1. General

Colfax Corporation (the “Company” or “Colfax”) is a leading diversified technology company that provides air and gas handling, fabrication technology, and medical device products and services to customers around the world under the Howden, ESAB, and DJO brands.

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive equity and asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Granite Holdings US Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation, and Brillant 3047, GmbH, a company organized under the laws of Germany (collectively, the “Purchaser”), which are affiliates of KPS Capital Partners, LP (“KPS”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase certain subsidiaries and assets comprising Colfax’s Air and Gas Handling business. On September 30, 2019, Colfax completed the sale of its Air and Gas Handling business to the Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $1.8 billion, including $1.67 billion of cash paid at closing, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the assumption of certain liabilities and minority interests. Accordingly, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented reflect the Air and Gas Handling business as a discontinued operation. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations”, for further information.

On February 22, 2019, Colfax completed the purchase of DJO Global, Inc. (“DJO”) pursuant to the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated November 19, 2018. Colfax paid an aggregate purchase price of $3.15 billion, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). DJO is a global leader in orthopedic solutions, providing orthopedic devices, reconstructive implants, software and services spanning the full continuum of patient care, from injury prevention to rehabilitation.

On December 11, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its Fluid Handling business (“Fluid Handling”). Accordingly, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented reflect the Fluid Handling business and the remaining asbestos and environmental activity as a discontinued operation. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations”, for further information.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations for interim financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 21, 2019.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. Intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions in preparing its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the full year. Quarterly results are affected by seasonal variations in the Company’s businesses, and European operations typically experience a slowdown during the July, August and December holiday seasons. General economic conditions may, however, impact future seasonal variations.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Implemented in 2019



Standards Adopted	Description	Effective Date
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)	The standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities associated with the rights and obligations attributable to most leases but also recognize expenses similar to current lease accounting. The standard also requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, along with additional key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods that approximates the results of a full retrospective approach without restating prior periods. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the standard, which among other things, allowed historical lease classification to be carried forward. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient to consolidate less significant non-lease components into the lease component for all asset classes. The Company made an accounting policy election, as permitted by Topic 842 to only record a right-of-use asset and related liability for leases with an initial term in excess of 12 months. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has recognized a right-of-use asset of $160 million, with corresponding related lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For more information, refer to Note 10, “Leases”.	January 1, 2019
ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income	The standard provides entities the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) related to items stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance was applied retrospectively as of January 1, 2019. As a result of this accounting guidance, $15.4 million of tax benefit formerly booked to Other Comprehensive Income was reclassified to retained earnings.	January 1, 2019

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	The ASU eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold under current GAAP and broadens the information an entity must consider when developing its expected credit loss estimates to include forward-looking information. The standard applies to most financial assets held at amortized costs, as well as certain other instruments. Under the current expected credit loss (CECL) model, entities must estimate losses over the entire contractual term of the asset from the date of initial recognition. In determining expected losses, consideration must be given to historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward looking information.	The Company notes that certain financial assets, which are not reserved for currently, are now in the scope of this ASU. The Company has selected a compliant methodology and is in the process of performing a quantitative assessment of the materiality of the adoption of this ASU.

3. Discontinued Operations

Sale of Air and Gas Handling Business

As discussed previously in Note 1, “General,” the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement to sell its Air and Gas Handling business to the Purchaser, and the sale subsequently closed in the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter on September 30, 2019.

The accounting requirements for reporting a business to be divested as a discontinued operation were met as of the end of the second quarter of 2019. Accordingly, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented reflect the Air and Gas Handling business as a discontinued operation. The Air and Gas Handling business had revenues of $998.8 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and $1,473.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The total consideration for the sale was $1.8 billion, including $1.67 billion in cash paid at closing, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the purchase agreement, and the assumption of certain liabilities and minority interests.

Based on the purchase price and the carrying value of the net assets being sold, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $481 million in the second quarter of 2019, which is included in Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairment loss included a $449 million goodwill impairment charge and a $32 million valuation allowance charge on assets held for sale relating to the initial estimated cost to sell the business. An accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $350 million associated with the Air and Gas Handling business was included in the determination of the goodwill impairment charge, which is mostly attributable to the recognition of cumulative foreign currency translation effects from the long-term strengthening of the U.S. Dollar.

The Company reduced the valuation allowance by $8.5 million for amounts paid during the third quarter of 2019. As of September 27, 2019, the remaining valuation allowance for the estimated cost to sell the disposal group was $23.5 million. The Company also performed an impairment assessment of the assets held for sale as of September 27, 2019 and concluded there was no further impairment.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and KPS entered into various agreements to provide a framework for their relationship after the disposition, including a transition services agreement. The amounts to be billed for future transition services under the above agreements is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations.

4. Acquisition

On February 22, 2019, Colfax completed the purchase of DJO Global, Inc. (“DJO”) pursuant to the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated November 19, 2018. Colfax paid an aggregate net purchase price of $3.15 billion, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). See Note 8, “Equity” and Note 11, “Debt” for a discussion of the respective financing components of the DJO acquisition.

DJO is a global leader in orthopedic solutions, providing orthopedic devices, reconstructive implants, software and services spanning the full continuum of patient care, from injury prevention to rehabilitation. DJO has approximately 5,000 employees across 18 locations around the world. The acquisition is expected to evolve the Company to higher margins, faster growth, and lower cyclicality, while providing opportunities for significant bolt-on and adjacent acquisitions over time. The value included as Goodwill for this acquisition is reflective of these expected benefits in conjunction with anticipated synergies as the Company uses Colfax Business System (“CBS”) to drive further operating improvement, margin expansion, and long-term growth. CBS is the Company’s business management system, combining a comprehensive set of tools and repeatable, teachable processes, that the Company uses to create superior value for its customers, shareholders and associates.

During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, the Company incurred $0.7 million and $56.7 million, respectively, of advisory, legal, audit, valuation and other professional service fees in connection with the DJO acquisition, which are included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 27, 2019, there was $0.8 million related to these expenses included in Accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The DJO acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position and results of operations from the date of acquisition. The following unaudited proforma financial information presents Colfax’s consolidated financial information assuming the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2018. These amounts are presented in accordance with GAAP, consistent with the Company’s accounting policies.

5. Revenue

The Company’s Fabrication Technology segment formulates, develops, manufactures and supplies consumable products and equipment. Substantially all revenue from the Fabrication Technology business is recognized at a point in time. The Company disaggregates its Fabrication Technology revenue into the following product groups:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2019		September 28, 2018		September 27, 2019		September 28, 2018

Total	$	539,228	$	524,022	$	1,692,347	$	1,618,152

Contracts with customers in the consumables product grouping generally have a shorter fulfillment period than equipment contracts.

The Company’s Medical Technology segment provides products and services spanning the full continuum of patient care, from injury prevention to rehabilitation. The Company’s Medical Technology sales are primarily derived from three sales channels including dealers and distributors, insurance, and direct to consumers and hospitals. Substantially all its revenue from the Medical Technology business is recognized at a point in time. The Company disaggregates its Medical Technology revenue into the following product groups:



	Three Months Ended September 27, 2019		Nine Months Ended September 27, 2019
	(In thousands)
Prevention & Rehabilitation	$	221,314	$	533,986
Reconstructive	85,977		212,752
Total	$	307,291	$	746,738

Given the nature of the Fabrication Technology and Medical Technology businesses, the total amount of unsatisfied performance obligations with an original contract duration of greater than one year as of September 27, 2019 is immaterial.

The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to certain types of variable consideration, including rebates, implicit price concessions, and other discounts. The Company includes estimated amounts of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable there will not be a significant reversal of revenue.

In some circumstances for both over-time and point-in-time contracts, customers are billed in advance of revenue recognition, resulting in contract liabilities. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, total contract liabilities were $13.0 million and $17.3 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year was $4.8 million and $13.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018, revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year was $0.9 million and $17.3 million, respectively. As of September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, total contract liabilities were $15.6 million and $19.5 million, respectively.

(1) Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Colfax Corporation for the respective periods is calculated using Net income (loss) from continuing operations less the continuing operations component of the income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net of taxes of $0.9 million and $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 and $0.4 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, the weighted-average shares of Common stock outstanding - basic includes the impact of 18.4 million shares related to the issuance of Colfax’s tangible equity units. See Note 8, “Equity” for details.

The weighted-average computation of the dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares of Common stock under the treasury stock method for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 excludes 4.4 million and 4.6 million, respectively, of outstanding stock-based compensation awards as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The weighted-average computation of the dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares of Common stock under the treasury stock method for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018 excludes 3.5 million of outstanding stock-based compensation awards as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

7. Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes was $2.4 million and $(8.7) million, respectively, while the income tax (benefit) provision was $(1.4) million and $6.8 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were (56.0)% and (78.5)% for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2019 differed from the 2019 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% mainly due to a discrete tax benefit associated with the enactment of tax law changes in a European jurisdiction offset in part by losses in certain jurisdictions where a tax benefit is not expected to be recognized in 2019, and non-deductible deal costs. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 differed from the 2019 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% mainly due to losses in certain jurisdictions where a tax benefit is not expected to be recognized in 2019, $16.7 million of non-deductible deal costs, and an aggregate $9.2 million unfavorable discrete U.S. income tax expense due to a change in valuation allowance and state tax expense as a result of the DJO acquisition, offset in part by a discrete tax benefit associated with the enactment of tax law changes in a European jurisdiction.

During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018, Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $23.4 million and $81.2 million, respectively, while the income tax provision (benefit) was $6.8 million and $(4.1) million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 28.9% and (5.0)% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2018 differs from the 2018 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% mainly due to losses in certain tax jurisdictions where a tax benefit is not expected to be realized in 2018, the net impact of foreign earnings taxed at a higher rate offset in part by the expected realization of U.S. tax credits. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 differs from the 2018 U.S. statutory rate of 21% mainly due to the effective settlement of uncertain tax positions, an enacted tax rate change in a foreign jurisdiction, valuation allowance reversals and the expected realization of certain U.S. tax credits, offset in part by losses in certain jurisdictions where a tax benefit is not expected to be recognized in 2018. The Provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018 includes $4.4 million and $29.8 million of net discrete tax benefits, respectively.

Tangible equity unit (“TEU”) offering

The proceeds from the issuance of the TEUs were allocated initially to equity and debt based on the relative fair value of the respective components of each TEU as follows:



	TEU prepaid stock purchase contracts		TEU amortizing notes		Total
	(In millions, except per unit amounts)
Fair value per unit	$	84.39	$	15.61	$	100.00

Gross proceeds	$	388.2	$	71.8	$	460.0
Less: Issuance costs	10.4		1.9		12.3
Net proceeds	$	377.8	$	69.9	$	447.7

The $377.8 million fair value of the prepaid stock purchase contracts was recorded in Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the $69.9 million of TEU amortizing notes due January 2022 has both a short-term and a long-term component. Upon the issuance of the TEUs, $47.3 million was initially recorded in Long-term debt, less current portion, and $22.6 million was initially recorded in Current portion of long-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company deferred certain debt issuance costs associated with the debt component of the TEUs. These amounts offset the debt liability balance in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized over its term.

TEU prepaid stock purchase contracts

Unless previously settled at the holder’s option, for each purchase contract the Company will deliver to holders on January 15, 2022 (subject to postponement in certain limited circumstances, the “mandatory settlement date”) a number of shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon settlement of each purchase contract (the “settlement rate”) will be determined using the arithmetic average of the volume average weighted price for the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately preceding January 15, 2022 (“the Applicable Market Value”) with reference to the following settlement rates:


•	if the Applicable Market Value of the common stock is greater than the threshold appreciation price of $25.00, then the holder will receive 4.0000 shares of common stock for each purchase contract (the “minimum settlement rate”);


•	if the Applicable Market Value of the common stock is greater than or equal to the reference price of $20.81, but less than or equal to the threshold appreciation price of $25.00, then the holder will receive a number of shares of common stock for each purchase contract having a value, based on the Applicable Market Value, equal to $100; and


•	if the Applicable Market Value of the common stock is less than the reference price of $20.81, then the holder will receive 4.8054 shares of common stock for each purchase contract (the “maximum settlement rate”).

TEU amortizing notes

Each TEU amortizing note has an initial principal amount of $15.6099, bears interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum and has a final installment payment date of January 15, 2022. On each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, commencing on April 15, 2019, the Company pays equal quarterly cash installments of $1.4375 per TEU amortizing note (except for the April 15, 2019 installment payment, which was $1.5014 per TEU amortizing note), which will constitute a payment of interest and a partial repayment of principal, and which cash payment in the aggregate per year will be equivalent to 5.75% per year with respect to the $100 stated amount per unit. The Company has paid $13.5 million representing a partial payment of principal and interest on the TEU amortizing notes in 2019. The TEU amortizing notes are the direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of the existing and future other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.

Earnings per share

Unless the 4.6 million stock purchase contracts are redeemed by the Company or settled earlier at the unit holder’s option, they are mandatorily convertible into shares of Colfax common stock at not less than 4.0 shares per purchase contract or more than 4.8054 shares per purchase contract on January 15, 2022. This corresponds to not less than 18.4 million shares and not more than 22.1 million shares at the maximum. The 18.4 million minimum shares are included in the calculation of weighted-average shares of Common stock outstanding - basic. The difference between the minimum and maximum shares represents potentially dilutive securities. The Company includes them in its calculation of weighted-average shares of Common stock outstanding - diluted on a pro rata basis to the extent the average Applicable Market Value is higher than the reference price but is less than the conversion price.

Repurchase of noncontrolling interest shares

During the first quarter of 2019, a South Africa consolidated subsidiary of the Company repurchased substantially all of the noncontrolling interest shares from existing shareholders under a general offer. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company completed the repurchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest shares. As a part of the Air and Gas Handling business, this subsidiary is reported within held for sale and its results of operations are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility

On December 17, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) by and among the Company, as the borrower, certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company identified therein, as guarantors, each of the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC, as syndication agent, and the co-documentation agents named therein. The Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility which totals $1.3 billion in commitments (the “Revolver”) and a Term A-1 loan in an aggregate amount of $1.2 billion (the “Five Year Term Loan”), each of which matures in five years, and a Term A-2 loan in an aggregate amount of $500 million, which matures in two years (the “Two Year Term Loan” and, together with the Five Year Term Loan, the “Term Loan Facilities”). The Revolver contains a $50 million swing line loan sub-facility.

The initial credit extensions under the Credit Facility were only made available to the Company on the date of consummation of the DJO acquisition, which occurred on February 22, 2019. See Note 4, “Acquisition” for details.

The Term Loan Facilities and the Revolver bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either the base rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) or the Eurocurrency rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), in each case, plus the applicable interest rate margin. The Term Loan Facilities and the Revolver initially bear interest either at the Eurocurrency rate plus 1.75% or at the base rate plus 0.75%, and in future quarters will bear interest either at the Eurocurrency rate or the base rate plus the applicable interest rate margin based upon either, whichever results in the lower applicable interest rate margin (subject to certain exceptions), the Company’s total leverage ratio and the Company’s corporate family credit rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s (ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%, in the case of the Eurocurrency margin, and 0.25% to 1.00%, in the case of the base rate margin). Each swing line loan denominated in dollars bears interest at the base rate plus the applicable interest rate margin and each swing line loan denominated in any other currency available under the Credit Facility bears interest at the Eurocurrency rate plus the applicable interest rate margin.

Certain of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries agreed to guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants limiting the ability of Colfax and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, make investments or pay dividends. In addition, the Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring Colfax to maintain (subject to certain exceptions) (i) a maximum total leverage ratio, calculated as Consolidated Total Debt (as defined in the Credit Facility) divided by EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) of, initially, 6.00:1.00, with a step-down to 5.50:1.00 at the end of the second and third fiscal quarters following the consummation of the DJO acquisition, 4.75:1.00 at the end of the fourth and fifth fiscal quarters, 4.25:1.00 at the end of the sixth fiscal quarter, 4.00:1.00 at the end of the seventh fiscal quarter, and 3.50:1.00 at the end of the eighth fiscal quarter, and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00:1:00. The Credit Facility also contains a “springing” collateral provision, which will require the obligations under the Credit Facility to be secured by substantially all personal property of Colfax and its U.S. subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions, within an agreed period of time if Colfax’s total leverage ratio under the Credit Facility is greater than or equal to 3.75:1.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters following the fourth fiscal quarter ending after consummation of the DJO acquisition. The Credit Facility contains various events of default (including failure to comply with the covenants under the Credit Facility and related agreements) and upon an event of default the lenders may, subject to various customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facilities and the Revolver. As of September 27, 2019, the Company is in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facility.

The proceeds of the loans under the Credit Facility were used by the Company to repay in full its preexisting credit agreement (the “DB Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as the borrower, certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company identified therein, as guarantors, each of the lenders party thereto and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, swing line lender and global coordinator, as well as to pay a portion of the consideration paid by the Company in connection with the DJO acquisition and other related fees.

In conjunction with the Credit Facility, the Company recorded a charge to Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 of $0.8 million to write-off certain original issue discount and deferred financing fees associated with the DB Credit Agreement. In association with the Credit Facility, the Company recorded an aggregate $12.8 million in deferred financing fees, which is being accreted to Interest expense, net primarily using the effective interest method, over the life of the Credit Facility.

As of September 27, 2019, the weighted-average interest rate of borrowings under the Credit Facility was 4.22%, excluding accretion of original issue discount and deferred financing fees, and there was $415.0 million available on the Revolver.

The Credit Facility also requires, under certain circumstances, any funds received as net proceeds from the sale of certain of the Company’s assets or subsidiaries be used to repay outstanding balances on the Term Loan Facilities, as well as outstanding balances under the Revolver. Accordingly, a corresponding amount of interest associated with the Term Loan Facilities and and Revolver has been included in Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. On September 25, 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Facility, which clarified the pre-payment steps required to be taken with the use of any such net proceeds. Subsequent to the end of the quarter on September 30, 2019, upon the completion of the sale of its Air and Gas Handling business, the Company used $1.65 billion of the proceeds to repay a portion of the Term Loan Facilities and the Revolver.

Euro Senior Notes

2024 Notes and 2026 Notes

On February 5, 2019, two tranches of senior notes with aggregate principal amounts of $600 million (the “2024 Notes”) and $400 million (the “2026 Notes”) were issued by CFX Escrow Corporation, an unaffiliated special purpose finance entity established to issue the notes and incorporated in the State of Delaware, to finance a portion of the DJO acquisition. The 2024 Notes are due on February 15, 2024 and have an interest rate of 6.0%. The 2026 Notes are due on February 15, 2026 and have an interest rate of 6.375%.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

For further description of the Company’s litigation and contingencies, reference is made to Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K. Since the Company did not retain an interest in the ongoing operations of the divested Fluid Handling business, the retained asbestos-related activity has been classified in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes.

Asbestos Contingencies

Claims activity since December 31 related to asbestos claims is as follows:



	Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2019		September 28, 2018
	(Number of claims)
Claims unresolved, beginning of period	16,417		17,737

⁽⁴⁾Included in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Management’s analyses are based on currently known facts and assumptions. Projecting future events, such as new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolving each claim, coverage issues among layers of insurers, the method in which losses will be allocated to the various insurance policies, interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships, the continuing solvency of various insurance companies, the amount of remaining insurance available, as well as the numerous uncertainties inherent in asbestos litigation could cause the actual liabilities and insurance recoveries to be higher or lower than those projected or recorded which could materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

Over the next year, the Company expects to be reimbursed for certain asbestos-related costs that were mainly incurred prior to certain court rulings.

Other Litigation Matters

The Company is also involved in other pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of the Company’s business. None of these legal proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company. With respect to these proceedings and the litigation and claims described in the preceding paragraphs, management of the Company believes that it will either prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate accruals 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 adverse to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company.

Overview

In February 2019, we completed our acquisition of DJO Global Inc. (“DJO”) for $3.15 billion in cash. The acquisition of DJO has transformed Colfax by creating a new growth platform: Medical Technology.

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive equity and asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Granite Holdings US Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation, and Brillant 3047, GmbH, a company organized under the laws of Germany (collectively, the “Purchaser”), which are affiliates of KPS Capital Partners, LP (“KPS”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase certain subsidiaries and assets comprising Colfax’s Air and Gas Handling business. On September 30, 2019, Colfax completed the sale of its Air and Gas Handling business to KPS for an aggregate purchase price of $1.8 billion, including $1.67 billion cash paid at closing, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the assumption of certain liabilities and minority interests.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by each party. The covenants relate to, among other things, our ability to compete with the business for a limited period following the closing. We and the Purchaser have agreed to indemnify one another for losses arising from certain breaches of covenants of the parties under the Purchase Agreement and for certain other potential liabilities, subject to certain limitations.

The accounting requirements for reporting the sale of the Air and Gas Handling business as a discontinued operation were met in the second quarter of 2019. Accordingly, the results of operations for the Air and Gas Handling segment have been excluded from the discussion of our results of operations for all periods presented. Refer to Note 3, “Discontinued Operations” in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Based on the above, we now conduct our continuing operations through two segments: Fabrication Technology and Medical Technology, which also represent our reportable segments.


•	Fabrication Technology - a global supplier of consumable products and equipment for use in the cutting, joining, and automated welding of steel, aluminum, and other metals and metal alloys.


•	Medical Technology - a leading provider of orthopedic solutions, providing orthopedic devices, software and services spanning the full continuum of patient care, from injury prevention to joint replacement to rehabilitation.

Certain amounts not allocated to the two reportable segments and intersegment eliminations are reported under the heading “Corporate and other.”

We have sales, engineering, administrative and production facilities throughout the world. Through our reportable segments, we serve a global customer base across multiple markets through a combination of direct sales and third-party distribution channels. Our customer base is highly diversified in the medical and industrial end markets.

During the third quarter of 2018, Argentina became a highly inflationary economy, resulting in the remeasurement of our Argentinian operations into Brazilian real, the functional currency of its direct parent. Gains and losses from the remeasurement are reflected in earnings. Future impacts to earnings of applying highly inflationary accounting for Argentina on our Consolidated Financial Statements will be dependent upon movements in the applicable exchange rates. As of and for the nine months ended September 27, 2019, the Argentina operation represented approximately 1% of our Total assets and Net sales. The devaluation of the Argentinian peso resulted in a loss of $2.3 million and $3.7 million recognized in the Fabrication Technology segment operating income during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, respectively.

Integral to our operations is Colfax Business System (CBS). CBS is our business management system, combining a comprehensive set of tools and repeatable, teachable processes, that we use to create superior value for our customers, shareholders and associates. Rooted in our core values, it is our culture. We believe our management team’s access to, and experience in, the application of CBS is one of our primary competitive strengths.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of Results of Operations addresses the comparison of the periods presented. Our management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon Net sales, Segment operating income, which represents Operating income before Restructuring and other related charges, and Adjusted EBITA as defined in the “Non-GAAP Measures” section.

Items Affecting Comparability of Reported Results

The comparability of our results from continuing operations for three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 to the comparable 2018 periods is affected by the following additional significant items:

Strategic Acquisitions

We complement our organic growth plans with strategic acquisitions. Acquisitions can significantly affect our reported results, and we report the change in our Net sales between periods both from existing and acquired businesses. The change in Net sales due to acquisitions for the periods presented in this filing represents the incremental sales as a result of acquisitions. During the first quarter of 2019, we completed the acquisition of DJO, creating a new growth platform in the high-margin orthopedic solutions market. This acquisition is the natural next step to make our company less cyclical and provide consistent, growing cash flows to execute our strategy for compounding value creation. During the last quarter of 2018, we completed one acquisition in our Fabrication Technology segment.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

A significant portion of our Net sales, approximately 57% and 60% for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, respectively, were derived from operations outside the U.S., with the majority of those sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Because much of our manufacturing and employee costs are outside the U.S., a significant portion of our costs are also denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in foreign exchange rates can impact our results of operations and are quantified when significant. Applying the current year foreign exchange rates to the prior year period results reduced reported third quarter of 2018 Net sales and Income from continuing operations before income taxes by approximately 3% and 4%, respectively, and reduced reported nine months ended September 28, 2018 Net sales and Income from continuing operations before income taxes by approximately 5% and 12%, respectively. The changes in foreign exchange rates since December 31, 2018 also decreased net assets by approximately 4% as of September 27, 2019.

Seasonality

Our European operations typically experience a slowdown during the July, August and December vacation seasons. Sales in our Medical Technology segment typically peak in the fourth quarter. General economic conditions may, however, impact future seasonal variations.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITA

Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP performance measure, is included in this report because it is a key metric used by management to assess our operating performance. Adjusted EBITA excludes from Net income (loss) from continuing operations the effect of restructuring and other related charges, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and other non-cash charges, and strategic transaction costs, as well as provision (benefit) for income taxes, loss on short term investments, interest expense, net and pension settlement loss. We also present Adjusted EBITA margin, which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted EBITA. Further, we present Adjusted EBITA (and Adjusted EBITA margin) on a segment basis, where we exclude the impact of restructuring, strategic transaction costs, and acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges from segment operating income. Adjusted EBITA assists Colfax management in comparing its operating performance over time because certain items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different from the ongoing productivity improvements of the Company. Colfax management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measure that the Company uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Net income (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITA.

⁽³⁾Represents the difference between prior year sales valued at the actual prior year foreign exchange rates and prior year sales valued at current year foreign exchange rates.

The increase in Net sales during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018 is primarily attributed to Net sales from acquisitions. Net sales from our newly-acquired Medical Technology segment were $307.3 million during the third quarter of 2019. Net sales from acquisitions in our Fabrication Technology segment were $33.1 million. Net sales from existing businesses decreased $3.2 million in our Fabrication Technology segment. Fluctuation of foreign currency translation rates had a negative impact of $14.7 million during the quarter due largely to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies.

The increase in Net sales during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared to nine months ended September 28, 2018 is mainly driven by acquisitions and foreign currency translation effects. Acquisitions contributed $746.7 million to the Medical Technology segment and $109.2 million of sales to our Fabrication Technology segment. Net sales from existing businesses increased $41.0 million in our Fabrication Technology segment. Fluctuation of foreign currency translation rates had a negative impact of $76.1 million during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 due largely to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies.

Third Quarter of 2019 Compared to Third Quarter of 2018

The $196.8 million increase in Gross profit during the third quarter of 2019 in comparison to the third quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to our newly-acquired Medical Technology segment, which contributed Gross profit of $174.0 million during the third quarter of 2019. Gross profit in our Fabrication Technology segment grew $22.8 million during the third quarter of 2019 in comparison to the third quarter of 2018 due to acquisition-related growth of $11.8 million as well as improved price and restructuring benefits offset slightly by softening of sales volume. Improved Gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2019 compared to third quarter of 2018 was primarily attributed to higher gross margin from our newly-acquired Medical Technology segment.

The $160.9 million increase in Selling, general and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2018 was mainly due to the inclusion of $155.1 million in our newly-acquired Medical Technology segment. The $35.0 million increase in acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2018 was mainly related to the incremental amortization of intangibles and inventory step-up charges, based on preliminary estimates, in our new Medical Technology segment. Restructuring and other related charges increased during the third quarter of 2019 in comparison to the third quarter of 2018, mainly due to restructuring activities in our Medical Technologies segment.

Interest expense, net for the third quarter of 2019 increased by $20.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2018, primarily attributable to increases in debt related to our acquisition of DJO.

The effective tax rate for Income from continuing operations during the third quarter of 2019 was (56.0)%, which was lower than the 2019 U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% mainly due to a discrete tax benefit associated with the enactment of tax law changes in a European jurisdiction offset in part by losses in certain jurisdictions where a tax benefit is not expected to be recognized in 2019 and non-deductible deal costs. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 was 28.9%, which was higher than the 2018 U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% mainly due to losses in certain tax jurisdictions where a tax benefit is not expected to be realized in 2018, the net impact of foreign earnings taxed at a higher rate offset in part by the expected realization of U.S. tax credits.

Net income from continuing operations decreased in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2018 for the reasons discussed above. Net income margin from continuing operations decreased by 280 basis points during the third quarter of 2019 in comparison to the third quarter of 2018.

The higher Adjusted EBITA in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2018 was primarily driven by the contribution from our newly-acquired Medical Technology segment. Adjusted EBITA margin increased by 530 basis points during the third quarter of 2019 in comparison to the third quarter of 2018, mainly attributable to the Adjusted EBITA margin of 18.5% in our Medical Technology segment and margin growth in our Fabrication Technology segment.

Nine Months Ended September 27, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 28, 2018

The $457.4 million increase in Gross profit during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 in comparison to the nine months ended September 28, 2018 was primarily attributable to our newly-acquired Medical Technology segment, which contributed Gross profit of $410.9 million during the nine months ended September 27, 2019. Gross profit in our Fabrication Technology segment grew $46.5 million during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 in comparison to the nine months ended September 28, 2018 mainly due to acquisition-related growth of $39.7 million. These improvements were partially offset by negative foreign currency exchange translation of $24.4 million. The U.S. dollar strengthened during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 against certain currencies including the United Kingdom Pound, the Euro, and the Brazil Real. Improved Gross profit margin in the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared to nine months ended September 28, 2018 was primarily attributed to higher gross margin in our newly-acquired Medical Technology segment.

The $442.9 million increase in Selling, general and administrative expense in the nine months ended September 27, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018 was mainly due to the inclusion of $376.7 million in our newly-acquired Medical Technology segment and $56.7 million of strategic transaction costs included in our Corporate costs in the nine months ended September 27, 2019. The strategic transaction costs mainly relate to our DJO acquisition. The $96.0 million increase in acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges in the nine months ended September 27, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018 was mainly related to the incremental amortization of intangibles and inventory step-up charges, based on preliminary estimates, in our new Medical Technology segment. Restructuring and other related charges increased during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 in comparison to the nine months ended September 28, 2018, mainly due to restructuring activities in our Medical Technologies segment.

Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 increased by $53.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018, primarily attributable to increases in debt related to our acquisition of DJO.

The loss on short term investments during the nine months ended September 28, 2018 was due to the change in fair value and subsequent sale of the CIRCOR Shares received in connection with the Fluid Handling business sale.

The effective tax rate for Loss from continuing operations during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 was (78.5)%, which was lower than the 2019 U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% mainly due to losses in certain jurisdictions where a tax benefit is not expected to be recognized in 2019, $16.7 million of non-deductible deal costs, and an aggregate $9.2 million unfavorable discrete U.S. income tax expense due to a change in valuation allowance and state tax expense as a result of the DJO acquisition offset in part by a discrete tax benefit associated with the enactment of tax law changes in a European jurisdiction. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 was (5.0)%, which was lower than the 2018 U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% mainly due to the effective settlement of uncertain tax positions, an enacted tax rate change in a foreign jurisdiction, valuation allowance reversals and the expected realization of certain U.S. tax credits, offset in part by losses in certain jurisdictions where a tax benefit is not expected to be recognized in 2018.

Net (loss) income from continuing operations in the nine months ended September 27, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018 decreased for the reasons discussed above. Net (loss) income margin from continuing operations decreased by 590 basis points for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018.

The higher Adjusted EBITA in the nine months ended September 27, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018 was primarily driven by the contribution from our newly-acquired Medical Technology segment. Adjusted EBITA margin increased by 340 basis points during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 in comparison to the nine months ended September 28, 2018, mainly attributable to the Adjusted EBITA margin of 18.1% in our Medical Technology segment and margin growth in our Fabrication Technology segment.

Business Segments

As discussed further above, we report results in two reportable segments: Fabrication Technology and Medical Technology.

Fabrication Technology

We formulate, develop, manufacture and supply consumable products and equipment for use in the cutting, joining and automated welding of steel, aluminum and other metals and metal alloys. Our fabrication technology products are marketed under several brand names, most notably ESAB, which we believe is well known in the global cutting and welding industry. ESAB’s comprehensive range of welding consumables includes electrodes, cored and solid wires and fluxes using a wide range of specialty and other materials, and cutting consumables including electrodes, nozzles, shields and tips. ESAB’s fabrication technology equipment ranges from portable welding machines to large customized automated cutting and welding systems. Products are sold into a wide range of end markets, including infrastructure, wind power, marine, pipelines, mobile/off-highway equipment, oil, gas, and mining.

The following table summarizes selected financial data for our Fabrication Technology segment:

Net sales increased $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. This growth included $33.1 million of acquisition-related growth and a negative foreign currency translation impact of $14.7 million. The growth rate from existing businesses decreased slightly by 0.6% due to modest softening of sales volume offset by increased customer prices that addressed higher material and other inflation costs. Gross profit increased in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2018 mainly due to acquisition-related growth as well as improved price and restructuring benefits, offset slightly by lower sales volumes. Gross profit margin increased when compared to the same period in 2018, mainly due to the impact of favorable price increases and restructuring benefits offset partially by inflation and a less favorable product mix. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018, mainly attributable to $10.4 million of acquisition-related growth partially offset by foreign currency translation impact. The higher Segment operating

income and Adjusted EBITA in the third quarter of 2019 compared to third quarter of 2018 were mainly the result of higher Gross profit partially offset by the increase in Selling, general and administrative expense. Segment operating income margin and Adjusted EBITA margin both increased due to favorable price increases and restructuring benefits. Restructuring and other related charges decreased during the third quarter of 2019 in comparison to the third quarter of 2018, as a result of a different pace of our cost reduction programs.

Net sales increased $74.1 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018. This growth included $41.0 million from existing businesses across all regions, $109.2 million of acquisition-related growth and a negative foreign currency translation impact of $76.1 million. The growth rate from existing businesses included 3.7% from increased customer prices to address higher material and other inflation costs slightly offset by modest softening of sales volume. Gross profit increased in the nine months ended September 27, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018 mainly due to acquisition-related growth. Gross profit margin increased slightly when compared to the same period in 2018, mainly due to the impact of favorable price increases being partially offset by negative foreign currency translation impact, inflation, and a less favorable mix of products sold. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2018, mainly attributable to $28.3 million of acquisition-related growth partially offset by foreign currency translation impact. The higher Segment operating income and Adjusted EBITA in the nine months ended September 27, 2019 compared to nine months ended September 28, 2018 were mainly the result of higher Gross profit partially offset by the increase in Selling, general and administrative expense. Segment operating income margin and Adjusted EBITA margin both increased due to favorable price increases and lower Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales. Restructuring and other related charges decreased during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 in comparison to the nine months ended September 28, 2018, as a result of a different pace of our cost reduction programs.

During the third quarter of 2019, we settled a non-U.S. pension plan in the Fabrication Technology segment through a third-party buyout arrangement. As a result of the settlement, a loss of $33.6 million was recognized.

Medical Technology

We develop, manufacture and distribute high-quality medical devices and services across the continuum of patient care from injury prevention to joint replacement to rehabilitation after surgery, injury or from degenerative disease, enabling people to regain or maintain their natural motion. Our products are used by orthopedic specialists, spine surgeons, primary care physicians, pain management specialists, physical therapists, podiatrists, chiropractors, athletic trainers and other healthcare professionals. Our products primarily include orthopedic braces, rehabilitation devices, footwear, surgical implants, and bone growth stimulators.

The following table summarizes the selected financial data for our Medical Technology segment:



	Three Months Ended September 27, 2019			From February 22, 2019 to September 27, 2019

⁽¹⁾Restructuring and other related charges includes $3.5 million of expense classified as Cost of sales on the Company’s

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019.

Net sales for our Medical Technology segment in the third quarter of 2019 and on a year-to-date basis since the acquisition date compared to the same periods in 2018 increased primarily due to organic growth which we have estimated to approximate 4.5% for the three months ended September 27, 2019. Year over year comparison of the other selected financial data above is not practical. Profit margins in the third quarter of 2019 compared to second quarter of 2019 have improved as a result of cost reductions and productivity improvements beginning to take hold. Third quarter of 2019 and year-to-date acquisition-related amortization and other non-cash charges includes inventory fair value charges of $1.4 million and $20.1 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have financed our capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, various borrowings and the issuances of equity. We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, funding of acquisitions, capital expenditures, restructuring, and asbestos-related cash outflows. We believe we could raise additional funds in the form of debt or equity if it was determined to be appropriate for strategic acquisitions or other corporate purposes. Subsequent to the end of the quarter on September 30, 2019, the sale of our Air and Gas Handling business was completed and we used $1.65 billion of the proceeds, as required by the Credit Facility, to repay a portion of the Term Loan Facilities and the Revolver.

Equity Capital

On February 12, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of our Common stock from time-to-time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Board of Directors increased the repurchase authorization by an additional $100 million on June 6, 2018, and again for an additional $100 million on July 19, 2018. The timing, amount, and method of shares repurchased is determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors.

There were no repurchases made during the nine months ended September 27, 2019. As of September 27, 2019, the remaining stock repurchase authorization provided by our Board of Directors was $100.0 million.

Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility

On December 17, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) by and among the Company, as the borrower, certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company identified therein, as guarantors, each of the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Credit Suisse Loan Funding LLC, as syndication agent, and the co-documentation agents named therein. The Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility which totals $1.3 billion in commitments (the “Revolver”) and a Term A-1 loan in an aggregate amount of $1.2 billion (the “Five Year Term Loan”), each of which matures in five years, and a Term A-2 loan in an aggregate amount of $500 million, which matures in two years (the “Two Year Term Loan” and, together with the Five Year Term Loan, the “Term Loan Facilities”). The Revolver contains a $50 million swing line loan sub-facility.

The initial credit extensions under the Credit Facility were only made available to us on the date of consummation of the DJO acquisition, which occurred on February 22, 2019. See Note 4, “Acquisition” in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

We used the proceeds of the loans under the Credit Facility to repay in full our preexisting credit agreement (the “DB Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as the borrower, certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company identified therein, as guarantors, each of the lenders party thereto and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, swing line lender and global coordinator, as well as to pay a portion of the consideration paid by the Company in connection with the DJO acquisition and other related fees.

The Credit Facility also requires that any funds received as net proceeds from the sale of any of the Company’s subsidiaries be used to repay outstanding balances on the Term Loan Facilities and Revolver. Accordingly, a corresponding amount of interest associated with the Term Loan Facilities and Revolver has been included in Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. On September 25, 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Facility, which outlined pre-payment steps that are required to be taken with the use of any proceeds. Subsequent to the end of the quarter on September 30, 2019, upon the completion of the sale of its Air and Gas Handling business, the Company used $1.65 billion of the proceeds to repay a portion of the Term Loan Facilities and Revolver.

As of September 27, 2019, we are in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facility.

Euro Senior Notes

On April 19, 2017, we issued senior unsecured notes with an aggregate principal amount of €350 million (the “Euro Senior Notes”). The Euro Senior Notes are due in April 2025 and have an interest rate of 3.25%. The proceeds from the Euro Senior Notes offering were used to repay borrowings under our DB Credit Agreement and bilateral credit facilities totaling €283.5 million, as well as for general corporate purposes, and are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantees”). The Euro Senior Notes and the Guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

2022 Tangible Equity Units

On January 11, 2019, we issued $460 million in tangible equity units. We offered 4 million of its 5.75% tangible equity units at the stated amount of $100 per unit. An option to purchase up to an additional 600,000 tangible equity units at the stated amount of $100 per unit was exercised in full at settlement. Total cash of $447.7 million was received upon closing, comprised of $377.8 million TEU prepaid stock purchase contracts and $69.9 million of TEU amortizing notes due January 2022. The proceeds were used to finance a portion of the purchase price for the DJO acquisition and for general corporate purposes. Refer to Note 8, “Equity” in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

2024 Notes and 2026 Notes

On February 5, 2019, CFX Escrow Corporation, an unaffiliated special purpose finance entity established to issue the notes and incorporated in the State of Delaware, issued two tranches of senior notes with aggregate principal amounts of $600 million (the “2024 Notes”) and $400 million (the “2026 Notes”) to finance a portion of the DJO acquisition. The 2024 Notes are due on February 15, 2024 and have an interest rate of 6.0%. The 2026 Notes are due on February 15, 2026 and have an interest rate of 6.375%. Upon closing of the acquisition, we assumed all of CFX Escrow Corporation’s obligations under the 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes. Each tranche of notes is guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries.

Other Indebtedness

In addition, we are party to various bilateral credit facilities with a borrowing capacity of $267.4 million. As of September 27, 2019, outstanding borrowings under these facilities total $35.0 million, with a weighted average borrowing rate of 3.75%.

The continuing operations of the Company are also party to letter of credit facilities with total capacity of $498.2 million. Total letters of credit of $57.8 million were outstanding as of September 27, 2019.

Repurchase of Noncontrolling Interest

During the first quarter of 2019, a South Africa consolidated subsidiary of the Company repurchased repurchased substantially all of the noncontrolling interest shares from existing shareholders under a general offer. During the second quarter of 2019, we completed the repurchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest shares. Based on local requirements, the entity was required to enter into a debt arrangement to enact the repurchases. During the second quarter of 2019, the outstanding loan balance associated with this transaction was repaid.

We believe that our sources of liquidity are adequate to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

As of September 27, 2019, we had $166.8 million of Cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $78.2 million from $245.0 million as of December 31, 2018. The Cash and cash equivalents as of September 27, 2019 and December 31, 2018 include $39.7 million and $167.9 million, respectively, related to the Air and Gas Handling business, which are reported in Current portion of assets held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the change in Cash and cash equivalents during the periods indicated:

Cash provided by operating activities of discontinued operations related to the sale of the Air and Gas Handling business for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018 was $18.0 million and $71.7 million, respectively. Cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations related to the sale of the Air and Gas Handling business for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018 was $27.5 million and $35.3 million, respectively.

We did not have material cash flows for discontinued operations related to the sale of the Fluid Handling business during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018.

Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period due to changes in working capital and the timing of payments for items such as pension funding and asbestos-related costs. Changes in significant operating cash flow items, inclusive of activities for our discontinued operations, are discussed below.


•	During the nine months ended September 27, 2019, $56.7 million of strategic transaction costs were paid, mainly related to the DJO acquisition, which negatively impacted our operating cash flow for the period.

•

Net cash received or paid for asbestos-related costs, net of insurance proceeds, including the disposition of claims, defense costs and legal expenses related to litigation against our insurers, creates variability in our operating cash flows. During the nine months ended September 27, 2019, we had net asbestos cash outflows of $18.5 million. During the nine months ended September 28, 2018, we had net asbestos cash outflows of $13.7 million.

•

Funding requirements of our defined benefit plans, including pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, can vary significantly from period-to-period due to changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial assumptions. For the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, cash contributions for defined benefit plans were $6.4 million and $30.6 million, respectively.


•	During the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018, net cash payments of $65.5 million and $34.6 million, respectively, were made for our restructuring initiatives.

Changes in net working capital also affected the operating cash flows for the periods presented. We define working capital as Trade receivables, net and Inventories, net reduced by Accounts payable and Customer advances and billings in excess of costs incurred. During the nine months ended September 27, 2019, net working capital consumed cash of $90.1 million, before the impact of foreign exchange. This use of cash included an estimated $40 million one-time effort to bring DJO suppliers into payment terms consistent with our normal practices, as well as to eliminate a DJO accounts receivable factoring program. The remaining cash usage primarily related to an increase in inventory levels due to growth in certain product lines, as well as strategic purchases to address global tariffs and support DJO operational transformation projects. During the nine months ended September 28, 2018, net working capital consumed cash of $83.2 million, before the impact of foreign exchange, primarily due to an increase in inventory levels and receivables, partially offset by an increase in payables, all of which resulted from an organic increase in Net sales.


•	Working capital for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 and September 28, 2018 reflect normal seasonal changes.

Cash flows used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 27, 2019 include the DJO acquisition. During the nine months ended September 28, 2018, cash flows provided by investing activities reflect proceeds from the sale of CIRCOR common stock and proceeds from the divestiture of the Fluid Handling business.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 27, 2019 were impacted by proceeds from borrowings on newly-acquired debt and issuance of tangible equity units in conjunction with the DJO acquisition, partially offset by the repurchases of all noncontrolling interest shares of a subsidiary in South Africa. Cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 were impacted by the repurchase of approximately 6.4 million shares of our Common stock for $200.0 million.

Our Cash and cash equivalents as of September 27, 2019 include $119.5 million held in jurisdictions outside the U.S. We currently do not intend nor foresee a need to repatriate these funds. If, however, we elect to repatriate future earnings from foreign jurisdictions, such repatriation remittances may be subject to taxes, other local statutory restrictions and minority partner distributions.

Critical Accounting Policies

The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based upon our historical experience, our evaluation of business and macroeconomic trends and information from other outside sources, as appropriate. Our experience and assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what our management anticipates, and different assumptions or estimates about the future could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods that approximates the results of a full retrospective approach without restating prior periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the standard, which among other things, allowed historical lease classification to be carried forward. Additionally, we elected the practical expedient to consolidate less significant non-lease components into the lease component for all asset classes. We made an accounting policy election, as permitted by Topic 842 to only record a right-of-use asset and related liability for leases with an initial term in excess of 12 months. We recognize those lease payments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

There have been no other significant additions to the methods, estimates and judgments included in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in short-term interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices that could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We address our exposure to these risks through our normal operating and financing activities. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to exposure from changes in short-term interest rates related to interest payments on our borrowing arrangements. A significant amount of our borrowings as of September 27, 2019, are variable-rate facilities based on LIBOR or EURIBOR. In order to mitigate our interest rate risk, we may enter into interest rate swap or collar agreements. A hypothetical increase in interest rates of 1.00% during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019 would have increased Interest expense by approximately $9.6 million and $25.5 million, respectively.

Exchange Rate Risk

We have manufacturing sites throughout the world and sell our products globally. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar and against the currencies of other countries in which we manufacture and sell products and services. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2019, approximately 57% and 60%, respectively, of our sales were derived from operations outside the U.S. We have significant manufacturing operations in European countries that are not part of the Eurozone. Sales are more highly weighted toward the Euro and U.S. dollar. We also have significant contractual obligations in U.S. dollars that are met with cash flows in other currencies as well as U.S. dollars. To better match revenue and expense as well as cash needs from contractual liabilities, we regularly enter into cross currency swaps and forward contracts.

We also face exchange rate risk from our investments in subsidiaries owned and operated in foreign countries. Euro denominated borrowings under the Credit Facility and Euro Senior Notes provide a natural hedge to a portion of our European net asset position. The effect of a change in currency exchange rates on our net investment in international subsidiaries, net of the translation effect of the Company’s Euro denominated borrowings, is reflected in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss component of Equity. A 10% depreciation in major currencies, relative to the U.S. dollar as of September 27, 2019 (net of the translation effect of our Euro denominated borrowings) would result in a reduction in Equity of approximately $332 million.

We also face exchange rate risk from transactions with customers in countries outside the U.S. and from intercompany transactions between affiliates. Although we use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency for reporting purposes, we have manufacturing sites throughout the world, and a substantial portion of our costs are incurred and sales are generated in foreign currencies. Costs incurred and sales recorded by subsidiaries operating outside of the U.S. are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates effective during the respective period. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar. In particular, we have more sales in European currencies than we have expenses in those currencies. Although a significant portion of this difference is hedged, when European currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar, operating profits are increased or decreased, respectively.

We have generally accepted the exposure to exchange rate movements without using derivative financial instruments to manage this risk. Both positive and negative movements in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar will, therefore, continue to affect the reported amount of sales, profit, assets and liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials used in our production processes. Commodity futures contracts are periodically used to manage such exposure. As of September 27, 2019, our open commodity futures contracts were not material.

See Note 14, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our derivative instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 27, 2019. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in this report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company completed the DJO acquisition on February 22, 2019. Management considers this transaction to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and believes that the internal controls and procedures of DJO have a material effect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. We are currently in the process of incorporating the internal controls and procedures of DJO into our internal controls over financial reporting and extending our compliance program under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to include DJO. The Company will report on its assessment of the consolidated operations within the time period provided by the Exchange Act and the applicable SEC rules and regulations concerning business combinations.

Other than the DJO acquisition noted above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
