Certain information in this Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These statements relate to, among other things, the Company’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, future strategies, future events or future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. We have based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and projections about future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. Such statements are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements.

Risk Factors”:

•

certain provisions of the Michigan Business Corporation Act and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, Amended and Restated Bylaws, and the Company’s Preferred Stock Purchase Rights may discourage or prevent a change in control of the Company;

a substantial portion of our revenues are attributed to limited number of customers which may decrease or cease purchasing any time;

If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from what we projected. We do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to update this forward-looking information, except as required under applicable law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Loss, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods. Interim results may not be indicative of results to be realized for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

The Company is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions and operates as a single reportable segment with five operating segments. Operating activities are conducted through the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: Manitex, Inc. (“Manitex”), Badger Equipment Company (“Badger”), PM Oil and Steel S.p.A., formerly known as PM Group S.p.A, and its subsidiaries (“PM” or “PM Group”), Manitex Valla S.r.l. (“Valla”), Manitex Sabre, Inc. (“Sabre”), Crane and Machinery, Inc. (“C&M”), and Crane and Machinery Leasing, Inc. (“C&M Leasing”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Manitex International, Inc. and subsidiaries in which it has a greater than 50% voting interest (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts, profits and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Transactions for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020		2019
Interest received in cash	$	60	$	69
Interest paid in cash		1,693		1,528
Income tax payments (refunds) in cash		96		3

Equity Investment

Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company owned a 51% interest in ASV Holdings, Inc., which was formerly known as A.S.V., LLC (“ASV”). On May 11, 2017, in anticipation of an initial public offering, ASV converted from an LLC to a C-Corporation and the Company’s 51% interest was converted to 4,080,000 common shares of ASV. On May 17, 2017, in connection with its initial public offering, ASV sold 1,800,000 of its own shares and the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of ASV common stock and reduced its investment in ASV to a 21.2% interest. ASV was deconsolidated and was recorded as an equity investment starting with the quarter ended June 30, 2017. In February 2018, the Company sold an additional 1,000,000 shares of ASV that it held which reduced the Company’s investment in ASV to approximately 11.0%. In September 2019, the Company received cash merger consideration for its remaining 1,080,000 shares of ASV and no longer has an investment in ASV.

Discontinued Operations

Sabre is located in Knox, Indiana and manufactures a comprehensive line of specialized mobile tanks for liquid and solid storage and containment solutions with capacities from 8,000 to 21,000 gallons. Its mobile tanks are sold to specialized independent tank rental companies and through the Company’s existing dealer network. The tanks are used in a variety of end markets such as petrochemical, waste management and oil and gas drilling.

On March 4, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the exploration by management of various strategic alternatives for Sabre, including the possibility of a transaction involving the sale of all or part of Sabre’s business and assets, to determine whether such a transaction would provide value to shareholders. The criterion of asset held for sale has been met and Sabre will be reported as discontinued operations. The Company at this time cannot be sure that any such transaction will occur, and if so, what impact such a transaction would have on the Company’s financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates all entities that we control by ownership of a majority voting interest. Additionally, there are situations in which consolidation is required even though the usual condition of consolidation (ownership of a majority voting interest) does not apply. Generally, this occurs when an entity holds an interest in another business enterprise that was achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests, which results in a disproportionate relationship between such entity's voting interests in, and its exposure to the economic risks and potential rewards of, the other business enterprise. This disproportionate relationship results in what is known as a variable interest, and the entity in which we have this interest is referred to as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). An enterprise must consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company eliminates from the Company’s financial results all significant intercompany transactions.

Restricted Cash

Certain of the Company’s lending arrangements require the Company to post collateral or maintain minimum cash balances in escrow. These cash amounts are reported as current assets on the balance sheets based on when the cash will be contractually released. Total restricted cash was $219 and $217 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

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 is exposed to credit losses through the sale of products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of customer trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers’ financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Company considered the current and future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted at this time. 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 $663 and $686 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

For the three months ended, March 31, 2020, one customer, Rush Truck Center, accounted for approximately 10.0% of the Company’s revenue. For the three months ended, March 31, 2019, no customer accounted for more than 10.0% of the Company’s revenue.

Assets and Liabilities Classified as Held for Sale

The Company classifies assets (or disposal groups comprised of assets and liabilities) as held for sale when they are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Upon reclassification, we cease to depreciate or amortize non-current assets classified as held for sale.

A discontinued operation is a component of our business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation that has been disposed of or is held for sale and a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of comprehensive income (loss) is revised as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period. We have elected to not revise the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to split operating, investing and financing activities between

continuing and discontinued operations, but instead provide certain required cash flow information. As part of the discontinued operations classification, we review the allocation of corporate expenses, interest expense and entity-wide goodwill and intangible assets. In addition, income taxes are calculated on a stand-alone basis for both continuing and discontinued operations.

See Note 20 to the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for a more detailed discussion of assets held for sale and discontinued operations.

Guarantees

The Company has issued partial residual guarantees to financial institutions related to a customer financing of equipment purchased by the customer. The Company must assess the probability of losses if the fair market value is less than the guaranteed residual value.

The Company has issued partially residual guarantees that have maximum exposure of approximately $1.6 million. The Company, however, does not have any reason to believe that any exposure from such a guarantee is either probable or estimable at this time, as such, no liability has been recorded. The Company’s ability to recover any losses incurred under the guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in used equipment markets at the time of loss.

The Company records a liability for the estimated fair value of guarantees issued pursuant to ASC 460. The Company recognizes a loss under a guarantee when its obligation to make payment under the guarantee is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. A loss would be recognized if the Company’s payment obligation under the guarantee exceeds the value it can expect to recover to offset such payment, primarily through the sale of the equipment underlying the guarantee.

Inventory, net

Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or net realizable value. 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 division 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.

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 hedged instrument affects earnings (date of sale). The Company’s interest rate swap contracts are held by the PM Group and are intended to manage the exposure to interest rate risk related to certain term loans that PM Group has 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.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company evaluates whether it is more-likely-than-not (more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating losses can be utilized. We assess all positive and negative evidence when determining the amount of the net deferred tax assets that are more-likely-than-not to be realized. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, prior earnings history, schedule reversal of taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. Significant weight is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable. In circumstances where there is sufficient negative evidence indicating that the deferred tax assets are not more likely than not realizable, we establish a valuation allowance.

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 consists of a foreign currency translation adjustment, which is the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiaries.

Accounting for Equity Investments

Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company accounted for its 21.2% investment in ASV under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the net income (loss) of ASV was recognized as income (loss) in the Company’s statement of operations and added to the investment account, and dividends received from ASV were treated as a reduction of the investment account. The Company reported ASV’s earnings on a one quarter lag as there was no assurance ASV would report earnings in time to be included in the Company’s financial statements for any given reporting period.

Between February 26 and 28, 2018, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of ASV stock, reducing the Company’s investment in ASV to approximately 11.0%. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company:

•

Recognized its proportional share of ASV loss for the three months ended December 31, 2017,

•

Recorded a loss on the sale of shares,

•

Ceased accounting for ASV as an equity investment, and

•

Valued its remaining investment in ASV at its current market value.

In September 2019, the Company received cash merger consideration for its remaining 1,080,000 shares of ASV and no longer has an investment in ASV. See Notes 8 and 19.

Accounting for Marketable Equity Securities

Marketable equity securities are valued at fair market value based on the closing price of the stock on the date of the balance sheet. Gains and loss related fair value adjustments related to marketable equity securities are recorded into income each reporting period. In September 2019, the Company received cash merger consideration for its remaining 1,080,000 shares of ASV and no longer has marketable equity securities.

Shipping and Handling

The Company records the amount of shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.

Adoption of Highly Inflationary Accounting in Argentina

GAAP guidance requires the use of highly inflationary accounting for countries whose cumulative three-year inflation exceeds 100 percent. In the second quarter of 2018, published inflation indices indicated that the three-year cumulative inflation in Argentina exceeded 100 percent, and as of July 1, 2018, we elected to adopt highly inflationary accounting for our subsidiary in Argentina (“PM Argentina”). Under highly inflationary accounting, PM Argentina’s functional currency became the Euro (its parent company’s reporting currency), and its income statement and balance sheet have been measured in Euros using both current and historical rates of exchange. The effect of changes in exchange rates on peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities has been reflected in earnings in other (income) and expense, net and was not material. As of March 31 2020, PM Argentina had a small net peso monetary position. Net sales of PM Argentina were less than 5 percent of our consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Recently Issued Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes Topic 740-Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application of Topic 740. The effective date for ASU 2019-12 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of Topic 740 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2019-04”). ASU 2019-04 provides narrow scope amendments for Topics 326, 815 and 825. The effective date was the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our operating results. There was no adjustment to retained earnings as a result of the adoption of this guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The guidance in this standard replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. Subsequently, the FASB issued the following standards related to ASU 2016-13: ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief,” and ASU 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which provided additional guidance and clarity to ASU 2016-13 (collectively, the “Credit Loss Standard”). The effective date for these standards was the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and early adoption was permitted. The Credit Loss Standard was applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our operating results.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-2”). ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from H.R. 1 “An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018” (commonly known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Jobs Act”)). The Company has adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our operating results.

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.

3. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our equipment, parts or installation services (typically completed within one day), which occurs at a point in time. Equipment can be redirected during the manufacturing phase such that over time revenue recognition is not appropriate. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Our contracts are non-cancellable and returns are only allowed in limited instances through Crane & Machinery, Inc. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold and do not constitute a separate performance obligation.

For instances where equipment and installation services are sold together, the Company accounts for the equipment and installation services separately. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between the equipment and installation services based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the equipment.

In some instances, the Company fulfills its obligations and bills the customer for the work performed but does not ship the goods until a later date. These arrangements are considered bill-and-hold transactions. In order to recognize revenue on the bill-and-hold transactions, the Company ensures the customer has requested the arrangement, the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer, the product is ready for shipment to the customer in its current form, and the Company does not have the ability to direct the product to a different customer. A portion of the transaction price is not allocated to the custodial services due to the immaterial value assigned to that performance obligation.

Payment terms offered to customers are defined in contracts and purchase orders and do not include a significant financing component. At times, the Company may offer discounts which are considered variable consideration however, the Company applies the constraint guidance when determining the transaction price to be allocated to the performance obligations.

The Company generates revenue through its principal subsidiaries:

Manitex, Inc. (“Manitex”) markets a comprehensive line of boom trucks, truck cranes and sign cranes. Manitex’s boom trucks and crane products are primarily used for industrial projects, energy exploration and infrastructure development, including, roads, bridges and commercial construction.

Badger Equipment Company (“Badger”) is a manufacturer of specialized rough terrain cranes and material handling products. Badger primarily serves the needs of the construction, municipality and railroad industries.

PM Oil and Steel S.p.A (“PM” or “PM Group”), formerly known as PM Group S.p.A., is a leading Italian manufacturer of truck mounted hydraulic knuckle boom cranes with a 50-year history of technology and innovation, and a product range spanning more than 50 models.

Manitex Valla S.r.l.’s (“Valla”) product line of industrial cranes is a full range of precision pick and carry cranes using electric, diesel, and hybrid power options. Its cranes offer wheeled or tracked, and fixed or swing boom configurations, with special applications designed specifically to meet the needs of its customers. These products are sold internationally through dealers and into the rental distribution channel.

Manitex Sabre, Inc. (“Sabre”) manufactures a comprehensive line of specialized mobile tanks for liquid and solid storage and containment solutions with capacities from 8,000 to 21,000 gallons. Its mobile tanks are sold to specialized independent tank rental companies and through the Company’s existing dealer network. The tanks are used in a variety of end markets such as petrochemical, waste management and oil and gas drilling. This entity is included in discontinued operations.

Crane and Machinery, Inc. (“C&M”) is a distributor of the Company’s products as well as Terex Corporation’s (“Terex”) rough terrain and truck cranes. Crane and Machinery Leasing, Inc.’s (“C&M Leasing”) rents equipment manufactured by the Company as well as a limited amount of equipment manufactured by third parties. Although C&M is a distributor of Terex rough terrain and truck cranes, C&M’s primary business is the distribution of products manufactured by the Company.

For each of the subsidiaries, various products may be sold separately or together with installation services. Further, equipment sales come with a standard warranty that is not sold separately. Additionally, each of the subsidiaries sells parts to its customers.

The following table disaggregates our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Contract Balances

Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Customer Deposits

At times, the Company may require an upfront deposit related to its contracts. In instances where an upfront deposit has been received by the Company and the revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met, the Company records a contract liability in the form of a customer deposit, which is classified as a short-term liability on the balance sheet. That customer deposit is revenue that is deferred until the revenue recognition criteria have been met, at which time, the customer deposit is recognized into revenue.

The following table summarizes changes in customer deposits are as follows:

	March 31, 2020			December 31, 2019
Customer deposits	$	1,493		$	1,835
Revenue recognized from customer deposits		(1,388	)		(5,847	)
Additional customer deposits received where revenue has not yet been recognized		1,146			5,658
Effect of change in exchange rates		(42	)		(153	)

4. Financial Instruments—Marketable Securities, Forward Currency Exchange Contracts and Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820-10, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is summary of items that the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Fair Value at March 31, 2020
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Forward currency exchange contracts	$	—	$	288	$	—	$	288

Effect of change in exchange rates		(6	)		(3	)		(9	)
Balance at March 31, 2020	$	308		$	202		$	510

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).

Fair value of the forward currency contracts is 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. Derivative 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 Euro, Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar.

Forward Currency Contracts

When the Company receives a significant order in a currency other than the operating unit’s functional currency, management may evaluate different options that are available to mitigate future currency exchange risks. As of March 31, 2020, 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.

In addition, the Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts in relationship such that the exchange gains and losses on certain assets and liabilities denominated in a currency 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. PM Group has an intercompany receivable denominated in Euros from its Chilean subsidiary. At March 31, 2020, the Company had entered into two forward currency exchange contracts that mature on May 29, 2020. Under the first contract the Company was obligated to sell 2,900,000 Chilean pesos for 3,323 euros. The Company had a second contract which obligated the Company to sell 120,000 Chilean pesos for $151. The purpose of the forward contracts 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.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

A contract was signed by PM Group, for an original notional amount of € 482 (€ .01 at March 31, 2020), maturing on October 1, 2020 with interest paid monthly. PM pays interest at a rate of 3.90% and receives from the counterparties interest at the “Euribor” rate for the period in question if greater than 0.90%.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had the following forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps:

The following table provides the location and fair value amounts of derivative instruments that are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Total derivatives NOT designated as a hedge instrument

		Fair Value
	Balance Sheet Location	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Asset Derivatives
Foreign currency exchange contract	Prepaid expense and other	$	288	$	—

Liabilities Derivatives
Foreign currency exchange contract	Accrued expense	$	—	$	99

The following tables provide the effect of derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

		Gain (loss)
	Location of gain or (loss) recognized in the Statement of Operations	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2020		2019
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedge Instruments
Forward currency contracts	Foreign currency transaction gains (losses)	$	388	$	(45	)
Interest rate swap contracts	Interest expense		—		1
		$	388	$	(44	)

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. Inventory, net

The components of inventory are as follows:

	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Raw materials and purchased parts, net	$	42,908	$	35,406
Work in process, net		4,691		5,547
Finished goods, net		16,761		16,865
Inventory, net	$	64,360	$	57,818

The Company has established reserves for obsolete and excess inventory of $8,231 and $7,961 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Intangible assets and accumulated amortization by category as of March 31, 2020 is as follows:

	Weighted Average	Gross					Net
	Amortization	Carrying		Accumulated			Carrying
	Period (in years)	Amount		Amortization			Amount
Patented and unpatented technology	7	$	17,820	$	(13,621	)	$	4,199
Customer relationships	6		18,402		(11,183	)		7,219
Trade names and trademarks	12		4,829		(2,530	)		2,299
Indefinite lived trade names			2,400					2,400
Total intangible assets, net							$	16,117

Intangible assets and accumulated amortization by category as of December 31, 2019 is as follows:

	Weighted Average	Gross					Net
	Amortization	Carrying		Accumulated			Carrying
	Period (in years)	Amount		Amortization			Amount
Patented and unpatented technology	7	$	17,963	$	(13,499	)	$	4,464
Customer relationships	6		18,602		(10,968	)		7,634
Trade names and trademarks	12		4,829		(2,481	)		2,348
Indefinite lived trade names			2,586					2,586
Total intangible assets, net							$	17,032

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $540 and $575 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense for the next five years and subsequent is as follows:

	Amount
2021	$	2,073
2022		2,073
2023		2,073
2024		2,063
2025		2,013
And subsequent		3,422
Total intangibles currently to be amortized		13,717
Intangibles with indefinite lives not amortized		2,400
Total intangible assets	$	16,117

Changes in goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:

	Total
Balance January 1, 2020	$	32,635
Effect of change in exchange rates		(447	)
Goodwill impairment		(6,567	)
Balance March 31, 2020	$	25,621

The Company performed an impairment assessment as of March 31, 2020, prior to its October 1, 2020 annual measurement date. The Company’s policy is to assess the realizability of its intangible assets, and to evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value. Future cash flow projections include assumptions for future sales levels, the impact of cost reduction programs, and the level of working capital needed to support each business. The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset. As of the valuation date, the global economy and the financial markets were experiencing severe adverse effects from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. While uncertainty remains as to its ultimate impact, the COVID-19 pandemic is causing tremendous hardships globally and adversely impacting global and financial market conditions. At March 31, 2020, the Company considered a decrease in its market capitalization to be a triggering event and as such a valuation analysis was performed and goodwill and intangible assets were determined to be impaired, and as such non-cash impairment charges were made to selling, general and administrative expense and shown separately on the income statement as impairment of intangibles. In order to more closely align the estimated fair values of our reporting units to our overall market capitalization, an increase to our risk premium utilized within our discounted cash flows analysis was applied, resulting in an impairment charge to goodwill and intangible assets at our PM reporting unit in the amount of $6,585 and $137, respectively.

8. Equity Method Investments

The Company accounted for its investment in ASV during the period (May 17, 2017 to February 26, 2018) that it owned 21.2% of ASV as an equity investment. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the net income (loss) of ASV was recognized as income (loss) in the Company’s statement of operations added to the investment, and dividends received from ASV were treated as a reduction of the investment account. The Company reported ASV’s earnings on a one quarter lag as there was no assurance that ASV would report earnings in time to be included in the Company’s financial statements for any given reporting period. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded its proportional share of ASV’s loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and recorded amortization related temporary differences.

Between February 26 and 28, 2018, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of ASV stock, reducing the Company’s investment to approximately 11.0%, and ceased accounting for its investment in ASV as an equity method investment. In September 2019, the Company received cash merger consideration for its remaining 1,080,000 shares of ASV and no longer has an investment in ASV. See Note 19.

11. Credit Facilities and Debt

U.S. Credit Facilities

At March 31, 2020, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries have a Loan and Security Agreement, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”), with CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”), formerly known as “The Private Bank and Trust Company”. The Loan Agreement provides a revolving credit facility extending the maturity date from July 20, 2021 to July 20, 2023. The aggregate amount of the facility increased from $25,000 to $30,000.

The maximum borrowing available to the Company under the Loan Agreement is limited to: (1) up to 85% of eligible receivables; plus (2) up to 50% of eligible inventory valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value subject to a $20,000 limit; plus (3) up to 80% of eligible used equipment, as defined, valued at the lower of cost or market subject to a $2,000 limit; plus (4) 85% of Eligible Bill and Hold Receivables (as defined in the Loan Agreement) subject to a $10,000 limit; plus (5) 50% of eligible Mexico receivables (as defined in the Loan Agreement) valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value subject to a $400 limit. At March 31, 2020, the maximum the Company could borrow based on available collateral was $23,600. At March 31, 2020, the Company had $6,000 borrowings under this facility. The Company had no borrowings at December 31, 2019. The indebtedness under the Loan Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for certain assets of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Loan Agreement provides that the Company can opt to pay interest on the revolving credit at either a base rate plus a spread, or a LIBOR rate plus a spread. The base rate spread ranges from 0.00% to 0.50% depending on the Borrower’s Adjusted Excess Availability (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The LIBOR spread ranges from 1.75% to 2.25% also depending on the Adjusted Excess Availability. Funds borrowed under the LIBOR option can be borrowed for periods of one, two, or three months and are limited to four LIBOR contracts outstanding at any time. In addition, CIBC assesses an unused line fee that ranges from 0.25% to 0.375% and is payable monthly.

The Loan Agreement subjects the Company and its domestic subsidiaries to a minimum quarterly EBITDA covenant (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The minimum quarterly EBITDA covenant (as defined in the Loan Agreement) is $2,000 for all fiscal years starting with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 through the end of the agreement. Additionally, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries are subject to a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00 measured on an annual basis beginning September 30, 2019 (based on a trailing twelve-month basis) through the term of the agreement. At the end of a quarter, if there is $15,000 or more of availability and outstanding borrowings of less than $5,000, covenant testing is waived. The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, make investments, make acquisitions, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size. The Company was not required to calculate covenant compliance calculations at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Loan Agreement has a Letter of Credit facility of $3,000, which is fully reserved against availability.

Note Payable—Winona Facility Purchase

At March 31, 2020, Badger has a balance on note payable to Avis Industrial Corporation of $258. Badger is required to make 60 monthly payments of $10 that began on August 1, 2017.

PM Debt Restructuring

On March 6, 2018, PM Group and Oil & Steel S.p.A. (PM Group’s subsidiary) entered into a Debt Restructuring Agreement (the “Restructuring Agreement”) with Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A., Banca Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A., BPER Banca S.p.A., Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna S.p.A. and Unicredit S.p.A. (collectively the “Lenders”), and Loan Agency Services S.r.l. (the “Agent”). The Restructuring Agreement, which replaces the previous debt restructuring agreement with the Lenders entered into in 2014, provides for, among other things:

•

The provision of subordinated shareholders’ loans by the Company to PM Group, consisting of (i) conversion of an existing trade receivable in the amount of €3.1 million into a loan; (ii) an additional subordinated shareholders’ loan in the aggregate maximum amount of up to €2.4 million, to be made currently; and (iii) a further loan of €1.8 million which was paid by December 31, 2018, in each case to be used to repay a portion of PM Group’s outstanding obligations to the Lenders;

•

Amendments to the 2014 put and call options agreement with BPER to, among other things, extend the exercise of the options until the approval of PM Group’s financial statements for the 2021 fiscal year and permit the assignment of certain subordinated receivables to the Company. The fair market value of this liability is subject to revaluation on a recurring basis;

•

New amortization and repayment schedules for amounts owed by PM Group to the Lenders under the various outstanding tranches of indebtedness, along with revised interest rates and financial covenants. Under the Debt Restructuring Agreement term debt is repaid over a nine-year period starting in 2018 and ending in 2026 (versus 2022 prior to the Debt Restructuring Agreement); and

•

The effect of PM Group not meeting its December 31, 2017 financial covenants was cured by the Debt Restructuring Agreement.

Equipment

The Company has entered into a lease agreement with a bank pursuant to which the Company is permitted to borrow 100% of the cost of new equipment with 29 month repayment periods. At the conclusion of the lease period, for each piece of equipment the Company is required to purchase that piece of leased equipment for one dollar.

The equipment, which is acquired in ordinary course of the Company’s business, is available for sale and rental prior to sale.

Under the lease agreement the Company can elect to exercise an early buyout option at any time, and pay the bank the present value of the remaining rental payments discounted by a specified Index Rate established at the time of leasing. The early buyout option results in a prepayment penalty which progressively decreases during the term of the lease.

12. Convertible Notes

Related Party

On December 19, 2014, the Company issued a subordinated convertible debenture with a $7,500 face amount payable to Terex, a 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.

As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the note had a remaining principal balance of $7,367 and $7,323 and an unamortized discount of $134 and $177, respectively.

The Terex agreements included obligations on the part of the Company to timely file with the SEC its reports that are required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act. Effective March 29, 2018, the Company obtained waivers from the holders with respect to any breaches, defaults or events of default that may have been or may be triggered in connection with the Company’s failure to timely file its reports with the SEC due to the previously completed restatement of the Company’s financial statements.

Perella Notes

On January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Perella Note Purchase Agreement”) with MI Convert Holdings LLC (which is owned by investment funds constituting part of the Perella Weinberg Partners Asset Based Value Strategy) and Invemed Associates LLC (together, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue $15,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due January 7, 2021 (the “Perella Notes”) to the Investors. The Perella Notes are subordinated, carry a 6.50% per annum coupon, and are convertible, at the holder’s option, into shares of Company common stock, based on an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share, subject to customary adjustments. 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. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental corporate changes, the Perella Notes are redeemable at the option of the holders of the Perella Notes. The Perella Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to the maturity date, and the payment of principal is subject to acceleration upon an event of default. The issuance of the Perella Notes by the Company was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 506 and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

In accordance with a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors dated January 7, 2015, the Company agreed to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Perella Notes. The Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company was declared effective by the SEC on February 23, 2015.

As of March 31, 2020, the note had a remaining principal balance of $8,000 (less $73 debt issuance cost for a net debt of $7,927) and an unamortized discount of $0, compared to a remaining balance of $14,858 (less $98 debt issuance cost for a net debt of $14,760) and an unamortized discount of $142 at December 31, 2019.

In January 2020, the Company obtained consent from the Noteholders to make prepayments on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has paid $7,000 in principal prepayments on the Notes.

The Perella agreements included obligations on the part of the Company to timely file with the SEC its reports that are required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act. Effective March 28, 2018, the Company obtained waivers from the holders with respect to any breaches, defaults or events of default that may have been or may be triggered in connection with the Company’s failure to timely file its reports with the SEC due to the previously completed restatement of the Company’s financial statements.

13. Leases

We lease certain warehouses, office space, machinery, vehicles, and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company is not aware of any variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, covenants or restrictions imposed by the leases. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets is limited by the expected lease term for finance leases.

If there was a rate explicit in the lease, this was the discount rate used. For those leases with no explicit or implicit interest rate, an incremental borrowing rate was used. The weighted average remaining useful life for operating and finance leases was 4 and 7 years, respectively. The weighted average discount rate for operating and finance leases was 3.92% and 12.5% respectively.

14. Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act” was enacted. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to net operating loss carrybacks, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, a modification to the net interest deduction limitations and a technical correction to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Cares Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax provision from continuing operations of $404, which includes a discrete income tax benefit of $316. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily consists of foreign income taxes offset by a discrete income tax benefit related to the expiration of the statute of limitations for various state and foreign jurisdictions, and the settlement of the Romanian tax audit for 2017 and 2018, which includes a partial reduction in the valuation allowance at PM Italy caused by the indirect effects of uncertain tax positions embedded in foreign net operating loss carryforwards.. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $197, which includes a discrete income tax provision of $46 for the accrual of taxes and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was an income tax provision of -6.08% on pretax loss of $6,640 compared to an income tax provision of 13.10% on a pretax income of $1,506 in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to valuation allowance in the U.S. and Italy, nondeductible foreign permanent differences, an decrease in unrecognized tax benefits related to the expiration of the statute of limitations for various state and foreign jurisdictions, and the tax effects of settling the Romanian tax audit for 2017 and 2018.

The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $4.0 million and $4.3 million. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits is a liability for the disputed Romania income tax audit assessment for tax years 2012-2016. The Romanian audit for tax years 2017 and 2018 was settled during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Depending upon the final resolution of the Italy audit and disputed Romanian income tax assessment, the uncertain tax position liability could be higher or lower than the amount recorded at March 31, 2020. A favorable resolution of an unrecognized tax benefit could be recognized as a reduction in the tax provision and effective rate in the period of resolution. An unfavorable settlement of an unrecognized tax benefit could increase the tax provision and effective tax rate and may require the use of cash in the period of resolution. We believe it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $0.3 million in unrecognized tax benefits will be realized within 12 months of the reporting date as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations and for the anticipated resolution of the Italy tax audit.

15. 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, restricted stock units and stock options. Details of the calculations are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019
Net (loss) income from continuing	$	(7,044	)	$	1,309
Loss from operations of discontinued operations, net of income taxes		(432	)		(399	)
Net (loss) income	$	(7,476	)	$	910

Manitex International, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan

In 2019, the Company adopted the Manitex International, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 1,329,364 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.

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.

Restricted Stock Awards

The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units:

	March 31, 2020
Outstanding on January 1, 2020		198,717
Units granted during the period		125,000
Vested and issued		(46,935	)
Vested-issued and repurchased for income tax withholding		(2,949	)
Forfeited		(7,450	)
Outstanding on March 31, 2020		266,383

The value of the restricted stock is being charged to compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense includes expense related to restricted stock units of $201 and $159 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Additional compensation expense related to restricted stock units will be $519, $627 and $347 for the remainder of 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Stock Options

On September 1, 2019, 50,000 stock options were granted at $5.62 per share and vest ratably on each of the first three anniversary dates. Compensation expense related to stock options were $21 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $0 for the comparable period. Additional compensation expense will be $48, $31 and $10 for the remainder of 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The following table illustrates the various assumptions used to calculate the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options granted on September 1, 2019:

	Grant date 9/1/2019
Dividend yields		—
Expected volatility		51.0	%
Risk free interest rate		1.42	%
Expected life (in years)		6
Fair value of the option granted	$	2.76

On May 23, 2018, the Company issued options under the predecessor 2004 Equity Plan to purchase 47,437 shares of the Company’s common stock at $11.08 per share (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date before the Tadano Purchase Agreement was executed) to a consultant in connection with his services related to Tadano’s investment in the Company. The options expire on May 23, 2028. The Company determined that the fair market value of the options was $130 on date of grant. The value of options is one component of the expenses related to the Tadano transactions discussed above.

17. 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 limits that range from $50 to $500.

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 PM lawsuits in conjunction with the accounting for our acquisition of PM.

Additionally, beginning on December 31, 2011, the Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policy has a per claim deductible of $250 and annual aggregates that range from $1,000 to $1,875 depending on the policy year. 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 does not believe that the contingencies associated with these workers’ compensation claims in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

On May 5, 2011, the Company entered into two separate settlement agreements with two plaintiffs. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs an aggregate of $1,140 without interest in 12 annual installments of $95 on or before May 22 of each year. 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 the 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.

Romania Income Tax Audit

As described in Note 14, Income Taxes, included in the unrecognized tax benefits is a liability for the disputed Romania income tax audit assessment for tax years 2012-2016. Depending upon the final resolution of the income tax assessment, the liability could be higher or lower than the amount recorded at March 31, 2020.

Residual Value Guarantees

The Company issues residual value guarantees to support a customer’s financing of equipment purchased from the Company. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date if certain conditions are met by the customer. The Company has issued partial residual guarantees that have maximum exposure of approximately $1.6 million. The Company does not have any reason to believe that any exposure from such a guarantee is either probable or estimable at this time, as such no liability has been recorded. The Company’s ability to recover losses experienced from its guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in used equipment markets at the time of loss.

SEC Inquiry

The Company continues to comply with the SEC investigation regarding the Company’s restatement of prior financial statements, which was completed in April 2018.

18. Transactions between the Company and Related Parties

In the course of conducting its business, the Company has entered into certain related party transactions.

PM sold cranes, parts, and accessories to Tadano. C&M purchases cranes and parts from Terex. Additionally, the Company has a convertible note with a face amount of $7,500 payable to Terex. See Note 12 for additional details.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company was the majority owner of ASV and, therefore, ASV was not a related party during that period. In May 2017, the Company reduced is its ownership interest in ASV to 21.2% and in February 2018 further reduced its ownership to approximately 11%. As such, ASV became a related party beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Company sold its remaining interest in ASV in September 2019 and is no longer a related party at September 30, 2019.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had accounts receivable and payable with related parties as shown below:

The Company leases its 40,000 sq. ft. Bridgeview facility from an entity controlled by Mr. David Langevin, the Company’s Executive Chairman and former CEO. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, the Company makes monthly lease payments of $23. The Company is also responsible for all the associated operations expenses, including insurance, property taxes, and repairs. On October 3, 2018, the lease was amended to extend the initial lease term to fifteen years expiring in May 26, 2025 with a provision for an option one five-year period and thereafter, six one year extension periods. The lease contains a rental escalation clause under which annual rent is increased during the initial lease term by the lesser of the increase in the Consumer Price Increase or 2.0%. Rent for any extension period shall, however, be the then-market rate for similar industrial buildings within the market area. The Company has the option to purchase the building by giving the Landlord written notice at any time prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the expiration of the lease or any extension period. The Landlord can require the Company to purchase the building if a Change of Control Event, as defined in the agreement occurs by giving written notice to the Company at any time prior to the date that is 180 days prior to expiration of the lease or any extension period. The purchase price regardless whether the purchase is initiated by the Company or the landlord will be the Fair Market Value as of the closing date of said sale.

Note Payable to Terex

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had a convertible note payable of $7,367 (net of unamortized debt discount) to Terex. See Note 12 for additional details regarding this convertible note.

19. Sale of Investment in ASV Holdings

Sale of Partial Interest in ASV Holdings

On May 17, 2017, the Company and ASV completed the underwritten initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 3,800,000 shares of ASV common stock, including 2,000,000 shares sold by the Company.

Following the sale of the above referenced shares, the Company had significant continuing involvement with ASV in the form of an equity investment (21.2% ownership in ASV).

Disposition of the Remaining Available for Sale Investment

Over the period from February 26 to 28, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of ASV in privately-negotiated transactions with institutional purchasers. All such shares were sold for $7.00 per share. Following such sale transactions, the Company owned an aggregate of 1,080,000 shares of ASV which equated to approximately 11.0% percent of ASV. After this transaction, the investment in ASV is no longer accounted for under the equity method. The Company recognized a pretax loss of $205 (which includes the $118 of commissions paid) in connection with sale of these shares. The Company was not able to record a tax benefit for this loss.

In September 2019, ASV merged with Yanmar America Corporation resulting in the Company receiving $7.05 per share in cash, or $7.6 million, for its remaining 1,080,000 shares of ASV.

Going forward, the Company no longer has marketable equity securities on its consolidated balance sheet.

Note 21. Subsequent Events

On April 14, 2020, the Company and its United States subsidiaries received funds under notes and related documents (the “PPP Loans”) with CIBC Bank, USA under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) which is part of the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Company received total proceeds of $3.7 million from the PPP Loans. In accordance with the requirements of the PPP, the Company intends to use proceeds from the PPP Loans primarily for payroll costs. The PPP Loans are scheduled to mature starting on April 8, 2022, have a 1.00% interest rate and are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the PPP Loans may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.

We are closely monitoring the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and are continually assessing its potential effects on our business and our financial performance as well as the businesses of our customers and vendors. The Company cannot predict the duration or severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact the COVID-19 outbreak will have on our results and significant estimates going forward.

Recent Developments

Impact of COVID-19

We are closely monitoring the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers, employees, supply chain, and distribution network, as well as the demand for our products in the industries and markets that we serve. Our first priority is to the health and safety of our employees, customers, and business partners and we believe that we have taken every necessary step to keep our facilities clean and safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. While COVID-19 did not have a material adverse effect on our reported results for our first quarter, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact that it may have on our business, future results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the ultimate severity and duration of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact. Furthermore, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to and volatility in the financial markets remain unknown. See Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, for an additional discussion of risks related to COVD-19.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company experienced a temporary reduction of its manufacturing and operating capacity in Italy as a result of government-mandated actions to control the spread of COVID-19 which impacted revenues by approximately $3 million. Further, the Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions or delays in its supply chain as a result of such actions, which has resulted in higher supply chain costs to the Company in order to maintain the supply of materials and components for its products. In addition, the Company has modified its business practices (including practices regarding employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences).

The Company has experienced a recent decline in demand and volumes in its global businesses as a result of the impact of efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19. In addition, the Company’s customers may choose to delay or abandon projects on which the Company provides products and/or services.

Equity Investment

On May 17, 2017, the Company began accounting for its investment in ASV under the equity method as the Company sold shares of ASV that reduced its ownership percentage from 51% to 21.2%. From February 26 to 28, 2018, the Company sold an additional 1,000,000 shares of ASV stock, which reduced its ownership percentage to approximately 11.0%. In September 2019, the Company received cash merger consideration for its remaining 1,080,000 shares of ASV and no longer has an investment in ASV.

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.

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.

Business Overview

PM Group remains a very bright spot in our portfolio, and we have made notable progress towards our goal of achieving higher levels of penetration in the global articulating cranes market. As we announced in our annual update in March, we started 2020 with robust demand for PM products, but unfortunately with the outbreak of COVID-19 in Italy, we were forced to temporarily halt production at our Italian facilities on March 21, 2020, with employees being told to stay home. After a 30-day hiatus, we reopened and resumed production on April 21, 2020. Even with these limitations, we delivered higher revenues and improved Adjusted EBITDA, both sequentially and year over year, and the backlog, at approximately $28 million, gives us visibility, all things equal, for a year of solid growth for PM, with healthy double-digit Adjusted EBITDA margins that approach our long-term targets.

In our North American operations, we had a slower start to the year and were able to make up some of the shortfall in March. Our North American operations have thus far remained opened during the pandemic, which has allowed us to deliver on our backlog. Thus far, we have not experienced any COVID-19 cases in our North American facilities. Manitex straight mast crane delivered during the quarter March 31, 2020 in line with our expectations, despite being tempered by lower unit volume/shipments that have trended throughout the industry, and we do see some slowing in orders in stick boom cranes and industrial products, as we look into 2020.

The Company’s backlog is $57.0 million and $65.3 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Net (loss) income from continuing operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company had net loss of $7.0 million compared to net income of $1.3 million, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the net loss of $7.0 million consisted of revenue of $48.7 million, cost of sales of $38.5 million, research and development costs of $0.7 million, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $8.0 million, impairment charges of $6.7 million, interest expense of $1.1 million, interest income of $0.1 million, a foreign currency loss of $0.4 million and income tax expense of $0.4 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the net income of $1.3 million consisted of revenue of $54.4 million, cost of sales of $42.4 million, research and development costs of $0.7 million, SG&A expenses of $9.1 million, interest expense of $1.1 million, interest income of $0.1 million, a gain in change in fair value of securities held of $0.8 million, a foreign currency loss of $0.4 million, and income tax expense of $0.2 million.

Net revenues and gross profit —For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net revenues and gross profit were $48.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 21.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net revenues and gross profit were $54.4 million and $12.0 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 22.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Net revenues decreased $5.7 million or 10.5% to $48.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $54.4 million for the comparable period in 2019. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to decreases in sales of straight mast offset by increases in knuckle boom cranes. The revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were also unfavorably impacted by $0.7 million in foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from a weaker Euro.

Our gross profit decreased $1.8 million to $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $12.0 million for the comparable period in 2019. The decrease in gross profit is attributable to decreases in revenues and product mix which caused a 1.0% decline in gross profit percentage. The decline in the gross profit percentage is primarily due to a decrease in the gross margin percentage generated on the sale of straight mast offset by increases in gross margin on knuckle boom cranes.

Research and development —Research and development expense was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared with $0.7 million for the same period in 2019. The Company’s research and development spending reflects our continued commitment to develop and introduce new products that give the Company a competitive advantage.

Selling, general and administrative expense —SG&A expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $14.8 million compared to $9.1 million for the comparable period in 2019, an increase of $5.7 million. The increases are primarily related to impairment charges of $6.7 million of intangibles during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $0.5 million incurred to participate in the Conexpo held in March 2020. The Conexpo show, which is held every three years, was held in Las Vegas in March of this year. This show is an international gathering place for the construction industries. It is estimated that 130,000 professionals, from around the world, attended the show. These increases were partially offset by cost savings from various cost reduction initiatives and a net favorable exchange rate impact.

Operating (loss) income—For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had operating loss of $5.2 million compared to operating income of $2.2 million for the comparable period in 2019. Operating income decreased due to changes in revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses as explained above.

Interest expense —Interest expense was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The decrease in debt partially offset by higher interest rates resulted in no change to interest expense.

Foreign currency transaction losses —For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had foreign currency loss of $0.4 million compared to loss of $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2019. As previously stated, the Company attempts to purchase forward currency exchange contracts such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in a currency 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. Currency risks can be reduced but not eliminated in part because 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.

Income tax — On March 27, 2020, the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act” was enacted. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to net operating loss carrybacks, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, a modification to the net interest deduction limitations and a technical correction to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.4 million, which includes a discrete income tax benefit of $0.3 million. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily consists of foreign income taxes offset by a discrete income tax benefit related to the expiration of the statute of limitations for various state and foreign jurisdictions, and the settlement of the Romanian tax audit for 2017 and 2018, which includes a partial reduction in the valuation allowance caused by the indirect effects of uncertain tax positions embedded in foreign net operating loss carryforwards. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.2 million, which includes a discrete income tax provision of $0.01 million for the accrual of taxes and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was an income tax provision of -6.08% on pretax loss of $6.6 million compared to an income tax provision of 13.10% on a pretax income of $1.5 million in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, nondeductible foreign permanent differences and a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits related to the expiration of the statute of limitations for various state and foreign jurisdictions, and the tax effects of settling the Romanian tax audit for 2017 and 2018.

Change in fair value of securities held— For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company held no marketable securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company had a gain of $0.8 million. The gain for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was due to a change in the fair value of securities held in ASV (see Notes 2 and 8).

Net (loss) income from continuing operations— For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a net loss of $7.0 million compared to a net income of $1.3 million, respectively. The change is explained above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The ultimate duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain at this time. Accordingly, its impact on the global economy generally and our customers and suppliers specifically, as well as the potential negative financial impact to our results of operations and liquidity position cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but could be material. In the context of these uncertain conditions, we are actively managing the business to maintain cash flow and ensure that we have sufficient liquidity for a variety of scenarios. We believe that such strategy will allow us to meet our anticipated funding requirements.

On April 14, 2020, the Company and its United States subsidiaries received the PPP Loans under the PPP which is part of the recently enacted CARES Act administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Company received total proceeds of $3.7 million from the PPP Loans. In accordance with the requirements of the PPP, the Company intends to use proceeds from the PPP Loans primarily for payroll costs.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $22.3 million at March 31, 2020 compared to $23.6 million at December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company has a U.S. revolving credit facility with a maturity date of July 20, 2023. At March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $23.6 million available to borrow under its revolving credit facility.

At March 31, 2020, the PM Group had established working capital facilities with five Italian, one Spanish and nine South American banks. Under these facilities, the PM Group can borrow $22.9 million against orders, invoices and letters of credit. At March 31, 2020, the PM Group had received advances of $15.2 million. Future advances are dependent on having available collateral.

Our subsidiary in Argentina (“PM Argentina”) began accounting for their operations as highly inflationary effective July 1, 2018, as required by GAAP. Under highly inflationary accounting, PM Argentina’s functional currency became the Euro (its parent company reporting currency), and its income statement and balance sheet have been measured in Euros using both current and historical rates of exchange. The effect of changes in exchange rates on peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities has been reflected in earnings in other (income) and expense, net and was not material. As of March 31, 2020, PM Argentina had a small net peso monetary position. Net sales of PM Argentina were less than 5 percent of our consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

On June 26, 2019, ASV entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger. The Company’s investment in ASV common stock was converted into $7.05 per share in cash. The Company received approximately $7.6 million in cash in September of 2019.

Change in Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, total debt decreased by $0.5 million to $64.3 million at March 31, 2020 from $64.8 million at December 31, 2019.

The following is a summary of the net decrease in our indebtedness from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020:

Facility	Increase/(decrease)
U.S. Revolver	$	6.0		million
Note payable—bank (insurance premiums)		0.1		million
Capital leases-equipment		(0.2	)	million
Convertible note-Terex		0.1		million
Convertible note-Perella		(6.9	)	million
PM		0.3		million
Valla note payable		(0.1	)	million
Valla working capital borrowings		0.1		million
	$	(0.6	)	million
Debt issuance costs		0.1		million
	$	(0.5	)	million

(1)

The amounts on the above table are calculated by determining the differences between the U.S. dollar amounts, or in case of foreign debt, the difference in U.S. amount of local currency debt for March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 converted at the exchange rate as of the two respective balance sheet dates. The net change on the above tables agrees to the change in debt that appears on the face of the Company’s balance sheet.

The total change on the above tables differs significantly from the amounts that appear in the financing section of the Company’s Statement of Cash Flow. This occurs as the changes for Cash Flow statements are calculated in local currency and then converted to dollars at an average exchange rate. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is, therefore, isolated and is included in separate line on the cash flow statement.

Outstanding borrowings

The following is a summary of our outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2020:

(In millions)

	Outstanding Balance			Interest Rate	Interest Paid	Principal Payment
U.S. Revolver	$	6.0		N/A	Monthly	July 20, 2023 maturity
Convertible note—Terex		7.4		7.5%	Semi-Annual	January 1, 2021 maturity
Convertible note—Perella		8.0		7.5%	Semi-Annual	January 7, 2021 maturity
Capital lease—cranes for sale		0.1		5.5%	Monthly	January 13, 2021 maturity
Capital lease—Georgetown facility		4.8		12.5%	Monthly	$0.06 million monthly payment includes interest. April 30, 2028 maturity
Note payable—Winona Facility		0.3		8.0%	Monthly	$0.01 million monthly

Future availability under credit facilities

As stated above, the Company had cash of $22.3 million and approximately $23.6 million available to borrow under its credit facility at March 31, 2020.

PM Group has its 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 under the Company’s credit facilities. Additional funds can be advanced to the Italian operations provided that the funds come from the sales of the marketable equity security referenced above.

The Company needs cash to fund normal working capital needs and to make scheduled debt payments as shown in the above table. The U.S. 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.

Under the collateral formulas in the credit facilities accounts receivable collateral is equal to a stated percent of eligible accounts receivable (generally 85%), while inventory collateral is equal to a stated percent of eligible inventory (generally 50%) and caps total borrowing against our inventory. If our revenues were to increase significantly in the future, the provision limiting borrowing against accounts receivable and inventory would limit future borrowings. If this were to occur, we would attempt to negotiate higher inventory caps with our banks. There is, however, no assurance that the banks would agree to increase the caps. With the current cash position and additional borrowing capacity, this presently is not viewed to be a significant concern.

The Company expects cash flows from operations and existing availability under the current revolving credit facilities 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. There is, however, no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms.

We will likely need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings to fund any future significant acquisitions. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms.

Cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 compared to three-months ended March 31, 2019

Operating Activities - For the first three months of 2020, cash used for operating activities decreased by $1.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease reflected a decrease of $1.9 million in cash consumed for working capital primarily driven by effective accounts receivable and accounts payable management in the first three months of 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Investing Activities - Cash used by investing activities was $0.4 million in the first three months of 2020, compared to $0.8 million in the same period a year ago. Cash used in both the three-month periods were related to cash payments for plant, property and equipment.

Financing Activities - Cash used by financing activities was a slight outflow for the three months ended March 31, 2020 which included an increase in working capital borrowing of $1.2 million, repayments of the convertible debt of $7.0 million and borrowings on the revolving credit facility of $6.0 million. Cash from financing activities was an inflow of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which included working capital borrowing of $1.2 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

The existing guidance related to marketable equity securities first became relevant to the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. See Note 2 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which describes the Company’s policy related to marketable equity securities.

See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 for a discussion of the Company’s other critical accounting policies.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 2, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of recently issued accounting standards.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

CIBC has issued 2 standby letters of credit at March 31, 2020. The first standby letter of credit is $0.4 million in favor of an insurance carrier to secure obligations which may arise in connection with future deductible payments that may be incurred under the Company’s worker’s compensation insurance policies. The second standby letter of credit is $20 thousand in favor of a governmental agency to secure obligations which may arise in connection with worker’s compensation claims.

The Company has issued residual value guarantees to support a customer’s financing. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date if certain conditions are met by the customer. The Company has issued partially residual guarantees that have a maximum exposure of approximately $1.6 million. The Company, however, does not have any reason to believe that any exposure from such a guarantee is either probable or estimable at this time, as such no liability has been recorded.

See Note 17 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our guarantees.

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s market risk disclosures have not materially changed since the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s evaluation has identified certain material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Based on the evaluation of these material weaknesses, the Company has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2020 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on a number of factors, including the completion of the Audit Committee’s internal investigation, our internal review that identified revisions to our previously issued financial statements, and efforts to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below we believe the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with GAAP.

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.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that there were deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that constitute material weaknesses, as defined by SEC regulations, at March 31, 2020, with respect to procedures for:

1.	We did not maintain adequate entity-level controls with respect to ensuring adequate supporting documentation of journal entries and proper review and approval of journal entries and disbursements that were unusual in nature and of significant amounts.

2.	We did not maintain a formal and consistent policy for establishing inventory reserves for excess and obsolete inventory.

3.	We did not maintain an effective control environment over information technology general controls, based on the criteria established in the COSO framework, to enable identification and mitigation of risks of material accounting errors.

The Company historically has acquired a number of non-public companies. In the course of integrating these companies’ financial reporting methods and systems with those of the Company, the Company has not effectively designed and implemented effective internal control activities, based on the criteria established in the COSO framework, across the organization in connection with such acquisitions. We have identified deficiencies in the principles associated with the control activities component of the COSO framework. Specifically, these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, relating to (i) our ability to attract, develop, and retain sufficient personnel to perform control activities, (ii) selecting and developing control activities that contribute to the mitigation of risks and support achievement of objectives, (iii) deploying control activities through consistent policies that establish what is expected and procedures that put policies into action, and (iv) holding individuals accountable for their internal control related responsibilities.

Accordingly, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by SEC regulations, were not effective at March 31, 2020.

Management’s Remediation Activities

During 2019, management invested significant time and effort to remediate two of the material weaknesses identified in 2018. Specifically, the following remediation actions were taken and completed:

We did not maintain an adequate process for the intake of new contracts, customers and vendors, particularly for contracts involving unique transaction structures or unusual obligations on the part of the Company, to ensure that all contracts are appropriately reviewed and approved, and the associated financial reporting requirements associated with such contracts and transactions structures are properly identified and complied with in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

During 2019, the Company implemented a control that all initial sales orders are documented and reviewed to ensure proper accounting treatments are applied to any unique terms in the agreements.

2.	We did not maintain an adequate review process with respect to the accounting of bill-and-hold transactions and ensuring proper revenue recognition.

During 2019, the Company enhanced its control environment and implemented controls regarding revenue recognition, specifically tailored to bill and hold transactions. Management has implemented additional controls to address this material weakness.

Other than the changes disclosed above, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) that occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Plan for Remediation of the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management has been actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address the remaining material weaknesses, as well as other identified areas of risk. These remediation efforts, outlined below, are intended both to address the identified material weaknesses and to enhance the Company’s overall financial control environment. Management’s planned actions to further address these issues in fiscal year 2020 include:

•

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company began implementing controls to prevent anyone in a senior management position from being able to post manual journal entries, and require all manual journal entries to be reviewed and approved by an appropriate individual other than the preparer;

•

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company began implementing a formal and consistent policy for establishing inventory reserves for excess and obsolete inventory and situations where net realizable value is less than inventory cost;

•

Information Technology policies and procedures has been developed for all United States entities and has been rolled out with testing to begin in Q2 of 2020. Testing to confirm implementation will take place through the end of 2020;

•

Other control improvements will include employee retraining with respect to the Company’s Code of Ethics; and

•

Executive oversight will be improved through additional reporting requirements and meetings.

The audit committee has directed management to develop a detailed plan and timetable for the implementation of the foregoing remedial measures (to the extent not already completed) and will monitor their implementation. Management completed development/implementation of the detail plan during the third quarter of 2019 and has been providing updates to the audit committee on a periodic basis. As part of the plan, during the third quarter of 2019, the Company hired an information technology director to evaluate and improve the information technology controls at our U.S. operations so as to enable us to identify and mitigate risks of material accounting errors. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company engaged a top ten accounting firm to help with remediating its material weaknesses. In addition, under the direction of the audit committee, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of the Company’s internal control environment, as well as policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Management believes the measures described above and others that will be implemented will remediate the control deficiencies the Company has identified and strengthen its internal control over financial reporting. Management is committed to continuous improvement of the Company’s internal control processes and will continue to diligently review the Company’s financial reporting controls and procedures. As management continues to evaluate and work to improve internal control over financial reporting, the Company may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1—Legal Proceedings

The information set forth in Note 17 (Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Other than as described in this Item 1A, there have been no other material changes to our risk factors from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. In response to this outbreak, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken a variety of preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations. Temporary closures of businesses have been ordered in many jurisdictions and numerous other businesses have temporarily closed voluntarily. These measures, while intended to curtail the spread of COVID-19, have and are expected to continue to have significant adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. The current outbreak and continued spread of COVID-19 have resulted in an economic slowdown, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession. Currently, the effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts and other measures being taken to mitigate the effects of these actions and the spread of COVID-19 is uncertain.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we and our affiliates, employees, suppliers, customers and others have been and may continue to be restricted or prevented from conducting normal business activities, including as a result of shutdowns, travel restrictions and other actions that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. Such actions have prevented, and may in the future prevent us from accessing the facilities of our customers to provide services. While a substantial portion of our businesses have been classified as an essential business in jurisdictions in which facility closures have been mandated, some of our facilities have nevertheless been ordered to close in certain jurisdictions and we can give no assurance that there will not be additional closures in the future or that our businesses will be classified as essential in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate.

The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted, and may continue to impact, our office locations and manufacturing facilities, as well as those of our third-party vendors, including the effects of facility closures, reductions in operating hours and other social distancing efforts. For example, we have experienced and are experiencing a temporary reduction of our manufacturing and operating capacity in Italy as a result of government-mandated actions to control the spread of COVID-19. In addition, we have modified our business practices (including practices regarding employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and other partners. These modifications to our business practices, including any future actions we take, may cause us to experience reductions in productivity and disruptions to our business routines. Further, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions or delays in our supply chain as a result of such actions, which has resulted in higher supply chain costs to us in order to maintain the supply of materials and components for our products.

Our management of the impact of COVID-19 has and will continue to require significant investment of time from our management and employees, as well as resources across our global enterprise. The focus on managing and mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 on our business may cause us to divert or delay the application of our resources toward new initiatives or investments, which may adversely impact our future results of operations. In addition, issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic may result in legal claims or litigation against us.

We may also experience impacts from market downturns and changes in consumer behavior related to pandemic fears as a result of COVID-19. For example, we have experienced a recent decline in demand in our global businesses as a result of the impact of efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19. In addition, our customers may choose to delay or abandon projects on which we provide products. We may also experience adverse impacts on demand and sales volumes from industries that are sensitive to economic downturns and volatility in commodity prices. If these adverse impacts continue, our stock price and the operating performances of our businesses could be adversely affected, which could require us to incur material impairment, restructuring or other charges. For example, in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we were required to record impairment charges to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets related to PM Group.

The impact of COVID-19 has caused significant uncertainty and volatility in the credit markets. We rely on the credit markets to provide us with liquidity to operate and grow our businesses beyond the liquidity that our operating cash flows provide. If our access to capital were to become significantly constrained or if costs of capital increased significantly due the impact of COVID-19, including volatility in the capital markets, or other factors, then our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

If the COVID-19 pandemic becomes more pronounced in our global markets, resurges in markets recovering from the spread of COVID-19, or if another significant natural disaster or pandemic were to occur in the future, our operations in areas impacted by such events could experience further adverse financial impacts due to market changes and other resulting events and circumstances. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the longevity of COVID-19, the impact of COVID-19 on economic activity, and the actions to contain its impacts on public health and the global economy. The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, any of which could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The potential insolvency or financial distress of third parties could adversely impact our business and results of operations.

We are exposed to the risk that various third parties with whom we conduct business will not be able to perform their obligations or continue to place orders due to insolvency or financial distress. The global COVID-19 pandemic has created heightened risk that third parties may be unable to perform their obligations due to suffering financial distress as a result of the pandemic and corresponding measures that have been enacted by governments to contain the spread of the virus. However, we are unable predict the ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on any of our customers, suppliers, vendors, and other business partners, and each of their financial conditions or their ability to perform their obligations. If third parties fail to perform their obligations under arrangements with us, we may be forced to replace the underlying commitment at current or above market prices or on other terms that are less favorable to us. In such events, we may incur losses, or our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity could otherwise be adversely affected.

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

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