For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts the Company’s customers are invoiced and do not bear interest. Accounts Receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts related to trade receivables includes evaluation of specific accounts where the Company has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. The Company had allowances for doubtful accounts of $580 and $240 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market. All equipment classified as inventory is available for sale. The Company records excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The estimated reserve is based upon specific identification of excess or obsolete inventories. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred and are not capitalized as a component of inventory.

Accrued Warranties

Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s products are typically sold with a warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period of time. The specific warranty offered is a function of customer expectations and competitive forces. The Equipment Distribution segment does not accrue for warranty costs at the time of sales, as they are reimbursed by the manufacturers for any warranty that they provide to their customers.

A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. Historical warranty experience is, however, reviewed by management. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the initial warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. Warranty reserves are reviewed to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may impact the potential warranty liability.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue and related costs are recognized when title passes and risk of loss passes to our customers which generally occurs upon shipment depending upon the terms of the contract.  Under certain contracts with our customers title passes to the customers when the units are completed. The units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer, the customer is notified that the units are complete and awaiting pick up or delivery as specified by the customer before income is recognized. Additionally, the customer is requested to sign an “Invoice Authorization Form” which acknowledges the contract terms and acknowledges that the customer has economic ownership and control over the unit. It also acknowledges that we are going to invoice the unit per terms of the contract. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.

7


For FOB contracts, customers may be invoiced prior to the time customers take physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed, tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the customer has authorized in writing that we hold the units for pickup or delivery at a time specified by the customer. In such cases, the units are invoiced under our customary billing terms, title to the units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer and we have no further obligations under the order. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.

In addition, our policy requires in all instances certain minimum criteria be met in order to recognize revenue, specifically:

a)

Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;

b)

The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;

c)

Collectability is reasonably assured; and

d)

We have no significant obligations for future performance.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts—The Company enters into derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk related to certain foreign term loans. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in current earnings immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which case the effective portion of the gain or loss is recognized and is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedging instrument affects earnings (date of sale). As part of the acquisition of PM Group, which was acquired on January 15, 2015, the Company acquired interest rate swap contracts, which manage the exposure to interest rate risk related to term loans with certain financial institutions in Italy. These contracts have been determined not to be hedge instruments under ASC 815-10.

 

Litigation Claims

In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the Company must assess the allegations and the likelihood that it will successfully defend itself. When the Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular matter, it will then make an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on the advice of legal counsel.

Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. The effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

Comprehensive Income

Reporting “Comprehensive Income” requires reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income includes, in addition to net earnings, other items that are reported as direct adjustments to stockholder’s equity. Currently, the comprehensive income adjustment required for the Company has two components. First is a foreign currency translation adjustment, the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiaries. The second component is a derivative instrument fair market value adjustment (net of income taxes) related to forward currency contracts designated as a cash flow hedge.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; (2) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (3) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (4) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.

ASC 805 requires that any excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805, any excess of fair value of acquired net assets, including identifiable intangibles assets, over the acquisition consideration results in a bargain purchase gain. Prior to recording a gain, the

8


acquiring entity must reassess whether all acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and recognized and perform re-measurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been properly valued.

PM Group and Columbia Tank results are included in the Company’s results from their respective dates of acquisition of January 15, 2015 and March 12, 2015.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

In conjunction with the adoption of new accounting standards, certain debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as well as certain amounts as of December 31, 2015, have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

PM historically grouped all operating expenses and did not classify them as either cost of sales or as selling, general and administrative expenses. For the quarter ending March 31, 2015, operating expenses were classified as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expense. This classification was based on the information that was available at the time. Subsequent to first quarter 2015, PM has refined the calculation and has determined that $1,710 of expense classified as selling, general and administrative expense should have been included in cost of sales in the first quarter of 2015.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015 employee severance expense of $344 was included in other expense.  The aforementioned amounts have to been reclassified and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2015 gains on interest rate swaps of $354 were included in other expense. The aforementioned amounts have to been reclassified and are included as a component of interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

In accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are valued based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The Company engaged a valuation expert and a tax advisor to provide guidance and assistance to management which was considered and in part relied upon in completing its purchase price allocation. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate estimated fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. The following table summarizes the revised allocation of the PM acquisition consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

Contingent Liability . In accordance with ASC 805, the acquirer is to recognize the acquisition date fair value of contingent liability. The Company entered into an Option Agreement with one of the PM Group senior banks under which the bank will sell to the Company PM debt with a face value of €5,000. Under the Option Agreement, the bank shall receive €2,500 if PM has 2017 EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, of between €14,500 and €16,500, and €5,000 if 2017 EBITDA exceeds €16,500. If 2017 EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, is less than €14,500, the bank is to sell the debt to the Company for €0.001. Given the disparity between the EBITDA threshold and the Company’s projected financial results, it was determined that a Monte Carlo simulation analysis was appropriate to determine the fair value of contingent consideration. It was determined that the probability weighted average payment is €1,093 or $1,270. Based thereon, we determined the fair value of the contingent liability to be €1,093 or $1,270. This amount is included in other long-term liabilities in the above table.

Non-interest bearing debt . In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed non-interest bearing debt of €10,289. The fair value of the non-interest bearing debt was determined to be €8,829 or $10,435. The fair value of the non-interest bearing debt was calculated to equal the present value of future debt payments discounted at a market rate of return commensurate with similar debt instruments with comparable levels of risk and marketability. A rate of 5.24% was determined to be the appropriate rate following an assessment of the risk inherent in the debt issued and the market rate for debt of this nature using corporate credit ratings.

The interest rate swap derivative was valued at its fair value, which is based on quotes from a financial institution.

10


Tangible assets and liabilities: The tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying values by PM, except for certain adjustments necessary to state such amounts at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Significant fair market adjustments were made to decrease accounts receivable by $260, increase inventory by $911, decrease fixed assets by $4,699 and to decrease liabilities by $345.

Intangible assets: There are three fundamental methods applied to value intangible assets outlined in FASB ASC 820. These methods include the Cost Approach, the Market Approach, and the Income Approach. Each of these valuation approaches were considered in our estimation of value.

Trade names and trademarks, patented and unpatented technology: Valued using the Relief from Royalty method, a form of both the Market Approach and the Income Approach. Because the Company has established trade names and trademarks and has developed patented and unpatented technology, we estimated the benefit of ownership as the relief from the royalty expense that would need to be incurred in absence of ownership.

Customer relationships: Because there is a specific earnings stream that can be associated with customer relationships, we determined the fair value of these relationships based on the excess earnings method, a form of the Income Approach.

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of total consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired. The recognition of goodwill of $30,173 reflects the inherent value in the PM reputation, which has been built since being founded in 1959 and the prospects for significant future earnings.

In calculating the Company’s deferred tax liabilities the fact that goodwill is not deductible was considered.

Acquisition transaction costs: Cost and expenses related to the acquisition have been expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred fees of $194 for legal services, $750 for acquisition related bonus payments, $347 for accounting services in connection with the prior year audit of PM financial statements and $294 for other costs related to the acquisition.

The results of the acquired PM operations have been included in our consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date. PM is included in the Lifting segment for segment reporting purposes.

 

Columbia Tanks

On March 12, 2015 the Company’s subsidiary, Manitex Sabre, entered into an inventory purchase agreement and an equipment purchase agreement with Columbia Tanks LLC, an Indiana company and J.F. Henry, the “Member”, for the purchase of inventory and used manufacturing equipment. In a separate agreement with F.H. Associates, the Company entered into a three year lease of a 99,000 square foot manufacturing facility at an annual rent commencing at $240 per annum and increasing to $270 and $300 for the second and third years, respectively.  The lease is renewable after three years at the Company’s option.

The fair value of the purchase consideration was $1,214 in total as shown below:

Seller Note . In connection with the inventory and equipment purchases, the Company issued two non-interest bearing notes for $450 and $390 that mature on August 31, 2016 and May 31, 2016, respectively. The fair value of Inventory Note and the Equipment Note was determined to be $436 and $378. The fair value of the notes was calculated to equal the present value of future debt payments discounted at a market rate of return commensurate with similar debt instruments with comparable levels of risk and marketability. A rate of 4.0% was determined to be the appropriate rate following an assessment of the risk inherent in the debt issued and the market rate for debt of this nature using corporate credit ratings.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are valued based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to final review of inventory, fixed assets and related intangibles.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820-10 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1

 

 

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

 

 

 

 

Level 2

 

 

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

 

 

 

 

Level 3

 

 

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

12


Fair value of the forward currency contracts are determined on the last day of each reporting period using observable inputs, which are supplied to the Company by the foreign currency trading operation of its bank and are Level 2 items.

 

 

5. Derivatives Financial Instruments

The Company’s risk management objective is to use the most efficient and effective methods available to us to minimize, eliminate, reduce or transfer the risks which are associated with fluctuation of exchange rates between the Canadian dollar, Euro, Chilean Peso and the U.S. dollar.

Forward Currency Contracts

When the Company’s Canadian subsidiary receives a significant new U.S. dollar order, management will evaluate different options that may be available to mitigate future currency exchange risks. The decision to hedge future sales is not automatic and is decided case by case. The Company will only use hedge instruments to hedge firm existing sales orders and not estimated exposure, when management determines that exchange risks exceeds desired risk tolerance levels. The forward currency contracts used to hedge future sales are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815-10 provided certain criteria are met.

The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts in relationship such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency would be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. The forward currency exchange contracts that the Company has to offset existing assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency have been determined not to be considered a hedge under ASC 815-10. The Company records at the balance sheet date the forward currency exchange contracts at its market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to forward currency contracts are included in current earnings and are reflected in the Statement of Income in the other income expense section on the line titled foreign currency transaction gains (losses). Items denominated in other than a reporting units functional currency includes U.S. denominated accounts receivables and accounts payable held by our Canadian subsidiary and certain intercompany receivables due from the Company’s Canadian and Italian subsidiaries.

As required, forward currency contracts are recognized as an asset or liability at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (date of sale). Gains or losses on cash flow hedges when recognized into income are included in net revenues. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The Company expects minimal ineffectiveness as the Company has hedged only firm sales orders and has not hedged estimated exposures. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding forward currency contracts that were in place to hedge future sales. Therefore, there are currently no unrealized pre-tax gains or losses which will be reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months.

At March 31, 2016, the Company had entered into two forward currency exchange contracts. The contracts obligates the Company to purchase approximately CDN $2,060. The first contract for CDN$125 matures on May 10, 2016. Under the contract, the Company will purchase Canadian dollars at an exchange rate of $0.7225.  The second contract for CDN$1,935 matures on May 26, 2016. Under the contract, the Company will purchase Canadian dollars at an exchange rate of $0.7752. The Canadian to US dollar exchange rates was $0.7700 at March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016, the Company had forward currency contracts to sell Euros. The contracts obligate the Company to sell  €1,100 in total. The contracts, which are in various amounts, mature between April 29, 2016 and July 1, 2016. Under the contracts, the Company will sell Euros at exchange rates between $1.3670  and $1.4307. The Euro to US dollar exchange rate was 1.1390 at March 31, 2016.

The Company’s PM Group has an intercompany receivable denominated in Euros from its Chilean subsidiary. At March 31, 2016, the Company has entered into two forward contracts that mature on July 11, 2016.  The purpose of which is to mitigate the income effect related to this intercompany receivable that results with a change in exchange rate between the Euro and the Chilean peso. The first contract obligates the Company to purchase €2,096 at $1.0912. The second contract obliges the Company to sell 1,700,000 Chilean pesos at an exchange rate of 743.25 per U.S. dollar. These two contracts achieve the desired purpose as U.S. dollar amounts involved in the two forward contracts offset each other.

13


Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company uses financial instruments available on the market, including derivatives, solely to minimize its cost of borrowing and hedge the risk of interest rate and exchange rate fluctuation. In January 2009, prior to the January 15, 2015 acquisition date, PM Group entered into the following contract in order to hedge the interest rate risk related to its term loans with two financial institutions:

A contract signed by PM Group, for an original notional amount of € 20,000 (€ 20,000 at March 16, 2016), maturing on February 3, 2017 with interest payable every February 3 and August 3 each year. PM Group pays interest at a rate of 3.48% and receives from the counterparties interest at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“Euribor”) for the period in question.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had the following forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps:

The Counterparty to each of the currency exchange forward contracts is a major financial institution with credit ratings of investment grade or better and no collateral is required. Management continues to monitor counterparty risk and believes the risk of incurring losses on derivative contracts related to credit risk is unlikely.

6. Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of convertible debt and restricted stock units. Details of the calculations are as follows:

7. Equity

Stock Issuance

Shares issued to Terex Corporation

On March 1, 2016, the Company issued 30,425 shares of common stock to the Terex Corporation as the Company elected to pay $150 of the final principal payment due March 1, 2016 in shares of the Company’s common stock. The share price for the transaction was $4.93 which was determined based upon the average closing price for the twenty trading days ending the day before the payment was due.

Stock issued to employees and Directors

The Company issued shares of common stock to employees and Directors as restricted stock units issued under the Company’s 2004 Incentive Plan vested. Upon issuance entries were recorded to increase common stock and decrease paid in capital for the amounts shown below. The following is a summary of stock issuances that occurred during the period:

On March 13, 2015, the Company paid a portion of officers and employee 2014 bonuses in stock. This resulted in an issuance of 22,868 shares with an aggregate value of $212. Upon issuance, the Company’s common stock was increased by $212 and the bonus accrual was decreased by a corresponding amount.

Stock Repurchase

On January 1, 2016, the Company purchased 7,074 shares of Common Stock from certain employees at $5.95  per share the closing price on that date. The stock was purchased from the employees to satisfy employees’ withholding tax obligations related to stock issued on January 1, 2016.  Common stock was decreased by $42 , the value of the shares purchased.

 

2004 Equity Incentive Plan

In 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and subsequently amended and restated the plan on September 13, 2007 and May 28, 2009. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 917,046 shares. The total number of shares reserved for issuance however, can be adjusted to reflect certain corporate transactions or changes in the Company’s capital structure. The Company’s employees and members of the board of directors who are not our employees or employees of our affiliates are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan is administered by a committee of the board comprised of members who are outside directors. The plan provides that the committee has the authority to, among other things, select plan participants, determine the type and amount of awards, determine award terms, fix all other conditions of any awards, interpret the plan and any plan awards. Under the plan, the committee can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units, except Directors may not be granted stock appreciation rights, performance shares and performance units. During any calendar year, participants are limited in the number of grants they may receive under the plan. In any year, an individual may not receive options for more than 15,000 shares, stock appreciation rights with respect to more than 20,000 shares, more than 20,000 shares of restricted stock and/or an award for more than 10,000 performance shares or restricted stock units or performance units. The plan requires that the exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights be not less than fair market value of the Company’s common stock on date of grant.

The Company awarded under the Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan a total of 183,850 restricted stock units to employees and directors on January 4, 2016. The restricted stock units are subject to the same conditions as the restricted stock awards except the restricted stock units will not have voting rights and the common stock will not be issued until the vesting criteria are satisfied.

The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units:

Compensation expense includes expense related to restricted stock units of $285 and $362 for the three months   March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additional compensation expense related to restricted stock units will be $847, $743 and $370 for the remainder of 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

 

 

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Issued Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, deferral of the effective date, which amends ASU 2014-09.  As a result, the effective date is the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted.  The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value and options that currently exist for market value be eliminated. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact adoption of this guidance will have on determination or reporting of its financial results.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 seek to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes and require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early application permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company has not determined the full impact of implementation of this standard, but believes it will not be material to net income.  The Company believes that the main impact of adoption of the standard will be the reclassification of current deferred tax assets that will result in a reduction in deferred tax liabilities.   

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”) requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-05”). ASU 2016-05 provides guidance clarifying that novation of a derivative contract (i.e. a change in counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require designation of that hedge accounting relationship. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

17


 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-06 simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options by clarifying that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” (“ASU 2016-08”). ASU 2016-08 further clarifies principal and agent relationships within ASU 2014-09. Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is intended to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment awards. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” (“ASU 2016-10”).  The amendments in ASU 2016-10 are expected to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance on identifying promised goods or services in contracts with customers and to improve the operability and understandability of licensing implementation guidance related to the entity's intellectual property.  Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.  The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. Historical warranty experience is, however, reviewed by management. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the initial warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that

adjustments are necessary. Warranty reserves are reviewed to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may impact the potential warranty liability.

13. Credit Facilities and Debt

The Company together with its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries has a credit agreement (as amended, the“Credit Agreement”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) and another lender who is a participant under the credit agreement.  The Credit Agreement provides the Company with (a) a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to the U.S. Borrowers (“U.S. Revolver”), and (b) Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility to the Canadian Borrower (“Canadian Revolver”). These two credit facilities each mature on August 19, 2018.

The Company is also required to comply with certain financial covenants as defined in the Credit Agreement including maintaining (1) a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 0.65 to 1.00 at December 31, 2015, 1.00 to 1.00 at March 31, 2016 and 1.20 to 1.00 at June 30, 2016 and each quarter thereafter, (2) a Maximum Senior Secured First Lien North American Debt to Consolidated North American EBITDA Ratio of not more than 7.50 to 1.00 at December 31, 2015, 10.00 to 1.00 at March 31, 2016 and 2.75 at June 30, 2016 and each quarter thereafter, and (3) a Maximum Consolidated North American Total Debt to Consolidated North American EBITDA Ratio of not more than 11.50 to 1.00 at December 31, 2015, 15.00 to 1.00 at March 31, 2016 and 3.75 to 1.00 at June 30, 2016 and each quarter thereafter.

The indebtedness is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for the assets of the ASV and PM as well as the Company’s equity interest in these two Companies.  The facility contains customary limitations including, but not limited to, limitations on acquisitions, dividends, repurchase of the Company’s stock and capital expenditures.

U.S. Revolver

At March 31, 2016 the Company had drawn $27,789 under the $35,000 U.S. Revolver.

Note 14. Convertible Notes

Related Party

The convertible debenture, is subordinated, carries a 5% per annum coupon, and is convertible into Company common stock at a conversion price of $13.65 per share or a total of 549,451 shares, subject to customary adjustment provisions. The debenture has a December 19, 2020 maturity date.

From and after the third anniversary of the original issuance date, the Company may redeem the convertible debenture in full (but not in part) at any time that the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock equals at least 130% of the Conversion Price (as defined in the debenture) for at least 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days. Following an election by the holder to convert the debenture into common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the debenture, the Company has the discretion to deliver to the holder either (i) shares of common stock, (ii) a cash payment, or (iii) a combination of cash and stock.

25


In accounting for the issuance of the note, the Company separated the note into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Note as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

On December 19, 2014, the components of the note were as follows:

 

Liability component

 

$

6,607

 

Equity component (a component of paid in capital)

In accounting for the issuance of the note, the Company separated the note into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Note as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent per annum.

Debt issuance costs offset against this note totaled $440 at March 31, 2016.

 

 

Note 15. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, employment related issues, and workers’ compensation matters which have arisen in the normal course of operations. The Company has product liability insurance with self- insurance retention that range from $50 to $500. ASV product liability cases that existed on date of acquisition have a $4,000 self-retention limit.

The Company has been named as a defendant in several multi-defendant asbestos related product liability lawsuits. In certain instances, the Company is indemnified by a former owner of the product line in question. In the remaining cases the plaintiff has, to date, not been able to establish any exposure by the plaintiff to the Company’s products. The Company is uninsured with respect to these claims but believes that it will not incur any material liability with respect to these claims.

When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and possible to make a reasonable estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur. The Company established reserves for several ASV and PM lawsuits in conjunction with the accounting for these two acquisitions.

 

Additionally beginning on December 31, 2011, the Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policy has per claim deductible of $250 and aggregates of $1,000, $1,150, $1,325, $1,875 and $1,575 for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 policy years, respectively. The Company is fully insured for any amount on any individual claim that exceeds the deductible and for any additional amounts of all claims once the aggregate is reached. The Company currently has several workmen compensation claims related to injuries that occurred after December 31, 2011 and therefore are subject to a deductible. The Company does not believe that the contingencies associated with these worker compensation claims in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company.  

On May 5, 2011, Company entered into two separate settlement agreements with two plaintiffs. As of March  31, 2016, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs $1,520 without interest in 16 annual installments of $95 on or before May 22 of each year. On, February 3, 2016, the Company entered into another legal settlement with a single plaintiff for €640 ($729). The liability had been fully accrued and resulted in no gain or loss. The Company has paid €240 ($273). As of March 31, 2016 the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreement to pay the plaintiff €400 ($456) without interest in 20 monthly installments of €20 ($23). The Company has recorded a liability for the net present value of the liability. The difference between the net present value and the total payment will be charged to interest expense over payment period.

It is reasonably possible that the “Estimated Reserve for Product Liability Claims” may change within the next 12 months. A change in estimate could occur if a case is settled for more or less than anticipated, or if additional information becomes known to the Company.

18. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. The annual effective tax rate (excluding discrete items) is estimated to be approximately 26.6% for 2016. The effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

The 2016 effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily related to earnings in foreign jurisdictions which are taxed at lower rates, and the non-taxable portion of ASV’s earnings.

30


For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $517 which consisted primarily of anticipated federal, state and local, and foreign taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $31 which consisted primarily of anticipated federal, state and local, and foreign taxes.

The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 were approximately $936 and $219, which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits is a liability for the PM Group’s potential IRES and IRAP audit adjustments for the tax years 2009 – 2013. Depending upon the final resolution of the PM Group’s audit, the liability could be higher or lower than the amount recorded at March 31, 2016.

ASV Segment

A.S.V., LLC (“ASV”) manufactures a line of high quality compact track and skid steer loaders. The products are used in the site clearing, general construction, forestry, golf course maintenance and landscaping industries, with general construction being the largest market. The ASV products are distributed through the Terex distribution channels as well as through the Company and other independent dealers. The Company has a 51% ownership interest in ASV.

Discontinued Operations

 

Manitex Load King, LLC (“Load King”) manufactures specialized custom trailers and hauling systems typically used for transporting heavy equipment. Load King trailers serve niche markets in the commercial construction, railroad, military and equipment rental industries through a dealer network.  Load King was sold on December 28, 2015 and is presented as a discontinued operation

 

 

Economic Conditions

Beginning with recent resurgence of the U.S. on shore oil industry, a significant portion of the Company’s revenues has been attributed to the North American energy sector.  Crude oil prices fell sharply during the fourth quarter of 2014 and remained in the fifty dollar per barrel range through June 2015. After that point oil prices began to again erode significantly decreasing to under $30 dollar a barrel. As result, the number of oil rigs in service has dropped from approximately from 1,600 in January 2015 to 500 at the end of 2015.

As a result of this decrease in rig count, the oil and gas industry further curtailed purchasing that began in 2014 and began selling excess equipment into the general construction market, which further depressed the demand for boom trucks.  We have recently observed a slight moderating of the sell-off of excess equipment by the energy sector and are hopeful that the selloff of excess equipment by the energy sector will be largely completed by the end of 2016.  The aforementioned factors resulted in a significant decrease in revenues during 2015 and during the first quarter of 2016 from the sale of boom trucks, mobile tanks and used equipment.  

 

 

33


The market for a number of the Company’s products, including the PM knuckle boom cranes, ASV compact track loader skid steer loaders, military forklifts and port handling equipment have not been significantly affected by the decrease in oil prices. The markets for these products have either been stable or growing. In particular the market for knuckle boom cranes, including the North American market, is continuing to grow. PM currently has a very small share of the market for knuckle boom cranes in North America. The Company has started to manufacture knuckle boom cranes in the United State and is marketing them through the Company’s current distribution channels. The Company currently has a strong presence in North America for its boom trucks. The Company believes that it can significantly increase the Company’s share for knuckle boom cranes in North American. The Company believes this is an immediate opportunity that will continue to grow over time.

At the end of the quarter, the Company backlog was $79 million, including orders from ASV and PM that now comprise 39% of the total backlog at March 31, 2016.

 

Factors Affecting Revenues and Gross Profit

The Company derives most of its revenue from purchase orders from dealers and distributors. The demand for the Company’s products depends upon the general economic conditions of the markets in which the Company competes. The Company’s sales depend in part upon its customers’ replacement or repair cycles. Adverse economic conditions, including a decrease in commodity prices, may cause customers to forego or postpone new purchases in favor of repairing existing machinery. Additionally, our Manitex Liftking and ASV subsidiaries are impacted by residential housing starts.  Liftking is further impacted by the timing of orders received for military.  CVS revenues are impacted in part by the timing of contract awards related to major port projects.

Gross profit varies from period to period. Factors that affect gross profit include product mix, production levels and cost of raw materials. Margins tend to increase when production is skewed towards larger capacity cranes, special mission oriented vehicles, specialized carriers and heavy material transporters.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Net income from continuing operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015  

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company had a net income from continuing operations of $1.3  million and $0.1 million, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the net income from continuing operations of $1.3 million consisted of revenue of $102.4 million, cost of sales of $83.9 million, research and development costs of $1.5 million, SG&A expenses of $13.6 million, interest expense of $3.1 million, foreign currency loss of $0.5 million, other income of $2.1 million and income tax expense of $0.5 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the net income from continuing operations of $0.1 million consisted of revenue of $101.0 million, cost of sales of $83.0 million, research and development costs of $1.1 million, SG&A expenses of $14.9 million, interest expense of $2.8 million, foreign currency transaction gain of $0.9 million and income tax expense of $ 0.0  million.

Net revenues and gross profit —For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net revenues and gross profit were $102.4 million and $18.4 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 18.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net revenues and gross profit were $101.0 million and $18.0 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 17.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Net revenues increased $1.4 million or 1.4% to $102.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $101.0 million for the comparable period in 2015. Revenues increased $3.5 million or 5.3% in the Lifting segment, $2.1 million or 59.1% in the Equipment Distribution segment and decreased $3.6 million or 11.2% in the ASV segment. In the Lifting segment, revenues for the three months ended March 31 2016 included a complete quarter of revenues for PM Group, compared to seventy five days from the date of acquisition in the three months ended March 31, 2015, which accounted for $3.3 million, or the majority, of the increase. Sales of straight mast and industrial cranes were down year over year by approximately $3.6 million with sale skewed to lower capacity units with this being offset by increased sales of military material handling equipment. In the ASV segment, the reduced revenues resulted from a $5.3 million reduction in sales of undercarriages compared to the prior year period due to the timing of customer production in the prior year. In the Equipment Distribution segment, the sales increase was principally related to the sale of equipment at no margin for the continued development of a national rental fleet. Excluding these sales, revenues from sales of new retail and remarketed equipment continue to be adversely affected by the soft market demand for crane equipment.

34


Our gross profit percent increased 0.2% to 18.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 17.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The change is attributed to changes in product mix offset by the impact of decreased volume for crane products.

Research and development —Research and development was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2015.. Expenditure was relatively consistent with the prior year period with the exception of ASV and PM, both of which increased expenditures related to product development projects expected to be launched later in the year.

Selling, general and administrative expense —Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $13.6 million compared to $14.9 million for the comparable period in 2015, a decrease of $1.3 million. Included in the prior year period were costs related to acquisition transactions, restructuring and related expense totaling $2.2 million, and  PM S,G&A expenses were up $0.8 million as their first quarter last year had only 75 days.   Other changes in S,G&A resulted in net $0.1 million increase. 

Operating income —For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company had operating income of $3.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Operating income increased as there was an increase in gross profit and decrease in operating expense.

Interest expense —Interest expense was $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $2.8 million for the comparable period in 2015, an increase of $0.3. The increase in interest expense is attributed to higher interest on revolving credit lines and some term debt, and increased borrowing on our revolving credit and working capital facilities.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses —For the three months ended March 31, 2016, foreign currency losses were $0.5 million compared to gains of $0.9 for the comparable period in 2015. As stated in the past, the Company attempts to purchase forward currency exchange contracts such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency will be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds.  A substantial portion of the gains and loss relate changes in the Argentinian peso.  The Company has not been able to identify a strategy to effectively hedge the currency risks related to the Argentinian peso.  The Company records at the balance sheet date the forward currency exchange contracts at their market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings as a currency gain or loss.

Other income— On March 4, 2016, CVS and Terex Operations Italy S.R.L. (“TOI”) entered into an agreement whereby TOI acquired certain inventories and intellectual property related to CVS’ terminal tractor line.  The transaction totaled €2,839 ($3,119) inclusive of VAT taxes and resulted in a gain of €1,987 ($2,212), which is included in other income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations at March 31, 2016.  

Income tax — For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company recorded an income tax expense of $0.5 and $0.0 million, respectively. The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. The annual effective tax rate (excluding discrete items) for 2016 is estimated to be approximately 26.6%, while the actual annual effective tax rate for 2015 was 21.6%.

The 2016 effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily related to earnings in foreign jurisdictions which are taxed at lower rates, and the non-taxable portion of A.S.V.’s earnings.

Net income —Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.3 million. This compares with a net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $0.1 million. The change in net income is explained above.

Net revenues           

Net revenues increased $3.5 million to $70.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $66.7 million for the comparable period in 2015.  PM Group sales were up reflecting a full quarter of sales in 2016 compared to 75 days in the first quarter of 2015, but also showed sales growth in North America and both Western and Eastern Europe.   PM product mix was relatively stable year over year with the exception of stronger demand in 2016 for aerial platforms. Sales of Manitex straight mast and industrial cranes were down year over year by approximately $3.6 million, with a sales mix skewed to lower capacity units. Sales of military material handling equipment increased year over year with shipments under our long term contracts ramping up in the quarter.

Operating income and operating margins

Operating income of $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was equivalent to 6.0% of net revenues compared to an operating income of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 4.1% of net revenues.  The three months ended March 31, 2015 included $1.5 million of acquisition transaction and restructuring related expenses, without which operating income year over year would be flat and operating margin would be a year over year decrease of 0.4%. Gross profit margin was adversely affected by lower volumes  at certain facilities affecting absorption,  higher sales of lower capacity straight mast cranes and chassis which was partially offset by stronger margins on military sales.  Lower operating expenses resulting from cost containment actions partially offset the lower margin on sales.

Net revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $28.5 million compared to $32.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Net revenues of $28.5 million were $3.6 million lower than the first quarter of 2015, with the shortfall in revenues resulting from a $5.3 million decrease in undercarriages sales partial offset by  a 9% increase in sales of machines. Undercarriage sales in the first quarter of 2015 were elevated due to the pull ahead of orders by the customer to accommodate their production schedules. Sales of machines improved 9% year over year and ASV branded product continued to expand on a quarter over quarter basis as the company continued to sign new ASV branded distribution dealers.

   

Operating income and operating margins

Operating income of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was equivalent to 3.6% of net revenues compared to $2.0 million or 6.2% of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Gross profit margins for the three months ended March 31 2016 were negatively impacted by tighter pricing in certain machine categories which was partially offset the improved mix of track loaders compared to skid steers.  The decrease in operating profit is entirely due to a decrease in  gross profit, due to a decrease in revenue and the gross profit percent, as operating expenses decreased $0.4 million.

margin to expand the division’s rental fleet operations. The lower level of retail sales, reflecting the continuing soft demand for equipment, was partially offset by improved parts, service and other revenues that benefited from improving construction activity.  Sales of remarketed product were lower in part due to lower demand from Canada due to the adverse currency impact from the strong US dollar. Revenues for the segment during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 included $0.5 million of commission in connection with services that were provided for the Company’s sale of its terminal tractor product line to a related party.         

Operating income and operating margins

 

The Equipment Distribution segment had an operating income of $0.2 million and $0.03 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Excluding the benefit from the commission sale, operating margin would have been a loss of $0.4 million, the result of decrease in gross profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $3.9 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 2015. In addition, the Company has U.S. and Canadian revolving credit facilities, with maturity dates of August 19, 2018 and our Canadian Subsidiary has a specialized export facility. Additionally, ASV has a revolving credit facility, which is for its sole use. At March 31, 2016 the Company had approximately $8 million available in North America to borrow under its revolving credit facilities. ASV has a revolving credit facility with approximately $4.2 million of availability.

At March 31, 2016, CVS had established demand credit facilities with twelve Italian banks. Under the facilities, CVS can borrow up to €0.4 million ($0.4 million) on an unsecured basis and additional amounts as advances against orders, invoices and letter of credit with a total maximum facilities (including the unsecured portion) of €18 million ($20.5 million). The maximum amount outstanding is limited to 80% of the assigned accounts receivable if there is an invoice issued or 50% if there is an order/contract. The banks will evaluate each request to borrow individually and determine the allowable advance percentage and interest rate. In making its determination the bank considers the customer’s credit and location of the customer. At March 31, 2016, the banks had advanced CVS €8.2 million ($9.3 million) and had issued performance bonds which total €1.5 million ($1.7 million), which also count against the maximum that can be borrowed under these facilities.

At March 31, 2016, the PM Group had established working capital facilities with seven Italian and seven South American banks. Under these facilities, the PM Group can borrow $28.3 million against orders, invoices and letters of credit. At March 31, 2016, the PM Group had received advances of $21.3 million. Future advances are dependent on having available collateral.

Future availability under credit facilities

As stated above, the Company had cash of $3.9 million and approximately $8 million available to borrow under its credit facilities at March 31, 2016. ASV has a revolving credit facility with approximately $4.2 million of availability which is for its sole use.

CVS and the PM Group have their own working capital facilities. As stated above, any future advances against the Italian facilities are dependent on having available collateral. Additionally, the Company is permitted to make limited advances to the Italian operations if needed under the Company’s credit facilities.

39


The Company needs cash to fund normal working capital needs and to make scheduled debt payments as shown in the above table. Both the U.S. and Canadian credit facilities are asset based. The maximum the Company may borrow under either facility is the lower of the credit line or the available collateral, as defined in the credit agreements. Collateral under the agreements consists of stated percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory.

The collateral formula for the U.S. credit facility limits borrowing against inventory to 50% of eligible inventory (work in process inventory is excluded) and caps total borrowing against our inventory at $26.5 million in the U.S. and CDN $10.5 million in Canada. If our revenues were to increase significantly in the future, the provision limiting borrowing against inventory to 50% of eligible inventory may result in additional cash constraints. Our banks have increased these caps in the past to support our growth. There is, however, no assurance that the banks will do this in the future.

The Company expects cash flows from operations and existing availability under the current revolving credit facilities, nevertheless, will be adequate to fund future operations. If in the future, we were to determine that additional funding is necessary, we believe that it would be available.

We will likely need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings to support our growth strategy, which may include additional acquisitions. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms.

2016

Operating activities consumed $20.6 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2016 comprised of net income of $1.3 million, non-cash items that totaled $1.8 million and changes in assets and liabilities, which consumed $23.7 million. The principal non-cash items are depreciation and amortization of $3.1 million, increases in allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory reserves that together total $0.6 million, share based compensation of $0.3 million and amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.3 million offset by the gain of $2.2 million on disposal of intellectual property. This gain on disposal of intellectual property is included in investing section of the cash flow statement.  Increases and decreases in other non-cash items offset.

The change in assets and liabilities consumed $23.7 million.  The changes in assets and liabilities had the following impact on cash flows: accounts receivable consumed $23.1 million, inventory consumed $2.9 million, prepaid expenses generated $0.7 million,  accounts payable generated $1.8 million, accrued expenses consumed $0.7 million, other current liabilities generated $0.6 million, and other long-term liabilities consumed $0.1 million.  The increase in accounts receivable is the result of an increase in sales and the fact that a larger portion of first quarter 2016 sales were made towards the end of the quarter.  The increase in inventory is attributed increases inventory at Italian subsidiaries offset by a net decrease in inventory at our other location.  Inventory increased at CVS as they have a larger order that has a longer lead time.  The increase in PM inventory is attributable to higher sales volumes. The decrease in prepaid expenses is the result of receiving a $1.4 million tax refund during the first quarter 2016 partially offset by increase in prepaid insurance balance, due to the annual insurance renewal. The increase in accounts payable is due to timing of vendor payments and raw material purchases.  

Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 generated $4.3 million of cash.  The Company received $2.2 million when the terminal tractor product line was sold and ASV received a $2.5 million capital contributed from the noncontrolling member.   The Company used $0.4 million of cash to purchase machinery and equipment.

Financing activities generated $11.4 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  Cash was generated by increases in borrowing under the revolving credit facilities of $5.3 million, and the working capital facilities of $9.3 million and by $4.1 million from a sales and lease back transaction.  Additionally, the Company borrowed $0.7 million to finance a portion of 2016 insurance premiums.  Other financing activities consumed $8.0 million which is primarily related to debt repayments (including capital lease obligations).

2015

Operating activities consumed $15.4 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2015 comprised of net income of $0.1 million, non-cash items that totaled $3.9 million and changes in assets and liabilities, which consumed $19.4.

The principal non-cash items are depreciation and amortization of $2.8 million, shared based compensation of $0.6 million, amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.3 million, and $0.2 amortization of debt discounts. The change in assets and liabilities which consumed $19.4 million in cash is principally attributed to paying taxes on the conversion of ASV to an LLC for which a payable of $16.5 million had been established at December 31, 2014. Changes in other assets and liabilities consumed an additional $2.9 million, which is principally related to increase in inventory of $3.3 million and an increase in prepaid expenses of $3.2 million offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.2 million and an increase in accounts payable of $2.7 million. The increase in

40


inventory is attributed to having PM knuckle boom cranes and crane kits in the United States inventory. The crane kits will be mounted on chassis in the United States. These actions have been taken to assist the Company in its efforts to increase PM market penetration in the United States. The increase in prepaid expenses is due to an increase in prepaid insurance (new insurance policy year) and an increase in prepaid taxes in Europe. The increase in accounts payable is due to s and timing of payments to our vendors.

Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 consumed $19.5 million of cash which primarily represents an acquisition of a business and to a lesser extent investment in equipment.

Financing activities provided $37.2 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in borrowings is principally attributed to an increase in borrowing to purchase the PM Group ($15.0 million convertible debt and $14.0 million term loan), an increase under the ASV revolving credit facility (paid taxes on conversion to an LLC) offset by a net decrease in borrowings under the Company’s North American revolving credit facilities & Italian working capital facilities along with term debt and capital leases payments.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

Recently Issued Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, deferral of the effective date, which amends ASU 2014-09.  As a result, the effective date is the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted.  The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value and options that currently exist for market value be eliminated. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact adoption of this guidance will have on determination or reporting of its financial results.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 seek to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes and require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early application permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company has not determined the full impact of implementation of this standard, but believes it will not be material to net income.  The Company believes that the main impact of adoption of the standard will be the reclassification of current deferred tax assets that will result in a reduction in deferred tax liabilities.   

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when

41


measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”) requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-05”). ASU 2016-05 provides guidance clarifying that novation of a derivative contract (i.e. a change in counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require designation of that hedge accounting relationship. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-06 simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options by clarifying that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” (“ASU 2016-08”). ASU 2016-08 further clarifies principal and agent relationships within ASU 2014-09. Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is intended to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment awards. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” (“ASU 2016-10”).  The amendments in ASU 2016-10 are expected to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance on identifying promised goods or services in contracts with customers and to improve the operability and understandability of licensing implementation guidance related to the entity's intellectual property.  Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.  The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s market risk disclosures have not materially changed since the 2015 Form 10-K was filed. The Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are incorporated by reference from Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2016.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of March 31, 2016 to provide reasonable assurance that (1) information required to be disclosed by us in the 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 (2) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1—Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability and workers’ compensation matters which have arisen in the normal course of operations. The Company has product liability insurance with self-insurance retention that ranges from $50 thousand to $0.5 million. ASV product liability cases that existed on date of acquisition have a $4 million self-retention limit. The Company has a $250 thousand per claim deductible on worker compensation claims and aggregates of $1.2 million, $1.3 million, $1.9 million, and $1.6 million for 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 policy years, respectively. Certain cases are at a preliminary stage and it is not possible to estimate the amount or timing of any cost to the Company. However, the Company does not believe that these contingencies, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company. Reserves have been established for several liability cases related to the ASV and PM acquisitions. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and possible to make a reasonable estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or

43


the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

Item 1A—Risk Factors

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Item 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The Company’s credit agreement with Comerica Bank directly restricts the Company’s ability to declare or pay dividends without Comerica’s consent. In addition, pursuant to the Company’s credit agreement with Comerica and other lenders, the Company must maintain as specified in the agreements certain fixed coverage ratios and debt to EBITDA ratios.
