ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted

 

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Headquartered in Braintree, Massachusetts, Altra Industrial Motion Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) is a leading multi-national designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of electro-mechanical power transmission products. The Company brings together strong brands covering over 42 product lines with production facilities in twelve countries. Altra’s leading brands include Ameridrives Couplings, Bauer Gear Motor, Bibby Turboflex, Boston Gear, Delroyd Worm Gear, Formsprag Clutch, Guardian Couplings, Huco, Industrial Clutch, Inertia Dynamics, Kilian Manufacturing, Lamiflex Couplings, Marland Clutch, Matrix, Nuttall Gear, Stieber Clutch, Stromag, Svendborg Brakes, TB Wood’s, Twiflex, Warner Electric, Warner Linear, and Wichita Clutch.

 

 

2. Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position for the interim periods presented, and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The results are not necessarily indicative of future results.  The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure.

 

 

3. Recent Accounting Standards

 

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”). This ASU requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of many intercompany asset transfers at the transaction date. The seller and buyer will immediately recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences of an intercompany transfer of an asset other than inventory. The tax consequences were previously deferred until the asset is sold to a third party or recovered through use. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments (a consensus of the emerging issues task force) (“ASU 2016-15”). This ASU addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The ASU requires management to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all operating leases. The ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein on a modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and expect to recognize a significant lease obligation upon adoption.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides a single principles-based, five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps are to (i) identify the contracts with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue will be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018 and the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The Company expects to adopt this new guidance using the modified retrospective method that will result in a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of

adoption. We are continuing to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and the presentation of our consolidated financial statements, but currently do not expect the adoption to be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The updated guidance revises aspects of stock-based compensation guidance which include income tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 which resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations rather than paid-in capital and was not material for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows now present excess tax benefits as an operating activity, adjusted prospectively. Finally, the Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures based on historical data and recognizes forfeiture compensation expense over the vesting period of the award.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”). Under this guidance, entities utilizing the first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost method should measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, whereas net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

 

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows:

 

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived,

 

Level 3- Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Debt under the Company’s 2015 Credit Agreement approximates the fair value due to the variable rate and the fact that the agreement was renegotiated in the prior period.

The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps), the Company uses standard models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows and the ability of the Company or the financial counterparty to perform. For interest rate and cross currency swaps, the significant inputs to these models are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and are adjusted for credit risk. For forward foreign currency contracts, the significant inputs are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows, and exchange rate curves of the foreign currency for translating future cash flows. See additional discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments including a cross-currency swap included in Note 15.

6. Acquisitions

 

On December 30, 2016, we acquired the shares and certain assets and liabilities of the Stromag business from GKN plc., and as a result, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect Stromag’s results of operations from the beginning of business on December 30, 2016 forward. Stromag is a leading global manufacturer of highly engineered clutches and brakes, couplings, and limit switches for use in a variety of end markets including renewable energy, crane & hoist, and marine. We refer to this transaction as the Stromag Acquisition.

As of June 30, 2017, the allocation of the purchase price for the Stromag Acquisition is preliminary. The fair value of all the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities is provisional pending finalization of the Company’s acquisition accounting. The Company believes that such preliminary allocations provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize fair value. The Company recorded certain immaterial measurement period adjustments during the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The preliminary purchase price allocations below include such adjustments.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. This goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The Company expects to develop synergies, such as lower cost country sourcing, global procurement, the ability to cross-sell product, and the ability to penetrate certain geographic areas, as a result of the acquisition of Stromag.

During the second quarter, the Company and the seller completed the working capital adjustment under the sale and purchase agreement which reduced the purchase price by $2.9 million.

Customer relationships are subject to amortization which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 15 years, which represents the anticipated period over which the Company estimates it will benefit from the acquired assets.

 

The following table sets forth the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for the quarter and year to date periods ended June 30, 2017, as if the Company had acquired Stromag at the beginning of the period. The pro forma information contains the actual operating results of the Company, including Stromag, adjusted to include the pro forma impact of (i) additional depreciation expense as a result of estimated depreciation based on the fair value of fixed assets and; (ii) additional expense as a result of the estimated amortization of identifiable intangible assets; (iii) additional interest expense for borrowings under the Credit Agreement associated with the Stromag Acquisition. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period or that may be obtained in the future.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

 

On October 22, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which may be amended from time to time (the “2015 Credit Agreement”). Under the 2015 Credit Agreement, the amount of the Company’s prior revolving credit facility was increased to $350 million (the “2015 Revolving Credit Facility”). The amounts available under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and to repay existing indebtedness. The stated maturity of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is October 22, 2020.

The amounts available under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility may be drawn upon in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement. All amounts outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility are due on the stated maturity or such earlier time, if any, required under the 2015 Credit Agreement. The amounts owed under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time, subject to usual notification and breakage payment provisions. Interest on the amounts outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is calculated using either an ABR Rate or Eurodollar Rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for Eurodollar Loans are between 1.25% to 2.00%, and for ABR Loans are between 0.25% and 1.00%. The amounts of the margins are calculated based on either a consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement), or the then applicable rating(s) of the Company’s debt and then to the extent as provided in the 2015 Credit Agreement. The rate at December 31, 2015 was 1.5%. A portion of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility may also be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies. The 2015 Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which among other things, will require the Borrowers to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders, require the Company to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated leverage and interest coverage, limit maximum annual capital expenditures, and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock or debt, make certain investments, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The 2015 Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

On October 21, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the 2015 Credit Agreement.  This amendment, which became effective upon closing of the purchase of Stromag, which was December 30, 2016, increased the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility by $75 million to $425 million. The Company used additional borrowings under the increased facility to finance its purchase of Stromag. In addition, the amendment increased the multicurrency sublimit to $250 million and adjusted certain financial covenants. The pricing terms and maturity date under the 2015 Credit Agreement remain unchanged. The Company paid $0.6 million in fees in connection with the October 2016 amendment, which is recorded in other non-current assets.

As of June 30, 2017 we had $295.2 million outstanding on our 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, including $290.9 million outstanding on our USD tranche at an interest rate of 2.80% and $4.3 million outstanding on our Euro tranche at an interest rate of 1.75%. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $3.7 million and $4.1 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. We had $113.3 million available to borrow under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2017 and may borrow an additional $150 million under certain circumstances.

Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2011, the Company issued Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) due March 1, 2031. The Convertible Notes were guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the Convertible Notes was payable semi-annually in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2011 at an annual rate of 2.75%. Proceeds from the offering were $81.3 million, net of fees and expenses that were capitalized.

On December 12, 2016 the Company gave notice to the holders of the Convertible Notes of its intention to redeem all of the Convertible Notes outstanding on January 12, 2017 (the “Redemption Date”), pursuant to the optional redemption provisions in the Indenture. The redemption price for the Convertible Notes was 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date plus a Make-Whole Premium equal to the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest on any Convertible Notes through March 1, 2018 (excluding interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date).  In lieu of receiving the redemption price, holders of the Notes could surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion at any time before January 9, 2017. The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes was 39.0809 shares of the Company’s common stock, for each $1,000 of outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2016, Convertible Notes with an outstanding principal of approximately $39.3 million were converted resulting in the issuance of 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the conversion, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.9 million and the carrying value of the Convertible Notes was $42.9 million as of December 31, 2016. In January 2017, additional

Convertible Notes with an outstanding principal of approximately $44.7 million were converted resulting in the issuance of 1.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock, and $0.9 million of Convertible Notes were redeemed for cash. The Company incurred an additional loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. All Convertible Notes were converted or redeemed as of January 12, 2017.

12. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) permitted the grant of various forms of stock based compensation to our officers and senior level employees. The 2004 Plan expired in 2014 and, upon expiration, there were 750,576 shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2004 Plan. The 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders at its 2014 annual meeting. The 2014 Plan provides for various forms of stock based compensation to our directors, executive personnel and other key employees and consultants. Under the 2014 Plan, the total number of shares of common stock available for delivery pursuant to the grant of awards (“Awards”) was originally 750,000. At the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting, its shareholders approved amendments to the 2014 Plan which, among other things, made an additional 750,000 shares of common stock available for grant under the 2014 Plan. Shares of our common stock subject to Awards awarded under the 2004 Plan and outstanding as of the effective date of the 2014 Plan (except for substitute awards) that terminate without being exercised, expire, are forfeited or

canceled, are exchanged for Awards that did not involve shares of common stock, are not issued on the stock settlement of a stock appreciation right, are withheld by the Company or tendered by a participant (either actually or by attestation) to pay an option exercise price or to pay the withholding tax on any Award, or are settled in cash in lieu of shares will again be available for Awards under the 2014 Plan.

The restricted shares issued pursuant to the 2014 Plan generally vest ratably over a period ranging from immediately to five years from the date of grant, provided, that the vesting of the restricted shares may accelerate upon the occurrence of certain events. Common stock awarded under the 2014 Plan is generally subject to restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights, and other limitations and rights as set forth in the applicable award agreements. The fair value of the shares repurchased are measured based on the share price on the date of grant.

The 2014 Plan permits the Company to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance share awards to key employees and other persons who make significant contributions to the success of the Company. The restrictions and vesting schedule for restricted stock granted under the 2014 Plan are determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Stock-based compensation expense recorded during the year to date periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, was $3.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively.  The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for the shares vesting ratably under the plan and uses the graded-vesting method of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for the performance share awards based on the probability of the specific performance metrics being achieved over the requisite service period.

The following table sets forth the activity of the Company’s restricted stock and performance share grants in the year to date period ended June 30, 2017:

The fair market value of the shares for which the restrictions have lapsed during the year to date period ended June 30, 2017 was $0.9 million. Restricted shares granted are valued based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2014, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2014 Program”) authorizing the buyback of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common stock. Under the 2014 program, the Company was authorized to purchase shares on the open market, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with SEC Rule 10b-18 (including through Rule 10b5-1 plans), or in any other appropriate manner. The timing of the shares repurchased was at the discretion of management and depended on a number of factors, including price, market conditions and regulatory requirements. Shares acquired through the repurchase program were retired.

On October 19, 2016, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the buyback of up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2019. This plan replaces the 2014 Program which was terminated. The Company expects to purchase shares on the open market, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with SEC Rule 10b-18 (including through Rule 10b5-1 plans), or in any other appropriate manner. The timing of the shares repurchased will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including price, market conditions and regulatory requirements. Shares acquired through the repurchase program will be retired. The Company retains the right to limit, terminate or extend the share repurchase program at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund any further repurchases of its common stock through a combination of cash on hand and cash generated by operations. During the year to date period ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not repurchase any of its common stock under the share repurchase program.

13. Restructuring, Asset Impairment, and Transition Expenses

From time to time, the Company has initiated various restructuring programs and incurred severance and other restructuring costs.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company commenced a restructuring plan (“2015 Altra Plan”) as a result of weak demand in Europe and to make certain adjustments to improve business effectiveness, reduce the number of facilities and streamline the Company's cost structure. The actions taken pursuant to the 2015 Altra Plan included reducing headcount, facility consolidations and related asset impairments, and limiting discretionary spending to improve profitability.

The following table details restructuring charges incurred by segment for the periods presented.

Concentrations

Financial instruments, which are potentially subject to counter party performance and concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company manages these risks by conducting credit evaluations of customers prior to delivery or commencement of services. When the Company enters into a sales contract, collateral is normally not required from the customer. Payments are typically due within 30 days of billing. An allowance for potential credit losses is maintained, and losses have historically been within management’s expectations. While the Company did not have any customers that represented total sales greater than 10% for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Gearing business had one customer that approximated 12% of total sales for that segment during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

The Company is also subject to counter party performance risk of loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, such as cash and investments. Cash and cash equivalents are held by well-established financial institutions and invested in AAA rated mutual funds. The Company is exposed to swap counterparty credit risk with well-established financial institutions.

15. Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company enters into contractual derivative arrangements to manage changes in market conditions related to interest on debt obligations, and foreign currency exposures. Derivative instruments utilized during the period include interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency contracts. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each period. The counterparties to the Company's contractual derivative agreements are all major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. For designated hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items.

Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps

The Company is exposed to foreign currency and interest rate cash flow exposure related to non-functional currency long-term debt of the Company’s wholly owned Dutch subsidiary. To manage this foreign currency and interest rate cash flow exposure, the Company entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap that converts $100.0 million of U.S. dollar denominated floating interest payments to functional currency (euro) fixed interest payments during the life of the hedging instrument. In addition, the Company has two cross-currency interest rate swaps that convert an additional $70.0 million of the U.S. dollar denominated floating interest payments to functional currency (euro) floating interest payments during the life of the hedging instruments. The effective period of one of the cross-currency interest rate swaps in the amount of $30 million (the “Initial Swap”) that the Company entered in to as of December 21, 2016 expired as of June 30, 2017. The Company net settled the Initial Swap and a new $30 million cross-currency swap transaction was entered into which will amortize down to $20 million after six-months. The effective period of the second of these two cross-currency interest rate swaps in the amount of $40 million expires on December 31, 2018. As changes in foreign exchange and interest rates impact the future cash flow of interest payments, the hedges are intended to offset changes in cash flows attributable to interest rate and foreign exchange movements.

The Company designated the $100.0 million swap as a cash flow hedge, with the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction impacts earnings.  There were no amounts recorded for ineffectiveness for the periods reported herein related to the cross-currency interest rate swaps. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives that are not designated as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other operating (income) expense, net.  

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. As of June 30, 2017, approximately $0.7 million of net unrealized gains related to the cross-currency interest rate swaps were included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Interest Rate Swap

 

In January 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement designed to fix the variable interest rate payable on a portion of its outstanding borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement, for a notional value of $50.0 million, at 1.625%.  The effective date was January 31, 2017 and the maturity date is January 31, 2020.

The interest rate swap agreement was designed to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness. The Company recognizes all derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value. The Company has designated this interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the swap will be recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swap will be reported by the Company in interest expense.  As of June 30, 2017, approximately $47 thousand of unrealized loss related to the interest rate swap was included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

General Litigation

The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. These proceedings primarily involve commercial claims, product liability claims, personal injury claims, and workers’ compensation claims. None of these legal proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. With respect to these proceedings, management believes that the Company will prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate reserves to cover potential liabilities. Any costs that management estimates may

19


ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted

 

be paid related to these proceedings or claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adversely to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. There were no material amounts accrued in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for potential litigation as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. For matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company also risks exposure to product liability claims in connection with products it has sold and those sold by businesses that the Company acquired. Although in some cases third parties have retained responsibility for product liability claims relating to products manufactured or sold prior to the acquisition of the relevant business and in other cases the persons from whom the Company has acquired a business may be required to indemnify the Company for certain product liability claims subject to certain caps or limitations on indemnification, the Company cannot assure that those third parties will in fact satisfy their obligations with respect to liabilities retained by them or their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to or otherwise do not comply with their respective obligations including indemnity obligations, or if certain product liability claims for which the Company is obligated were not retained by third parties or are not subject to these indemnities, the Company could become subject to significant liabilities or other adverse consequences. Moreover, even in cases where third parties retain responsibility for product liability claims or are required to indemnify the Company, significant claims arising from products that have been acquired could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to realize the benefits from an acquisition, could result in the reduction of the value of goodwill that the Company recorded in connection with an acquisition, or could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or operations.

Disclosure of an Amendment to the Altra Industrial Motion, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Pension Plan”)

Effective June 30, 2017, the Company amended the Altra Industrial Motion, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Pension Plan”), its frozen U.S. defined benefit pension plan, to terminate the Pension Plan effective as of June 30, 2017. The Company has commenced the plan termination process and, subject to the completion of certain regulatory filings, expects to distribute the Pension Plan assets by the end of 2017. Upon regulatory approval and the distribution of plan assets, the Company expects to recognize a loss up to approximately $8.0 million during the second half of 2017 associated with the plan termination. The loss will include up to $2.0 million in cash required to terminate the pension plan and the remainder will be non-cash in nature. The unrecognized loss will be triggered upon the distribution of Pension Plan assets.

General

We are a leading global designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of electromechanical power transmission and motion control products with a presence in over 70 countries. Our global sales and marketing network includes over 1,000 direct OEM customers and over 3,000 distributor outlets. Our product portfolio includes industrial clutches and brakes, enclosed gear drives, open gearing, couplings, engineered bearing assemblies, linear components, gear motors, and other related products. Our products serve a wide variety of end markets including energy, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation and turf and garden. We primarily sell our products to a wide range of OEMs and through long-standing relationships with industrial distributors such as Motion Industries, Applied Industrial Technologies, Kaman Industrial Technologies and W.W. Grainger.

Business Segments

The Company currently operates through three business segments that are aligned with key product types and end markets served:

 

Couplings, Clutches & Brakes.

Couplings are the interface between two shafts, which enable power to be transmitted from one shaft to the other. Clutches in this segment are devices which use mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or friction type connections to facilitate engaging or disengaging two rotating members. Brakes are combinations of interacting parts that work to slow or stop machinery.  Products in this segment are generally used in heavy industrial applications and energy markets.

 

Electromagnetic Clutches & Brakes.

Products in this segment include brakes and clutches that are used to electronically slow, stop, engage or disengage equipment utilizing electromagnetic friction type connections.   Products in this segment are used in industrial and commercial markets including agricultural machinery, material handling, motion control, and turf & garden.

 

Gearing.

Gears are utilized to reduce the speed and increase the torque of an electric motor or engine to the level required to drive a particular piece of equipment.  Gears produced by the Company are primarily utilized in industrial applications.

The following tables show the percentage of net sales and operating income generated by each of our three segments for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

Our Internet address is www.altramotion.com. By following the link “Investor Relations” and then “SEC filings” on our Internet website, we make available, free of charge, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, our Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as soon as reasonably practicable after such forms are filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. We are not including the information contained on or available through our website as a part of, or incorporating such information by reference into, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Business Outlook

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we saw continued improvement in certain of our end markets that previously had been challenged, including oil and gas and mining, although incoming orders moderated somewhat compared to the first quarter of 2017. As our markets strengthen, we expect to benefit increasingly from our work during the past few years on our facility consolidation,

23


 

supply chain and operational excellence initiatives. We continue to be encouraged by the progress of the integration of our Stromag acquisition and we have already experienced an increase in cross-selling opportunities in the second quarter. We continue to seek further acquisitions, but remain highly disciplined in that pursuit.  

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on past experiences and other assumptions we believe to be appropriate, and we evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. See the discussion of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There have been no changes in the identification or application of the Company’s critical accounting policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

The increase in sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was due to the acquisition of Stromag, price increases, and higher sales levels in several end markets offset by the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates of $2.7 million. Of the increase in sales, approximately $33.3 million relates to the inclusion of additional sales as a result of the acquisition of Stromag for the quarter. In addition, price increases contributed $1.3 million to the increase during the quarter. The rest of the increase related to a recovery in sales levels in various end markets in the Couplings, Clutches, and Brakes business segment.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company adopted a restructuring plan (“2015 Altra Plan”) in response to weak demand and to make certain adjustments to improve business effectiveness, reduce the number of facilities and streamline the Company’s cost structure. The actions taken pursuant to the 2015 Altra Plan included reducing headcount and limiting discretionary spending to improve profitability. Approximately $0.5 million, $0.5 million, and $0.2 million were related to the Couplings, Clutches and Brakes segment, Gearing segment, and Corporate business segments, respectively. The Company does not expect to incur any additional material costs as a result of the 2015 Plan.

The provision for income tax, as a percentage of income before taxes, decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily due to the 2017 income in China associated with the closure of the Company’s Changzhou facility which was offset by previously recognized net operating losses.

The increase in sales during the year to date period ended June 30, 2017 was due to the acquisition of Stromag, price increases, and higher sales levels in several end markets offset by the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates of $5.4 million. Of the increase in sales, approximately $68.1 million relates to the inclusion of additional sales as a result of the acquisition of Stromag. In addition, price increases contributed $2.9 million to the increase. The rest of the increase related to a recovery in sales levels in various end markets in the Couplings, Clutches, and Brakes business segment

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased slightly during the year to date period ended June 30, 2017 primarily as a result of our plant consolidations, price increases, and improving end markets. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by the impact of acquired inventory related to the Stromag acquisition in the amount of $2.3 million which was recorded at fair value rather than cost.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company adopted a restructuring plan (“2015 Altra Plan”) in response to weak demand and to make certain adjustments to improve business effectiveness, reduce the number of facilities and streamline the Company’s cost structure. The actions taken pursuant to the 2015 Altra Plan included reducing headcount and limiting discretionary spending to improve profitability. Approximately $1.8 million, $0.8 million, and $0.5 million of the restructuring costs, associated with the 2015 Altra Plan, were related to the Couplings, Clutches and Brakes, Gearing, and Corporate, respectively. The Company does not expect to incur any additional material costs as a result of the 2015 Plan.

Interest expense decreased significantly during the period as a result of the conversion and redemption of our convertible notes and the favorable impact of the cross currency interest rate swaps despite the higher borrowing under our Credit Facility for the Stromag Acquisition.

The decrease in the provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before taxes, for the year to date period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the year to date period ended June 30, 2016 is primarily due to the 2017 income in China associated with the closure of the Company’s Changzhou facility which was offset by previously recognized net operating losses.

Couplings, Clutches & Brakes

Net sales in the Couplings, Clutches & Brakes segment were $111.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $32.8 million or 42.0%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  Approximately $26.9 million of the increase was due to the inclusion of sales from the newly acquired Stromag business for the quarter. The remainder of the increase was due to a modest recovery in certain end markets.  Segment operating income increased approximately $4.5 million compared to the prior period primarily as a result of the addition of Stromag and plant consolidations.

Electromagnetic Clutches & Brakes

Net sales in the Electromagnetic Clutches & Brakes segment were $65.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $8.2 million, or 14.4%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Approximately $6.4 million of the increase was due to the inclusion of sales from the newly acquired Stromag business in the quarter. Segment operating income increased $1.1 million compared to the prior period primarily as a result of the addition of Stromag.

Gearing

Net sales in the Gearing segment were $49.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, which were the same as they were in the prior year.  Segment operating income increased $0.7 million compared to the prior period primarily as a result of the impact of the restructuring activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We finance our capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (defined below). We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures, acquisitions, pensions, dividends and share repurchases. In the event additional funds are needed for operations, we could borrow additional funds available under our existing Revolving Credit Facility, request an expansion by up to $150 million of the amount available to be borrowed under the 2015 Credit Agreement, attempt to secure new debt, attempt to refinance our loans under the 2015 Credit Agreement, or attempt to raise capital in the equity markets. As of June 30, 2017, we have the ability under our Revolving Credit Facility to borrow an additional $113.3 million based on current availability calculations. There can be no assurance however that additional debt financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Similarly, there can be no assurance that equity financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On October 22, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Altra Industrial Motion Netherlands, B.V. (“Altra Netherlands”), one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the lenders party to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), to be guaranteed through a Guarantee Agreement by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”; the Guarantors collectively with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”), and which may be amended from time to time (the “2015 Credit Agreement”).

Under the 2015 Credit Agreement, the amount of our Revolving Credit Facility was increased to $350 million (the “2015 Revolving Credit Facility”). The amounts available under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and to repay existing indebtedness.

The stated maturity of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is October 22, 2020.

The amounts available under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility may be drawn upon in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement. All amounts outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility are due on the stated maturity or such earlier time, if any, required under the 2015 Credit Agreement. The amounts owed under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time, subject to usual notification and breakage payment provisions. Interest on the amounts outstanding under the credit facilities is calculated using either an ABR Rate or Eurodollar Rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for Eurodollar Loans are between 1.25% to 2.00%, and for ABR Loans are between 0.25% and 1.00%. The amounts of the margins are calculated based on either a consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement), or the then applicable rating(s) of the Company’s debt if and then to the extent as provided in the 2015 Credit Agreement. A portion of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility may also be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies. The 2015 Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which among other things, will require the Borrowers to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders, require the Company to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated leverage and interest coverage, limit maximum annual capital expenditures, and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock or debt, make certain investments, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The 2015 Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

On October 21, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to amend its 2015 Credit Agreement.  This amendment, which became effective upon closing of Altra’s purchase of Stromag, which was December 30, 2016, increased the Company’s 2015 Revolving Credit Facility by $75 million to $425 million.  The Company borrowed additional funds under the increased facility to finance its purchase of Stromag.  The amendment also reset the possible expansion of up to $150 million of additional future loan commitments.  In addition, the amendment increased the multicurrency sublimit to $250 million and adjusted certain financial covenants.  

Ratification Agreement

Pursuant to an Omnibus Reaffirmation and Ratification and Amendment of Collateral Documents entered into on October 22, 2015 in connection with the 2015 Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent (the “Ratification Agreement”), the Loan Parties (exclusive of the foreign subsidiary Borrower) have reaffirmed their obligations to the

28


 

Lenders under the Pledge and Security Agreement dated November 20, 2012 (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which each Loan Party pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all personal property, whether now owned by or owing to, or after acquired by or arising in favor of such Loan Party (including under any trade name or derivations), and whether owned or consigned by or to, or leased from or to, such Loan Party, and regardless of where located, except for specific excluded personal property identified in the Pledge and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include, among other items, more than 65% of the capital stock of the first tier foreign subsidiaries of the Company. The Pledge and Security Agreement contains other customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The 2015 Credit Agreement provides that the obligation to grant the security interest can cease upon the obtaining of certain corporate family credit ratings for the Company, but the obligation to grant a security interest is subject to subsequent reinstatement if the ratings are not maintained as provided in the 2015 Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to the Ratification Agreement, the Loan Parties (other than the foregoing subsidiary Borrower) have also reaffirmed their obligations under each of the Patent Security Agreement and a Trademark Security Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent dated November 20, 2012 (the “2012 Security Agreements”) pursuant to which each of the Loan Parties signatory thereto pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all registered patents, patent applications, registered trademarks and trademark applications owned by such Loan Parties.

Additional Trademark Security Agreement and Patent Security Agreement

In connection with the reaffirmation of the Pledge and Security Agreement, certain of the Loan Parties delivered a new Patent Security Agreement and a new Trademark Security Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to which each of the Loan Parties signatory thereto pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all registered patents, patent applications, registered trademarks and trademark applications owned by such Loan Parties and not covered by the 2012 Security Agreements.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31,2016 we had $295.2 million and $313.6 million outstanding on our 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $4.5 million, and $4.1 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. We had $113.3 million available to borrow under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2017. On October 21, 2016, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

We were in compliance in all material respects with all covenants of the indenture governing the 2015 Credit Agreement at June 30, 2017.

Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2011, the Company issued Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) due March 1, 2031. The Convertible Notes were guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the Convertible Notes was payable semi-annually in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2011 at an annual rate of 2.75%. Proceeds from the offering were $81.3 million, net of fees and expenses that were capitalized.

On December 12, 2016 the Company gave notice to the holders of the Convertible Notes of its intention to redeem all of the Convertible Notes outstanding on January 12, 2017 (the “Redemption Date”), pursuant to the optional redemption provisions in the Indenture. The redemption price for the Convertible Notes was 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date plus a Make-Whole Premium equal to the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest on any Convertible Notes through March 1, 2018 (excluding interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date).  In lieu of receiving the redemption price, holders of the Notes could surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion at any time before January 9, 2017. The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes was 39.0809 shares of the Company’s common stock, for each $1,000 of outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2016 approximately $39.3 million notes were converted resulting in the issuance of 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the conversion, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.9 million and the carrying value of the Convertible Notes was $42.9 million as of December 31, 2016. In January 2017, the remaining principal was converted to common stock, with the exception of $0.9 million that was redeemed for cash. The Company incurred an additional loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Cash Flows for 2017

Net cash provided from operating activities was approximately $26.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2017. This was generated by net income of $25.7 million and the net impact of the add-back of certain items including non-cash depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, accretion of debt discount, amortization of deferred financing costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, loss on disposal of fixed assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustment and non-cash loss on foreign currency which was approximately $25.3 million. This was partially offset by a net increase in current assets and liabilities of approximately $25.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year to date period ended June 30, 2017 decreased approximately $0.7 million compared to the year to date period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is attributed to the completion of the working capital adjustment under the Stromag sale and purchase agreement.  

Net cash used in financing activities in the year to date period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the year to date period ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $5.1 million. This decrease relates primarily to the purchases of common stock under the share repurchase program of $4.4 million in the year to date period ended June 30, 2016, as well as payment of debt under the Revolving Credit Facility for the year to date period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the year to date period ended June 30, 2017 of $7.4 million.  This amount is offset by additional dividends paid in the year to date period ended June 30, 2017 of $4.4 million.  

We intend to use our remaining cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations to provide for our working capital needs, to fund potential future acquisitions, to service our debt, including principal payments, for capital expenditures, for pension funding, share repurchases and to pay dividends to our stockholders. As of June 30, 2017 we have approximately $55.3 million of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries that are generally subject to U.S. income taxation on repatriation to the U.S. We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating and investing cash needs. Furthermore, the existing cash balances and the availability of additional borrowings under our 2015 Revolving Credit Facility provide additional potential sources of liquidity should they be required.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes in our contractual obligations during the period ended June 30, 2017.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

On October 19, 2016, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the buyback of up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2019. This plan, which was announced on October 21, 2016, replaces the previous share repurchase program which was terminated. The Company expects to purchase shares on the open market, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with SEC Rule 10b-18 (including through Rule 10b5-1 plans), or in any other appropriate manner. The timing of the shares repurchased will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including price, market conditions and regulatory requirements. Shares acquired through the repurchase program will be retired. The Company retains the right to limit, terminate or extend the share repurchase program at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund any further repurchases of its common stock through a combination of cash on hand and cash generated by operations.

Disclosure of an Amendment to the Altra Industrial Motion, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Pension Plan”)

Effective June 30, 2017, the Company amended the Altra Industrial Motion, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Pension Plan”), its frozen U.S. defined benefit pension plan, to terminate the Pension Plan effective as of June 30, 2017. The Company has commenced the plan termination process and, subject to the completion of certain regulatory filings, expects to distribute the Pension Plan assets by the end of 2017. Upon regulatory approval and the distribution of plan assets, the Company expects to recognize a loss up to approximately $8.0 million during the second half of 2017 associated with the plan termination. The loss will include up to $2.0 million in cash required to terminate the pension plan and the remainder will be non-cash in nature. The unrecognized loss will be triggered upon the distribution of Pension Plan assets.
