2. Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results are not necessarily indicative of future results. 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.
3. Recent Accounting Standards
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). This ASU provides relief from certain accounting consequences that could result from the global markets’ anticipated transition away from the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The relief provided by this ASU is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The optional amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this standard on the Company.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which amends the accounting related to contract assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. Under current GAAP, an entity generally recognizes assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 requires that entities recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
4. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Nook Industries Acquisition
On December 31, 2021, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Nook Industries, LLC ("Nook"), a leader in the U.S. engineered linear motion industry. The acquisition expands the Company's current portfolio of linear product offerings. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and the results have been consolidated into the Company's Automation & Specialty ("A&S") segment.
The aggregate purchase price of approximately $138.5 million, inclusive of certain post-closing adjustments but subject to others, consisted of $125.2 million of cash transferred, net of $5.1 million of cash acquired, and a noncontingent purchase price

holdback of $8.2 million. The purchase price holdback was recorded in accruals and other current liabilities at December 31, 2021 and was released in January 2022. The Company borrowed $130.0 million under its Revolving Credit Facility in December 2021 to finance the transaction.
The fair value of all the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities summarized below are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information during the acquisition measurement period. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The Company did not record any measurement period adjustments during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date is as follows:

JVS Divestiture

ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted
In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company committed to a plan to sell our JVS business within our A&S reporting segment in an effort to exit the heavy-duty trucks and transportation industry. On February 8, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Cummins Inc. (the "Buyer") for $325.0 million in cash subject to customary adjustments, and on April 8, 2022, the Company completed the sale. Transaction costs related to the divestiture totaled approximately $9.4 million. The Company received net cash consideration of approximately $325.9 million, which remains subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The Company determined the criteria to be classified as held for sale were met and the assets and liabilities were presented as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell until the transaction is completed. The Company determined that the disposal group classified as held for sale does not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations as the disposal is not considered a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The JVS business is not a significant disposal based on the Company's quantitative and qualitative evaluation.
Before measuring the fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group as a whole, the Company first reviewed individual assets and liabilities to determine if any fair value adjustments were required and concluded no individual asset impairments were required. Then, based on the purchase and sale agreement entered into by the Company and the Buyer, the Company determined the fair value of the disposal group to be equal to the selling price, less costs to sell. Based on this review, during the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $60.0 million as the sale was considered to be a triggering event to evaluate goodwill impairment for the JVS reporting unit. Additionally, the Company recorded an asset held for sale impairment charge of $82.4 million, for a total impairment charge of $142.4 million in 2021. The Company recorded an additional asset held for sale impairment charge of $6.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
The assets and liabilities of the JVS business classified as held for sale at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:

5. Revenue Recognition
We sell our products through three primary commercial channels: original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), industrial distributors and direct to end users. Each of our segments sells similar products, which are balanced across end-user industries including, without limitation, energy, food processing, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation, industrial automation, robotics, medical devices, and turf & garden.

ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted
As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company has elected the practical expedient under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment from the Company’s manufacturing site or delivery to the customer’s named location. In determining whether control has transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer. In certain circumstances, the Company manufactures customized product without alternative use for its customers, which would generally result in the transfer of control over time. The Company has evaluated the amount of revenue subject to recognition over time and concluded that it is immaterial.
The following table disaggregates our revenue for each reportable segment. The Company believes that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The payment terms and conditions in our customer contracts vary. In some cases, customers will partially prepay for their goods; in other cases, after appropriate credit evaluations, payment will be due in arrears. In addition, there are constraints that cause variability in the ultimate consideration to be recognized. These constraints typically include early payment discounts, volume rebates, rights of return, surcharges, and other customer considerations.
Payments received from customers are recorded as accounts receivable when an unconditional right to the consideration exists. A contract asset is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good to the customer before consideration is due. A contract liability is recognized when consideration is received from a customer prior to the Company satisfying the related performance obligation. Contract assets and contract liabilities are recognized in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Company had inconsequential contract assets for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s current contract liabilities as of the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 are as follows:

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, substantially all outstanding revenue has been recognized related to contract liabilities outstanding at January 1, 2022.
6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents and are classified as Level 1. The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 1. Debt under the Credit Agreement (as defined herein) is classified as Level 2 and is comprised of the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (both as defined herein). As of March 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the Term Loan Facility was $397.5 million and the carrying amount of the Revolving Credit Facility was $600.0 million, each approximates fair value due to the fact that the interest rate on the debt is based on variable interest rates. The carrying amount of the Notes (as defined herein) was $400.0 million and the estimated fair value of the Notes was $410.0 million at March 31, 2022. The Notes are classified as Level 2.
The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available and classifies these investments as Level 1. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as derivative instruments), the Company uses standard models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows and the ability of the Company or the financial counterparty to perform. These investments are classified as Level 2. For cross-currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps, the significant inputs to these models are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and are adjusted for credit risk. See additional discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments including cross-currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps included in Note 16.
In December 2020, the Company invested $5.0 million for a minority equity interest in a privately held manufacturing software company, MTEK Industry AB (“MTEK”), over which the Company does not exert significant influence. The equity investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share. Therefore, in accordance with ASU 2016-01, the Company elected to measure the investment at its cost less impairment, if any, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. This investment is considered a Level 3 asset based on the lack of observable inputs and is classified within other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company monitors its equity investment in MTEK for indicators of impairments or upward adjustments on an ongoing basis. If the Company determines that such an indicator is present, an adjustment will be recorded, which will be measured as the difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2022, there were no indicators that support an adjustment to MTEK’s carrying value.

2021 Credit Agreement
On November 17, 2021, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed principal amount of $1.0 billion (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Company immediately provided notice to the administrative agent of the Credit Agreement to draw down $480.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. The aggregate proceeds of $880.0 million under the Credit Facilities were used to repay in full and extinguish all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money under the 2018 Credit Agreement. The remaining availability under the Revolving Credit Facility will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Credit Facilities are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors” the Guarantors collectively with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”).
The stated maturity date of the Credit Facilities is November 17, 2026, and there are scheduled quarterly principal payments due on the outstanding amount on the Term Loan Facility. The amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility may be drawn upon in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities are due on the stated maturity or such earlier time, if any, required under the Credit Agreement. The amounts owed under either of the Credit Facilities may be prepaid at any time, subject to usual notification and breakage payment provisions. Interest on the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities is calculated using either a Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for
14
ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted
Eurocurrency Loans are between 1.000% to 1.750%, and for Base Rate Loans are between 0.000% and 0.750%. The amounts of the margins are calculated based on the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies. The interest rate on the Credit Facilities was 1.709% at March 31, 2022.
Revolving borrowings and issuances of letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of defaults.
The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary representations and warranties, usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which among other things, will require the Borrowers to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders, require the Company to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated leverage and interest coverage, and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock or debt, make certain investments, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The obligations of the borrowers of the Credit Facilities under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, cross default and cross acceleration, voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, inability to pay debts as they become due, material judgments, ERISA events, actual or asserted invalidity of security documents or guarantees and change in control.
The Company incurred $3.7 million in issuance costs, which is being amortized over the term of the debt as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the outstanding borrowings.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $997.5 million outstanding on the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $4.3 million and $4.8 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. The Company had $395.7 million available to borrow under the Credit Facilities at March 31, 2022, subject to customary conditions including the accuracy of representation and warranties and the absence of defaults.
Notes
On October 1, 2018, upon the closing of the combination of the Company with four operating companies from Fortive Corporation’s (“Fortive”) Automation & Specialty platform (excluding Fortive’s Hengstler and Dynapar businesses), the Company assumed $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes will mature on October 1, 2026. Interest on the Notes accrues from October 1, 2018 and is payable semi-annually commencing on April 1, 2019. The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the issuer on or after October 1, 2023. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries.
2018 Credit Agreement
On October 1, 2018, the Company and certain subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, and a syndicate of lenders, which provided for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $1,340.0 million (the “2018 Term Loan Facility”) and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed principal amount of $300.0 million (the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the 2018 Term Loan Facility, the “2018 Credit Facilities”).
On November 17, 2021, in connection with the new Credit Agreement, the 2018 Credit Agreement was terminated and all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money thereunder was repaid in full.
Mortgages and Other Agreements
The Company’s subsidiaries in Europe have entered into certain long-term fixed rate term loans that are generally secured by local property, plant and equipment. The debt has interest rates that range from 1.0% to 2.5%, with various quarterly and monthly installments through 2028.

13. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
Effective October 1, 2018, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 90.0 million shares to 120.0 million shares. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 65,059,097 and 64,923,539 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.
Preferred Stock
On December 20, 2006, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation authorizing 10.0 million shares of undesignated Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series, the shares of each class or series to have such designations and powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. There was no Preferred Stock issued or outstanding at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Restricted Common Stock
The 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The 2014 Plan provides for various forms of stock-based compensation to our directors, executive personnel and other key employees and consultants. Under the 2014 Plan, the remaining total number of shares of common stock available for delivery pursuant to the grant of awards was 3.7 million as of March 31, 2022.
The restricted stock and restricted stock units issued pursuant to the 2014 Plan generally vest ratably over a period ranging from immediately to five years from the date of grant, provided, that the vesting of the restricted stock or restricted stock units may accelerate upon the occurrence of certain events. Common stock awarded under the 2014 Plan is generally subject to restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights, and other limitations and rights as set forth in the applicable award agreements.
The 2014 Plan permits the Company to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options and performance share awards to key employees. Certain awards include vesting based upon achievement of specified performance criteria. Compensation expense recorded (in selling, general and administrative expense) during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $3.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for the shares vesting ratably under the plan and uses the graded-vesting method of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for the performance share awards based on the probability of the specific performance metrics being achieved over the requisite service period. Total remaining unrecognized compensation cost is approximately $30.9 million as of March 31, 2022, and will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of three years.

16. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company may manage changes in market conditions related to interest on debt obligations and foreign currency exposures by entering into derivative instruments, including interest rate and foreign currency swap agreements. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each period. The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps), the Company uses standard models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows and the ability of Altra or the financial counterparty to perform. For cross-currency interest rate swaps, the significant inputs are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows, and exchange rate curves of the foreign currency for translating future cash flows. For interest rate swaps, the significant inputs to these models are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows that are adjusted for credit risk. Both cross-currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps are Level 2 investments. Refer to Note 6 for a description of the fair value levels. For designated hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship consistent with the requirements of ASC 815, Derivatives.
Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps
In December 2018, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its net investment in Euro-denominated assets against future volatility in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. By doing so, the Company synthetically converted a portion of its U.S. dollar-based long-term debt into Euro-denominated long-term debt. At inception, the cross-currency swaps were designated as net investment hedges.
For net investment hedges, changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the derivatives’ gains or losses are reported as foreign currency translation gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCIL”). The gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in AOCIL are reclassified to earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying item, such as a disposal or substantial liquidations of the entities being hedged. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company terminated the cross-currency interest rate swaps. The Company received the cash value of the cross-currency interest rate swaps of approximately $56.2 million upon termination. In addition, the Company paid the interest owed and received the interest due, resulting in the recognition of approximately $3.3 million in net interest income, and paid termination fees of approximately $0.9 million. At March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company had a gain in AOCIL of approximately $44.8 million, net of $11.4 million of tax. That balance will remain in AOCIL until the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying item, such as a disposal or substantial liquidations of the entities being hedged.
Interest Rate Swaps
In January 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the variable interest rate payable on a portion of its outstanding borrowings. This interest rate swap matured on January 31, 2020. Additionally, in December 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement designed to manage the cash flow risk caused by interest rate changes on the forecasted interest payments expected to occur related to a portion of its outstanding borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement.

ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted
The interest rate swap agreement was designed to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness and was recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company designated this interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge and changes in the fair value of the swap were recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items were recognized in earnings.
During 2020, the Company terminated the interest rate swap agreement. The Company paid the cash value of the interest rate swaps of approximately $34.7 million upon termination. In addition, the Company paid the interest owed and received the interest due, resulting in the recognition of approximately $0.1 million in net interest expense, and paid termination fees of approximately $0.1 million. In November 2021, the Company terminated the 2018 Credit Agreement. As a result of the decision to terminate the 2018 Credit Agreement, the remaining balance of the unrealized loss in AOCIL was immediately reclassified to “Interest expense, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company reclassified $2.4 million, net of $0.7 million of tax benefit, of non-cash interest expense from AOCIL to earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
17. Commitments and Contingencies
General Litigation
The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. These proceedings primarily involve commercial claims, product liability claims, personal injury claims, and workers’ compensation claims. With respect to these proceedings, management believes that the Company will prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate reserves to cover potential liabilities. Any costs that management estimates may be paid related to these proceedings or claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adversely to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates. We will continue to consider the applicable guidance in ASC 450-20, based on the facts known at the time of our future filings, as it relates to legal contingencies, and will adjust our disclosures as may be required under the guidance.
There were no material amounts accrued in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for potential litigation as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
The Company also risks exposure to product liability claims in connection with products it has sold and those sold by businesses that the Company acquired. Although in some cases third parties have retained responsibility for product liability claims relating to products manufactured or sold prior to the acquisition of the relevant business and in other cases the persons from whom the Company has acquired a business may be required to indemnify the Company for certain product liability claims subject to certain caps or limitations on indemnification, the Company cannot assure that those third parties will in fact satisfy their obligations with respect to liabilities retained by them or their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to or otherwise do not comply with their respective obligations including indemnity obligations, or if certain product liability claims for which the Company is obligated were not retained by third parties or are not subject to these indemnities, the Company could become subject to significant liabilities or other adverse consequences. Moreover, even in cases where third parties retain responsibility for product liability claims or are required to indemnify the Company, significant claims arising from products that have been acquired could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to realize the benefits from an acquisition, could result in the reduction of the value of goodwill that the Company recorded in connection with an acquisition, or could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or operations.

Environmental
There is contamination at some of the Company’s current facilities, primarily related to historical operations at those sites, for which the Company could be liable for the investigation and remediation under certain environmental laws. The potential for contamination also exists at other of the Company’s current or former sites, based on historical uses of those sites. The Company currently is not undertaking any material remediation or investigations and the costs or liability in connection with potential contamination conditions at these facilities cannot be predicted at this time because the potential existence of contamination has not been investigated or not enough is known about the environmental conditions or likely remedial requirements. Currently, other parties with contractual liability are addressing or have plans or obligations to address those contamination conditions that may pose a material risk to human health, safety or the environment. In addition, while the Company attempts to evaluate the risk of liability associated with these facilities at the time the Company acquired them, there may be environmental conditions currently unknown to the Company relating to prior, existing or future sites or operations or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities the Company may have assumed or acquired which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
The Company is being indemnified, or expects to be indemnified, by third parties subject to certain caps or limitations on the indemnification, for certain environmental costs and liabilities associated with certain owned or operated sites. Accordingly, based on the indemnification and the experience with similar sites of the environmental consultants who the Company has hired, the Company does not expect such costs and liabilities to have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or earnings. The Company cannot assure you, however, that those third parties will in fact satisfy their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to, or otherwise do not, comply with their respective indemnity obligations, or if certain contamination or other liability for which the Company is obligated is not subject to these indemnities, the Company could become subject to significant liabilities.
From time to time, the Company is notified that it is a potentially responsible party and may have liability in connection with off-site disposal facilities. To date, the Company has generally resolved matters involving off-site disposal facilities for a nominal sum but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to resolve pending or future matters in a similar fashion.
18. Subsequent Events
On April 8, 2022, the Company completed the previously announced sale of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the entities which collectively constitute its JVS business segment to Cummins Inc., an Indiana corporation, for $325.0 million in cash subject to customary adjustments. The net cash consideration received was approximately $325.9 million.
On April 26, 2022, the Company declared a dividend of $0.09 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, payable on July 6, 2022 to stockholders of record as of June 17, 2022.
On April 26, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the buyback of up to $300 million of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2024.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Altra,” “Altra Industrial Motion Corp.,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Altra Industrial Motion Corp. and its subsidiaries.
General
We are a leading global designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of electromechanical power transmission motion control (“PTMC”) products. Our technologies are used in various motion related applications and across a wide variety of high-volume manufacturing and non-manufacturing processes in which reliability and precision are critical to avoid costly down time and enhance the overall efficiency of operations.
We market our products under well recognized and established brands, which have been in existence for an average of over 85 years. We serve a diversified group of customers comprised of over 1,000 direct original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) including GE, Honeywell and Siemens, and also benefit from established, long-term relationships with leading industrial distributors, including Applied Industrial Technologies, Grainger, Kaman Industrial Technologies and Motion Industries. Many of our customers operate globally across a large number of industries, ranging from transportation, turf and agriculture, energy and mining to factory automation, medical and robotics. Our relationships with these customers often span multiple decades, which we believe reflects the high level of performance, quality and service we deliver, supplemented by the breadth of our offering, vast geographic footprint and our ability to rapidly develop custom solutions for complex customer requirements.
On December 31, 2021, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Nook Industries, LLC ("Nook"), a leader in the U.S. engineered linear motion industry. The acquisition expands the Company's current portfolio of linear product offerings. The acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and the results have been consolidated into the Company's Automation & Specialty segment. The aggregate purchase price of approximately $138.5 million, inclusive of certain post-closing adjustments but subject to others, consisted of $125.2 million of cash transferred, net of $5.1 million of cash acquired, and a noncontingent purchase price holdback of $8.2 million. The purchase price holdback was released in January 2022. The Company borrowed $130.0 million under its Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) in December 2021 to finance the transaction.
On April 8, 2022, the Company completed the previously announced sale of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the entities which collectively constitute its Jacobs Vehicle Systems (“JVS”) business segment to Cummins Inc., an Indiana corporation, for $325.0 million in cash subject to customary adjustments. The net cash consideration received was approximately $325.9 million, which remains subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

Business Outlook
Our future financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on conditions in the U.S., European, and global economies in general. In the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we experienced strong sales as our team executed very well in spite of continued challenges including supply chain constraints, labor shortages, inflation pressures, and the continued impact of COVID-19. Our pricing initiatives helped improve earnings and our backlog levels remain strong. In April 2022, we also completed the sale of our Jacobs Vehicle Systems business and used the proceeds to pay down approximately $315 million in debt and strengthen our balance sheet.
We will remain focused on leveraging the Altra Business System to drive organic growth initiatives, to manage our portfolio through disciplined mergers and acquisitions, to integrate the Nook business, and to execute on our strategy to position Altra as a premier industrial company.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on past experiences and other assumptions we believe to be appropriate, and we evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. See the discussion of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no changes in the identification or application of the Company’s critical accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses The decrease in SG&A during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was primarily driven by the decrease in amortization expense as a result of the JVS disposal group being classified as held for sale. Refer to Note 4 for further information on the held for sale classification. This decrease was partially offset due to the inclusion of the SG&A expenses from Nook of $2.8 million as well as changes in foreign exchange, which had an unfavorable impact on SG&A of $2.1 million.

Restructuring costs During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we commenced a restructuring plan (“2017 Altra Plan”) as a result of Altra’s acquisition of Stromag and to rationalize our global renewable energy business. The actions taken pursuant to the 2017 Altra Plan included reducing headcount, facility consolidations and the elimination of certain costs. The total 2017 Altra Plan savings are in line with our expectations. We do not expect to incur any additional material costs as a result of the 2017 Altra Plan.
During 2019, we commenced a restructuring plan (“2019 Altra Plan”) to drive efficiencies, reduce the number of facilities and optimize our operating margin. We expect to incur an additional $1 - $2 million in restructuring expenses under the 2019 Altra Plan over the next two years, primarily related to headcount reductions and plant consolidations. We achieved savings of $0.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 under the 2019 Altra Plan and estimate additional future savings to be approximately $1 - $2 million over the next two years. The cost savings for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were recognized as reductions in SG&A and Cost of Sales of approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Interest expense, net The decrease in interest expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the lower average interest rates as a result of our November 2021 refinancing. In addition, interest expense decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 because we recorded $3.1 million of non-cash interest expense related to the termination of the interest rate swap during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Since the remaining balance of the unrealized loss from the termination of the interest rate swap was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2021 in connection with the refinancing, no non-cash interest expense related to the termination of the interest rate swap was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. We expect our interest expense in 2022 to continue to decrease as additional principal payments on our debt are made.

Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income tax as a percent of income before income taxes decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 . The decrease in the 2022 provision for income tax as a percent of income before income taxes is mainly due to a net benefit of $2.5 million mainly related to the JVS divestiture recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by a higher annual effective tax rate in 2022 compared to 2021.

Power Transmission Technologies
Net sales in the Power Transmission Technologies segment were $253.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase of approximately $32.7 million or 14.8% from the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the broad based strength across most of our end markets, especially material handling, metals and mining, turf and garden and agriculture end markets. In addition, price had a favorable impact on net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of $11.5 million. The increase in net sales was partially offset by changes in foreign exchange for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $5.2 million. Income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $32.3 million, an increase of 16.2%, which was primarily driven by the increase in sales and partially offset by increasing costs from logistics, supply chain and labor.
29
Automation & Specialty
Net sales in the Automation & Specialty segment were $259.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase of approximately $7.1 million, or 2.8% from the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the inclusion of sales from the newly acquired Nook business, which were approximately $11.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. In addition, the increase was due to continued strength in the factory automation end market, as well as price, which had a favorable impact on net sales of $6.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net sales was partially offset by a decline in the China class 8 heavy duty truck market as well as changes in foreign exchange, which had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $35.6 million, a decrease of 14.0%, which was primarily driven by the asset held for sale impairment charge of $6.1 million recorded at the JVS reporting unit related to the held for sale classification.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We finance our capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein). At March 31, 2022, we had the ability under the Revolving Credit Facility to borrow an additional $395.7 million subject to satisfying customary conditions. We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures, acquisitions, pensions, other post-employment benefits and dividends.
We believe, based on current and projected levels of cash flows from operating activities, together with our ability to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility, that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our short-term and long-term needs to make required payments of interest on our debt, to make amortization payments under the Altra Credit Facilities, to fund our operating needs, to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements and to comply with the financial ratios in our debt agreements.
In the event additional funds are needed for operations, we could attempt to obtain new debt and/or refinance existing debt, or attempt to raise capital in the equity markets. There can be no assurance, however, that additional debt or equity financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
Notes
On September 26, 2018, Stevens Holding Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Stevens Holding”), announced the pricing of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of Stevens Holding’s 6.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) in a private debt offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Private Placement”). On October 1, 2018, the Private Placement closed, and Stevens Holding sold $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Primary Notes”) and an unaffiliated selling securityholder sold $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Selling Securityholder Notes”). The Notes will mature on October 1, 2026. Interest on the Notes accrues from October 1, 2018, and the first interest payment date on the Notes was April 1, 2019. The Notes may be redeemed at the option of Stevens Holding on or after October 1, 2023, in the manner and at the redemption prices specified in the indenture governing the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Altra and certain of its domestic subsidiaries.
The unaffiliated selling securityholder received the Selling Securityholder Notes from Fortive prior to the closing of the Private Placement in exchange for certain outstanding Fortive debt held or acquired by the unaffiliated selling securityholder. Stevens Holding used the net proceeds of the Primary Notes to fund a dividend payment to Fortive prior to the consummation of the merger that was part of the Fortive Transaction, pursuant to which such merger Stevens Holdings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Stevens Holding did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Selling Securityholder Notes.
2021 Altra Credit Agreement
On November 17, 2021, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement” or the "Altra Credit Agreement") with certain subsidiaries of the Company (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) , the lenders party to the Credit Agreement from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”), Bank of Montreal as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), as sustainability structuring agent and collateral agent thereunder, and under the security and guarantee documents for the Lenders, and BMO Capital Markets Corp., Citizens Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders made available to the Borrowers a term loan facility of $400.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility” or "Term Loan" or “Term Loan A”) and a revolving credit facility of $1,000.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” or "Revolver", and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The aggregate proceeds of the Credit Facilities were used to repay in full and extinguish all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money under the 2018 Credit Agreement. The amounts available under the Credit Facilities are to be available for general corporate purposes and to
30
repay existing indebtedness. The stated maturity of both of the Credit Facilities is November 17, 2026, and there are scheduled quarterly principal payments due on the outstanding amount of the Term Loan Facility.
The Credit Facilities are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors” the Guarantors collectively with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”).
The amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility may be drawn upon in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities are due on the stated maturity or such earlier time, if any, required under the Credit Agreement. The amounts owed under either of the Credit Facilities may be prepaid at any time, subject to usual notification and breakage payment provisions. Interest on the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities is calculated using either a Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for Eurocurrency Loans are between 1.000% to 1.750%, and for Base Rate Loans are between 0.000% and 0.750%. The amounts of the margins are calculated based on the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies. The interest rate on the Credit Facilities was 1.709% at March 31, 2022.
Revolving borrowings and issuances of letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of defaults.
The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary representations and warranties, usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which among other things, will require the Borrowers to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders, require the Borrowers to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated leverage and interest coverage, and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock or debt, make certain investments, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The obligations of the borrowers of the Credit Facilities under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, cross default and cross acceleration, voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, inability to pay debts as they become due, material judgments, ERISA events, actual or asserted invalidity of security documents or guarantees and change in control.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, on November 17, 2021, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), pursuant to which each Loan Party pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all personal property, whether now owned by or owing to, or after acquired by or arising in favor of such Loan Party (including under any trade name or derivations), and whether owned or consigned by or to, or leased from or to, such Loan Party, and regardless of where located, except for specific excluded personal property identified in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include, among other items, more than 65% of the capital stock of the first tier foreign subsidiaries of the Company. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement contains other customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties.
In connection with the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, certain of the Loan Parties delivered a Patent Security Agreement and a Trademark Security Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to which each of the Loan Parties signatory thereto pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all registered patents, patent applications, registered trademarks and trademark applications owned by such Loan Parties.
2018 Altra Credit Agreement
On October 1, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of Altra, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The 2018 Credit Agreement provided for a seven-year senior secured term loan to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $1,340.0 million (the “2018 Term Loan Facility”) and a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility available to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries in an aggregate committed principal amount of $300.0 million (the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the 2018 Term Loan Facility, the “2018 Credit Facilities”). The initial proceeds of the 2018 Term Loan Facility were used to (i) consummate the Direct Sales, (ii) repay in full and extinguish all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money under the Company’s previous credit agreement and (iii) pay certain fees, costs, and expenses in connection with the consummation of the Fortive Transaction. Any proceeds of the 2018 Term Loan Facility not so used could be used for general corporate purposes and the proceeds of the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On November 17, 2021, in connection with the new Credit Agreement, the 2018 Credit Agreement was terminated and all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money thereunder was repaid in full.

Cash Flows for 2022
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $24.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $61.1 million of net cash used as compared to the prior year. The increase in net cash used was primarily due to unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $56.6 million, which reflect timing difference between the receipt and payment of cash associated with transactions and when they are recognized in our results of operations.
Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 increased approximately $8.2 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to increased property, plant and equipment purchases.
Net cash used in financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $10.0 million, primarily due decreased debt paydowns of approximately $12.5 million when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
We intend to use our remaining cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations to provide for our working capital needs, to service our debt, including principal payments, for capital expenditures, for pension funding, for other post-retirement benefits funding and to pay dividends to our stockholders. As of March 31, 2022 we have approximately $165.8 million of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries. We believe, based on current and projected levels of cash flows from operating activities, together with our ability to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility, that we have sufficient liquidity to make required payments of interest on our debt, to make amortization payments under the Credit Facilities, to fund our operating needs, to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements and to comply with the financial ratios in our debt agreements.
Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes in our contractual obligations during the period ended March 31, 2022.
32
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risk factors such as fluctuating interest rates, changes in foreign currency rates, and changes in commodity prices. During the reporting period, there have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding our market risk set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2022, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
33
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are, from time to time, party to various legal proceedings arising out of our business. During the reporting period, there have been no material changes to the description of legal proceedings set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The reader should carefully consider the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those risk factors described elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 are not the only risks we face, but are considered to be the most material. These risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those stated in forward looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and elsewhere. All risk factors stated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 are incorporated herein by reference.
Below are additional risk factors that should be carefully considered by the reader in addition to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The ongoing military action between Russia and Ukraine could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
On February 24, 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely. This conflict could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences as well as increase in cyberattacks and espionage.
Russia’s recognition of two separatist republics in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine and subsequent military action against Ukraine have led to an unprecedented expansion of sanction programs imposed by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, Japan and other countries against Russia, Belarus, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic, including, among others:
blocking sanctions against some of the largest state-owned and private Russian financial institutions (and their subsequent removal from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) payment system) and certain Russian businesses, some of which have significant financial and trade ties to the European Union;
blocking sanctions against Russian and Belarusian individuals, including the Russian President, other politicians and those with government connections or involved in Russian military activities; and
blocking of Russia’s foreign currency reserves as well as expansion of sectoral sanctions and export and trade restrictions, limitations on investments and access to capital markets and bans on various Russian imports.
The situation is rapidly evolving as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, and the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries may implement additional sanctions, export controls or other measures against Russia, Belarus and other countries, regions, officials, individuals or industries in the respective territories. Such sanctions and other measures, as well as the existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries to such sanctions, tensions and military actions, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are actively monitoring the situation in Ukraine and assessing its impact on our business, including our business partners and customers. We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of the conflict in Ukraine or its impacts in Ukraine, Russia or Belarus as the conflict, and any resulting government reactions, are rapidly developing and beyond our control. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have substantial impact on the global economy and our business for an unknown period of time. Any of the above mentioned factors could affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
New or more stringent government regulations or standards designed to address climate change could increase our operational costs, and severe weather associated with a changing climate could negatively impact our operations and those of our customers and suppliers.
34
We are subject to domestic and foreign regulations and standards governing emissions controls which are, in part, designed to address climate change. Due to increasing global concern over the effects of climate change, new or more stringent regulations and standards may be mandated. In addition, various stakeholders may demand additional controls beyond what is required by such regulations or standards. Such additional regulations, standards and demands may expose us to increased operational costs associated with compliance, data collection and disclosure, and raw material sourcing, our manufacturing operations, and the distribution of our products may be adversely affected. Further, tighter emissions controls as a result of these actions could increase our operational costs and could lead to disruptions in our operations as compliance is attained. Severe weather associated with a changing climate could also negatively impact our facilities, information systems and infrastructure, as well as those of our customers and suppliers. This could disrupt supply, customer demand and negatively affect our ability to fulfill orders, manufacture products and maintain operations. In addition, certain markets and industries which Altra serves may be negatively impacted by global trends and market adjustment in response to a changing climate which could have an adverse impact on our financial performance. There can be no assurance that our efforts to address these regulations, standards, or stakeholder demands will be successful or that any future investments we make in furtherance of achieving climate change targets and goals will meet investor expectations or any regulatory or legal standards regarding sustainability performance. If we fail to sufficiently address applicable regulations, standards and stakeholder demands or fail to achieve or improperly report on our progress toward achieving our goals and commitments to reduce our carbon footprint or address sustainability programs and initiatives, the results could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
