MANITEX INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
GENERAL
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by Manitex International, Inc. speaks as of September 30, 2018 unless specifically noted otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, Manitex International, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is hereinafter referred to as “Manitex,” the “Registrant,” “us,” “we,” “our” or the “Company.”
Forward-Looking Information
Certain information in this Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These statements relate to, among other things, the Company’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, future strategies, future events or future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In addition, when included in this Quarterly Report or in documents incorporated herein by reference the words “may,” “expects,” “should,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates” and the negatives thereof and analogous or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. We have based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and projections about future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. Such statements are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include, without limitation, those described below and in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors”:
• |
a future substantial deterioration in economic conditions, especially in the United States and Europe; |
• |
government spending, fluctuations in the construction industry, and capital expenditures in the oil and gas industry; |
• |
our level of indebtedness and our ability to meet financial covenants required by our debt agreements; |
• |
our ability to negotiate extensions of our credit agreements and to obtain additional debt or equity financing when needed; |
• |
the cyclical nature of the markets we operate in; |
• |
the impact that the restatement of our previously issued financial statements could have on our business reputation and relations with our customers and suppliers; |
• |
increase in interest rates; |
• |
our increasingly international operations expose us to additional risks and challenges associated with conducting business internationally; |
• |
our customers’ diminished liquidity and credit availability; |
• |
the performance of our competitors; |
• |
shortages in supplies and raw materials or the increase in costs of materials; |
• |
potential losses under residual value guarantees; |
• |
product liability claims, intellectual property claims, and other liabilities; |
• |
the volatility of our stock price; |
• |
future sales of our common stock; |
• |
the willingness of our stockholders and directors to approve mergers, acquisitions, and other business transactions; |
• |
currency transaction (foreign exchange) risks and the risk related to forward currency contracts; |
1
• |
a substantial portion of our revenues are attributed to limited number of customers which may decrease or cease purchasing any time; |
• |
impairment in the carrying value of goodwill could negatively affect our operating results; |
• |
difficulties in implementing new systems, integrating acquired businesses, managing anticipated growth, and responding to technological change; |
• |
a disruption or breach in our information technology systems; |
• |
certain provisions of the Michigan Business Corporation Act and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, Amended and Restated Bylaws, and the Company’s Preferred Stock Purchase Rights may discourage or prevent a change in control of the Company; |
• |
Potential negative effects related to the SEC investigation into our Company; |
• |
other factors. |
The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from what we projected. We do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to update this forward-looking information, except as required under applicable law.

MANITEX INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods. Interim results may not be indicative of results to be realized for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. All references in this report to financial results related to 2017 reflect the previously restated results for the first and second quarters of 2017.
The Company is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions and operates as a single business segment. Operating activities are conducted through the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: Manitex, Inc. (“Manitex”), Badger Equipment Company (“Badger”), PM Group S.p.A. and Subsidiaries (“PM Group”), Manitex Valla S.r.l. (“Valla”), Sabre Manufacturing, LLC (“Sabre”), Crane and Machinery, Inc. (“C&M”), and Crane and Machinery Leasing, Inc. (“C&M Leasing”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Manitex International, Inc. and subsidiaries in which it has a greater than 50% voting interest (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts, profits and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entity
Even though it never had an ownership interest in SVW Crane & Equipment Company (together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Rental Consulting Service Company, “SVW”), the Company previously had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted SVW’s economic performance. Additionally, the Company was the primary beneficiary of its relationship with SVW. SVW obtained third party financing, which was effectively guaranteed by the Company, on specific cranes the Company manufactured and remitted the loan proceeds to the Company. Other than its business transactions described herein, SVW had no other substantial business operations. The Company determined that SVW was a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) that under current accounting guidance needed to be consolidated in the Company’s financial results. By December 31, 2017, SVW had ceased operations and is therefore not a consolidated VIE after December 31, 2017.

ASV Segment
ASV is located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota and manufactures a line of high-quality compact track and skid steer loaders. The products are used in site clearing, general construction, forestry, golf course maintenance and landscaping industries, with general construction being the largest.
Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company owned a 51% interest in ASV Holdings, Inc., which was formerly known as A.S.V., LLC (“ASV”). 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 was converted to 4,080,000 common shares of ASV. On May 17, 2017, in connection with its initial public offering, ASV sold 1,800,000 of its own shares and the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of ASV common stock and reduced its investment in ASV to a 21.2% interest. ASV was deconsolidated and was recorded as an equity investment starting with the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Periods ending before June 30, 2017 reflect ASV as a discontinued operation. In February 2018, the Company sold an additional 1,000,000 shares of ASV that it held which reduced the Company’s investment in ASV to approximately 11.0%. The Company ceased accounting for its investment in ASV under the equity method and now accounts for its investment as a marketable equity security. See Notes 8 and 18 for additional discussion related to the accounting treatment of the investment in ASV after the sale of the additional shares.
2. Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates all entities that we control by ownership of a majority voting interest. Additionally, there are situations in which consolidation is required even though the usual condition of consolidation (ownership of a majority voting interest) does not apply. Generally, this occurs when an entity holds an interest in another business enterprise that was achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests, which results in a disproportionate relationship between such entity's voting interests in, and its exposure to the economic risks and potential rewards of, the other business enterprise. This disproportionate relationship results in what is known as a variable interest, and the entity in which we have this interest is referred to as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). An enterprise must consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Although the Company never had an ownership interest in SVW, the Company previously had the power to direct the activities of SVW that most significantly impacted its economic performance and absorbed the losses. As such, the Company determined that SVW was a VIE that required consolidation. SVW obtained financing and remitted the proceeds to the Company using inventory (cranes) owned by the Company as collateral. The finance companies that hold the loans have a perfected security interest in the inventory and therefore have recourse against this specific inventory. Furthermore, the debt taken on by SVW was effectively guaranteed by the Company pursuant to certain related agreements. By December 31, 2017, SVW ceased operations and is not a consolidated VIE after December 31, 2017.
The Company eliminates from the Company’s financial results all significant intercompany transactions, including the intercompany transactions with consolidated VIEs.
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 $34 and $82 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Guarantees
The Company has issued partial residual guarantees to financial institutions related to a customer financing of equipment purchased by the customer. The Company must assess the probability of losses if the fair market value is less than the guaranteed residual value.
The Company has issued partially residual guarantees that have maximum exposure of approximately $1.6 million. The Company, however, does not have any reason to believe that any exposure from such a guarantee is either probable or estimable at this time, as such, no liability has been recorded. The Company’s ability to recover any losses incurred under the guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in used equipment markets at the time of loss.
9
The Company records a liability for the estimated fair value of guarantees issued pursuant to ASC 460. The Company recognizes a loss under a guarantee when its obligation to make payment under the guarantee is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. A loss would be recognized if the Company’s payment obligation under the guarantee exceeds the value it can expect to recover to offset such payment, primarily through the sale of the equipment underlying the guarantee.
Inventory, net
Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or net realizable value. All equipment classified as inventory is available for sale. 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. The Equipment Distribution division does not accrue for warranty costs at the time of sales, as they are reimbursed by the manufacturers for any warranty that they provide to their customers.
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 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.
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 hedged instrument affects earnings (date of sale). The Company’s interest rate swap contracts are held by the PM Group and are intended to manage the exposure to interest rate risk related to certain term loans that PM Group has with certain financial institutions in Italy. 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 comprehensive income adjustment required for the Company consists of a foreign currency translation adjustment, which is the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiaries.
10
Accounting for Equity Investments
Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company accounted for its 21.2% investment in ASV under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the net income (loss) of ASV was recognized as income (loss) in the Company’s statement of operations and added to the investment account, and dividends received from ASV were treated as a reduction of the investment account. The Company reports ASV’s earnings on a one quarter lag as ASV may not report earnings in time to be included in the Company’s financial statements for any given reporting period.
On May 17, 2017 (the date ASV became an equity investment), the Company’s investment in ASV exceeded the proportional share of ASV’s net assets. Under current applicable guidance, assets and liabilities of the investee (ASV) were valued at fair market value on the date of the investment. The Company’s investment, however, was not adjusted for the difference between the Company’s proportional share of the net assets and the fair value of the assets that existed on the date that the investment was made. The differences were accounted for on a memo basis. The differences can be either of temporary nature or permanent differences. Adjustment to inventory and identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are temporary differences. Fair market adjustments to land and goodwill are examples of permanent differences. Differences related to temporary items are amortized over their lives. Earnings recognized are the proportional share of investee’s income for the period adjusted for reversal of any timing differences or additional amortization related to the memo fair market adjustments of identifiable intangible assets that have finite lives.
Between February 26 and 28, 2018, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of ASV stock reducing the Company’s investment in ASV to approximately 11.0%. See Notes 8 and 18. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company:
|
• |
Recognized its proportional share of ASV loss for the three months ended December 31, 2017, |
|
• |
Recorded a loss on the sale of shares, |
|
• |
Ceased accounting for ASV as an equity investment, and |
|
• |
Valued its remaining investment in ASV at its current market value. |
Accounting for Marketable Equity Securities
Marketable equity securities are valued at fair market value based on the closing price of the stock on the date of the balance sheet. Gains and loss related fair value adjustments related to marketable equity securities are recorded into income each reporting period.
Shipping and Handling
The Company records the amount of shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.
Adoption of Highly Inflationary Accounting in Argentina
GAAP guidance requires the use of highly inflationary accounting for countries whose cumulative three-year inflation exceeds 100 percent. In the second quarter of 2018, published inflation indices indicated that the three-year cumulative inflation in Argentina exceeded 100 percent, and as of July 1, 2018, we elected to adopt highly inflationary accounting for our subsidiary in Argentina (“PM Argentina”). Under highly inflationary accounting, PM Argentina’s functional currency became the Euro (its parent company’s reporting currency), and its income statement and balance sheet have been measured in Euros using both current and historical rates of exchange. The effect of changes in exchange rates on peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities has been reflected in earnings in other (income) and expense, net and was not material. As of September 30, 2018, PM Argentina had a small net peso monetary position. Net sales of PM Argentina were less than 5 and 10 percent of our consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Recently Issued Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”), which 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. The Company disclosed in its 2017 10-K that the Company had future operating lease commitments of approximately $5,000. This is an indication of the potential magnitude that adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.
11
Subsequently, the FASB issued the following standards related to ASU 2016-02: ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842,” (“ASU 2018-01”), ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” (“ASU 2018-10”) and ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”). ASU 2018-01 permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient under Topic 842 related to existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. ASU 2018-10 clarifies certain guidance within ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 is intended to reduce costs and ease implementation of ASU 2016-02. The Company will evaluate the impact and adopt ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11 in conjunction with its adoption of ASU 2016-02.
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.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU 2018-2”). ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from H.R. 1 “An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018” (commonly known as “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”). The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
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 was the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results.
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 requires 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 was the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. Adoption of the new standard has had no material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, cash flows statements or net income.
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 was the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. Adoption of the new standard has had no material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, cash flows statements or net income.

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 was the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results when adopted. The Company’s revenue recognition policy adopted as a result of the New Revenue Standards is presented in Note 3 below.
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 was the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company made an election to use the “Cumulative Earning Approach” to classify distributions received from equity investments. Other than the aforementioned election (which may have a future impact), the adoption of this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, did not have an impact on the Company’s Statement of Cash Flows.
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 prior GAAP which prohibited recognition of current and deferred income taxes until the asset was sold to a third party. The effective date for ASU 2016-16 was the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results.
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 is the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted.
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.
3. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our equipment, parts or installation services (typically completed within one day), which occurs at a point in time. Equipment can be redirected during the manufacturing phase such that over time revenue recognition is not appropriate. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Our contracts are non-cancellable and returns are only allowed in limited instances through Crane & Machinery, Inc. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold and do not constitute a separate performance obligation.
For instances where equipment and installation services are sold together, the Company accounts for the equipment and installation services separately. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between the equipment and installation services based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the equipment.
In some instances, the Company fulfills its obligations and bills the customer for the work performed but does not ship the goods until a later date. These arrangements are considered bill-and-hold transactions. In order to recognize revenue on the bill-and-hold transactions, the Company ensures the customer has requested the arrangement, the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer, the product is ready for shipment to the customer in its current form, and the Company does not have the ability to direct the product to a different customer. A portion of the transaction price is not allocated to the custodial services due to the immaterial value assigned to that performance obligation.
Payment terms offered to customers are defined in contracts and purchase orders and do not include a significant financing component. At times, the Company may offer discounts which are considered variable consideration however, the Company applies the constraint guidance when determining the transaction price to be allocated to the performance obligations.

Contract Balances
Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Customer Deposits
At times, the Company may require an upfront deposit related to its contracts. In instances where an upfront deposit has been received by the Company and the revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met, the Company records a contract liability in the form of a customer deposit, which is classified as a short-term liability on the balance sheet. That customer deposit is revenue that is deferred until the revenue recognition criteria have been met, at which time, the customer deposit is recognized into revenue.
The following table summarizes changes in customer deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

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 is 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.

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.
17
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. As of September 30, 2018, 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.
In addition, the Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts in relationship such that the exchange gains and losses on certain 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. PM Group has an intercompany receivable denominated in Euros from its Chilean subsidiary. At September 30, 2018, the Company had entered into two forward currency exchange contracts that mature on November 23, 2018 and November 14, 2018, respectively. Under the first contract the Company is obligated to sell 1,900,000 Chilean pesos for 2,450 euros. The Company has a second contract which obligates the Company to sell 300,000 Chilean pesos for $477. The purpose of the forward contracts 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 (€ 211 at September 30, 2018), 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 September 30, 2018, 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.

8. Equity Method Investments
The Company accounted for its investment in ASV during the period (May 17, 2017 to February 26, 2018) that it owned 21.2% of ASV as an equity investment. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the net income (loss) of ASV was recognized as income (loss) in the Company’s statement of operations and added to investment account, and dividends received from ASV were treated as a reduction of the investment account. The Company reported ASV’s earnings on a one quarter lag as ASV may not report earnings in time to be included in the Company’s financial statements for any given reporting period. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded its proportional share of ASV’s loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and recorded amortization related temporary differences.

11. Credit Facilities and Debt
U.S. Credit Facilities
At September 30, 2018, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries have a Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, (the “Loan Agreement”) with The CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”), formerly known as “The Private Bank and Trust Company”. The Loan Agreement provides a revolving credit facility with a maturity date of July 20, 2021. 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 net realizable value 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 September 30, 2018, the maximum the Company could borrow based on available collateral was $24,400. At September 30, 2018, the Company had no borrowings under this facility. 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. 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. In addition, CIBC assesses a 0.50% unused line fee that is payable monthly.
21
The Loan Agreement subjects the Company and its domestic subsidiaries to a quarterly EBITDA covenant (as defined). The quarterly EBITDA covenant (as defined) is $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. At the end of a quarter, if there is $15,000 of availability and outstanding borrowings of less than $5,000, covenant testing is waived. 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—Winona Facility Purchase
At September 30, 2018, Badger has a balance on note payable to Avis Industrial Corporation of $400. Badger is required to make 60 monthly payments of $10 that began on August 1, 2017. The note dated July 26, 2017, had an original principal amount of $500 and annual interest rate of 8.00%. The note is guaranteed by the Company.
PM Debt Restructuring
On March 6, 2018, PM Group and Oil & Steel S.p.A. (PM Group’s subsidiary) entered into a Debt Restructuring Agreement (the “Restructuring Agreement”) with Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A., Banca Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A., BPER Banca S.p.A., Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna S.p.A. and Unicredit S.p.A. (collectively the “Lenders”), and Loan Agency Services S.r.l. (the “Agent”). The Restructuring Agreement, which replaces the previous debt restructuring agreement with the Lenders entered into in 2014, provides for, among other things:
|
• |
The provision of subordinated shareholders’ loans by the Company to PM Group, consisting of (i) conversion of an existing trade receivable in the amount of €3.1 million into a loan; (ii) an additional subordinated shareholders’ loan in the aggregate maximum amount of up to €2.4 million, to be made currently; and (iii) a further loan of €1.8 million to be made by December 31, 2018, in each case to be used to repay a portion of PM Group’s outstanding obligations to the Lenders; |
|
• |
Amendments to the 2014 put and call options agreement with BPER to, among other things, extend the exercise of the options until the approval of PM Group’s financial statements for the 2021 fiscal year and permit the assignment of certain subordinated receivables to the Company. The fair market value of this liability is subject to revaluation on a recurring basis. |
|
• |
New amortization and repayment schedules for amounts owed by PM Group to the Lenders under the various outstanding tranches of indebtedness, along with revised interest rates and financial covenants. Under the Debt Restructuring Agreement term debt is repaid over a nine-year period starting in 2018 and ending in 2026 (2022 prior to Debt Restructuring Agreement); and |
|
• |
The effect of PM not meeting its December 31, 2017 financial covenants was cured by the Debt Restructuring Agreement. |
PM Group Short-Term Working Capital Borrowings
At September 30, 2018, PM Group had established demand credit and overdraft facilities with six Italian banks, one Spanish bank and eight banks in South America. Under the facilities, PM Group can borrow up to approximately €24,689 ($28,694) for advances against invoices, and letter of credit and bank overdrafts. These facilities are divided into two types: working capital facilities and cash facilities. Interest on the Italian working capital facilities and cash facilities is charged at the 3-month Euribor plus 175 or 200 basis points and 3-month Euribor plus 350 basis points, respectively.

Accrued interest on these borrowings through the date of acquisition at January 15, 2015, totaled €358 ($416) and is payable in semi-annual installments beginning June 2019 and ending December 2019.
22

The balloon payment is payable in a single payment of €3,002 in 2026.
An adjustment in the purchase accounting to value the non-interest-bearing debt at its fair market value was made. At March 6, 2018 it was determined that the fair value of the debt was €480 or $557 less than the book value. This reduction is not reflected in the above descriptions of PM debt. This discount is being amortized over the life of the debt and being charged to interest expense. As of September 30, 2018, the remaining balance was €418 or $486 and has been offset to the debt.
At September 30, 2018, PM Group has unsecured borrowings with three Italian banks totaling €12,566 ($14,604).

The Company leases its Georgetown facility under a capital lease that expires on April 30, 2028. The monthly rent is currently $66 and is increased by 3% annually on September 1 during the term of the lease. At September 30, 2018, the outstanding capital lease obligation is $5,072.
Equipment
The Company has entered into a lease agreement with a bank pursuant to which the Company is permitted to borrow 100% of the cost of new equipment with 48 month repayment periods. At the conclusion of the lease period, for each piece of equipment the Company is required to purchase that piece of leased equipment for one dollar.
The equipment, which is acquired in ordinary course of the Company’s business, is available for sale and rental prior to sale.
Under the lease agreement the Company can elect to exercise an early buyout option at any time, and pay the bank the present value of the remaining rental payments discounted by a specified Index Rate established at the time of leasing. The early buyout option results in a prepayment penalty which progressively decreases during the term of the lease. Alternatively, under the like-kind provisions in the agreement, the Company can elect to replace or substitute different equipment in place of equipment subject to the early buyout without incurring a penalty.
The following is a summary of amounts financed under equipment capital lease agreements:

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.
As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the note had a remaining principal balance of $7,119 and $7,005 an unamortized discount of $381 and $495, respectively.
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
24
Company’s option prior to the maturity date, and the payment of principal is subject to acceleration upon an 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(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
In accordance with a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors dated January 7, 2015, the Company agreed to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Perella Notes. The Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company was declared effective by the SEC on February 23, 2015.
As of September 30, 2018, the note had a remaining principal balance of $14,695 (less $220 debt issuance cost for a net debt of $14,475) and an unamortized discount of $305, compared to a remaining balance of $14,604 (less $294 debt issuance cost for a net debt of $14,310) and an unamortized discount of $396 at December 31, 2017.
13. Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $335, which includes a discrete income tax provision of $111. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2018 primarily consists of foreign income taxes, a domestic income tax provision resulting from state and local taxes and a discrete income tax provision related to the accrual of taxes and interest related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $281.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was an income tax provision of 73.09% on pretax income of $457 compared to an income tax provision of 22.64% on a pretax loss of $1,241 in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, nondeductible foreign permanent differences, domestic losses for which the Company is not recognizing an income tax benefit and an accrual of taxes and interest related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $540, which includes a discrete income tax provision of $156. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily consists of foreign income taxes, a domestic income tax provision resulting from state and local taxes, and a discrete income tax provision for the accrual of taxes and interest related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $416.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was an income tax provision of (30.17%) on a pretax loss of $1,790 compared to an income tax provision of 6.91% on a pretax loss of $6,021 in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, nondeductible foreign permanent differences, domestic losses for which the Company is not recognizing an income tax benefit and an accrual for taxes and interest related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Jobs Act”) was enacted into law. In response to the enactment of the Act, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act. The purpose of SAB No. 118 was to address any uncertainty or diversity of view in applying ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes in the reporting period in which the Jobs Act was enacted. SAB No. 118 addresses situations where the accounting is incomplete for certain income tax effects of the Jobs Act upon issuance of a company’s financial statements for the reporting period that includes the enactment date. SAB No. 118 allows for a provisional amount to be recorded if it is a reasonable estimate of the impact of the Jobs Act. Additionally, SAB No. 118 allows for a measurement period to finalize the impacts of the Jobs Act, not to extend beyond one year from the date of enactment.
The Company’s accounting for certain elements of the Jobs Act was incomplete as of the period ended December 31, 2017, some of which remains incomplete as of September 30, 2018. The Company was able to make reasonable estimates of the effects of the Jobs Act and, therefore, recorded provisional estimates for these items at December 31, 2017.
25
The Jobs Act includes a mandatory one-time tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As a result, all previously unremitted earnings for which no U.S. deferred tax liability had been accrued are now subject to U.S. tax. In accordance with the guidelines provided by the Jobs Act and the Department of Treasury’s proposed regulations, we have completed our calculation of the one-time transition tax. We have aggregated untaxed foreign earnings and profits, utilized participation exemption deductions and reported a $4.8 million taxable income inclusion in our U.S. federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2017. Given our tax loss for the year ended December 31, 2017, we are not subject to U.S. federal and state taxes in connection with the deemed repatriation of earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Deemed paid foreign taxes of $0.5 million, for which the Company is not recognizing a tax benefit, can be carried forward for 10 years.
The Company has not elected to make certain basis adjustments with respect to each deferred foreign income corporation and each Earnings and Profit deficit corporation as the Treasury Department and the IRS have provided an extension for making a binding basis election. Notwithstanding the U.S. taxation of these deemed repatriated amounts, we intend to continue to invest these earnings indefinitely outside the U.S., and do not expect to incur any significant additional taxes related to such amounts.
The Company has not made a policy election with respect to the income tax effects of the new Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision. Under U.S. GAAP, companies can either account for taxes on GILTI as a current period expense or recognize deferred taxes when basis differences exist that are expected to affect the amount of GILTI inclusion upon reversal. Due to the complexity of these new rules we are continuing to evaluate the potential impact of the U.S. taxation of foreign operations. In accordance with SAB 118, the Company did not include an estimate of the tax expense/benefit related to GILTI for the period ended December 31, 2017.
The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 were approximately $1,100 and $983 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 tax year 2013 and Romania for tax years 2012-2016. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) closed examination of the Company’s 2015 tax return with no change to the tax liability reported. Favorable resolution of an unrecognized tax benefit could be recognized as a reduction in the 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. The favorable resolution of the IRS examination did not have a significant impact on the unrecognized tax benefits.

2004 Equity Incentive Plan
In 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and subsequently amended and/or 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.

The options which expire on May 23, 2028 grants the consultant an option to purchase 47,437 shares of the Company’s common stock at $11.08 per share (the closing price of the stock on the day before the Tadano Purchase Agreement was executed.) The Company determined that the fair market value of the options was $130 on date of grant. The value of options is one component of the expenses related to the Tadano transactions discussed above.
16. 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 annual aggregates that range from $1,000 to $1,875 depending on the policy year. 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 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, the Company entered into two separate settlement agreements with two plaintiffs. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs an aggregate of $1,235 without interest in 13 annual installments of $95 on or before May 22 of each year. 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 the 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.
30
As described in Note 13, Income Taxes, the Company increased its unrecognized tax benefits in connection with the Romanian tax audit and pending legal proceedings.
Residual Value Guarantees
The Company issues residual value guarantees to support a customer’s financing of equipment purchased from the Company. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date if certain conditions are met by the customer. The Company has issued partial residual guarantees that have maximum exposure of approximately $1.6 million. The Company does not have any reason to believe that any exposure from such a guarantee is either probable or estimable at this time, as such no liability has been recorded. The Company’s ability to recover losses experienced from its guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in used equipment markets at the time of loss.
SEC Inquiry
The Company continues to comply with the SEC investigation regarding the Company’s restatement of prior financial statements, which was completed in April 2018.
17. Transactions between the Company and Related Parties
In the course of conducting its business, the Company has entered into certain related party transactions.
C&M is a distributor of Terex rough terrain and truck cranes. As such, C&M purchases cranes and parts from Terex. Additionally, The Company has a convertible note with a face amount of $7,500 payable to Terex. See Note 12 for additional details.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company was the majority owner of ASV and, therefore, ASV was not a related party during that period. In May 2017, the Company reduced is its ownership interest in ASV to 21.4% and in February 2018 further reduced its ownership to approximately 11%. As such, ASV became a related party beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Company did not have any transactions with ASV during the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had accounts receivable and accounts payable with related parties as shown below:

The Company leases its 40,000 sq. ft. Bridgeview facility from an entity controlled by Mr. David Langevin, the Company’s Chairman and CEO. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, the Company makes monthly lease payments of $22. The Company is also responsible for all the associated operations expenses, including insurance, property taxes, and repairs. On October 3, 2018, the lease was amended to extend the initial lease term to fifteen years expiring in May 26, 2025 with a provision for six one year extension periods. The lease contains a rental escalation clause under which annual rent is increased during the initial lease term by the lesser of the increase in the Consumer Price Increase or 2.0%. Rent for any extension period shall, however, be the then-market rate for similar industrial buildings within the market area. The Company has the option to purchase the building by giving the Landlord written notice at any time prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the expiration of the lease or any extension period. The Landlord can require the Company to purchase the building if a Change of Control Event, as defined in the agreement occurs by giving written notice to the Company at any time prior to the date that is 180 days prior to expiration of the lease or any extension period. The purchase price regardless whether the purchase is initiated by the Company or the landlord will be the Fair Market Value as of the closing date of said sale. |
Note Payable to Terex
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a convertible note payable of $7,119 (net of unamortized debt discount) to Terex. See Note 12 for additional details regarding this convertible note.
18. Discontinued Operations and Partial Disposition of the Remaining Equity Investment
Sale of Partial Interest in ASV Holdings
On May 17, 2017, the Company and ASV completed the underwritten initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 3,800,000 shares of ASV 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. The condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflects ASV as discontinued operations.
Following the sale of the above referenced shares, the Company had significant continuing involvement with ASV in the form of an equity investment (21.2% ownership in ASV). At the time of the above transaction, the Company’s plans were to hold the remaining shares it owned in ASV for an indefinite period.

Partial Disposition of the Remaining Equity Investment
Over the period from February 26 to 28, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of ASV in privately-negotiated transactions with institutional purchasers. All such shares were sold for $7.00 per share. Following such sale transactions, the Company owns an aggregate of 1,080,000 shares of ASV which equates to approximately 11.0% percent of ASV. After this transaction, the investment in ASV is no longer accounted for under the equity method. The Company recognized a pretax loss of $205 (which includes the $118 of commissions paid) in connection with sale of these shares. The Company was not able to record a tax benefit for this loss.
Going forward, the Company’s remaining investment in ASV is shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a marketable equity security that will be marked to market (fair value) each reporting period. Gains and losses related to fair value adjustments on marketable equity securities are recorded into income each reporting period. The Company recognized a $907 loss during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and a loss of $2,308 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Manitex International, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiaries: Manitex, Badger, PM Group, Valla, Sabre, C&M and C&M Leasing, designs, manufactures and distributes a diverse group of products that serve different functions and are used in a variety of industries.
Manitex is located in Georgetown, Texas and markets a comprehensive line of boom trucks, truck cranes and sign cranes.
Badger is located in Winona, Minnesota and manufactures specialized rough terrain cranes and material handling products.
PM Group is a leading Italian manufacturer of truck mounted hydraulic knuckle boom cranes and a product range spanning more than 50 models. Through their consolidated subsidiaries, they have locations in Modena, Italy; Arad, Romania; Chassieu, France; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Santiago, Chile; London, UK and Mexico City, Mexico.
Valla is located in Piacenza, Italy and produces a line of industrial pick and carry cranes using electric, diesel and hybrid power options with lifting capacity that ranges from 2 to 90 tons.
Sabre, which is located in Knox, Indiana, manufactures a comprehensive line of specialized mobile tanks for liquid and solid storage and containment solutions with capacities from 8,000 to 21,000 gallons.
C&M and C&M Leasing are located in Bridgeview, Illinois. C&M is a distributor of new and used Manitex branded products as well as Terex rough terrain and truck cranes. C&M also provides repair services in Chicago and supplies repair parts for a wide variety of medium to heavy duty construction equipment. C&M Leasing rents equipment that is manufactured by the Company as well as a limited amount of equipment manufactured by third parties.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entity
Even though it never had an ownership interest in SVW Crane & Equipment Company (together with its wholly owned subsidiary, Rental Consulting Service Company, “SVW”), the Company previously had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted SVW’s economic performance. Additionally, the Company was the primary beneficiary of the SVW relationship. SVW obtained third party financing, which was effectively guaranteed by the Company, on specific cranes the Company manufactured and remitted the loan proceeds to the Company. Other than its business transactions described herein, SVW had no other substantial business operations. The Company determined that SVW was a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) that under current accounting guidance needed to be consolidated in the Company’s financial results. SVW was consolidated into the Company’s financial results beginning in the first quarter of 2016 through the fourth quarter of 2017. By December 31, 2017, SVW had ceased operations and is therefore not a consolidated VIE after December 31, 2017.
Discontinued operations
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, ASV is presented in the Company’s financial statements as a discontinued operation. On May 17, 2017, the Company began accounting for its investment in ASV under the equity method as the Company sold shares of ASV that reduced its ownership percentage from 51% to 21.2%. From February 26 to 28, 2018, the Company sold an additional 1,000,000 shares of ASV stock, which reduced its ownership percentage to approximately 11.0%. The Company ceased accounting for its investment in ASV under the equity method and now treats its investment as marketable equity securities.
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.
34
During the first nine months of 2017 oil prices were in the $50 range but began to strengthen considerably during the fourth quarter of the year. Oil prices at the end of 2017 topped $61 per barrel. The sell-off of excess equipment from the energy sector continued through most of 2017 but the effects diminished throughout the year. The market for boom trucks continued to improve throughout 2017 but remained below normal levels. Orders, however, increased significantly in the fourth quarter of 2017 and going into 2018 demand for boom trucks continued to be significantly above 2017 levels. The general economic environment in the United States during 2018 has been favorable. During 2018, the United States economy has been strong, oil prices have strengthened, and U.S. oil rig count has increased to 1,067 at October 19, 2018 from 929 at December 31, 2017. The Company currently expects the favorable environment that it is currently operating in will continue into 2019.
During the nine months of 2018, the demand for knuckle boom cranes has been steady in all the markets that PM sells into except for some markets in Latin America where local currency turbulence with strong devaluations towards the Euro and US dollar have affected the local demand. The demand from the Middle East market has been consistent with 2017 but has remained significantly slow. During the nine months of 2018, demand from Western and Northern Europe, PM’s largest markets, has remained at a good level. Although there was light growth in the other PM markets, the demand from these markets is still lower than the levels achieved in the past. PM’s markets appear to be stable or growing modestly during the nine months of 2018.
The Company’s backlog is $60.5 million at September 30, 2018, compared to the $61.5 million and $50.3 million at December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2017
Net income (loss) from continuing operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had net income from continuing operations of $0.1 million and a net loss of $1.5 million, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the net income from continuing operations of $0.1 million consisted of revenue of $60.9 million, cost of sales of $48.9 million, research and development costs of $0.8 million, SG&A expenses of $8.2 million, interest expense of $1.3 million, interest income of $0.1 million a loss in change in fair value of securities held of $0.9 million, a foreign currency loss of $0.4 million, and income tax expense of $0.3 million.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the net loss from continuing operations of $1.5 million consisted of revenue of $56.5 million, cost of sales of $46.6 million, research and development costs of $0.6 million, SG&A expenses of $8.3 million, interest expense of $1.7 million, a foreign currency loss of $0.8 million, income from the ASV equity investment of $0.3 million, and income tax expense of $0.3 million.
Net revenues and gross profit —For the three months ended September 30, 2018, net revenues and gross profit were $60.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 19.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, net revenues and gross profit were $56.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 17.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Net revenues increased $4.4 million or 7.8% to $60.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $56.5 million for the comparable period in 2017. The increase is primarily due to increases in straight mast crane and specialized mobile tank revenues. The increase is due to an improvement in market conditions addressed above under the heading “Economic Conditions”. The revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were also favorably impacted by $0.7 million in foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from a stronger Euro.
Our gross profit increased $2.1 million to $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $9.9 million for the comparable period in 2017. The increase in gross profit is attributable to an increase in revenues and a 2.2% improvement in gross profit percentage. The improvement in the gross profit percentage is primarily due to an increase in the gross margin percentage generated on the sale of straight mast cranes. Boom truck and mobile tank margins were favorably impacted by increases in production volume and improved pricing. Pricing improved in 2018, largely the result of a decrease in discounts being offered during 2018.
Research and development —Research and development was $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 consistent with $0.6 million for the same period in 2017. The Company’s research and development spending reflects our continued commitment to develop and introduce new products that give the Company a competitive advantage.
35
Selling, general and administrative expense —Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $8.2 million compared to $8.3 million for the comparable period in 2017, a decrease of $0.1 million.
The decrease is primarily related to Italy and the Company’s restructuring activities. This was also in conjunction with increased accounting and other fees and costs related to the 2016 and 2017 financial statement restatements of approximately $0.2 million and other increases in selling, general and administrative expenses in the United States operations offset by decreased expenses of $0.3 million at PM and $0.2 million at Valla.
Operating income—For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had operating income of $3.0 million compared to $1.0 million for the comparable period in 2017. Operating income increased due to changes in revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses as explained above.
Interest expense —Interest expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1.7 million for the comparable period in 2017. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to a decrease in outstanding debt, which was partially offset by an increase in interest rates.
Foreign currency transaction losses —For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had foreign currency losses of $0.4 million compared to $0.8 million for the comparable period in 2017. 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 losses 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 income— For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had income of $0.003 million compared to other income of $0.01 million for the comparable period in 2017.
Income tax — For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2018 primarily consists of foreign income taxes, a domestic income tax provision resulting from state and local taxes, and a discrete income tax provision for the accrual of taxes and interest related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was an income tax provision of 73.09% on pretax income of $457 compared to an income tax provision of 22.64% on a pretax loss of $1,241 in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, nondeductible foreign permanent differences, domestic losses for which the Company is not recognizing an income tax benefit and an accrual of taxes and interest related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits.
Change in fair value of securities held—For the three months ended September 30, 2018 the Company had losses of $0.9 million. Losses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were due to a change in the fair value of securities held in ASV (see Notes 2 and 8 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Net income or (loss) from continuing operations —For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had a net income of $0.1 million compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, respectively. The change is explained above.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017
Net loss from continuing operations for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had net losses of $2.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the net loss of $2.3 million consisted of revenue of $181.5 million, cost of sales of $146.0 million, research and development costs of $2.2 million, SG&A expenses of $27.2 million, interest expense of $4.4 million, interest income of $0.1 million, loss of $2.3 million from change in fair value of securities held, foreign currency transaction loss of $0.6 million, other expense of $0.4 million, equity investment loss of $0.4 and income tax expense of $0.5 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the net loss of $6.4 million consisted of revenue of $148.6 million, cost of sales of $122.0 million, research and development costs of $1.9 million, SG&A expenses of $25.8 million, interest expense of $4.5 million, foreign currency transaction loss of $1.1 million, other income of $0.4 million, equity investment income of $0.3 million and income tax expense of $0.4 million.
36
Net revenues and gross profit —For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net revenues and gross profit were $181.5 million and $35.5 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 19.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net revenues and gross profit were $148.6 million and $26.7 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percent of revenues was 17.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Net revenues increased $32.9 million or 22.1% to $181.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $148.6 million for the comparable period in 2017. The increases are primarily due to increases in straight mast cranes and specialized mobile tank revenues. The Company also had increases from all other business units for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is due to an improvement in market conditions addressed above under the heading “Economic Conditions”. The revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were also favorably impacted by $5.2 million in foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from a stronger Euro.
Our gross profit increased $8.8 million to $35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $26.7 million for the comparable period in 2017. The increase in gross profit is attributable to an increase in revenues and a 1.7% improvement in gross profit percentage. The improvement in the gross profit percentage is primarily due to an increase in the gross margin percentage generated on the sale of straight mast cranes and specialized mobile tanks. Boom truck margins were favorably impacted by an increase in production volume and improved pricing. Pricing improved in 2018, largely the result of a decrease in discounts being offered during 2018.
Research and development —Research and development was $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2017. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $27.2 million compared to $25.8 million for the comparable period in 2017, an increase of $1.4 million. Approximately $2 million of the increase is attributed to fees related to financial statement restatement costs and $1 million of the increase is attributed to currency exchange impact. In 2017, a non-recurring expense related to the ConExpo trade show (the show is held every three years and was held in March 2017) accounted for $0.6 million in expense. The remaining $1.0 million is attributed to decreases in PM expenses related to restructuring activities, partially offset by increases in the United States which are partially due to increased revenues.
Operating income (loss) —For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had operating income of $6.2 million compared to a loss of $1.0 million for the comparable period in 2017. Operating income increased due to changes in revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses as explained above.
Interest expense —Interest expense was $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $4.5 million for the comparable period in 2017. In 2017, interest expense was reduced by a $0.4 million gain on interest rate swaps that the Company held. 2018 interest expense reflects the benefit of decreased in outstanding debt balances partially offset by higher interest rates.
Foreign currency transaction losses —For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had a foreign currency loss of $0.6 million compared to a $1.1 million loss for the comparable period in 2017. 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 losses 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.
Income tax — For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The calculation of the overall income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily consists of foreign income taxes, a domestic income provision resulting from state and local taxes and a discrete income tax provision for accrual of taxes and interest related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was an income tax provision of (30.17%) on a pretax loss of $1,790 compared to an income tax provision of 6.91% on a pretax loss of $6,021 in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, nondeductible foreign permanent differences, domestic losses for which the Company is not recognizing an income tax benefit and an accrual for taxes and interest related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits.
37
Other income— For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had other loss of $0.4 million compared to $0.3 million in other income for the comparable period in 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had other loss as the fair market value of a contingent liability associated with the PM acquisition was increased based on a revaluation that used updated information.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other income is the result of revaluing a contingent acquisition liability related to an option to acquire certain PM bank debt.
Change in fair value of securities held—-For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had losses of $2.3 million. Losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were due to a change in the fair value of securities held in ASV (see Notes 2 and 8 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Net loss from continuing operations —For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had a net loss of $2.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The change is explained above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $20.6 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2017. In addition, the Company has a U.S. revolving credit facility with a maturity date of July 20, 2021. At September 30, 2018 the Company had approximately $24.4 million available to borrow under its revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Company has a marketable equity investment in ASV common stock with a market value at September 30, 2018 of $5.3 million. The Company’s shares of ASV are covered by an effective resale registration statement and there are no restrictions that would prevent the Company from selling the ASV stock it holds.
At September 30, 2018, the PM Group had established working capital facilities with six Italian, one Spanish and eight South American banks. Under these facilities, the PM Group can borrow $28.7 million against orders, invoices and letters of credit. At September 30, 2018, the PM Group had received advances of $19.3 million. Future advances are dependent on having available collateral.
Our subsidiary in Argentina (“PM Argentina”) began accounting for their operations as highly inflationary effective July 1, 2018, as required by GAAP. Under highly inflationary accounting, PM Argentina’s functional currency became the Euro (its parent company reporting currency), and its income statement and balance sheet have been measured in Euros using both current and historical rates of exchange. The effect of changes in exchange rates on peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities has been reflected in earnings in other (income) and expense, net and was not material. As of September 30, 2018, PM Argentina had a small net peso monetary position. Net sales of PM Argentina were less than 5 and 10 percent of our consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Significant Transactions Affecting Company Liquidity
During 2018, the Company entered into two transactions that had a significant beneficial impact on the Company’s liquidity. During February 2018, the Company sold 1.0 million shares of ASV common stock it held for $7.0 million and on May 29, 2018 Tadano purchased approximately 2.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which generated cash of approximately $32.0 million, net of expenses. A portion of the proceeds raised in these two transactions were used to support an increase in working capital, the result of increased revenues. The remaining proceeds are the principal reason cash has increased by $15.2 million and debt has decreased by $20.6 million since year end.
Change in Debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, total debt decreased by $20.6 million to $75.3 million at September 30, 2018 from $95.9 million at December 31, 2017.

The amounts on the above table are calculated by determining the differences between the U.S. dollar amounts, or in case of foreign debt, the difference in U.S. amount of local currency debt for September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 converted at the exchange rate as of the two respective balance sheet dates. The net change on the above tables agrees to the change in debt that appears on the face of the Company’s balance sheet. |
The total change on the above tables differs significantly from the amounts that appear in the financing section of the Company’s Statement of Cash Flow. This occurs as the changes for Cash Flow statements are calculated in local currency and then converted to dollars at an average exchange rate. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is, therefore, isolated and are included in separate line on the cash flow statement.

Future availability under credit facilities
As stated above, the Company had cash of $20.6 million and approximately $24.4 million available to borrow under its credit facility at September 30, 2018. The Company also has marketable equity securities with market value of $5.3 million that have no restriction that would prevent their sale.
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 under the Company’s credit facilities. Additional funds can be advanced to the Italian operations provided that the funds come from the sales of the marketable equity security referenced above.
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.
40
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 accounts receivable and inventory would limit future borrowings. 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. With the current cash position and additional borrowing capacity, this presently is not viewed to be a significant concern.
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 significant acquisitions. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms.
Cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2017
Operating Activities - For the nine months of 2018, cash from operating activities decreased by $2.3 million compared to last year’s first nine months. The decrease reflected an increase in cash consumed for working capital to support higher revenues, partially offset by higher earnings. For the nine months of 2018, cash used by working capital was $8.6 million compared to $1.9 million of cash used for working capital in the first nine months of 2017 excluding cash provided by discontinued operations.
Investing Activities - Cash provided by investing activities was $6.4 million in the first nine months of 2018, included a $7.0 million in proceeds from the sale of 1,000,000 shares of ASV stock, compared to cash provided of $12.0 million in the same period a year ago which included a $12.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of its partial interest in ASV. Cash payments for plant, property and equipment were $0.6 million in the first nine months of 2018 compared to payments of $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2017.
Financing Activities - Cash provided by financing activities was $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 which included an investment from Tadano for $32.7 million. Cash from financing activities was an outflow of $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which included $5.1 million consumed by discontinued operations.
Related Party Transactions
See Note 17, Transactions between the Company and Related Parties, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s related party transactions.
Critical Accounting Policies
The existing guidance related to marketable equity securities first became relevant to the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. See Note 2 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which describes the Company’s policy related to marketable equity securities.
Additionally, the guidance that the FASB contained in ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” became effective for the first quarter of 2018. See Note 3 in in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which describes the Company’s policy related to revenue recognition following the adoption of ASU 2016-08.
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, 2017 for a discussion of the Company’s other critical accounting policies.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 2, New Accounting Standards, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of recently issued accounting standards.
41
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
CIBC has issued 2 standby letters of credit at September 30, 2018. The first standby letter of credit is $0.645 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 workmen’s 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 workmen’s compensation claims.
The Company has issued residual value guarantees to support a customer’s financing. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date if certain conditions are met by the customer. The Company has issued partially residual guarantees that have a maximum exposure of approximately $1.6 million. The Company, however, does not have any reason to believe that any exposure from such a guarantee is either probable or estimable at this time, as such no liability has been recorded.
See Note 16 – “Legal Proceedings and other Contingencies” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our guarantees.
Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company’s market risk disclosures have not materially changed since the 2017 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, 2017.
Item 4—Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of September 30, 2018. The Company’s evaluation has identified certain material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Based on the evaluation of these material weaknesses, the Company has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on a number of factors, including the completion of the Audit Committee’s internal investigation, our internal review that identified revisions to our previously issued financial statements, and efforts to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below we believe the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with GAAP.
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.
Internal Control and Disclosure Considerations
As previously described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 6, 2017, in 2016 the Company sold 39 cranes for total sales revenues of approximately $15 million to a single broker customer in a series of transactions (the “Transactions”) that were each structured as a customary “bill and hold” arrangement. The revenue for the Transactions was originally recognized in 2016. Ten of these units that were sold for an aggregate value of approximately $3 million were returned during 2016 (and were subsequently sold to other customers), such that for 2016, a net of 29 cranes were sold for approximately $12 million. In addition, the Company made various payments to the broker and its wholly-owned subsidiary that were expensed in 2016 and 2017. Furthermore, the debt taken on by the broker customer to purchase the cranes was effectively guaranteed by the Company pursuant to certain related agreements. In connection with its review of its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company became aware that the prior accounting treatment for the Transactions was not correct. Specifically, the Company has concluded that the relationship with the Broker and its wholly-owned subsidiary qualified as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) and should therefore have resulted in a different accounting treatment resulting in the debt of the VIE being reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has concluded that the revenue recognition criteria for 2016 sales were not met and payments to the Broker were not expenses of the Company. In addition, disclosures were incomplete.
42
In connection with the foregoing matters, on November 2, 2017, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with the Company’s management and UHY LLP, the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm, determined that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2016, year ended December 31, 2016 and quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such periods and together with all three, six and nine-month financial information contained therein (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”) could no longer be relied upon.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that there were deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that constitute material weaknesses, as defined by SEC regulations, at September 30, 2018, with respect to procedures for:
1. We did not maintain an adequate process for the intake of new contracts, customers and vendors, particularly for contracts involving unique transaction structures or unusual obligations on the part of the Company, to ensure that all contracts are appropriately reviewed and approved, and the associated financial reporting requirements associated with such contracts and transactions structures are properly identified and complied with in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
2. We did not maintain adequate entity-level controls with respect to ensuring adequate supporting documentation of journal entries and proper review and approval of journal entries and disbursements that were unusual in nature and of significant amounts.
3. We did not maintain an adequate review process with respect to the accounting of bill-and-hold transactions and ensure proper revenue recognition.
4. We did not maintain a formal and consistent policy for establishing inventory reserves for excess and obsolete inventory.
5. We did not maintain an adequate communication policy with respect to compliance with the Company’s Code of Ethics and availability of the Company’s whistleblower hotline to report compliance issues
Accordingly, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by SEC regulations, were not effective at September 30, 2018.
The information set forth in Note 16 (Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.
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, 2017.
Item 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
The Company’s credit agreement with CIBC directly restricts the Company’s ability to declare or pay dividends without CIBC’s consent. In addition, pursuant to the Company’s credit agreement with CIBC and other lenders, the Company must maintain as specified in the agreements certain fixed coverage ratios and debt to EBITDA ratios.
