Retirement Savings Plan

Manitowoc, Wisconsin

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”)) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule of Schedule H, Line 4i — Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2014 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan financial statements.  The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but includes supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information.  In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedules is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the Company’s contributions, and an allocation of plan earnings/losses and is reduced for withdrawals and an allocation of investment expenses (based on account balances and participant investment elections).  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Note 2                                    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).

Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.  However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan.  The statements of net assets available for benefits present the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value.  The statements of changes in net assets available for benefits are prepared on a contract value basis for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are commingled with another plan of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. in The Manitowoc Company, Inc. Employees’ Profit Sharing Trust (the “Master Trust”).

Investments are reported at fair value.  Fair value is 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 Plan’s Committee determines the Plan’s valuation policies utilizing information provided by its investment advisors and trustee.  See Note 4 for discussion of fair value measurements.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net appreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

Notes Receivable From Participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.  No allowance for credit losses has been recorded at December 31, 2014 or 2013.  If a participant ceases to make loan payments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be in default and the participant has reached a distributable event, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses and audit fees incurred by the Plan are paid from the assets of the Master Trust.  Fees related to the administration of notes receivable from participants are charged directly to the participant’s account and are included in administrative expenses.  Investment related expenses are either paid directly from the assets of the Master Trust or through revenue sharing and included in administrative expenses.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.

Note 3                                    Investments in the Master Trust

The Plan’s investments are in the Master Trust which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and other retirement plans sponsored by The Manitowoc Company, Inc.  Each participating retirement plan has an undivided interest in the Master Trust.  The assets of the Master Trust are held by BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (“BMO”).

The value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust plus actual contributions and allocated investment income (loss), actual distributions, and allocated administrative expenses.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was approximately 21% and 23%, respectively.

Transfers in and out of the Master Trust and certain administrative expenses are specifically identified with the particular plan.  Investment income (loss) and certain administrative expenses relating to the Master Trust are allocated to the individual plans based on the ratio of the investment balances of the plans.

Note 4                                    Fair Value Measurements

The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 820 are described as follows:

Level 1                                Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

Level 2                                Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

·                  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

·                  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

·                  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

·                  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3                                Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 4                                    Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.  There have been no changes in methodologies used at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Common/collective trust funds:  Valued at the net asset value (NAV) of units held by the Plan at year-end, provided by the administrator of the fund.  The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets of the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of units outstanding.  The NAV’s unit price is quoted on a private market that is not active; however, the unit price is based on the underlying investments which are traded on an active market.  The Capital Preservation Fund is a common/collective trust which holds a guaranteed investment contract.  The guaranteed investment contract is valued at fair value by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations considering the creditworthiness of the issuer.  The Manitowoc Company Aggressive Growth Fund, Manitowoc Company Conservative Growth Fund, and Manitowoc Company Moderate Growth Fund each hold units of the Capital Preservation Fund.

Mutual funds:  Valued at the NAV provided by the administrator of the fund.  The NAV is a quoted price in an active market.

Money market fund:  Valued using $1 for the NAV.  The NAV is a quoted price in an active market.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Note 5                                    Net Asset Value Per Share (Continued)

(a)         The strategy of this investment is to diversify investments equally between fixed income and equity securities.  The strategy invests 45% of its assets in fixed income securities and 55% of the assets in equity securities.  The objective of this asset class is balanced between capital appreciation and preservation of principal.  Periodically, this fund will be rebalanced back to its stated Investment Policy objective of 45% fixed income securities and 55% equity securities.

(b)         This is a single stock portfolio that tracks the performance of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. common stock.  The price of the stock can fluctuate from day to day or month to month, and is designed for individuals who invest for the long term and can tolerate short-term volatility.

(c)          The strategy of this investment is the preservation of capital, as well as to provide a competitive level of income over time with the preservation of capital.  To achieve its investment objectives, the manager will invest primarily in the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II (MIP II) Fund.  MIP II will be supplemented with the BMO Prime Money Market Fund (Class Y) to help to provide additional liquidity in order to meet regular withdrawals.

Note 6                                    Party-in-Interest Transactions

Transactions involving The Manitowoc Company, Inc. common stock and notes receivable from participants are considered party-in-interest transactions.  These transactions are not, however, considered prohibited transactions under 29 CFR 408(b) of ERISA regulations.

Certain plan investments are common/collective trust funds, money market fund, and guaranteed investment contracts managed by BMO.  BMO is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.  In addition, the Plan pays certain administrative expenses to BMO, as described in Note 2.  Fees paid by the Plan to the trustee directly for administrative expenses amounted to $152,036 and $65,367 for 2014 and 2013, respectively, and fees paid to the trustee through revenue sharing amounted to $47,457 and $115,749 for 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Plan also pays fees directly to Alpha Investment Consulting Group for investment advisory services in the amount of $2,042 and $8,111 for 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Plan also paid fees directly to Morgan Stanley for investment advisory services in the amount of $15,000 for 2014.  The plan audit paid fees to Wipfli LLP in the amount of $10,615 and $4,871 for the plan years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 7                                    Plan Termination

The employer intends to continue the Plan indefinitely; however, the employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time.  In the event of termination, all amounts credited to participants’ accounts shall become 100% vested and distributed to participants in accordance with the Plan’s provisions.

Note 8                                    Tax-Exempt Status of the Plan

On September 26, 2013, the IRS declared that the Plan is qualified pursuant to Section 401 of the IRC.  Plan management believes any amendments and events since the effective date of the last IRS determination letter do not affect the qualified status of the Plan.  Accordingly, the Plan is exempt from federal and state income taxes under current provisions of their respective laws.

GAAP requires plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

Note 9                                    Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

Note 10                             Risks and Uncertainties

The Master Trust’s investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

Note 11                             Voluntary Correction Program

The Company filed a Voluntary Correction Program (VCP) submission with the IRS on January 31, 2011, to address the manner in which the Plan’s hardship and in-service distributions were approved for plan participants.  These items did not have a material impact on the Plan’s net assets available for benefits, and the Company does not expect the VCP submission to affect the Plan’s tax status.  As of December 31, 2014, the submission is still outstanding.
