Alamo Group Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Unaudited)
September 30, 20172019
 
1.  Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

General

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Alamo Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2019.  The balance sheet at December 31, 20162018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018 (the "2016"2018 10-K").


In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This update is effective as of January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2017. We have completed our evaluation of the provisions of this standard and concluded that our adoption will not change the amount or timing of revenue recognized by us, nor will it affect our financial position.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” as part of its simplification initiative. ASU 2015-11 amends existing guidance for measuring inventories. This amendment requires the Company to measure inventories recorded using the first-in, first-out method at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This amendment does not change the methodology for measuring inventories recorded using the last-in, first-out method. This amendment was effective prospectively for the CompanyPronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2017. The adoption of the changes did not materially affect our financial position or results of our operations.2019


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.”“Leases (Topic 842)". This update requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Similar to current guidance, the update continues to differentiate between finance leases and operating leases, however this distinction now primarily relates to differences in the manner of expense recognition over time and in the classification of lease payments in the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance leaves the accounting for leases by lessors largely unchanged from existing GAAP. Entities areThe guidance became effective for us on January 1, 2019. As a lessee, this standard primarily impacted our accounting for long-term real estate and equipment leases, for which we recognized right-of-use assets of $7,747,000 and a corresponding lease liability of $7,868,000 on our consolidated balance sheet.

We adopted these provisions on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method that permits us to apply the new disclosure requirements in 2019 and continue to present comparative period information as required under FASB ASC Topic 840, "Leases". We did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which, among other things, allowed us to not account for lease and non-lease components separately for most of our asset classes and to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the right-of-use assets and liabilities. Adoption of the standards had no impact on results of operations or liquidity.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", to allow reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"). Upon adoption of the ASU, entities will be required to usedisclose a modified retrospective adoption, with certain relief provisions, for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginningdescription of the earliest comparativeaccounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. The standard is required to be adopted for periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption available for any set of financial statements that have yet to be issued or made available for issuance including retrospectively for any period in which the effect of the change is the U.S. corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements when adopted.statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Statement Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”, which modifies the disclosures requirements on fair value measurements. Among other things, the amendments add disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 fair value measurements and requires additional disclosures on unobservable inputs associated with Level 3 assets. The guidance will become effective for us on January 1, 2019.2020. The impacts that adoption of the ASU is expected to have on our consolidatedfinancial disclosures is being evaluated.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Statement Update (ASU) No. 2018-14, “Compensation, Defined Benefit Plans", which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The update removes certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The guidance will become effective for us on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted for any financial statements and related disclosures are being evaluated. Additionally, wethat have not yet determined the effectbeen issued. The impacts that adoption of the ASU is expected to have on our internal control over financial reporting or other changes in business practices and processes.disclosures is being evaluated.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” to simplify the accounting and reporting for employee share-based payments. This amendment, among other changes, allows for a policy election such that an entity can continue to estimate forfeitures at the time of the grant or can account for forfeitures as they occur. The amendment requires a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. In addition, the amendment eliminates the requirement to reclassify excess tax benefits from operating activities to financing activities. The effect of the change on prior period has been retrospectively adjusted to make the cash flow statements comparable. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017.




In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” to improve information on credit losses for financial instruments. The ASU replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted beginning in fiscal years beginning after December 18,15, 2018. The Company hasdoes not yet evaluated the effectexpect the adoption of this ASU willto have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” to address diversity in practice on certain specific cash flow issues. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early-adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017 and the adoption did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” to simplify how an entity is required to test for goodwill impairment. As a result, an entity will perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the carrying value of a reporting unit against the fair value and will record an impairment for the amount that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early-adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017 and will apply the new guidance prospectively on goodwill impairment tests.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” to provide income statement classification guidance for components of the net benefit cost. The ASU requires entities to disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the other components of net benefit cost (the “other components”) and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement. Furthermore,  entities should present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if such a subtotal is presented. The ASU is to be adopted retrospectively and is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and may be early adopted. The Company expects that adoption will result in a reclassification of the non-service components of pension and post-retirement costs, primarily from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses to other income (loss) on the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s pensions, including net periodic cost, is disclosed in Note 13 of the 2016 10-K.

2. Accounting Policies


ThereLeases

The following policy resulted from our adoption of the provisions of ASC Topic 842, “Leases", effective January 1, 2019, as described above in “Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2019".

If we determine that an arrangement is or contains a lease, we recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have been no changeselected to not account for the lease and non-lease components separately for most of our asset classes with the exception of real-estate. We have also elected to exclude all lease agreements with an initial term of 12 months or additions to our significant accounting policies described in Note 1 toless from the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2016 10-K.lease recognition requirements.

Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") that instituted fundamental changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("the Code").

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we revised our initial provisional amount recorded at December 31, 2017 for the transitional tax on the deemed repatriation of the accumulated earnings and profits of our international subsidiaries and the impact of the federal tax rate change on the value of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The transition tax liability on the deemed repatriation decreased $4.2 million, primarily as a result of additional analysis performed over our historical foreign earnings and foreign source income which provided increased ability to credit foreign taxes associated with the deemed repatriation. In addition, the impact of the rate change on deferred increased by $1.2 million due to adjustments resulting from the filing of our 2017 federal income tax return. The net benefit to income taxes reduced the Company's effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 to 11.8%, as well as reducing the effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2018 to 21.0%.

14.  Contingent Matters
  
The Company is subject to various legal actions which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. The most prevalent of such actions relate to product liability, which is generally covered by insurance after various self-insured retention amounts. While amounts claimed might be substantial and the ultimate liability with respect to such litigation cannot be determined at this time, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations; however, the ultimate resolution cannot be determined at this time.

Like other manufacturers, the Company is subject to a broad range of federal, state, local and foreign laws and requirements, including those concerning air emissions, discharges into waterways, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and waste materials, as well as the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances at the Company’s facilities and off-site disposal locations, workplace safety and equal employment opportunities. These laws and regulations are constantly changing, and it is impossible to predict with accuracy the effect that changes to such laws and regulations may have on the Company in the future. Like other industrial concerns, the Company’s manufacturing operations entail the risk of noncompliance, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs or other liabilities as a result thereof.

15.  Leases
The Company knowsleases office space and equipment under various operating and finance leases, which generally are expected to be renewed or replaced by other leases. The components of lease cost were as follows:

17.  Subsequent Events

On October 24, 2019, the Company reported that it had completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital shares of Morbark, LLC (Morbark), a former portfolio company of Stellex Capital Management, for a total consideration of approximately $352 million, on a debt free basis and subject to certain post-closing adjustments.

Morbark is a leading manufacturer of equipment and aftermarket parts for the forestry tree maintenance, biomass, land management and recycling markets. Their products include a broad range of tree chippers, grinders, flails, debarkers, stump grinders, mulchers and brush cutters, plus related aftermarket spare and wear parts. This includes the products sold under the Morbark, Rayco, Denis Cimaf and Boxer brand names. Morbark products are sold through a network of independent dealers with about 300 sales locations. Their products complement our core business and they've grown steadily in a sector which has performed well. We intend to maintain the Morbark brands in the market place. Morbark, with approximately 720 employees, is based in Winn, Michigan, with subsidiary operations in Wooster, Ohio and Roxton Falls, Quebec.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company expanded its credit facility from $250 million to $650 million to accommodate this event and the ongoing needs of the combined entities. The new credit facility has a five-year duration and consists of a $300 million term loan (used to finance the acquisition) and a $350 million revolving line of credit.

For the first nine months of 2017,2019, the Company's net income increasedincome decreased by approximately 26.6%6.3% when compared to the same period in 2016.2018. This increasedecrease was primarily the result of sales growth in all three ofa favorable one-time adjustment to our prior year tax provision related to new tax legislation. Negatively affecting the Company's Divisions as well asperformance during the first nine months of 2019 was the continued improvementsoft market conditions in production efficiencies, controlthe agricultural market, which impacted our North American agricultural sales. Also, while higher material costs hurt profitability during the first quarter of operating expenses2019, steel costs have dropped during the second and third quarters, although this positive effect on our margins has been more than offset by unfavorable sales mix and lower effective tax rates. Also contributing to the increase to a lesser extent, were the acquisitions of Santa Izabel and Old Dominion completedproduction in June of 2017 and the acquisition of RPM, which was completed in August of 2017. Negatively influencing both our sales and profits for the nine month period was the effect of the currency translation rates on our non-U.S. results. Alamo'sAgricultural Division.

The Company's Industrial Division experienced a 3.8%10.5% increase in sales for the first nine months of 2017 which includes $7.9 million in net sales from Old Dominion and RPM.

Sales across all Industrial product groups, with the exception of mowing equipment which was down, outperformed during the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Agricultural sales were updown in the first nine months of 20172019 by 8.9%6.2% compared to the first nine months of 20162018 as a result of a broad applicabilitycontinued weak demand for our products despite overalldue to soft agricultural market conditions. Sales from the recently acquired Santa Izabel business contributed $3.7 million forconditions and declining farm incomes. Also negatively impacting results was a shutdown during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017.2019 of the Division's largest manufacturing facility for several days to install an upgrade to its paint system and heavy rains and flooding throughout the mid-west part of the U.S. that occurred during the second quarter. European sales for the first nine months of 20172019 were up in U.S. dollars by 1.7%23.2% compared to the same period in 2016 primarily as a result2018, mainly due to the acquisition of increased demand for productsDutch Power.

Repatriated funds will initially be used to reduce funded debt levels under the Company's current credit facility with certain lenders underand subsequently used to fund working capital, capital investments and acquisitions company-wide.

On October 24, 2019, the Company, as Borrower, and each of its domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement ("(the Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement provides the Agreement"). TheCompany with the ability to request loans and other financial obligations in an aggregate commitments from lenders underamount of up to $650,000,000.

Up to request an increase$350,000,000 is available under the Credit Agreement pursuant to a Revolver Facility which terminates in aggregate commitments of up to an additional $50,000,000.5 years. The Agreement requires the Company to maintain varioustwo financial covenants, including a minimum earnings before interest and tax to interest expense ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum asset coverage ratio. The Agreement also contains various covenants relating to limitations on indebtedness, limitations on investments and acquisitions, limitations on sale of properties and limitations on liens and capital expenditures. The Agreement also contains other customary covenants, representations and events of defaults. Effective December 20, 2016, the Company amended it's revolving credit facility to extend the termination date, reduce LIBOR interest margin and to modify certain financial and other covenants in order to meet the ongoing needs of the Company's business and to allow for greater flexibility in relation to future acquisitions. The expiration date of the revolving credit facilityTerm Facility and the Revolver Facility is December 20, 2021.October 24, 2024. As of SeptemberOctober 30, 2017, $126,000,0002019, $510,000,000 was outstanding under the Agreement. On SeptemberOctober 30, 2017, $1,607,0002019, $4,152,000 of the revolver capacity was committed to irrevocable standby letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business as required by vendors' contracts resulting in $122,393,000$133,964,000 in available borrowings. As of September 30, 2017, theThe Company wasis in compliance with the covenants under the Agreement.

Management believes the Agreement and the Company’s ability to internally generate funds from operations should be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, future challenges affecting the banking industry and credit markets in general could potentially cause changes to credit availability, which creates a level of uncertainty.


Critical Accounting Estimates


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on 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 these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Critical Accounting Policies


An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.  Management believes that of the Company's significant accounting policies, which are set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on2018 Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the "2016 Form 10-K"), the policies relating to the business combinations, allowance for doubtful accounts, sales discounts, inventories-obsolete and slow moving, warranty, and goodwill and other intangible assets involved a higher degree of judgment and complexity. There have been no material changes to the nature of estimates, assumptions and levels of


subjectivity and judgment related to critical accounting estimates disclosed in Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the Company's 20162018 Form 10-K.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
 
The Company is exposed to various market risks.  Market risks are the potential losses arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates.  The Company does not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.


Foreign Currency Risk      


International Sales
 
A portion of the Company’s operations consists of manufacturing and sales activities in international jurisdictions. The Company primarily manufactures its products in the U.S., U.K., France, Canada, Brazil, Australia and Australia.the Netherlands.  The Company sells its products primarily in the functional currency within the markets where the products are produced, but certain sales from the Company's U.K. and Canadian operations are denominated in other foreign currencies.  As a result, the Company’s financials, specifically the value of its foreign assets, could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the other markets in which the subsidiaries of the Company distribute their products.


To mitigate the short-term effect of changes in currency exchange rates on the Company’s functional currency-based sales, the Company’s U.K. subsidiaries regularly enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge approximately 90% of its future net foreign currency collections over a period of six months.  As of September 30, 2017,2019, the Company had $1,566,000$903,000 outstanding in forward exchange contracts related to accounts receivable.  A 15% fluctuation in exchange rates for these currencies would change the fair value of these contracts by approximately $235,000.$135,000.  However, since these contracts hedge foreign currency denominated transactions, any change in the fair value of the contracts should be offset by changes in the underlying value of the transaction being hedged.


Exposure to Exchange Rates
 
The Company translates the assets and liabilities of foreign-owned subsidiaries at rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting period. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The total foreign currency translation adjustment for the current quarter increaseddecreased stockholders’ equity by $7,452,000.$9,791,000.


The Company’s earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies, predominately in Europe and Canada, as a result of the sales of its products in international markets.  Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against the earnings effects of such fluctuations.  The result of a uniform 10% strengthening or 10% decrease in the value of the dollar relative to the currencies in which the Company’s sales are denominated would result in a change in gross profit of $4,836,000$6,558,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2017.2019.  This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar.  In addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, which include a changed dollar value of the resulting sales, changes in exchange rates may also affect the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors’ products become more or less attractive.  The Company’s sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in sales levels or local currency prices. 


In March 2019, the Company entered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps and designated these swaps to hedge a portion of its net investment in a euro functional currency denominated subsidiary against foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts involve the exchange of fixed U.S. dollars with fixed euro interest payments periodically over the life of the contracts and an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. The fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps include €40 million ($45 million) maturing December 2021.

Interest Rate Risk


The Company’s long-term debt bears interest at variable rates.  Accordingly, the Company’s net income is affected by changes in interest rates.  Assuming the current level of borrowings at variable rates and a two percentage point change for the third quarter 20172019 average interest rate under these borrowings, the Company’s interest expense would have changed by approximately $630,000.$750,000.  In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management could take actions to mitigate its exposure.  However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects this analysis assumes no such actions.  Further this analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

Item 1. - Legal Proceedings


For a description of legal proceedings, see Note 1314 Contingent Matters to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. - Risk Factors


ThereWe may not be able to realize the potential or strategic benefits of the acquisitions we complete, or we may not successfully address problems encountered in connection with acquisitions.

Acquisitions are an important part of our growth strategy and we have completed a number of acquisitions over the past several years. To date in 2019, we completed three acquisitions, namely, Dutch Power, Dixie Chopper, and Morbark, with Morbark being the most recently completed and most significant. Acquisitions can be difficult, time-consuming, and pose a number of risks, including:

Potential negative impact on our earnings per share;
Failure of acquired products to achieve projected sales;
Problems in integrating the acquired products with our existing and/or new products;
Potential downward pressure on operating margins due to lower operating margins of acquired businesses, increased headcount costs and other expenses associated with adding and supporting new products;
Difficulties in retaining and integrating key employees;
Failure to realize expected synergies including anticipated revenue benefits and/or cost savings ;
Disruption of ongoing business operations, including diversion of management’s attention and uncertainty for employees and customers, particularly during the post-acquisition integration process; and
Potential negative impact on our relationships with customers, distributors and vendors.

If we do not manage these risks, the acquisitions that we complete may have an adverse effect on our business, our results of operations or financial condition.

Other than as set forth under this Item 1A, there have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 20162018 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018.
