4. What was the company's gross profit ratio for the current year and last year? Did it change materially over the past year? Does management discuss gross profits? 5. Calculate the inventory turnover ratio. Eiscal 2021 Highlights Fiscal 2021 net sales decreased $167 million, or 8 percent, from the prior year, primarily due to lower sales in our CIS, HDE, and Automotive segments, partially offset by higher sales in our BHVAC segment. Foreign currency exchange rate changes favorably impacted sales in fiscal 2021 by $28 million. Cost of sales decreased $153 million, or 9 percent, from last year, primarily due to lower sales volume. Gross profit decreased $14 million and gross margin improved 60 basis points to 16.2 percent. SG&A expenses decreased $39 million, primarily due to lower costs associated with our review of strategic alternatives for our Automotive segment businesses and preparing the liquid- and air-cooled automotive businesses for sale. In addition, SG&A expenses decreased due to cost-reduction initiatives implemented early in the fiscal year in response to the negative impacts of COVID-19. The operating loss of 898 million during fiscal 2021 represents a $136 million decline from the prior-year operating income of $38 million and was primarily due to $167 million of impairment charges recorded primarily for assets of the liquid- and air-cooled automotive businesses, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses. Fiscal 2020 Highlights Fiscal 2020 net sales decreased $237 million, or 11 percent, from the prior year, primarily due to lower sales in our HDE, CIS, and Automotive segments, partially offset by higher sales in our BHVAC segment. Foreign currency exchange rate changes negatively impacted sales in fiscal 2020 by $46 million. Cost of sales decreased $179 million, or 10 percent, from the prior year, primarily due to lower sales volume. Gross profit decreased $58 million and gross margin declined 90 basis points to 15.6 percent. SG&A expenses increased $6 million, primarily due to higher costs associated with the review of strategic alternatives for our Automotive segment businesses, partially offset by lower-compensation related expenses. Operating income during fiscal 2020 decreased $72 million to $38 million, primarily due to lower gross profit and higher SG&A expenses. The following table presents our consolidated financial results on a comparative basis for fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019. Years ended March 31, 2021 2020 2019 (in millions) $'s % of sales $'s % of sales $'s % of sales Net sales 1,808 100.0% S 1,976 100.0% 2.213 100.0% Cost of sales 1,515 83.8% 1.668 84.4% 1.847 83.5 Gross profit 293 16.2% 308 15.6% 366 16.5% Selling, general and administrative expenses 211 11.7% 250 12.6% 244 11.0% Restructuring expenses 13 0.7% 12 0.6% 10 0.4% Impairment charges 167 9.2% 9 (Gain) loss on sale of assets (1) 0.1% Operating (loss) income (98) -5.4% 38 1.9% 110 5.0% Interest expense (19) -1.1% (23) -1.1% (25) -1.1% Other expense - net (2) -0.1% (5 -0.2% (4) -0.2% (Loss) earnings before income taxes (119) -6.6% 10 0.5% 81 3.776 (Provision) benefit for income taxes 190 -5.0% (12) -0.6% 0.2% Net (Loss) earnings (209) - 11.6% (2 -0.1% 86 3.9% Year Ended March 31, 2021 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2020 Fiscal 2021 net sales of $1,808 million were $167 million, or 8 percent, lower than the prior year, primarily due to lower sales volume in the CIS, HDE, and Automotive segments, partially offset by a $28 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and higher sales volume in the BHVAC segment. Sales in the CIS, HDE and Automotive segments decreased $92 million, $64 million and $47 million, respectively, and were significantly impacted by market-driven volume declines and temporary plant closures early in the fiscal year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales increased $20 million in our BHVAC segment. 24 0.4% . 11 Fiscal 2021 cost of sales of $1,515 million decreased $153 million, or 9 percent, primarily due to lower sales volume. Fiscal 2021 cost of sales was negatively impacted by $24 million from foreign currency exchange rate changes. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales decreased 60 basis points to 83.8 percent. The unfavorable impacts of lower sales volume and, to a lesser extent, higher material costs, which negatively impacted cost of sales as a percentage of sales by approximately 50 basis points were more than offset by benefits from procurement and other cost-reduction initiatives and an $8 million decrease in depreciation expense in the Automotive segment. We ceased depreciating the long-lived assets within the liquid- and air- cooled automotive businesses once they were classified as held for sale during fiscal 2021. In addition, program and equipment transfer costs to prepare the liquid-cooled automotive business for sale decreased approximately $3 million compared with the prior year. As a result of lower sales and lower cost of sales as a percentage of sales, fiscal 2021 gross profit decreased $14 million and gross margin improved 60 basis points to 16.2 percent. Fiscal 2021 SG&A expenses decreased $39 million. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to lower costs recorded at Corporate associated with our review of strategic alternatives for the Automotive segment businesses, which decreased approximately $30 million, and lower compensation-related expenses, which decreased approximately $13 million, largely resulting from cost-saving actions taken in response to COVID- 19. These favorable drivers were partially offset by approximately $7 million of CEO transition costs recorded at Corporate and a $3 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Restructuring expenses totaled $13 million during fiscal 2021 and increased $1 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to higher severance expenses. The fiscal 2021 restructuring expenses primarily consisted of severance expenses related to headcount reductions within the CIS, Automotive and HDE segments. During fiscal 2021, we recorded impairment charges totaling $167 million within the Automotive segment, an increase of $158 million compared with the prior year. The impairment charges during fiscal 2021 primarily related to writing down the long-lived assets in the liquid- and air-cooled automotive businesses in connection with their pending sales. The $9 million of impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2020 primarily related to two manufacturing facilities in the Automotive segment. The operating loss of $98 million during fiscal 2021 represents a $136 million decline from the prior-year operating income of $38 million. The decline was primarily due to higher impairment charges, which increased $158 million, and lower earnings in the CIS segment, which decreased $25 million. These negative drivers were partially offset by lower costs associated with our review of strategic alternatives for the Automotive segment businesses, which decreased $33 million, and higher earnings in our BHVAC segment, which increased $11 million. The provision for income taxes was $90 million and $12 million in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $78 million increase was primarily due to an increase in income tax charges related to valuation allowances, partially offset by income tax benefits totaling $38 million related to the impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2021. In fiscal 2021, we recorded income tax charges totaling $117 million to increase the valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in the U.S. and in certain foreign jurisdictions, compared with $7 million of income tax charges for valuation allowances in fiscal 2020. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Year Ended March 31, 2020 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2019 Fiscal 2020 net sales of $1,976 million were $237 million, or 11 percent, lower than the prior year, primarily due to lower sales in our HDE, CIS, and Automotive segments and a $46 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by higher sales in our BHVAC segment Sales decreased $126 million, $84 million, and $44 million in our HDE, CIS, and Automotive segments, respectively. Sales increased $9 million in our BHVAC segment. Fiscal 2020 cost of sales of $1,668 million decreased $179 million, or 10 percent, primarily due to lower sales volume and a $39 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased 90 basis points to 84.4 percent and was negatively impacted by approximately 80 basis points due to higher labor and inflationary costs and, to a lesser extent, by sales mix. These negative impacts were partially offset by favorable material costs, which impacted costs of sales by approximately 30 basis points. The favorable material costs primarily resulted from lower commodity pricing, which more than offset a negative impact from tariffs. In addition, we recorded $3 million of costs at Corporate for program and equipment transfers associated with the separation of the liquid-cooled automotive business in preparation for a potential sale. As a result of lower sales and higher cost of sales as a percentage of sales, fiscal 2020 gross profit decreased $58 million and gross margin declined 90 basis points to 15.6 percent
