THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

1. Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (“Manitowoc,” “MTW” or the “Company”) was founded in 1902 and has over a 117-year tradition of providing high-quality, customer-focused products and support services to its markets. Manitowoc is one of the world’s leading providers of engineered lifting solutions. Manitowoc, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, designs, manufactures, markets, and supports comprehensive product lines of mobile telescopic cranes, tower cranes, lattice-boom crawler cranes, and boom trucks under the Grove, Manitowoc, National Crane, Potain, Shuttlelift and Manitowoc Crane Care brand names. The Company serves a wide variety of customers, including dealers, rental companies, contractors, and government entities, across the petrochemical, industrial, commercial construction, power and utilities, infrastructure and residential construction end markets. Additionally, the Company’s Manitowoc Crane Care offering leverages Manitowoc's installed base of approximately 149,000 cranes to provide aftermarket parts and services to enable its customers to manage their fleets more effectively and improve their return on investment. Due to the ongoing and predictable maintenance needed by cranes, as well as the high cost of crane downtime, Manitowoc Crane Care provides the Company with a consistent stream of recurring revenue.

The Company has three reportable segments, the Americas segment, Europe and Africa (“EURAF”) segment and Middle East and Asia Pacific (“MEAP”) segment. The segments were identified using the “management approach,” which designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Refer to Note 17, “Segments” for additional information.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income and equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the cash flows for the same nine-month periods and the financial position at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and except as otherwise discussed, such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year and do not contain information included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2019. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations dealing with interim financial statements. However, the Company believes that the disclosures made in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

All amounts, except share and per share amounts, are in millions throughout the tables in these notes unless otherwise indicated.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

There is considerable uncertainty regarding the future impact and expected duration of the COVID-19 pandemic which could include restrictions on the Company’s access to its facilities or on its support operations or workforce, or similar limitations impacting its customers, dealers and suppliers. This uncertainty could have an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s third quarter financial results, including, but not limited to, impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, income tax provision, recoverability of inventory and hedge accounting with respect to forecasted future transactions.

2. Recent Accounting Changes and Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12 “Income Taxes (“Topic 740”) (“ASU 2019-12”).” ASU 2019-12 simplifies accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance, including the recognition of deferred taxes for goodwill, the allocation of taxes to members of a consolidated group and requiring that an entity reflect the effect of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 will not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-use Software (Subtopic 250-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”).” The amendments in ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”),” 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 new guidance is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, net investments in leases and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The standard was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in a $0.2 million reduction in beginning retained earnings and a corresponding reduction in accounts receivable on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020. There was no material impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

3. Revenues

The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of satisfying the performance obligation. The table below shows the change in the customer advances balance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 which are included in current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020			2019			2020			2019
Balance at beginning of period	$	15.8		$	10.6		$	25.8		$	9.6
Cash received in advance of satisfying performance obligation		26.9			25.4			71.7			75.6
Revenue recognized		(19.8	)		(26.1	)		(73.9	)		(75.5	)

Balance at end of period	$	23.1		$	9.7		$	23.1		$	9.7

Disaggregation of the Company’s revenue sources are disclosed in Note 17, “Segments.”

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

	Fair Value as of September 30, 2020
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Recognized Location
Forward currency exchange contracts	$	—	$	0.1	$	—	$	0.1	Other current assets

	Fair Value as of December 31, 2019
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Recognized Location
Forward currency exchange contracts	$	—	$	0.1	$	—	$	0.1	Other current assets
Forward currency exchange contracts		—		0.1		—		0.1	Accounts payable and accrued expenses

The fair value of the senior secured second lien notes due on April 1, 2026, with an annual coupon rate of 9.000% (the “2026 Notes”), was approximately $310.5 million as of September 30, 2020. See Note 11, “Debt,” for a description of the 2026 Notes and the related carrying value.

The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its 2026 Notes based on quoted market prices; because these markets are typically actively traded, the liabilities are classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term variable debt approximate fair value, without being discounted as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Forward currency exchange contracts (“FX Forward Contracts”) are valued through an independent valuation source which uses an industry standard data provider, with resulting valuations periodically validated through third-party or counterparty quotes. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2. See Note 5, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s risk management objective is to ensure that business exposures to risks are minimized using the most effective and efficient methods to eliminate, reduce, or transfer such exposures. Operating decisions consider these associated risks and, whenever possible, transactions are structured to avoid or mitigate these risks.

From time to time, the Company enters into FX Forward Contracts to manage the exposure on forecasted transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and to manage the risk of transaction gains and losses associated with assets/liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. Certain of these FX Forward Contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the derivatives’ fair value are not included in current earnings but are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. These changes in fair value are reclassified into earnings as a component of cost of sales, as applicable, when the forecasted transaction impacts earnings. In addition, if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative change in the derivatives’ fair value is recorded as a component of other income (expense) – net in the period in which the transaction is no longer considered probable of occurring. No amounts were recorded related to these types of transactions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company had FX Forward Contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $2.2 million and $32.6 million outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The aggregate notional amount outstanding as of September 30, 2020 is scheduled to mature within one year. The FX Forward Contracts purchased are denominated in various foreign currencies. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the net fair value of these contracts was a net current asset of $0.1 million and a net zero balance, respectively. There was $0.1 million and zero unrealized gains, net of income tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The following table provides the amount of gain or loss recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for FX Forward Contracts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

		Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total inventories		580.0			512.0
Excess and obsolete inventory reserve		(53.3	)		(50.6	)
Inventories — net	$	526.7		$	461.4

7. Notes Receivable

The Company has notes receivable balances that are classified as current or long-term based on the timing of amounts due. Long-term notes receivable are included within other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Current and long-term notes receivable balances primarily relate to the Company’s captive finance entity in China. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had current and long-term notes receivable in the amount of $14.3 million and $13.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had current and long-term notes receivable in the amount of $17.4 million and $16.3 million, respectively.

8. Property, Plant and Equipment

The components of property, plant and equipment as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
Land	$	23.9		$	24.0

9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company performs an annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company considered the decline in its market capitalization due to the COVID-19 pandemic as an interim triggering event. The Company’s interim test results as of March 31, 2020 indicated that the fair values of all reporting units exceeded their carrying values and thus, no impairment of goodwill existed. No additional triggers for an interim impairment test have been identified since March 31, 2020. However, the Company is unable to predict future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a prolonged and/or more severe pandemic than anticipated, or future changes in management’s judgements and assumptions used to assess the fair value of the reporting units, which could result in a non-cash impairment charge in the future.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are summarized as follows:

	Americas		MEAP			Consolidated
Balance as of January 1, 2019	$	166.5	$	66.3		$	232.8
Foreign currency impact		—		(0.3	)		(0.3	)
Balance as of December 31, 2019		166.5		66.0			232.5
Foreign currency impact		—		0.7			0.7
Balance as of September 30, 2020	$	166.5	$	66.7		$	233.2

The gross carrying amount, accumulated amortization and net book value of the Company’s intangible assets other than goodwill as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2020							December 31, 2019
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Book Value		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Book Value
Definite lived intangible assets:
Customer relationships	$	9.8	$	(8.5	)	$	1.3	$	10.0	$	(8.5	)	$	1.5
Patents		30.2		(29.4	)		0.8		29.5		(28.7	)		0.8
Total		40.0		(37.9	)		2.1		39.5		(37.2	)		2.3
Indefinite lived intangible assets:

Total		116.7		—			116.7		114.0		—			114.0
Total other intangible assets	$	156.7	$	(37.9	)	$	118.8	$	153.5	$	(37.2	)	$	116.3

Other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was zero. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.2 million.

Definite lived intangible assets and long-lived assets are subject to impairment testing whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each of the Company’s definite lived intangible assets and long-lived assets. The Company determined there was not a triggering event during the third quarter of 2020.

10. Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

Outstanding debt as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
Borrowings under senior secured asset based revolving credit facility	$	—		$	—
Senior secured second lien notes due 2026		300.0			300.0

Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt		(3.7	)		(3.8	)
Long-term debt	$	306.8		$	308.4

On March 25, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an indenture with U.S. Bank National Association as trustee and notes collateral agent, pursuant to which the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount senior secured second lien notes due on April 1, 2026 with an annual coupon rate of 9.000%. Interest on the 2026 Notes is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The 2026 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries

that is either a guarantor or a borrower under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) or that guarantees certain other debt of the Company or a guarantor. The 2026 Notes and the related guarantees are secured on a second-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, by pledges of capital stock and other equity interests and other security interests in substantially all of the personal property and fee-owned real property of the Company and of the guarantors that secure obligations under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. The 2026 Notes were sold pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

Additionally, on March 25, 2019, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Loan Parties”) entered into a credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A as administrative and collateral agent, and certain financial institutions party thereto as lenders, providing for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $275.0 million. The borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of inventory, accounts receivable and fixed assets of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties’ obligations under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are secured on a first-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, by substantially all of the personal property and fee-owned real property of the Loan Parties. The liens securing the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are senior in priority to the second-priority liens securing the obligations under the 2026 Notes and the related guarantees. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility has a term of 5 years and includes a $75.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, $10.0 million of which is available to the Company’s German subsidiary that is a borrower under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate using either the Alternative Base Rate or the Eurodollar and Overnight London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The variable interest rate is based upon the average availability as of the most recent determination date as follows:

Average quarterly availability	Alternative base rate spread	Eurodollar and overnight LIBOR spread
≥ 50% of Aggregate Commitment	0.25%	1.25%
< 50% of Aggregate Commitment	0.50%	1.50%

The Company used the initial extension of credit under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, together with the net proceeds from the offering of the 2026 Notes, to (i) redeem all of the Company’s $260.0 million in outstanding 12.750% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 (the “Prior 2021 Notes”); (ii) repay all obligations outstanding, and terminate all commitments, under (x) the Company’s previous $225.0 million ABL Revolving Credit Facility (“Prior ABL Facility”) and (y) $75.0 million AR Securitization Facility; and (iii) pay related fees and expenses, including $16.6 million of call premium on the Prior 2021 Notes, $5.0 million of closing costs and $4.6 million of accrued interest.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $25.0 million charge in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations associated with the Company’s refinancing of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and 2026 Notes. The charge was composed of $16.6 million of call premium on the Prior 2021 Notes, $5.3 million of unamortized discount on the Prior 2021 Notes and $3.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had other indebtedness outstanding of $14.5 million that had a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 3.96%. This debt includes balances on local credit lines and other financing arrangements.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the Company had no borrowings on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the highest daily borrowing under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility was $50.0 million and the average amount borrowed was $25.5 million, while the average annual interest rate was 1.71%. The interest rate spread of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility fluctuates based on excess availability. As of September 30, 2020, the spreads for LIBOR and prime rate borrowings were 1.25% and 0.25%, respectively, with excess availability of approximately $258.2 million, which represents revolver borrowing capacity of $261.2 million less U.S. letters of credit outstanding of $3.0 million.

Both the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the 2026 Notes include customary covenants which include, without limitation, restrictions on, the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to incur, assume or guarantee additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of the Company’s capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens on certain assets to secure debt, consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and designate the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted. Both the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the 2026 Notes also include customary events of default. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material adverse change in the Company’s business or financial condition since December 31, 2018.

Additionally, the ABL Revolving Credit Facility contains a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants in its debt instruments, inclusive of the financial covenants pertaining to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and 2026 Notes. Based upon management’s current plans and outlook, the Company believes it will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent twelve months.

12. Accounts Receivable Securitization and Other Factoring Arrangements

The Company had maintained a Receivables Purchase Agreement (“RPA”) among Manitowoc Funding, LLC (“MTW Funding”), as Seller, The Manitowoc Company, Inc., as Servicer, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Purchaser and as Agent, with a commitment size of $75.0 million. Under the RPA (and the related Purchase and Sale Agreements referenced in the RPA), the Company’s domestic trade accounts receivable were sold to MTW Funding which, in turn, sold, conveyed, transferred and assigned to a third-party financial institution (“Purchaser”), all of MTW Funding’s rights, title and interest in a pool of receivables to the Purchaser. Transactions under the program were accounted for as sales in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” (“Topic 860”). This program was terminated on March 25, 2019.

Trade accounts receivable sold to the Purchaser and being serviced by the Company totaled zero and $149.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Cash proceeds received from customers related to the receivables previously sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were zero and $182.8 million, respectively.

Proceeds received from the sale of trade receivables under the program were included in cash flows from operating activities; whereas cash collections related to the deferred purchase price were classified as cash flows from investing activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company has two non-U.S. accounts receivable financing programs with maximum availability of €55.0 million. Under these financing programs, the Company has the ability to sell eligible receivables up to the maximum limit and can sell additional receivables as previously sold receivables are collected. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold receivables and received cash of €103.5 million. The Company also has one U.S. accounts receivable financing program with maximum availability of $35.0 million. Transactions under the U.S. and non-U.S. programs were accounted for as sales in accordance with Topic 860.

13. Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $7.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $9.6 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily relates to additional tax expense in foreign jurisdictions. The decrease in the Company’s tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 relative to the prior year relates primarily to the year-to-date discrete tax benefit recorded. This was partially offset by additional tax expense in foreign jurisdictions.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act allowed the Company to implement certain U.S. tax planning strategies which resulted in the Company filing an amended 2018 tax return during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and recognized a net tax benefit of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company will continue to evaluate its valuation allowance requirements on an ongoing basis considering changing facts and circumstances and may adjust its deferred tax asset valuation allowances accordingly. It is reasonably possible that the Company will either add to or reverse a portion of its existing deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future. Such changes will be reflected in the Company’s income tax provision and could have a material effect on financial results.

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $22.7 million and $11.5 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase primarily relates to $10.9 million from the uncertainty of a portion of the U.S. federal tax planning strategies implemented as a result of the CARES Act recorded year-to-date. It is reasonably possible that the Company will reverse a portion of its unrecognized tax benefits in the future. Such changes will be reflected in the Company’s income tax provision and could have a material effect on financial results.

14. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted income (loss) per common share:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		34,538,814		35,348,597		34,730,623		35,527,971
Effect of dilutive securities		—		110,359		—		158,860
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		34,538,814		35,458,956		34,730,623		35,686,831

Equity incentive instruments for which total employee proceeds from exercise exceed the average fair value of the same equity incentive instrument over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share during periods with net income, and accordingly, are excluded from diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Due to the net loss incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the assumed exercise of all equity instruments was anti-dilutive and, therefore, not included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for those periods. Anti-dilutive equity instruments of 1,528,910 and 1,544,379 common shares were excluded from diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

No cash dividends were declared or paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

15. Equity

Authorized capital consists of 75.0 million shares of $0.01 par value common stock and 3.5 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. None of the preferred shares have been issued.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company has authorization from the Board of Directors to purchase up to $30.0 million of the Company’s common stock at management’s discretion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 1,061,711 of the Company’s common shares for $12.0 million under this authorization. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company suspended its share repurchase program to preserve its liquidity and manage cash flows. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has $10.6 million remaining under this authorization.

A reconciliation of the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income tax, by component for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are summarized as follows:

16. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity compensation awards may be granted to certain eligible employees or non-employee directors. A detailed description of the awards granted prior to 2020 is included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for awards under the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”) is 7,477,395 shares. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock still available for issuance as of September 30, 2020 is 4,726,107 shares.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded stock-based compensation (income) expense of $(0.5) million of which $2.0 million of expense was recorded in engineering, selling and administrative expense and $2.5 million of income was recorded in restructuring expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $5.4 million, of which $7.9 million of expense was recorded in engineering, selling and administrative expense and $2.5 million of income was recorded in restructuring expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Income recorded in restructuring expense was primarily related to the forfeiture of grants associated with employee separation agreements. Stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $2.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively, which was recorded in engineering, selling and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the award’s vesting period, subject to retirement, death or disability provisions of the 2013 Plan.

No options to acquire shares of common stock were granted to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Options to acquire 250,432 and 210,243 shares of common stock were granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The options granted become exercisable in three annual increments over a three-year period beginning on the grant date and expire 10 years subsequent to the grant date.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, no restricted stock units were granted to employees. A total of 305,519 and 178,371 restricted stock units, respectively, were granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The restricted stock units granted to employees vest in three annual increments over a three-year period beginning on the grant date.

No performance shares were granted to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. A total of 328,310 and 228,037 performance shares were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Performance shares vest after three years and are earned based on the extent to which performance goals are met over the applicable performance period. The performance goals and the applicable performance period vary for each grant year. The performance goals for the performance shares granted in 2020 are based on the 3-year average of the Company’s adjusted EBITDA percentage from continuing operations from 2020 to 2022 with a +/-20% modifier based on total shareholder return relative to a defined peer group of companies during the three-year performance period, not to exceed 200% of target shares granted. The performance goals for the performance shares granted in 2019 are based 50% on total shareholder return relative to a defined peer group of companies during the three-year performance period and 50% on the Company’s adjusted EBITDA percentage from continuing operations in 2021. Depending on the foregoing factors, the number of shares earned could range from zero to two times the amount of performance shares outstanding on the vesting date.

No equity compensation awards were granted to directors during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. A total of 77,608 and 50,673 equity compensation awards were granted to directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The 2020 and 2019 equity compensation awards vested immediately upon the grant date.

17. Segments

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 (“CODM”), for making decisions about the allocation of resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable operating segments.

The Company has three reportable segments: Americas, EURAF, and MEAP. The Americas operating segment includes the North America and South America continents. The EURAF operating segment includes the Europe and Africa continents, excluding the Middle East region. The MEAP operating segment includes the Asia and Australia continents and the Middle East region.

The CODM evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on net sales and operating income. Segment net sales are recognized in the geographic region the product is sold. Operating income for each segment includes net sales to third parties, cost of sales directly attributable to the segment, and operating expenses directly attributable to the segment. Manufacturing variances generated within each operating segment are maintained in each segment’s operating income. Operating income for each segment excludes other income and expense and certain expenses managed outside the operating segments. Costs excluded from segment operating income include various corporate expenses such as stock-based compensation expenses, income taxes, nonrecurring charges and other separately managed general and administrative costs. The Company does not include intercompany sales between segments for management reporting purposes. The Company’s operating segments were identified as its reportable segments.

The following table shows information by reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

18. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising out of the normal course of business, which, taking into account the liabilities accrued and legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

As of September 30, 2020, various product-related lawsuits were pending. To the extent permitted under applicable law, all of these lawsuits are insured with self-insurance retention levels. The Company’s self-insurance retention levels vary by business and have fluctuated over the last 10 years. As of September 30, 2020, the largest self-insured retention level for new occurrences currently maintained by the Company is $2.0 million per occurrence and applies to product liability claims for cranes manufactured in the United States.

Product liability reserves, recorded within other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $12.2 million and $12.8 million, respectively. These reserves were estimated using a combination of actual case reserves and actuarial methods. Based on the Company’s experience in defending product liability claims, management believes the current reserves are adequate for estimated case resolutions on aggregate self-insured claims and insured claims. Any recoveries from insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims and solvency of insurance carriers.

The Company is involved in numerous lawsuits involving asbestos-related claims in which the Company is one of numerous defendants. After taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluation of such actions, the current political environment with respect to asbestos related claims, and the liabilities accrued with respect to such matters, in the opinion of management, ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had reserved $59.8 million and $60.6 million, respectively, for warranty claims included in product warranties and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of these warranty and other related claims involve legal matters in dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration, or litigation. See Note 19, “Guarantees,” for further information.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company settled a legal matter resulting in a net $24.4 million gain. The Company recorded this settlement by recognizing income of $15.5 million in other income (expense) - net and a benefit of $8.9 million in engineering, selling and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

It is reasonably possible that the estimates for warranty costs, product liability, environmental remediation, asbestos-related claims and other various legal matters may change based upon new information that may arise or matters that are beyond the scope of the Company’s historical experience. Presently, there are no reliable methods to estimate the amount of any such potential changes.

19. Guarantees

The Company periodically enters into transactions with customers that provide for buyback commitments. The Company evaluates each agreement at inception to determine if the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise the buyback option. If it is determined that the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise that right, the revenue is deferred and the agreement is accounted for as a lease in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 – “Leases” (“Topic 842”). If it is determined that the customer does not have a significant economic incentive to exercise that right, then revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer. The revenue deferred related to buyback obligations accounted for under Topic 842 included in other current and non-current liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $32.8 million and $34.1 million, respectively. The total amount of buyback commitments given by the Company and outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $23.6 million and $17.3 million, respectively. These amounts are not reduced for amounts the Company would recover from the repossession and subsequent resale of the cranes. The buyback commitments expire at various times through 2030. The Company also has various loss guarantees with maximum liabilities of $26.2 million and $11.3 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These amounts are not reduced for amounts the Company would recover from the repossession and subsequent resale of the cranes.

In the normal course of business, the Company provides its customers a warranty covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products manufactured by the Company. Such warranties generally provide that products will be free from defects for periods ranging from 12 months to 60 months. If a product fails to comply with the Company’s warranty, the Company may be obligated, at its expense, to correct any defect by repairing or replacing such defective products. The Company provides for an estimate of costs that may be incurred under its standard warranty period at the time product revenue is recognized. These costs primarily include labor and materials, as necessary, associated with repair or replacement. The primary factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units shipped and historical and anticipated warranty claims. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The revenue deferred related to extended warranty periods included in other current and non-current liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $7.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively. Below is a table summarizing the warranty activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

20. Restructuring

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $3.9 million and $1.1 million of restructuring expense, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $5.6 million and $8.3 million of restructuring expense, respectively. Restructuring expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily related to costs associated with headcount reductions in North America, partially offset by $2.5 million of income related to the forfeiture of equity compensation awards associated with employee separation agreements. Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 related primarily to costs associated with headcount reductions in Europe and North America, partially offset by $2.5 million of income primarily related to the forfeiture of equity compensation awards associated with employee separation agreements. Expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 related primarily to costs associated with headcount reductions in Europe. Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related primarily to costs associated with headcount reductions in India, Europe and North America.

The following is a rollforward of the Company's restructuring accrual, which is included within accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

*Restructuring expense within the rollforward excludes income recorded related to the forfeiture of equity compensation awards associated with employee separation agreements which was recorded directly to restructuring expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and, therefore, did not impact the restructuring accrual.

21. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company provides certain pension, health care and death benefits to eligible retirees and their dependents. The funding mechanism for such benefits varies based on the country where the plan is located and the related plan. Eligibility for pension coverage is based on retirement qualifications for each of the related plans. Healthcare benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payments and other limitations. The Company reserves the right to modify benefits unless prohibited by country specific laws or regulations.

The components of periodic benefit cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are summarized as follows:

COVID-19 Update

The Company continues to operate all its facilities across the globe with special preventative measures designed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Despite all facilities being operational, the Company has experienced a decline in demand for its products due to COVID-19. The Company has and will continue to manage the demand decline with rolling shutdowns and reduced work schedules as needed within its facilities. In addition, future outbreaks or government mandates in response to COVID-19 could result in plant shutdowns or other actions that limit productivity or prevent the Company from delivering finished products. The Company expects the reduced demand, primarily driven by the Americas segment, and production slowdowns to have an adverse effect on financial results for the remainder of 2020. Additionally, while the Company’s supply chain has recovered to meet current demand, uncertainty related to future impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, including recent government actions in Europe, on the Company’s global supplier network could have an adverse effect on financial results for the remainder of 2020.

The future extent of the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the Company’s financial results is dependent on a number of factors, including the length and severity of the pandemic, associated government actions and the related effect on the global economy and markets in which the Company serves, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Segment Operating Performance

The Company manages its business primarily on a geographic basis. The Company’s reportable operating segments consist of the Americas, EURAF, and MEAP. Further information regarding the Company’s reportable segments can be found in Note 17, “Segments,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Americas

Americas net sales decreased 40.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $150.7 million from $251.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily from lower crane shipments due to a lower shippable backlog. The lower shippable backlog was due to lower orders in the first half of the year as a result of a decline in demand in the region primarily from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Americas operating income decreased $27.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $7.5 million from $34.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in net sales.

Americas net sales decreased 36.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $456.5 million from $721.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily from lower crane shipments due to lower demand primarily from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Americas operating income decreased $64.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $21.4 million from $85.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower net sales and additional expenses related to the triennial ConExpo tradeshow held in March 2020. This was partially offset by $4.3 million of lower other engineering, selling and administrative expenses and $1.8 million of lower restructuring expense.

EURAF

EURAF net sales increased 11.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $154.7 million from $139.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the timing of crane shipments as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and $6.4 million from favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

EURAF operating income increased $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $7.3 million from $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This was primarily due to the increase in net sales.

EURAF net sales decreased 13.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $413.1 million from $476.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower crane shipments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and $0.3 million from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

EURAF operating income decreased $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $2.5 million from $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in net sales and $9.9 million of period costs recognized in the first half of the year from underutilized manufacturing facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was partially offset by $8.0 million of lower engineering, selling and administrative expenses and $2.4 million of lower restructuring expenses.

MEAP

MEAP net sales decreased 13.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $50.2 million from $57.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower crane shipments within the commercial construction end market. This was partially offset by approximately $1.3 million in favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

MEAP operating income increased $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $7.8 million from $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to favorable product mix and $1.7 million in lower engineering, selling and administrative expenses, which was partially offset by the decrease in net sales.

MEAP net sales decreased 17.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $143.5 million from $173.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower shipments of cranes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. MEAP net sales were also unfavorably impacted by approximately $1.5 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

MEAP operating income increased $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $20.7 million from $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to $5.1 million in lower engineering, selling and administrative expenses in addition to $2.2 million in lower restructuring expense. This was partially offset by the decrease in net sales.

Net Sales, Orders and Backlog

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased 20.6% to $355.6 million from $448.0 million in the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily from lower crane shipments due to a lower shippable backlog. The lower shippable backlog was due to lower orders in the first half of the year as a result of a decline in demand from the COVID-19 pandemic. This was partially offset by $7.4 million from favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased 26.1% to $1,013.1 million from $1,370.7 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily from lower crane shipments due to lower demand primarily from the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales were unfavorably impacted by $2.2 million from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Orders for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased 10.5% to $389.9 million from $352.8 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in orders was primarily attributable to higher demand within the Americas and MEAP segments. Orders were favorably impacted by $6.2 million from favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

As of September 30, 2020, total backlog was $464.8 million, a 0.4% decrease from the September 30, 2019 backlog of $466.5 million. Backlog was unfavorably impacted by a decline in demand in the Americas segment primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by higher backlog in the EURAF and MEAP segments and $15.3 million from favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $65.1 million, a decrease of $23.3 million compared to $88.4 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in net sales. Gross profit was also impacted by $1.5 million from favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Gross profit percentage decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 18.3% from 19.7% in the same period in 2019 primarily due to lower production levels from reduced demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $176.7 million, a decrease of $87.1 million compared to $263.8 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in net sales and period costs from underutilized manufacturing facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross profit was also unfavorably impacted by $0.4 million from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Gross profit percentage decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 17.4% from 19.2% in the same period in 2019 primarily due to the underutilization of the Company’s manufacturing facilities from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses decreased 9.7% to $49.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $54.8 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower short-term incentive compensation costs, reduced discretionary spending and a decrease in wages and benefits due to headcount reductions primarily in North America. Engineering, selling and administrative expenses were unfavorably impacted by $1.0 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses decreased 5.8% to $155.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $164.7 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower short-term incentive compensation costs, reduced discretionary spending and a decrease in wages and benefits due to cost reductions primarily in North America. This was partially offset by a $8.9 million benefit recorded in 2019 related to the settlement of a legal matter. Engineering, selling and administrative expenses were also favorably impacted by $0.8 million from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Restructuring Expense

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $3.9 million and $1.1 million of restructuring expense, respectively. Restructuring expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 related primarily to costs associated with headcount reductions in North America. Restructuring expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 related primarily to costs associated with headcount reductions in Europe.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $5.6 million and $8.3 million of restructuring expense, respectively. Restructuring expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 related primarily to costs associated with headcount reductions in Europe and North America. Restructuring expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related primarily to costs associated with headcount reductions in India, Europe and North America.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 remained flat year-over-year.

Interest expense was $21.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $25.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction of the average effective interest rate from 10.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 8.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in the average effective interest rate was primarily due to the refinancing of the Company’s senior secured high yield notes that occurred in the first quarter of 2019 as well as the reduction in interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt.

Refer to Note 11, “Debt” for additional information.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $25.0 million charge associated with the Company’s refinancing of the Prior ABL Facility and Prior 2021 Notes.

Other income (expense) – net during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily composed of $3.4 million of net foreign currency gains partially offset by $0.4 million of pension benefit and postretirement health costs. Other income (expense) – net during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily composed of $6.2 million of net foreign currency losses and $1.0 million of pension benefit and postretirement health costs. This was partially offset by a $3.5 million gain on the sale of the Company’s Manitowoc, Wisconsin manufacturing facility during the period.

Other income (expense) - net was $(4.3) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $8.8 million for the same period in 2019.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $7.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the Company’s provision for income taxes primarily relates to additional tax expense in certain foreign jurisdictions. In addition, the Company’s effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the results of foreign operations that are subject to income taxes at different statutory rates.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $9.6 million and $10.3 million, respectively.

The increase in working capital was primarily due to an increase in inventory of $55.3 million from December 31, 2019 and payments of incentive compensation earned in the prior year. This was partially offset by a net $13.2 million which is composed of a net loss of $20.9 million less $34.1 million of adjustments to reconcile net loss to operating cash flows from operating activities.

Cash flows used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $197.9 million and were primarily driven by trade receivables sold to the Company’s prior securitization program resulting in $126.3 million of cash flows being reported in cash provided by investing activities, $75.0 million of purchases of accounts receivable previously sold to the prior accounts receivable securitization program and net investments in working capital. This was primarily offset by $24.4 million of net cash received from the settlement of a legal matter.

Outlook

The Company continues to assess its business operations to ensure its liquidity is sufficient to meet expected working capital and other ongoing operational needs for the subsequent twelve months. The Company has and continues to preserve its liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic by managing its cash flow, such as reducing discretionary spending, suspending its share repurchase program and reducing capital expenditures. In addition, the Company suspended 2020 base salary increases for its employees and executive officers. Globally, the Company has made use of available government subsidies and other programs to aid with liquidity and employee retention and will continue to review additional programs as they become available.

Cash Sources

The Company has historically relied primarily on cash flows from operations, borrowings under revolving credit facilities, issuances of notes and other forms of debt financing as its sources of cash.

The maximum availability under the Company’s current ABL Revolving Credit Facility is $275.0 million. The borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of inventory, accounts receivable and fixed assets of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties’ obligations under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are secured on a first-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, by substantially all of the personal property and fee-owned real property of the Loan Parties. The liens securing the ABL Revolving Credit Facility are senior in priority to the second-priority liens securing the obligations under the 2026 Notes and the related guarantees. The ABL Revolving Credit Facility has a term of 5 years and includes a $75.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, $10.0 million of which is available to the Company’s German subsidiary that is a borrower under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility.

In addition to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, the Company has access to non-committed overdraft facilities to fund working capital in Europe and China. There are six facilities, of which four are denominated in Euros totaling €20.0 million, one denominated in U.S. dollars totaling $9.5 million and one denominated in Chinese Yuan totaling ¥30.0 million. Total availability as of September 30, 2020 for the six overdraft facilities is $37.4 million.

Debt

Outstanding debt as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
Senior secured asset based revolving credit facility	$	—		$	—
Senior secured second lien notes due 2026		300.0			300.0
Other debt		14.5			16.7
Deferred financing costs		(4.0	)		(4.5	)
Total debt		310.5			312.2
Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt		(3.7	)		(3.8	)
Long-term debt	$	306.8		$	308.4

Both the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and 2026 Notes include customary covenants and events of default. Refer to Note 11, “Debt,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussions of covenants for the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and 2026 Notes. Based upon management’s current plans and outlook, the Company believes it will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent twelve months.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income, which are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as additional metrics to evaluate the Company’s performance. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus the addback of certain restructuring and other charges. The Company defines adjusted operating income as adjusted EBITDA excluding the addback of depreciation and amortization. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to readers regarding business trends that can be used in evaluating its results of operations because these financial measures provide a consistent method of comparing financial performance and are commonly used by investors to assess performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered together with, and are not substitutes for, the GAAP financial information provided herein.
