a result of our annual assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, no impairment charges were recorded in connection with its assessments during 2016 and 2015. Subsequent to our annual impairment test, we disposed of $273 thousand of goodwill recorded in the Engraving segment in connection with the July 1, 2016 sale of the Roll, Plate, and Machinery business. Changes to goodwill during the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows (in thousands): Balance at beginning of year Accumulated impairment losses Balance at beginning of year, net Acquisitions Disposals Foreign currency translation Balance at end of year 6.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company discontinued a previously acquired product line within the Food Service Equipment Group. As part of this discontinuation, the Company concluded that the trademark value assigned to this product line was no longer realizable and the Company recorded a $600 thousand expense to reduce the trademark to zero. 7.

This five-year Credit Facility expires in December 2019 and has a borrowing limit of $400 million, which can be increased by an amount of up to $100 million, in accordance with specified conditions contained in the agreement. The facility also includes a $10 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $30 million sublimit for letters of credit. The facility amends and restates a previously existing $225 million revolving credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire in January 2017. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we will pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee on borrowed amounts as well as a commitment fee on unused amounts under the facility. The amount of the commitment fee will depend upon both the undrawn amount remaining available under the facility and the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) ratio at the last day of each quarter. As our funded debt to EBITDA ratio increases, the commitment fee will increase. Funds borrowed under the facility may be used for the repayment of debt, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions (so long as certain conditions, including a specified funded debt to EBITDA leverage ratio is maintained), and other general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had the ability to borrow 54 $254.4 million under the facility based on our current EBITDA. The facility contains customary representations, warranties and restrictive covenants, as well as specific financial covenants which the Company was compliant with as of June 30, 2016. The Company’s current financial covenants under the facility are as follows: Interest Coverage Ratio - The Company is required to maintain a ratio of Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, as Adjusted (“Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Agreement”), to interest expense for the trailing twelve months of at least 3.0:1. Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Agreement specifically excludes extraordinary and certain other defined items such as cash restructuring and acquisition-related charges up to $7.5 million, and unlimited non-cash charges including gains or losses on sale of property and goodwill adjustments. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s Interest Coverage Ratio was 28.76:1. Leverage Ratio - The Company’s ratio of funded debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA per the credit agreement, calculated as Adjusted EBIT per the Credit Agreement plus depreciation and amortization, may not exceed 3.5:1. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s Leverage Ratio was 1.01:1. As of June 30, 2016, we had borrowings under our facility of $93.0 million and the effective rate of interest for outstanding borrowings under the facility was 1.76%. Our primary cash requirements in addition to day-to-day operating needs include interest payments, capital expenditures, and dividends. Our primary sources of cash for these requirements are cash flows from continuing operations and borrowings under the facility. In order to manage our interest rate exposure, we are party to $50.0 million of active floating to fixed rate swaps. These swaps convert our interest payments from LIBOR to a weighted average rate of 1.43%. Other Long-Term Borrowings At June 30, 2016, and 2015, the Company had standby letter of credit sub-facility outstanding, primarily for insurance and commercial trade purposes of $7.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively. 8. ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accrued expenses recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, consist of the following (in thousands): Payroll and employee benefits Workers' compensation Warranty Other Total 2016 28,375 1,984 9,085 11,341 50,785 2015 26,329 2,586 8,066 10,761 47,742 $ $ $ $ 9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Interest Rate Swaps In order to manage our interest rate exposure, we are party to $50.0 million of active floating to fixed rate swaps. These swaps convert our interest payments from LIBOR to a weighted average rate of 1.43% at June 30, 2016. The fair value of the swaps recognized in accrued liabilities and in other comprehensive income (loss) at June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (in thousands): Effective Date March 15, 2012 $ December 19, 2014 Notional Amount 10,000 20,000 Fixed Interest Rate 2.75% 1.18% Maturity March 15, 2016 December 19, 2017 $ Fair Value at June 30, 2016 - $ (201) 2015 (186) (140) 55 December 19, 2014 December 18, 2015 December 19, 2015 5,000 15,000 10,000 1.20% 1.46% 2.01% December 19, 2017 December 19, 2018 December 19, 2019 (52) (325) (460) (1,038) $ (36) (39) (150) (551) $ The Company reported no losses for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, as a result of hedge ineffectiveness. Future changes in these swap arrangements, including termination of the agreements, may result in a reclassification of any gain or loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to these instruments is being amortized into interest expense concurrent with the hedged exposure. Foreign Exchange Contracts Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit the impact of currency fluctuations on certain anticipated foreign cash flows, such as foreign purchases of materials and loan payments to and from subsidiaries. The Company enters into such contracts for hedging purposes only. For hedges of intercompany loan payments, the Company has not elected hedge accounting due to the general short-term nature and predictability of the transactions, and records derivative gains and losses directly to the consolidated statement of operations. At June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Company had outstanding forward contracts related to hedges of intercompany loans with net unrealized gain / (losses) of $(0.1) million and $0.7 million, respectively, which approximate the unrealized gains or losses on the related loans. The contracts have maturity dates ranging from 2017-2019, which correspond to the related intercompany loans. The notional amounts of these instruments, by currency, are as follows: Currency 2016 2015 Euro Pound Sterling 2,476,683 593,799 10,134,797 1,730,542 The table below presents the fair value of derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the balance sheet at June 30, (in thousands): 2016 2015 Asset Derivatives Derivative designated as hedging instruments Foreign exchange contracts Balance Sheet Line Item Other Assets Fair Value $ 11 Balance Sheet Line Item Other Assets Fair Value $ 844 Liability Derivatives 2016 2015 Derivative designated as hedging instruments Interest rate swaps Foreign exchange contracts Balance Sheet Line Item Accrued Liabilities Accrued Liabilities Balance Sheet Line Item Accrued Liabilities Accrued Liabilities Fair Value $ $ 1,038 94 1,132 Fair Value 551 193 744 $ $ The table below presents the amount of gain (loss) recognized in comprehensive income on our derivative financial instruments (effective portion) designated as hedging instruments and their classification within comprehensive income for the periods ended (in thousands): Interest rate swaps Foreign exchange contracts $ 2016 (743) (267) $ 2015 (533) (154) $ 2014 (194) - 56 $ (1,010) $ (687) $ (194) The table below presents the amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Net Income for the periods ended (in thousands): 57 Details about Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Components Interest rate swaps Foreign exchange contracts 10.

The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 was impacted by the following items: (i) a net benefit of $0.9 million related to a bargain-sale of idle property to a charitable organization, and (ii) a benefit of $0.7 million related to the R&D tax credit, and (iii) a benefit of $4.9 million due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with beneficial tax rates. The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 was impacted by the following items: (i) a benefit of $0.5 million related to the R&D tax credit that expired during the fiscal year on December 31, and (ii) a benefit of $4.0 million due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with beneficial tax rates. The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 was impacted by the following items: (i) a benefit of $0.5 million related to the R&D tax credit that expired during the fiscal year on December 31, (ii) a benefit of $0.5 million related to a decrease in the statutory tax rate in the United Kingdom on prior period deferred tax liabilities recorded during the first quarter during the fiscal year, (iii) a benefit of $1.1 million due to non-taxable life insurance proceeds received in the third quarter and (iv) a benefit of $3.8 million due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with beneficial tax rates. Significant components of the Company’s deferred income taxes are as follows (in thousands): Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization Total deferred tax liability Deferred tax assets: Accrued compensation Accrued expenses and reserves Pension Inventory Other Net operating loss and credit carry forwards Total deferred tax asset Less: Valuation allowance Net deferred tax asset (liability) $ $ $ $ $ 2016 2015 (27,437) (27,437) $ $ (31,126) (31,126) 3,707 6,154 29,730 2,548 1,432 5,948 49,519 (649) 21,433 $ $ $ 3,911 6,680 19,624 2,066 1,741 3,983 38,005 (656) 6,223 The Company estimates the degree to which deferred tax assets, including net operating loss and credit carry forwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction and provides a valuation allowance for tax assets and loss carry forwards that it believes will more likely than not go unrealized. The valuation allowance at June 30, 2016 applies to state and foreign loss carry forwards, which management has concluded that it is more likely than not that these tax benefits will not be realized. The increase (decrease) in the valuation allowance from the prior year was less than $0.1 million. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had gross state net operating loss ("NOL") and credit carry forwards of approximately $44.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which may be available to offset future state income tax liabilities and expire at various dates from 2016 through 2035. In addition, the Company had foreign NOL carry forwards of approximately $2.6 million, $1.3 million of which carry forward indefinitely and $1.3 million that carry forward for 10 years. The Company’s income taxes currently payable for federal and state purposes have been reduced by the benefit of the tax deduction in excess of recognized compensation cost from employee stock compensation transactions. The 59 provision for income taxes that is currently payable has not been adjusted by approximately $2.1 million and $2.1 million of such benefits as they have been allocated to additional paid in capital in 2016 and 2015, respectively. A provision has not been made for U.S. or additional non-U.S. taxes on $194.5 million of undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries that could be subject to taxation if remitted to the U.S. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable on the remaining undistributed earnings. Our intention is to reinvest these earnings permanently or to repatriate the earnings only when it is tax effective to do so. Accordingly, we believe that U.S. tax on any earnings that might be repatriated would be substantially offset by U.S. foreign tax credits. The total provision for income taxes included in the consolidated financial statements was as follows (in thousands): Continuing operations Discontinued operations 2016 2015 $ $ 16,295 (55) 16,240 $ $ 20,874 (259) 20,615 $ $ 2014 18,054 (3,692) 14,362 The changes in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits during 2016, 2015 and 2014 were as follows (in thousands): Beginning Balance Additions based on tax positions related to the current year Additions for tax positions of prior years Reductions for tax positions of prior years Ending Balance 2016 1,054 2,125 - (201) 2,978 $ $ $ $ 2015 1,033 17 4 - 1,054 $ $ 2014 1,286 25 - (278) 1,033 If the unrecognized tax benefits in the table above were recognized in a future period, $2.5 million of the unrecognized tax benefit would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. Within the next twelve months, the statute of limitations will close in various U.S., state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. As a result, it is reasonably expected that net unrecognized tax benefits from these various jurisdictions would be recognized within the next twelve months. The recognition of these tax benefits is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's financial statements. The Company does not reasonably expect any other significant changes in the next twelve months. The following tax years, in the major tax jurisdictions noted, are open for assessment or refund: Country United States Canada Germany Ireland Portugal United Kingdom Years Ending June 30, 2014 to 2016 2012 to 2016 2011 to 2016 2016 to 2016 2013 to 2016 2012 to 2016 The Company’s policy is to include interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations. At both June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the company had less than $0.1 million for accrued interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits. 11. COMMITMENTS 60 The Company leases certain property and equipment under agreements with initial terms ranging from one to twenty years. Rental expense related to continuing operations for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 was approximately $6.6 million, $6.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

CONTINGENCIES From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings, including claims related to environmental remediation, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s management does not believe that the outcome of any of the currently existing legal matters will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. The Company accrues for losses related to a claim or litigation when the Company’s management considers a potential loss probable and can reasonably estimate such potential loss. 13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND PURCHASE PLANS Stock-Based Compensation Plans Under incentive compensation plans, the Company is authorized to make grants of stock options, restricted stock and performance share units to provide equity incentive compensation to key employees and directors. The stock award program offers employees and directors the opportunity to earn shares of our stock over time, rather than options that give the employees and directors the right to purchase stock at a set price. The Company has stock plans for directors, officers and certain key employees. Total compensation cost recognized in income for equity based compensation awards was $5.1million, $3.8 million, and $6.6 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively, primarily within Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for equity-based compensation plans was $1.8 million, $1.3 million, and $2.3 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 319,211 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under various compensation plans at June 30, 2016. Restricted Stock Awards The Company may award shares of restricted stock to eligible employees and non-employee directors of the Company at no cost, giving them in most instances all of the rights of stockholders, except that they may not sell, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber such shares and rights during the restriction period. Such shares and rights are subject to forfeiture if certain employment conditions are not met. During the restriction period, recipients of the shares are entitled to dividend equivalents on such shares, providing that such shares are not forfeited. Dividends are accumulated and paid out at the end of the restriction period. During 2016, 2015, and 2014, the Company granted 48,984, 43,598, and 62,698 shares, respectively, of restricted stock to eligible participants. Restrictions on the stock awards generally lapse between fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2019. For the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, $2.6 million, $2.3 million, and $3.3 million, respectively, was recognized as compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. Substantially all awards are expected to vest. 62 A summary of restricted stock awards activity during the year ended June 30, 2016 is as follows: Outstanding, June 30, 2015 Granted Exercised / vested Canceled Outstanding, June 30, 2016 Restricted Stock Awards Number of Shares Aggregate Intrinsic Value 105,079 48,984 (42,580) (6,958) 104,525 $ 8,398,964 $ 1,069,817 $ 8,636,901 Restricted stock awards granted during 2016, 2015 and 2014 had a weighted average grant date fair value of $77.38, $76.47, and $58.84, respectively. The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The total intrinsic value of awards exercised during the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $1.1million, $2.8 million, and $3.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, there was $3.1 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to awards expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.49 years. Executive Compensation Program The Company operates a compensation program for key employees. The plan contains both an annual component as well as a long-term component. Under the annual component, participants may elect to defer up to 50% of their annual incentive compensation in restricted stock which is purchased at a discount to the market. Additionally, non- employee directors of the Company may defer a portion of their director’s fees in restricted stock units which is purchased at a discount to the market. During the restriction period, recipients of the shares are entitled to dividend equivalents on such units, providing that such shares are not forfeited. Dividend equivalents are accumulated and paid out at the end of the restriction period. The restrictions on the units expire after three years. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, 30,597 and 43,549 shares of restricted stock units are outstanding and subject to restrictions that lapse between fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2019. The compensation expense associated with this incentive program is charged to income over the restriction period. The Company recorded compensation expense related to this program of $0.2 million, $0.3 million, and $0.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, there was $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to awards expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.28 years The fair value of the awards under the annual component of this incentive program is measured using the Black- Scholes option-pricing model. Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model are as follows: Risk-free interest rates Expected life of option grants (in years) Expected volatility of underlying stock Expected quarterly dividends (per share) 2016 1.10% 3 26.6% 0.12 $ 2015 0.88% 3 32.0% 0.10 $ $ 2014 0.70% 3 38.9% 0.08 Under the long-term component, grants of performance share units (“PSUs”) are made annually to key employees and the share units are earned based on the achievement of certain overall corporate financial performance targets over the performance period. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of common stock issued will be determined by adjusting upward or downward from the target in a range between 50% and 200%. No shares will be issued if the minimum performance threshold is not achieved. The final performance percentage, on which the payout will be based, considering the performance metrics established for the performance period, will be certified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. 63 The awards granted by the Committee provided that the PSUs will be converted to shares of common stock if the Company’s EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and return on assets meet specified levels approved by the Committee. A participant’s right to any shares that are earned will vest in three equal installments. An executive whose employment terminates prior to the vesting of any installment for a reason other than death, disability, retirement, or following a change in control, will forfeit the shares represented by that installment. In certain circumstances, such as death, disability, or retirement, PSUs are paid on a pro-rata basis. In the event of a change in control, vesting of the awards granted is accelerated. A summary of the awards activity under the executive compensation program during the year ended June 30, 2016 is as follows: Annual Component Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Non-vested, June 30, 2015 Granted Vested Forfeited Non-vested, June 30, 2016 43,549 12,383 (19,899) (5,436) 30,597 $ $ $ $ $ 41.70 58.35 31.50 50.58 52.62 $ 794,828 $ 880,209 $ 286,195 Performance Stock Units Number of Shares 28,450 34,124 (341) (7,497) 54,736 Aggregate Intrinsic Value $ 1,873,626 $ 18,577 $ 3,926,057 Restricted stock awards granted under the annual component of this program in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 had a grant date fair value of $82.79, $80.98, and $69.47, respectively. The PSUs granted in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014 had a grant date fair value of $76.61, $74.82, and $54.48, respectively. The total intrinsic value of awards vested under the executive compensation program during the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $2.3 million, $1.5 million, and $2.2 million, respectively. The Company recognized compensation expense related to the PSUs of $2.3 million, $1.3 million, and $2.7 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively based on the probability of the performance targets being met. The total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested performance share units was $1.6 million at June 30, 2016, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.30 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan that allows employees to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at a discount from the market each quarter. Shares of our stock may be purchased by employees quarterly at 95% of the fair market value on the last day of each quarter. Shares of stock reserved for the plan were 90,679 at June 30, 2016. Shares purchased under this plan aggregated 3,809, 3,382, and 4,473 in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, at an average price of $75.66, $74.42, and $58.54, respectively. 14. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) The components of the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at June 30 are as follows (in thousands): Foreign currency translation adjustment Unrealized pension losses, net of tax Unrealized losses on derivative instruments, net of tax Total 15.

In June 2014, the Company divested the American Foodservice Company, (“AFS”) a manufacturer of custom design and fabrication of counter systems and cabinets, in our Food Service Equipment segment. In connection with this sale, the Company received proceeds of $3.1 million and recorded a net loss on disposal of $3.2 million. On March 30, 2012, Air Distribution Products Group, (“ADP”) was sold to a private equity buyer for consideration of $16.1 million consisting of $13.1 million in cash and a $3.0 million promissory note from the buyer. The note was secured by a mortgage on the ADP real estate sold in the transaction in Detroit Lakes, MN, Medina, NY, and Powder Springs, GA. During the first quarter 2016, the private equity buyer of ADP sold one of the facilities securing the note. The Company released all mortgages on the properties and accepted an advanced payment of $2.8 million during October 2015 in order to reduce repayment risk and settle all obligations under the note. The Company recorded a $0.2 million loss in discontinued operations during the first quarter 2016 related to this transaction. The Company remained the obligor of ADP’s Philadelphia, PA facility and administrative offices. We have entered into a renewable sublease agreement with a third party for this space. Our total obligation with respect to the lease is $0.7 million, of which $0.3 million was recorded as a liability at June 30, 2016. We do not expect to record additional charges related to these obligations. During 2014, the Company received notice that its obligations under a guarantee provided to the buyers of ADP were triggered as a result of its withdrawal from both of the multi-employer pension plans in which ADP previously participated. The last of these obligations were settled in July of fiscal year 2016 by a $0.5 million payment to the final multi-employer plan.

The Company’s 2016 initiatives to date include the movement of manufacturing from a legacy Canadian facility into our newly acquired Northlake facility and a reduction of personnel in those locations impacted by the slowdown in the oil and gas market. Restructuring expenses during fiscal year 2016 were $4.2 million primarily related to a $1.7 million non-cash charge from the sale of a vacant property and a $0.7 million non-cash charge to discontinue a product line at our Refrigeration Solutions group. Restructuring activities related to 2016 initiatives are substantially complete. The Company anticipates further restructuring charges in 2017 based upon market conditions and cost reduction activities to improve our competitive advantage.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Retirement Plans The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering certain current and former employees both inside and outside of the U.S. The Company’s pension plan for U.S. salaried employees was frozen as of December 31, 2007, and participants in the plan ceased accruing future benefits. The Company’s pension plan for U.S. hourly employees was frozen for substantially all participants as of July 31, 2013, and replaced with a defined contribution benefit plan. During fiscal 2015, the Society of Actuaries released new mortality tables that reflect increased life expectancy over the previous tables. The company incorporated these new tables into the 2015 measurement of its U.S. pension obligations. Net periodic benefit cost for U.S. and non-U.S. plans included the following components (in thousands): Service Cost Interest Cost U.S. Plans Year Ended June 30, 2015 $ 211 10,476 $ 2014 233 11,241 $ 2016 70 11,489 Foreign Plans Year Ended June 30, 2015 2016 $ 34 $ 44 $ 1,428 1,618 2014 46 1,723 67 Expected return on plan assets Recognized net actuarial loss Amortization of prior service cost (benefit) (13,864) (13,954) 3,979 3,945 (13,513) 3,941 (1,294) (1,474) 835 750 (1,532) 819 Curtailment Net periodic benefit cost (benefit) $ - 1,688 $ 244 976 $ - 1,959 $ 14 54 57 (49) - 954 $ (53) - 885 $ (60) - 996 The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts recognized as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 for our U.S. and foreign defined benefit pension plans (in thousands): U.S. Plans Year Ended June 30, 2016 2015 Foreign Plans Year Ended June 30, 2016 2015 Change in benefit obligation Benefit obligation at beginning of year Service cost Interest cost Actuarial loss (gain) Benefits paid Foreign currency exchange rate Projected benefit obligation at end of year Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year Actual return on plan assets Employer contribution Benefits paid Foreign currency exchange rate Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 252,215 70 11,489 20,964 (15,576) - 269,162 204,710 8,510 206 (15,576) - 197,850 240,426 $ 211 10,476 16,570 (15,468) - 252,215 $ $ 216,043 3,900 235 (15,468) - 204,710 $ $ 43,681 34 1,428 3,929 (1,686) (5,566) 41,820 37,366 3,670 1,264 (1,686) (5,607) 35,007 $ $ $ $ 44,278 44 1,618 3,996 (1,455) (4,800) 43,681 37,487 3,410 1,336 (1,455) (3,412) 37,366 (71,312) $ (47,505) $ (6,813) $ (6,315) Funded Status Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets consists of: Prepaid Benefit Cost Current liabilities Non-current liabilities Net amount recognized $ $ $ - (248) (71,064) (71,312) Unrecognized net actuarial loss Unrecognized prior service cost Accumulated other comprehensive income, pre-tax $ $ 137,053 - 137,053 $ - $ (199) (47,306) (47,505) 114,715 14 114,729 $ $ $ $ $ $ 422 (286) (6,949) (6,813) 10,122 (81) 10,041 $ $ $ $ 107 (313) (6,109) (6,315) 10,655 (130) 10,525 The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $310.4 million and $295.0 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Standex rebalances the portfolio periodically when the allocation is not within the desired range of exposure. The plan seeks to provide returns in excess of the various benchmarks. The benchmarks include the following indices: S&P 500; Citigroup PMI EPAC; Citigroup World Government Bond and Barclays Aggregate Bond. A third party investment consultant tracks the plan’s portfolio relative to the benchmarks and provides quarterly investment reviews which consist of a performance and risk assessment on all investment managers and on the portfolio. Certain managers within the plan use, or have authorization to use, derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes, the creation of market exposures and management of country and asset allocation exposure. Currency speculation derivatives are strictly prohibited.

The U.S. defined benefit pension plans represent the majority of our pension obligations. The expected return on plan assets assumption is based on our expectation of the long-term average rate of return on assets in the pension funds and is reflective of the current and projected asset mix of the funds. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year. The discount rate is determined by matching our expected benefit payments from a stream of AA- or higher bonds available in the marketplace, adjusted to eliminate the effects of call provisions. Expected benefit payments for the next five years are as follows: 2017, $17.1 million; 2018, $17.1 million; 2019, $17.2 million; 2020, $17.4 million; 2021, $17.2 million and thereafter, $89.1 million. The Company expects to make $1.4 million of contributions to its pension plans in 2017. The Company operates a defined benefit plan in Germany which is unfunded. Multi-Employer Pension Plans We contribute to a number of multiemployer defined benefit plans under the terms of collective bargaining agreements that cover our union-represented employees. These plans generally provide for retirement, death and/or termination benefits for eligible employees within the applicable collective bargaining units, based on specific eligibility/participation requirements, vesting periods and benefit formulas. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. If a participating employer stops contributing to the multiemployer plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. If we choose to stop participating in some of our multiemployer plans, we may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. However, cessation of participation in a multiemployer plan and subsequent payment of any withdrawal liability is subject to the collective bargaining process. The following table outlines the Company’s participation in multiemployer pension plans for the periods ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, and sets forth the yearly contributions into each plan. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit plan number. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2016 and 2015 relates to the plans’ two most recent fiscal year-ends. The zone status is based on information that we received from the plans’ administrators and is certified by each plan’s actuary. Among other factors, plans certified in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans certified in the orange zone are both less than 80% funded and have an accumulated funding deficiency or are expected to have a deficiency in any of the next six plan years, plans certified in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded, and plans certified in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates whether a financial improvement plan (“FIP”) for yellow/orange zone plans, or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) for red zone plans, is either pending or has been implemented. For all plans, the Company’s contributions do not exceed 5% of the total contributions to the plan in the most recent year.

Substantially all of our full-time domestic employees are covered by these savings plans. Under the provisions of the plans, employees may contribute a portion of their compensation within certain limitations. The Company, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, may make contributions on behalf of our employees under the plans. Company contributions were $4.0 million, $3.8 million, and $4.0 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2016, the salaried plan holds approximately 84,000 shares of Company common stock, representing approximately 7% of the holdings of the plan. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions The Company sponsors an unfunded postretirement medical plan covering certain full-time employees who retire and have attained the requisite age and years of service. Retired employees are required to contribute toward the cost of coverage according to various established rules. The accumulated benefit obligation of the post-retirement medical plan was less than $0.2 million at both June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. The plan holds no assets as the Company makes contributions as benefits are due. Contributions for each of the last two fiscal years were less than $0.1 million. The net periodic benefit cost for each of the last three fiscal years was less than $0.1 million. A 1% increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate does not impact either the accumulated benefit obligation or the net postretirement cost, as the employer contribution for each participant is a fixed amount. 18. INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has determined that it has five reportable segments organized around the types of product sold: • • • • • Food Service Equipment – an aggregation of seven operating segments that manufacture and sell commercial food service equipment; Engraving – provides mold texturizing, slush molding and in-mold graining tools, project management and design services, roll engraving, hygiene product tooling, low observation vents for stealth aircraft, and process machinery for a number of industries; Engineering Technologies – provides net and near net formed single-source customized solutions in the manufacture of engineered components for the aviation, aerospace, defense, energy, industrial, medical, marine, oil and gas, and manned and unmanned space markets. Electronics – manufacturing and selling of electronic components for applications throughout the end-user market spectrum, and Hydraulics – manufacturing and selling of single and double-acting telescopic and piston rod hydraulic cylinders. Net sales include only transactions with unaffiliated customers and include no significant intersegment or export sales. Operating income by segment and geographic area excludes general corporate and interest expenses. Assets of the Corporate segment consist primarily of cash, office equipment, and other non-current assets. Given the nature of our corporate expenses, management has concluded that it would not be appropriate to allocate the expenses associated with corporate activities to our operating segments. These corporate expenses include the costs for the corporate headquarters, salaries and wages for the personnel in corporate, professional fees related to corporate matters and compliance efforts, stock-based compensation and post-retirement benefits related to our 71 corporate executives, officers and directors, and other compliance related costs. The Company has a process to allocate and recharge certain direct costs to the operating segments when such direct costs are administered and paid at corporate. Such direct expenses that are recharged on an intercompany basis each month include such costs as insurance, workers’ compensation programs, audit fees and pension expense. The accounting policies applied by the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Accounting Policies footnote to the consolidated financial statements. There are no differences in accounting policies which would be necessary for an understanding of the reported segment information. 72 Industry Segments (in thousands) Food Service Equipment Engraving Engineering Technologies Electronics Hydraulics Corporate and Other Total Food Service Equipment Engraving Engineering Technologies Electronics Hydraulics Restructuring charge Other operating income (expense), net (1) Corporate Total Interest expense Other, net Income from continuing operations before income taxes $ $ $ $ $ 2016 Net Sales 2015 $ $ 381,867 124,120 82,235 118,319 45,045 - 751,586 408,706 110,781 97,018 114,196 41,441 - 772,142 $ $ Depreciation and Amortization 2014 377,848 109,271 79,642 114,881 34,538 - 716,180 2016 $ 5,030 3,403 5,363 3,200 651 306 $ 17,953 $ $ 2015 5,176 3,497 4,278 2,759 665 309 16,684 2014 4,485 3,342 3,063 2,807 625 269 14,591 $ $ Income (Loss) From Operations Capital Expenditures(2) 2016 2015 $ $ 40,142 29,579 8,258 21,104 7,947 (4,232) (7,458) (24,996) 70,344 (2,871) 1,052 37,456 24,250 13,097 20,884 7,013 (3,443) 438 (21,051) 78,644 (3,161) 634 $ $ 2014 38,203 22,145 12,676 19,732 5,781 (10,077) 3,462 (26,054) 65,868 (2,249) 4,184 68,525 $ 76,117 $ 67,803 2016 $ $ 4,560 4,031 6,562 2,796 988 - $ 2015 4,791 5,856 8,025 2,298 784 - 2014 3,740 4,648 7,686 1,631 684 - - 96 $ 19,033 $ - - 268 22,022 1,531 $ 19,920 (1) Other operating expense in 2016 consists primarily of a $7.3 million charge to adjust the Roll, Plate, and Machinery business in the Engraving segment to its net realizable value.

INSURANCE PROCEEDS The Company recorded $0.4 million and $3.5 million in 2015 and 2014 of net gains, as components of other operating income net, from insurance proceeds we received related to a catastrophic failure of a large vertical machining center located at our Engineering Technologies facility in Massachusetts. Insurance proceeds of $4.5 million in 2014 were partially offset by the write-off of the net book value of the machine of $1.0 million. During 2014, the Company recorded $3.4 million gain, as a component of other non-operating income net, from proceeds for a life insurance policy triggered by the death of a former executive. This life insurance policy relates to an inactive program for key executives. There are six retired executives remaining in this program and current management is ineligible to participate. 20.

Accordingly, the sum of the quarterly earnings per share amounts may not agree to the year-to-date amounts. 22. SUBSEQUENT EVENT Subsequent to our fiscal 2016 year-end, the Company sold its U.S. Roll Plate and Machinery business as it was not strategic and did not meet our growth and return expectations. This divestiture also allows the Company’s management to focus on higher growth and better return businesses within the Engraving segment. The Company entered into an agreement for this sale in June 2016 that closed in fiscal July 2017. During the fourth quarter, the Company recorded a $7.3 million non-cash loss to adjust the net assets of the business to their net realizable value of $2.4 million, which is recorded as an asset held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The expense is recorded as a component of Other Operating Income (Expense), net. The sale of the business does not constitute a significant strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. 75 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and Stockholders Standex International Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Standex International Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2016.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Standex International Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2016 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), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, 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 August 25, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP Boston, Massachusetts August 25, 2016 76 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Standex International Corporation Salem, New Hampshire We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, equity and cash flows of Standex International Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) for the year ended June 30, 2014.

Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure Not Applicable Item 9A. Controls and Procedures The management of the Company including its Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of June 30, 2016, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. SEC guidance permits the exclusion of an evaluation of the effectiveness of a registrant's disclosure controls and procedures as they relate to the internal control over financial reporting for an acquired business during the first year following such acquisition. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this Report, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Northlake Engineering, Inc., (“Northlake”) on October 1, 2015. Northlake represents less than 1.0% of the Company's consolidated revenue for the year ended June 30, 2016 and approximately 2.5% of the Company's consolidated assets at June 30, 2016. Management's evaluation and conclusion as to the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016 excludes any evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Northlake. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with management’s evaluation that occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year (ended June 30, 2016) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting The management of Standex is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 240.13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report on Form 10-K. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).” These criteria are in the areas of control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication and monitoring. Management’s assessment included documenting, evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on the Company’s processes, as described above, management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2016 to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives. These results were reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Grant Thornton, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an unqualified attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which is included below. Inherent Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls 78 No matter how well designed, internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect all misstatements that might be due to error or fraud. In addition, a design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. 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, within the Company have been detected. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and Stockholders Standex International Corporation We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Standex International Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 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 (“Management’s Report”). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. Our audit of, and opinion on, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not include the internal control over financial reporting of Northlake Engineering, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 2.5 percent and 1 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016. As indicated in Management’s Report, Northlake Engineering, Inc. was acquired during fiscal 2016. Management’s assertion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting excluded internal control over financial reporting of Northlake Engineering, Inc. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. 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. 79 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. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, 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), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, and our report dated August 25, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP Boston, Massachusetts August 25, 2016 Item 9B.

DUNBAR WHEREAS, Employer is desirous of retaining the services of Executive and Executive is desirous of providing services to the Employer in a senior executive capacity upon the terms and conditions herein set forth; NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows: 1. Employment. Employer hereby agrees to employ Executive on a full-time basis and Executive agrees to serve Employer on a full-time basis as President/Chief Executive Officer, subject to the direction and control of the Board of Directors of Employer (the "Board"), said employment being upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. Executive shall be appointed to the Board upon becoming Chief Executive Officer and shall be nominated for reelection to the Board at the end of each term thereafter so long as the Executive's employment is not terminated. 2. Term. The initial term (the "Initial Term") of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement and continue through midnight on December 31, 2016, unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6 or 15. Unless terminated, this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional terms of three years (each such term shall be referred to as a "Renewal Term"). In addition to the right to terminate set forth in Sections 6 and 15, either the Employer or the Executive shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time during or at the end of the Term or any Renewal Term by giving the other party thirty (30) days' advance written notice (the "Notice Period") at any time stating his/its intention to terminate the Agreement. Such termination will be effective at the end of the Notice Period and, if notice is given by the Employer, shall be treated as a termination without Cause. 3. Best Efforts. Executive agrees that during the Term he shall devote his best efforts, time and attention to the business of Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Term the Executive may be involved in charitable and professional activities (including serving on boards and committees), serve, with the prior written consent of the Board, on other boards and manage his and his family's personal passive investments so long as they do not interfere, in the sole opinion of the Board with the performance of the Executive's duties hereunder. 92 4. Non-Compete. Except as set forth in the third paragraph of this Section 4 and in Section 3, Executive shall not, as long as this Agreement is in effect, engage in, or be interested in, in any active capacity, any business other than that of Employer or any affiliate, associate or subsidiary corporation of Employer. It is the express intent of the Employer and the Executive that: (i) the covenants and affirmative obligations in this Section be binding obligations to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) in the event of any determination of unenforceability of the scope of any covenant or obligation, its limitation which a court of competent jurisdiction deems fair and reasonable, shall be the sole basis for relief from the full enforcement thereof; and (iii) in no event shall the covenants or obligations in this Section be deemed wholly unenforceable. In addition, except as set forth in the third paragraph of this Section 4, Executive shall not for a period of two years after the termination of employment with Employer (whether such termination is by reason of the expiration of this Agreement or for any other reason) compete with or directly or indirectly own, control, manage, operate, join or participate in the ownership, control, management or operation of any business which competes with any present or future business of Employer at the time of such termination. In addition, the Executive covenants and agrees that he will not, for a period of two years after termination of employment with the Employer, directly or indirectly solicit for employment or retain or hire any employees of the Employer. No provision contained in this paragraph shall restrict Executive from making investments in other ventures which are not competitive with Employer, or restrict Executive from engaging, during non-business hours, in any other such non-competitive business or restrict Executive from owning less than five per cent of the outstanding securities of companies which compete with any present or future business of Employer and which are listed on a national stock exchange or actively traded on the NASDAQ National Market System. 5. Compensation; Benefits. (a) Base Compensation. Employer agrees to compensate Executive for his services at a minimum annual base salary rate of $700,000. Such base salary shall be payable at least monthly and shall be increased (but not decreased) as determined (in its sole discretion) by Employer. (b) Signing Bonus. On January 22, 2014, the Employer shall pay the Executive a onetime cash signing bonus in the amount of $500,000 (the "Signing Bonus"). The Executive covenants and agrees that in the event Executive terminates his employment in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 (other than in accordance with Section 6(c)) or is terminated by the Employer in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(c) of this Agreement within 12 months of the Effective Date, the Executive shall be required to promptly, but in no event less than forty-five (45) days after termination, reimburse the Employer for the full amount of the Signing Bonus. (c) Buy-Out Grant. On the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Executive shall receive a restricted stock grant equal to 175% of the Executive's initial base compensation in the amount of $1,225,000 (the "Buy-Out Grant"). The Buy-Out Grant shall consist of restricted stock of Standex International Corporation valued based on the closing price of the stock on the Effective Date. Vesting of this Buy-Out Grant will occur in two equal installments on October 1, 93 2014 and October 1, 2015, respectively, provided that corporate performance criteria as set out in the Buy-Out Grant Agreement are satisfied, and further provided that if the Executive terminates his employment in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 (other than in accordance with Section 6(c)) or is terminated by the Employer in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(c) of this Agreement within 12 months of the Effective Date, the Executive shall be required to transfer back to the Employer, within forty five (45) days after such termination, any shares of stock which have been delivered to him, or repay the Employer the value received upon the sale of any such shares, if they have been sold, (d) Inducement Grant. As an inducement, on the Effective Date, the Employer will grant an award for fiscal 2014 under its Long Term Incentive Plan having a value equal to 175% of the Executive's initial annualized base salary of $700,000. The award and payouts made under it will be governed by the terms established for all such awards granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on August 29, 2013. (e) Annual Cash Bonus. Employer agrees to provide Executive an annual incentive bonus opportunity, payable each September after the close of the fiscal year, at a target of 85% of base compensation and variable from 0% to 200% of target based on the achievement of certain financial metrics set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The target for the bonus may increase from year to year as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Employer. For fiscal year 2014 only, Employer agrees to pay no less than Executive's target bonus pro-rated from his start date. (f) Long Term Incentive Plan. Executive will participate in the Standex Long Term Incentive Plan at an initial target of 175% of base compensation which may be adjusted upward from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Employer. (g) Legal Expenses. Employer also agrees to pay Executive's legal fees directly related to the revision and modification of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Employer pay more than $[15,000] for such legal fees and related expenses. All such legal fees payable by the Employer shall be fully and completely documented, identifying each service provided and with a breakdown of the time and dates on which such services are performed. (g) Other Benefit Plans and Programs. Executive shall also be entitled to participate in the Standex Long Term Incentive Program, the Standex Annual Incentive Program, the Standex Retirement Savings Plan, the Standex Deferred Compensation Plan, and in such other benefit plans and programs as are made available from time to time to senior executives of the Employer. Executive shall be entitled to use of an automobile furnished at the expense of Employer in accordance with Employer's policy on this subject, as such policy shall be revised from time to time. (h) Relocation Expenses. Employer will pay for all reasonable and customary relocation expenses incurred in calendar year 2014 associated with the Executive's move from Switzerland to the Salem, New Hampshire or surrounding area. The total relocation expenses, including related tax assistance to be paid by the Employer shall not exceed $125,000. In addition, the Employer will pay for all reasonable and customary expenses related to the sale of the Executive's home in Pennsylvania including the broker's fee and the cost of moving personal items and household possessions from Pennsylvania to the Salem, New Hampshire or surrounding area. [Tax gross up.] The Executive covenants and agrees that in the event 94 Executive terminates his employment in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 (other than in accordance with Section 6(c)) or is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(c) of this Agreement within 12 months of the Effective Date, the Executive shall be required to promptly, but in no event more than forty five (45) days after the date of termination, reimburse the Employer for the full amount of the relocation expenses paid by the Employer. 6. Termination. (a) Death. Executive's employment shall terminate forthwith upon his death and all liability of Employer under this Agreement or otherwise shall thereupon cease except for any compensation for past services remaining unpaid (including any bonus due for any previously completed year, paid when it would otherwise have been paid), for benefits due to Executive's estate or to others under the terms of any benefit plan or agreement then in effect, as provided herein or with regard to indemnification and directors and officers liability insurance coverage ("Accruals"). In addition, Executive shall fully vest in the Buy-Out Grant. (b) Disability. In the event that Executive becomes disabled during the term of this Agreement for a period of at least six (6) consecutive months, as the term "disabled" is defined in any applicable long-term disability plan or arrangement sponsored by the Employer and covering the Employee, then Employer, at its option, may terminate Executive's employment and this Agreement upon at least six (6) additional months advance written notification to Executive. Until such termination option is exercised and the six month period has been satisfied, or as otherwise mutually agreed in writing, Executive will continue to receive his full salary and fringe benefits during any period of illness or other disability, regardless of duration. Upon such termination Executive shall receive his Accruals and fully vest in the Buy-Out Grant. (c) Material Breach. In the event of a material breach of the terms of this Agreement by Executive or Employer, the non-breaching party may cause this Agreement to be terminated on 10 days written notice, provided, however, that termination by Employer for material breach following a change of control, as defined in Section 15, shall be effective only upon twelve (12) months prior written notice. Employer may remove Executive from all duties and authority commencing on the first day of any such notice period, however, payment of compensation and participation in all benefits shall continue through the last day of such notice period. For purposes of this Agreement material breach by the Executive shall be defined as: (i) an act or acts of dishonesty on the Executive's part which are intended to result in his substantial personal enrichment at the expense of the Employer; or (ii) the Executive willfully, deliberately and continuously fails to materially and substantially perform his duties hereunder and which result in material injury to the Employer (other than such failure resulting from the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental disability) after demand for substantial performance is given by the Employer to the Executive specifically identifying the manner in which the Employer believes the Executive has not materially and substantially performed his duties hereunder. 95 No action, or failure to act, shall be considered "willful" if it is done by the Executive in good faith and with reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Employer. 7. Severance. In the event that Executive's employment is terminated by the Employer pursuant to Section 2 or Section 6(b) of this Agreement (exclusive of a termination after a change in control where severance is governed by the provisions contained in Section 15 herein and exclusive of termination pursuant to Section 6(a) or 6(c)), the Executive shall receive severance pay in an amount equal to twice the Executive's then current annual base compensation plus Accruals and full vesting of the Buy-Out Grant. Such severance amount shall be paid as follows: (i) an amount equal to twice the limit on annual compensation that may be taken into account for qualified plan purposes under Section 401(a)17 of the Code for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the termination occurs (the "Limitation Amount") shall be paid to the Executive, in equal installments, made in accordance with the payroll practices of the Employer, commencing as of the date on which the Executive's termination occurs, and continuing until the second anniversary date thereafter; and (ii) a lump sum payment, to be made within five (5) business days after the date of termination of employment, equal to twice the Executive's then current base compensation less the Limitation Amount. The Executive shall also receive monthly during the first year after termination an amount equal to the COBRA premium for medical and dental coverage as is then being offered to salaried employees at the Employer's corporate home office. Notwithstanding the foregoing such amount for medical and dental coverage shall cease upon the Executive commencing other medical and dental insurance coverage through a new employer during the one year period. 8. Notices. Any notice to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, by a recognized courier service or electronically (with a copy mailed via first class mail, postage pre-paid) or delivered in person to the parties at their respective business or residential addresses as the parties may from time to time designate in writing. 9. Invention and Trade Secret Agreement. Executive agrees that the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement by and between Executive and Standex International Corporation and signed by Executive on the Effective Date shall remain in full force and effect while this Agreement is in effect and, as provided in the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement, after termination hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling. 10. Specific Performance. It is acknowledged by both parties that damages will be an inadequate remedy to Employer in the event that Executive breaches or threatens to breach his commitments under Section 4 or under the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement. Therefore, it is agreed that Employer, may institute and maintain an action or proceeding to compel the specific performance of the promises of Executive contained herein and therein. Such remedy shall, however, be cumulative, and not exclusive, to any other remedy that Employer may have. 11. Survival. The obligations contained in Sections 4 and 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. In addition, the termination of this Agreement shall not affect 96 any of the rights or obligations of either party arising prior to or at the time of the termination of this Agreement or which may arise by any event causing the termination of this Agreement. 12. Covenants Severable. In the event that any covenant of this Agreement shall be determined invalid or unenforceable and the remaining provisions can be given effect, then such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 13. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement supersedes any employment understanding or agreement (except the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement) that may have been previously made by Employer or its respective subsidiaries or affiliates with Executive. This Agreement, together with the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement, represents all the terms and conditions and the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the employment of Executive by Employer. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement signed by Employer and Executive. 14. Assignment. This Agreement is personal between Employer and Executive and may not be assigned; provided, however, that Employer shall have the absolute right at any time, or from time to time, to sell or otherwise dispose of its assets or any part thereof or to reconstitute the same into one or more subsidiary corporations or divisions or to merge, consolidate or enter into similar transactions. In the event of any such transaction, the term "Employer" as used herein shall mean and include such successor corporation. The term "Employer" shall specifically include any corporation which becomes the parent corporation of Standex after the date of this Agreement, and any entity which acquires control of the Employer as a result of a "Change in Control," as defined in Section 15(c). 15. Change of Control. (a) In the event of a "Change in Control" of Employer that is a change covered by Trea. Reg. 1-409A-3(i)(5): (i) Employer may terminate Executive's employment without paying the compensation and benefits described in Section 15(b) below only upon conclusive evidence of substantial and indisputable intentional personal malfeasance in office such as a conviction for embezzlement of Employer's funds; and (ii) Executive may terminate his employment at any time within two years after the date of the change in control and receive the compensation and benefits described in Section 15(b) below if any of the following events occur: (i) the assignment to the Executive of any position in which he is not serving as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Employer, with responsibility and authority for all of the operations of the Employer, (ii) any change in the Executive's reporting relationship, such that he is no longer reporting solely to the Board of Directors of the Employer, (iii) any reduction in the budget of the Employer over which the Executive has ultimate authority which results in his having control over less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Employer's budget, (iv) any material diminution of the Executive's base compensation or his incentive compensation opportunity, (v) any change in the Executive's place of employment to a geographic location more than ten miles from his present place of employment, and (vi) any other action or inaction of the Employer that constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. 97 (b) Following a change of control of Employer, any termination of Executive's employment within two (2) years thereafter either by Executive pursuant to Section 15(a)(ii) or by Employer under any circumstances other than involving conclusive evidence of substantial and indisputable intentional personal malfeasance in office, as defined in Section 15(a)(i) then: (i) Executive shall be paid within five (5) business days of the date of termination, a lump sum payment equal to three times his then current annual base salary plus three times the higher of the most recent annual bonus paid to him under the Annual Incentive Program or his target bonus amount under the Annual Incentive Program as in effect on the date immediately prior to the change in control (which shall include any amounts used to purchase shares of common stock of the Employer under the Management Stock Purchase Program ("MSPP")); (ii) Executive shall become 100% vested in all benefit plans in which awards have been made to him which have not vested as of the date of termination, including but not limited to the Standex Retirement Savings Plan, MSPP portion of the Standex Annual Incentive Program and all restricted stock grants and performance share units granted under the Standex Long Term Incentive Plan and any other stock option or equity compensation plans of the Employer; and (iii) The Executive and his dependents shall continue for the three (3) year period commencing on the date of termination of employment to be entitled to life insurance and medical benefits under plans, programs or arrangements of the Employer which offer substantially similar coverage as were offered under the plans, programs and arrangements of the Employer as in effect immediately prior to the termination of the Executive's employment, at a cost to the Executive which is no higher (except for any percentage increase in the premium cost of providing such benefits, as long as the Executive continues to pay not more than the same percentage of any premium as he was paying immediately prior to the date of the Executive's termination of employment) than the cost of such plans, programs and arrangements in effect immediately prior to the termination of the Executive's employment, provided that with regard to medical benefits the Executive shall be required to pay the full cost therefor (which shall be equal to the COBRA cost) and the Employer shall monthly reimburse the Executive for an amount equal to the excess of the COBRA amount over the premium percentage he was paying immediately prior to termination. (iv) In the event that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive made by the Employer, by any of its affiliates, by any person or entity which acquires ownership or effective control or ownership of a substantial portion of the Employer's assets within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and all related regulations or any similar federal tax that may hereinafter be imposed, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (collectively called the "Total Payments"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and all related regulations or any similar federal tax that may hereinafter be imposed or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties are hereinafter collectively 98 referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the amount paid to the Executive shall be reduced, in such manner as is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Employer, to the maximum amount that can be paid to the Executive without requiring the payment of an excise tax, as described in Section 4999 of the Code on "excess parachute payments," as defined therein, if and to the extent necessary for the Executive to receive a greater after-tax benefit than if the amounts otherwise received by the Executive would require payment of the excise tax described in Section 4999 of the Code. (c) "Change in Control" means any event or series of events by which: (i) any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding any employee benefit plan of such person or its subsidiaries, and any person or entity acting in its capacity as trustee, agent or other fiduciary or administrator of any such plan) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except that a person or group has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time (such right, an "option right")), directly or indirectly, of at least a majority of the equity securities of the Employer entitled to vote for members of the Board of Directors of the Employer (and taking into account all such securities that such "person" or "group" has the right to acquire pursuant to any option right) (the "Voting Securities"); or (ii) the Employer is party to a merger or consolidation, or series of related transactions, which results in the Voting Securities outstanding immediately prior thereto failing to continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or another entity) at least a majority of the combined voting power of the Voting Securities or the voting securities of such surviving or other entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (iii) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Employer's assets (or consummation of any transaction, or series of related transactions, having similar effect); or (iv) during any period of 12 consecutive months, 75% of the members of the Board of Directors cease to be comprised of individuals (i) who were members of the Board of Directors on the first day of such period, (ii) whose election or nomination to the Board of Directors was approved by individuals referred to in clause (i) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of the Board of Directors, or (iii) whose election or nomination to the Board of Directors was approved by individuals referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of the Board of 99 Directors (excluding, in the case of both clause (ii) and clause (iii), any individual whose initial nomination for, or assumption of office as, a member of the Board of Directors, occurs as a result of an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents for the election of removal of one or more directors by any person or group other than a solicitation for the election of one or more directors by or on behalf of the Board of Directors); or 16. Governing Law; Binding Nature of Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Hampshire and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective heirs, executors, administrator s, successors and assigns. 17. Compliance. Code Section 409A. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement shall either be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A of the Code and all regulations, guidance and other interpretive authority issued thereunder so as not to subject you to payment of any additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under Code Section 409A, and this Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. (b) To the extent that the reimbursement of any expenses or the provision of any in - kind benefits under this Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A, (i) the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, during any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year (provided, that, this clause (i) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Code Section 105(b) solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect); (ii) reimbursement of any such expense shall be made by no later than December 31 of the year following the calendar year in which such expense is incurred; and (iii) Executive's right to receive such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any tax gross-up payment (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v)) provided for in this Agreement shall be made to Executive no later than the end of your taxable year next following your taxable year in which Executive remits the related taxes. (c) If Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of his separation from service (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)), then any payment or benefit pursuant to this Agreement on account of his separation from service, to the extent such payment constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A and required to be delayed pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (after taking into account any exclusions applicable to such payment under Code Section 409A), shall not be made until the first business day after (i) the expiration of six (6) months from the date of his separation from service, or (ii) if earlier, the date of his death (the "Delay Period"). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 20(c) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to him in a lump sum and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in 100 accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A, references to Executive's "termination of employment" (and corollary terms) with the Employer shall be construed to refer to his "separation from service" (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)) with the Employer. (d) Whenever payments under this Agreement are to be made in installments, each such installment shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., "payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date of termination"), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Employer. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Employer has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its officers thereunto duly authorized and its corporate seal to be hereto affixed, and Executive has executed the within instrument as a sealed document, all as of the day and year first above written.

(c) Annual Incentive Compensation. Employee shall receive an annual incentive bonus opportunity payable each September after the close of the fiscal year, at a target of 50% of base compensation and variable from 0% to 200% of target based on a combination of the achievement of certain financial metrics and individual performance against individual strategic goals set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Employer.

Termination. In addition to the provisions concerning notice of termination in the second paragraph of Section 1, this Agreement shall terminate upon the following events: (a) Death: Employee's employment shall terminate upon his death, and all liability of Employer shall thereupon cease except for compensation for past services remaining 103 unpaid and for any benefits due to Employee's estate or others under the terms of any benefit plan of Employer then in effect in which Employee participated. (b) Disability: In the event that Employee becomes substantially disabled during the term of this Agreement for a period of six consecutive months so that he is unable to perform the services as contemplated herein, then Employer, at its option, may terminate Employee's employment upon written notification to Employee. Until such termination option is exercised, Employee will continue to receive his full salary and fringe benefits during any period of illness or other disability, regardless of duration. (c) Material Breach: In the event of the commission of any material breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Employee or Employer, the non-breaching party may cause this Agreement to be terminated on ten (10) days written notice. Employer may remove Employee from all duties and authority commencing on the first day of any such notice period, however, payment of compensation and participation in all benefits shall continue through the last day of such notice period. For purposes of this Agreement, material breach by Employee shall be defined as: (i) An act or acts of dishonesty on the Employee's part which are intended to result in his substantial personal enrichment at the expense of the Employer; (ii) the Employee willfully, deliberately and continuously fails to materially and substantially perform his duties hereunder and which result in material injury to the Employer (other than such failure resulting from the Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental disability) after demand for substantial performance is given by the Employer to the Employee specifically identifying the manner in which the Employer believes Employee has not materially and substantially performed his duties hereunder; or (iii) the Employee willfully and deliberately fails to comply with the Employer's code of conduct, financial corporate policies or other significant, written corporate policies of the Employer. No action, or failure to act, shall be considered "willful" if it is done by the Employee in good faith and with reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Employer. Termination pursuant to Section 5(c) above, where material breach is committed by the Employee, shall not qualify for any severance under Section 6 below. 6. Severance. In the event that Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement (exclusive of a termination after a change in control where severance is governed by the provisions contained in Section 13 herein and exclusive of termination pursuant to Section 5, where material breach is committed by the Employee), the Employee shall receive severance pay for a period of one (1) year following termination of employment. Severance will be paid in accordance with normal and customary payroll practices of the Employer. The aggregate severance will be equal to the Employee's then current, annual base compensation. 7. Invention and Trade Secret Agreement. Employee agrees that the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement signed by the Employee and effective April 4, 2016, is in full force and effect, provided, however, that the non-compete clause of the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement shall be superseded by the non-compete provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement. 104 8. Specific Performance. It is acknowledged by both parties that damages will be an inadequate remedy to Employer in the event that Employee breaches or threatens to breach his commitments under Section 3 or under the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement. Therefore, it is agreed that Employer may institute and maintain an action or proceeding to compel the specific performance of the promises of Employee contained herein and therein. Such remedy shall, however, be cumulative, and not exclusive, to any other remedy, which Employer may have. 9. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement supersedes any employment understanding or agreement (except the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement) which may have been previously made by Employer or its respective subsidiaries or affiliates with Employee, and this Agreement, together with the Invention and Trade Secret Agreement, represents all the terms and conditions and the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to such employment. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written document signed by Employer and Employee. 10. Assignment. This Agreement is personal between Employer and Employee and may not be assigned; provided, however, that Employer shall have the absolute right at any time, or from time to time, to sell or otherwise dispose of its assets or any part thereof, to reconstitute the same into one or more subsidiary corporations or divisions or to merge, consolidate or enter into similar transactions. In the event of any such assignment, the term "Employer" as used herein shall mean and include such successor corporation. 11. Governing Law; Binding Nature of Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Hampshire, excluding its choice of law provisions. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and enure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 12. Survival. The obligations contained in Sections 3, 5 6, 7 and 13 herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement. In addition, the termination of this Agreement shall not affect any of the rights or obligations of either party arising prior to or at the time of the termination of this Agreement or which may arise by any event causing the termination of this Agreement. 13. Change of Control. (a) In the event of a change in control of Employer required to be reported under Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934: (i) Employer may terminate Employee's employment only upon conclusive evidence of substantial and indisputable intentional personal malfeasance in office such as a conviction for embezzlement of Employer's funds; and (ii) Employee may terminate his employment at any time if there is a change in his general area of responsibility, title or place of employment, or if his salary or benefits are lessened or diminished. (b) Following a change of control of Employer, any termination of Employee's employment either by Employee pursuant to Section 13(a)(ii) or by Employer under any circumstances other than involving conclusive evidence of substantial and indisputable intentional personal malfeasance in office, then: (i) Employee shall be promptly paid a lump sum payment equal to one times his current annual base salary plus one times the higher of the Employee's then current target bonus or most recent actual bonus amount under the Annual 105 Incentive Program as in effect on the date immediately prior to the changes in control; (ii) Employee shall become 100% vested in all benefit plans in which he participates including but not limited to the Management Savings Program portion of the Standex Annual Incentive Program and all restricted stock grants and performance share units granted under the Standex Long Term Incentive Program, or any successor plan of the Employer, and any other stock based plans of the Employer; and (iii) All life insurance and medical plan benefits covering the Employee and his dependents shall be continued at the expense of Employer for the one-year period following such termination as if the Employee were still an employee of the Employer. 14. Notices. Any notice to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile (with a copy mailed via first class mail, postage pre-paid) or delivery in person to the parties at the addresses set forth in the preamble to this Agreement or at such other address as either party may from time to time designate in writing. 15. Covenants Several. In the event that any covenant of this Agreement shall be determined invalid or unenforceable and the remaining provisions can be given effect, then such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 16. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the code and may be made by the Employer at any time and without the consent of the Employee). In the event that any payment of benefits hereunder may, in the determination of the Employer, be subject to section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, the payment of such benefits shall be delayed to the minimum extent necessary so that such benefits are not subject to the provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. The Employer may attach such conditions to or adjust the amounts paid hereunder to preserve, as closely as possible, the economic consequences that would otherwise have applied to the payment; provided however, that no such condition or adjustment shall result in the payments being subject to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. The Employer further reserves the right to make such amendments to this Agreement as are necessary to conform the Agreement to the requirements of Section 409A, and the Employee agrees to execute any such amendments. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Employer has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its authorized officers and Employee has executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Employee and Employer acknowledge that it may be necessary to amend the Agreement, within the time period permitted by the applicable Treasury Regulations, to make changes so as to cause payments and benefits under this Agreement not to be considered "deferred compensation" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, to cause the provisions of the Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or a combination thereof, so as to avoid the imposition of taxes and penalties on Employee pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Employee hereby agrees that the Company may, without any further consent from Employee, make any and all such changes to the Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of penalties on Employee pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, while not substantially reducing the aggregate value to Employee of the payments and benefits to, or otherwise adversely affecting the rights of, Employee under the Agreement. 112 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Employer has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its authorized officers and Employee has executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
