THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004

 

1.  Accounting Policies

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly state the results of operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the financial position at September 30, 2005 and except as otherwise discussed, such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature.  The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year and do not contain information included in the company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the company’s latest annual report.

 

All dollar amounts, except per share amounts, are in thousands of dollars throughout the tables included in these notes unless otherwise indicated.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  See Note 2, for further details.

 

2. Discontinued Operations

 

During the third quarter of 2005, the company decided to close Toledo Ship Repair Company (Toledo Ship Repair), a division of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Manitowoc Marine Group, LLC.  Located in Toledo, Ohio, Toledo Ship Repair performed ship repair and industrial repair services.  As a result of the closure, the company recorded a $5.2 million pre-tax ($3.4 million after tax) charge for costs related to the closure of the business.  This charge included $0.2 million related to severance agreements; $1.0 million for future lease payments; $0.3 million for the write-off of goodwill related to this business; $2.2 million for the write-down of certain assets (primarily property, plant and equipment and inventory) to estimated salvage value; and $1.5 million for closing and other related costs.  This charge is recorded in loss on sale or closure of discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The closure of Toledo Ship Repair represents a discontinued operation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  Results of Toledo Ship Repair in current and prior periods have been classified as discontinued in the Consolidated Financial Statements to exclude the results from continuing operations.

 

The following selected financial data of Toledo Ship Repair for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 is presented for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the business operated as a stand-alone entity.  There was no general corporate expense or interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for this business during the periods presented.

During the second quarter of 2004, the company completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta Manlift SAS (Delta), to JLG Industries, Inc.  Headquartered in Tonneins, France, Delta manufactures the Toucan brand of vertical mast lifts, a line of aerial work platforms distributed throughout Europe for use principally in industrial and maintenance operations.  The company received $9.0 million for Delta and certain other assets of the company’s Aerial Work Platform (AWP) businesses.  As a result of the sale and additional reserves for the closures of the other AWP businesses, the company recorded a $1.0 million pre-tax gain ($0.7 million net of taxes).  This gain was recorded in gain on sale or closure of discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the second quarter of 2004.  Delta was acquired in August 2002 as part of the acquisition of Grove Investors, Inc. (Grove).  During December 2003, the company completed plans to restructure its AWP businesses.  The restructuring included the closure of the Potain GmbH (Liftlux) facility in Dillingen, Germany and discontinuation of U.S. Manlift production at the Shady Grove, Pennsylvania facility.  With the sale of Delta and the closure of the Liftlux and U.S. Manlift operations, the company no longer participates in the aerial work platform market, other than providing aftermarket parts and service support.  The sale of Delta, the closure of Liftlux and the discontinuation of the U.S. Manlift production represent discontinued operations under SFAS No. 144.  Results of these companies have been classified as discontinued to exclude the results from continuing operations.

 

The following selected financial data of the AWP businesses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 is presented for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the business operated as a stand-alone entity.  There was no activity related to the AWP business during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.  There were no general corporate expenses or interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for this business during the periods presented.

During the fourth quarter of 2003 the company terminated its distributor agreement with North Central Crane & Excavator Sales Corporation (North Central Crane), a wholly-owned crane distributor.  The company entered into a new distributor agreement with an independent third party for the area previously covered by North Central Crane.  The termination of North Central Crane represents a discontinued operation under SFAS No. 144, as this was the company’s only wholly-owned domestic crane distributor. The results of this company have been classified as discontinued to exclude the results from continuing operations.

 

The following selected financial data of North Central Crane for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 is presented for informational purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the business operated as a stand-alone entity.  There was no activity related to North Central Crane during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.  There were no general corporate expenses or interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for this business during the periods presented.

During May 2005, the company issued a total of 45 thousand shares of restricted stock with a fair market value of $40.56 at the date of grant to certain employees and non-employee directors.  The restricted shares are shares of company stock that cannot be sold or otherwise transferred during a specified vesting period from the date of issuance.  The restrictions on transfer lapse on the third anniversary of the grant date.  When the restrictions lapse, the employee or director will own the shares outright without any payment, except the payment of applicable, federal, state and local withholding taxes.  At the date of grant the company recorded $1.8 million of unearned compensation in stockholders’ equity.  This amount is being recognized as compensation expense over the three year vesting period.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the company recognized approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million , respectively, of compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the company recognized approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to restricted stock which was issued during 2002.

 

5.  Contingencies and Significant Estimates

 

The company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERLA) in connection with the Lemberger Landfill Superfund Site near Manitowoc, Wisconsin.  Approximately 150 potentially responsible parties have been identified as having shipped hazardous materials to this site.  Eleven of those, including the company, have formed the Lemberger Site Remediation Group and have successfully negotiated with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to fund the cleanup and settle their potential liability at this site.  Estimates indicate that the total costs to clean up this site are approximately $30 million.  However, the ultimate allocations of costs for this site are not yet final.  Although liability is joint and several, the company’s share of the liability is estimated to be 11% of the total cost.  Prior to December 31, 1996, the company accrued $3.3 million in connection with this matter.   Remediation work at the site has been substantially completed, with only long-term pumping and treating of groundwater and site maintenance remaining.  The company’s remaining estimated liability for this matter, included in other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2005 is $0.5 million.  Based on the size of the company’s current allocation of liabilities at this site, the existence of other viable potential responsible parties and current reserve, the company does not believe that any liability imposed in connection with this site will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

At certain of the company’s other facilities, the company has identified potential contaminants in soil and groundwater.  The ultimate cost of any remediation required will depend upon the results of future investigation.  Based upon available information, the company does not expect the ultimate costs will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

The company believes that it has obtained and is in substantial compliance with those material environmental permits and approvals necessary to conduct its various businesses.  Based on the facts presently known, the company does not expect environmental compliance costs to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

As of September 30, 2005, various product-related lawsuits were pending.  To the extent permitted under applicable law, all of these are insured with self-insurance retention levels.  The company’s self-insurance retention levels vary by business, and have fluctuated over the last five years.  The range of the company’s self-insured retention levels is $0.1 million to $3.0 million per occurrence.  The high-end of the company’s self-insurance retention level is a legacy product liability insurance

program inherited in the Grove acquisition in 2002 for cranes manufactured in the United States for occurrences from January 2000 through October 2002.  As of September 30, 2005, the largest self-insured retention level currently maintained by the company is $2.0 million per occurrence and applies to product liability claims for cranes manufactured in the United States.

 

Product liability reserves in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2005, were $29.6 million; $7.3 million reserved specifically for cases and $22.3 million for claims incurred but not reported which were estimated using actuarial methods.  Based on the company’s experience in defending product liability claims, management believes the current reserves are adequate for estimated case resolutions on aggregate self-insured claims and insured claims.  Any recoveries from insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims and solvency of insurance carriers.

 

At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the company had reserved $48.0 million and $46.5 million, respectively, for warranty claims included in product warranties and other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Certain of these warranty and other related claims involve matters in dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiations, arbitration, or litigation.

 

It is reasonably possible that the estimates for environmental remediation, product liability and warranty costs may change in the near future based upon new information that may arise or matters that are beyond the scope of the company’s historical experience.  Presently, there are no reliable methods to estimate the amount of any such potential changes.

 

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

 

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

 

The company has been in negotiations with one of its Marine customers to recover certain cost overruns that resulted from change orders related to a particular contract.  During the third quarter of 2005, due to the fact that these negotiations were not successful within the timeframe desired by the company, the company filed a lawsuit seeking recovery of these cost overruns from the customer.  The amount of recovery included in the company’s estimates of this long-term project’s revenues is $10.2 million as of September 30, 2005.  Although the damages portion of the lawsuit has not yet been formalized, the company intends to seek recovery in an amount in excess of the amount currently on the balance sheet.  If the company is unsuccessful in its recovery of costs as a result of this lawsuit, the impact on its Consolidated Statements of Operations in a future period could be material.  In addition, the company has $7.7 million of progress payment receivables outstanding with this customer as of September 30, 2005.  The customer continues to make regular payments on these outstanding receivables in the normal course of business and therefore the company has determined these amounts to be collectible at this time.

 

During the first quarter of 2004, the company reached a settlement agreement with a third party and recorded a $2.3 million gain, net of legal and settlement costs, in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

At September 30, 2005, the company is contingently liable under open standby letters of credit issued by the company’s bank in favor of third parties totaling $26.2 million.

 

6. Debt and Loss on Debt Extinguishment

 

In June 2005, the company entered into a five-year, $300 million, secured revolving credit facility, which replaced the company’s $125 million revolving credit facility that was due to expire in May 2006.  Borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, which is based on the company’s consolidated total leverage ratio as defined by the credit agreement.  The annual commitment fee in effect at September 30, 2005 on the unused portion of the secured revolving credit facility was 0.25%.  As of September 30, 2005, there was no amount outstanding under the secured revolving credit facility.  During June 2005, the company recorded a charge of $0.8 million ($0.6 million net of income taxes) for deferred financing costs related to the termination of the previous $125 million revolving credit facility.

In December 2004, the company sold, pursuant to an underwritten public offering, approximately 3.0 million shares of its common stock at a price of $36.25 per share.   Net cash proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, were $104.9 million.  In addition to underwriting discounts and commissions, the company incurred approximately $0.6 million of accounting, legal and other expenses related to the offering that were charged to additional paid-in capital. The company used a portion of the proceeds to redeem approximately $61.3 million of the 10 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2012 and to pay the prepayment premium to the note holders of $6.4 million.  The company used the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

 

On January 10, 2005, the company completed the redemption of $61.3 million of the 10 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2012.  As a result of this redemption, the company incurred a charge of approximately $8.3 million ($5.4 million net of income taxes) for the early extinguishment of debt related to the prepayment premium paid to the note holders of $6.4 million, and the partial write-off of debt issuance costs of $1.9 million.  The charge was recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

During the third quarter of 2004, the company recorded a charge of $0.5 million ($0.4 million net of income taxes) related to the prepayment of the term loan B portion of its senior credit facility.  The loss relates to the write-off of unamortized financing fees and unwinding of the company’s floating-to-fixed interest rate swap.  In addition, during the first quarter of 2004, the company recorded a charge of $0.6 million ($0.4 million net of income taxes) related to the partial prepayment of the term loan B portion of its senior credit facility.  The loss also relates to the write-off of unamortized financing fees and partial unwinding of the company’s floating-to-fixed interest rate swap.  The charge was recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

8. Guarantees

 

The company periodically enters into transactions with customers that provide for residual value guarantees and buyback commitments.  These transactions are recorded as operating leases for all significant residual value guarantees and for all buyback commitments.  These initial transactions are recorded as deferred revenue and are amortized to income on a straight-line basis over a period equal to that of the customer’s third party financing agreement.  The deferred revenue included in other current and non-current liabilities at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $119.6 million and $124.1 million, respectively.  The total amount of residual value guarantees and buyback commitments given by the company and outstanding at September 30, 2005 was $138.8 million.  This amount is not reduced for amounts the company may recover from repossessing and subsequent resale of the units.  The residual value guarantees and buyback commitments expire at various times through 2010.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004, the company sold $4.4 million and $25.8 million, respectively, of its long term notes receivable to third party financing companies. The company fully guarantees collection of the notes to the financing companies.  The company has accounted for the sales of the notes as a financing of receivables.  The receivables remain on the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of payments made, in other non-current assets and the company has recognized an obligation equal to the net outstanding balance of the notes in other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The cash flow benefit of these transactions, net of payments made by the customer, are reflected as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 the customers have paid $4.4 million of the notes to the third party financing companies.  As of September 30, 2005, the outstanding balance of the notes receivables guaranteed by the company was $23.2 million.

 

11



 

The company also has an accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a bank.  Under this arrangement, the company is required to repurchase from the bank the first $1.0 million and amounts greater than $1.5 million of the aggregate uncollected receivables during a twelve-month period.  The company’s contingent factoring liability, net of cash collected from customers was $26.5 million and $39.4 million at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

 

In the normal course of business, the company provides its customers a warranty covering workmanship, and in some cases materials, on products manufactured by the company.  Such warranty generally provides that products will be free from defects for periods ranging from 12 months to 60 months.  If a product fails to comply with the company’s warranty, the company may be obligated, at its expense, to correct any defect by repairing or replacing such defective products.  The company provides for an estimate of costs that may be incurred under its warranty at the time product revenue is recognized.  These costs primarily include labor and materials, as necessary, associated with repair or replacement.  The primary factors that affect the company’s warranty liability include the number of units shipped and historical and anticipated warranty claims.  As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary.  Below is a table summarizing the warranty activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

9. Restructuring and Plant Consolidation

 

During the third quarter of 2005, the company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $3.2 million in connection with the consolidation of its Kolpak operation located in Wisconsin with its Kolpak operation located in Tennessee. This action was taken in an effort to streamline the company’s cost structure and utilize available capacity.  The charge included $1.5 million to write-down the facility and land, which are held for sale, to estimated fair market value less cost to sell; $0.7 million related to the write-down of certain equipment; $0.1 million to write-off excess inventory which will not be transferred to Tennessee; $0.5 million related to severance and other employee related costs; and $0.5 million for other related closing costs.  This charge has been included in restructuring and plant consolidation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The following is the rollforward of the restructuring reserve as of September 30, 2005.

During the second and third quarter of 2004, the company incurred approximately $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of restructuring costs related to the consolidation of certain of its European crane facilities under programs implemented in 2003.  These charges have been included in restructuring and plant consolidation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.  All of this restructuring reserve has been utilized as of September 30, 2005.

During the second quarter of 2002, the company finalized the purchase accounting for the acquisition of Potain SA (Potain), which included recording an $8.1 million liability associated with certain restructuring and integration activities.  To achieve reductions in operating costs and to integrate the operations of Potain, the company recorded an $8.1 million liability related primarily to employee severance benefits for workforce reductions.  Approximately 135 hourly and salaried positions were eliminated.  To date the company has utilized approximately $5.3 million of this liability.  The remainder of this reserve will be utilized through 2006 based upon the underlying contractual arrangements.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2002, the company completed certain integration activities related to the Grove acquisition and other restructuring activities in the Crane segment.  The total amount recognized by the company for these integration and restructuring activities was $12.1 million.  Of this amount $4.4 million was recorded in the opening balance sheet of Grove and $7.7 million was recorded as a charge to earnings during the fourth quarter of 2002.  These actions were taken in an effort to achieve reductions in operating costs, integrate and consolidate certain operations and functions within the segment and to utilize available capacity.  The $4.4 million recorded in Grove’s opening balance sheet related to severance and other employee related costs for headcount reductions at various Grove facilities.  The $7.7 million charge included $4.0 million related to severance and other employee related costs for headcount reductions at various Manitowoc and Potain facilities, $2.7 million related to the write-down of certain property, plant and equipment, and $1.0 million related to lease termination costs.  In total, approximately 600 hourly and salaried positions were eliminated and four facilities were consolidated into other Crane operations.  All of this restructuring reserve has been utilized as of September 30, 2005.

 

10. Employee Benefit Plans

 

The company provides certain pension, health care and death benefits for eligible retirees and their dependents.  The pension benefits are funded, while the health care and death benefits are not funded but are paid as incurred.  Eligibility for coverage is based on meeting certain years of service and retirement qualifications.  These benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions, and other limitations.  The company has reserved the right to modify these benefits.

 

The components of periodic benefit costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

12. Recent Accounting Changes and Pronouncements

 

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 seeks to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) in the determination of inventory carrying costs. The statement requires such costs to be treated as a current period expense. This statement is effective for the company on January 1, 2006.  The company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

During December 2004, the FASB revised SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123-Revised supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and will require all companies to estimate the fair value of incentive stock options granted and then amortize that estimated fair value to expense over the options’ vesting period. SFAS No. 123-Revised is effective for all annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The company currently accounts for its stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations. No employee or outside director compensation costs related to stock option grants are currently reflected in net earnings. The company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123-Revised on January 1, 2006. See Note 4, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for pro forma information if the company had elected to adopt the requirements of the previously issued SFAS No. 123.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 is effective for the company on July 1, 2005. The company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective applications to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. In addition, this statement requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. This new accounting standard is effective January 1, 2006. The company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

13. Subsidiary Guarantors of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and 2012 and Senior Notes due 2013

 

The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for (a) the parent company, The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (Parent); (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and 2012 and Senior Notes due 2013, which include substantially all of the domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries of the company (Subsidiary Guarantors); and (c) on a combined basis, the wholly and partially owned foreign subsidiaries of the company, which do not guarantee the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and 2012 and Senior Notes due 2013 (Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries).  Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because each of the subsidiary guarantors is 100% owned and the guarantors are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally liable under the guarantees.

During the third quarter of 2005 we completed plans to close our ship repair business in Ohio known as Toledo Ship Repair Company and decided to divest ourselves of  Diversified Refrigeration, Inc., our private-label contract manufacturing Foodservice operation in Tennessee.  We have reported the results of these operations as discontinued and have restated prior period amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  Prior period amounts throughout this Management Discussion and Analysis have been restated to reflect the reporting of these operations as discontinued.

 

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased 22.6% to $564.9 million, from $460.8 million for the same period in 2004.  The increase in sales was driven by the Crane and Foodservice segments and was partially offset by lower sales in the Marine segment.  Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased 24.5% to $1.7 billion, from $1.3 billion for the same period in 2004.  All three of our segments had increased sales during the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004.

 

Net sales from the Crane segment for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased 32.4% to $404.9 million versus $305.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net sales increased 33.7% to $1.2 billion compared to $890.1 million for the first nine months of 2004.  Net sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased over the prior year in all major geographic regions, as well as our aftermarket sales and service business.  From a product line standpoint this sales increase was driven by increased volumes of tower and mobile hydraulic cranes worldwide, increased sales in our aftermarket sales and service business, increased crawler crane sales in Europe and Asia, and increased boom truck sales in North America.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 versus the same period in 2004, the stronger Euro currency compared to the U.S. Dollar had an approximate 1.3% favorable impact on sales.  Foreign exchange rates did not have a measurable impact on the comparison of net sales for the third quarter in 2005 versus the same period in 2004.  As of September 30, 2005, total Crane segment backlog was $632.6 million, an 86.0% increase over the December 31, 2004 backlog, which was $340.0 million.

 

Net sales from the Foodservice segment increased 8.7% to $108.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 versus the three months ended September 30, 2004.  Net sales from the Foodservice segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased 5.5% to $308.8 million compared to $292.7 million.  The increased sales in the Foodservice segment in both periods were driven by higher sales in the ice and beverage divisions offset by lower sales in the refrigeration division.  The majority of the increase in sales was the result of larger sales volumes and increased pricing due to higher commodity costs.  The higher volumes in the ice and beverage divisions were driven by the hotter-than-normal weather throughout much of the United States during the third quarter of 2005.  The decrease in sales of the refrigeration division reflects a slowing in the rate of new restaurant construction in the United States as well as the timing of larger new construction projects.

Net sales from the Marine segment of $51.2 million in the third quarter of 2005 were down 6.8% compared to the third quarter of 2004.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, sales of $166.1 million were 7.5% above sales for the first nine months of 2004.   The reduction in sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was a result of three long-term new-construction contracts being substantially completed during the second quarter of 2005.  These three contracts generated sales throughout 2004 and through the first six months of 2005.  The increase in net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was a result of higher commercial contract revenue during the first six months of 2005 and a strong 2005 winter repair season.

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $110.4 million, an increase of 18.7% over the consolidated gross profit of $93.0 million for the same period in 2004.  Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $321.5 million, an increase of 14.4% over the consolidated gross profit of $281.0 million for the same period in 2004.  The increase in consolidated gross profit was primarily driven by significantly higher gross profit in the Crane segment on increased volume and productivity gains.  Gross profit margin in the Crane segment improved by 0.9 percentage points in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  Third quarter 2005 gross profit for the Foodservice segment increased by 0.2 percentage points compared to the third quarter of 2004.  The Foodservice segment’s gross profit for the third quarter of 2005 was positively impacted by higher sales volume as explained above and by a favorable product sales mix during the quarter. The Marine segment’s gross profit for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was down significantly from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.  For the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2004, the Marine segment gross margin was negatively affected by production inefficiencies experienced during the completion of three new construction contracts during 2005.  In addition, the majority of the net sales and margin in the third quarter of 2005 was from a first-run prototype military vessel that is structured as a cost plus contract.  This prototype vessel has a relatively low margin.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the margin was negatively affected by labor inefficiencies and cost overruns experienced on specific construction contracts.

 

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2005 increased approximately $6.5 million or 10% compared to the third quarter of 2004.  This increase was primarily driven by increased engineering expense related to new product development, costs associated with the ongoing Foodservice ERP system implementation, and increased employee costs related to commissions and employee incentives.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased $7.4 million versus the same period in 2004.  The reasons for this nine month increase were the same as those for the third quarter described above.

 

During the third quarter of 2005, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $3.2 million in connection with the consolidation of our Kolpak operation located in Wisconsin with our Kolpak operation located in Tennessee.  This action was taken in an effort to streamline the company’s cost structure and utilize available capacity.  The charge included $1.5 million to write-down the facility and land, which are held for sale, to estimated fair market value less cost to sell, $0.7 million related to the write-down of certain equipment, $0.1 million to write-off excess inventory which will not be transferred to Tennessee, $0.5 million related to severance and other employee related costs, and $0.5 million for other related closing costs.  This charge has been included in restructuring and plant consolidation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Crane segment reported net operating earnings of $28.9 million compared to $12.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Crane segment reported net operating earnings of $83.1 million compared to $38.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  Crane segment operating earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 includes amortization expense of $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.  Crane segment operating earnings for both the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 includes amortization expense of $2.3 million.  Crane segment operating earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 includes a charge of $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, related to restructuring activities.  The prior year restructuring charge relates to costs incurred during the second and third quarter of 2004 for the consolidation of certain of our European crane facilities.  These charges have been included in restructuring and plant consolidation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.  Operating earnings of the Crane segment for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, were positively affected by increased volume across all regions and products, other than North America crawler cranes, productivity gains as a result of consolidation efforts during the past several years and more effective leveraging of engineering, selling and administrative expenses on higher sales volumes.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, operating earnings were positively affected by $1.5 million due to the consolidation impact of the stronger Euro versus the U.S. Dollar in the current year period.

 

Operating earnings in the Foodservice segment decreased 15.0% to $15.3 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $18.0 million for the third quarter of 2004.  Operating earnings in the Foodservice segment decreased 5.5% to $44.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $46.5 million for the same period in 2004.    Operating earnings in the Foodservice segment for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes a restructuring charge of $3.2 million related to the consolidation of the Kolpak operations.  The restructuring charge is the reason for the decrease in the operating earnings from period to period.   Excluding the restructuring charges, the Foodservice operating earnings increased from the prior year for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.  This increase is the result of growth in ice and beverage division sales volumes.

 

Marine segment operating earnings decreased $3.5 million to a loss of $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2005 compared to a gain of $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2004.  Operating earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $1.0 million compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2004.  Marine segment operating earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were negatively affected by material cost increases and production inefficiencies experienced on certain construction contracts.  Several of these contracts were fixed price contracts which were bid and awarded prior to the unprecedented rise in steel and other commodities costs during the past year.  Labor inefficiencies were incurred due to delays and disruption caused by customer change orders and a larger mix of first-time or limited vessel construction projects.  In addition, the large number of projects in process at the same time in our shipyards, a shortage of available specific skilled labor, and project rework requirements all resulted in greater than normal utilization of costlier subcontract labor on certain contracts.  For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the majority of the operating earnings were from a first-run military prototype vessel that is structured as a cost plus contract.  This prototype vessel has a relatively low margin.

 

Analysis of Non-Operating Income Statement Items

 

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 decreased slightly compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.  This decrease is the result of lower average debt levels and a lower Euro versus U.S. Dollar exchange rate in 2005, partially offset by an increase in the variable interest rate portion of outstanding debt balances.

 

During June 2005, we recorded a charge of $0.8 million ($0.6 million net of income taxes) to write-off deferred financing costs related to the termination of our previous $125 million revolving credit facility.  In addition, on January 10, 2005, we redeemed $61.3 million of our 10 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2012.  As a result of this redemption, we incurred a charge of approximately $8.3 million ($5.4 million net of income taxes) for the early extinguishment of debt related to the prepayment premium of $6.4 million paid to the note holders, and the partial write-off of debt issuance costs of $1.9 million.  Both of these charges were recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

During the third quarter of 2004, we recorded a charge of $0.5 million ($0.4 million net of income taxes) related to the prepayment of the term loan B portion of our previous senior credit facility.  This charge relates to the write-off of unamortized financing fees and the unwinding of a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap.  In addition, during the first quarter of 2004, we recorded a charge of $0.6 million ($0.4 million net of income taxes) related to the partial prepayment of the term loan B portion of our previous senior credit facility.  This charge also relates to the write-off of unamortized financing fees and partial unwinding of a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap.  This charge was also recorded in loss on debt extinguishment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was 19.8% compared to 26.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  The lower effective tax rate in 2005 compared to 2004 was the result of the realization of certain tax benefits during the second quarter of 2005 that were previously reserved due to their previous uncertainty regarding realization and the recognition of a partial tax credit during the third quarter of 2005 related to research and development projects.

 

As a result of the above, earnings from continuing operations were $20.9 million and $51.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $11.7 million and $28.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.

 

The loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 reflects the operating results of the following discontinued businesses: Toledo Ship Repair Company (Toledo Ship Repair), Diversified Refrigeration, Inc (DRI),  the Aerial Work Platform (AWP) businesses, and North Central Crane & Excavator Sales Corporation (North Central Crane).

 

During the third quarter of 2005, we decided to close Toledo Ship Repair Company (Toledo Ship Repair), a division of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Manitowoc Marine Group, LLC.  Located in Toledo, Ohio, Toledo Ship Repair performed ship repair and industrial building services.  As a result of this closure, we recorded a $5.2 million pre-tax ($3.4 million after tax) charge for costs related to the closure of the business.  This charge included $0.2 million related to severance agreements; $1.0 for future lease payments; $0.3 for the write-off of goodwill related to this business; $2.2 million for the write-down of certain assets (primarily property, plant and equipment and inventory) to estimated salvage value; and $1.5 million for closing and other related costs.  This charge is recorded in gain (loss) on sale or closure of discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

During the third quarter of 2005, we decided to divest ourselves of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Diversified Refrigeration, Inc. (DRI).  DRI is our private-label Foodservice contract manufacturing operation located in Tennessee.

 

During the second quarter of 2004, we completed the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta Manlift SAS (Delta) and certain other assets of our Aerial Work Platform (AWP) businesses, to JLG Industries, Inc.  Headquartered in Tonneins, France, Delta manufactures the Toucan brand of vertical mast lifts, a line of aerial work platforms distributed throughout Europe for use principally in industrial and maintenance operations.  We received $9.0 million for the sale of Delta and certain other assets of our AWP businesses.  As a result of the sale and additional reserves for the closures of the other AWP businesses, we recorded a $1.0 million pre-tax gain ($0.7 million net of taxes).  This gain was recorded in gain on sale or closure of discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the second quarter of 2004.  Delta was acquired in August 2002 as part of the acquisition of Grove Investors Inc. (Grove).  During December 2003, we completed plans to restructure our AWP businesses.  The restructuring included the closure of the Potain GmbH (Liftlux) facility in Dillingen, Germany and the discontinuation of U.S. Manlift production at the Shady Grove, Pennsylvania facility.  With the sale of Delta and the closure of the Liftlux and U.S. Manlift operations, we no longer participate in the aerial work platform market, other than providing aftermarket parts and service support.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2003 we terminated our distributor agreement with North Central Crane, a wholly-owned crane distributor.  We entered into a new distributor agreement with an independent third party for the area previously covered by North Central Crane.

Financial Condition

 

First Nine Months of 2005

 

During the first nine months of 2005, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $57.8 million.  On January 10, 2005, we completed the redemption of $61.3 million of our 10 ½% senior subordinated notes due 2012, which required us to pay a premium to the note holders of $6.4 million.  During the first nine months of 2005, accounts receivable and inventory increased $36.7 million and $101.7 million, respectively.  These increases are primarily the result of higher sales in the Crane segment, increased backlog in the Crane segment and traditional seasonal inventory build-up in the Foodservice segment.  Offsetting these increases in operating assets was a $48.0 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, primarily associated with the increased inventory.

 

Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2005 were $35.0 million.  The company continues to invest capital in the Foodservice segment’s ERP system, the new China manufacturing facilities in the Crane and Foodservice segments, production machinery and equipment, and new product tooling.

 

During the first nine months of 2005, the company paid three quarterly dividends totaling $6.3 million.  At its February 2005 meeting, the board of directors approved changing to a quarterly dividend from an annual dividend beginning in the first quarter of 2005.

 

As discussed in the liquidity and capital resources section below, during June 2005, we entered into a new five year, $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility.  As a result, we incurred approximately $1.8 million of debt issuance costs.

 

First Nine Months of 2004

 

During the first nine months of 2004, cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $7.7 million.  During the first nine months of 2004 we built inventory to accommodate the large increase in backlog in the Crane segment and have increased our crane shipments to Asia which results in cranes remaining in inventory for a longer period of time due to shipment times.  In addition, inventory values were impacted by higher commodity costs.  Offsetting the increase in inventory were net earnings of $33.7 million, a reduction in accounts receivable of $14.8 million, and an increase in payables and other liabilities of approximately $67.6 million due to purchases of inventory and timing of payments.

 

Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2004 were $26.4 million.  The primary expenditures were for an ERP system in the Foodservice segment, new equipment purchases in the Marine segment, and new product tooling costs. In addition, the company received $9.0 million of cash from the sale of Delta during the second quarter of 2004.  These cash proceeds are reported in the discontinued operations section of the cash flow from investing activities.

 

During the first nine months of 2004, we prepaid the entire term loan B portion of our previous senior credit facility, which resulted in a cash outflow of $17.9 million.

 

During the first nine months of 2004, we sold $28.6 million of our long term notes receivable to third party financing companies.  We have agreed to provide recourse on the notes to the financing company.  We have accounted for the sale of the notes as a financing of receivables.  Through the first nine months of 2004, $1.5 million of these notes have been collected by the third party financing companies.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary cash requirements include working capital, interest on indebtedness, capital expenditures, and dividends.  The primary sources of cash for each of these are cash flows from continuing operations and borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility. We had $122.6 million in cash and short term investments along with $281.1 million of unused availability under the terms of the secured revolving credit facility at September 30, 2005.  The secured revolving credit facility provides us with the option to increase the line to $550 million under the same terms at a later date.

 

Our outstanding debt at September 30, 2005 consisted primarily of our senior notes due 2013, and our senior subordinated notes due 2011 and 2012.

 

29



 

In June 2005, we entered into a five year, $300 million, secured revolving credit facility, which replaced our previous $125 million revolving credit facility that was due to expire in May 2006.  Borrowings under the new secured revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, which is based on the company’s consolidated total leverage ratio as defined by the credit agreement.  The annual commitment fee in effect at September 30, 2005 on the unused portion of the secured revolving credit facility was 0.25%.  As of September 30, 2005, there was no amount outstanding under the secured revolving credit facility.

 

We had outstanding at September 30, 2005, $150.0 million of 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (Senior Notes due 2013). The Senior Notes due 2013 are unsecured senior obligations ranking prior to our 175 million Euro of 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011) ($210.3 million based on September 30, 2005 exchange rates) and our $113.8 million of 10 ½% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012).  Our secured revolving credit facility ranks equally with the Senior Notes due 2013, except that it is secured by substantially all domestic tangible and intangible assets of the company and its subsidiaries.  Interest on the Senior Notes due 2013 is payable semiannually in May and November each year, commencing May 1, 2004.  The Senior Notes due 2013 can be redeemed by us in whole or in part for a premium on or after November 1, 2008.  In addition, we may redeem for a premium at any time prior to November 1, 2006, up to 35% of the face amount of the Senior Notes due 2013 with the proceeds of one or more equity offerings.

 

We had outstanding at September 30, 2005, 175 million Euro ($210.3million based on September 30, 2005 exchange rates) of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011. The Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 are unsecured obligations ranking subordinate in right of payment to all of our Senior debt, are equal in rank to our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, and are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 is payable semiannually in May and November each year. These notes can be redeemed by us in whole or in part for a premium after May 15, 2006.

 

We also had outstanding at September 30, 2005, $113.8 million of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012. The Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 are unsecured obligations of the company ranking subordinate in right of payment to all of our Senior debt, are equal in rank to our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and are fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of the company’s domestic subsidiaries.  Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 is payable semiannually in February and August each year.  These notes can be redeemed by us in whole or in part for a premium on or after August 1, 2007.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2004, the company issued approximately 3.0 million shares of its common stock at an offering price of $36.25.  A portion of the net proceeds received from this offering was used to redeem 35% of the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012.  The redemption was completed on January 10, 2005.

 

Our secured revolving credit facility, Senior Notes due 2013, and Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and 2012 contain customary affirmative and negative covenants.  In general, the covenants contained in the secured revolving credit facility are more restrictive than those of the Senior Notes due 2013 and the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 and 2012.  Among other restrictions, these covenants require us to meet specified financial tests, which include the following: consolidated interest coverage ratio; consolidated total leverage ratio; and consolidated senior leverage ratio.  These covenants also limit, among other things, our ability to redeem or repurchase our debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, repurchase capital stock, and create or become subject to liens.  The secured revolving credit facility also contains cross-default provisions whereby certain defaults under any other debt agreements would result in default under the secured revolving credit facility.  We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2005, and based upon our current plans and outlook, we believe we will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent 12 months.

 

Recent Accounting Changes and Pronouncements

 

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 seeks to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) in the determination of inventory carrying costs. The statement requires such costs to be treated as a current period expense. This statement is effective for the company on January 1, 2006.  We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

During December 2004, the FASB revised SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123-Revised supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and will

 

30



 

require all companies to estimate the fair value of incentive stock options granted and then amortize that estimated fair value to expense over the options’ vesting period. SFAS No. 123-Revised is effective for all annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The company currently accounts for its stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations. No employee or outside director compensation costs related to stock option grants are currently reflected in net earnings. The company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123-Revised on January 1, 2006. See Note 4, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for pro forma information if the company had elected to adopt the requirements of the previously issued SFAS No. 123.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 is effective for the company on July 1, 2005. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective applications to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. In addition, this statement requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. This new accounting standard is effective January 1, 2006.  We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our critical accounting policies have not significantly changed since the 2004 Form 10-K was filed.

 

Cautionary Statements About Forward-Looking Information

 

Statements in this report and in other company communications that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, which are based upon our current expectations.  These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what appears within this Form 10-Q.

 

Forward-looking statements include descriptions of plans and objectives for future operations, and the assumptions behind those plans.  The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” and “expects,” or similar expressions, usually identifies forward-looking statements.  Any and all projections of future performance are forward-looking statements.

 

In addition to the assumptions, uncertainties, and other information referred to specifically in the forward-looking statements, a number of factors relating to each business segment could cause actual results to be significantly different from what is presented in this Form 10-Q.  Those factors include, without limitation, the following:

 

Crane—market acceptance of new and innovative products; cyclicality of the construction industry; the effects of government spending on construction-related projects throughout the world; changes in world demand for our crane product offering; the replacement cycle of technologically obsolete cranes; demand for used equipment; actions of competitors; and foreign exchange rate risk.
