Unless otherwise indicated, Terex Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is hereinafter referred to as “Terex,” the “Registrant,” “us,” “we,” “our” or the “Company.”

Forward-Looking Information

Certain information in this Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding future events or our future financial performance that involve certain contingencies and uncertainties, including those discussed below in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contingencies and Uncertainties.”  In addition, when included in this Quarterly Report or in documents incorporated herein by reference, the words “may,” “expects,” “should,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates” and the negatives thereof and analogous or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. We have based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and projections about future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. Such statements are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include, among others:

our business is cyclical and weak general economic conditions affect the sales of our products and financial results;
our need to comply with restrictive covenants contained in our debt agreements;
our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations and operate our business;
our ability to access the capital markets to raise funds and provide liquidity;
our business is sensitive to government spending;
our business is highly competitive and is affected by our cost structure, pricing, product initiatives and other actions taken by competitors;
our retention of key management personnel;
the financial condition of suppliers and customers, and their continued access to capital;
our providing financing and credit support for some of our customers;
we may experience losses in excess of recorded reserves;
the carrying value of our goodwill could become impaired;
our ability to obtain parts and components from suppliers on a timely basis at competitive prices;
our business is global and subject to changes in exchange rates between currencies, commodity price changes, regional economic conditions and trade restrictions;
our operations are subject to a number of potential risks that arise from operating a multinational business, including compliance with changing regulatory environments, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other similar laws, and political instability;
a material disruption to one of our significant facilities;
possible work stoppages and other labor matters;
compliance with changing laws and regulations, particularly environmental and tax laws and regulations;
litigation, product liability claims, intellectual property claims, class action lawsuits and other liabilities;
our ability to comply with an injunction and related obligations imposed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”);
disruption or breach in our information technology systems; and
other factors.

Actual events or our actual future results may differ materially from any forward-looking statement due to these and other risks, uncertainties and significant factors. The forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and the forward-looking statements contained in documents incorporated herein by reference speak only as of the date of the respective documents. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

TEREX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Terex Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to be included in full-year financial statements.  The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 25, 2017.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include accounts of Terex Corporation, its majority-owned subsidiaries and other controlled subsidiaries (“Terex” or the “Company”).  The Company consolidates all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, applies the equity method of accounting for investments in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence and applies the cost method for all other investments.  All intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, adjustments considered necessary for the fair statement of these interim financial statements have been made.  Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments consist only of those of a normal recurring nature.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 include $3.9 million and $6.0 million, respectively, which were not immediately available for use.  These consist primarily of cash balances held in escrow to secure various obligations of the Company.

Reclassifications. See discussion below for reclassification and cumulative effect adjustment impacts related to adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” and ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Implemented in 2017

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by using only the lower of cost or net realizable value. The ASU defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017. Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-05”). ASU 2016-05 provides guidance clarifying that novation of a derivative contract (i.e. a change in counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedge accounting relationship. The Company adopted ASU 2016-05 on January 1, 2017. Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-06 simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options by clarifying that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. The Company adopted ASU 2016-06 on January 1, 2017. Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


7



In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323),” (“ASU 2016-07”). ASU 2016-07 eliminates the retroactive adjustments to an investment qualifying for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence by the investor. The Company adopted ASU 2016-07 on January 1, 2017. Adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” (“ASU 2016-09”). As required by ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies recognized on the vesting date of restricted stock awards are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a component of the provision for income taxes and was adopted on a prospective basis. In addition, ASU 2016-09 requires that the excess tax benefit be removed from the overall calculation of diluted shares. The impact on diluted earnings per share for adoption of this provision was not material. As required by ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits recognized on stock-based compensation expense are now classified as an operating activity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows versus previously classified as a financing activity. The Company has elected to apply this provision on a prospective basis, so no prior periods have been adjusted. ASU 2016-09 increases the amount of shares an employer can withhold for tax purposes without triggering liability accounting, which had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-09 requires all cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares to be presented as a financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, with retrospective application required. As a result, net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased by $9.5 million with a corresponding increase to net cash used in financing activities. Finally, ASU 2016-09 allows for the option to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating expected forfeitures over the service period. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and the net cumulative effect of this change was recognized as a $0.6 million increase to additional paid in capital, a $0.2 million increase to deferred tax assets and a $0.4 million reduction to retained earnings as of January 1, 2017.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” (“ASU 2016-15”).  ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting by clarifying existing principles in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and provides specific guidance on certain cash flow classification issues.  The effective date for ASU 2016-15 is the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and early adoption is permitted. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-15 effective January 1, 2017. Adoption of this standard required the Company to classify cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs as cash outflows for financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As a result, net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $36.4 million with a corresponding increase to net cash used in financing activities on the statement of cash flows. The impact for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was immaterial.

Accounting Standards to be Implemented

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive. ASU 2014-09 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. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date”, which amends ASU 2014-09. As a result, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” (“ASU 2016-08”); ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” (“ASU 2016-10”); ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” (“ASU 2016-12”); and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2016-20”), which are intended to provide additional guidance and clarity to ASU 2014-09. The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 along with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “New Revenue Standards”).

The New Revenue Standards may be applied using one of two retrospective application methods: (1) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented, or (2) a modified retrospective approach that presents a cumulative effect as of the adoption date and additional required disclosures. The Company plans to adopt the New Revenue Standards in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. During the third quarter of 2017, we substantially completed our evaluation of the impact of the New Revenue Standards and do not expect adoption to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. We reached conclusions on key accounting assessments related to the standard, including our assessment of the impact of accounting for costs incurred to obtain a contract, goods or services immaterial in the context of the contract and additional disclosure requirements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," (“ASU 2016-01”). The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. An entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize an ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months and requires the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. While the Company continues to assess the effect of adoption, it currently believes that ASU 2016-02 may have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements with the most significant changes likely related to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The guidance in this new standard replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and early adoption is permitted after 2018. ASU 2016-13 will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash,” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires a statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-18 will be applied retrospectively. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides guidance in ascertaining whether a collection of assets and activities is considered a business. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and early adoption is permitted for specific transactions. ASU 2017-01 will be applied prospectively. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2017-04 will be applied prospectively. The Company plans to early adopt ASU 2017-04 in the first quarter of 2018. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, “Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets,” (ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 is meant to clarify the scope of ASC Subtopic 610-20, “Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets” and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 is to be applied using a full retrospective method or a modified retrospective method as outlined in the guidance and is effective at the same time as ASU 2014-09. Further, the Company is required to adopt ASU 2017-05 at the same time that it adopts the guidance in the New Revenue Standards. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. An employer is required to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. Other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The amendment also allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization, when applicable. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted only in the first interim period of a fiscal year. ASU 2017-07 will be applied retrospectively for the presentation requirements and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component requirements. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables--Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,” (“ASU 2017-08”). ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for callable debt securities held at a premium, requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is permitted. Adoption will be applied on a modified retrospective basis, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The new guidance will reduce diversity in practice and result in fewer changes to the terms of an award being accounted for as modifications. Under ASU 2017-09, an entity will not apply modification accounting to a share-based payment award if the award’s fair value, vesting conditions and classification as an equity or liability instrument are the same immediately before and after the change. ASU 2017-09 will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and early adoption is permitted. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


10



In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities,” (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 expands an entity’s ability to apply hedge accounting for nonfinancial and financial risk components and allow for a simplified approach for fair value hedging of interest rate risk. ASU 2017-12 eliminates the need to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. Additionally, ASU 2017-12 simplifies the hedge documentation and effectiveness assessment requirements under the previous guidance. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is permitted. Adoption will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to cash flows and prospectively for presentation and disclosure. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Accrued Warranties.  The Company records accruals for potential warranty claims based on its claims experience.  The Company’s products are typically sold with a standard warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period.  Each business provides a warranty specific to products it offers.  The specific warranty offered by a business is a function of customer expectations and competitive forces.  Warranty length is generally a fixed period of time, a fixed number of operating hours, or both.

A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale.  The non-current portion of the warranty accrual is included in Other non-current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience for each product sold.  Historical claim experience may be adjusted for known design improvements or for the impact of unusual product quality issues.  Warranty reserves are reviewed quarterly to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may affect the potential warranty liability.

The following table summarizes the changes in the consolidated product warranty liability (in millions):

Fair Value Measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis under the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”) include interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and cross currency swaps discussed in Note K – “Derivative Financial Instruments” and debt discussed in Note M – “Long-term Obligations”. These instruments are valued using a market approach, which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.  ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for those instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs).  The hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within this hierarchy requires judgment.  The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

NOTE B – SALE OF MHPS BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE

On May 16, 2016, Terex agreed to sell its Material Handling and Port Solutions (“MHPS”) business to Konecranes Plc, a Finnish public company limited by shares, (“Konecranes”) by entering into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “SAPA”), with Konecranes. As a result, the Company and Konecranes terminated the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “BCA”) announced on August 11, 2015, with no penalties incurred by either party. On January 4, 2017, the Company completed the disposition of its MHPS business to Konecranes (the “Disposition”), pursuant to the SAPA, effective as of January 1, 2017. In connection with the Disposition, the Company received 19.6 million newly issued Class B shares of Konecranes and approximately $835 million in cash after adjustments for estimated cash, debt and net working capital at closing and the divestiture of Konecranes’ Stahl Crane Systems business (“Stahl”), which was undertaken by Konecranes in connection with the Disposition. The final transaction consideration was subject to post-closing adjustments for the actual cash, debt and net working capital at closing, the 2016 performance of the MHPS business and Konecranes business, and the closing of the sale of Stahl. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized a gain on the Disposition (net of tax) of $2.6 million and $60.7 million, respectively.

The Company and Konecranes entered into a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2017, which provided certain customary restrictions and obligations. Terex also had customary registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement between Terex and Konecranes entered into on January 4, 2017.

The Company sold all shares received in connection with the Disposition in three tranches. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company sold 5.2 million and 19.6 million Konecranes shares for proceeds of approximately $221 million and $770 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net gain on sale, including the effects of foreign exchange rate changes, of $3.4 million and $42.0 million. The net gain on these sales is recorded as a component of Other income (expense) - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

On March 23, 2017, Konecranes declared a dividend of €1.05 per share to holders of record as of March 27, 2017, which was paid on April 4, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized dividend income of $13.5 million as a component of Other income (expense) - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

In connection with the Disposition, the Company and Konecranes entered into certain ancillary agreements, including Transition Services Agreements (“TSA’s”) generally with terms from three to twelve months, dated as of January 4, 2017, under which the parties provide one another certain transition services to facilitate both the separation of the MHPS business from the businesses retained by the Company and the interim operations of the MHPS business acquired by Konecranes. Cash inflows and outflows related to these TSA’s generally offset to immaterial amounts.

Loss Contract

Related to the Disposition, the Company and Konecranes entered into an agreement for Konecranes to manufacture certain crane products on behalf of the Company for a period of 12 months. The Company recorded an expense of $6.3 million related to losses expected to be incurred over the agreement’s life during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The agreement was amended on October 11, 2017 to extend the period of manufacturing for an additional 24 months.

SAPA and BCA Related Expenses

Terex incurred transaction costs directly related to the SAPA of $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, which amounts are recorded in Income (loss) from discontinued operations - net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Terex incurred transaction costs directly related to the terminated BCA of $0.2 million and $12.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, which amounts are recorded in Other income (expense) - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

NOTE D – INCOME TAXES

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $0.1 million on income of $56.7 million, an effective tax rate of 0.2%, as compared to an income tax benefit of $19.3 million on income of $13.9 million, an effective tax rate of (138.8)%, for the three months ended September 30, 2016.  The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to lower tax benefits from the establishment of net operating loss carryforwards and geographic mix of earnings when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $5.1 million on income of $86.6 million, an effective tax rate of (5.9)%, as compared to an income tax benefit of $82.5 million on income of $38.3 million, an effective tax rate of (215.4)%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The higher effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to lower tax benefits from the establishment of net operating loss carryforwards, valuation allowance releases and agreement with a non-U.S. authority with respect to certain tax matters extending back a period of years, partially offset by low-taxed capital gains from the disposition of Konecranes shares, tax benefits from interest deductions, and geographic mix of earnings when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.


NOTE E – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE

MHPS

On January 4, 2017, the Company completed the disposition of its MHPS business to Konecranes. See Note B - “Sale of MHPS Business and Investment Carried at Fair Value” for further information on the Disposition. The Disposition represented a significant strategic shift in the Company’s business away from universal, process, mobile harbor and ship-to-shore cranes that will have a major effect on the Company’s future operating results, primarily because the MHPS business represented the entirety of one of the Company’s five previous reportable operating segments and comprised two of the Company’s six previous reporting units, representing a significant portion of the Company’s revenues and assets, and is therefore accounted for as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. MHPS products include universal cranes, process cranes and components, such as rope hoists, chain hoists, light crane systems, travel units and electric motors, primarily for industrial applications, and mobile harbor cranes, ship-to-shore gantry cranes, rubber tired and rail mounted gantry cranes, straddle carriers, sprinter carriers, reach stackers, container handlers, general cargo lift trucks, automated stacking cranes, automated guided vehicles and software solutions for logistics terminals.

Cash flows from discontinued operations are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

As a result of the SAPA, the Company recognized a pre-tax charge of $55.6 million ($55.6 million after-tax) in the second quarter of 2016 to write-down the MHPS disposal group to fair value, less costs to sell. The Company estimated the amount of sale proceeds using the cash proceeds plus an average of closing stock prices in the month of June 2016 for Konecranes common shares as traded on the Nasdaq Helsinki stock exchange (under the symbol “KCR1V”) multiplied by 19.6 million Class B shares expected to be received.

In the third quarter of 2016, the Company reversed the pre-tax charge of $55.6 million ($55.6 million after-tax) recognized in the second quarter of 2016 due primarily to improvement in Konecranes’ stock price in the three months ended September 30, 2016. The Company estimated the amount of sale proceeds as calculated above; however, it replaced the average of Konecranes closing stock prices with an average of closing stock prices in the month of September 2016.

As a result of the SAPA, the Company determined that amounts invested in the MHPS business were no longer indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, the Company recorded previously unrecognized U.S. and foreign deferred taxes associated with its investment in MHPS subsidiaries.

Cranes

As part of the transformation and improvement of its Cranes segment, the Company is actively seeking a buyer for its utility hot lines tools business located in South America and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities are reported as held for sale.

In August 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its cranes manufacturing facility in Jinan, China. The sale was completed during the third quarter of 2017 and the Company recorded a gain on sale of $5.7 million in its Corporate and Other category as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Construction

In December 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Coventry, UK-based compact construction business.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company completed the sale of Coventry, UK-based compact construction business and remaining UK-based compact construction product lines and recognized a loss of $1.2 million within SG&A in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to the sale.


15



During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized a gain of $5.8 million within SG&A resulting from a post-closing adjustment related to the 2016 sale of its midi/mini excavators, wheeled excavators, and compact wheel loader business in Germany.

Weighted average options to purchase approximately 2,600 and 6,100 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), were outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, but were not included in the computation of diluted shares as the effect would be anti-dilutive.  Weighted average options to purchase approximately 23,100 and 87,900 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), were outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted shares as the effect would be anti-dilutive. There were no weighted average restricted stock awards outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2017 included in the computation of diluted shares because the effect would be anti-dilutive or performance targets were not expected to be achieved for awards contingent upon performance. Weighted average restricted stock awards of approximately 4,300 were outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, but were not included in the computation of diluted shares because the effect would be anti-dilutive or performance targets were not expected to be achieved for awards contingent upon performance. Weighted average restricted stock awards of approximately 501,000 and 711,400 were outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted shares because the effect would be anti-dilutive or performance targets were not expected to be achieved for awards contingent upon performance. ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” requires that employee stock options and non-vested restricted shares granted by the Company be treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing diluted earnings per share. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options and the amount of compensation cost for future services that the Company has not yet recognized are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

NOTE G – FINANCE RECEIVABLES

The Company, primarily through TFS, leases equipment and provides financing to customers for the purchase and use of Terex equipment. In the normal course of business, TFS assesses credit risk, establishes structure and pricing of financing transactions, documents the finance receivable, and records and funds the transactions. The Company bills and collects cash from the customer.

The Company primarily conducts on-book business in the U.S., with limited business in China, the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy. The Company does business with various types of customers consisting of rental houses, end user customers and Terex equipment dealers.

The Company’s net finance receivable balances include both sales-type leases and commercial loans. Finance receivables that management intends to hold until maturity are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for loan losses as well as any deferred fees and costs. Finance receivables originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, in the aggregate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company transferred finance receivables of $60.5 million and $149.5 million, respectively, to third party financial institutions, which qualified for sales treatment under ASC 860. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company transferred finance receivables of $81.1 million and $191.3 million, respectively, to third party financial institutions, which qualified for sales treatment under ASC 860. At September 30, 2017, the Company had $41.7 million of held for sale finance receivables recorded in Prepaid and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Revenue attributable to finance receivables management intends to hold until maturity is recognized on the accrual basis using the effective interest method. The Company bills customers and accrues interest income monthly on the unpaid principal balance. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has significant doubts about further collectability of contractual payments, even though the loan may be currently performing. A receivable may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or secured. Interest received on non-accrual finance receivables is typically applied against principal. Finance receivables are generally restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current and the borrower has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The Company has a history of enforcing the terms of these separate financing agreements.

At September 30, 2017, approximately $108 million of finance receivables are recorded in Prepaid and other current assets and approximately $132 million are recorded in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2016, approximately $74 million of finance receivables were recorded in Prepaid and other current assets and approximately $162 million were recorded in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

Credit losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management ceases active collection efforts. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to earnings. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level set by management which represents evaluation of known and inherent risks in the portfolio at the consolidated balance sheet date. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, market-based loss experience, specific customer situations, estimated value of any underlying collateral, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, since it requires estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. Although specific and general loss allowances are established in accordance with management’s best estimate, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to or decreases from the level of loss allowances may be necessary.

The Company utilizes a two tier approach to set allowances: (1) identification of impaired finance receivables and establishment of specific loss allowances on such receivables; and (2) establishment of general loss allowances on the remainder of its portfolio. Specific loss allowances are established based on circumstances and factors of specific receivables. The Company regularly reviews the portfolio which allows for early identification of potentially impaired receivables. The process takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, type of collateral and other factors specific to the borrower.

General loss allowance levels are determined based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, TFS experience, general market loss experience, performance of the portfolio, current economic conditions, and management's judgment. The two primary risk characteristics inherent in the portfolio are (1) the customer's ability to meet contractual payment terms, and (2) the liquidation values of the underlying primary and secondary collaterals. The Company records a general or unallocated loss allowance that is calculated by applying the reserve rate to its portfolio, including the unreserved balance of accounts that have been specifically reserved for. All delinquent accounts are reviewed for potential impairment. A receivable is deemed to be impaired when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the balance outstanding and underlying collateral value of equipment being financed, as well as any other collateral. All finance receivables identified as impaired are evaluated individually. Generally, the Company does not change terms and conditions of existing finance receivables.

Credit Quality Information

Credit quality is reviewed periodically based on customers’ payment status. In addition to delinquency status, any information received regarding a customer (such as bankruptcy filings, etc.) will also be considered to determine the credit quality of the customer. Collateral asset values are also monitored regularly to determine the potential loss exposures on any given transaction.

NOTE K – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company operates internationally, with manufacturing and sales facilities in various locations around the world. In the normal course of business, the Company primarily uses cash flow derivatives to manage foreign currency and interest rate exposures on third party and intercompany forecasted transactions.  For a derivative to qualify for hedge accounting treatment at inception and throughout the hedge period, the Company formally documents the nature and relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, and the method of assessing hedge effectiveness.  Additionally, for hedges of forecasted transactions, significant characteristics and expected terms of a forecasted transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction will occur.  If it is deemed probable the forecasted transaction will not occur, then the gain or loss would be recognized in current earnings.  Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period.  The Company does not engage in trading or other speculative use of financial instruments. The Company records all derivative contracts at fair value on a recurring basis. All of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are categorized under Level 2 of the ASC 820 hierarchy, see Note A - “Basis of Presentation,” for an explanation of the ASC 820 hierarchy.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to manage the variability of future cash flows associated with recognized assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions due to changing currency exchange rates.  Primary currencies to which the Company is exposed are the Euro, British Pound and Australian Dollar.   These foreign exchange contracts are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. Fair values of these contracts are derived using quoted forward foreign exchange prices to interpolate values of outstanding trades at the reporting date based on their maturities. Most of the foreign exchange contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2017 mature on or before September 30, 2018.  At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $258.5 million and $245.5 million notional amount, respectively, of foreign exchange contracts outstanding that were initially designated as cash flow hedge contracts. The effective portion of unrealized gains and losses associated with foreign exchange contracts are deferred as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) until the underlying hedged transactions settle and are reclassified to Cost of goods sold in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Certain foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Company have not been designated as hedging instruments to mitigate its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on third party forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities. The Company had $74.1 million and $339.7 million notional amount of foreign exchange contracts outstanding that were not designated as hedging instruments at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  The majority of gains and losses recognized from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments were offset by changes in the underlying hedged items, resulting in no material net impact on earnings. Changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments were recognized as gains or losses in Other income (expense) – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Other

Other derivatives include cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and a debt conversion feature. Changes in the fair value of our cross currency and interest rate swaps are deferred in AOCI. Gains or losses on cross currency swaps are reclassified to Other income (expense) - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) when the underlying hedged item is re-measured. Gains or losses on interest rate swaps are reclassified to Cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) when underlying hedged transactions settle. Changes in fair value of the debt conversion feature are recorded in Other income (expense) - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

In the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Company records hedging activity related to debt instruments, foreign exchange contracts, cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps in the accounts for which the hedged items are recorded.  On the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company presents cash flows from hedging activities in the same manner as it records the underlying item being hedged.

Counterparties to the Company’s foreign exchange contracts are major financial institutions with credit ratings of investment grade or better and no collateral is required.  There are no significant risk concentrations.  Management continues to monitor counterparty risk and believes the risk of incurring losses on derivative contracts related to credit risk is unlikely and any losses would be immaterial.
 
See Note P - “Stockholders’ Equity” for unrealized net gains (losses), net of tax, included in AOCI. Within the unrealized net gains (losses) included in AOCI as of September 30, 2017, it is estimated that $2.0 million of gains are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months.

NOTE L – RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

The Company continually evaluates its cost structure to be appropriately positioned to respond to changing market conditions. From time to time, the Company may initiate certain restructuring programs to better utilize its workforce and optimize facility utilization to match demand for its products.

Restructuring

During 2016, the Company established restructuring programs in its Cranes segment to transfer production between existing facilities and close certain facilities in order to maximize labor efficiencies and reduce overhead costs, and incurred $77.9 million of expense in 2016 and 2017. The programs are expected to cost $81.1 million, result in the reduction of approximately 1,000 team members and be completed in 2018.

The following table provides information for all restructuring activities by segment regarding the amount of expense incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the cumulative amount of expenses incurred since inception of the programs through September 30, 2017, and the total amount expected to be incurred (in millions):

Other Charges

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a $17.8 million reduction to COGS, primarily due to the decrease in severance accruals for our Cranes segment established in the fourth quarter of the prior year as production volumes are expected to exceed earlier forecasts requiring us to maintain a higher headcount. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $4.7 million was recorded as a component of SG&A for severance charges across all segments and corporate functions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $3.8 million and $10.5 million as components of COGS and SG&A, respectively, for severance charges across all segments and corporate functions.

NOTE M – LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

2017 Credit Agreement

On January 31, 2017, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “2017 Credit Agreement”), with the lenders and issuing banks party thereto (the “New Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“CSAG”), as administrative agent and collateral agent. In connection with the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its 2014 Credit Agreement (as defined below), among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders thereunder and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and related agreements and documents. The 2017 Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving line of credit of up to $450 million that is available through January 31, 2022 and a $400 million senior secured term loan, which will mature on January 31, 2024. The 2017 Credit Agreement allows unlimited incremental commitments, which may be extended at the option of the existing or new lenders and can be in the form of revolving credit commitments, term loan commitments, or a combination of both, with incremental amounts in excess of $300 million as long as the Company satisfies a senior secured leverage ratio contained in the 2017 Credit Agreement.

The 2017 Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with a number of covenants, which limit, in certain circumstances, the Company’s ability to take a variety of actions, including but not limited to: incur indebtedness; create or maintain liens on its property or assets; make investments, loans and advances; repurchase shares of its common stock; engage in acquisitions, mergers, consolidations and asset sales; redeem debt; and pay dividends and distributions. If the Company’s borrowings under its revolving line of credit are greater than 30% of the total revolving credit commitments, the 2017 Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial tests, as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement. If applicable, the minimum required levels of the interest coverage ratio would be 2.5 to 1.0 and the maximum permitted levels of the senior secured leverage ratio would be 2.75 to 1.0. The 2017 Credit Agreement also contains customary default provisions.

On August 17, 2017, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the 2017 Credit Agreement which lowered the interest rate on the Company’s senior secured term loan by 0.25%.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the amendment of its 2017 Credit Agreement of approximately $0.7 million.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $396.0 million, net of discount, in a U.S. dollar denominated term loan outstanding under the 2017 Credit Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on the term loan at September 30, 2017 was 3.58%. The Company had no revolving credit amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2017.


27



The 2017 Credit Agreement incorporates facilities for issuance of letters of credit up to $400 million.  Letters of credit issued under the 2017 Credit Agreement letter of credit facility decrease availability under the $450 million revolving line of credit.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company had no letters of credit issued under the 2017 Credit Agreement.  The 2017 Credit Agreement also permits the Company to have additional letter of credit facilities up to $300 million, and letters of credit issued under such additional facilities do not decrease availability under the revolving lines of credit. The Company had letters of credit issued under the additional letter of credit facilities of the 2017 Credit Agreement that totaled $34.2 million as of September 30, 2017.

The Company also has bilateral arrangements to issue letters of credit with various other financial institutions.  These additional letters of credit do not reduce the Company’s availability under the 2017 Credit Agreement.  The Company had letters of credit issued under these additional arrangements of $22.8 million as of September 30, 2017.

In total, as of September 30, 2017, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $57.0 million. The letters of credit generally serve as collateral for certain liabilities included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Certain letters of credit serve as collateral guaranteeing the Company’s performance under contracts.

Furthermore, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries agreed to take certain actions to secure borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement. As a result, on January 31, 2017, Terex and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with CSAG, as collateral agent for the New Lenders, granting security and guarantees to the New Lenders for amounts borrowed under the 2017 Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, Terex is required to (a) pledge as collateral the capital stock of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries, and (b) provide a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets.

2014 Credit Agreement

On January 31, 2017, in connection with the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its 2014 Credit Agreement (as defined below), among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders thereunder and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and related agreements and documents.

On August 13, 2014 the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2014 Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The 2014 Credit Agreement provided the Company with a senior secured revolving line of credit of up to $600 million that was available through August 13, 2019, a $230.0 million senior secured term loan and a €200.0 million senior secured term loan, which both matured on August 13, 2021. The 2014 Credit Agreement allowed unlimited incremental commitments, which could be extended at the option of the existing or new lenders and could be in the form of revolving credit commitments, term loan commitments, or a combination of both as long as the Company satisfied a senior secured debt financial ratio contained in the 2014 Credit Agreement.

The 2014 Credit Agreement required the Company to comply with a number of covenants. The covenants limited, in certain circumstances, the Company’s ability to take a variety of actions, including but not limited to: incur indebtedness; create or maintain liens on its property or assets; make investments, loans and advances; repurchase shares of its Common Stock; engage in acquisitions, mergers, consolidations and asset sales; redeem debt; and pay dividends and distributions.

If the Company’s borrowings under its revolving line of credit were greater than 30% of the total revolving credit commitments, the 2014 Credit Agreement required the Company to comply with certain financial tests, as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement. If applicable, the minimum required levels of the interest coverage ratio would be 2.5 to 1.0 and the maximum permitted levels of the senior secured leverage ratio would be 2.75 to 1.0.

The 2014 Credit Agreement also contained customary default provisions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt related to its 2014 Credit Agreement of approximately $8.2 million.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $428.6 million, net of discount, in U.S. dollar and Euro denominated term loans outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on the term loans at December 31, 2016 was 3.63%. The Company had no outstanding U.S. dollar and Euro denominated revolving credit amounts under the 2014 Credit Agreement at December 31, 2016.


28



The 2014 Credit Agreement incorporated facilities for issuance of letters of credit up to $400 million.  Letters of credit issued under the 2014 Credit Agreement letter of credit facility decreased availability under the $600 million revolving line of credit. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had no letters of credit issued under the 2014 Credit Agreement.  The 2014 Credit Agreement also permitted the Company to have additional letter of credit facilities up to $300 million, and letters of credit issued under such additional facilities did not decrease availability under the revolving line of credit. The Company had letters of credit issued under the additional letter of credit facilities of the 2014 Credit Agreement that totaled $36.8 million as of December 31, 2016.

The Company also had bilateral arrangements to issue letters of credit with various other financial institutions.  These additional letters of credit did not reduce the Company’s availability under the 2014 Credit Agreement.  The Company had letters of credit issued under these additional arrangements of $146.4 million ($121.4 million related to discontinued operations) as of December 31, 2016.

In total, as of December 31, 2016, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $183.2 million ($121.4 million related to discontinued operations). The letters of credit generally served as collateral for certain liabilities included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Certain letters of credit served as collateral guaranteeing the Company’s performance under contracts.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries agreed to take certain actions to secure borrowings under the 2014 Credit Agreement.  As a result, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with Credit Suisse, as collateral agent for the lenders, granting security to the lenders for amounts borrowed under the 2014 Credit Agreement.  The Company was required to (a) pledge as collateral the capital stock of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries, and (b) provide a first priority security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets.

6-1/2% Senior Notes

On March 27, 2012, the Company sold and issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes Due 2020 (“6-1/2% Notes”) at par. The proceeds from these notes were used for general corporate purposes. The 6-1/2% Notes became redeemable by the Company beginning in April 2016 at an initial redemption price of 103.25% of principal amount. The Company redeemed $45.8 million principal amount of the 6-1/2% Notes in the first quarter of 2017 for $47.9 million, including market premiums of $1.2 million and accrued but unpaid interest of $0.9 million. The Company redeemed the remaining $254.2 million principal amount of the 6-1/2% Notes on April 3, 2017 for $266.7 million, including accrued but unpaid interest of $8.4 million and a call premium of $4.1 million (which was recorded as Loss on extinguishment of debt on that date).

The fair value of debt reported in the table above is based on price quotations on the debt instrument in an active market and therefore categorized under Level 1 of the ASC 820 hierarchy. See Note A – “Basis of Presentation,” for an explanation of the ASC 820 hierarchy. The Company believes that the carrying value of its other borrowings, including amounts outstanding, if any, for the revolving credit line under the 2017 Credit Agreement approximate fair market value based on maturities for debt of similar terms. The fair value of these other borrowings are categorized under Level 2 of the ASC 820 hierarchy.

NOTE N – RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER BENEFITS

The Company maintains defined benefit plans in the United States, France, Germany, India, Switzerland and the United Kingdom for some of its subsidiaries, including a nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) in the United States. In Italy there are mandatory termination indemnity plans providing a benefit that is payable upon termination of employment in substantially all cases of termination. The Company also has several programs that provide postemployment benefits, including health and life insurance benefits, to certain former salaried and hourly employees.

NOTE O – LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

General

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, general liability, workers’ compensation liability, employment, commercial and intellectual property litigation, which have arisen in the normal course of operations. The Company is insured for product liability, general liability, workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, property damage and other insurable risk required by law or contract, with retained liability or deductibles. The Company records and maintains an estimated liability in the amount of management’s estimate of the Company’s aggregate exposure for such retained liabilities and deductibles. For such retained liabilities and deductibles, the Company determines its exposure based on probable loss estimations, which requires such losses to be both probable and the amount or range of probable loss to be estimable. The Company believes it has made appropriate and adequate reserves and accruals for its current contingencies and the likelihood of a material loss beyond amounts accrued is remote. The Company believes the outcome of such matters, individually and in aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial statements as a whole. However, outcomes of lawsuits cannot be predicted and, if determined adversely, could ultimately result in the Company incurring significant liabilities which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.


30



See Note S - “Litigation and Contingencies,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 25, 2017 for a detailed description of the Company’s securities class action and stockholder derivative lawsuits as well as proceedings involving certain former shareholders of Demag Cranes AG.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings which have arisen in the normal course of its operations.  The Company has recorded provisions for estimated losses in circumstances where a loss is probable and the amount or range of possible amounts of the loss is estimable.

Credit Guarantees

Customers of the Company from time to time may fund the acquisition of the Company’s equipment through third-party finance companies.  In certain instances, the Company may provide a credit guarantee to the finance company, by which the Company agrees to make payments to the finance company should the customer default.  The maximum liability of the Company is generally limited to its customer’s remaining payments due to the finance company at the time of default.  In the event of customer default, the Company or the finance company is generally able to recover and dispose of the equipment at a minimum loss, if any, to the Company.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s maximum exposure to such credit guarantees was $48.6 million and $42.3 million, respectively (credit guarantees as of December 31, 2016 include $2.0 million of guarantees related to discontinued operations). Terms of these guarantees coincide with the financing arranged by the customer and generally do not exceed five years. Given the Company’s position as original equipment manufacturer and its knowledge of end markets, the Company, when called upon to fulfill a guarantee, generally has been able to liquidate the financed equipment at a minimal loss, if any, to the Company.

There can be no assurance that historical credit default experience will be indicative of future results.  The Company’s ability to recover losses experienced from its guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in effect at the time of loss.

Residual Value and Buyback Guarantees

The Company issues residual value guarantees under sales-type leases. A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date if certain conditions are met by the customer. Maximum exposure for residual value guarantees issued by the Company totaled $8.0 million and $7.1 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company is generally able to mitigate some risk associated with these guarantees because the maturity of guarantees is staggered, limiting the amount of used equipment entering the marketplace at any one time.

The Company from time to time guarantees that it will buy equipment from its customers in the future at a stated price if certain conditions are met by the customer.  Such guarantees are referred to as buyback guarantees.  These conditions generally pertain to functionality and state of repair of the machine.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company has no exposure pursuant to buyback guarantees. At December 31, 2016, the Company’s maximum exposure pursuant to buyback guarantees was $3.5 million, ($3.2 million related to discontinued operations). The Company is generally able to mitigate some risk of these guarantees because maturity of guarantees is staggered, limiting the amount of used equipment entering the marketplace at any one time and through leveraging its access to used equipment markets provided by the Company’s original equipment manufacturer status.

The Company has recorded an aggregate liability within Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of approximately $4 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, for estimated fair value of all guarantees provided.

There can be no assurance the Company’s historical experience in used equipment markets will be indicative of future results.  The Company’s ability to recover losses experienced from its guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in used equipment markets at the time of loss.

(1) Reclassification of $352.1 million of losses (net of $1.5 million of tax benefits) from AOCI to Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations - net of tax in connection with the sale of the MHPS business during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
(2) Reclassification of AOCI during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily relates to $55.4 million of losses (net of $23.9 million of tax benefits) reclassified from AOCI to Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations - net of tax in connection with the sale of the MHPS business.

Noncontrolling Interest
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Noncontrolling interest decreased by $35.9 million primarily due to the divestiture of our MHPS segment in January of 2017.

Stock-Based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company awarded 1.4 million shares of restricted stock to its employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $32.34 per share.  Approximately 63% of these restricted stock awards vest ratably over a three year period and approximately 37% cliff vest at the end of a three year period. Approximately 13% of the shares granted are based on performance targets containing a market condition determined over a three year period. The Company used the Monte Carlo method to determine grant date fair value of $36.48 per share for the awards with a market condition granted on March 2, 2017.  The Monte Carlo method is a statistical simulation technique used to provide the grant date fair value of an award.  The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used in the valuation:

Share Repurchases and Dividends

In February 2015, the Company announced authorization by its Board of Directors for the repurchase of up to $200 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock of which approximately $131 million of this authorization was utilized prior to January 1, 2017. In February 2017, the Company announced authorization by its Board of Directors for the repurchase of up to an additional $350 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. In May 2017, the Company announced the completion of the February 2015 and February 2017 authorizations and subsequently that the Company’s Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $280 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. In September 2017, the Company announced the completion of the May 2017 authorization and subsequently that the Company’s Board of Directors had authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $225 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company repurchased approximately 22.3 million shares for approximately $770.2 million under these programs. A portion of the share repurchases was executed prior to September 30, 2017 but cash settled in October. In each of the first three quarters of 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.08 per share, which was paid to its shareholders. On October 11, 2017 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share, to be paid on December 19, 2017 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2017.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Terex is a global manufacturer of lifting and material processing products and services that deliver lifecycle solutions to maximize customer return on investment. The Company delivers lifecycle solutions to a broad range of industries, including the construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, shipping, transportation, refining, energy, utility, quarrying and mining industries. We report in three business segments: (i) Aerial Work Platforms (“AWP”); (ii) Cranes; and (iii) Materials Processing (“MP”). Please refer to Note A – “Basis of Presentation” and Note C – “Business Segment Information” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent business reorganizations and segment descriptions.

Non-GAAP Measures

In this document, we refer to various GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies. We present non-GAAP financial measures in reporting our financial results to provide investors with additional analytical tools which we believe are useful in evaluating our operating results and the ongoing performance of our underlying businesses. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP measures we may use include translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on net sales, gross profit, selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) costs and operating profit, as well as the net sales, gross profit, SG&A costs and operating profit excluding the impact of acquisitions.

As changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on our financial results, we believe excluding effect of these changes assists in assessment of our business results between periods. We calculate the translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes by translating current period results at rates that the comparable prior periods were translated at to isolate the foreign exchange component of the fluctuation from the operational component. Similarly, the impact of changes in our results from acquisitions that were not included in comparable prior periods may be subtracted from the absolute change in results to allow for better comparability of results between periods.

We calculate a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow. We define free cash flow as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, plus (minus) increases (decreases) in Terex Financial Services (“TFS”) assets, less Capital expenditures. We believe that this measure of free cash flow provides management and investors further useful information on cash generation or use in our primary operations.

We discuss forward looking information related to expected earnings per share (“EPS”) excluding restructuring charges and other items. The Company’s 2017 outlook for earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes items such as restructuring and other related charges, impact from periodic adjustments to fair value in our ownership in Konecranes, deal related costs, the impact of the release of tax valuation allowances and gains and losses on divestitures. The Company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the exact timing and impact of such items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s full-year 2017 GAAP financial results. Adjusted EPS provides guidance to investors about our EPS expectations excluding restructuring and other charges that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations.

Working capital is calculated using the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts for Trade receivables (net of allowance) plus Inventories (net of allowance), less Trade accounts payable and Customer advances. We view excessive working capital as an inefficient use of resources, and seek to minimize the level of investment without adversely impacting the ongoing operations of the business. Trailing three months annualized net sales is calculated using the net sales for the most recent quarter end multiplied by four. The ratio calculated by dividing working capital by trailing three months annualized net sales is a non-GAAP measure that we believe measures our resource use efficiency.


34



Non-GAAP measures we use also include Net Operating Profit After Tax (“NOPAT”) as adjusted, income (loss) before income taxes as adjusted, income (loss) from operations as adjusted, (benefit from) provision for income taxes as adjusted and stockholders’ equity as adjusted, which are used in the calculation of our after tax return on invested capital (“ROIC”) (collectively the “Non-GAAP Measures”), which are discussed in detail below.

Overview

Focus, Simplify and Execute to Win are the three pillars of our business strategy and we made meaningful progress on our strategic priorities in the quarter. Having completed the first element of our strategy, focusing the portfolio on our core three segments, our strategy deployment efforts are concentrated on simplifying the Company and implementing our “Execute to Win” business system.

We simplified our manufacturing footprint as we completed the sales of our Cranes facilities in Jinan, China and Bierbach, Germany. See Note L - “Restructuring and Other Charges” in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on restructuring actions in our Cranes segment. Leveraging our existing capacity is necessary for the current market environment and will help us become more globally cost competitive.

Our “Execute to Win” business system has three priority areas: Lifecycle Solutions, Commercial Excellence and Strategic Sourcing. Under Lifecycle Solutions, our global parts initiatives are progressing as we have teams focused on specific operational improvements to improve service levels to our customers. Our Commercial Excellence initiative continues to make progress as we enhanced performance management tools, improved process discipline in sales pipeline and account management and strengthened our commercial leadership. Our Strategic Sourcing teams are starting to assess supplier proposals and over the next several months will be completing supplier evaluations, engaging in negotiations and ultimately making award decisions.

Our third quarter financial results demonstrate the accelerating momentum across the Company as all three segments increased net sales, improved operating margin and grew backlog. Our Cranes segment continued its year over year improvement in the third quarter, realizing benefits from its restructuring program. Our MP segment had another strong quarter, growing sales and operating margin for the fourth consecutive quarter. AWP sales increased year-over-year and importantly, its margins improved as well. We see positive momentum in our backlog (firm orders expected to be filled within one year) and net bookings (firm orders received in the quarter) for our segments, which were up 44% and 18% year over year, respectively. This is the third consecutive quarter of backlog growth in each of our business segments.

Our AWP segment’s third quarter results included stronger than expected net sales and improved operating margins, although increased commodity prices, mostly for steel, continued to be a headwind. The underlying residential and non-residential construction demand is relatively strong, helping to mitigate the effect of the replacement cycle. The positive momentum in the North American market for AWP products continued in the third quarter as rental customers are seeing utilization and rental rates continue to rise. The European market is also growing and we saw an up-tick from a low base in Latin America. Looking ahead, we are encouraged by AWP’s backlog which is up 41% on a year over year basis.

Net sales in our Cranes segment increased year over year and the segment’s profitability also improved in the third quarter of 2017. We saw growth in the markets for our tower cranes and utilities products. The global crane market remains challenging, but we are seeing signs of stabilization in the market. In Europe, large crawler cranes demand remains lower in the wind energy sector due to changes in the German energy market. In North America, sales were impacted by production constraints at our Oklahoma City facility though shipments did steadily improve during the quarter. Investment in the Australian market is beginning to return after the steep decline that started in 2014. The aggressive restructuring actions, focused on reducing footprint and cost structure, are starting to be reflected in our results. We are optimistic about Cranes backlog which grew 57% year-over year.

Our MP segment had another strong quarter with its operating profit improving on increased net sales. Growth was driven by our crushing and screening, scrap material handling and environmental product lines. Crushing and screening remained stable in North America, with growth across Europe, Asia and Australia. Our Fuchs material handling business continues to grow in a fairly stable market environment, benefiting from improvements to our commercial capabilities. Backlog for the segment was up 28% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to strength in the mobile crushing and screening, material handling and environmental businesses.

Geographically, our largest market remains North America, which represents approximately 55% of our global sales in continuing operations. Our sales grew in North America, Europe, Middle East and Latin America on a year over year basis. However, our Asian/Pacific sales were down slightly.


35



We have been executing our disciplined capital allocation strategy. In September 2017, we sold the remaining 5.2 million Konecranes shares for proceeds of approximately $221 million, bringing our year to date total proceeds from the sale of Konecranes shares to approximately $770 million. We repurchased approximately 22.3 million Terex shares in the first nine months of 2017 for approximately $770 million under Board approved share repurchase programs. We have approximately $154 million remaining on the share repurchase program that was authorized by our Board of Directors in September 2017. See Part II Other Information, Item 2 “Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for further information on our share repurchases, including the amount that may still be purchased under our Board authorized share repurchase programs.

We believe our liquidity continues to be sufficient to meet our business plans. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a detailed description of liquidity and working capital levels, including the primary factors affecting such levels.

Based on our year to date results, our backlog and our market assessments, we are improving our full year net sales outlook from down about 6% to down approximately 3.5%. We are also increasing our full year 2017 earnings per share guidance to between $1.20 and $1.30, excluding restructuring and other items.

ROIC

ROIC continues to be a metric we use to measure our performance. ROIC and Non-GAAP Measures assist in showing how effectively we utilize capital invested in our operations. After-tax ROIC is determined by dividing the sum of NOPAT for each of the previous four quarters by the average of the sum of Total Terex Corporation stockholders’ equity plus Debt (as defined below) less Cash and cash equivalents (as defined below) for the previous five quarters. NOPAT for each quarter is calculated by multiplying the sum of (i) Income (loss) from continuing and discontinued operations, (ii) the impact of the MHPS sale and (iii) transactions related to our Konecranes shares investment, excluding the effects of foreign exchange rate changes, by a figure equal to one minus the annualized effective tax rate of the Company (as described below). We believe that earnings/losses from discontinued operations, gain/loss on the MHPS sale and transactions related to our Konecranes shares investment, excluding the effects of foreign exchange rate changes, as well as the net assets that comprise those operations’ invested capital, should be included in this calculation because it captures the financial returns on our capital allocation decisions for the measured periods.

Furthermore, we believe returns on capital deployed in TFS do not represent our primary operations and, therefore, TFS assets and results from operations have been excluded from the Non-GAAP Measures. The annualized effective tax rate is equal to the (Provision for) benefit from income taxes divided by Income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations, discontinued operations and gain on sale of discontinued operations before income taxes. Debt is calculated using amounts for Notes payable and current portion of long-term debt plus Long-term debt, less current portion. We calculate ROIC using the last four quarters’ adjusted NOPAT as this represents the most recent 12-month period at any given point of determination. In order for the denominator of the ROIC ratio to properly match the operational period reflected in the numerator, we include the average of five quarters’ ending balance sheet amounts so that the denominator includes the average of the opening through ending balances (on a quarterly basis) thereby providing, over the same time period as the numerator, four quarters of average invested capital.

Terex management and Board of Directors use ROIC as one of the primary measures to assess operational performance, including in connection with certain compensation programs. We use ROIC as a metric because we believe it measures how effectively we invest our capital and provides a better measure to compare ourselves to peer companies to assist in assessing how we drive operational improvement. We believe ROIC measures return on the amount of capital invested in our primary businesses, excluding TFS, as opposed to another metric such as return on stockholders’ equity that only incorporates book equity, and is thus a more accurate and descriptive measure of our performance. We also believe adding Debt less Cash and cash equivalents to Total stockholders’ equity provides a better comparison across similar businesses regarding total capitalization, and ROIC highlights the level of value creation as a percentage of capital invested. As the tables below show, our ROIC at September 30, 2017 was 1.8%.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $54.8 million when compared to the same period in 2016.  The increase in net sales was driven by the higher net sales in our AWP, MP and Cranes segments and the positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates of approximately $16 million, partially offset by the divestiture of certain construction product lines in Corporate.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $35.1 million when compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased sales volume, structural cost savings and improved factory utilization, partially offset by unfavorable changes in customer and product mix and increased commodity prices (primarily steel related) in our AWP and Cranes segments.

SG&A costs for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $10.5 million when compared to the same period in 2016.  The increase was primarily due to the impact of investment in a strategic sourcing organization that did not exist in 2016, external support for our transformation initiatives and higher accruals for team member incentive compensation due to better than planned Company performance in 2017, partially offset by general and administrative cost reductions from actions taken in 2016 and reduced costs associated with the divestiture of certain construction product lines.

Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $24.6 million when compared to the same period in 2016.  The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes, structural cost savings and improved factory utilization, partially offset by unfavorable changes in customer and product mix and increased commodity prices (primarily steel related).

Net sales for the AWP segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $72.3 million when compared to the same period in 2016 primarily from net sales volume increases in North America and Europe, particularly with respect to booms and telehandlers.

Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $8.9 million when compared to the same period in 2016.  The increase was primarily due to increased sales volume, improved factory utilization and lower other operating expenses, partially offset by decreases from changes in customer mix and increased commodity prices (primarily steel related).

Net sales for the Cranes segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $19.1 million when compared to the same period in 2016 primarily driven by increases in used machines sales and the positive impact of foreign exchange rates changes, particularly in Europe, of approximately $9 million.  The global crane markets, although stabilizing, continue to be adversely impacted by low oil, gas and commodity prices as well as the continuing effect of changes to subsidies in the wind energy market in Germany.

Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $10.8 million when compared to the same period in 2016. The year over year improvement was driven by structural cost savings, improved warranty run rate and higher sales volume, partially offset by increased commodity prices and changes in product mix, primarily reduced sales of large crawler cranes.

Net sales amounts include sales in various construction equipment product lines and on-book financings of TFS, as well as elimination of intercompany sales activity among segments. The net sales decrease is primarily attributable to approximately $82 million related to the divestiture of our construction product lines partially offset by increased government sales.

Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $4.0 million when compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in operating loss is primarily attributable to investments in a strategic sourcing organization that did not exist in 2016, external support for our transformation initiatives and higher accruals for team member incentive compensation, partially offset by higher operating losses incurred by divested construction product lines and restructuring charges incurred in the prior year quarter.

Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, our interest expense net of interest income was $13.6 million, or $10.8 million lower than the same period in the prior year due to lower borrowings at lower rates.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.7 million related to an amendment of the 2017 Credit Agreement which lowered the interest rate on the Company’s senior secured term loan by 0.25%, as further described in Note M - “Long-Term Obligations”.


41



Other Income (Expense) – Net

Other income (expense) – net for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was income of $6.8 million compared to an expense of $1.3 million in 2016, an $8.1 million increase when compared to the same period in the prior year. As described in Note B - “Sale of MHPS Business and Investment Carried at Fair Value”, we sold Konecranes shares received in connection with the sale of MHPS. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a net gain on sale, including the effects of foreign exchange rate changes, of $3.4 million. The prior year period included SAPA and BCA cost of approximately $2 million.

Income Taxes

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized income tax expense of $0.1 million on income of $56.7 million, an effective tax rate of 0.2%, as compared to an income tax benefit of $19.3 million on income of $13.9 million, an effective tax rate of (138.8)%, for the three months ended September 30, 2016.  The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to lower tax benefits from the establishment of net operating loss carryforwards and geographic mix of earnings when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.


Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations - net of tax for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $64.1 million. The gain was primarily due to a recognized gain of $55.6 million ($55.6 million after-tax) to reverse an impairment charge related to the MHPS disposal group taken in the second quarter of 2016.


Gain (Loss) on Disposition of Discontinued Operations

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a gain on disposition of discontinued operations - net of tax of $2.6 million related to the sale of our MHPS business.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $168.6 million when compared to the same period in 2016.  The decline in net sales was driven by the divestiture of certain construction product lines in Corporate and lower net sales in Cranes, partially offset by higher net sales in AWP and MP. Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted consolidated net sales by approximately $29 million.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $4.3 million when compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume in our MP and AWP segments as well as structural cost savings, improved factory utilization and reduced restructuring charges in our AWP and Cranes segments. The increase was partially offset by lower sales volume for Cranes, changes in customer and product mix and commodity price increases (primarily steel) in our AWP and Cranes segments, increased freight costs in our AWP segment, the negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes for AWP and MP and divestiture of certain construction product lines in Corporate.

SG&A costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $5.2 million when compared to the same period in 2016.  The decrease was primarily due to the impact of general and administrative cost reductions from actions taken in 2016 and reduced costs associated with the divestiture of certain construction product lines in Corporate, partially offset by higher accruals for team member incentive compensation due to better than planned Company performance in 2017, investment in a strategic sourcing organization that did not exist in 2016 and external support for our transformation initiatives.

Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $9.5 million when compared to the same period in 2016.  The increase was primarily due to increased operating performance in our Cranes segment mostly due to structural cost savings and reduced restructuring costs and higher sales volume in our MP segment, partially offset by lower operating performance in our AWP segment, mostly due to changes in customer mix and increased commodity prices (primarily steel related).

Net sales for the AWP segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $23.3 million when compared to the same period in 2016 primarily from net sales volume increases in Asia Pacific, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange rate changes, particularly in Europe, of approximately $11 million.

Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $19.2 million when compared to the same period in 2016.  The decrease was primarily due to changes in customer mix, increased commodity prices (primarily steel related), increased freight costs and the negative impact of foreign exchange activity. Partially offsetting these decreases were improved net sales volume, improved factory utilization and lower other operating expenses, including general and administrative expenses.

Net sales for the Cranes segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $77.9 million when compared to the same period in 2016 as global crane markets, although stabilizing, continue to be adversely impacted by low oil, gas and commodity prices, as well as the continuing effect of changes to subsidies in the wind energy market in Germany.

Loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $21.9 million when compared to the same period in 2016. The year over year improvement was due primarily to structural cost savings, improved warranty run rate, approximately $18 million in reductions to severance accruals established in the fourth quarter of the prior year as production volumes are expected to exceed earlier forecasts requiring us to maintain a higher headcount and an approximately $12 million net change of severance and restructuring charges year over year. The improvement was partially offset by lower sales volume, changes in product mix primarily reduced sales of large crawler and rough terrain cranes, and increased commodity prices.

Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $25.4 million when compared to the same period in 2016, primarily from the effect of increased sales volume partially offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange activity of approximately $5 million.

Net sales amounts include sales in various construction equipment product lines and on-book financing of TFS, as well as elimination of intercompany sales activity among segments. The net sales decrease is primarily attributable to approximately $228 million related to the divestiture of our construction product lines.

Loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $18.6 million when compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in operating loss is primarily attributable to investments in a strategic sourcing organization that did not exist in 2016, external support for our transformation initiatives, higher accruals for team member incentive compensation and higher foreign exchange transactional losses, partially offset by gains on the sale of certain construction product line assets and higher operating losses incurred by divested construction product lines and restructuring charges incurred in the prior year quarter.

Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our interest expense net of interest income was $46.8 million, or $25.5 million lower than the same period in the prior year due to lower borrowings at lower rates.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $52.6 million related to the termination of our 2014 Credit Agreement, the retirement of our 6% Notes and 6-1/2% Notes and an amendment related to the 2017 Credit Agreement which lowered the interest rate on the Company’s senior secured term loan by 0.25%, all as further described in Note M - “Long-Term Obligations”.


45



Other Income (Expense) – Net

Other income (expense) – net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was income of $52.2 million, a $65.5 million increase in income when compared to the same period in the prior year. As described in Note B - “Sale of MHPS Business and Investment Carried at Fair Value”, we sold all Konecranes shares received in connection with sale of MHPS. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a net gain on sale, including the effects of foreign exchange rate changes, of $42.0 million. and recorded related dividend income of $13.5 million. Additionally, increased income in the current year period is attributable to merger-related costs incurred in the prior year period, partially offset by increased losses from foreign currency exchange in the current period.

Income Taxes

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized an income tax benefit of $5.1 million on income of $86.6 million, an effective tax rate of (5.9)%, as compared to an income tax benefit of $82.5 million on income of $38.3 million, an effective tax rate of (215.4)%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The higher effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to lower tax benefits from the establishment of net operating loss carryforwards, valuation allowance releases and agreement with a non-U.S. authority with respect to certain tax matters extending back a period of years, partially offset by low-taxed capital gains from the disposition of Konecranes shares, tax benefits from interest deductions, and geographic mix of earnings when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations - net of tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $33.4 million. The loss resulted primarily from severance and restructuring charges and lower net sales volumes, partially offset by reduced depreciation and amortization expenses because depreciation and amortization expense ceased upon initial classification of the MHPS disposal group as held for sale.


Gain (Loss) on Disposition of Discontinued Operations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a gain on disposition of discontinued operations - net of tax of $60.7 million related to the sale of our MHPS business and $3.0 million due to contractual earnout payments related to the sale of our Atlas heavy construction equipment and knuckle-boom cranes businesses (“Atlas”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a gain on disposition of discontinued operations - net of tax of $3.5 million, related primarily to Atlas contractual earnout payments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We are focused on generating cash and maintaining liquidity (cash and availability under our revolving credit facility) for the efficient operation of our business.  We had cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents recorded as Current assets held for sale, of $595.7 million at September 30, 2017. We had undrawn availability under our revolving credit facility of $450.0 million, giving us total liquidity of $1,045.7 million. In January 2017, we reduced the size of our revolving credit facility by $150 million, which was a key driver of our liquidity at September 30, 2017 decreasing by approximately $56 million as compared to December 31, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we generated approximately $835 million in cash due to the sale of our MHPS business and approximately $770 million in cash from the sales of our Konecranes shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we used our liquidity to fund operations of approximately $101 million, to repay debt, net of debt issuances, of approximately $583 million and to repurchase approximately $770 million of our common stock.

Typically, we have invested our cash in a combination of highly rated, liquid money market funds and in short-term bank deposits with large, highly rated banks. Our investment objective is to preserve capital and liquidity while earning a market rate of interest.

We seek to use cash held by our foreign subsidiaries to support our operations and continued growth plans outside the United States through funding of capital expenditures, operating expenses or other similar cash needs of these operations. Most of this cash could be used in the U.S., if necessary. Cash repatriated to the U.S. could be subject to incremental local and U.S. taxation. Because our expectation for changes to existing tax laws worldwide is high, we will continue to monitor tax legislation for opportunities to tax-efficiently mobilize and redeploy funds. There are no trends, demands or uncertainties as a result of the Company’s cash re-investment policy that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on us as a whole or that may be relevant to our financial flexibility.

Consistent with our expectations, we used cash in operations in the first nine months of 2017. Generating cash from operations depends primarily on our ability to earn net income through the sales of our products and to manage our investment in working capital. We generated $49.0 million in free cash flow in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and had negative free cash flow of $101.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We are now forecasting free cash flow to be neutral for the full year 2017, as we are deploying working capital to fund future growth.

(1) In connection with adopting Accounting Standard Update 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” net cash provided by operating activities increased by $0.5 million and net cash used in operating activities decreased $36.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, with a corresponding increase to net cash used in financing activities on the statement of cash flows.

Our main sources of funding are cash generated from operations, including cash generated from the sale of receivables, loans from our bank credit facilities and funds raised in capital markets.   Pursuant to terms of our trade accounts receivable factoring arrangements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold, without recourse, approximately $465.4 million of trade accounts receivable to provide additional liquidity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we also sold approximately $149.5 million of sales-type leases and commercial loans.

We believe cash generated from operations, including cash generated from the sale of receivables, together with access to our bank credit facilities and cash on hand, provide adequate liquidity to continue to support internal operating initiatives and meet our operating and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. See Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a detailed description of the risks resulting from our debt and our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to operate our business.

Our ability to generate cash from operations is subject to numerous factors, including the following:

Many of our customers fund their purchases through third-party finance companies that extend credit based on the credit-worthiness of customers and expected residual value of our equipment.  Changes either in customers’ credit profile or used equipment values may affect the ability of customers to purchase equipment.  There can be no assurance third-party finance companies will continue to extend credit to our customers as they have in the past.
As our sales change, the amount of working capital needed to support our business may change.
Our suppliers extend payment terms to us primarily based on our overall credit rating.  Declines in our credit rating may influence suppliers’ willingness to extend terms and in turn increase cash requirements of our business.
Sales of our products are subject to general economic conditions, weather, competition, translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes, and other factors that in many cases are outside our direct control.  For example, during periods of economic uncertainty, our customers have delayed purchasing decisions, which reduces cash generated from operations.
Availability and utilization of other sources of liquidity such as trade receivables sales programs.

Working capital as a percent of trailing three month annualized net sales was 23.3% at September 30, 2017.

The following tables show the calculation of our working capital in continuing operations and trailing three months annualized sales as of September 30, 2017 (in millions):

On January 31, 2017, we entered into a new credit agreement which was subsequently amended on August 17, 2017 (the “2017 Credit Agreement”). The 2017 Credit Agreement provides us with a senior secured revolving line of credit of up to $450 million that is available through January 31, 2022 and a $400 million senior secured term loan, which will mature on January 31, 2024. The 2017 Credit Agreement allows unlimited incremental commitments, which may be extended at the option of existing or new lenders and can be in the form of revolving credit commitments, term loan commitments, or a combination of both, with incremental amounts in excess of $300 million as long as the Company satisfies a senior secured leverage ratio contained in the 2017 Credit Agreement.

Our previous credit agreement provided us with a revolving line of credit of up to $600 million. See Note M - “Long-Term Obligations,” in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning the 2017 Credit Agreement and our previous credit agreement. We had no borrowings on our revolving line of credit under the 2017 Credit Agreement at September 30, 2017.

Interest rates charged under the revolving line of credit in the 2017 Credit Agreement are subject to adjustment based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The U.S. dollar term loan bears interest at a rate of London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.25%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. At September 30, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on the term loan under the 2017 Credit Agreement was 3.58%.

We manage our interest rate risk by maintaining a balance between fixed and floating rate debt, including use of interest rate derivatives when appropriate. Over the long term, we believe this mix will produce lower interest cost than a purely fixed rate mix while reducing interest rate risk.


48



On January 31, 2017, we sold and issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 (“5-5/8% Notes”) at par in a private offering. The proceeds from the 5-5/8% Notes, together with cash on hand, including cash from the sale of our MHPS business, was used: (i) to complete a tender offer for up to $550.0 million of our 6% Senior Notes due 2021 (“6% Notes”), (ii) to redeem and discharge such portion of the 6% Notes not purchased in the tender offer, (iii) to fund a $300.0 million partial redemption of the 6% Notes, (iv) to fund repayments of all $300.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 6-1/2% Senior Notes due 2020 (“6-1/2% Notes”) on or before April 3, 2017, (v) to pay related premiums, fees, discounts and expenses and (vi) for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings outstanding under our previous credit agreement. During the first quarter, all of the 6% Notes were redeemed and $45.8 million of the 6-1/2% Notes were repurchased. On April 3, 2017, the remaining $254.2 million of 6-1/2% Notes was redeemed. The 5-5/8% Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. See Note M – “Long-Term Obligations” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Our investment in financial services assets was approximately $221 million, net at September 30, 2017. We remain focused on expanding financing solutions in key markets like the U.S. and Europe. We also anticipate using TFS to drive incremental sales by increasing direct customer financing through TFS in certain instances.

In February 2015, we announced authorization by our Board of Directors for the repurchase of up to $200 million of our outstanding shares of common stock of which approximately $131 million of this authorization was utilized prior to January 1, 2017. In February 2017, we announced authorization by our Board of Directors for the repurchase of up to an additional $350 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. In May 2017, we announced the completion of the February 2015 and February 2017 authorizations and subsequently that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $280 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. In September 2017, we announced the completion of the May 2017 authorization and subsequently that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $225 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased a total of 22.3 million shares for $770.2 million under these programs. In each of the first three quarters of 2017, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.08 per share, which was paid to our shareholders. On October 11, 2017 our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share, to be paid on December 19, 2017 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2017.

Our ability to access capital markets to raise funds, through sale of equity or debt securities, is subject to various factors, some specific to us and others related to general economic and/or financial market conditions.  These include results of operations, projected operating results for future periods and debt to equity leverage.  Our ability to access capital markets is also subject to our timely filing of periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  In addition, terms of our bank credit facilities, senior notes and senior subordinated notes contain restrictions on our ability to make further borrowings and to sell substantial portions of our assets.

Cash Flows

Cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $56.2 million, compared to cash provided by operations of $100.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The change in cash from operations was primarily driven by higher restructuring, severance and other accruals, including those related to our former MHPS business, set up in the prior year and settled in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,549.8 million, compared to $2.7 million cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to cash received from the sale of our MHPS business, including the subsequent sale of Konecranes stock in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Cash used in financing activities was $1,434.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $226.8 million. The increase in cash used in financing was primarily due to share repurchases and redemptions of our 6-1/2% Notes and 6% Notes and a reduction in term loans, partially offset by the issuance of our 5-5/8% Notes in the current year period.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Guarantees

Our customers, from time to time, fund the acquisition of our equipment through third-party finance companies.  In certain instances, we may provide a credit guarantee to the finance company by which we agree to make payments to the finance company should the customer default.  Our maximum liability is generally limited to our customer’s remaining payments due to the finance company at the time of default.  In the event of a customer default, we are generally able to recover and dispose of the equipment at a minimum loss, if any, to us.

We issue, from time to time, residual value guarantees under sales-type leases.  A residual value guarantee involves a guarantee that a piece of equipment will have a minimum fair market value at a future date if certain conditions are met by the customer. We are generally able to mitigate the risk associated with these guarantees because maturity of guarantees is staggered, which limits the amount of used equipment entering the marketplace at any one time.

We guarantee, from time to time, that we will buy equipment from our customers in the future at a stated price if certain conditions are met by the customer.  Such guarantees are referred to as buyback guarantees.  These conditions generally pertain to functionality and state of repair of the machine.  We are generally able to mitigate risk of these guarantees by staggering the timing of the buybacks and through leveraging our access to used equipment markets provided by our original equipment manufacturer status.

See Note O – “Litigation and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our guarantees.

There can be no assurance our historical experience in used equipment markets will be indicative of future results.  Our ability to recover losses from our guarantees may be affected by economic conditions in used equipment markets at the time of loss.

CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

Foreign Currencies and Interest Rate Risk

Our products are sold in over 100 countries around the world and, accordingly, our revenues are generated in foreign currencies, while costs associated with those revenues are only partly incurred in the same currencies.  The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to manage the variability of future cash flows associated with recognized assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions due to changing currency exchange rates.  Primary currencies to which the Company is exposed are the Euro, British Pound and Australian Dollar.

We manage exposure to interest rates by incurring a mix of indebtedness bearing interest at both floating and fixed rates at inception and maintaining an ongoing balance between floating and fixed rates on this mix of indebtedness using interest rate swaps when necessary.

See Note K – “Derivative Financial Instruments” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about our derivatives.

See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” below for a discussion of the impact that changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates may have on our financial performance.


50



Other

We are subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties including, without limitation, product liability claims, workers’ compensation liability, intellectual property litigation, self-insurance obligations, tax examinations, guarantees, class action lawsuits and other matters. See Note O – “Litigation and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information concerning contingencies and uncertainties, including our securities and stockholder derivative lawsuits, and our proceedings involving certain former shareholders of Demag Cranes AG.  We are insured for product liability, general liability, workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, property damage, intellectual property and other insurable risks required by law or contract with retained liability to us or deductibles. Many of the exposures are unasserted or proceedings are at a preliminary stage, and it is not presently possible to estimate the amount or timing of our liability. However, we do not believe these contingencies and uncertainties will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our operations. For contingencies and uncertainties other than income taxes, when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and possible to make reasonable estimates of our liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or for the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

We generate hazardous and non-hazardous wastes in the normal course of our manufacturing operations. As a result, we are subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations. All of our employees are required to obey all health, safety and environmental laws and regulations and must observe the proper safety rules and environmental practices in work situations. These laws and regulations govern actions that may have adverse environmental effects, such as discharges to air and water, and require compliance with certain practices when handling and disposing of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. These laws and regulations would also impose liability for the costs of, and damages resulting from, cleaning up sites, past spills, disposals and other releases of hazardous substances, should any such events occur. We are committed to complying with these standards and monitoring our workplaces to determine if equipment, machinery and facilities meet specified safety standards. Each of our facilities is subject to an environmental audit at least once every three years to monitor compliance and no incidents have occurred which required us to pay material amounts to comply with such laws and regulations. We are dedicated to seeing that safety and health hazards are adequately addressed through appropriate work practices, training and procedures. For example, we continue to reduce lost time injuries in the workplace and work toward a world-class level of safety practices in our industry.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Please refer to Note A – “Basis of Presentation” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of recently issued accounting standards.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks that exist as part of our ongoing business operations and we use derivative financial instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. As a matter of policy, we do not engage in trading or speculative transactions. For further information on accounting related to derivative financial instruments, refer to Note K – “Derivative Financial Instruments” in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency cash flows related to third-party purchases and sales, intercompany product shipments and other intercompany transactions. We are also exposed to fluctuations in the value of foreign currency investments in subsidiaries and cash flows related to repatriation of these investments. Additionally, we are exposed to volatility in translation of foreign currency earnings to U.S. Dollars. Primary exposures include the U.S. Dollar when compared to functional currencies of our major markets, which include the Euro, British Pound and Australian Dollar. We assess foreign currency risk based on transactional cash flows, identify naturally offsetting positions and use hedging instruments to partially offset anticipated exposures.

At September 30, 2017, we performed a sensitivity analysis on the impact that aggregate changes in the translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes would have on our operating income.  Based on this sensitivity analysis, we have determined that a change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies by 10% to amounts already incorporated in the financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have had approximately a $14 million impact on the translation effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes already included in our reported operating income for the period.


51



Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to future issuances of fixed rate debt and existing issuances of variable rate debt. Primary exposure includes movements in the U.S. prime rate and LIBOR. We manage interest rate risk by incurring a mix of indebtedness bearing interest at both floating and fixed rates at inception and maintain an ongoing balance between floating and fixed rates on this mix of indebtedness using interest rate swaps when necessary. At September 30, 2017, approximately 40% of our debt was floating rate debt and the weighted average interest rate for all debt was 4.74%.

At September 30, 2017, we performed a sensitivity analysis for our derivatives and other financial instruments that have interest rate risk.  We calculated the pretax earnings effect on our interest sensitive instruments.  Based on this sensitivity analysis, we have determined that an increase of 10% in our average floating interest rates at September 30, 2017 would have increased interest expense by approximately $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Commodities Risk

Principal materials and components that we use in our manufacturing processes include steel, castings, engines, tires, hydraulics, cylinders, drive trains, electric controls and motors, and a variety of other commodities and fabricated or manufactured items. Extreme movements in the cost and availability of these materials and components may affect our financial performance. During the first nine months of 2017, unfavorable input cost changes in some areas, largely related to steel prices, were partially off-set by favorable changes in other areas. We are monitoring global steel prices, as a sustained increase in prices would have an unfavorable impact on our input costs.

In the absence of labor strikes or other unusual circumstances, substantially all materials and components are normally available from multiple suppliers. However, certain of our businesses receive materials and components from a single source supplier, although alternative suppliers of such materials may be generally available. Current and potential suppliers are evaluated regularly on their ability to meet our requirements and standards. We actively manage our material supply sourcing, and employ various methods to limit risk associated with commodity cost fluctuations and availability. The inability of suppliers, especially any single source suppliers for a particular business, to deliver materials and components promptly could result in production delays and increased costs to manufacture our products. We have designed and implemented plans to mitigate the impact of these risks by using alternate suppliers, expanding our supply base globally, leveraging our overall purchasing volumes to obtain favorable quantities and developing a closer working relationship with key suppliers. One key element of our Execute to Win strategy is to focus on strategic sourcing to gain efficiencies using our global purchasing power, which includes building a global sourcing organization and standardizing our sourcing processes across our businesses.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.  In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, as of September 30, 2017, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act.  Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2017.

(b)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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