In each region, certain marketing support functions for the Hyster® and Yale® brands are carried out by shared servicesshared-services teams. These activities include sales and service training, information systems support, product launch coordination, specialized sales material development, help desks, order entry, marketing strategy and field service support.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
The Company relies on a combination of trade secret protection, trademarks, copyrights, and patents to establish and protect the Company's proprietary rights. These intellectual property rights may not have commercial value or may not be sufficiently broad to protect the aspect of the Company's technology to which they relate or competitors may design around the patents. The Company is not materially dependent upon patents or patent protection; however, as materials handling equipment has become more technologically advanced, the Company and its competitors have increasingly sought patent protection for inventions incorporated into their respective products. The Company owns the Hyster®,Yale®, Maximal®, Bolzoni®, Auramo®, Meyer® and MeyerNuvera® trademarks and believes these trademarks are material to its business.
Nuvera relies on a combination of trade secret protection, trademarks, copyrights, and patents to establish and protect its proprietary rights. The Company believes these intellectual property rights are well suited for industrial mobility markets such as lift trucks. The integration of these technologies into commercial solutions will require significant cooperation between HYG and Nuvera product engineering and is a key to developing commercial value from this technology.
Distribution Network
The Company distributes lift trucks and attachments primarily through two channels: independent dealers and a National Accounts program.direct sales program to major customers. In addition, the Company distributes aftermarket parts and service for its lift trucks through its independent dealers. The Company’s end-user base is diverse and fragmented, including, among others, light and heavy manufacturers, trucking and automotive companies, rental companies, building materials and paper suppliers, lumber, metal products, warehouses, retailers, food distributors, container handling companies and U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies.

The National AccountsThis program focuses on large customers with centralized purchasing and geographically dispersed operations in multiple dealer territories. The National AccountsThis program accounted for 17%21%, 16% and 15%17% of new lift truck unit volume in 20162019, 20152018 and 20142017, respectively. The independent dealers support the National Accounts programthese major customers by providing aftermarket parts and service on a local basis. Dealers receive a commission for the support they provide in connection with National Accountsthese major customer sales and for the preparation and delivery of lift trucks to customer locations. In addition to selling new lift trucks, the National Accountsthis global accounts program markets services, including full maintenance leases and fleet management.
Financing of Sales
The Company is engaged in a joint venture with Wells Fargo Financial Leasing, Inc. (“WF”("WF") to provide dealer and customer financing of new lift trucks in the United States. The Company owns 20% of the joint venture entity, HYG Financial Services,
Inc. ("HYGFS"), and receives fees and remarketing profits under a joint venture agreement. ThisThe current agreement has a basean initial term of five yearsthrough December 2023 and automatically renews for additional one-year terms unless written notice is given by either party at least 180 days prior to termination. The expiration of the base term is December 2018. The Company accounts for its ownership of HYGFS using the equity method of accounting.
Under the joint venture agreement with HYGFS, the Company’s dealers and certain customers are extended credit for the purchase of lift trucks to be placed in the dealer’s floor plan inventory or the financing of lift trucks that are sold or leased to customers. For some of these arrangements, the Company provides recourse or repurchase obligations to HYGFS or to others. In substantially all of these transactions, a perfected security interest is maintained in the lift trucks financed, so that in the event of a default, the Company has the ability to foreclose ontake title to the leased propertyassets financed and sell it through the Hyster® or Yale® dealer network. Furthermore, the Company has established reserves for exposures under these agreements when required. In addition, the Company has an agreement with WF to limit its exposure to losses at certain eligible dealers. Under this agreement, losses related to guarantees for these certain eligible dealers are limited to 7.5% of their original loan balance. See Notes 1718 and 1819 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

As of December 31, 2016,2019, the Company expects substantially all of its backlog of unfilled orders placed with its manufacturing and assembly operations for new lift trucks to be sold during fiscal 2017.2020. Backlog represents unfilled lift truck orders placed with the Company’s manufacturing and assembly facilities from dealers and National Accountsdirect sales to customers. In general, unfilled orders may be canceled at any time prior to the time of sale; however, the Company can assess cancellation penalties on dealer orders within a certain period prior to initiating production. The dollar value of backlog is calculated using the current unit backlog and the forecasted average sales price per unit.
Key Suppliers and Raw Materials
At times, the Company has experienced significant increases in material costs, primarily as a result of global price increases in industrial metals, including steel, lead and copper and other commodity products, such as rubber, as a result of increased demand and limited supply. While the Company attempts to pass these increased costs along to its customers in the form of higher prices for its products, it may not be able to fully offset the increased costs of industrial metals and other commodities, due to overall market conditions and the lag time involved in implementing price increases for its products.
A significant raw material required by the Company's manufacturing operations is steel, which is generally purchased from steel producing companies in the geographic area near each of the Company's manufacturing facilities. The otherOther significant components for the Company's lift trucks are engines, axles, brakes, transmissions, batteries and chargers. These components are available from numerous sources in quantities sufficient to meetIn addition, the Company's requirements. The Company depends on a limited number of suppliers for some of the Company's crucial components, including diesel and gasoline engines, which are supplied by, among others, Power Solutions International, Inc., Kubota Corp., and Cummins Inc., drive-system components, which are supplied by, among others, Dana Corporation and ZF Company, and cast-iron counterweights used to counter balance some lift trucks, which are obtained from, among others, North Vernon Industry Corp. and Eagle Quest International Ltd. Some of these critical components are imported and subject to regulations, such as customary inspection by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as well as the Company's own internal controls and security procedures. The Company believes comparable alternativesWhile most components are available from numerous sources or in quantities sufficient to meet requirements, the Company has experienced shortages of key components for all suppliers.certain products, particularly in 2019, which has affected production levels.
Competition
The Company is one of the leaders in the lift truck industry with respect to market share in the Americas and worldwide. Competition in the materials handling industry is intense and is based primarily on strength and quality of dealers,distribution, brand loyalty, customer service, new lift truck sales prices, availability of products and aftermarket parts, comprehensive product line
offerings, product performance, product quality and features and the cost of ownership over the life of the lift truck. The Company competes with several global lift truck manufacturers that operate in all major markets, as well as other niche companies. The lift truck industry also competes with alternative methods of materials handling, including conveyor systems
and automated guided vehicles and systems.
The Company's aftermarket parts offerings compete with parts manufactured by other lift truck manufacturers, as well as companies that focus solely on the sale of generic parts.
The use of fuel-cell technology in industrial and commercial applications is a relatively new development. Companies implementing such technology face competitors that integrate more traditional energy technologies into their product lines, as well as competitors that have implemented or are implementing alternatives to traditional energy technologies, such as lithium batteries, fuel additives and other high efficiency or “renewable” technologies.
Cyclical Nature of Lift Truck Business
The Company’s lift truck business historically has been cyclical. Fluctuations in the rate of orders for lift trucks, attachments and fuel-cell technology reflect the capital investment decisions of the Company’s customers, which depend to a certain extent on the general level of economic activity in the various industries the lift truck customers serve. During economic downturns, customers tend to delay new lift truck and parts purchases. Consequently, the Company has experienced, and in the future may continue to experience, significant fluctuations in its revenues and net income.
Research and Development
The Company’s lift truck research and development capability is organized around four major engineering centers, allthat are coordinated on a global basis by the Company’s global executive administrative center.basis. Products are designed for each brand concurrently and generally each center is focused on the global requirements for a single product line. The Company’s counterbalanced development center, which has global design responsibility for several classes of lift trucks for a highly diverse customer base, is located in Fairview, Oregon. The Company’s big truck development center is located in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, adjacent to a dedicated global big truck assembly facility. Big trucks are primarily used in handling shipping containers and other specialized heavy lifting applications, including steel, concrete and energy-related industries. Warehouse trucks, which are primarily used in distribution applications, are designed based on regional differences in stacking and storage practices. The Company designs warehouse equipment for sale in the Americas market in Greenville, North Carolina, adjacent to the Americas manufacturing and assembly facility. The Company designs warehouse equipment for the European market in Masate, Italy, adjacent to its manufacturing and assembly facility for warehouse equipment. The Company also has an engineering Concept Center in the United Kingdom to support advanced design activities and an engineering office in India to support its global design activities for its four major engineering centers.
The Company’s lift truck engineering centers utilize a three-dimensional CAD/CAM system and are interconnected, with alleach of the Company’s manufacturing and assembly facilities and certain suppliers. This allows for collaboration in technical engineering designs and collaboration with these suppliers. Additionally, the Company solicits customer feedback throughout the design phase to improve product development efforts. The Company invested $74.1 million, $69.1 million
Development and $71.4 million on lift truck product and attachment design and development activitiesinnovation of attachments occurs in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.each of the Bolzoni manufacturing plants for the specific products produced in that location.
Nuvera has two research and development locations. In the U.S., Billerica, Massachusetts is the primary location for design, development and testing of all of Nuvera’s technologies, including the generation, compression, storagefuel-cell stacks and dispensing of hydrogen, in addition to fuel cells.engines. In Europe, the operations at San Donato, Italy are primarily focused on fuel-cell systems integration and testing. The Company invested $32.9 million and $19.2 million on product design and development activities at Nuvera in 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Sumitomo-NACCO Joint Venture
The Company has a 50% ownership interest in Sumitomo NACCO Forklift Co., Ltd. (“SN”("SN"), a limited liability company that was formed in 1970 primarily to manufacture and distribute Sumitomo-branded lift trucks in Japan and export Hyster®- and Yale®-branded lift trucks and related components and service parts outside of Japan. Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. owns the remaining 50% interest in SN. Each stockholder of SN is entitled to appoint directors representing 50% of the vote of SN’s board of directors. All matters related to policies and programs of operation, manufacturing and sales activities require mutual agreement between the Company and Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. prior to a vote of SN’s board of directors. As a result, the Company accounts for its ownership in SN using the equity method of accounting. The Company purchases Hyster®- and Yale®-branded lift trucks and related component and aftermarket parts from SN for sale outside of Japan under agreed-upon terms. The Company also contracts with SN for engineering design services on a cost plus basis and charges SN for technology used by SN but developed by the Company. During 20162019, SN sold approximately 6,3007,200 lift trucks.
Employees
As of January 31, 20172020, the Company had approximately 6,5007,900 employees. Certain employees in the Danville, Illinois parts depot operations are unionized. The Company’s contract with the Danville union expires in June 2018. Employees2021. All employees at the
Company's facilities in Berea, Kentucky; Sulligent, Alabama; and Greenville, North Carolinathe United States (other than the Danville, Illinois parts depot) are not represented by unions. In Brazil, all employees are represented by a union. The Company’s contracts with the Brazilian unions expire annually at which time salaries and certain benefits are negotiated for the following year. In Mexico, certain employees are unionized. The Company’s contract with the MexicoMexican union expires annually in March, at which time salaries are negotiated for the following year. Benefits in Mexico are negotiated every other year.
In Europe, certain employees in the Helsinki, Finland; Salzgitter, Germany; Craigavon, Northern Ireland; Masate, Italy; Piacenza, Italy; San Donato, Italy; and Nijmegen, the Netherlands facilities are unionized.represented by a union or a works council. All of the European employees are part of works councils thator employee forums, which perform a consultative role on business and employment matters.
The Company believes its current labor relations with both union and non-union employees are generally satisfactory. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to successfully renegotiate its union contracts without work stoppages or on acceptable terms. A prolonged work stoppage at a unionized facility could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.
Environmental Matters
The Company’s manufacturing operations are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the management and disposal of hazardous substances. The Company’s policies stress compliance, and the Company believes it is currently in substantial compliance with existing environmental laws. If the Company fails to comply with these laws or its environmental permits, it could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, fines and civil and criminal sanctions. In addition, future changes to environmental laws could require the Company to incur significant additional expense or restrict operations. Based on current information, the Company does not expect compliance with environmental requirements to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Company’s products may also be subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing vehicle exhaust. Regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe have issued or proposed various regulations and directives designed to reduce emissions from spark-ignited engines and diesel engines used in off-road vehicles, such as industrial lift trucks. These regulations require the Company and other lift truck manufacturers to incur costs to modify designs and manufacturing processes and to perform additional testing and reporting. While there can be no assurance, the Company believes the impact of the additional expenditures to comply with these requirements will not have a material adverse effect on its business.
The Company is investigating or remediating historical contamination at some current and former sites caused by its operations or those of businesses it acquired. While the Company is not currently aware that any material outstanding claims or obligations exist with regard to these sites, the discovery of additional contamination at these or other sites could result in significant cleanup costs that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial conditions and results of operations.
In connection with any acquisition made by the Company, the Company could, under some circumstances, be held financially liable for or suffer other adverse effects due to environmental violations or contamination caused by prior owners of businesses the Company has acquired. In addition, under some of the agreements through which the Company has sold businesses or assets, the Company has retained responsibility for certain contingent environmental liabilities arising from pre-closing operations. These liabilities may not arise, if at all, until years later and could require the Company to incur significant additional expenses.
Government and Trade Regulations
The Company has been impacted by ongoing trade disputes with China which has led to the imposition of tariffs resulting in higher material costs. In the past,addition, the Company’s business has been affected in the past by trade disputes between the United States and Europe. In the future, to the extent the Company is affected by trade disputes with other foreign jurisdictions, and increased tariffs are levied on its goods or the materials the Company purchases, its results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
The lift truck business is cyclical. Any downturn in the general economy could result in significant decreases in the Company's revenue and profitability and an inability to sustain or grow the business.
The Company's lift truck business historically has been cyclical. Fluctuations in the rate of orders for lift trucks, attachments and fuel-cell technology reflect the capital investment decisions of the Company's customers, which depend to a certain extent on the general level of economic activity in the various industries the lift truck customers serve. During economic downturns, customers tend to delay new lift truck and parts purchases. Consequently, the Company has experienced, and in the future may continue to
experience, significant fluctuations in revenues and net income. If there is a downturn in the general economy, or in the industries served by lift truck customers, the Company's revenue and profitability could decrease significantly, and the Company may not be able to sustain or grow the business.
The pricingCompany is subject to risks relating to its global operations.
The Company is a U.S.-based multinational corporation that has global operations. Operating globally subjects the Company to changes in government regulations and costspolicies in a large number of jurisdictions around the world, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers, investments, property ownership rights, taxation, and exchange controls. Changes in the relative values of currencies occur from time to time and could affect the Company's operating results.
Further, existing free trade laws and regulations provide certain beneficial duties and tariffs for qualifying imports and exports, subject to compliance with the applicable classification and other requirements. Changes in laws or policies governing the terms of international trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from countries where the Company manufactures products could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business and financial results.
Part of the strategy to expand worldwide market share is strengthening the Company's non-U.S. distribution network. A part of this strategy also includes decreasing costs by sourcing basic components in lower-cost countries. Implementation of this part of the strategy may increase the impact of the risks to global operations and there can be no assurance that such risks will not have an adverse effect on the Company's revenues, profitability or market share.
Economic and political conditions in the United States and abroad may lead to significant changes in tax rules and regulations. For example, Brexit and proposals to reform non-U.S. tax laws or other regulations could significantly impact how multinational corporations do business. Although the Company cannot predict the final form or impact of any regulation or other proposal, if adopted at all, such regulations and proposals could, if enacted, have a material adverse impact on the Company's profitability.
In addition, operating globally subjects the Company to risks related to the health and welfare of its employees and the employees of suppliers, as well as the workplaces where the Company’s products or critical components from suppliers are manufactured. Conditions resulting from natural disasters or global health epidemics or pandemics, including the Coronavirus, may prevent or delay the Company’s ability to obtain critical components or manufacture and sell the Company’s products. These disruptions could materially affect the Company’s operations and revenues and profitability could be significantly reduced.
The Company depends on a limited number of suppliers for specific critical components.
The Company depends on a limited number of suppliers for some of its critical components, including diesel, gasoline and alternative fuel engines and cast-iron counterweights used to counterbalance some lift trucks. Some of these critical components are imported and subject to regulation, primarily with respect to customary inspection of such products by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. While most components are available from numerous sources or in quantities sufficient to meet requirements, the Company has experienced shortages of key components for certain products, particularly in 2019, which has affected production levels. The results of operations have been and may continue tocould be impacted by currency fluctuations, which could materially increase costs, and result in material exchange losses and reduce operating margins.
Becauseadversely affected if the Company conducts transactions in various currencies, includingis unable to obtain these critical components, or if the euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, Swedish kroner and Mexican peso, lift truck pricing is subject to the effects of fluctuations in the valuecosts of these currenciescritical components were to increase significantly, due to regulatory compliance or otherwise, and fluctuations in the related currency exchange rates. As a result, the Company's sales have historically been affected by, and may continue to be affected by, these fluctuations. In addition, exchange rate movements between currencies in which the Company purchases materials and components and manufactures certain products andwas unable to pass the currencies in which the Company sells those products have been affected by and may continuecost increases on to result in exchange losses that could materially reduce operating margins. Furthermore, the Company's hedging contracts may not fully offset risks from changes in currency exchange rates.its customers.
The cost of raw materials used by the Company's products has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate, which could materially reduce the Company's profitability.
At times, the Company has experienced significant increases in materials costs, primarily as a result of global increases in industrial metals, including steel, lead and copper and other commodity prices, such as rubber, as a result of increased demand and limited supply. The Company manufactures products that include raw materials that consist of steel, rubber, copper, lead, castings and counterweights. The Company also purchases parts provided by suppliers that are manufactured from castings and steel or contain lead. The cost of these parts is affected by the same economic conditions that impact the cost of the parts the Company manufactures. The cost to manufacture lift trucks and related service parts has been and will continue to be affected by fluctuations in prices for these raw materials. If costs of these raw materials increase, the Company's profitability could be materially reduced.
The Company is subject to risks relating to its non-U.S. operations.
Non-U.S. operations represent a significant portion of the Company's business. The Company expects revenue from non-U.S. markets to continue to represent a significant portion of total revenue. The Company owns or leases manufacturing facilities in Brazil, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Finland, Germany and China, and owns interests in joint ventures with facilities in China, Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam. The Company also sells U.S. produced products to non-U.S. customers and sells non-U.S. produced products to U.S. customers. The Company's non-U.S. operations are subject to additional risks, which include:
potential political, economic and social instability in the non-U.S. countries in which the Company operates;
currency risks, including those risks set forth under, “The pricing and costs of the Company's products have been and may continue to be impacted by currency fluctuations, which could materially increase costs, and result in material exchange losses and reduce operating margins”;margins.
impositionBecause the Company conducts transactions in various currencies, including U.S. dollars, euros, Japanese yen, British pounds, Mexican pesos, Australian dollars, Swedish kroner, Brazilian real and Chinese renminbi, lift truck pricing is subject to the effects of or increasesfluctuations in the value of these currencies and fluctuations in the related currency exchange rates. As a result, the
Company's sales have historically been affected by, and may continue to be affected by, these fluctuations. In addition, exchange rate movements between currencies in which the Company purchases materials and components and manufactures certain products and the currencies in which the Company sells those products have been affected by and may continue to result in exchange losses that could materially reduce operating margins. Furthermore, the Company's hedging contracts may not fully offset risks from changes in currency exchange controls;
potential inflation in the applicable non-U.S. economies;
imposition of or increases in import duties and other tariffs on products;
imposition of or increases in non-U.S. taxation of earnings and withholding on payments received;
regulatory changes affecting non-U.S. operations; and
stringent labor regulations.
Part of the strategy to expand worldwide market share is strengthening the Company's non-U.S. distribution network. A part of this strategy also includes decreasing costs by sourcing basic components in lower-cost countries. Implementation of this part of the strategy may increase the impact of the risks described above and there can be no assurance that such risks will not have an adverse effect on the Company's revenues, profitability or market share.
The Company operates in various taxing jurisdictions around the world in which the tax laws, regulations and administrative practices are often subject to interpretation as well as to change. Although the Company has sought to reduce this uncertainty by obtaining rulings from the tax authorities in certain cases, the Company's positions may still be subject to challenge. If the Company were to become subject to a challenge, the outcome could have a significant negative effect on the Company's operating results and financial condition. Additionally, any challenge may unfavorably impact the Company's ability to obtain future rulings.
Economic and political conditions in the United States and abroad may lead to significant changes in tax rules and regulations and/or lead to the adoption of restrictions on international trade. For example, recent proposed measures to reform U.S. and non-U.S. tax laws could significantly impact how multinational corporations are taxed. Although the Company cannot predict the final form of any proposal, if adopted at all, such proposals could, if enacted, have a material adverse impact on the Company's profitability.rates.
The Company relies primarily on its network of independent dealers to sell lift trucks and aftermarket parts and the Company has no direct control over sales by those dealers to customers. Ineffective or poor performance by these independent dealers could result in a significant decrease in revenues and profitability and the inability to sustain or grow the business.
The Company relies primarily on independent dealers for sales of lift trucks and aftermarket parts. Sales of the Company's products are therefore subject to the quality and effectiveness of the dealers, who are not subject to the Company's direct control. As a result, ineffective or poorly performing dealers could result in a significant decrease in revenues and profitability and wethe Company may not be able to sustain or grow the Company'sits business.
The Company depends on a limited number of suppliers for specific critical components.
The Company depends on a limited number of suppliers for some of its critical components, including diesel, gasoline and alternative fuel engines and cast-iron counterweights used to counterbalance some lift trucks. Some of these critical components are imported and subject to regulation, primarily with respect to customary inspection of such products by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The results of operations could be adversely affected if the Company is unable to obtain these critical components, or if the costs of these critical components were to increase significantly, due to regulatory compliance or otherwise, and the Company was unable to pass the cost increases on to its customers.
If the Company's strategic initiatives, including the introduction of new products, do not prove effective, revenues, profitability and market share could be significantly reduced.
Changes in the timing of implementation of the Company's current strategic initiatives may result in a delay in the expected recognition of future costs and realization of future benefits. In addition, if future industry demand levels are lower than expected, the actual annual cost savings could be lower than expected. If the Company is unable to successfully implement these strategic initiatives, revenues, profitability and market share could be significantly reduced.
The Company may not be successful in commercializing Nuvera’s technology, which success would depend, in part, on the Company’s ability to protect Nuvera’s intellectual property.
The Company may not be able to commercialize Nuvera’s fuel-cell technologies on economically efficient terms. Unforeseen difficulties, such as delays in development due to design defects or changes in specifications and insufficient research and development resources or cost overruns, may hinder the Company’s ability to incorporate Nuvera’s technologies into its product lines on an economically favorable basis or at all.
Furthermore, Nuvera’s commercial success will depend largely on the Company’s ability to maintain patent and other intellectual property protection covering certain of Nuvera’s technologies. Nuvera’s fuel-cell technology may not be economically viable if the Company is unable to prevent others from infringing or successfully challenging the validity of certain patents and other intellectual property rights attributable to Nuvera.
Failure to compete effectively within the Company's industry could result in a significant decrease in revenues and profitability.
The Company experiences intense competition in the sale of lift trucks and aftermarket parts. Competition in the lift truck industry is based primarily on strength and quality of dealers, brand loyalty, customer service, new lift truck sales prices, availability of products and aftermarket parts, comprehensive product line offerings, product performance, product quality and features and the cost of ownership over the life of the lift truck. The Company competes with several global manufacturers that operate in all major markets. These manufacturers may have lower manufacturing costs and greater financial resources than the Company, which may enable them to commit larger amounts of capital in response to changing market conditions. If the Company fails to compete effectively, revenues and profitability could be significantly reduced.
If the global capital goods market declines, the cost saving efforts the Company has implemented may not be sufficient to achieve the benefits expected.
If the global economy or the capital goods market declines, revenues could decline. If revenues are lower than expected, the programs the Company has implemented may not achieve the benefits expected. Furthermore, the Company may be forced to take additional cost saving steps that could result in additional charges that materially adversely affect the ability to compete or implement the Company's current business strategies.
The Company is subject to import and export controls, which could subject the Company to liability or impair the Company's ability to compete in international markets.
Due to the international scope of the Company's operations, the Company is subject to a complex system of import- and export-related laws and regulations, including U.S. export control and customs regulations and customs regulations of other countries. These regulations are complex and vary among the legal jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Obtaining the necessary authorizations, including any required license, for a particular transaction may be time-consuming, is not guaranteed, and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. Furthermore, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions laws prohibit certain transactions with U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, persons and entities. Any alleged or actual
failure to comply with such laws and regulations may subject the Company to government scrutiny, investigation, and civil and criminal penalties, and may limit the Company's ability to import or export products or to provide services outside the United States. Depending on severity, any of these penalties could have a material impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that laws and regulations will not be changed in ways which will require the Company to modify its business models and objectives or affect the Company's returns on investments by restricting existing activities and products, subjecting them to escalating costs or prohibiting them outright.
The Company is subject to recourse or repurchase obligations with respect to the financing arrangements of some of its customers.
Through arrangements with WF and others, dealers and other customers are provided financing for new lift trucks in the United States and in major countries of the world outside of the United States. Through these arrangements, the Company's dealers and certain customers are extended credit for the purchase of lift trucks to be placed in the dealer’s floor plan inventory or the financing of lift trucks that are sold or leased to customers. For some of these arrangements, the Company provides recourse or repurchase obligations such that it would become obligated in the event of default by the dealer or customer. Total amounts subject to these types of obligations were $179.7 million and $192.7 million at December 31, 20162019 and 2015 were $149.3 million and $179.8 million,2018, respectively. Generally, the Company maintains a perfected security interest in the assets financed such that, in the event that the Company becomes obligated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations, it may take title to the assets financed. The Company cannot be certain, however, that the security interest will equal or exceed the amount of the recourse or repurchase obligations. In addition, the Company cannot be certain that losses under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations will not exceed the reserves that have been set aside in the consolidated financial statements. The Company could incur a charge to earnings if reserves prove to be inadequate, which could have a material adverse effect on results of operations and liquidity for the period in which the charge is taken.
Actual liabilities relating to pending lawsuits may exceed the Company's expectations.
The Company is a defendant in pending lawsuits involving, among other things, product liability claims. The Company cannot be sure that it will succeed in defending these claims, that judgments will not be rendered against the Company with respect to any or all of these proceedings or that reserves set aside or insurance policies will be adequate to cover any such judgments. The Company could incur a charge to earnings if reserves prove to be inadequate or the average cost per claim or the number of claims exceed estimates, which could have a material adverse effect on results of operations and liquidity for the period in which the charge is taken and any judgment or settlement amount is paid.
Other products may be introduced to the market by competitors, making the Nuvera technology less marketable.
The use of fuel-cell technology in industrial and commercial applications is a relatively new development. Companies implementing such technology face competition from competitors that integrate more traditional energy technologies into their product lines, as well as competitors that have implemented or are implementing alternatives to traditional energy technologies, such as lithiumlithium-ion batteries, fuel additives and other high efficiency or “renewable” technologies. Any of these technologies may have more established or otherwise more attractive manufacturing, distribution and operating cost features, which could negatively impact customers’ preferences for product lines that incorporate fuel-cell technology and, as a result, diminish the marketability of products incorporating Nuvera technology.
The Company may not be successful in commercializing Nuvera’s technology, which success would depend, in part, on the Company’s ability to protect Nuvera’s intellectual property.
The success of the acquisition of Nuvera will depend largely on the Company’s ability to commercialize Nuvera’s fuel-cell technologies, such that the Company may incorporate these technologies in its product lines on economically efficient terms. However, unforeseen difficulties, such as delays in development due to design defects or changes in specifications and insufficient research and development resources or cost overruns, may hinder the Company’s ability to incorporate Nuvera’s technologies into its product lines on an economically favorable basis or at all.
Furthermore, Nuvera’s commercial success will depend largely on the Company’s ability to maintain patent and other intellectual property protection covering certain of Nuvera’s technologies. Nuvera’s fuel-cell technology may not be economically viable if the Company is unable to prevent others from infringing or successfully challenging the validity of certain patents and other intellectual property rights attributable to Nuvera.
Actual liabilities relating to environmental matters may exceed the Company's expectations.
The Company's manufacturing operations are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the management and disposal of hazardous substances. If the Company fails to comply with these laws or the Company's environmental permits, then the Company could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, fines and civil and criminal sanctions. In addition, future changes to environmental laws could require the Company to incur significant additional expenses or restrict operations.
The Company's products may also be subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing vehicle exhausts. Regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe have issued or proposed various regulations and directives designed to reduce emissions from spark-ignited engines and diesel engines used in off-road
vehicles, such as industrial lift trucks. These regulations require the Company and other lift truck manufacturers to incur costs to modify designs and manufacturing processes and to perform additional testing and reporting.
The Company is investigating or remediating historical contamination at some current and former sites caused by its operations or those of businesses it acquired. While the Company is not currently aware that any material outstanding claims or obligations exist with regard to these sites, the discovery of additional contamination at these or other sites could result in significant cleanup costs that could have a material adverse effect on itsthe Company's financial condition and results of operations.
In connection with any acquisition the Company has made, it could, under some circumstances, be held financially liable for or suffer other adverse effects due to environmental violations or contamination caused by prior owners of businesses the Company has acquired. In addition, under some of the agreements through which the Company has sold businesses or assets, it has retained responsibility for certain contingent environmental liabilities arising from pre-closing operations. These liabilities may not arise, if at all, until years later and could require the Company to incur significant additional expenses, which could materially adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition.
The Company may be unable to protect its information technology infrastructure against service interruptions, data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network breaches, which have in the past and could in the future disrupt business operations or result in a loss of data confidentiality.
The Company relies on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities, including supply chain, manufacturing, distributing, invoicing and collection. The Company uses information technology systems to record, process and summarize financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with regulatory financial reporting, legal and tax requirements. These technological networks and systems have been and may in the future be susceptible to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software, databases or components; power outages; hardware failures; or computer viruses or other types of cyber attacks. In addition, security breaches could result in unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. If these information technology systems suffer severe damage, disruption, breach, or shutdown, and business continuity plans do not effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, there could be a negative impact on operating results or the Company may suffer financial or reputational damage.
The Company may become subject to claims under non-U.S. laws and regulations, which may require expensive, time consumingtime-consuming and distracting litigation.
Because the Company has employees, property and business operations outside of the United States, it is subject to the laws and the court systems of many jurisdictions. The Company may become subject to claims outside the United States based in non-U.S. jurisdictions for violations of their laws with respect to the Company's non-U.S. operations. In addition, these laws may be changed or new laws may be enacted in the future. Non-U.S. litigation is often expensive, time consuming and distracting. As a result, any of these risks could significantly reduce profitability and the Company's ability to operate its businesses effectively.
The Company may be subject to riskrisks relating to increasing cash requirements of certain employee benefitsbenefit plans which may affect its financial position.
The expenses recorded for, and cash contributions required to be made to, the Company's defined benefit pension plans are dependent on changes in market interest rates and the value of plan assets, which are dependent on actual investment returns. Significant changes in market interest rates, decreases in the value of plan assets or investment losses on plan assets may require the Company to increase the cash contributed to defined benefit plans which may affect its financial position.
The Company is dependent on key personnel, and the loss of these key personnel could significantly reduce profitability.
The Company is highly dependent on the skills, experience and services of key personnel, and the loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. Employment and retention of qualified personnel is important to the successful conduct of the Company's business. Therefore, the Company's success also depends upon its ability to recruit, hire, train and retain additional skilled and experienced management personnel. The Company's inability to hire and retain personnel with the requisite skills could impair its ability to manage and operate its business effectively and could significantly reduce profitability.
Certain members of the Company’s extended founding family own a substantial amount of its Class A and Class B common stock and, if they were to act in concert, could control the outcome of director elections and other stockholder votes on significant corporate actions.
The Company has two classes of common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to cast one vote per share and, as of December 31, 2016,2019, accounted for approximately 2425 percent of the voting power of the Company. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to cast ten votes per share and, as of December 31, 2016,2018, accounted for the remaining voting power of the Company. As of December 31, 2016,2019, certain members of the Company’s extended founding family held approximately 2731 percent of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and approximately 8485 percent of the Company’s outstanding Class B common stock. On the basis of this common stock ownership, certain members of the Company’s extended founding family could have exercised 7072 percent of the Company’s total voting power. Although there is no voting agreement among such extended family members, in writing or otherwise, if they were to act in concert, they could control the outcome of director elections and other stockholder votes on significant corporate actions, such as certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and salessale of the Company or
substantially all of its assets. Because certain members of the Company’s extended founding family could prevent other stockholders from exercising significant influence over significant corporate actions, the Company may be a less attractive takeover target, which could adversely affect the market price of its common stock.

The Company operates Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC ("Nuvera"). Nuvera is an alternative-power technology company focused on Form 10-K for further discussion.the design, manufacture and sale of hydrogen fuel-cell stacks and engines.
Competition in the materials handling industry is intense and is based primarily on strength and quality of distribution, brand loyalty, customer service, new lift truck sales prices, availability of products and aftermarket parts, comprehensive product line offerings, product performance, product quality and features and the cost of ownership over the life of the lift truck. The Company competes with several global lift truck manufacturers that operate in all major markets, as well as other niche companies. The lift truck industry also competes with alternative methods of materials handling, including conveyor systems and automated guided vehicle systems. The Company's aftermarket parts offerings compete with parts manufactured by other lift truck manufacturers, as well as companies that focus solely on the sale of generic parts.
The Company's mission is to be a leading, globally integrated designer, manufacturer and marketer of a complete range of lift-truck solutions by leveraging its high-quality, application-tailored lift trucks, attachments and power solutions thatto offer the lowest cost of ownership and the best overall value.

HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share, Percentage Data and as Otherwise Noted)
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, if any. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience, actuarial valuations and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The Company believes the following are critical accounting policies affect the morepolicies. Certain of these are critical accounting estimates as they require significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition: RevenuesLong-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets: Net property, plant and equipment, right-of-use ("ROU") assets, goodwill and net intangible assets at December 31, 2019 were $308.5 million, $76.2 million, $106.7 million and $60.1 million, respectively. The Company makes estimates and assumptions in preparing the consolidated financial statements for which actual results will emerge over long periods of time. This includes the recoverability of long-lived assets employed in the business, including assets of acquired businesses. These estimates and assumptions are closely monitored and periodically adjusted as circumstances warrant. For instance, expected asset lives may be shortened or an impairment recorded based on a change in the expected use of the asset or performance of the related asset group.
The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment when changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon identification of indicators of impairment, assets and liabilities are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or liabilities. The asset group would be considered impaired when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset group are less than carrying value. If the carrying value of an asset group is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount that the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value. Fair value is estimated as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The determination of asset groups and the underlying cash flows requires the use of significant judgment.
The Company has intangible assets, including customer and contractual relationships, patents and technology, and trademarks. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over a period ranging from one to twenty years on a systematic and rational basis (generally straight line) that is representative of the asset’s use. Costs related to internally developed intangible assets, such as patents, are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Intangible assets with an indefinite life, including certain trademarks, are not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, and are tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the fair value is less than the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset.
Of the $60.1 million of net intangible assets, $16.9 million relates to indefinite-lived trademarks, related to the acquisition of Bolzoni. The primary valuation technique used in estimating the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is the present value of discounted cash flows. Specifically, a relief of royalty rate is applied to estimated sales, with the resulting amounts discounted using an appropriate discount rate of a market participant. The relief of royalty rate is the estimated royalty rate a market participant would pay to acquire the right to market and produce the product. If the resulting discounted cash flows are less than book value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset, an impairment exists and the asset would be adjusted to fair value. Based on impairment testing as of May 1, 2019, no impairment was identified.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of May 1 and is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. The Company completed the annual testing of impairment of goodwill as of May 1, 2019 at the reporting unit level for the related goodwill. The Company uses either a qualitative or quantitative analysis to determine whether fair value exceeds carrying value. An estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is determined through a combination of comparable market values for similar businesses and discounted cash flows. These estimates can change significantly based uponon such factors as the termsreporting unit's financial performance, economic

conditions, interest rates, growth rates, pricing, changes in business strategies and competition. Based on this testing, the fair value of contracts with customers,each reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value and no impairment exists.
Factors which is generally when title transferscould result in future impairment charges include, but are not limited to, changes in worldwide economic conditions, changes in competitive conditions and customer preferences. These risk factors are discussed in Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of loss passes as customer orders are completedthis Form 10-K. In addition, changes in the weighted average cost of capital could also impact impairment testing results. The Company will continue to monitor its reporting units and shipped. For the Company's National Account customers, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance. National Account customers are large customers with centralized purchasing and geographically dispersed operations in multiple dealer territories. Reservesasset groups for discounts and returns are maintained for anticipated future claims. The accounting policies used to develop these product discounts and returns include:any indicators of impairment.
Product discountsliabilities: The Company recordsprovides for the estimated reductionscost of personal and property damage relating to revenuesits products based on a review of historical experience and consideration of any known trends. Reserves are recorded for estimates of the costs for known claims and estimates of the costs of incidents that have occurred but for which a claim has not yet been reported, up to the stop-loss insurance coverage. While the Company engages in extensive product quality reviews and customer education programs, the product liability provision is affected by the number and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, price competition, promotionsmagnitude of claims of alleged product-related injury and other volume-based incentives. Lift truck sales revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts. The estimated discount amount is based upon historical trends for each lift truck model.property damage and the cost to defend those claims. In addition, to standard discounts, dealers can also request additional discounts that allow them to offer price concessions to customers. From time to time, the Company offers special incentives to increase market share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative levelestimates regarding the magnitude of purchases is obtained. If estimates of customer programs and incentives were one percent higher than the levels offered during 2016, the reserves for product discounts would increase and revenue would be reduced by $0.2 million. The Company's past results of operations have not been materiallyclaims are affected by changes in assumptions regarding medical costs, inflation rates and trends in damages awarded by juries. Changes in the assumptions regarding any one of these factors could result in a change in the estimate of the magnitude of claims. A one percent increase in the estimate of the number of claims or the magnitude of claims would increase the product discountsliability reserve and althoughreduce operating profit by approximately $0.1 million to $0.5 million. Although there can be no assurances, the Company is not aware of any circumstances that would be reasonably likely to materially change itsthe estimates in the future.
Product returnsSelf-insurance liabilities: Products generally are not sold with the right of return with the exception of a small percentage of aftermarket parts. Based on historical experience, a portion of these aftermarket parts are estimated to be returned which, subject to certain terms and conditions, the Company will agree to accept. The Company recordsis generally self-insured for product liability, environmental liability and medical and workers’ compensation claims. For product liability, catastrophic insurance coverage is retained for potentially significant individual claims. The Company also has insurance for certain historic product liability claims. An estimated reductions to revenues atprovision for claims reported and for claims incurred but not yet reported under the time of saleself-insurance programs is recorded and revised periodically based on thisindustry trends, historical experience and the limited right of return providedmanagement judgment. In addition, industry trends are considered within management’s judgment for valuing claims. Changes in assumptions for such matters as legal judgments and settlements, legal defense costs, inflation rates, medical costs and actual experience could cause estimates to certain customers. If future trends were to change significantly from those experienced in the past, incremental reductions to revenues may result based on this new experience. If the estimate of average return rates for these aftermarket parts were to increase by one percent over historical levels, the reserves for product returns would increase and revenues would be reduced by less than $0.1 million. The Company's past results of operations have not been materially affected by a change in the estimatenear term. Changes in any of product returns and although there can be no assurances, the Company is not aware of any circumstances that would be reasonably likely tothese factors could materially change itsthe estimates for these self-insurance obligations causing a related increase or decrease in reported net operating results in the future.period of change in the estimate.
Product warranties: The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenues are recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, the warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, labor costs and replacement component costs incurred in correcting a product failure. If actual product failure rates, labor costs or replacement component costs differ from the Company's estimates, which are based on historical failure rates and consideration of known trends, revisions to the estimate of the cost to correct product failures would be required. If the estimate of the cost to correct product failures were to increase by one percent over 20162019 levels, the reserves for product warranties would increase and additional expense of $0.3 million would be incurred. The Company's past results of operations have not been materially affected by a change in the estimate of product warranties and although there can be no assurances, the Company is not aware of any circumstances that would be reasonably likely to materially change the estimates in the future.
Retirement benefit plansRevenue recognition: Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied which occurs when control of products or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The satisfaction of performance obligations under the terms of a revenue contract generally gives rise for the right to payment from the customer. The Company's standard payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. Generally, the time between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. Given the insignificant days between revenue recognition and receipt of payment, financing components do not exist between the Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits basedand its customers. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The estimated costs of product warranties are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 16 for further information on yearsproduct warranties.
The majority of the Company's sales contracts contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when title and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer.

For contracts with customers that include multiple performance obligations, judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations specified in these contracts are distinct and should be accounted for as separate revenue transactions for recognition purposes. For such arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin. Impairment losses recognized on receivables or contract assets were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are reported on the line "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company pays for shipping and handling activities regardless of when control is transferred and has elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good, rather than a promised service. These costs are reported on the line “Cost of sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Retirement benefit plans:The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits based on years of service and average compensation during certain periods. Pension benefits are frozen for all employees other than certain employees in the Netherlands. All other eligible employees, including employees whose pension benefits are frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans. The Company's policy is to periodically make contributions to fund the defined benefit pension plans within the range allowed by applicable regulations. The defined benefit pension plan assets consist primarily of publicly traded stocks and government and corporate bonds. There is no guarantee the actual return on the plans’ assets will equal the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets or that the plans will not incur investment losses.
The expected long-term rate of return on defined benefit plan assets reflects management’s expectations of long-term rates of return on funds invested to provide for benefits included in the projected benefit obligations. In establishing the expected long-term rate of return assumption for plan assets, the Company considers the historical rates of return over a period of time that is consistent with the long-term nature of the underlying obligations of these plans as well as a forward-looking rate of return. The historical and forward-looking rates of return for each of the asset classes used to determine the Company's estimated rate of return assumption were based upon the rates of return earned or expected to be earned by investments in the equivalent benchmark market indices for each of the asset classes.
Expected returns for most of the Company's pension plans are based on a calculated market-related value of assets. Under this methodology, asset gains and losses resulting from actual returns that differ from expected returns are recognized in the market-related value of assets ratably over three years.
The basis for the selection of the discount rate for each plan is determined by matching the timing of the payment of the expected obligations under the defined benefit plans against the corresponding yield of high-quality corporate bonds of equivalent maturities.
The following illustrates the sensitivity of the net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligation to a 1% change in the discount rate or return on plan assets (in millions):
|
| | | | | | |
| Assumption | | Change | | Increase (decrease) 2017 net pension expense | | Increase (decrease) 2016 projected benefit obligation |
| Discount rate | | 1% increase | | $0.3 | | $(29.4) |
| | | 1% decrease | | (0.3) | | 35.1 |
| Return on plan assets | | 1% increase | | (1.9) | | N/A |
| | | 1% decrease | | 1.9 | | N/A |
|
| | | | | | |
| Assumption | | Change | | Increase (decrease) 2020 net pension expense | | Increase (decrease) 2019 projected benefit obligation |
| Discount rate | | 1% increase | | $(0.2) | | $(31.8) |
| | | 1% decrease | | 0.5 | | 36.3 |
| Return on plan assets | | 1% increase | | (2.2) | | N/A |
| | | 1% decrease | | 2.2 | | N/A |
A change in life expectancy by one year would result in a $7.7 million change in the 2019 projected benefit obligation.
See Note 910 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the retirement benefit plans.
Goodwill and intangible assets: The Company has goodwill and intangible assets including customer and contractual relationships, patents and technology, and trademarks. The Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of May 1st and between annual evaluations if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate potential impairment. The Company uses either a qualitative or quantitative analysis to determine whether fair value exceeds carrying value. Goodwill impairment testing for 2016 was performed using a qualitative analysis by assessing certain trends and factors, including projected market outlook and growth rates, forecasted and actual sales and operating profit margins, discount rates, industry data and other relevant qualitative factors. Indefinite lived intangible asset testing was performed for 2016 using a qualitative analysis.
Product liabilities: The Company provides for the estimated cost of personal and property damage relating to its products based on a review of historical experience and consideration of any known trends. Reserves are recorded for estimates of the costs for known claims and estimates of the costs of incidents that have occurred but for which a claim has not yet been reported to us, up to the stop-loss insurance coverage. While the Company engages in extensive product quality reviews and customer education programs, the product liability provision is affected by the number and magnitude of claims of alleged product-related injury and property damage and the cost to defend those claims. In addition, the estimates regarding the magnitude of claims are affected by changes in assumptions regarding medical costs, inflation rates and trends in damages awarded by juries. Changes in the assumptions regarding any one of these factors could result in a change in the estimate of the magnitude of claims. A one percent increase in the estimate of the number of claims or the magnitude of claims would increase the product liability reserve and reduce operating profit by approximately $0.2 million. Although there can be no

assurances, the Company is not aware of any circumstances that would be reasonably likely to materially change the estimates in the future.
Self-insurance liabilities: The Company is generally self-insured for product liability, environmental liability and medical and workers’ compensation claims. For product liability, catastrophic insurance coverage is retained for potentially significant individual claims. An estimated provision for claims reported and for claims incurred but not yet reported under the self-insurance programs is recorded and revised periodically based on industry trends, historical experience and management judgment. In addition, industry trends are considered within management’s judgment for valuing claims. Changes in assumptions for such matters as legal judgments and settlements, legal defense costs, inflation rates, medical costs and actual experience could cause estimates to change in the near term. Changes in any of these factors could materially change the estimates for these self-insurance obligations causing a related increase or decrease in reported net operating results in the period of change in the estimate.
Deferred tax valuation allowances: The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. A valuation allowance has been provided against certain deferred tax assets related to non-U.S. and U.S. state jurisdictions including net operating and capital loss carryforwards. Management believes the valuation allowances are adequate after considering future taxable income, allowable carryback and carryforward periods, reversing taxable temporary differences and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount (including the valuation allowance), an adjustment to the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made. Conversely, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be expensed in the period such determination was made. See "Financial Review - Income Taxes" and Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the Company's income taxes.
Inventory reserves: The Company writes down inventory to the lower of cost or market, which includes an estimate for obsolescence or excess inventory based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Upon a subsequent sale or disposal of the impaired inventory, the corresponding reserve for impaired value is relieved to ensure that the cost basis of the inventory reflects any write-downs. An impairment in value of one percent of net inventories would result in additional expense of approximately $3.5 million.
Allowances for doubtful accounts: The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as general trends of the entire customer pool. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. An impairment in value of one percent of net accounts receivable would require an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts and would result in additional expense of approximately $3.8 million.

Revenues increased 3.5% to $3,291.8 million in 2019 from $3,179.1 million in 2018. The increase was mainly due to improved pricing to offset material cost increases and tariffs, increased other revenue related to higher sales of attachments and the acquisition of Hyster-Yale Maximal. These items were partially offset by unfavorable currency movements from the translation of sales into U.S. dollars.
Revenues in the Americas increased in 2019 compared with 2018 primarily as a result of improved pricing, increased other revenue related to higher sales of attachments and higher parts sales. The higher pricing was implemented to offset material cost increases and tariffs.

Revenues decreased slightly to $2,569.7 million in 2016 from $2,578.1 million in 2015. The decrease in the lift truck business was mainly due to lower unit volumes, the unfavorable effect of deal-specific selling prices and a shift in sales to lower-priced lift trucks during 2016 compared with 2015. Revenues at non-U.S. locations were also unfavorably affected by the strong U.S. dollar during 2016 compared with 2015. The decline in lift truck revenue was partially offset by Bolzoni revenues since the acquisition on April 1, 2016.
Revenues in the Americas declined in 2016 from 2015JAPIC increased primarily as a result of the reduction in unit shipmentsa full year of Hyster-Yale Maximal revenues during 2019 and the unfavorable effect of deal-specific pricing in North America. In addition, unfavorable currency movements of $4.4 million from the translation of Brazilian sales into U.S. dollars, which strengthened against the Brazilian real, contributedonly seven months subsequent to the declineacquisition date in revenues.
EMEA's revenues increased in 2016 from 2015 mainly as a result of higher lift truck volumes,2018. This was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency movements of $15.5$6.3 million from the translation of sales into U.S. dollars.

Nuvera's revenues decreased in 20162019 compared with 2015.to 2018 primarily as a result of revenue recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018 which had previously been deferred related to battery box replacement ("BBRs"). For periods prior to the fourth quarter of 2018, Nuvera deferred revenue on its BBRs because of an inability to estimate future costs, including warranty. The Company established a warranty reserve and began recognizing revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily the result of fewer unit shipments, the unfavorable effect of lower pricing of trucks and a shiftpartially offset by an increase in sales to lower-priced products in 2016 compareddevelopment funding received associated with 2015.third-party development agreements.

Operating profit in the Americas increased in 2019 compared with 2018 primarily as a result of higher gross profit partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. GrossThe increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to improved pricing. These increases were offset by unfavorable foreign currency movements, higher material cost from aluminum and steel tariffs, partially offset by $11.8 million of favorable retroactive tariff exclusion adjustments for direct imports and from suppliers for certain components imported from China, higher manufacturing costs, a shift in sales to lower-margin trucks and lower unit sales volume. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly from higher sales and product development costs to support the Company's strategic initiatives, increased employee-related expenses and higher product liability expense, partially offset by the absence of Maximal acquisition-related costs incurred in 2018.
EMEA's operating profit increased in 2019 compared with 2018 primarily as a result of higher gross profit due to price increases, net of higher material costs. The increase was partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses primarily to support the business and its strategic initiatives and unfavorable foreign currency movements.
The operating loss in JAPIC decreased slightly mainly due to a full year of Hyster-Yale Maximal gross profit during 2019 compared with only seven months subsequent to the acquisition date in 2018, which included $4.0 million of unfavorable one-time purchase accounting adjustments made in the third quarter of 2018 associated with the acquisition.
Bolzoni's operating profit decreased mainly as a result of $2.5 million of restructuring costs in 2019 related to the unfavorable effecttransfer of lower pricing, reduced sales volumes, which ledBolzoni's North America attachment manufacturing to higher manufacturing variances,Sulligent, Alabama and unfavorable foreign currency movements of $15.9 millionmovements. The restructuring costs include plant rearrangement, changes to information technology infrastructure and increased U.S. health care costs. The decrease in gross profit was partially offset by continued material cost deflation of $28.6 million during 2016severance expenses.
Nuvera's operating loss decreased compared with 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in 2016 compared with 2015 mainly due to acquisition-related costs of $6.6 million, higher product development and marketing-related expenses, and increased U.S. health care costs. Favorable foreign currency movements of $5.5 million and lower incentive compensation estimates partially offset the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Operating profit in the Americas decreased in 2016 compared with 2015 primarily as a result of higher selling, general and administrative expenses mainly from $6.6 million of acquisition-related costs, increased marketing-related expenses, a $3.1 million estimated loss on recovery of assets for recourse obligations, increased product development expenses and increased U.S. health care costs. Gross profit also decreased primarily as a result of the effect of lower product pricing, reduced sales volumes, which led to higher manufacturing variances, and increased U.S. health care costs. The decrease in gross profit was partially offset by continued material cost deflation of $20.5 million and favorable foreign currency movements of $8.3 million during 2016 compared with 2015.

The operating loss in JAPIC increased in 2016 compared with 2015 mainly as a result of lower gross profit from unfavorable currency movements of $3.9 million and lower product pricing.
Nuvera's operating loss increased in 2016 from 2015 primarily due to an increase of $13.7 million in development and production start-up expenses, including unfavorable inventory adjustments to reflect current selling prices. Nuvera's costs associated with producing prototype and early production components at low volumes also contributed to the higher development expenses during 2016. In addition, Nuvera had increased marketing and employee-related costs as it continues transitioning from product development to commercialization and production.
The Company recognized net income attributable to stockholders of $42.8$35.8 million in 20162019 compared with $74.7$34.7 million in 2015.2018. The decreaseincrease was primarily the result of the decreasehigher operating profit and favorable mark-to-market adjustments on an equity investment in operating profit,a third-party. These items were partially offset by a decreasethe absence of favorable tax adjustments related to the Tax Reform Act in the reported income tax rate in 20162018 and higher interest expense from higher borrowing levels during 2019 compared with 2015.2018.

The Company recognized operating profit of $103.5$38.8 million in 20152018 compared with $74.1 million in 2017. The decrease in operating profit of $148.8 millionwas mainly due to an increase in 2014. Operating profit for 2015 included the results of Nuvera's operations. In addition, operating profit for 2014 included a gain of $17.7 millionlift truck selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to the saleemployee-related costs for sales and development of the Brazil real estatenew products and operating facility and $3.1 million of costs related to the acquisition of NuveraMaximal in December 2014.2018. Lift truck gross profit decreased mainly as a result of higher material and manufacturing costs, partially offset by improved pricing and higher unit and parts shipments in 2018.
Operating profit in the Americas decreased primarily as a result of lower gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. The decrease in gross profit was mainly due to material and freight cost inflation and tariffs, net of price increases. The Americas implemented price increases during the first half of the year to offset higher than planned material cost inflation and aluminum and steel tariffs. However, operating results continue to reflect the lag of a $25.7 million shortfall in 2018 between fully realizing those price increases and when the tariffs and material cost increases were first realized. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly from higher employee-related costs for sales and development of new products, as well as higher acquisition-related expenses.
EMEA's operating profit was flat due to higher gross profit from favorable currency movements of $12.3 million and improved pricing, which was partially offset by higher material and manufacturing cost inflation. The increase in gross profit was offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, including $2.6 million of unfavorable foreign currency movements and higher sales costs to support the Company's strategic initiatives.
The operating loss in JAPIC increased mainly as a result of increased selling, general and administrative expenses primarily from expenses incurred at Maximal since the date of acquisition and higher sales costs to support the Company's strategic initiatives.
Bolzoni's operating profit of the lift truck business decreasedimproved primarily due to lowerhigher gross profit, partially offset by lowerhigher selling, general and administrative expenses. Gross profit
Nuvera's operating loss decreased primarilyin 2018 from unfavorable foreign currency movements of $21.4 million, unfavorable manufacturing variances and lower volumes partially offset by material cost deflation and price increases in 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased2017 primarily due to foreign currency movements of $15.0 millionhigher product development funding from third-party customers and lower employee-related costs, partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense.
Excluding the gain of $17.7 million related to the saleabsence of the Brazil real estate and operating facility, both gross profit and operating profit in the Americas improved in 2015 compared with the prior year. Gross profit was favorably impacted by material cost deflation and the effect2017 impairment charge of price increases announced earlier in 2015 in North America and price increases in Brazil to offset the impact of the weak Brazilian real. In addition, favorable foreign currency movements of $2.8$4.9 million improved gross profit during 2015. The overall improvement in the Americas gross profiton Nuvera's long-lived assets. This was partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing variances, mainly due to the transition from the old plant to the new plant in Brazilhigher development and weather-related U.S. plant shutdowns during the first quarter of 2015, as well as lower volumes and a shift in sales to lower-margin lift trucks. Selling, general and administrativeproduction start-up expenses decreased primarily due to lower employee-related costs and favorable currency movements of $4.2 million. These improvements were partially offset by $2.2 million of expense incurred during 2015, primarily as a result of the move to the new Brazil plant.for its third-party development agreements.
The effect of currency movements significantly reduced EMEA's operating profit in 2015 compared with 2014. Benefits realized in gross profit from higher shipments and material cost deflation were more than offset by unfavorable currency movements of $24.0 million. The decline in EMEA's gross profit was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of favorable currency movements of $8.2 million, partially reduced by an increase in bad debt expense.
The Company recognized net income attributable to stockholders of $74.7$34.7 million in 20152018 compared with $109.8$48.6 million in 2014.2017. The decrease was primarily the result of the decrease inlower operating profit, the effect of the favorable HYGFS equity income in 2017 related to the Tax Reform Act and unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments on an increaseequity investment in a third-party. This decrease was partially offset by changes in discrete tax adjustments in the reported income tax rate in 20152018 compared with 2014.2017.

loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates, and certain items with respect to valuation allowances or other unusual or non-recurring tax adjustments are reflected in the interim period in which they occur.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences that exist between the financial statement carrying value of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards on a taxing jurisdiction basis. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which it expects the temporary differences to be recovered or paid.
The authoritative guidance for income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) such assets will not be realized. The valuation of deferred tax assets requires judgment in assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns and future profitability. The Company's accounting for deferred tax consequences represents its best estimate of those future events. Changes in the Company's estimates, due to unanticipated events or otherwise, could have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. The Company continually evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required.
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Reform Act. The Tax Reform Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, repealing the deduction for domestic production activities, allowing the immediate expensing of certain qualified capital expenditures, implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a one-time transition tax on certain unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries. As a result of the Tax Reform Act in 2017, the Company recorded provisional tax effects of $38.2 million, comprised of $33.1 million of tax expense due to the transition tax on the unremitted earnings and profits of non-U.S. subsidiaries and $5.1 million of tax expense due to the effects on the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017. The Company has since finalized its calculation of earnings and profits, including the amounts held in cash or other specified assets and its calculation of available foreign tax credits consistent with the additional regulatory guidance issued during 2018 and 2019, resulting in a reduction in tax expense of $4.4 million and an increase in tax expense of $0.1 million in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
After the utilization of existing tax credits, the Company will pay cash taxes, including state income taxes, of $17.7 million with respect to the transition tax payable over an installment period of eight years beginning in 2018. During 2019, the Company provided for the anticipated withholding taxes on unremitted non-U.S. earnings for which no reinvestment plan has been identified and that may be repatriated in the foreseeable future. As such, the Company has provided a deferred tax liability with respect to these earnings of $1.7 million at December 31, 2019.
A reconciliation of the consolidated federal statutory and reported income tax is as follows for the years ended December 31:

The Company's effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily as a result of income taxed in non-U.S. jurisdictions and changes in valuation allowances primarily in non-U.S. jurisdictions.
In addition, the effect of discrete items on the reported income tax rate was as follows:
During 2016, the Company received a notice from the Italian Tax Authority approving the transfer of certain tax losses as part of an internal restructuring. As a result, the Company believes it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets for such losses will be realized in the foreseeable future, and has released the valuation allowance previously provided. The Company also

The Company's effective income tax benefitsrate differs from provision to return adjustmentsthe U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily related to a U.S. tax deduction for manufacturing activities and adjustments for the taxation of certain foreign earnings and a tax benefit from an internal sale of a subsidiary between affiliated companies resulting in the repatriation of non-U.S. accumulated earnings which triggered a currency loss for U.S. tax purposes.
Other discrete items during 2016 include a discrete tax benefit of $4.0 million. Asas a result of the Bolzoni acquisition, the Company changed its previous reinvestment assertion;federal research and consequently, all of theenergy credits, income taxed in non-U.S. jurisdictions, equity interest earnings, of its European operations are now considered permanently reinvestedglobal intangible low-taxed income, base-erosion and the previously provided deferredanti-abuse tax liability is no longer required. and changes in valuation allowances primarily in non-U.S. jurisdictions. Other permanent adjustments include non-deductible compensation and anticipated withholding tax on unremitted non-U.S. earnings.
In addition, the Company recognized the effect of the Tax Reform Act as discrete adjustments. The effect of other discrete items on the reported income tax rate was as follows:
During 2017, the Company recognized a discretetax benefit of $9.1 million and a tax expense of $1.6$1.4 million related to non-deductible acquisition expenses and a discrete tax expense of $2.1 million for net additions for unrecognized tax benefits.
During 2014 and 2015, a significant downturn was experienced in the Company's Brazilian operations. This significant decrease in operations and actions taken by management to reduce its manufacturing activity to more appropriate levels, coupled with the continued low expectations in the near term for the Brazilian lift truck market and the continuing devaluation of the Brazilian real, caused the Company in 2015 to forecast a three-year cumulative loss for its Brazilian operations. Although the Company projects earnings over the longer term for its Brazilian operations, such longer-term forecasts are not sufficient positive evidence to support the future utilization of deferred tax assets when a three-year loss is determined. Accordingly, in 2015, the Company recorded a valuation allowance adjustment of $1.9 million against its deferred tax assets in Brazil as a discrete tax adjustment. The Company also recognized $2.4 million and $5.6 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, of valuation allowances related to pre-tax losses in Brazil included in its effective tax rate.
During 2015, the Company came to a tentative agreement in negotiating an Advance Pricing Agreement with the Australian Tax Authority. The terms of the agreement were finalized in 2016 and will extend through 2020. As a result of this agreement, in 2015, the Company released a portion of the valuation allowance of $4.4 million, related to the deferred tax asset that it expected would be utilized in the foreseeable future. In 2015, the Company also recognized a discrete tax benefitbenefits from an internal sale of a subsidiary between consolidated companies resulting in the repatriation of non-U.S. accumulated earnings taxed at higher rates.
During 2014, In addition, the Company recognized discretesettled various federal obligations in Brazil through the utilization of its federal net operating loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance was previously provided. As a result of the utilization of the underlying deferred tax items from provision to return adjustments primarily related to certain foreign earnings and repatriations and the effect of U.S. tax deductions for manufacturing activities. In addition, during 2014,assets, the Company recognizedreleased the associated valuation allowance previously provided of $4.7 million. This was partly offset by a gain on$1.6 million valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assets in China where the sale of real estate and an operating facility in Brazil of $17.7 million, and related incomeCompany has determined that such deferred tax expense of $6.2 million. The income tax expense related toassets no longer meet the gain was considered an unusual and non-recurring transaction and excluded from the computation of the effective income tax rate.more likely than not standard for realization.

Financing Activities
The Company has a $240.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the "Facility”"Facility") that expires in April 2021.2022. There were $106.0$0.3 million of borrowings outstanding under the facilityFacility at December 31, 2016.2019. The excess availability under the Facility at December 31, 2016,2019 was $127.7$234.7 million, which reflects reductions of $6.3$5.0 million for letters of credit. Thecredit and other restrictions. As of December 31, 2019, the Facility consistsconsisted of a U.S. revolving credit facility of $140.0$150.0 million and a non-U.S. revolving credit facility of $100.0$90.0 million. The Facility can be increased up to $340.0 million over the term of the agreement in minimum increments of $10.0 million subject to certain conditions. The obligations under the Facility are generally secured by a first lien on the working capital assets of the borrowers in the Facility, which include but are not limited to, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventory.inventory (the "Facility Collateral") and a second lien on the Term Loan Collateral (defined below). The approximate book value of assets held as collateral under the Facility was $530$900 million as of December 31, 2016.2019.
Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate that can bebased on a base rate or LIBOR, as defined in the Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effectiveas of December 31, 2016,2019, for U.S. base rate loans and LIBOR loans were 0.50% and 1.50%, respectively. The applicable margins, effectivemargin, as of December 31, 2016,2019, for non-U.S. base rate loans and LIBOR loans was 1.50%. The applicable LIBOR interest rates for borrowings outstanding under the Facility on December 31, 2016 were 2.25% and2019 was 1.50% for the U.S. and non-U.S facility, respectively, including the applicable floating rate margin.. The Facility also requiresrequired the payment of a fee of 0.250% per annum on the unused commitments. Ascommitment as of December 31, 2016,2019.

The Facility includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit additional borrowings and investments of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to certain thresholds, as defined in the Facility, and limits the payment of dividends. If the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, is greater than fifteen percent and less than twenty percent for both total and U.S. revolving credit facilities, the Company may pay dividends subject to maintaining a certain level of availability prior to and upon payment of a dividend and achieving a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00, as defined in the Facility. If the minimum availability threshold, as defined in the Facility, is greater than twenty percent for both total and U.S. revolving credit facilities,pro forma basis, the Company may pay dividends without any minimum fixed charge coverage ratioFixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement. The Facility also requires the Company to achieve a minimum fixed charge coverage ratioFixed Charge Coverage Ratio in certain circumstances in which total excess availability is less than ten percent10% of the total commitments under the Facility or excess availability under the U.S. revolving credit facility is less than ten percent10% of the U.S. revolver commitments, as defined in the Facility. At December 31, 2016,2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Facility.
The Company also has a $200.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan"), which matures in May 2023. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments on the last business day of each March, June, September and December in an amount equal to $2.5 million. The final principal repayment is due on May 30, 2023. The Company may also be required to make mandatory prepayments, in certain circumstances, as provided in the Term Loan. At December 31, 2019, there was $175.0 million of principle outstanding under the Term Loan which has been reduced in the consolidated balance sheet by $2.8 million of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees.
The obligations under the Term Loan are generally secured by a first priority lien on the present and future shares of capital stock, material real property, fixtures and general intangibles consisting of intellectual property (collectively, the "Term Loan Collateral") and a second priority lien on the Facility Collateral. The approximate book value of assets held as collateral under the Term Loan was $600 million as of December 31, 2019.
Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a floating rate, which can be a base rate or Eurodollar rate, as defined in the Term Loan, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin, as provided in the Term Loan, is 2.25% for U.S. base rate loans and 3.25% for Eurodollar loans. The interest rate on the amount outstanding under the Term Loan at December 31, 2019 was 5.05%. In addition, the Term Loan includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit additional borrowings and investments of the Company subject to certain thresholds. The Term Loan limits the payment of regularly scheduled dividends and other restricted payments to $50.0 million in any fiscal year, unless the consolidated total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Term Loan, does not exceed 1.75 to 1.00 at the time of the payment. At December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Term Loan.
The Company incurred fees and expenses of $0.4 million, $0.6 million and $4.7 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These fees related to amending the Facility and entry into and amending the Term Loan. These fees were deferred and are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the applicable debt agreements. Fees related to the Term Loan are presented as a direct deduction of the corresponding debt.
The Company had other borrowingsdebt outstanding, excluding capitalfinance leases, of approximately $78.5$93.5 million at December 31, 2016.2019. In addition to the excess availability under the Facility, the Company had remaining availability of $47.5$18.2 million related to other non-U.S. revolving credit agreements.
The Company believes funds available from cash on hand, the Facility, other available lines of credit and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the Facility in April 2021.2022.

TheAfter the utilization of existing tax credits, the Company will pay total cash taxes, including state income taxes, of $17.7 million with respect to the transition tax payable over an installment period of eight years, beginning in 2018. During 2019, the Company has a contingent consideration arrangementprovided for the anticipated withholding taxes on unremitted non-U.S. earnings for which requiresno reinvestment plan has been identified and that may be repatriated in the foreseeable future. As such, the Company has provided a deferred tax liability with respect to pay additional consideration to Nuvera's selling shareholders for payments based on future deploymentthese earnings of certain elements of the acquired technology through 2029. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement$1.7 million at December 31, 2016 was $0.6 million. The actual payments related to the contingent consideration arrangement can vary significantly each year due to changes in the actual results of Nuvera, as a result, the contingent consideration arrangement has not been included in the table above. No payments have been made under this arrangement.2019.
The Company has a long-term liability of approximately $6.4$19.6 million for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, as of December 31, 2016.2019. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the timing of payments due to, among other factors, the uncertainty of the timing and outcome of the Company's audits.
An event of default, as defined in the agreements governing the Facility, the Term Loan, other debt agreements, and in operating and capital lease agreements, could cause an acceleration of the payment schedule. No such event of default has occurred or is anticipated under these agreements.

The Company's interest payments are calculated based upon the anticipated payment schedule and the December 31, 20162019 applicable rates and applicable margins as described in the Facility and other debt agreements. A 1/8% increase in the LIBOR rate would increase the Company's estimated total interest payments on debt by less than $0.1$0.2 million.
The purchase and other obligations are primarily for accounts payable, open purchase orders and accrued payroll and incentive compensation.
Pension funding can vary significantly each year due to plan amendments, changes in the market value of plan assets, legislation and the Company's funding decisions to contribute any excess above the minimum legislative funding requirements. As a result, pension funding has not been included in the table above. Pension benefit payments are made from assets of the pension plans. The Company expects to contribute approximately $3.0$0.4 million and $3.2 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, in 2017. No contributions to the Company's U.S. pension plans are expected in 2017.2020.
In addition, the Company has recourse and repurchase obligations with a maximum undiscounted potential liability of $149.3$179.7 million at December 31, 2016.2019. Recourse and repurchase obligations primarily represent contingent liabilities assumed by the Company to support financing agreements made between the Company's customers and third-party finance companies for the customer’s purchase of lift trucks from the Company. For these transactions, the Company or a third-party finance company retains a perfected security interest in the lift truck, such that the Company would take possession of the lift truck in the event it would become liable under the terms of the recourse and repurchase obligations. Generally, these commitments are due

upon demand in the event of default by the customer. The security interest is normally expected to equal or exceed the amount of the commitment. To the extent the Company would be required to provide funding as a result of these commitments, the Company believes the value of its perfected security interest and amounts available under existing credit facilities are adequate to meet these commitments in the foreseeable future.
The amount of the recourse or repurchase obligations increases and decreaseschanges over time as obligations under existing arrangements expire and new obligations arise in the ordinary course of business. Losses anticipated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations were not significant at December 31, 20162019 and reserves have been provided for such losses in the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
TheFor some time, the Company has a 20%been focused on six core strategies:
1.Provide the lowest cost of ownership interest in HYG Financial Services, Inc. ("HYGFS"), a joint venture with Wells Fargo Financial Leasing, Inc. (“WF”), formed primarilywhile enhancing productivity for customers.
2.Be the purpose of providing financial services to independent Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and National Account customersleader in the United States. delivery of industry- and customer-focused solutions.
3.Be the leader in independent distribution.
4.Grow in emerging markets.
5.Be the leader in the attachments business.
6.Be a leader in fuel cells and their applications.
The Company’s ownershipprojects required to execute fully on these strategies have been, in HYGFS is accounted for usinggeneral, initiated over the equity method of accounting.
Generally, the Company sells lift trucks through its independent dealer network or directly to customers. These dealerslast several years and customers may enter into a financing transaction with HYGFS or other unrelated third parties. HYGFS provides debt financing to dealers and lease financing to both dealers and customers. HYGFS’ total purchases of Hyster® and Yale® lift trucks from dealers, and directly from the Company, such that HYGFS could provide retail lease financing to customers, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $438.8 million, $483.2 million and $465.9 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $69.4 million, $78.6 million and $94.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were invoiced directly from the Company to HYGFS so that the customer could obtain operating lease financing from HYGFS. Amounts receivable from HYGFS were $12.1 million and $7.7 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Under the termsmany are now moving toward completion. Further, many of the joint venture agreement with WF, the Company provides recourse for wholesale financing provided by HYGFSprojects supporting these strategies are inter-related and succeeding in one will foster success in others. In total, these projects have required, and continue to require, significant up-front expense and capital expenditure investment. The various projects cover a broad range of the Company's dealers. Additionally, the credit quality of a customer or concentration issues within WF may require providing recourse or repurchase obligationsactivities, including product development, supply chain, IT, manufacturing, sales and marketing for lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through HYGFS. At December 31, 2016, approximately $130.3 millioneach of the Company’s total recourse or repurchase obligations of $149.3 million relatedthree major businesses: Lift Truck, Bolzoni and Nuvera.
Since 2017, these investments, both expense and capital, have increased significantly. Further increased investments are expected to transactionscontinue to be made, with HYGFS.capital expenditures expected to be substantially higher in 2020 than in 2019. The Company has reserved for losses underreturn from these investments is expected to increase over the termsnext three to four years. In this context, Lift Truck's operating profit is expected to improve significantly in 2020 over 2019. Results in the first half of the recourse or repurchase obligations in its consolidated financial statements. Historically,year are expected to be higher than the Company has not had significant lossesfirst half of 2019, with respect to these obligations. During 2016, 2015 and 2014, the net losses resulting from customer defaults did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In connection with the joint venture agreement, the Company also provides a guarantee to WF for 20% of HYGFS’ debt with WF, such that the Company would become liable under the terms of HYGFS’ debt agreements with WFfurther, substantial improvement expected in the casesecond half of default by HYGFS. At December 31, 2016, loans from WFthe year compared with both the second half of 2019 and the first half of 2020. Further improved results are expected with significant increases through 2023. Lift Truck's objective is to HYGFS totaled $860.7 million. Although the Company's contractual guarantee was $172.1 million, the loans by WFachieve its target of 7% operating profit margin in this period assuming reasonable market conditions continue. Likewise, Bolzoni’s operating profit is expected to HYGFS are secured by HYGFS’ customer receivables, of which the Company guarantees $130.3 million. Excluding the $130.3 million of HYGFS receivables guaranteed by the Company from HYGFS’ loans to WF, the Company’s incremental obligationincrease in 2020, primarily as a result of this guaranteethe absence of $2.5 million of restructuring charges for its Americas operations, with further improvements in the following years, leading to WFachievement of a 7% operating profit margin target. Nuvera’s results are expected to improve in 2020 over 2019, with shipments expected to ramp up throughout the second half of 2020. Results are expected to improve significantly at Nuvera over the 2021 to 2023 time period. At each of these three businesses, the investments being undertaken are expected to lead to increased operating profit through higher volumes, decreased product costs and improved pricing, partially offset by a higher level of operating expense in future years. Overall, consolidated operating profit and net income in 2020 are expected to increase substantially over 2019.
At Lift Truck, product programs are expected to lay the groundwork for enhanced market position by providing lower cost of ownership and enhanced productivity for the Company’s customers. At the core of these programs is $151.4 million,a new set of modular and scalable product families covering both internal combustion engine and electric trucks, which will provide customers with enhanced flexibility for meeting their application needs combined with the benefit of lowest total cost of ownership. The introduction of the first of these products is securedexpected in the second half of 2020 with the launch of a new range of counterbalanced trucks. This range will be expanded comprehensively to include larger counterbalanced capacities, Big Trucks and warehouse trucks. A further major initiative in product offerings will come from the introduction of trucks manufactured by 20%Hyster-Yale Maximal in China. A line of HYGFS' customer receivablestrucks from Hyster-Yale Maximal has been designed to provide high quality and other secured assets of $229.7 million. HYGFS has not defaultedreliable, lower-intensity trucks for global markets and standard trucks for the Chinese market. These trucks are being progressively launched globally under the terms of this debt financingHyster® UT and Yale® UX brands to serve lower-intensity customer applications. The launch began in the pastJAPIC, Brazil and although there can be no assurances,Latin America markets during the 2019 fourth quarter and is expected to expand over the course of 2020 to all countries. In addition, Lift Truck’s partner in India is expected to increase local production of larger trucks. In 2019, a new end rider and a new automated Reach Truck were launched in the North America market, and a range of new lower-cost Class 3 lift trucks, including walkie and stacker global products, were launched in certain markets. All of these new products are expected to have a significant impact on results in 2020. In early 2020, Lift Truck launched a new 3- to 5-ton integrated lithium-ion engine lift truck with numerous ergonomic benefits for the Americas and EMEA markets, and it expects to launch a 7- to 9-ton version later in the year. In addition, the Company expects to launch a newer-model Reach Truck for the Americas market late in the first quarter of 2020. To further enhance productivity for customers, Lift Truck is not awarecontinuing to develop automation solutions for warehouse trucks, initially in combination with industry partners. Some of any circumstances that would cause HYGFSthese products are already in the market today, but new solutions and customers are expected to default in future periods.be developed progressively over the next several years. Lift Truck continues to expand sales of telemetry products, and new generations of lift trucks will offer a fully integrated telematics solution. Finally, Lift Truck anticipates introducing new fuel

The following table includesintroduction of these new products will lead to significant changes in supply chain sourcing and in the exposure amounts relatedCompany’s various manufacturing facilities around the world. Consolidated component volume sourced globally from reliable partners is expected to reduce costs and improve quality as these new products are brought to market over the next few years. Lift Truck’s largest manufacturing facilities in Berea, Craigavon and Greenville are undergoing significant changes and are expected to have reduced costs and improved productivity while most other plants will see more modest changes. China production activities are expected to be consolidated at the Hyster-Yale Maximal facility. The first phase of this transition occurred during the 2019 fourth quarter, and the second phase is expected to be completed by the end of 2020.
Lift Truck currently has over 400 different forklift models in its range, including Hyster-Yale Maximal models, which are reinforced by its capability to customize these trucks to meet specific customer needs. The modular nature of the new products being introduced will enhance the Company's guaranteesability to meet customer needs at December 31, 2016:

In addition to providing financing tolowest cost and in more detail, both at the Company’s dealers, HYGFS provides operating lease financing toindustry level and at the Company. Operating lease obligations primarily relate to specific sale-leaseback-sublease transactions for certain customers wherebyindividual customer level. To achieve the full expected benefit from these programs, the Company sells lift truckscontinues to HYGFS, leasesmake substantial expense investments in its sales and marketing organizations to realign teams around industry groupings, with spending on this program almost at mature levels. Within marketing, industry-focused resources have been added to develop industry strategies. The higher-priority industry strategies have been completed for North America and Europe. Most of the strategies were completed for all countries, or groups of countries, during 2019 but will mature and be enhanced over future years. To support execution of these lift trucks back under an operating lease agreementindustry strategies, Lift Truck has invested in additional industry-focused sales capabilities to support its dealers. This industry-focused structure has been highly successful in its National Account direct sales program and then subleases those lift trucksis now being deployed with the new dealer support teams. These investments are largely in place in North America, and to customers under an operating lease agreement. Total obligationsa lesser degree in EMEA. Additional sales capabilities are expected to HYGFS underbe added in other areas around the operating lease agreements were $17.2 million and $14.3 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition,world over the next year, while the Company provides certain subsidieswill look to reduce costs in other areas to contain spending. In total, the Company believes that these projects will put it in a position to be a leader in the delivery of industry- and customer-focused solutions worldwide.
While the new sales teams will support dealers’ sales efforts, the Company also intends to continue to upgrade its global dealer capabilities. A core objective is to have dealers that are paid directly to HYGFS. Total subsidies were $2.8 million, $2.8 million and $3.0 million for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

To help these programs have maximum impact, the Company relatedintends to these services was $9.8 million in 2016, $14.6 million in 2015 and $12.0 million in 2014. In addition, in December 2015, the Company received $5.0 million as an amendment fee that was deferred and will be recognizedinvest over the remaining term of the agreement which expiresnext few years in December 2018.
The Company has a 50% ownership interest in Sumitomo NACCO Forklift Co., Ltd. (“SN”), a limited liability company that was formed in 1970 primarily to manufacture and distribute Sumitomo-branded lift trucks in Japan and export Hyster®- and Yale®-branded lift trucks and related components and service parts outside of Japan. Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. owns the remaining 50% interest in SN. Each shareholder of SN is entitled to appoint directors representing 50% of the vote of SN’s board of directors.

The Company purchases products from SN for sale outside of Japan under agreed-upon terms. In 2016, 2015 and 2014, purchases from SN were $55.0 million, $57.1 million and $70.7 million, respectively. Amounts payable to SN at December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $16.5 million and $15.8 million, respectively.
Additionally, the Company recognized income of $0.5 million, $0.3 million and $1.1 million during 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, for payments from SN for use of technology developed by the Company.
OUTLOOK
Americas Outlook
After a stronger than expected market in 2016, the Company expects the Americas market for attachments. To help capture this, Bolzoni plans to moderateintroduce a broader range of locally produced attachments with shorter lead times to serve its customer base. Bolzoni also is in 2017, primarily as a resultthe process of a modestly weakerincreasing its sales, marketing and product support capabilities in North America, market, partly offset byand is establishing a small assembly function in Brazil to serve the Latin America market. In addition, it has developed a standard product line sourced from one of its factories in China to supplement its premium line. Further, Bolzoni has plans to continue to expand this standard product line. Bolzoni’s current outstanding premium line of products coupled with these standard products and an anticipated partial market recoveryindustry-focused strategy are expected to give Bolzoni the ability to increase its sales significantly in Brazil. Despite these market conditions, unit shipments, revenuesthe Americas, JAPIC and parts salesEMEA regions. These new programs are expected to increase in 2017 over 2016 due to an increase in sales of higher-priced Class 2Bolzoni’s market position and Class 5 internal combustion engine trucks and anticipated market share increases.

EMEA Outlook
During 2015, EMEA had currency hedgesbuses and trucks and applications in place that mitigated the unfavorable effectautomotive sector, with an expanding line of developed products. Nuvera expects its core technology to move to a new generation of fuel cell stack design over the next year with broad application in each of these markets. It successfully certified its first 45kW engine for China in 2019 and the vehicle certification is in process. Nuvera is focused on continuously improving the quality and cost of its fuel cell engines. These performance and cost factors are expected to reach target objectives over the next two years. With the transfer of the strengthening U.S. dollar. As these hedges have expired, theyresponsibility for development of non-fuel-cell engine components and the overall assembly of Class 1 and Class 2 BBRs to Lift Truck during 2019, Nuvera is now focused entirely on fuel cell stacks and engines. To improve its cost base, Nuvera continues to work on standardizing its products, developing low-cost suppliers and automating various elements of stack production. Robotic stack assembly lines have been replaced with contracts with less favorable currency rates. Further,in development for some time, and Nuvera brought the strong U.S. dollarfirst online during the fourth quarter of 2019. In overview, Nuvera’s objective is to reduce its loss in 2020 and to achieve break-even in the near to medium term. In the long term, Nuvera is expected to continuecontribute substantially to havethe Company's overall earnings.
In summary, the Company believes it is at an unfavorable impact on the EMEA resultsinflection point in 2017. However, over the longer term, the declineits business. Results in 2019 reflected continued investment in the British pound is expectedCompany's strategic programs and progress on their implementation. In 2020, the Company expects the maturation of these investments to improve the competitive position of the Company's plant in Northern Ireland.
In 2017, moderate overall growth in the EMEA markets is expected to be driven by strength in Easternbegin, and Western Europe partially offset by continued lower demand in the Middle East and Africa market, as well as moderating market demand for Class 5 Big Trucks. As a result, of these market conditions, anticipated market share gains2020 operating profit and product price increases, units and parts revenuesnet income are expected to increase significantly over 2019. Efforts to abate the most severe shortages from key suppliers in 2017,the United States have now been successful, and the supplier shortages that occurred during 2019 were generally resolved by the end of the year, with greater revenue growth anticipatedsome modest lingering effects in the first halfquarter of 2020. The status of tariffs has been changing continuously and, although the Company is still experiencing significant additional costs from both the Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs, the Section 301 tariffs have been abated somewhat by government-granted exclusions and partly offset by the Company’s supply chain group securing alternative non-Chinese suppliers and negotiating price reductions.
For the 2020 full year, particularly the first quarter, against lower 2016 comparable revenues.
Full-year 2017 operating profit in the EMEA segmentconsolidated cash flow before financing activities is expected to decrease compared with 2016. Operating profit inincrease significantly over 2019.
In 2020 and 2021, a considerable portion of the first half of 2017 is anticipated to be comparable to the first half of 2016 as improved unit and parts revenuesnew projects outlined above are expected to be offset by higher operating expenseshave reached completion for all three companies and material cost inflation. However, as the revenueCompany believes the full impact of these programs can lead to profitability improvements moderatefor a number of years to come. The remainder of the programs are expected to reach maturity mainly in 2022 and 2023, although a few, particularly those involving dealer structure and excellence, are more in the second halfnature of continuous improvement projects rather than projects which reach maturity at a given time. Of course, the absolute level of profitability will reflect actual market demand levels, which showed some softening in 2019, particularly in EMEA. While markets are still at robust levels, the market appears to be in a downturn, which is currently projected to be moderate and of limited duration. As a result, in 2020, the Company is currently forecasting strong but lower forklift market levels in all geographic segments. The Company continues to forecast a resolution to the Brexit transition in a way that does not significantly harm its business prospects.
The effects of the year, operating profitCoronavirus epidemic continue to evolve daily, and there is expectedmuch uncertainty with regard to decrease compared with the second halframifications of 2016.
JAPIC Outlook
In 2017, the JAPIC market is expected to be comparable to 2016, with improvements in the Asia and China markets mostly offset by moderating Japan and Pacific markets. However,this situation. Currently, as a result of the continued implementationextended Chinese New Year and government mandates associated with containing the Coronavirus epidemic in China, the startup of production at the Company's strategic initiatives, revenues and operating results are expected to improve compared with 2016. Operating results in the first half of 2017 are expected to be lower than the first half of 2016,Chinese facilities has been delayed, but are expected to be more than offset by improvements in the second half of the year.
Overall Lift Truck Outlook
Full-year 2016 lift truck results were significantly affected by up-front investments made to move forward the Company's share gain initiatives. Overall, full-year lift truck net income declined as a result of the unfavorable effect of lower pricing, including deal-specific pricing, at less than target margins and reduced sales volumes, which led to lower absorption of fixed costs and higher manufacturing variances. Increased selling, general and administrative expenses, including acquisition-related costs and higher marketing-related expenses also contributed to the decrease in net income as the Company invested to position itself to achieve its targeted objectives.
In contrast, in 2017, progress toward achieving these targeted objectives is expected due to the continued focus on gaining market share, the development of new products and the 2016 investments made in the share gain initiatives. The global lift truck market in 2017 is expected to be comparable to 2016. Despiteramp up over the next few weeks. However, this market environment,timing is contingent on the Company expects these activities to resultappropriate utilities, transportation and other support services being in increasing sales volumesplace, as well as the availability of components from suppliers. Further, the impact and enhanced margins through pricing, while maintaining headcount near current levels.
More specifically, unit and parts revenues and operating profit are expected to increase in 2017 compared with 2016 as a resultthe spread of the anticipated market share gains. Net incomevirus, which is not predictable at this time, may affect the Company's operations in 2017 is also expected to increase modestly from 2016 as benefits fromother areas of the improvement in operating profit are expected to be partially offset by a higher income tax rate and the absence of tax benefits recognized in 2016.
Commodity costs declined throughout 2016, but are expected to increase in 2017 from the low 2016 levels. Commodities,world, including steel in particular, remain volatile and sensitive to changes in the global economy and theItaly. The Company will continue to monitor these closely.the global Coronavirus situation, and its effect on the Company's businesses, and it will take further action as necessary to maintain the health and safety of its global employees and partners, and to address any production and supply chain issues which may emerge.
The Company remainsbelieves that investors who are focused on implementing its key strategic initiatives of understanding customer needs, providing the lowest cost of ownership over the life-cycle of the truck, enhancing its independent distribution, increasing its warehousemid-term business improvement in market position increasingand profitability will find that the Company's successCompany’s focus is consistent with those investment objectives.

2016, and shipments began early in the fourth quarter. Production also began on the Company's new European 1-1.6 ton pedestrian pallet stacker during the third quarter of 2016 and shipments began late in the fourth quarter. Early in the second quarter of 2017, the Company expects to launch a new economy ReachStacker Big Truck dedicated to high volume container handling applications in defined markets. As these new products gain traction and other new products in the pipeline are introduced, these new products are expected to help increase market share, improve revenues and enhance operating margins in 2017 and in the long term.
Bolzoni Outlook
The majority of Bolzoni's revenues are generated in the EMEA market, primarily Eastern and Western Europe, and, to a lesser degree, in the North America market. As a result of anticipated growth in the EMEA markets, recent OEM commitments and the implementation of sales enhancement programs, Bolzoni expects 2017 revenues to increase compared with its full-year 2016 revenues and be comparable to the annualized fourth quarter 2016 revenues.
In addition to the increase in revenues, the implementation of integrated lift truck and Bolzoni programs are expected to generate growth in operating profit and net income and generate more operating leverage from sales growth. In addition, the absence of one-time purchase accounting adjustments recognized in 2016 will contribute to the improvement in results.
Nuvera Outlook
With initial commercialization now underway, Nuvera is being reorganized to focus on its core competencies of fuel cell stack and engine manufacturing while continuing development of its hydrogen generation appliance and its electro-chemical compressor. Consistent with the Company's original acquisition plan, responsibility for the next generation of battery-box replacements, as well as the integration of Nuvera's fuel cell engines directly into the lift truck product range, will be shifted to the lift truck business during 2017. Nuvera will continue, for now, to manufacture its current generation battery-box replacements but as a manufacturer for the lift truck business and will provide ongoing design assistance to the lift truck business development group. This structure will permit Nuvera to focus on its core intellectual property in developing fuel cells and on commercialization of the fuel cell stacks and engines as a fuel cell engine supplier to the lift truck business. In turn, the lift truck business will focus on its core competency of integrating engines of all types into forklift trucks, using its established expertise in product development, supply chain, manufacturing and end-product and aftermarket sales.
The first shipments of Nuvera's battery-box replacement product began just before the two-year anniversary of the acquisition of Nuvera. While initial commercialization took longer than anticipated, the Company is pleased with the design innovation Nuvera has shown in its core technologies, as well as in its current generation of battery-box replacements. However, production costs for these units are currently higher than target costs. Nuvera and the Company are focused on reducing manufacturing costs per unit as production increases and greater economies of scale are achieved through the combination of Nuvera's technology and innovation with the lift truck business' supply chain, manufacturing and distribution expertise. After Nuvera’s success of delivering to its launch customer and successful trials and demonstrations at other customers, the Company has confidence there is adequate demand to begin volume production of the battery-box replacements and integrated solutions at its Greenville, North Carolina manufacturing plant during the second half of 2017.
While transition plans continue, new orders are being received and further demonstrations are planned, which are expected to provide additional sales opportunities. As a result, Nuvera® Fuel Cell System unit shipments and related revenues are expected to increase significantly in 2017 over 2016, most substantially in the second half of the year.
Nuvera plans to build out its current generation inventory prior to transitioning production to Greenville. Until the target cost structure is in place and the supply chain and manufacturing efficiencies are realized, development and inventory costs are expected to result in continued inventory adjustments to reflect current selling prices, but at a decreasing rate. In 2017, as additional revenues are generated and the Company and Nuvera work to reduce manufacturing costs per unit, Nuvera expects a lower net loss than in 2016, including inventory adjustments, especially in the first half of 2017. Nuvera's objective is to reach a quarterly break-even operating profit during 2018.
The Company believes the commercialization of Nuvera fuel cell-related technologies is an investment that will reinforce the Company’s core strategies and help drive further lift truck unit market share growth, as well as meet customer needs. It also provides the Company with the ability to expand its power solutions offerings, as well as its offering of best-in-class energy

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company has entered into certain financing arrangements that require interest payments based on floating interest rates. As such, the Company's financial results are subject to changes in the market rate of interest. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest. The Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate. See also Note 89 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For purposes of risk analysis, the Company uses sensitivity analysis to measure the potential loss in fair value of financial instruments sensitive to changes in interest rates. The Company assumes that a loss in fair value is either a decrease to its assets or an increase to its liabilities. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements was a net liability of $0.3$2.1 million at December 31, 2016.2019. A hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates would cause a decrease in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements and the resulting fair value would be a liability of $2.6 million.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
The Company operates internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As such, the Company's financial results are subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies and not for

A hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates would cause a decrease in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements and the resulting fair value would be a liability of $0.5 million.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
The Company operates internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As such, the Company's financial results are subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies and not for trading purposes. These contracts generally mature within 36 months and require the companies to buy or sell euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, Mexican pesos, Australian dollars, Swedish kroner, Brazilian real and Mexican pesosChinese renminbi for its functional currency at rates agreed to at the inception of the contracts. The fair value of these contracts was a net liability of $22.7$19.8 million at December 31, 2016.2019. See also Note 89 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For purposes of risk analysis, the Company uses sensitivity analysis to measure the potential loss in fair value of financial instruments sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company assumes that a loss in fair value is either a decrease to its assets or an increase to its liabilities. Assuming a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar compared with other foreign currencies at December 31, 20162019, the fair value of foreign currency-sensitive financial instruments, which primarily represent forward foreign currency exchange contracts, would be decreased by $40.1$6.6 million compared with the fair value at December 31, 20162019. It is important to note that the change in fair value indicated in this sensitivity analysis would be somewhat offset by changes in the revaluation of the underlying receivables and payables.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively “the(“the Company”) as of December 31, 20162019 and 2015, and2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016. Our audits also included2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 25, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includesmisstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supportingregarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An auditOur audits also includes assessingincluded evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement presentation.statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion,Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements referredthat was communicated or required to above present fairly, in allbe communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material respects,to the consolidated financial positionstatements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the Company at December 31, 2016 and 2015, andcritical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements, taken as a whole, presents fairly,and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosure to which it relates.

| Valuation of Goodwill |
| Description of the Matter | At December 31, 2019, the Company’s goodwill balance was $106.7 million. As discussed in Note 13, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill for impairment annually as of May 1st and between annual evaluations if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate potential impairment. The Company applied a quantitative assessment for all material reporting units in fiscal 2019. As part of the quantitative approach, the Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach from the perspective of a market participant. Significant estimates within the discounted cash flow analysis include cash flow forecasts, the discount rate and the terminal business value. Auditing management’s annual goodwill impairment assessment relating to goodwill amounts was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine the fair value of the reporting units. In particular, the fair value estimate was sensitive to significant assumptions, such as changes in the discount rate applied, revenue growth rates, including the terminal growth rate, and operating margins, which are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. |
|
| |
| How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment and annual forecasting process whereby the Company develops significant assumptions that are used as inputs to the annual goodwill impairment test. This included controls over management's review of the valuation model and the significant assumptions (e.g., revenue, operating margin and terminal growth rate) used to develop the prospective financial information (PFI). To test the implied fair value of the Company’s reporting units, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing use of the discounted cash flow methodology and directly testing the significant assumptions and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis, including assessing the completeness and accuracy of such underlying data. We utilized internal valuation specialists in assessing the fair value methodologies applied and evaluating the reasonableness of the discount rate selected by management. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry and economic trends, historical performance, and strategic plans. We considered whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates, and we performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting units that would result from changes in the assumptions. Furthermore, we assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. |

Basis for Opinion
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc.
We have audited Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. and Subsidiaries' (collectively "the Company") internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the COSO criteria). The Company'sCompany’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Reportmanagement's report on Internal Controlinternal control over Financial Reportingfinancial reporting in Item 9A of the Form 10-K.9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company'sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company'scompany’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company'scompany’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company'scompany’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Bolzoni, which is included in the 2016 consolidated financial statements of the Company and constituted 16% of total assets as of December 31, 2016 and 4% of revenues for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Bolzoni.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 of the Company and our report dated February 28, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTE 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if any) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)
Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances: Allowances are maintained against accounts receivable for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as general trends of the entire customer pool. Accounts are written off against the allowance when it becomes evident collection will not occur.

HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)
Self-insurance Liabilities: The Company is generally self-insured for product liability, environmental liability and medical and workers’ compensation claims. For product liability, catastrophic insurance coverage is retained for potentially significant individual claims. The Company also has insurance for certain historic product liability claims. An estimated provision for claims reported and for claims incurred but not yet reported under the self-insurance programs is recorded and revised periodically based on industry trends, historical experience and management judgment. In addition, industry trends are considered within management judgment for valuing claims. Changes in assumptions for such matters as legal judgments and settlements, legal defense costs, inflation rates, medical costs and actual experience could cause estimates to change in the near term.
Revenue Recognition: Revenues are recognized based upon the terms of contracts with customers, which is generally when title transfers and risk of loss passes as customer orders are completed and shipped. For National Account customers, revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance.
Products generally are not sold with the right of return with the exception of a small percentage of aftermarket parts. Based on the Company’s historical experience, a portion of these aftermarket parts sold is estimated to be returned and, subject to certain terms and conditions, the Company will agree to accept. The Company records estimated reductions to revenues at the time of the sale based upon this historical experience and the limited right of return provided to the Company’s dealers.
The Company also records estimated reductions to revenues for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, price competition, promotions and other volume-based incentives. Lift truck sales revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts. The estimated discount amount is based upon historical trends for each lift truck model. In addition to standard discounts, dealers can also request additional discounts that allow them to offer price concessions to customers. From time to time, the Company offers special incentives to increase market share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative level of purchases is obtained. Additionally, the Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenues are recognized.
Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was $10.8$10.7 million, $11.714.6 million and $11.911.2 million in 20162019, 20152018 and 20142017, respectively.
Product Development Costs: Expenses associated with the development of new products and changes to existing products are charged to expense as incurred. These costs amounted to $107.0$115.3 million, $88.3110.9 million and $71.4104.5 million in 20162019, 20152018 and 20142017, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs: Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue and shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included on the line “Cost of sales” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities: The Company collects various taxes and fees as an agent in connection with the sale of products and remits these amounts to the respective taxing authorities. These taxes and fees have been presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are recorded as an asset or liability until received by or remitted to the respective taxing authority.
Foreign Currency: Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the fiscal year-end exchange rate. The related translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of equity, except for the Company’s Mexican operations. The U.S. dollar is considered the functional currency for the Company’s Mexican operations and, therefore, the effect of translating assets and liabilities from the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar is recorded in results of operations. Revenues and expenses of all non-U.S. operations are translated using average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the year.
Reclassification: Certain amounts in the prior period’s audited consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

NOTE 3—Revenue
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied, which occurs when control of the trucks, parts, or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The satisfaction of performance obligations under the terms of a revenue contract generally gives rise for the right to payment from the customer. The Company's standard payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. Generally, the time between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. Given the insignificant days between revenue recognition and receipt of payment, financing components do not exist between the Company and its customers. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The estimated costs of product warranties are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 16 for further information on product warranties.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)
The majority of the Company's sales contracts contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when title and risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Revenues for service contracts are recognized as the services are provided.
The Company also records variable consideration in the form of estimated reductions to revenues for customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing agreements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. Lift truck sales revenue is recorded net of estimated discounts. The estimated discount amount is based upon historical experience and trend analysis for each lift truck model. In addition to standard discounts, dealers can also request additional discounts that allow them to offer price concessions to customers. From time to time, the Company offers special incentives to increase market share or dealer stock and offers certain customers volume rebates if a specified cumulative level of purchases is obtained.
For contracts with customers that include multiple performance obligations, judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations specified in these contracts are distinct and should be accounted for as separate revenue transactions for recognition purposes. For such arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin. Impairment losses recognized on receivables or contract assets were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are reported on the line “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company pays for shipping and handling activities regardless of when control is transferred and has elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good, rather than a promised service. These costs are reported on the line “Cost of sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table disaggregates revenue by category:

Dealer sales are recognized when the Company transfers control based on the shipping terms of the contract, which is generally when the truck is shipped from the manufacturing facility to the dealers. The majority of direct customer sales are to National Account customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when it delivers the product to

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)
the customer according to the terms of the contract. Aftermarket sales represent parts sales, extended warranty and maintenance services. For the sale of aftermarket parts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when parts are shipped to the customer. When customers are given the right to return eligible parts and accessories, the Company estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The Company adjusts estimated revenues at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. The Company recognizes revenue for extended warranty and maintenance agreements based on the standalone selling price over the life of the contract, which reflects the costs to perform under these contracts and corresponds with, and thereby depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Bolzoni revenue from external customers is primarily the sale of attachments to customers. In these transactions, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue according to the shipping terms of the contract. In the United States, Bolzoni also has revenue for sales of forklift components to HYG plants. Nuvera's revenues include the sale of battery box replacement ("BBR") units to HYG for sale to a dealer and development funding from third-party development agreements. In all revenue transactions, the Company receives cash equal to the invoice price and amount of consideration received and the revenue recognized may vary with changes in marketing incentives. Intercompany revenues between Bolzoni, Nuvera and the lift truck business have been eliminated.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, Nuvera recognized revenue which had previously been deferred related to BBR units due to the inability to estimate total future warranty costs. The BBRs are new technology and the design of the product continues to evolve. The Company determined sufficient data was available in the fourth quarter of 2018 to reasonably estimate the future costs related to the sale of BBR units, including warranty costs, which were also recorded during the fourth quarter of 2018.
Deferred Revenue: The Company defers revenue for transactions that have not met the criteria for recognition at the time payment is collected, including extended warranties and maintenance contracts. In addition, for certain products, services and customer types, the Company collects payment prior to the transfer of control to the customer.

NOTE 4—Business Segments
The Company’s reportable segments for the lift truck business include the following three management units: the Americas, EMEA and JAPIC. Americas includes lift truck operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Latin America and its corporate headquarters. EMEA includes lift truck operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. JAPIC includes lift truck operations in the Asia and Pacific regions, including China, as well as the equity earnings of SN operations. In 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of the majority interest in Hyster-Yale Maximal, which is also included in the JAPIC segment from the date of acquisition. Certain amounts are allocated to these geographic management units and are included in the segment results presented below, including product development costs, corporate headquarter's expenses and certain information technology infrastructure costs. These allocations among geographic management units are determined by senior management and not directly incurred by the geographic operations. In addition, other costs are incurred directly by these geographic management units based upon the location of the manufacturing plant or sales units, including manufacturing variances, product liability, warranty and sales discounts, which may not be associated with the geographic management unit of the ultimate end user sales location where revenues and margins are reported. Therefore, the reported results of each segment for the lift truck business cannot be considered stand-alone entities as all segments are inter-related and integrate into a single global lift truck business.
The Company reports the results of both Bolzoni and Nuvera as separate segments. Intercompany sales between Nuvera, Bolzoni and the lift truck business have been eliminated.
In 2019, as part of a separate segment. Nuvera was acquired on December 18, 2014 andplan to expand Bolzoni's capabilities in the United States, Bolzoni's North America attachment manufacturing moved into HYG's Sulligent, Alabama manufacturing facility. As a result, effective January 1, 2019, the Sulligent facility became a Bolzoni facility. Accordingly, the results of operationsthe Sulligent facility in 2019 have been included since the acquisition date. In addition, Nuvera recorded income of $0.6 million and $0.9 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, which was recognized in the line "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, related to an adjustment of contingent consideration from the acquisition.Bolzoni

from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, repealing the deduction for domestic production activities, allowing the immediate expensing of certain qualified capital expenditures, implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a one-time transition tax on certain unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries. As a result of the Tax Reform Act in 2017, the Company recorded provisional tax effects of $38.2 million, comprised of $33.1 million of tax expense due to the transition tax on the unremitted earnings and profits of non-U.S. subsidiaries and $5.1 million of tax expense due to the effects on the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017. The Company has since finalized its calculation of earnings and profits, including the amounts held in cash or other specified assets and its calculation of available foreign tax credits consistent with the additional regulatory guidance issued during 2018 and 2019, resulting in a reduction in tax expense of $4.4 million and an increase in tax expense of $0.1 million in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
After the utilization of existing tax credits, the Company will pay cash taxes, including state income taxes, of $17.7 million with respect to the transition tax payable over an installment period of eight years, beginning in 2018. During 2019, the Company has provided for the anticipated withholding taxes on unremitted non-U.S. earnings for which no reinvestment plan has been identified and that may be repatriated in the foreseeable future. As such, the Company has provided a deferred tax liability with respect to these earnings of $1.7 million at December 31, 2019.
While the Tax Reform Act provides for a territorial system, beginning in 2018, it includes new anti-deferral and anti-base erosion provisions, the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions and the base-erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) provisions.
The GILTI provisions require the Company to include non-U.S. earnings in excess of an allowable return on the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary’s tangible assets in its U.S. income tax return. The Company has elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred, and therefore has not provided any deferred tax amounts for GILTI.
The BEAT provisions in the Tax Reform Act create a minimum tax where a lower tax rate is applied to pre-tax income determined without the benefit of certain base-erosion payments made to related non-U.S. corporations. The base-erosion payments primarily consist of reimbursements for research and development performed by the Company's non-U.S. engineering centers. The Company will only be taxed under this regime if such minimum tax exceeds the regular U.S. corporate income tax. The Company recorded a BEAT expense of $1.4 million in 2019.
During 2017, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $9.1 million and tax expense of $1.4 million for unrecognized tax benefits, from an internal sale of a subsidiary between consolidated companies resulting in the repatriation of non-U.S. accumulated earnings taxed at higher rates. In addition, the Company settled various federal obligations in Brazil through the utilization of its federal net operating loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance was previously provided. As a result of the utilization of the underlying deferred tax assets, the Company released the associated valuation allowance previously provided of $4.7 million. This was partly offset by a $1.6 million valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assets in China where the Company has determined that such deferred tax assets no longer meet the more likely than not standard for realization.
The Company continually evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required. A valuation allowance is required where realization is determined to no longer meet the "more likely than not" standard. During 2014 and 2015, a significant downturn was experienced in the Company's Brazilian operations. This significant decrease in operations and actions taken by management to reduce its manufacturing activity to more appropriate levels, coupled with the continued low expectations in the near term for the Brazilian lift truck market and the continuing devaluation of the Brazilian real, caused the Company in 2015 to forecast a three-year cumulative loss for its Brazilian operations. Although the Company projects
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)
earnings over the longer term for its Brazilian operations, such longer-term forecasts are not sufficient positive evidence to support the future utilization of deferred tax assets when a three-year loss is determined. Accordingly, in 2015, the Company recorded a valuation allowance adjustment of $1.9 million against its deferred tax assets in Brazil as a discrete tax adjustment. The Company also recognized $2.4 million and $5.6 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, of valuation allowances related to pre-tax losses in Brazil included in its effective tax rate.
During 2016, the Company received a notice from the Italian Tax Authority approving the transfer of certain tax losses as part of an internal restructuring. As a result, the Company believes it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets for such losses of approximately $3.2 million will be realized in the foreseeable future, and has released the valuation allowance previously provided.
During 2015, the Company came to a tentative agreement in negotiating an Advance Pricing Agreement with the Australian Tax Authority. The terms of the agreement were finalized in 2016 and will extend through 2020. As a result of this agreement, in 2015, the Company released a portion of the valuation allowance of $4.4 million, related to the deferred tax asset that it expected would be utilized in the foreseeable future.
As of December 31, 2016, the cumulative unremitted earnings of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries are approximately $310 million. The Company repatriated earnings of its European subsidiaries of $25.1 million, $23.6 million and $20.3 million during 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As a result of the Bolzoni acquisition, the Company changed its previous reinvestment assertion; and consequently, all of the earnings of its European operations are now considered permanently reinvested and the previously provided deferred tax liability of $4.0 million is no longer required. It is impracticable to determine the total amount of unrecognized deferred taxes with respect to these permanently reinvested earnings; however, non-U.S. tax credits would be available to partially reduce the U.S. income taxes in the event of a distribution.
The Company has continued to provide a deferred tax liability on unremitted non-U.S. earnings for which no reinvestment plan has been identified and that may be repatriated in the foreseeable future. As such, the Company has provided a deferred tax liability with respect to these earnings of $0.4 million at December 31, 2016.

The establishment of a valuation allowance does not have an impact on cash, nor does such an allowance preclude the Company from using its loss carryforwards or other deferred tax assets in future periods. The tax net operating losses attributable to Brazil and Australia comprise a substantial portion of the non-U.S. net operating loss deferred tax assets and do not expire under local law.
During 20162019 and 2015,2018, the net valuation allowance provided against certain deferred tax assets increased by $0.7$0.5 million and $1.7decreased by $0.1 million, respectively. The change in the total valuation allowance in 20162019 and 20152018 included a net decreaseincrease in tax expense of $0.2$0.8 million and a net increase of $5.9$3.0 million, respectively, a net change in the overall U.S. dollar value of valuation allowances

HYSTER-YALE MATERIALS HANDLING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)
previously recorded in non-U.S. currencies and amounts recorded directly in equity of a net increasedecrease of $0.9$0.3 million and net decrease of $4.2$3.1 million in 20162019 and 2015,2018, respectively.
Based upon a review of historical earnings and trends, forecasted earnings and the relevant expiration of carryforwards, the Company believes the valuation allowances provided are appropriate. At December 31, 2016,2019, the Company had gross net operating loss carryforwards in U.S. jurisdictions of $2.4 million, U.S. state jurisdictions of $32.6$11.6 million and non-U.S. jurisdictions of $85.9 million$58.0 million.
The following is a reconciliation of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, defined as the aggregate tax effect of differences between the Company's tax return positions and the benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20162019, 20152018 and 20142017. Approximately $11.1$13.5 million, $3.815.1 million and $4.210.9 million of these amounts as of December 31, 20162019, 20152018 and 20142017, respectively, relate to permanent items that, if recognized, would impact the reported income tax rate. This amount differs from gross unrecognized tax benefits presented in the table below for December 31, 2016 and 2014due to the increase in U.S. federal income taxes which would occur upon the recognition of the state tax benefits included herein.

The Company records interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. The Company recorded a net increase of $0.1 million and $0.5 million during 20162019 and 20152018, and a net decrease of $0.1 million during 20142017 in interest and penalties. In addition, during 2016,2018, the balance of accrued interest and penalty was increased for uncertain tax positions related to business acquisitions by $7.7 million. During 2018, the total amount of interest and penalty was decreased by $0.5 million.million as a result of foreign currency translation into U.S. dollars. The total amount of interest and penalties accrued was $0.9$8.6 million, $0.3$8.5 million and $0.2$0.8 million as of December 31, 2016, 20152019, 2018 and 2014,2017, respectively.
The Company expects the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next twelve months; however, the change in unrecognized tax benefits which is reasonably possible within the next twelve months, is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.months. It is reasonably possible the Company will record unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months in the range of zeroup to $1.0$7.0 million resulting from the possible expiration of certain statutes of limitation and settlement of audits. If recognized, the previously unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as discrete tax benefits in the quarterinterim period in which the items are effectively settled. Approximately $4.3 million of the amount that may be recognized in the next twelve months relates to prior business acquisitions, and such amounts will be offset with the pretax reduction of the related indemnity receivable.
The tax returns of the Company and its non-U.S. subsidiaries are routinely examined by various taxing authorities. The Company has not been informed of any material assessment for which an accrual has not been previously provided and the Company would vigorously contest any material assessment. Management believes any potential adjustment would not materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In general, the Company operates in taxing jurisdictions that provide a statute of limitations period ranging from three to five years for the taxing authorities to review the applicable tax filings. The examination of U.S. federal tax returns for all years prior to 20132016 have been settled with the Internal Revenue Service or otherwise have essentially closed under the applicable statute of limitations. However, the Company has elected to voluntarily extend the statute of limitations for the U.S. federal tax return for 2012 at the request of its prior parent company such that attributes may be adjusted in limited circumstances. The Company is currentlyroutinely under examination in various state and non-U.S. jurisdictions and in most cases the statute of limitations has not been extended. The Company believes these examinations are routine in nature and are not expected to result in any material tax assessments.

NOTE 8—9—Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capitalfinance leases, were determined using current rates offered for similar obligations taking into account company credit risk. This valuation methodology is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2016,2019, the total carrying value and total fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capitalfinance leases, was $184.5 million.$266.0 million and $265.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 20152018, the total carrying value and total fair value of revolving credit agreements and long-term debt, excluding capitalfinance leases, was $32.1 million.$284.2 million and $281.0 million, respectively.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and derivatives. The large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographies mitigates concentration of credit risk on accounts receivable. To further reduce credit risk associated with accounts receivable, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers, but does not generally require advance payments or collateral. The Company enters into derivative contracts with high-quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis using significant observable inputs, which is Level 2 as defined in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a present value technique that incorporates the yield curves, foreign currency spot rates and foreign currency forward rates to value its derivatives, including its interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency exchange contracts, and also incorporates the effect of its Company and counterparty credit risk into the valuation.
Financial instruments held by the Company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, revolving credit agreements, long-term debt, interest rate swap agreements and forward non-U.S.foreign currency exchange contracts. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments or derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts hedge firm commitments and forecasted transactions relating to cash flows associated with sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company offsets fair value amounts related to foreign currency exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are effective as hedges are recorded in OCI. Deferred gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the gains or losses from the underlying transactions are recorded and are generally recognized in cost of sales.

Foreign Currency Derivatives: The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a total notional amount of $592.9$960.9 million at December 31, 20162019, primarily denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, Mexican pesos, Australian dollars, Swedish kroner, Brazilian real and Chinese renminbi. The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2018, primarily denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds, Swedish kroner, and Mexican pesos. The Company held forward foreign currency exchange contracts with total notional amounts of $634.7 million at December 31, 2015, primarily denominated in euros, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, Swedish kroner, British pounds, Mexican pesos, Chinese Renminbi, Brazilian Real and Australian dollars. The fair value of these contracts approximated a net liability of $22.7$19.8 million and $8.8$19.5 million at December 31, 20162019 and 20152018, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 20162019 and 20152018, there was no material ineffectiveness of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are generally used to hedge transactions expected to occur within the next 36 months. The mark-to-market effect of forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are considered effective as hedges has been included in OCI. Based on market valuations at December 31, 2016, $10.32019, $11.4 million of the amount of net deferred loss included in OCI at December 31, 20162019 is expected to be reclassified as a lossexpense into the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the next twelve months, as the transactions occur.
Interest Rate Derivatives: During the second quarter of 2014, the Company determined that the hedged forecasted transactions associated with its interest rate swap agreements were probable of not occurring. As such, the Company recognized a gain of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 related to the ineffectiveness of these contracts, which began on December 31, 2014 and extend to December 31, 2018, for a notional amount of $100.0 million.

NOTE 9—10—Retirement Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans: The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits based on years of service and average compensation during certain periods. The Company’s policy is to make contributions to fund these plans within the range allowed by applicable regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of publicly traded stocks and government and corporate bonds.
Pension benefits for employees covered under the Company’s U.S. and U.K. plans are frozen. Only certain grandfathered employees in the Netherlands still earn retirement benefits under defined benefit pension plans. All other eligible employees of the Company, including employees whose pension benefits are frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans.
During 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized a settlement loss of $0.9 million, $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, resulting from lump-sum distributions exceeding the total projected interest cost for the plan year for its U.S. pension plans.
The assumptions used in accounting for the defined benefit plans were as follows for the years ended December 31: |
| | | | | |
| | 2016 | | 2015 | | 2014 |
| United States Plans | | | | | |
| Weighted average discount rates | 3.75% | | 4.00% | | 3.65% |
| Expected long-term rate of return on assets | 7.50% | | 7.50% | | 7.75% |
| Non-U.S. Plans | | | | | |
| Weighted average discount rates | 0.86% - 2.50% | | 2.10% - 3.70% | | 1.80% - 3.60% |
| Rate of increase in compensation levels | 1.50% - 2.50% | | 2.00% - 2.50% | | 2.00% - 2.50% |
| Expected long-term rate of return on assets | 3.00% - 7.00% | | 3.00% - 7.00% | | 3.00% - 7.25% |

During 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized a settlement loss of $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, resulting from lump-sum distributions exceeding the total projected interest cost for the plan year for its U.S. pension plans.
The assumptions used in accounting for the defined benefit plans were as follows for the years ended December 31: |
| | | | | |
| | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2017 |
| United States Plans | | | | | |
| Weighted average discount rates | 3.02% | | 4.10% | | 3.40% |
| Expected long-term rate of return on assets | 7.50% | | 7.50% | | 7.50% |
| Non-U.S. Plans | | | | | |
| Weighted average discount rates | 0.37%-1.85% | | 1.13%-2.65% | | 0.88% - 2.40% |
| Rate of increase in compensation levels | 1.00%-2.50% | | 1.50%-2.50% | | 1.50% - 2.50% |
| Expected long-term rate of return on assets | 1.00%-7.00% | | 1.80%-7.00% | | 1.70% - 7.00% |
Each year, the assumptions used to calculate the benefit obligation are used to calculate the net periodic pension expense for the following year.

The expected long-term rate of return on defined benefit plan assets reflects management’s expectations of long-term rates of return on funds invested to provide for benefits included in the projected benefit obligations. The Company has established the expected long-term rate of return assumption for plan assets by considering the historical rates of return over a period of time that is consistent with the long-term nature of the underlying obligations of these plans as well as a forward-looking rate of return. The historical and forward-looking rates of return for each of the asset classes used to determine the Company's estimated rate of return assumption were based upon the rates of return earned or expected to be earned by investments in the equivalent benchmark market indices for each of the asset classes.
Expected returns for most of the Company's pension plans are based on a calculated market-related value of assets. Under this methodology, asset gains and losses resulting from actual returns that differ from the Company’s expected returns are recognized in the market-related value of assets ratably over three years.

NOTE 11—12—Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets, including assets recorded under capitalfinance leases, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Buildings are generally depreciated using a 20, 40 or 50-year life, improvements to land and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging up to 40 years and equipment is depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from three to 15 years. Capital grants received for the acquisition of equipment are recorded as reductions of the related equipment cost and reduce future depreciation expense. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.
The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment when changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon identification of indicators of impairment, assets and liabilities are grouped at the Company evaluates the carrying valuelowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or liabilities. The asset by comparinggroup would be considered impaired when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated from the use ofby the asset and its eventual disposition with the asset’s netgroup are less than carrying value. If the carrying value of an asset group is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount that the carrying value of the long-lived asset group exceeds its fair value. Fair value is estimated as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, in connection with the preparation of the Company's annual operating plan for 2018 and longer-term forecast, the Company identified indicators of impairment at Nuvera due to the extension of time expected to commercialize Nuvera's products and the related length of time needed to achieve break-even operating results and positive cash flows. Accordingly, the Company performed an impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of 2017 of Nuvera's long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives. Based on this analysis, it was determined that the fair value of these assets was less than the respective carrying amounts of such assets, and accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $4.9 million in the Nuvera segment, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The impairment charge reduced property, plant, and equipment by $3.7 million and intangible assets by $1.2 million. The estimated fair value of intangible assets with finite lives was determined using a relief from royalty method and property, plant and equipment was determined using a cost approach. These valuation methods use Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 12—13—Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of May 1st and between annual evaluations if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of certain events indicate potential impairment. The Company uses either a qualitative or quantitative analysis to determine whether fair value exceeds carrying value. Goodwill impairment testing for 20162019 was performed using a qualitativequantitative analysis by assessing certain trends and factors, including projected market outlook and growth rates, forecasted and actual sales and operating profit margins, discount rates, industry data and other relevant qualitative factors. Indefinite lived intangible assetfor each reporting unit. As part of the quantitative testing was performedprocess for 2016goodwill, the Company estimated fair values using a qualitative analysis.discounted cash flow approach from the perspective of a market participant. Significant estimates in the discounted cash flow approach are cash flow forecasts of the reporting units, the discount rate, the terminal business value and the projected income tax rate. The cash flow forecasts of the reporting units are based upon management’s long-term view of markets and are the forecasts that are used by senior management and the Board of Directors to evaluate operating performance. The discount rate utilized is management’s estimate of what the market’s weighted average cost of capital is for a company with a similar debt rating and stock volatility, as measured by beta. The projected income tax rates utilized are the statutory tax rates for the countries where each reporting unit operates. The terminal business value is determined by applying a business growth factor to the latest year for which a forecast exists. As part of the goodwill quantitative testing process, the Company evaluates whether there are reasonably likely changes to management’s estimates that would have a material impact on the results of the goodwill impairment testing.
The annual testing indicatedof goodwill for impairment was conducted as of May 1, 2019. The fair value of each reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value and thus, no impairment exists.
The indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired.are the Bolzoni trademarks. Fair values used in testing for potential impairment of the trademarks are calculated by applying an estimated market value royalty rate to the forecasted revenues of the businesses that utilize those assets. The assumed cash flows from this calculation are discounted using Bolzoni’s weighted average cost of capital. The annual testing of indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment was conducted as of May 1, 2019. The fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets was in excess of its carrying value and thus, no impairment exists.

NOTE 14—15—Leasing Arrangements
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, "Leases" ("new lease standard"). The new lease standard was adopted using the optional transition method approach that allows for the cumulative effect adjustment to be recorded without restating prior periods. The Company has elected the practical expedient package related to the identification, classification and accounting for initial direct costs whereby prior conclusions do not have to be reassessed for leases that commenced before the effective date. As the Company will not reassess such conclusions, the Company has not adopted the practical expedient to use hindsight to determine the likelihood of whether a lease will be extended or terminated or whether a purchase option will be exercised.
The Company's adoption of the new lease standard included new processes and controls regarding asset financing transactions, financial reporting and a system-related implementation required for the new lease standard. The Company's accounting for finance leases (formerly referred to as capital leases prior to the adoption of the new lease standard) remained substantially unchanged. The impact of the adoption of the new lease standard included the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities. The adoption of the new lease standard resulted in additional net lease assets and net lease liabilities of approximately $82.7 million and $80.8 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The $80.8 million is net of $6.2 million of lease related liabilities which had been recorded under previous accounting standards and have been reclassified as a contra-

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)
asset under the new standard. In addition, a cumulative adjustment was recorded to increase retained earnings by $1.4 million as of January 1, 2019, for certain sales-leaseback transactions for which profit recognition was deferred previously under accounting standards but is no longer deferred under the new lease standard. The new lease standard did not materially affect the Company's consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019.
As of January 1, 2019, the cumulative effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of the new lease standard was as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Balance at December 31, 2018 | | Adjustments due to New Lease Standard | | Balance at January 1, 2019 |
| Other non-current assets | $ | 36.4 |

|
In accordance with the new lease standard, the Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease and the classification of that lease, if applicable, at inception. The Company has elected to not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for short-term leases (leases with an initial term of twelve months or less). For contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected not to allocate the contract consideration, and to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within the operating leases are generally not determinable and the Company has obtained rates from third-party financiers for relevant geographies, currencies and lease terms to determine the incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption of the new lease standard and at the inception of new leases. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments, offset by lease incentives. Certain of the Company's leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is also considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability unless it is reasonably certain the Company will not exercise the option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had the following amounts recorded on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet: |

NOTE 15—16—Product Warranties
The Company provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally for six to twelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 hours. For certain series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty of one to two years or 2,000 or 4,000 hours. For components in some series of lift trucks, the Company provides a standard warranty of two to three years or 4,000 to 6,000 hours. The Company estimates the costs which may be incurred under its standard warranty programs and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.
In addition, the Company sells separately-pricedseparately priced extended warranty agreements that generally provide a warranty for an additional two to five years or up to 2,400 to 10,000 hours. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which the Company does business. Revenue received for the sale of extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized in the same manner as the costs incurred to perform under the warranty contracts.
The Company also maintains a quality enhancement program under which it provides for specifically identified field product improvements in its warranty obligation. Accruals under this program are determined based on estimates of the potential number of claims and the cost of those claims based on historical costs.
The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Factors that affect the warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim.

Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the likelihood is remote that costs will be incurred materially in excess of accruals already recognized.

The Company previously filed legal actions in Brazil to recover certain social integration and social contribution taxes paid over gross sales, including ICMS receipts, which is a form of state value added tax. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company’s Brazil legal advisors notified the Company that they received judicial notification in April 2019 that the Superior Judicial Court rendered a favorable decision on the case granting the Company the right to recover, through offset of federal tax liabilities, amounts of overpayments collected by the government from 1999 to date. The judicial court decision is final and not subject to appeals. Based on analysis performed to date, the current estimate of the refund calculated on a gross basis is approximately 100 million Brazilian reais, or approximately $25 million.
The amount and ultimate timing of realization of these recoveries is dependent upon administrative approvals, generation of federal tax liabilities in Brazil eligible for offset and potential impacts of future legislative actions within Brazil, all of which are uncertain. Based upon a probability weighted analysis, including a review of historical earnings and trends, forecasted earnings, the relevant expiration of carryforwards and the potential of selling the credits at a significant discount, the Company determined the net realizable value of the credits is approximately $8 million Brazilian reais, or $2 million. These credits are recorded on the line “Cost of sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company currently expects to realize this amount within the next one to five years. Future legislative changes in Brazil, changes in the Company’s forecasted earnings or resolution of other uncertainties could impact the estimate of the amount realizable for these tax credits.
The Brazilian tax authorities have sought clarification before the Brazilian Supreme Court of certain matters, including the amount of these credits (i.e., the gross rate or net credit amount), and certain other matters that could affect the rights of Brazilian taxpayers regarding these credits, all of which would materially impact the realization of the credits. Based on the opinions of our tax and legal advisors, we have not accrued any amounts related to potential future litigation regarding these credits.
NOTE 17—18—Guarantees
Under various financing arrangements for certain customers, including independent retail dealerships, the Company provides recourse or repurchase obligations such that it would be obligated in the event of default by the customer. Terms of the third-party financing arrangements for which the Company is providing recourse or repurchase obligations generally range from one to five years. Total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at December 31, 20162019 and 20152018 were $149.3$179.7 million and $179.8192.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 20162019, losses anticipated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations were not significant and reserves have been provided for such losses based on historical experience in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company generally retains a security interest in the related assets financed such that, in the event the Company would become obligated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations, the Company would take title to the assets financed. The fair value of collateral held at December 31, 20162019 was approximately $195.6$238.4 million based on Company estimates. The Company estimates the fair value of the collateral using

information regarding the original sales price, the current age of the equipment and general market conditions that influence the value of both new and used lift trucks. The Company also regularly monitors the external credit ratings of the entities for which it has provided recourse or repurchase obligations. As of December 31, 20162019, the Company did not believe there was a significant risk of non-payment or non-performance of the obligations by these entities; however, there can be no assurance that the risk may not increase in the future. In addition, the Company has an agreement with WF to limit its exposure to losses at certain eligible dealers. Under this agreement, losses related to $33.5$31.0 million of recourse or repurchase obligations for these certain eligible dealers are limited to 7.5% of their original loan balance, or $7.1$11.3 million as of December 31, 20162019. The $33.5$31.0 million is included in the $149.3$179.7 million of total amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at December 31, 20162019.
Generally, the Company sells lift trucks through its independent dealer network or directly to customers. These dealers and customers may enter into a financing transaction with HYGFS or other unrelated third parties. HYGFS provides debt and lease financing to both dealers and customers. On occasion, the credit quality of a customer or credit concentration issues within WF may require the Company to provide recourse or repurchase obligations of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through HYGFS. At December 31, 20162019, approximately $130.3$144.8 million of the Company's total recourse or repurchase obligations of $149.3$179.7 million related to transactions with HYGFS. In connection with the joint venture agreement, the Company also provides a guarantee to WF for 20% of HYGFS’ debt with WF, such that the Company would become liable under the terms of HYGFS’ debt agreements with WF in the case of default by HYGFS. At December 31, 20162019, loans from WF to HYGFS totaled $860.7 million.$1.2 billion. Although the Company’s contractual guarantee was $172.1$239.3 million, the loans by WF to HYGFS are secured by HYGFS’ customer receivables, of which the Company guarantees $130.3$144.8 million.
