GENERAL

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by Manitex International, Inc. speaks as of March 31, 2023 unless specifically noted otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, Manitex International, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is hereinafter referred to as “Manitex,” the “Registrant,” “us,” “we,” “our” or the “Company.”

 

Forward-Looking Information

 

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. In addition, when included in this Quarterly Report or in documents incorporated herein by reference the words “may,” “expects,” “should,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates” and the negatives thereof and analogous or similar expressions are intended to identify 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. Such risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include, without limitation, those described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors”:

 

a future substantial deterioration in economic conditions, especially in the United States and Europe;
the reliance of our customers on government spending, fluctuations in activity levels in the construction industry.
our level of indebtedness and our ability to meet financial covenants required by our debt agreements;
our ability to negotiate extensions of our credit agreements and to obtain additional debt or equity financing when needed;
any failure on our part to maintain an effective system of internal controls;
the cyclical nature of the markets we operate in;
a large portion of our revenues are concentrated to a limited number of customers
a further impact of increases in inflation and interest rates;
our increasingly international operations expose us to additional risks and challenges associated with conducting business internationally, including currency exchange risks;
difficulties in implementing new systems, integrating acquired businesses, managing anticipated growth, and responding to technological change;
the availability of the third-party financing that some of our customers rely on to purchase our products;
our operations are in a highly competitive industry and the Company is particularly subject to the risks of such competition;
our dependency upon third-party suppliers makes us vulnerable to supply shortages;
price increases in materials could reduce our profitability;
our rental fleet ages causing significant impact to profitability;
the Company is unable to collect on rental revenue;
our rental fleet is subject to residual value risk;
the Company faces product liability claims and other liabilities due to the nature of its business;
the negative impacts COVID-19 has had and will continue to have on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and supply chain, as well as customer demand;

1


 

the Company’s success depends upon the continued protections of its trademarks and the Company may be forced to incur substantial costs to maintain, defend, protect and enforce its intellectual property rights;
volatility relating to our stock price;
our ability to access the capital markets to raise funds and provide liquidity;
the willingness of our shareholders and directors to approve mergers, acquisitions, and other business transactions;
compliance with changing laws and regulations;
a substantial portion of our revenues are attributed to a limited number of customers which may decrease or cease purchasing at any time;
a disruption or breach in our information technology systems;
the significant percentage of our common stock held by principal shareholders, executive officers and directors;
our reliance on the management and leadership skills of our senior executives;
impairment in the carrying value of goodwill and/or other intangible assets could negatively affect our operating results; and
provisions of the Michigan Business Corporation Act and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, may discourage or prevent a change in control of the Company.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. 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.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all 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, 2022. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

We are continuing to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other economic conditions, including inflation, interest rate increases and various geopolitical factors, on all aspects of our business, including how these factors are impacting our customers,

9


 

employees, supply chain, and distribution network, as well as the demand for our products in the industries and markets that we serve. While COVID-19 and these other economic factors have had a material impact on our past financial results, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact that they may have on our business, future results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by these factors will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. Furthermore, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to and volatility in the financial markets remain unknown.

The Company is continuing to experience supply chain disruptions and related logistical bottlenecks that have impacted our ability to meet strong industrial demand and have also increased costs related to shipping, warehousing and working capital management. While the Company is actively working to mitigate these expenses and the associated timing issues, certain segments – such as truck chassis – have been more impacted than others. Where appropriate and feasible, we have implemented pricing adjustments to protect margins and, in tandem, continue to build inventory to meet our customer requirements. In addition, the Company is actively managing costs and working to further streamline operations where needed. Furthermore, the Company has modified its business practices to manage expenses (including practices regarding employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences).

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term securities purchased with maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The cash in the Company’s U.S. banks is not fully insured by the FDIC due to the statutory limit of $250.

 

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 $208 and $217 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts the Company’s customers are invoiced and do not bear interest. The Company has adopted a policy consistent with GAAP for the periodic review of its accounts receivable to determine whether the establishment of an allowance for credit losses is warranted based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of the accounts. The Company established an allowance for credit losses of $1,976 and $1,948 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company also has, in some instances, a security interest in its accounts receivable until payment is received.

10


 

 

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost or the fair market value at the date of acquisition for property and equipment acquired in connection with the acquisition of a company. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation of property, and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $2,303 and $462, respectively.

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.

A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. Such liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. 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.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accrued warranties were $1,816 and $1,916, respectively.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $187 and $110 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred and (2) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.

The Company records identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets recognized.

 

Noncontrolling Interest

 

A noncontrolling interest is the equity interest of consolidated entities that is not owned by the Company. Noncontrolling interest is adjusted for the noncontrolling partners' share of earnings (losses) in accordance with the applicable agreement. Earnings allocated to such noncontrolling partners are recorded as income applicable to noncontrolling interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Share-based Compensation

 

The Company has elected to account for restricted stock awards with market conditions using a graded vesting method. This method recognizes the compensation cost in the statement of operations over the requisite service period for each separately-vesting tranche of awards.

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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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.

4. Fair Value Measurements

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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 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).

The 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 intermediary 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

 

The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency would be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. The forward currency exchange contracts that the Company has to offset existing assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency have been determined not to be considered a hedge under ASC 815-10. The Company records the forward currency exchange contracts at its market value with any associated gain or loss being

13


 

recorded in current earnings. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to forward currency contracts are included in current earnings and are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the other income (expense) section on the line titled foreign currency transaction gain or loss. Items denominated in other than a reporting unit functional currency include certain intercompany receivables due from the Company’s Italian subsidiaries and accounts receivable and accounts payable of our Italian subsidiaries and their subsidiaries.

 

PM Group has an intercompany receivable denominated in Euros from its Chilean subsidiary. At March 31, 2023, the Company had entered into a forward currency exchange contract that matures on May 31, 2023. Under this contract the Company was obligated to sell 2,400,000 Chilean pesos for 2,841 Euros. The purpose of the forward contract was to mitigate the income effect related to this intercompany receivable that results with a change in exchange rate between the Euro and the Chilean peso.

 

The 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

9. Accrued Warranty

 

The liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale and the expense is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in Cost of Sales. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. 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 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.

U.S. Credit Facilities and Term Loan

 

On April 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Commercial Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and Amarillo National Bank. The Credit Agreement provides for a $40,000 revolving credit facility, a $30,000 revolving credit facility and a $15,000 term loan.

Borrowings under the $40,000 revolving credit facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.5%. The $40,000 revolving credit facility requires monthly interest payments with the full principal balance coming due at maturity. The facility originally provided for maturity on April 11, 2024. On January 25, 2023, lender agreed to extend the maturity date to April 11, 2025, with a rolling two-year maturity extension provided there is no event of default. The rolling two-year maturity extension repeats on April 11 each year following 2025 unless the lender provides 120 days’ written notice of non-extension.

 

Borrowings under the $30,000 revolving credit facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.5%. The $30,000 facility requires quarterly interest payments and principal payments in the amount of 3% of the outstanding balance thereunder on a quarterly basis beginning on January 1, 2023. The facility originally provided for maturity on April 11, 2024. On January 25, 2023, the maturity date was extended to April 11, 2025.

 

The term loan requires monthly interest payments at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.5% beginning on May 11, 2022. Monthly installments of principal and interest based on an 84-month amortization are payable beginning on November 11, 2022 with the remaining principal balance coming due at maturity on October 11, 2029.

The unused balance of the revolving credit facilities incurs a 0.125% fee that is payable semi-annually. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $49,223 and $41,521 in borrowings under the revolving credit facilities and $14,309 and $14,721 in borrowings under the term loan.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00 measured on the last day of each calendar quarter, beginning June 30, 2022, and each measurement is based on a rolling 12-month basis. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a U.S. net worth of at least $80,000, measured as of the last day of each calendar quarter, beginning June 30, 2022. The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023.

11. Leases

 

The Company leases certain warehouses, office space, machinery, vehicles and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or shorter are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable 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 these lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets is limited by the expected lease term for finance leases.

 

18


 

If there was a discount rate explicit in the lease, then such discount rate was 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 were 5.8 and 5 years, respectively. The weighted average discount rate for operating and finance leases was 6.0% and 12.4% respectively.

In connection with our acquisition of Rabern, the Company became the lessee of four locations from HTS Management LLC (“HTS”), an entity controlled by Steven Berner, who is a key member of Rabern management. HTS operates as a holding company for property and as a single lessor leasing company for business use property for Rabern. HTS’s ongoing activities preceding and succeeding the Rabern acquisition relate to financing, purchasing, leasing and holding property leased to Rabern.

12. Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $13, which includes a discrete income tax provision of $16. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily consists of a discrete income tax expense for the accrual of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $132, which includes a discrete income tax expense of $19. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily consists of foreign income taxes and a discrete income tax expense for the accrual of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was an income tax provision of 100% on pretax loss of $13 compared to an income tax provision of 36.5% on a pretax income of $362 in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a valuation allowance in the U.S. and a partial valuation allowance in Italy, nondeductible permanent differences, income taxed in foreign jurisdictions at varying tax rates, and an accrual of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

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 $329 and $228 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additional compensation expense related to restricted stock units will be $698, $713 and $263 for the remainder of 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

 

Restricted Stock Award with Market Conditions

 

On May 3, 2022, in connection with J. Michael Coffey’s appointment as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as of April 11, 2022, he was granted 490,000 restricted stock units that vest upon attainment of certain stock price hurdles of the Company’s stock. The restricted stock units can only be received on an annual basis from the vesting start date. The fair value of the market conditions award was $2.2 million calculated by using the Monte Carlo Simulation based on the average of 20,000 simulation runs. The requisite service period used was three years, expected volatility was 60% and the risk-free rate of return was 2.95%. The value of the restricted stock units granted to Mr. Coffey is being charged to compensation expense over the requisite service period. Under ASC 718-10-35-2, compensation cost for the award of share-based compensation is recognized over the derived service periods (the time from the service inception date to the expected date of satisfaction) of either 12 or 24 months depending on the particular tranche based on the median number of days it takes for the award to vest in scenarios where they meet their threshold. Compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $371 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Additional compensation expense related to Mr. Coffey’s restricted stock units will be $657 and $231 for the remainder of 2023 and 2024, respectively.

 

Restricted Stock Award with Market and Performance Conditions

 

On May 3, 2022, in connection with his appointment, Mr. Coffey was also granted 100,000 restricted stock units that vest upon a change in control in which the per share consideration for the Company’s common stock exceeds $10.00. The fair value of the market and performance conditions award was $481, calculated by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The requisite service period used for the calculation was three years, expected volatility was 60% and the risk-free rate of return was 2.95%. The fair value of stock-based compensation for market and performance conditions will be recognized in the Company’s financial statements only if it is probable that the conditions will be satisfied.

 

Stock Options

 

On May 3, 2022, in connection with his appointment, Mr. Coffey was also granted 100,000 stock options with an exercise price of $4.13 per share. The options vest ratably on each of the first three anniversary dates of Mr. Coffey’s appointment date, subject to his continued service with the Company on each vesting date. Compensation expense related to the Company’s stock options was $66 for the three

months ended March 31, 2023. Additional compensation expense related to Mr. Coffey’s options will be $93, $67 and $13 for the remainder of 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

15. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, employment related issues, and workers’ compensation matters that have arisen in the normal course of operations. The Company has product liability insurance with self-insurance retentions that range from $50 to $500.

 

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 to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur. Certain cases are at a preliminary stage, and it is not possible to estimate the amount or timing of any cost to the Company for these cases. However, the Company does not believe that these contingencies, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

The Company has been named as a defendant in several multi-defendant asbestos related product liability lawsuits. 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.

 

On May 5, 2011, Company entered into two separate settlement agreements with two plaintiffs. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has a remaining obligation under these agreements to pay the plaintiffs $855 without interest in 9 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.

 

The Company has accrued $335 for settling a litigation matter involving a product liability case. In addition, the Company has recorded a charge of $487 for the estimated withdrawal liability for pension payments that it may owe under a collective bargaining agreement with the unions. These amounts are recorded in other expense in the Statement of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

 

16. Transactions between the Company and Related Parties

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

C&M conducts business with RAM P&E LLC for the purposes of obtaining parts business as well as buying, selling and renting equipment.

C&M is a distributor of Terex rough terrain and truck cranes. As such, C&M purchases cranes and parts from Terex.

PM is a manufacturer of cranes. PM sold cranes, parts, and accessories to Tadano during 2023.

 

Rabern rents heavy duty and light duty commercial construction equipment, mainly to commercial contractors on a short-term rental basis. Rabern sold a fixed asset to Steven Berner, the general manager of Rabern, in April 2022, in connection with the Rabern acquisition.

 

In 2022, the Company became the lessee of four buildings from HTS Management LLC (“HTS”), an entity controlled by Mr. Berner, who is a key member of Rabern management. HTS operates as a holding company for property and as a single lessee leasing company for business use property for Rabern. HTS’s ongoing activities preceding and succeeding the Rabern acquisition relate to financing, purchasing, leasing and holding property leased to Rabern. Based on these activities, HTS would be subject to interest rate risk and real estate investment pricing risk related to holding the real estate as an investment. These risks represent the potential variability to be considered as passed to interest holders. Although we have a variable interest through our relationship with Mr. Berner, such variability is not passed on to Rabern in connection with the arrangement, and therefore Rabern is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

23


 

 

Furthermore, all risks and benefits of the significant activities of HTS are passed to Mr. Berner directly and do not represent a direct or an indirect obligation for Rabern.

 

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had accounts receivable and payable with related parties as shown below:

Note 17. Restructuring

 

On January 12, 2022, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring”) that will result in the closure of its Badger facility in Winona, Minnesota. As part of the Restructuring, the Company intends to move the manufacturing of its straight mast boom cranes and aerial platforms produced in Winona, Minnesota, to its Georgetown, Texas, facility. The Restructuring is expected to be completed during 2023.

 

Note 18. Business Combination

 

On April 11, 2022, Manitex entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Rabern and Steven Berner. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired a 70% membership interest in Rabern for a purchase price of approximately $26 million in cash plus assumed debt of $14 million, subject to the various adjustments, escrows and other provisions of the Purchase Agreement. The Rabern acquisition closed on April 11, 2022. A total of $1.5 million of the purchase price is held in escrow for various purposes, as described in the Purchase Agreement. Rabern is a construction equipment rental provider established in

24


 

1984 and primarily serves Northern Texas. The president and founder of Rabern, Steven Berner, retained a 30% ownership interest and continues to run the operation as a stand-alone division of the Company. The purchase price is subject to adjustments based on the final calculation of working capital and the net book value of the rental fleet as of the date of the acquisition. The Company financed the acquisition by borrowings on the Company’s line of credit and a term loan.

 

The acquisition of Rabern was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. The preliminary fair value of the consideration transferred at the acquisition date was $40.5 million. Adjustments to the valuation of Rabern’s assets and liabilities may be materially different due to possible changes as the purchase price allocation is completed.

The financial results of Rabern beginning on April 11, 2022 are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and are reported in the Rental Equipment segment.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocations for the Rabern acquisition as of March 31, 2023:

The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using the relief from royalty approach and multi-period excess earnings method for trademarks and customer relationships, respectively. Fixed asset values were estimated using either the cost or market approach. Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The Rabern acquisition was structured as a taxable purchase of 70% of a partnership interest whereby Manitex and Mr. Berner subsequently contributed their respective membership interest in Rabern to a newly formed Delaware corporation. The partnership will make an IRC Section 754 Election which will give Manitex Section 743(b) step-up in the tax basis in the partnership assets for its acquired membership interest.

 

 

Note 19. Segment Information

 

The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, for making decisions about the allocation of resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable operating segments.

 

The Company is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions and equipment rentals. The Company operates in two business segments: the Lifting Equipment segment and the Rental Equipment segment.

 

Lifting Equipment Segment

 

The Lifting Equipment segment is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions. The Company manufactures a comprehensive line of boom trucks, articulating cranes, truck cranes and sign cranes. The Company is also a manufacturer of specialized rough terrain cranes and material handling products.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Net revenues and gross profit

Net revenues increased $7.5 million or 12.3% to $67.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with $60.4 million for the comparable period in 2022. The increase in revenues is primarily due to the acquisition of Rabern, which generated $6.8 million of revenue for the period and increases in sales of articulated cranes by the Company’s PM business, partially offset by lower chassis sales.

 

28


 

Gross profit increased $4.3 million to $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $10.1 million for the comparable period in 2022. The increase in gross profit is attributable to increases in revenues due to the Rabern acquisition and increases in sales of articulated cranes. The gross margin percentage was 21.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared with 16.8% for the prior year, an increase of 440 basis points. The increase in gross profit percentage is primarily driven by higher margins generated by the Rabern business and product mix and improved absorption from the Lifting Segment.

 

Research and development — Research and development expense was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2022. The Company’s research and development spending reflects our continued commitment to develop and introduce new products, with the costs generated particularly in the PM and Valla business units, that give the Company a competitive advantage.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense — SG&A expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $11.0 million compared to $8.8 million for the comparable period in 2022. The increases are primarily related to SG&A expense of $1.4 million related to the Rabern acquisition, which occurred in the second quarter of 2022, costs related to attending the Con Expo trade show of $0.8 million and increased stock compensation of $0.5 million, partially offset by lower transaction costs which were incurred in Q1 2022.

 

Interest expense —Interest expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $0.5 million for the comparable period in 2022. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to higher revolver borrowings and term debt added in connection with the Rabern acquisition and higher interest rates on the credit facilities.

Foreign currency transaction losses — For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had foreign currency loss of $0.1 million, consistent with a loss of $0.1 million for the comparable period in 2022. A substantial portion of the loss relates to changes in the Chilean peso.

Other income (expense) — Other expense was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with other income of $0.3 million for the same period in 2022. The expense in 2023 relates to a pension settlement obligation of $0.5 million related to the termination of services provided by union members and $0.3 million of legal settlement charges. The amount for 2022 relates to the reversal of a previously recorded contingent liability.

 

Income taxes — For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax provision of less than $0.1 million. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily consists of a discrete income tax expense for the accrual of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.1 million. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily consists of foreign income taxes and a discrete tax expense for the accrual of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was an income tax provision of 100% on pretax loss of less than $0.1 million compared to an income tax provision of 36.5% on a pretax income of $0.4 million in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the valuation allowance in the U.S. and a partial valuation allowance in Italy, nondeductible permanent differences, income taxed in foreign jurisdictions at varying tax rates and an accrual of interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The global economy generally and our customers and suppliers specifically are being significantly impacted by a number of factors, including the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing inflation and interest rates and general economic uncertainty. While the potential negative financial impact that these factors will have on our results of operations and liquidity position cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, such impacts 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 11, 2022, the Company entered into an $85 million credit facility with Amarillo National Bank consisting of a working capital facility of $40 million secured by assets of Manitex U.S. businesses, working capital facility of $30 million secured by assets of Rabern, and $15 million term loan facility. This new banking facility provided the funds for the Rabern acquisition and working capital facilities for both the Manitex U.S. and Rabern businesses. At March 31, 2023, the PM Group had established working capital facilities with five Italian, one Spanish, twelve South American banks and one Romanian bank. Under these facilities, the PM Group can borrow $25 million against orders, invoices and letters of credit.

 

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $10.1 million and $8.2 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, the Company had global liquidity of approximately $36 million based on the cash balance and availability under its working capital facilities. Future advances are dependent on having available collateral.

29


 

 

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.

The Company expects cash flows from operations and existing availability under the current revolving credit and working capital 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.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable.

 

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022

 

 

Operating Activities - For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash flow used in operating activities was $1.5 million compared to cash used in operating activities of $6.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Cash used by working capital was $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to cash used by working capital of $5.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily related to inventory to meet increasing demand and backlog.

 

Investing Activities - Cash used in investing activities was $2.4 million in the first three months of 2023, compared to $0.6 million used in investing activities in the same period a year ago. Cash used in the three month period ended March 31, 2023 was primarily related to cash payments for property and equipment purchases of $2.5 million. Cash used in the three month period March 31, 2022 was related to cash payments for property and equipment and investment in intangible assets.

Financing Activities - Cash provided by financing activities was an inflow of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 which included an increase in borrowings on the revolving credit facility of $7.7 million and working capital borrowing of $1.5 million, primarily to fund purchases of inventory to meet increasing backlog and fixed assets to support the rental segment. Cash provided by financing activities was an inflow of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 which included an increase in working capital borrowing of $2.2 million and borrowings for insurance agreements and finance leases of $0.9 million, offset by repayments of notes of $0.6 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s critical accounting policies have not materially changed since the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was filed. 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, 2022 for a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies.
