Discontinued Operations

ASV Segment

Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company owned a 51% interest in A.S.V., LLC (“ASV”).  ASV is located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota and manufactures a line of high quality compact track and skid steer loaders.  On May 11, 2017, in anticipation of an initial public offering, ASV converted from an LLC to a C-Corporation and the Company’s 51% interest in ASV was converted to 4,080,000 common shares of ASV Holdings, Inc. (“ASV Holdings”).  On May 17, 2017, in connection within its initial public offering, ASV Holdings sold 1,800,000 shares and the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of ASV Holdings common stock.  The Company continues to own 2,080,000 common shares of ASV Holdings or approximately a 21.2% interest in ASV Holdings. As a result of this sale, the Company no longer has a controlling interest in ASV Holdings. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company deconsolidated ASV Holdings from its financial reporting and began recording its remaining interest as an equity investment.  Prior period financial statements have been restated to reflect ASV Holdings as a discontinued operation.

Change in Reporting Segments

Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported it operations in three segments: the Lifting Equipment segment, the ASV segment and the Equipment Distribution segment.  Since 2015, the Company has sought to redefine itself strategically and operationally, including through a series of divestitures.  The last divestiture occurred in May 2017, with the sale of a portion of the Company’s investment in ASV Holdings.   As a result of this sale, the Company has deconsolidated ASV Holdings from its financial reporting, and ASV Holdings is no longer a reporting segment.  

The previously reported Equipment Distribution segment was comprised of C&M and C&M Leasing.  C&M was acquired by the Company in 2008 and at that time operated primarily as a distributor of Terex Corporation (“Terex”) rough terrain and truck cranes.   Subsequent to 2008, C&M added a used equipment business, which involved buying both lifting and non-lifting construction equipment and then refurbishing and remarketing that equipment.  Recently, the C&M operations evolved and the used equipment sales operations were discontinued.  

C&M remains a distributor of Terex rough terrain and truck cranes; however C&M’s primary business is the distribution of products manufactured by the Company.  C&M Leasing’s primary business is the facilitation of sales of products manufactured by the Company through its rent to own program.  As C&M and C&M Leasing’s primary business is the facilitation of Company manufactured product sales, discrete financial information is not available.  Further, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews C&M and C&M Leasing operations only to determine their impact on the entire Company. As such, the operations of C&M and C&M Leasing no longer constitute a separate reporting segment.  

 

 

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, included herein, have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals, except as otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. The consolidated balances as of December 31, 2016 were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards for interim financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016. For further information, refer to the consolidated audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts the Company’s customers are invoiced and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts related to trade receivables includes evaluation of specific accounts where the Company has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. The Company had allowances for doubtful accounts of $63 and $7 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

 

Inventory Valuation

Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or net realizable value.  The Company records excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The estimated reserve is based upon specific identification of excess or obsolete inventories. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred and are not capitalized as a component of inventory.

Accrued Warranties

Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s products are typically sold with a warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period of time. The specific warranty offered is a function of customer expectations and competitive forces. A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. Historical warranty experience is, however, reviewed by management. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the

7


initial warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. Warranty reserves are reviewed to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may impact the potential warranty liability.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue and related costs are recognized when title passes and risk of loss passes to our customers which generally occurs upon shipment depending upon the terms of the contract.  Under certain contracts with our customers title passes to the customers when the units are completed. The units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer, the customer is notified that the units are complete and awaiting pick up or delivery as specified by the customer before income is recognized. Additionally, the customer is requested to sign an “Invoice Authorization Form” which acknowledges the contract terms and acknowledges that the customer has economic ownership and control over the unit. It also acknowledges that we are going to invoice the unit per terms of the contract. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.

For FOB contracts, customers may be invoiced prior to the time customers take physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed, tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the customer has authorized in writing that we hold the units for pickup or delivery at a time specified by the customer. In such cases, the units are invoiced under our customary billing terms, title to the units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer and we have no further obligations under the order. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain.

In addition, our policy requires in all instances certain minimum criteria be met in order to recognize revenue, specifically:

a)

Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;

b)

The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;

c)

Collectability is reasonably assured; and

d)

We have no significant obligations for future performance.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts—The Company enters into derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk related to certain foreign term loans. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in current earnings immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which case the effective portion of the gain or loss is recognized and is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedging instrument affects earnings.  The PM Group is the only entity within the Company that currently has any interest rate swap contracts.   These contracts have been determined not to be hedge instruments under ASC 815-10.

 

Litigation Claims

In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the Company must assess the allegations and the likelihood that it will successfully defend itself. When the Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular matter, it will then make an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on the advice of legal counsel.

Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. The effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

Comprehensive Income

Reporting “Comprehensive Income” requires reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income includes, in addition to net earnings, other items that are reported as direct adjustments to stockholder’s equity. Currently, the only comprehensive income adjustment is the foreign currency translation adjustment, the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiaries.

8


Business Combinations

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; (2) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (3) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (4) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.

ASC 805 requires that any excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805, any excess of fair value of acquired net assets, including identifiable intangibles assets, over the acquisition consideration results in a bargain purchase gain. Prior to recording a gain, the acquiring entity must reassess whether all acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and recognized and perform re-measurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been properly valued.

Equity Investment in ASV Holdings, Inc.

The Company is accounting for its 21.2% investment in ASV Holdings by equity method of accounting under which the Company’s share of the net income (loss) of the ASV Holdings is recognized as income (loss) in the Company’s statement of operations and added to investment account, and dividends received from ASV Holdings will be treated as a reduction of the investment account.  

ASV Holdings’ earnings are recorded on a one quarter lag as ASV Holdings is now a public company and may not report earnings in time to be included in the Company’s financial statements.  As such, the investment in ASV Holdings has not been adjusted for earnings subsequent to the sale of portion of the Company’s investment in ASV Holdings, which occurred on May 17, 2017.

The Company owns 2,080,000 Common Shares of ASV Holdings, which had a market value on June 30, 2017 of $16,952 based on a closing price of $8.15.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820-10 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1

 

 

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

 

 

 

 

Level 2

 

 

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

 

 

 

 

Level 3

 

 

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

Fair value of the forward currency contracts are determined on the last day of each reporting period using observable inputs, which are supplied to the Company by the foreign currency trading operation of its bank and are Level 2 items.

 

 

4. Derivatives Financial Instruments

The Company’s risk management objective is to use the most efficient and effective methods available to us to minimize, eliminate, reduce or transfer the risks which are associated with fluctuation of exchange rates between the Euro, Chilean Peso and the U.S. dollar.

Forward Currency Contracts

When the Company receives a significant order in a currency other than the operating unit’s functional currency, management may evaluate different options that are available to mitigate future currency exchange risks. The decision to hedge future sales is not automatic and is decided case by case. The Company only uses hedge instruments to hedge firm existing sales orders and not estimated exposure, when management determines that exchange risks exceed desired risk tolerance levels. The forward currency contracts used to hedge future sales are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815-10 provided certain criteria are met.   For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (date of sale). Gains or losses on cash flow hedges when recognized into income are included in net revenues. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The Company expects minimal ineffectiveness as the Company has hedged only firm sales orders and has not hedged estimated exposures.  As of June 30, 2017 the Company had no outstanding forward currency contracts that were in place to hedge future sales. Therefore, there are currently no unrealized pre-tax gains or losses which will reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months.  

10


At times, the Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts in relationship such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the reporting units’ functional currency would be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. The forward currency exchange contracts that the Company has to offset existing assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the reporting units’ functional currency have been determined not to be considered a hedge under ASC 815-10. The Company records at the balance sheet date the forward currency exchange contracts at its market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to forward currency contracts are included in current earnings and are reflected in the Statement of Income in the other income (expense) section on the line titled foreign currency transaction gains (losses). Items denominated in a currency other than a reporting unit functional currency include certain intercompany receivables due from the Company’s Italian subsidiaries and accounts receivable and accounts payable of our Italian subsidiaries and their subsidiaries

PM Group has an intercompany receivable denominated in Euros from its Chilean subsidiary.  At June 30, 2017, the Company had entered into a forward currency exchange contract that matures on August 2, 2017.  Under the contract the Company is obligated to sell 1,500,000 Chilean pesos for 2,084 euros. The purpose of the forward contract is to mitigate the income effect related to this intercompany receivable that results with a change in exchange rate between the Euro and the Chilean peso.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

A contract was signed by PM Group, for an original notional amount of € 482 (€ 516 at June 30, 2017), maturing on October 1, 2020 with interest paid monthly.   PM pays interest at a rate of 3.90% and receives from the counterparties interest at the “Euribor” rate for the period in question if greater than 0.90%.    

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had the following forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps:

The counterparty to each of the currency exchange forward contracts is a major financial institution with credit ratings of investment grade or better and no collateral is required. Management continues to monitor counterparty risk and believes the risk of incurring losses on derivative contracts related to credit risk is unlikely.

2004 Equity Incentive Plan

In 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and subsequently amended and restated the plan on September 13, 2007, May 28, 2009, June 5, 2013 and June 2, 2016. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 1,329,364 shares. The total number of shares reserved for issuance however, can be adjusted to reflect certain corporate transactions or changes in the Company’s capital structure. The Company’s employees and members of the board of directors who are not our employees or employees of our affiliates are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan is administered by a committee of the board comprised of members who are outside directors. The plan provides that the committee has the authority to, among other things, select plan participants, determine the type and amount of awards, determine award terms, fix all other conditions of any awards, interpret the plan and any plan awards. Under the plan, the committee can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units, except Directors may not be granted stock appreciation rights, performance shares and performance units. During any calendar year, participants are limited in the number of grants they may receive under the plan. In any year, an individual may not receive options for more than 15,000 shares, stock appreciation rights with respect to more than 20,000 shares, more than 20,000 shares of restricted stock and/or an award for more than 10,000 performance shares or restricted stock units or performance units. The plan requires that the exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights be not less than fair market value of the Company’s common stock on date of grant.

Restricted stock units are subject to the same conditions as the restricted stock awards except the restricted stock units will not have voting rights and the common stock will not be issued until the vesting criteria are satisfied.

At the Market Program

On January 23, 2017, Manitex International Inc. entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock, no par value per share, having an aggregate offering price up to $20,000 through Cantor.  The Company thought it prudent to put a mechanism in place by which supplemental liquidity can be provided to address working capital requirements or other capital requirements that may arise in conjunction with production requirements.  Under the program, the Company’s stock is issued at the current market price and the Company pays a 7% commission to Cantor.

7. New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, deferral of the effective date, which amends ASU 2014-09.  As a result, the effective date is the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value and options that currently exist for market value be eliminated. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively.  The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results when adopted.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when

15


measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”) requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-05”). ASU 2016-05 provides guidance clarifying that novation of a derivative contract (i.e. a change in counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require designation of that hedge accounting relationship. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-06 simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options by clarifying that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” (“ASU 2016-08”). ASU 2016-08 further clarifies principal and agent relationships within ASU 2014-09. Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is intended to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment awards. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted the guidance for the year ended December 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” (“ASU 2016-10”).  The amendments in ASU 2016-10 are expected to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance on identifying promised goods or services in contracts with customers and to improve the operability and understandability of licensing implementation guidance related to the entity's intellectual property.  Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.  The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” (“ASU 2016-15”).  ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting by clarifying existing principles in ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and provides specific guidance on certain cash flow classification issues.  The effective date for ASU 2016-15 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted.  The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory,” (“ASU 2016-16”).  ASU 2016-16 requires recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of any asset (excluding inventory) when the transfer occurs. This is a change from existing GAAP which prohibits recognition of current and deferred income taxes until the asset is sold to a third party.  The effective date for ASU 2016-16 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides guidance in ascertaining whether a collection of assets and activities is considered a

16


business. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted in 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. Historical warranty experience is, however, reviewed by management. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the initial warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. Warranty reserves are reviewed to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may impact the potential warranty liability.

12. Credit Facilities and Debt

 

U.S.  Credit Facilities

At June 30, 2017, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries have a Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, (the “Loan Agreement”) with The Private Bank and Trust Company (“Private Bank”).  The Loan Agreement provides a revolving credit facility with a maturity date of July 20, 2019.   The aggregate amount of the facility is $25,000.

 

The maximum borrowing available to the Company under the Loan Agreement is limited to: (1) 85% of eligible receivables; plus (2) 50% of eligible inventory valued at the lower of cost or market subject to a $17,500 limit; plus (3) 80% of eligible used equipment, as defined, valued at the lower of cost or market subject to a $2,000 limit.  At June 30, 2017, the maximum the Company could borrow based on available collateral was capped at $25,000.  At June 30, 2017, the Company had borrowed $13,235 under this facility. Effective June 1, 2017, the Company’s collateral is subject to a $5,000 reserve until the Fixed Charge Coverage ratio exceeds 1.10 to 1.00.  The indebtedness under the Loan Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for the certain assets of the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

The Loan Agreement provides that the Company can opt to pay interest on the revolving credit at either a base rate plus a spread, or a LIBOR rate plus a spread.  The base rate spread ranges from 0.25% to 1.00% depending on the Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement).  The LIBOR spread ranges from 2.25% to 3.00% also depending on the Senior Leverage Ratio.  At June 30, 2017, the base rate and LIBOR spreads were 1.00% and 3.00%, respectively.  Funds borrowed under the LIBOR option can be borrowed for periods of one, two, or three months and are limited to four LIBOR contracts outstanding at any time.

18


 

The underlying reference rate for our base rated borrowings at June 30, 2017 was 4.25%.  At June 30, 2017, the Company had two outstanding advances with interest tied to LIBOR.  The contracts had an underlying LIBOR rate of 1.0756%.  In addition, Private Bank assesses a 0.50% unused line fee that is payable monthly.

 

The Loan Agreement subjects the Company and its domestic subsidiaries to a quarterly EBITDA covenant (as defined).  The quarterly EBITDA covenant (as defined) are $(1,000) for the quarter ended at March 31, 2017, $0 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and $2,000 for all quarters starting with  the quarter ended September 30, 2017 through the end of the agreement. Additionally, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries are subject to a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.05 to 1.00 measured on an annual basis beginning December 31, 2017, followed by a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.15 to 1.00 measured quarterly starting March 31, 2018 (based on a trailing twelve month basis) through the term of the agreement.  The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, make investments, make acquisitions, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size.  

 

The Loan Agreement has a Letter of Credit facility of $3,000, which is fully reserved against availability.

 

Note Payable—Bank

At June 30, 2017, the Company has a $183 term note payable to a bank. The Company is required to make eleven monthly payments of $37 that began on January 30, 2017. The note dated January 18, 2017 had an original principal amount of $400 and an annual interest rate of 2.75%. Proceeds from the note were used to pay annual premiums for certain insurance policies carried by the Company. The holder of the note has a security interest in the insurance policies it financed and has the right upon default to cancel these policies and receive any unearned premiums.

13. Convertible Notes

Related Party

On December 19, 2014, the Company issued a subordinated convertible debenture with a $7,500 face amount payable to Terex, a related party. The convertible debenture, is subordinated, carries a 5% per annum coupon, and is convertible into Company common stock at a conversion price of $13.65 per share or a total of 549,451 shares, subject to customary adjustment provisions. The debenture has a December 19, 2020 maturity date.

From and after the third anniversary of the original issuance date, the Company may redeem the convertible debenture in full (but not in part) at any time that the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock equals at least 130% of the Conversion Price (as defined in the debenture) for at least 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days. Following an election by the holder to convert the debenture into common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the debenture, the Company has the discretion to deliver to the holder either (i) shares of common stock, (ii) a cash payment, or (iii) a combination of cash and stock.

In accounting for the issuance of the note, the Company separated the note into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Note as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

On December 19, 2014, the components of the note were as follows:

 

Liability component

 

$

6,607

 

Equity component (a component of paid in capital)

 

 

893

 

 

 

$

7,500

 

 

Additionally in connection with the transaction a $321 deferred tax liability was established and was recorded as a deduction to paid in capital. The deferred tax liability was recognized as the excess of the principal amount being amortized and charged to interest expenses that is not tax deductible.

As of June 30, 2017, the note had a remaining principal balance of $6,932 and an unamortized discount of $568. The difference between current unamortized discount and the $893 initially recorded represents $325 of amortization of excess discount.

Perella Notes

On January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Perella Note Purchase Agreement”) with MI Convert Holdings LLC (which is owned by investment funds constituting part of the Perella Weinberg Partners Asset Based Value Strategy) and Invemed Associates LLC (together, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue $15,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due January 7, 2021 (the “Perella Notes”) to the Investors. The Notes are subordinated, carry a 6.50% per annum coupon, and are convertible, at the holder’s option, into shares of Company common stock, based on an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share, subject to customary adjustments. Following an election by the holder to convert the debenture into common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the debenture, the Company has the discretion to deliver to the holder either (i) shares of common stock, (ii) a cash payment, or (iii) a combination of cash and stock.  Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental corporate changes, the Perella Notes are redeemable at the option of the holders of the Perella Notes. The Perella Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to the maturity date, and the payment of principal is subject to acceleration upon an

21


event of default. The issuance of the Perella Notes by the Company was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 506 and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

In connection with the issuance of the Perella Notes, on January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Perella Notes. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective on February 23, 2015.

In accounting for the issuance of the note, the Company separated the note into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Note as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

On January 7, 2015, the components of the note were as follows:

 

Liability component

 

$

14,286

 

Equity component (a component of paid in capital)

 

 

714

 

 

 

$

15,000

 

 

Additionally in connection with the transaction a $257 deferred tax liability was established and was recorded as a deduction to paid in capital. The deferred tax liability was recognized as the excess of the principal amount being amortized and charged to interest expenses is not tax deductible.

As of June 30, 2017, the note had a remaining principal balance of $14,546 and an unamortized discount of $454. The difference between current unamortized discount and the $714 initially recorded represents $260 of amortization of excess discount. Debt issuance costs offset against this note totaled $343 at June 30, 2017.

 

 

14. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies

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

The Company has been named as a defendant in several multi-defendant asbestos related product liability lawsuits. In certain instances, the Company is indemnified by a former owner of the product line in question. In the remaining cases the plaintiff has, to date, not been able to establish any exposure by the plaintiff to the Company’s products. The Company is uninsured with respect to these claims but believes that it will not incur any material liability with respect to these claims.

When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and possible to make a reasonable estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur. The Company established reserves for several PM lawsuits in conjunction with the accounting for this acquisition.

Additionally, beginning on December 31, 2011, the Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policy has per claim deductible of $250 and aggregates of $1,000, $1,150, $1,325, $1,875 $1,575 and $1,575 for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 policy years, respectively. The Company is fully insured for any amount on any individual claim that exceeds the deductible and for any additional amounts of all claims once the aggregate is reached. The Company currently has several workmen compensation claims related to injuries that occurred after December 31, 2011 and therefore are subject to a deductible. The Company does not believe that the contingencies associated with these worker compensation claims in aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company

On May 5, 2011, Company entered into two separate settlement agreements with two plaintiffs. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs an aggregate of $1,330 without interest in 14 annual installments of $95 on or before May 22 of each year. On, February 3, 2016, the Company entered into another legal settlement with a single plaintiff for €640 ($730). The liability had been fully accrued and resulted in no gain or loss. The Company has paid €560 ($639). As of June

22


30, 2017 the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreement to pay the plaintiff €80 ($91) without interest in monthly installments of €20 ($23). The Company has recorded a liability for the net present value of the liability. The difference between the net present value and the total payment will be charged to interest expense over payment period.

It is reasonably possible that the “Estimated Reserve for Product Liability Claims” may change within the next 12 months. A change in estimate could occur if a case is settled for more or less than anticipated, or if additional information becomes known to the Company.

15. Transactions between the Company and Related Parties

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

On December 16, 2014, Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”), BGI USA Inc. (“BGI”), Movedesign SRL and R & S Advisory S.r.l., entered into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) for Lift Ventures LLC (“Lift Ventures”), a joint venture entity. The purposes for which Lift Ventures is organized are the manufacturing and selling of certain products and components, including the Schaeff line of electric forklifts and certain LiftKing products. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Company was granted a 25% equity stake in the Lift Ventures in exchange for the contribution of certain inventory and a license of certain intellectual property related to the Company’s products.  

As a result of the sale, in the third quarter 2016, of the Company's Liftking subsidiary, Lift Ventures LLC will no longer have the right to sell Schaeff and Liftking products in the future.  Additionally, as a result of certain financial difficulties experienced by the partner, who was to contribute design services, it will not be able to provide such services.  As a result of these events, the Company had determined that its investment in the Lift Ventures has become impaired and wrote off its entire investment in Lift Ventures LLC in third quarter of 2016.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, purchases and sells parts to BGI USA, Inc. (“BGI”) including its subsidiary SL Industries, Ltd (“SL”). BGI is a distributor of assembly parts used to manufacture various lifting equipment. SL Industries, Ltd is a Bulgarian subsidiary of BGI that manufactures fabricated and welded components used to manufacture various lifting equipment. The Company’s former President of Manufacturing Operations is the majority owner of BGI.

The Company through its former Manitex Liftking subsidiary provided parts and services to LiftMaster, Ltd (“LiftMaster”) or purchased parts or services from LiftMaster. LiftMaster is a rental company that rents and services rough terrain forklifts. LiftMaster is owned by an individual who was a Vice President of Manitex Liftking ULC during the period that the Company owned this subsidiary and a relative of his.

As of June 30, 2017 the Company had an accounts receivable of $13 and $28 from BGI and SL, respectively, and accounts payable of   $1,547, $130 and $126 to BGI, SL and Terex, respectively.  As of December 31, 2016 the Company had an accounts receivable of $47 and $22 from SL and Lift Ventures, respectively and accounts payable of $471, $749, $7 and $940 to SL, Lift Ventures, BGI and Terex, respectively.

On March 4, 2016, CVS and Terex Operations Italy S.R.L. (“TOI”) entered into an agreement whereby TOI acquired certain inventories and intellectual property related to CVS’ terminal tractor line.  The transaction totaled €2,839 ($3,119) inclusive of VAT taxes and resulted in a gain of €1,987 ($2,212).  This gain was included in other income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations when the March 31, 2016 10-Q was filed.  It has subsequently been reclassed to discontinued operations.

 

 

 

16. Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax (benefit) of $(23), which included a discrete income tax provision of $21. The calculation of the overall income tax benefit primarily consists of anticipated federal, state and local, and

24


foreign taxes.  For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax (benefit) of $(2,051) which consisted primarily of anticipated federal, state and local, and foreign taxes.

 

The Company recorded an income tax expense (benefit) of $86 and $(109) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The calculation of the overall income tax provision primarily consists of a foreign tax benefit and an income tax provision resulting from state and local taxes, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 1.7% compared to 44.6% in the comparable prior period.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, state and local taxes, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments for changes in estimate as necessary. The 2017 estimated annual effective tax rate inclusive of a valuation allowance is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.

 

The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $983 and $936 which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits is a liability for the PM Group’s potential IRES and IRAP audit adjustments for the tax years 2009 – 2013. In July 2017, the Company received notification from the Internal Revenue Service that its tax return for the year ended December 31, 2015 has been selected for examination. While it is often difficult to predict the outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, the Company believes its liability at June 30, 2017 for unrecognized tax benefits is adequate. Favorable resolution of an unrecognized tax benefit could be recognized as a reduction in tax provision and effective tax rate in the period of resolution. Unfavorable settlement of an unrecognized tax benefit could increase the tax provision and effective tax rate and may require the use of cash in the period of resolution.

 

 

17. Discontinued Operations

 

The Company completed the sale of Liftking, CVS and a partial interest in ASV Holdings on September 30, 2016, December 22, 2016 and May 17, 2017, respectively.

 

 

Sale of Partial Interest in ASV Holdings

 

On May 17, 2017, the Company and ASV Holdings completed the previously announced underwritten initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 3,800,000 shares of ASV Holding’s common stock, including 2,000,000 shares sold by the Company. The Company received proceeds net of commissions of $13,020 from the Offering.  Additionally, the Company had legal and other expense associated with transaction of $128.  In conjunction with the sale, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $1,133 and recognized a $23 tax benefit.

Prior to the Offering, the Company owned 51.0% of the outstanding shares of ASV Holdings’ common stock. As a result of the Offering, as of May 17, 2017, the Company owns 21.2% of the outstanding shares of ASV Holdings’ common stock. Because the Company’s ownership interest has decreased below 50%, it no longer has a controlling financial interest in ASV Holdings and deconsolidated ASV Holdings from the financial statements and results of operations of the Company, effective May 17, 2017, in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC, 810-10-40, Derecognition.

Economic Conditions

In 2014, the Company saw a decline in orders for cranes with higher lifting capacities largely a result of the fall in oil prices which decreased demand from the energy sector.  In 2015, the Company aggressively pursued other markets for its boom trucks including the tree industry, utility industry, and the general construction markets.  This focus offset and mitigated the impact of the energy market decline. While oil prices continued to decline and the U.S. oil rig count dropped from 1,600 in January 2015 to just over 500 at end of 2015, we noted that the energy companies began selling excess equipment into our other markets.

In 2016, we noted that this selloff of excess equipment continued and even accelerated through much of the year. Until late 2016, this selloff dampened demand for new equipment in both the energy market and the other markets we serve with our boom trucks.  We did note that oil prices did begin to increase and by the beginning of June were approaching $50 per barrel.  Additionally, the oil rig count began to increase again and by year end totaled 525 oil rigs. Late in the year, orders received began to increase and included orders for a number of cranes to be deployed in a multitude of markets that the Company serves.  The positive order trend has continued in 2017.  The Company continues to aggressively pursue multiple markets including the tree, utility, general construction and, energy markets.

The market for PM knuckle boom cranes has not been significantly affected by decrease in oil prices.  The market for these products has been more stable.  The North American market for knuckle boom cranes is growing. PM currently has a small share of the market for knuckle boom cranes in North America. The Company has started to manufacture knuckle boom cranes on a limited basis in the United States and is marketing them through the Company’s current distribution channels. The Company currently has a strong presence in North America for its boom trucks. The Company believes that it can significantly increase the Company’s share for knuckle boom cranes in North American. The Company believes this is an immediate opportunity that will continue to grow over time.

At the end of the quarter, the Company backlog was $47.6 million, including orders from PM that now comprise 22% of the total backlog at June 30, 2017.

Factors Affecting Revenues and Gross Profit

The Company derives most of its revenue from purchase orders from dealers and distributors. The demand for the Company’s products depends upon the general economic conditions of the markets in which the Company competes. The Company’s sales depend in part upon its customers’ replacement or repair cycles. Adverse economic conditions, including a decrease in commodity prices, may cause customers to forego or postpone new purchases in favor of repairing existing machinery.

Gross profit varies from period to period. Factors that affect gross profit include product mix, production levels and cost of raw materials. Margins tend to increase when production is skewed towards larger capacity cranes.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Net loss from continuing operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016  

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $1.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the net loss from continuing operations of $1.4 million consisted of revenue of $51.6 million, cost of sales of $42.2 million, research and development costs of $0.6 million, SG&A expenses of $8.7 million, interest expense of $1.3 million, and a foreign currency loss of $0.3 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the net loss from continuing operations of $2.5 million consisted of revenue of $48.7 million, cost of sales of $39.9 million, research and development costs of $0.7 million, SG&A expenses of $9.5 million, interest expense of $3.2 million, foreign currency transaction loss of $0.4 million, other income $0.6 and income tax benefit of $2.1 million.

Net revenues and gross profit —For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net revenues and gross profit were $51.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 18.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, net revenues and gross profit were $48.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 18.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Net revenues increased $2.9 million or 6.0% to $51.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $48.7 million for the comparable period in 2016. The increase in revenue was primarily due to Manitex straight mast cranes.  The increase is due to an improvement in market conditions addressed above under the heading “Economic Conditions”.

29


Our gross profit increased $0.7 million to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $8.7 million for the comparable period in 2016. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to an increase in revenues, as disclosed above. An improvement of 0.3% in gross profit as a percent of revenues also contributed to the increase in gross profit. The improvement in the gross profit percent is primarily due to increased margins for straight mast cranes partially offset by decreases in our other product lines.  Boom truck margins were favorably impacted by an increase in production volume.        

Research and development —Research and development was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2016.  Research and development expenditures were relatively consistent with the prior period. The Company’s research and development spending continues to reflect our continued commitment to develop and introduce new products that give the Company a competitive advantage.

Selling, general and administrative expense —Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $8.7 million compared to $9.5 million for the comparable period in 2016, a decrease of $0.8 million. The decreases are primarily related to the Company’s continued cost cutting programs.  

Operating income (loss) —For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company had operating income of $0.2 million compared with operating loss of $1.5 million, respectively. Operating income increased due to changes in revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses explained above.

Interest expense —Interest expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3.2 million for the comparable period in 2016, a decrease of $1.9 million.  A non-recurring expense in 2016 of $1.4 million accounts for the majority of the decrease.  The non-recurring charge was the result of expensing deferred financing costs when debt was refinanced.

The remaining decrease of $0.5 million is attributable to a decrease in outstanding borrowing.  A lower interest rate on refinanced debt also contributed to the decrease in interest expense.  As the majority of the Company’s debt is variable interest rate debt, the modest increases in market interest rates including LIBOR and the U.S. prime rates partially offset other interest decreases.

Foreign currency transaction losses —For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had foreign currency losses of $0.3 million compared to $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2016.  As previously stated, the Company attempts to purchase forward currency exchange contracts such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the reporting units’ functional currency will be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. A substantial portion of the loses relate to changes in the Argentinian peso.  The Company has not been able to identify a strategy to effectively hedge the currency risks related to the Argentinian peso.  

Other (expense) income— For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had other expense of $0.01 million compared to other income of $0.6 million for the comparable period.  The Company had other income in 2016 as the fair market value of a contingent liability associated with the PM acquisition was reduced based on revaluation that used updated information.

         

Income tax —  For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company recorded an income tax (benefit) of $(0.02) and $(2.1) million, respectively. The calculation of the overall income tax benefit primarily consists of anticipated federal, state and local, and foreign taxes.

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 1.7% compared to 44.6% in the comparable prior period.  The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, state and local taxes, and an income tax provision resulting from the increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangibles.

 

Each quarter the Company updates its annual estimated effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments for changes in estimate as necessary. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against the portion of its U.S. deferred tax asset and projected 2016 loss that cannot be realized by carrying back for a refund of taxes paid in prior years. In arriving at the year to date tax benefit as of June 30, 2016, the tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2016 includes the cumulative adjustment for the change in estimate. In addition, the income tax benefit for continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was further increased as $0.9 million of income tax expense that was allocated to discontinued operations, which had the effect of increasing the tax benefit recorded in continuing operations.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, a tax benefit for projected current year U.S. losses could not be recognized as the Company does not have sufficient taxable income within the carry back period provided for under enacted U.S. tax law.     

             

 

30


Net loss from continuing operations —For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company had a net loss of $1.4 million compared to $2.5 million, respectively. The change is explained above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Net loss from continuing operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company had net losses of $4.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 the net loss of $4.9 million consisted of revenue of $ 91.4 million, cost of sales of $74.5 million, research and development costs of $1.3 million, SG&A expenses of $18.1 million, interest expense of $2.3 million, foreign currency transaction loss of $0.3 million, other income of $0.3 million and income tax benefit of $0.1 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the net loss of $5.4 million consisted of revenue of $105.6 million, cost of sales of $86.1 million, research and development costs of $1.5 million, SG&A expenses of $18.5 million, interest expense of $4.7 million, foreign currency transaction loss of $0.9 million, other income of $0.6, loss of $0.1 million in a non-marketable equity investment and income tax benefit of $0.1 million.

Net revenues and gross profit —For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net revenues and gross profit were $91.4 million and $16.9 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 18.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net revenues and gross profit were $105.6 million and $19.5 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 18.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Net revenues decreased $14.2 million or 13.4% to $91.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $105.6 million for the comparable period in 2016.  The decrease is entirely attributed to a decrease in revenues during the first quarter as second quarter revenues were up by $2.9 million.

The decrease in first quarter revenues was the result of not being able to increase productions levels fast enough to react to an increase in orders received.  In December 2016, orders began increasing for almost all product lines, but were exceptionally pronounced for the Manitex straight mast cranes.  These orders significantly increased backlog, but due to the timing of the orders, production was not able to convert these orders into revenues during the first quarter due in part to the availability of chassis needed to mount the cranes.

Our gross profit percent remained the same at  18.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2017  and June 30, 2016, respectively. 

Research and development —Research and development was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2016.  Research and development expenditures were relatively consistent with the prior period. The Company’s research and development spending continues to reflect our continued commitment to develop and introduce new products that give the Company a competitive advantage.

Selling, general and administrative expense —Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $18.1 million compared to $18.5 million for the comparable period in 2016, a decrease of $0.4 million.  The decrease for the six months is net of an increase of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared March 31, 2016.  There was an increase in expenses for the three months ended March, as the three months ended March 31, 2017 includes expenses of $1.2 million incurred in connection with our participation at the 2017 Con Expo trade show. The Con Expo show, which is held every three years, was held in Las Vegas in March of this year. This show is an international gathering place for the construction industries. It is estimated that 130,000 professionals from around the world attended the show.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million when ConExpo expenses are excluded. The decrease is primarily related to the Company’s continued cost cutting programs.  

Operating loss —For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company had operating loss of $2.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Operating loss increased due to changes in revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses explained above.

Interest expense —Interest expense was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 4.7 million for the comparable period in 2016, a decrease of $2.4. A non-recurring expense in 2016 of $1.4 million accounts for the majority of the decrease.  The non-recurring charge was the result of expensing deferred financing costs when debt was refinanced.

31


The remaining decrease of $1.0 million is attributable to a decrease in outstanding borrowing.  A lower interest rate on refinanced debt also contributed to the decrease in interest expense.  As the majority of the Company’s debt is variable interest rate debt, the modest increases in market interest rates including LIBOR and the U.S. prime rates partially offset other interest decreases.   

Foreign currency transaction losses —For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had a foreign currency loss of $0.3 million compared to $0.9 million loss for the comparable period in 2016.  As previously stated, the Company attempts to purchase forward currency exchange contracts such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the reporting units’ functional currency will be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds.

The loss for 2016 period includes the recognition of deferred loss of $0.2 million related to an intercompany receivable.  The loss had been previously deferred in other comprehensive income as there was an intercompany receivable that was not expected to be repaid.  The repayment of the receivable resulted in the recognition of the previously deferred loss.  The remaining losses for 2016 and the losses for 2017 are largely the result of changes in the Argentinian peso.  The Company has not been able to identify a strategy to effectively hedge the currency risks related to the Argentinian peso.            

Income tax —For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company recorded an income tax expense (benefit) of $0.1 million and ($0.1) million, respectively. The calculation of the overall income tax provision primarily consists of a foreign tax benefit and an income tax provision resulting from state and local taxes, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was (1.8%) compared to 2.0% in the comparable prior period.  The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, state and local taxes, and an income tax provision resulting from the increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangibles. 

 

Each quarter the Company updates its annual estimated effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments for changes in estimates as necessary. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against the portion of its U.S. deferred tax asset and projected 2016 loss that cannot be realized by carrying back for a refund of taxes paid in prior years. In arriving at the year to date tax benefit as of June 30, 2016, the tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2016 includes the cumulative adjustment for the change in estimate.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, a tax benefit for projected current year U.S. losses could not be recognized as the Company does not have sufficient taxable income within the carry back period provided for under enacted U.S. tax law. 

 

Other income— For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had other income of $0.3 and $0.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, other income is the result of revaluing a contingent acquisition liability related to an option to acquire certain PM bank debt.  For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had other income as the fair market value of a contingent liability associated with the PM acquisition was reduced based on revaluation that used updated information

 

Net loss from continuing operations —For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company had a net loss of $4.9 and $5.4 million, respectively.  The change is explained above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $3.6 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2016. In addition, the Company has a U.S. revolving credit facility with maturity date of July 20, 2019. At June 30, 2017 the Company had approximately $11.8 million available to borrow under its revolving credit facility.    

  

At June 30, 2017, the PM Group had established working capital facilities with seven Italian and six South American banks. Under these facilities, the PM Group can borrow $26.6 million against orders, invoices and letters of credit. At June 30, 2017, the PM Group had received advances of $23.6 million. Future advances are dependent on having available collateral.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, total debt decreased by $2.3 million to $93.1 million at June 30, 2017 from $95.4 million at December 31, 2016.

Future availability under credit facilities

As stated above, the Company had cash of $3.6 million and approximately $11.8 million available to borrow under its credit facility at June 30, 2017.  

The PM Group has their own working capital facilities. As stated above, any future advances against the Italian facilities are dependent on having available collateral. Additionally, the Company is permitted to make limited advances to the Italian operations if needed under the Company’s credit facilities.

The Company needs cash to fund normal working capital needs and to make scheduled debt payments as shown in the above table.  The U.S. credit facilities are asset based. The maximum the Company may borrow under either facility is the lower of the credit line or the available collateral, as defined in the credit agreements. Collateral under the agreements consists of stated percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory.

Under the collateral formulas in the credit facilities accounts receivable collateral is equal to a stated percent of eligible accounts receivable (generally 85%), while inventory collateral is equal to a stated percent of eligible inventory (generally 50%) and caps total borrowing against our inventory.  If our revenues were to increase significantly in the future, the provision limiting borrowing against

34


accounts receivable and inventory may result in additional cash constraints. If this were to occur, we would attempt to negotiate higher inventory caps with our banks.  There is, however, no assurance that the banks would agree to increase the caps.

The Company expects cash flows from operations and existing availability under the current revolving credit facilities will be adequate to fund future operations. If in the future, we were to determine that additional funding is necessary, we believe that it would be available. There is, however, no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms.

We will likely need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings to fund any future acquisitions. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms.

2017

Operating activities consumed $4.4 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2017 comprised of net loss of $5.5 million, non-cash items that totaled $2.4 million and changes in assets and liabilities related to continuing operations consumed $6.1 million. Additionally, discontinued operations generated $4.8 million of cash in the quarter.    The principal non-cash items that generated cash are depreciation and amortization of $2.7 million, share based compensation of $0.4 million, amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.2 million, amortization of debt discounts of $0.2 million offset by decrease in inventory reserves of $0.2 million, a change in deferred income taxes of $0.2 million, the gains on revaluation of a contingent acquisition liability of $0.3 million and a gain on interest rate swaps of $0.4 million.

The change in assets and liabilities related to continuing operations consumed $6.1 million.  The changes in assets and liabilities had the following impact on cash flows: accounts receivable consumed $9.4 million, inventory consumed $0.3 million, prepaid expenses consumed $0.2 million, accounts payable generated $4.5 million, accrued expenses consumed $0.2 million, other current liabilities generated $0.2 million, and other long-term liabilities consumed $0.7 million.  The increase in accounts receivable and accounts payable are the result of an increase in sales as compared to the first quarter of 2017 and expected revenue growth, respectively.  The fluctuation in the remaining assets and liabilities are within a range that would normally be expected to occur.

Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 generated $12.3 million of cash.  The Company received $12.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of its partial interest in ASV Holdings. The Company used $0.5 million of cash to purchase machinery and equipment.

Financing activities consumed $9.7 million in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  Cash was generated from increases in borrowing under PM’s working capital facilities of $3.2 million, the receipt of proceeds of $2.4 related a stock offering and $0.5 million in new debt.  The cash generated was partially offset by a decrease in borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facilities of $6.7 million, notes payments of $3.2 million, the repurchase of $0.1 million of stock from employees to satisfy employees’ tax withhold upon vesting of restricted shares and the payment of $0.7 million under capital lease obligations. Discontinued operations financing activities consumed an additional $5.1 million.

2016

Operating activities consumed $7.3 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2016 comprised of net loss of $0.1 million, non-cash items that totaled $5.5 million and changes in assets and liabilities related to continuing operations consumed $5.7 million. Additionally, discontinued operations consumed $7.0 million. The principal non-cash items  that generated cash are depreciation and amortization of $3.6 million, increases in allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory reserves that together total $0.6 million, write down of goodwill of $0.3, amortization of debt discounts of $0.3 million, share based compensation of $0.6 million and amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.8 million offset by the gain of $0.4 million on the mark to market revaluation of interest rate swaps,  a changed in deferred taxes of $0.3 million and $0.9 million gain on the revaluation of a contingent acquisition liability.

The change in assets and liabilities related to continuing operations consumed $5.7 million.  The changes in assets and liabilities had the following impact on cash flows: accounts receivable consumed $7.5 million, inventory generated $4.5 million, prepaid expenses generated $0.3 million, other assets generated $0.2 million, accounts payable consumed $1.7 million, accrued expenses consumed $2.0 million, other current liabilities generated $0.7 million, and other long-term liabilities consumed $0.1 million. The increase in accounts receivable is due to the fact that collections of large receivable has been delayed.  This receivable was fully collected.  The fluctuations in the remaining assets and liabilities are within a range that would normally be expected to occur and in part due lower revenues.

Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 generated $3.5 million of cash. Discontinued operations provided $4.0 million. The Company used $0.7 million of cash to purchase machinery and equipment and generated $0.2 million from the sale of equipment.

35


Financing activities generated $4.7 million in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  Cash was generated by increases in borrowing under the revolving credit facilities of $0.9 million, and the working capital facilities of $3.9 million and by $4.1 million from a sales and lease back transaction.  Additionally, the Company borrowed $0.7 million to finance a portion of 2016 insurance premiums. Other financing activities consumed $4.9 million which is primarily related to debt repayments (including capital lease obligations). Discontinued operations provided by financing activities totaled $0.5 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, for a discussion of the Company’s other critical accounting policies.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, deferral of the effective date, which amends ASU 2014-09.  As a result, the effective date is the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value and options that currently exist for market value be eliminated. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively.  The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results when adopted.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”) requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-05”). ASU 2016-05 provides guidance clarifying that novation of a derivative contract (i.e. a change in counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require designation of that hedge accounting relationship. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted.

 

36


In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-06 simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options by clarifying that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” (“ASU 2016-08”). ASU 2016-08 further clarifies principal and agent relationships within ASU 2014-09. Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is intended to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment awards. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted the guidance for the year ended December 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted.

 

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” (“ASU 2016-10”).  The amendments in ASU 2016-10 are expected to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance on identifying promised goods or services in contracts with customers and to improve the operability and understandability of licensing implementation guidance related to the entity's intellectual property.  Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.  The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” (“ASU 2016-15”).  ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting by clarifying existing principles in ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and provides specific guidance on certain cash flow classification issues.  The effective date for ASU 2016-15 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted.  The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory,” (“ASU 2016-16”).  ASU 2016-16 requires recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of any asset (excluding inventory) when the transfer occurs. This is a change from existing GAAP which prohibits recognition of current and deferred income taxes until the asset is sold to a third party.  The effective date for ASU 2016-16 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides guidance in ascertaining whether a collection of assets and activities is considered a business. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted in 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Private Bank has issued 3 standby letters of credit at June 30, 2017.  The first standby letter of credit is $0.625 million in favor of an insurance carrier to secure obligations which may arise in connection with future deductibles payments that may be incurred under Company’s workman compensation insurance policies.  The second standby letter of credit is $0.02 million in favor of a governmental agency to secure obligations which may arise in connection with workman compensation claims.  The third standby letter of credit is $0.15 million in favor of a customer to secure a commercial contract.

 

 

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s market risk disclosures have not materially changed since the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed. The Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are incorporated by reference from Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2017.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of June 30, 2017 to provide reasonable assurance that (1) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The Company’s credit agreement with Private Bank directly restricts the Company’s ability to declare or pay dividends without Private Bank’s consent.
