NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
(In thousands, except as noted and per share amounts)
NOTE 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations: The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NACCO Industries, Inc. (the “parent company” or “NACCO”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “NACCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. NACCO is the public holding company for The North American Coal Corporation. The North American Coal Corporation and its affiliated companies (collectively, “NACoal”) operate surface mines that supply coal primarily to power generation companies under long-term contracts, and provide other value-added services to natural resource companies. In addition, its North American Mining ("NAM") business operates and maintains draglines and other equipment under contracts with sellers of aggregates.
On September 29, 2017, the Company spun-off Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company ("HBBHC"), a former wholly owned subsidiary. The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of HBBHC are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented through the date of the spin-off. See Note 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the spin-off.
NACoal has the following operating coal mining subsidiaries: Bisti Fuels Company, LLC ("Bisti"), Caddo Creek Resources Company, LLC (“Caddo Creek”), Camino Real Fuels, LLC (“Camino Real”), The Coteau Properties Company (“Coteau”), Coyote Creek Mining Company, LLC (“Coyote Creek”), Demery Resources Company, LLC (“Demery”), The Falkirk Mining Company (“Falkirk”), Mississippi Lignite Mining Company (“MLMC”) and The Sabine Mining Company (“Sabine”). Liberty Fuels Company, LLC ("Liberty") ceased all mining and delivery of lignite in 2017 and commenced mine reclamation in 2018.
All of the operating coal mining subsidiaries other than MLMC are unconsolidated (collectively, the "Unconsolidated Operations"). The unconsolidated coal mining subsidiaries were formed to develop, construct and/or operate surface coal mines under long-term contracts and are capitalized primarily with debt financing provided by or supported by their respective customers, and without recourse to NACCO and NACoal. Although NACoal owns 100% of the equity and manages the daily operations of the Unconsolidated Operations, the Company has determined that the equity capital provided by NACoal is not sufficient to adequately finance the ongoing activities or absorb any expected losses without additional support from the customers. The customers have a controlling financial interest and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entities. As a result, NACoal is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate these entities' financial positions or results of operations. The income taxes resulting from operations of the Unconsolidated Operations are solely the responsibility of the Company. The pre-tax income from the Unconsolidated Operations is reported on the line “Earnings of unconsolidated operations” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with related taxes included in the provision for income taxes. The Company has included the pre-tax earnings of the Unconsolidated Operations above operating profit as they are an integral component of the Company's business and operating results.
The contracts with the customers of the unconsolidated subsidiaries eliminate exposure to spot coal market price fluctuations and are based on a "management fee" approach, whereby compensation includes reimbursement of all operating costs, plus a fee based on the amount of coal or limestone delivered. The fees earned adjust over time in line with various indices which reflect general U.S. inflation rates.
MLMC is a consolidated entity because NACoal pays all operating costs and provides the capital for the mine. MLMC sells coal to its customer at a contractually agreed upon price which adjusts monthly, primarily based on changes in the level of established indices which reflect general U.S. inflation rates. Centennial Natural Resources, LLC ("Centennial"), which ceased coal production at the end of 2015, is also a consolidated entity.
NAM provides value-added services for independently owned limestone quarries and is reimbursed by its customers based on actual costs plus a management fee per unit of limestone delivered. The financial results for NAM are included in the consolidated operations or Unconsolidated Operations based on each entity's structure.
NACoal also provides coal handling, processing and drying services for a number of customers. For example, NoDak Energy Services, LLC ("NoDak") operates and maintains a coal processing facility for a customer's power plant. The pre-tax income from NoDak is reported on the line "Income from other unconsolidated affiliates" in the "Other expense (income)" section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with the related income taxes included in the provision for income taxes. North
7
American Coal Royalty Company, a consolidated entity, provides surface and mineral acquisition and lease maintenance services related to the Company's operations.
All of the unconsolidated subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method. See Note 6 for further discussion.
Basis of Presentation: These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2018, the results of its operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and the changes in equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 have been included. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
Reclassifications: As a result of the adoption of new accounting standards, certain amounts in the prior period Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
NOTE 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Revenue Recognition: The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which NACCO adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in the establishment of a $2.6 million contract liability and a $2.1 million cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings (net of tax of $0.5 million) as of January 1, 2018 to reflect the impact of changing the accounting for lease bonus payments received under certain royalty contracts. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period results are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under Topic 605.
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Nature of Performance Obligations
At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promised good or service that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.
Each mine or mine area has a contract with its respective customer that represents a contract under ASC 606. For its consolidated entities, NACoal’s performance obligations vary by contract and consist of the following:
At MLMC, each MMBtu delivered during the production period is considered a separate performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at the point in time that control of each MMBtu of lignite transfers to the customer. Fluctuations in revenue from period to period generally result from changes in customer demand.
At NAM entities, the management service to oversee the operation of the equipment and delivery of limestone is the performance obligation accounted for as a series. Performance momentarily creates an asset that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes; therefore, control is transferred to the customer over time. Consistent with the conclusion that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided, an input-based measure of progress is appropriate. As each month of service is completed, revenue is recognized for the amount of actual costs incurred, plus the management fee and the general and administrative fee (as applicable). Fluctuations in revenue from period to period result from changes in customer demand and variances in reimbursable costs primarily due to increases and decreases in activity levels on individual contracts.
NACoal enters into royalty contracts which grant the right to its customers to explore, develop, produce and sell minerals controlled by the Company. These arrangements result in the transfer of mineral rights to a customer for a period of time;
8
however, no rights to the actual land are granted other than access for purposes of exploration, development, and production. The mineral rights revert back to NACoal at the expiration of the contract.
Under these royalty contracts, granting exclusive right, title, and interest in and to minerals, if any, is the performance obligation. The performance obligation under these contracts represents a series of distinct goods or services whereby each day of access that is provided is distinct. The transaction price consists of a variable sales-based royalty and, in certain arrangements, a fixed component in the form of an up-front lease bonus payment. As the amount of consideration the Company will ultimately be entitled to is entirely susceptible to factors outside its control, the entire amount of variable consideration is constrained at contract inception. The fixed portion of the transaction price will be recognized over the primary term of the contract, which is generally five years.
Significant Judgments
The Company’s contracts with its customers contain different types of variable consideration including, but not limited to, management fees that adjust based on limestone yards or coal volumes or MMBtu delivered, however, the terms of these variable payments relate specifically to our efforts to satisfy one or more, but not all of, the performance obligations (or to a specific outcome from satisfying the performance obligations), in the contract. Therefore, the Company allocates each variable payment (and subsequent changes to that payment) entirely to the specific performance obligation to which it relates. Management fees, as well as general and administrative charges, are also adjusted based on changes in specified indices (e.g. CPI) to compensate for general inflation changes. Index adjustments, if applicable, are effective prospectively. Certain contracts include reimbursement of actual costs incurred.
Disaggregation of Revenue
In accordance with ASC 606-10-50, the Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into major goods and service lines and timing of transfer of goods and services. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective of depicting how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As noted in the segment information footnote, the Company’s business consists of one operating segment, NACoal.
The following table disaggregates revenue by major sources:

As described above, NACoal enters into royalty contracts that grant exclusive right, title, and interest in and to minerals. The transaction price consists of a variable sales-based royalty and, in certain arrangements, a fixed component in the form of an up-front lease bonus payment. The timing of the payment of the fixed portion of the transaction price is upfront, however, the performance obligation is satisfied over the primary term of the contract, which is generally five years. Therefore, at the time any such up-front payment is received, a contract liability is recorded which represents deferred revenue. The difference between the opening and closing balance of this contract liability, which is shown above, primarily results from the difference between new lease bonus payments received and amortization of up-front lease bonus payments received in previous periods.
The amount of revenue recognized in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 that was included in the opening contract liability was $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. This revenue consists of up-front lease bonus payments received under royalty contracts that are recognized over the primary term of the royalty agreement, which is generally five years. The Company expects to recognize an additional $0.2 million in the remainder of 2018, $0.8 million in 2019, $0.7 million in both 2020 and 2021, $0.5 million in 2022 and $0.1 million in 2023. The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable and contract liabilities results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. Contracts with payments in arrears are recognized as receivables.
The Company has no contract assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.
Practical Expedients & Accounting Policy Elections
Remaining performance obligations - The Company has not disclosed the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or more as the Company recognized revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for goods delivered or services performed.
ASC 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied. However, the guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement, including when variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a series.
As discussed above, the Company allocates the variable consideration in its contract entirely to each specific performance obligation to which it relates. Therefore, any remaining variable consideration in the transaction price is allocated entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations. As such, the Company has not disclosed the value of unsatisfied performance obligations pursuant to the practical expedient.
Other Accounting Standards Adopted in 2018: In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which NACCO adopted on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $2.7 million reclassification within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures. See Note 5 for further discussion.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which NACCO adopted on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $2.3 million reclassification within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)," which requires an entity to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and ASU 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements”. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, or as of January 1, 2019 for NACCO. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. The Company plans to use the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of practical expedients in transition which the Company is still evaluating.
10
The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires lessees to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the Statement of Operations. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating its existing lease portfolio, including accumulating all of the information required to properly account for the leases under the new standard and any changes to processes and internal controls to meet the standard's reporting and disclosure requirements. The Company has selected a lease management system to assist with lease accounting. While the Company is still evaluating how and to what extent ASU 2016-02 will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations and related disclosures, it expects the adoption will result in a material increase to the assets and liabilities recorded on the Balance Sheet. The most significant effect to the Balance Sheet relates to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities for office and equipment operating leases. The Company does not expect a significant change in leasing activity between now and adoption. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on cash flows, liquidity or debt-covenant compliance.
The new standard also provides practical expedients for ongoing accounting. The Company currently expects to elect the short-term lease recognition exemptions for all leases that qualify. This means, for these leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition.

NOTE 4—Stockholders' Equity
Stock Repurchase Program: On February 14, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program ("2018 Stock Repurchase Program") providing for the repurchase of up to $25 million of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock through December 31, 2019. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased $0.2 million and $0.3 million of Class A Common Stock under the 2018 Stock Repurchase Program, respectively. The timing and amount of any repurchases under the 2018 Stock Repurchase Program are determined at the discretion of the Company's management based on a number of factors, including the availability of capital, other capital allocation alternatives, market conditions for the Company's Class A Common Stock and other legal and contractual restrictions. The 2018 Stock Repurchase Program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Company without prior notice and may be executed through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. All or part of the repurchases under the 2018 Stock Repurchase Program may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow repurchases under pre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be restricted from doing so under applicable securities laws.

Bellaire Corporation (“Bellaire”) is a non-operating subsidiary of the Company with legacy liabilities relating to closed mining operations, primarily former Eastern U.S. underground coal mining operations. In connection with Bellaire's normal permit renewal with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP"), Bellaire established a $5.0 million mine
11
water treatment trust (the "Mine Water Treatment Trust") to provide a financial assurance mechanism to assure the long-term treatment of post-mining discharges. Bellaire's Mine Water Treatment Trust invests in equity securities that are reported at fair value based upon quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets; therefore, they are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
On January 1, 2018, the Mine Water Treatment Trust's unrealized gain was reclassified within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-01. See Note 2 for further information. The Mine Water Treatment Trust realized a gain of $0.4 million and $0.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, reported on the line "Other, net, including interest income" in the "Other expense (income)" section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company uses significant other observable inputs to value derivative instruments used to hedge interest rate risk; therefore, they are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value for these contracts is determined based on current interest rates.
There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
NOTE 6—Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
Each of NACoal's wholly owned unconsolidated subsidiaries meet the definition of a variable interest entity. See Note 1 for a discussion of these entities.
The investment in the unconsolidated subsidiaries and related tax positions totaled $20.0 million and $16.3 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company's maximum risk of loss relating to these entities is limited to its invested capital, which was $6.3 million and $5.2 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
NACoal is a party to certain guarantees related to Coyote Creek. Under certain circumstances of default or termination of Coyote Creek’s Lignite Sales Agreement (“LSA”), NACoal would be obligated for payment of a "make-whole" amount to Coyote Creek’s third-party lenders. The “make-whole” amount is based on the excess, if any, of the discounted value of the remaining scheduled debt payments over the principal amount. In addition, in the event Coyote Creek’s LSA is terminated on or after January 1, 2024 by Coyote Creek’s customers, NACoal is obligated to purchase Coyote Creek’s dragline and rolling
12
stock for the then net book value of those assets. To date, no payments have been required from NACoal since the inception of these guarantees. The Company believes that the likelihood NACoal would be required to perform under the guarantees is remote, and no amounts related to these guarantees have been recorded.
Summarized financial information for the unconsolidated subsidiaries is as follows:

NOTE 7—Contingencies
Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against NACCO and certain subsidiaries relating to the conduct of their businesses. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business of the Company. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible and which are material, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, in some circumstances, an estimate of the possible loss.
These matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.
NOTE 8—Business Segments
Two of the Company’s former segments, Hamilton Beach Brands and Kitchen Collection, were spun-off on September 29, 2017. See Note 1 and Note 10 for a discussion of the Company's industry and the spin-off. There were no changes to the composition of the remaining segments, NACoal and NACCO and Other. NACCO's non-operating segment, NACCO and Other, includes the accounts of the parent company and Bellaire.

NOTE 9—Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), which significantly revised U.S. tax law. Subsequent to the enactment of the TCJA, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date for companies to finalize the recognition of the income tax effects of the TCJA. As a result of the TCJA and pursuant to SAB 118, the Company provisionally recorded a discrete net tax benefit of $3.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2017. The ultimate impact of the TCJA may differ
13
from these provisional amounts due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and the computation of state income taxes as there is uncertainty on conformity to the U.S. federal tax system following the TCJA. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, no adjustments were recorded to the provisional amount recognized in 2017. Any adjustment to the provisional amount will be recorded within the one year measurement period provided by SAB 118.
NOTE 10—Other Events and Transactions
HBBHC Spin-Off: On September 29, 2017, the Company spun-off HBBHC, a former wholly owned subsidiary. To complete the spin-off, the Company distributed one share of HBBHC Class A common stock and one share of HBBHC Class B common stock to NACCO stockholders for each share of NACCO Class A common stock or Class B common stock owned. The Company accounted for the spin-off based on the historical carrying value of HBBHC.
In connection with the spin-off of HBBHC, the Company and HBBHC entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA"). Under the terms of the TSA, the Company provides various services to HBBHC on a transitional basis, as needed, for varying periods after the spin-off date. The transition services are materially complete. NACCO received fees of $0.1 million and $0.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, recorded as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses.
As a result of the spin-off, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of HBBHC are reflected as discontinued operations through the date of the spin-off in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Discontinued operations includes the following results of HBBHC for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017:

Item 2. - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollars in thousands, except as noted and per share data)
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based upon management's current expectations and are subject to various uncertainties and changes in circumstances. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements are set forth below under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements."
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes NACCO Industries, Inc. (the “parent company” or “NACCO”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). NACCO is the public holding company for The North American Coal Corporation. The North American Coal Corporation and its affiliated companies (collectively, “NACoal”) operate surface mines that supply coal primarily to power generation companies under long-term contracts, and provide other value-added services to natural resource companies. In addition, its North American Mining ("NAM") business operates and maintains draglines and other equipment under contracts with sellers of aggregates. NACoal’s service-based business model aligns its operating goals with customers’ objectives.
Coal is surface mined from NACoal's mines in North Dakota, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana and on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. NACoal has the following operating coal mining subsidiaries: Bisti Fuels Company, LLC ("Bisti"), Caddo Creek Resources Company, LLC (“Caddo Creek”), Camino Real Fuels, LLC (“Camino Real”), The Coteau Properties Company (“Coteau”), Coyote Creek Mining Company, LLC (“Coyote Creek”), Demery Resources Company, LLC (“Demery”), The Falkirk Mining Company (“Falkirk”), Mississippi Lignite Mining Company (“MLMC”) and The Sabine Mining Company (“Sabine”). Liberty Fuels Company, LLC ("Liberty") ceased all mining and delivery of lignite in 2017 and commenced mine reclamation in 2018.
NAM provides value-added services for independently owned limestone quarries and is reimbursed by its customers based on actual costs plus a management fee per unit of limestone delivered. The financial results for NAM are included in the consolidated mining operations or unconsolidated mining operations based on each entity's structure.
NACoal also provides coal handling, processing and drying services for a number of customers. For example, NoDak Energy Services, LLC ("NoDak") operates and maintains a coal processing facility for a customer's power plant. North American Coal Royalty Company ("NACRC") provides surface and mineral acquisition and lease maintenance services related to the Company's operations.
NACCO and Other includes the parent company operations and Bellaire Corporation ("Bellaire"), a non-operating subsidiary of NACCO. Although Bellaire’s operations are immaterial, it has long-term liabilities related to closed mines, primarily from former Eastern U.S. underground coal mining activities.
On September 29, 2017, the Company spun-off Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company ("HBBHC"), a former wholly owned subsidiary. As a result of the spin-off, NACCO stockholders received one share of HBBHC Class A common stock and one share of HBBHC Class B common stock for each share of NACCO Class A or Class B common stock owned on the record date for the spin-off. The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of HBBHC are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented through the date of the spin-off.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company has updated its revenue recognition policy in connection with the adoption of ASC 606 as further described in Note 2 to the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Please also refer to the discussion of the Company's Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates as disclosed on pages 28 through 31 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company's remaining Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates have not materially changed since December 31, 2017.

As a result, the Company's results of operations, including Revenues, Operating profit and Other expense, net, for NACoal and NACCO and Other are discussed below in "Segment Results." Amounts below income before income tax provision are analyzed on a consolidated basis.
Income Taxes
The Company evaluates and updates its estimated annual effective income tax rate on a quarterly basis based on current and forecasted operating results and tax laws. Consequently, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings compared to projections of earnings between entities that benefit from percentage depletion and those that do not, the effective tax rate may vary quarterly. The quarterly income tax provision is generally comprised of tax expense on income or a benefit on a loss at the most recent estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for the effect of discrete items. See Note 9 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Company's income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources of NACCO
Financing arrangements are obtained and maintained at the subsidiary level. NACCO has not guaranteed any borrowings of its subsidiaries. The credit agreement at NACoal allows for the payment to NACCO of dividends and advances under certain circumstances as described below under "The North American Coal Corporation - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Financing Activities." Dividends (to the extent permitted by NACoal's credit agreement) and management fees are the primary sources of cash for NACCO and enable the Company to pay dividends to stockholders.

NACCO Industries, Inc. Consolidated Outlook - Fourth Quarter 2018
In the fourth quarter of 2018, NACCO expects consolidated income from continuing operations before income tax to increase substantially compared with the fourth quarter of 2017, even though the 2017 fourth quarter results included $1.6 million of gains on sales of assets. Excluding the gains on sales of assets, NACCO expects the 2018 fourth-quarter income before income tax to increase primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses, mainly related to lower employee-related costs, and modest improvements at the consolidated operations, excluding Centennial. These improvements are expected to be partially offset by a decrease in royalty income and an increase in Centennial's pre-tax loss.
At the consolidated operations, MLMC's pre-tax income in the 2018 fourth quarter is expected to improve over the prior year fourth quarter, but be significantly lower than the 2018 third quarter. This fourth quarter year-over-year improvement is primarily due to anticipated increased volumes, as customer demand in the 2018 fourth quarter is expected to be higher than in the prior year quarter. As a result of MLMC's strong third quarter, and additional improvements expected in the fourth quarter provided customer demand is at expected levels, full-year 2018 pre-tax income at MLMC is expected to increase compared with 2017. Results at the NAM consolidated operations are expected to increase in the fourth quarter of 2018 mainly as a result of an anticipated increase in customer requirements.
Centennial's pre-tax loss in the 2018 fourth quarter is expected to be comparable to the 2017 fourth quarter, excluding a $2.4 million favorable reduction in Centennial's mine reclamation liability and a $1.0 million asset impairment charge realized in the prior year. Centennial will continue to evaluate strategies to optimize cash flow, including the continued assessment of a range of strategies for its remaining Alabama mineral reserves, including holding reserves with substantial unmined coal tons for sale or contract mining when conditions permit. Cash expenditures related to mine reclamation will continue until reclamation is complete, or ownership of, or responsibility for, the remaining mines is transferred.
The expected decrease in royalty income is the result of the absence of a $1.2 million lease bonus payment received in the prior year fourth quarter. Excluding this lease bonus payment, royalty income in the fourth quarter of 2018 is expected to be comparable to the fourth quarter of 2017.
Earnings from the unconsolidated operations in the 2018 fourth quarter are expected to be comparable to the prior year. An increase in tons delivered at Bisti, as a result of the completion of work to install additional environmental controls at the customer's power plant, and higher compensation at Liberty for mine closure work is expected to be offset by fewer tons delivered at other unconsolidated operations. Production at Bisti is anticipated to be approximately 5 million tons of coal per year when the plant is operating at expected levels, which is currently anticipated to occur in 2019.
NACCO expects an overall increase in 2018 full-year income from continuing operations before income tax compared with 2017. The Company is anticipating an overall effective income tax rate in the range of 11% to 14% for the 2018 full year compared with an effective income tax rate from continuing operations of 2.2% in 2017. In 2017, the Company applied the intraperiod tax allocation rules to allocate the provision for income taxes between continuing operations and discontinued operations, which produced results in 2017 that were neither comparable nor indicative of future expectations. Results in the 2017 fourth quarter and full year also included tax benefits of $4.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, related to U.S. tax reform. As a result of the increase in the effective income tax rate and the absence of tax reform benefits, consolidated income
17
from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2018 is expected to decrease substantially from the fourth quarter of 2017, but increase modestly for the 2018 full year compared with 2017.
Consolidated cash flow before financing activities is expected to be substantially lower in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the fourth quarter of 2017. NACCO expects an overall decrease in cash flow before financing activities from continuing operations for the 2018 full year primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 and approximately $27 million for the full year. Planned expenditures at MLMC and NAM include expenditures for new replacement equipment and land and coal reserves required for future mining. The timing and amount of capital expenditures may vary based on further refinement of capital needs and mine plans.
NACCO Industries, Inc. Consolidated Outlook - 2019
In 2019, NACCO expects consolidated income before income tax to increase compared with 2018 and expects an effective income tax rate in the range of 11% to 14%. Income before income tax is expected to increase primarily as a result of an increase in royalty income and improved results at the consolidated coal mining operations.
NACRC derives income from royalty-based leases under which the lessee makes payments to the Company based on the sale of oil, natural gas and, to a lesser extent, coal, extracted primarily by third parties. Royalty income is expected to increase in 2019 based on the likelihood of a significant increase in the number of gas wells being developed and operated to extract the Company's oil and gas assets in Ohio's Utica shale and the expected continuing development of infrastructure. Whether or not this increase occurs depends on a number of factors outside of the Company's control, including fluctuations in commodity prices and the availability of infrastructure, and the Company's lessees' willingness and ability to incur well-development and other operating costs.
The improvement at the consolidated coal mining operations is expected to be driven by an increase in MLMC's results, primarily driven by an anticipated increase in customer demand and volumes in 2019 compared with 2018. Increased volumes result in a reduction in the cost per ton of coal delivered. In general, cost per ton delivered is lowest when the power plant requires a consistently high level of coal deliveries, primarily because costs are spread over more tons. Historically, periods of reduced or fluctuating deliveries, such as during planned or unplanned power plant outages or periods of fluctuating demand for electricity generated by the plant, have adversely affected MLMC's tons delivered, resulting in an increase in cost per ton delivered and reduced profitability. If customer demand does not improve as expected at MLMC, it could unfavorably affect NACoal's 2019 earnings significantly.
Cash flow before financing activities is expected to increase in 2019 compared with 2018. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $19 million in 2019.
While the current regulatory environment for development of new coal projects has improved, continued low natural gas prices and growth in renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, could unfavorably affect the amount of electricity generation attributable to coal-fired power plants over the longer term. NACoal continues to seek opportunities for new coal mining projects, although future opportunities are likely to be very limited. In addition, NACoal continues to pursue additional non-coal mining opportunities, principally related to its NAM business and elsewhere where it might provide value-added services.

Third Quarter of 2018 Compared with Third Quarter of 2017
The following table identifies the components of change in revenues for the third quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2017:
Revenues | |||
2017 | $ | 21,941 | |
Increase (decrease) from: | |||
Consolidated operations | 8,238 | ||
Royalty | 1,261 | ||
2018 | $ | 31,440 |
Revenues increased $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to an increase in tons sold at MLMC as a result of increased customer requirements and higher reimbursed costs and an increase in yards sold at NAM's consolidated operations. Reimbursed costs have an offsetting amount in cost of goods sold and have no impact on operating profit.
The following table identifies the components of change in operating profit for the third quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2017:
Operating Profit | |||
2017 | $ | 8,925 | |
Increase (decrease) from: | |||
Consolidated operations, excluding Centennial | 2,159 | ||
Royalty | 1,217 | ||
Earnings of unconsolidated operations | 945 | ||
Centennial, excluding the net gain on sales of assets | 19 | ||
Selling, general and administrative expenses | (689 | ) | |
Net gain on sale of assets | (419 | ) | |
2018 | $ | 12,157 |
NACoal's operating profit increased $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared with the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to an increase in results at the consolidated mines, principally MLMC, higher royalty income and an increase in earnings of unconsolidated operations. The increase in operating profit at the consolidated mines was primarily due to an increase in customer requirements at MLMC. The increase in the earnings of the unconsolidated operations was mainly due to an increase in tons delivered and higher compensation at Liberty during the mine reclamation period. These variances were partially offset by increased Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to higher employee-related expenses.
Income before income tax provision increased primarily due to the items impacting operating profit and a $0.5 million decrease in interest expense attributable to lower average borrowings under NACoal's revolving credit facility in the third quarter of 2018 compared with 2017.
First Nine Months of 2018 Compared with First Nine Months of 2017
The following table identifies the components of change in revenues for the first nine months of 2018 compared with the first nine months of 2017:

Increase (decrease) from: | |||
Consolidated operations | 16,060 | ||
Royalty | 1,920 | ||
2018 | $ | 96,321 |
Revenues increased $18.0 million in the first nine months of 2018 compared with the first nine months of 2017 primarily due to an increase in tons sold at MLMC as a result of increased customer requirements and higher reimbursed costs at NAM's
20
consolidated operations. Reimbursed costs have an offsetting amount in cost of goods sold and have no impact on operating profit.
The following table identifies the components of change in operating profit for the first nine months of 2018 compared with the first nine months of 2017:

Centennial, excluding the net gain on sales of assets | 2,002 | ||
Consolidated operations, excluding Centennial | 135 | ||
Net gain on sale of assets | (3,181 | ) | |
Selling, general and administrative expenses | (2,743 | ) | |
2018 | $ | 32,961 |
NACoal's operating profit increased $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2018 compared with the first nine months of 2017 primarily due to an increase in earnings of unconsolidated operations, higher royalty income and improved results at Centennial. The increase in the earnings of the unconsolidated operations was mainly due to an increase in tons delivered and higher compensation at Liberty during the mine reclamation period. Centennial's results improved primarily due to lower costs and a $1.0 million revision of estimated cash flows for Centennial's asset retirement obligation. These increases were partially offset by $3.5 million of gains on sales of assets in the first nine months of 2017 and an increase in Selling, general and administrative expenses due to higher employee-related expenses, professional fees and additional business development costs.
Income before income tax provision increased due to the items impacting operating profit and a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense attributable to lower average borrowings under NACoal's revolving credit facility in the first nine months of 2018 compared with 2017.

Cash flow before financing activities | $ | 39,141 | $ | 29,520 | $ | 9,621 |
The change in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of a favorable working capital change during the first nine months of 2018 compared with the first nine months of 2017. The change in working capital was mainly the result of an increase in accounts receivable due to timing during the first nine months of 2017 compared with a decrease in 2018, and a favorable change in intercompany accounts receivable/payable during the first nine months of 2018 compared with 2017.
The change in net cash used for investing activities was primarily attributable to an increase in expenditures for property, plant and equipment at MLMC and NAM's consolidated operations.

Net cash used for financing activities | $ | (42,207 | ) | $ | (40,332 | ) | $ | (1,875 | ) |
The change in net cash used for financing activities was primarily from a reduction in borrowings on NACoal's revolving credit facility during the first nine months of 2018 when compared with the first nine months of 2017.
Financing Activities
NACoal has an unsecured revolving line of credit of up to $150.0 million (the “NACoal Facility”) that expires in August 2022. Borrowings outstanding under the NACoal Facility were $10.0 million at September 30, 2018. At September 30, 2018, the excess availability under the NACoal Facility was $138.5 million, which reflects a reduction for outstanding letters of credit of $1.5 million.
The NACoal Facility has performance-based pricing, which sets interest rates based upon achieving various levels of debt to EBITDA ratios, as defined in the NACoal Facility. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus a margin based on the level of debt to EBITDA ratio achieved. The applicable margins, effective September 30, 2018, for base rate and LIBOR loans were 1.00% and 2.00%, respectively. The NACoal Facility has a commitment fee which is based upon achieving various levels of debt to EBITDA ratios. The commitment fee was 0.35% on the unused commitment at September 30, 2018. The floating rate of interest applicable to the NACoal Facility at September 30, 2018 was 4.25%.
The NACoal Facility contains restrictive covenants, which require, among other things, NACoal to maintain a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and an interest coverage ratio of not less than 4.00 to 1.00. The NACoal Facility provides the ability to make loans, dividends and advances to NACCO, with some restrictions based on maintaining a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.00 to 1.00, or if greater than 2.00 to 1.00, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.10 to 1.00, in conjunction with maintaining unused availability thresholds of borrowing capacity, as defined in the NACoal Facility, of $15.0 million. At September 30, 2018, NACoal was in compliance with all financial covenants in the NACoal Facility.
NACoal believes funds available from cash on hand at the Company, the NACoal Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the NACoal Facility.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Since December 31, 2017, there have been no significant changes in the total amount of NACoal's contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 39 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. See Note 6 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of certain guarantees related to Coyote Creek.
Capital Expenditures
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $14.5 million during the first nine months of 2018. NACoal estimates that its capital expenditures for the remainder of 2018 could be up to $12.1 million for new and replacement equipment and land and coal reserves required for future mining. These expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds and/or bank borrowings.

Third Quarter of 2018 Compared with Third Quarter of 2017 and First Nine Months of 2018 Compared with First Nine Months of 2017
The decrease in NACCO and Other's operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared with 2017 was primarily due to lower employee-related expenses, partially offset by a reduction in management fees charged to the subsidiaries. The nine months ended September 30, 2018 is comparable to the 2017 period as the reduction in management fees was offset by lower employee-related expenses. The management fees charged to NACoal represent an allocation of corporate overhead of the parent company. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 included $1.1 million and $3.1 million of management fees related to HBBHC, respectively.
In connection with the spin-off of HBBHC, the Company and HBBHC entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA"). Under the terms of the TSA, the Company provides various services to HBBHC on a transitional basis, as needed, for varying periods after the spin-off date. The transition services are materially complete. NACCO received fees of $0.1 million and $0.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, recorded as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses.
The change in Other (income) expense for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with 2017 periods is primarily due to realized gains on invested assets of Bellaire's Mine Water Treatment Trust. See Note 2 and Note 5 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Mine Water Treatment Trust.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Since December 31, 2017, there have been no significant changes in the total amount of NACCO and Other contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 43 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are made subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company entered into certain financing arrangements that require interest payments based on floating interest rates. As such, the Company's financial results are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. There is an inherent rollover risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. Based on the average interest rate and the borrowings outstanding on these financing arrangements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company does not believe that a 10% change in the interest rate would have a material effect on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
The Company uses certain commodities, including steel and diesel fuel, in the normal course of its operations. As such, the cost of operations is subject to variability as the market for these commodities changes. The Company monitors this risk and utilizes forward purchase contracts to manage a portion of NACoal's exposure related to diesel fuel volatility. There were no material changes in the Company's commodity price risk during the third quarter of 2018.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting: During the third quarter of 2018, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
