Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
(In thousands, except par value and per share data)
Note 1. Business Description
Nature of Operations
ASV Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “ASV”) primarily designs, manufactures and markets compact track loaders and skid steer loaders as well as related parts for use primarily in the construction, landscaping, and agricultural industries. The Company’s headquarters and manufacturing facility is located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Products are marketed and sold in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Latin America.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial statements, included herein, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and have been consistently applied. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2019 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures and contingencies. The Company evaluates estimates used in preparation of the accompanying financial statements on a continual basis. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 11, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements.”
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on individual customer review and current economic conditions. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts at least quarterly. Individual balances exceeding a threshold amount that are over 90 days past due are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by type of receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.
The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts was $112 and $109 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues result from the sale of goods or services and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with
7
Customers ("ASC 606"). For its cust omer contracts, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods or services), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when (or as) the performance oblig ation is satisfied. A good or service is transferred when the customer obtains control of that good or service. The Company principally generates revenue from the sale of equipment and parts to dealers, distributors and Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OE M”) customers and recognizes revenue at a point in time when control transfers. The Company recognizes revenue for each distinct good or service when control of the good or service has transferred to the customer. Transfer of control is generally determine d based on the shipping terms of the contract, with most of our sales recognized F.O.B. shipping point, as that is the time we have a present right to payment, the customer takes possession of the goods, and the customer has the risks and reward of ownersh ip. For most of our contracts, the customer takes legal title upon shipment; however, under the terms of our contract with certain international distributors, title does not transfer until we are paid for the goods. We retain title solely to maintain a sec urity interest in the assets and have concluded that such right is protective in nature and that control transfers at the time of shipment based on the other control indicators. Generally, there is no-post shipment obligation on product sold other than sta ndard assurance-type warranty obligations in the normal and ordinary course of business, typically a twelve to eighteen-month warranty period. Payment terms range from 0-60 days for domestic sales and 0-180 days for international sales.
Provisions for sales program incentives (such as wholesale subsidies, retail subsidies and customer cash), product returns, and discounts and allowances are variable consideration and are accounted for as a reduction of revenue and establishment of a liability (or contra asset receivable as appropriate) using the expected value method. The Company considers historical data in determining its best estimates of variable consideration. These estimates are reviewed regularly for appropriateness, considering also whether the estimates should be constrained in order to avoid a significant reversal of revenue recognition in a future period. Typically, all qualifying machine sales to distributors or dealers provide for program incentives that are accrued at the time of sales. If updated information or actual amounts are different from previous estimates of variable consideration, the revisions are included in the results for the period in which they become known through a cumulative effect adjustment to revenue. In addition, the Company’s contracts with customers generally do not include significant financing components or noncash consideration. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract (primarily sales commissions) as selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Statements of Operations, because the amortization period would be less than one year.
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by geographic location and major customer (see Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk) as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Accrued Warranties
The Company records accruals for potential warranty claims based on its claim experience. The Company’s products are typically sold with a standard warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period.
A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. 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.
Litigation Claims
In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the Company must assess the allegations and the likelihood that it will successfully defend itself. When the Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular matter, it will then record an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on advice of outside legal counsel.
Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of federal and state taxes, as applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that it expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary.
The Company is estimating an annual effective tax rate of 18.3% (excluding discrete items) for the year ending December 31, 2019. Our effective tax rate is affected by recurring items such as state and local taxes, a reduced federal tax rate for foreign derived intangible income and federal research and development credits.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not record an income tax benefit on its pre-tax loss of $(737) pursuant to the authoritative accounting literature prescribed in ASC 740-27-30-30 through 33.
8
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $(81), which consists of a federal and state income tax benefit on its pre-tax loss of $(388).
At March 31, 2019, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying Statement of Income.
Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk
Caterpillar Inc., an OEM customer, and CEG Distributions PTY Ltd., the Company’s Australian master distributor, accounted for 24% and 26% of the Company’s Net Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively, as well as 56% of the Company’s Accounts Receivable at March 31, 2019.

Any disruptions to these two customer relationships could have adverse effects on the Company’s financial results. The Company manages dealer and OEM concentration risk by evaluating in advance the financial condition and creditworthiness of its dealers and OEM customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, if needed, based upon expected collectability. Any reserves established for doubtful accounts is re-evaluated on a case-by-case basis when it is believed the payment of specific amounts owed to us is unlikely to occur. The Company has secured a credit insurance policy for certain accounts with a policy limit of liability of not more than $8,600.

Note 6 . Debt
On March 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“PNC”). The principal modification to the Amended and
10
Restated Credit Agreement resulting from the S econd Amendment replaces the maximum leverage ratio requirements for 2019 with a minimum EBITDA covenant and beginning in March of 2020, removes the minimum EBITDA covenant and reverts to a leverage ratio requirement of 2.75 to 1.00, which shall step down to 2.25 to 1.00 by September 30, 2020. In addition, the applicable margin for each advance under the credit agreement was increased by 50 basis points for the period from March 28, 2019 until the first business day following receipt by PNC of the Company’s certificate of compliance with the applicable leverage ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and the inventory sub-limit was increased to $18 million.
Revolving Loan Facility with PNC
The Company’s $35,000 revolving loan facility with PNC includes two sub-facilities: (i) a $2,000 letter of credit sub-facility, and (ii) a $3,500 swing loan sub-facility, each of which is fully reserved against availability under the revolving loan facility. The facility matures on December 27, 2022.
The $35,000 revolving loan facility is a secured financing facility under which borrowing availability is limited to existing collateral as defined in the agreement. The maximum amount available is limited to (i) the sum of (a) up to 85% of Eligible Receivables, plus (b) 90% of Eligible Insured Foreign Receivables, plus (c) the lesser of (I) 95% of Eligible CAT Receivables, or $8,600 plus (ii) the lesser of (A) the sum of (I) up to 65% of the value of the Eligible Inventory (other than Eligible Inventory consisting of finished goods machines and service parts that are current), plus (II) 80% of the value of Eligible inventory consisting of finished goods machines, plus (III) 75% of the value of Eligible Inventory consisting of service parts that are current) or, (B) up to 90% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory. Inventory collateral is capped at $18,000 less outstanding letters of credit and any reasonable reserves as established by the bank. At March 31, 2019, the maximum the Company could borrow based on available collateral was capped at $26,640.
At March 31, 2019, the Company had drawn $22,707 under the $35,000 revolving loan facility. The Company can opt to pay interest on the revolving credit facility at either a domestic rate plus a spread, or a LIBOR rate plus a spread. The domestic rate spread is initially fixed at 1.00% for revolving loan advances until delivery of certain reporting documents with respect to fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018, at which point it ranges from 1.00% to 1.5% depending on the Average Undrawn Availability (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The LIBOR spread is initially fixed at 2.00% for revolving loan advances until delivery of the same reporting documents, at which point it ranges from 2.00% to 2.5% depending on the Average Undrawn Availability. Funds borrowed under the LIBOR options can set the borrowing rate for periods of one, two, or three months. The weighted average interest rate for the period ended March 31, 2019 was 5.5%. Additionally, the bank assesses a 0.25% unused line fee that is payable quarterly.
Term Loan C with PNC
On December 27, 2017 the Company entered into a $15,000 term loan (“Term Loan C”) facility, with PNC as the administrative agent.
At March 31, 2019, the Company had an outstanding balance of $12,500, less $304 debt issuance costs, for net term loan debt of $12,196. The Company can opt to pay interest on the Term Loan C facility at either a domestic rate plus a spread, or a LIBOR rate plus a spread. For term loan advances the domestic rate spread is fixed at 3.75%, and the LIBOR spread is fixed at 4.75%. Funds borrowed under the LIBOR options can set the borrowing rate for periods of one, two, or three months. The weighted average interest rate for the period ending March 31, 2019 was 7.7%.
The Company is obligated to make quarterly principal payments of $500, which commenced on January 1, 2018. If the term loan is prepaid in full or in part prior to the maturity date, the Company will be required to pay a prepayment penalty. If paid prior to December 27, 2019 the prepayment penalty will be equal to 2.0% of the prepayment. The prepayment penalty percentage reduces to 1% on or after December 27, 2020, and no penalty if on or after the December 27, 2021. There will be no prepayment obligation in the event that the prepayment of the obligation in full is funded in connection with a refinancing for which PNC is the administrative agent. Any unpaid principal is due on maturity, which is December 27, 2022. Interest is payable monthly beginning on January 1, 2018.
Loan Agreements with State Agencies
In October 2017, the Company entered into two loan agreements with the State of Minnesota related to the establishment of a new parts distribution center in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. The first loan agreement is a $300 loan with a ten-year term at an interest rate of 3%, with loan forgiveness if certain criteria is met. The lender will forgive $150 of principal and all accrued interest should the Company attain and maintain agreed upon employment levels on the fifth anniversary date of the loan (and not otherwise be in
11
default) and will forgive the remaining $150 of principal and all accrued interest should the Company attain and maintain employment levels at the tenth anniversary of the loan. Should the Company not attain or maintain the agreed upon levels of employment, $150 in principal plus accrued interest will be due on the fifth anniversary of the closing date with the remaining balance being due and payable on the due date of the loan. The second loan agreement is a $125 no interest loan with a seventy-five-month term that includes partial forgiveness if certain criteria are met. The lender will forgive up to $50 of the $125 loan should ASV attain and maintain job creation goals and wage level commitments. The zero-interest loan is to be p aid back through monthly payments over the term of the loan. The establishment of the parts distribution center was completed, and loan proceeds disbursed during 2018.
Covenants
The Company’s indebtedness is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The facilities contain customary limitations including, but not limited to, limitations on additional indebtedness, acquisitions, and payment of dividends. The Company is also required to comply with certain financial covenants as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company is limited to capital expenditures not to exceed $2,000 in any fiscal year. The revolving credit facility and the term loans require the Company to maintain a Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.0. Additionally, the term loans require, as per the Second Amendment, as described above, the Company attains a minimum EBITDA covenant. The Company was in compliance with all covenants when required to be measured during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Note 7. Equity
2017 Equity Incentive Plan
On May 11, 2017, the Company adopted the ASV Holdings, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan is 1,250 shares. The total number of shares reserved for issuance however, can be adjusted to reflect certain corporate transactions or changes in the Company’s capital structure. The Company’s employees and members of the board of directors who are not the Company’s employees or employees of the Company’s affliliates are eligible to participate in the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. The 2017 Plan provides that the committee has the authority to, among other things, select plan participants, determine the type and amount of rewards, determine the award terms, fix all other conditions of any awards, interpret the plan and any plan awards. Under the 2017 Plan, the committee can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units. The 2017 Plan requires that the exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights be not less then fair market value of the Company’s common stock on date of grant.
The Company awarded a total of 100 restricted stock units to directors and employees under the 2017 Plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The restricted stock units are subject to the same conditions as the restricted stock awards except the restricted stock units will not have voting rights and the common stock will not be issued until the vesting criteria are satisfied.
The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units:

On January 10, 2019, the Company granted an aggregate of 60 restricted stock units to employees pursuant to the 2017 Plan. Restricted stock units of 20, 20, and 20 vest in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
On March 11, 2019, the Company granted 39 restricted stock units to directors pursuant to the 2017 Plan. These stock units immediately vested.
On March 11, 2019, the Company granted an aggregate of 1 restricted stock unit to employees pursuant to the 2017 Plan. This stock unit immediately vested.
The value of the restricted stock is being charged to compensation expense over the vesting period and the Company has elected to account for foreitures as they occur. Compensation expense includes expense related to restricted stock units of $136 and $149 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock units will be recognized as follows: $274, $238, and $62 for the remainder of 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively.

Note 8 . Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, general liability, workers’ compensation liability, and employment 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 has recorded 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.
Note 9. Leases
The Company has operating leases for its distribution center, research and development facilities, automobiles, and certain equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 16 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 6 years. The distribution center lease agreement includes both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent, taxes, and insurance costs) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area or other maintenance costs) which can be accounted for as a single lease component. The Company has not elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for applicable leases.
Leases may include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at our sole discretion. Renewals to extend the lease terms for the distribution center are included in our Right of Use (“ROU”) operating lease assets and lease liabilities as they are reasonably certain of exercise. The renewal options are evaluated with each lease and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal period is included in our lease term.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.
Certain operating leases for vehicles contain residual value guarantee provisions which would generally become due at the expiration of the operating lease agreement if the fair value of the leased vehicles is less than the guaranteed residual value. The aggregate residual value guarantee related to these leases was approximately $29. We believe the likelihood of funding the guarantee obligation under any provision of the operating lease agreements is remote. To the extent our fleet contains vehicles we estimate will settle at a gain, such gains on these vehicles will be recognized when we sell the vehicle.

Note 11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases, which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842, which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of ASC 842, Leases, as the date of initial application of transition, which we elected. As a result of the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded both operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $1.0 million and lease liabilities of $1.0 million. The adoption of ASC 842 had an immaterial impact on our Condensed Statements of Operations and Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.
Additional information and disclosures required by the new standard are contained in Note 9, Leases.
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the FASB ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230): Statement of Cash Flows” (“ASU 2016-15”), which clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 also clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for emerging growth companies. This had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the FASB ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting.” This ASU is intended to provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions on a share-based payment
14
award require an entity to apply modification accountin g. This new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period, for emerging growth companies, with early adoption permitted. This had no effect on the Company’s financial stat ements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors,” in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors”.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section contains references to “EBITDA”. EBITDA is defined for the purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance and provides meaningful measures of overall corporate performance exclusive of our capital structure and the method and timing of expenditures associated with building and placing our products. EBITDA is also presented because management believes that it is frequently used by investment analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance.
However, EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure under generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss or other income statement data (which are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as an indicator of our performance or as a measure of liquidity and cash flows. Management’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ materially from the method used by other companies and accordingly, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Overview
ASV Holdings, Inc. (“ASV” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and/or “us”) designs and manufactures a broad range of high-quality compact track loader (“CTL”) and skid steer loader (“SSL”) equipment, marketed through a distribution network in North America, Australia and New Zealand under the ASV brand. We also serve as a private label original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) for several manufacturers. Our products are used principally in the construction, agricultural and forestry industries. As a full-service manufacturer, we provide pre- and post-sale dealer support, after-sale technical support and replacement parts supplied from our dedicated logistics center. We also supply a limited version of our assembled undercarriage sets that exclude the suspension to Caterpillar for three versions of Caterpillar’s multi-terrain CTL machines marketed under the CAT brand under a supply contract with Caterpillar.
Business Outlook
A number of economic indicators that we believe are relevant to our industry and products have largely been trending favorably, although housing starts slowed over the last three quarters raising concerns over the effect of higher interest rates and higher prices. A primary driver of demand for our CTL and SSL products is the United States housing market, where the level of new housing starts continues to be below pre-2007 levels. Since 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, new housing starts have incrementally increased to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.1 million units in March 2019 from approximately 0.5 million in October 2009. The preliminary March 2019 rate of 1.1 million was 14.2% below the March 2018 rate.
Construction spending in the United States is also experiencing growth. The U.S. Census Bureau reported on April 1, 2019 that total construction spending during February 2019 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.3 trillion, 1.1% above the February 2018 estimate. For the first two months of 2019, construction spending was 1.4% above the same period in 2018.
The rental sector is another important market for our products and is recording positive growth that is expected to continue. The five-year forecast from the ARA Rental Market Monitor, updated in February 2019, predicted total rental revenue in the U.S. is expected to grow by 5.0% in 2019 to reach $43.5 billion, 4.5% in 2020, 4.7% in 2021 and 4.4% in 2022. This is a sector of the economy that we are actively targeting with our products.
15
Outside North America, our largest market is Australia . The Australian Bureau of Statistics in March 2019 reported GDP growth of 2.3% in 2018, which howeve r, reflected a slowing to 0.2% in the December 2018 quarter. The lower rate of growth in the final quarter was influenced by soft household spending and a decline in dwelling investment.
The economies of the markets to which we sell our products have for the past few years operated with interest rates at historically low levels. Interest rate changes affect overall economic growth, which affects demand for residential and nonresidential structures which in turn affects sales of our products that serve these activities. Interest rate changes also affect the ability of dealers to finance machine purchases, can change the optimal time to keep machines in a fleet and can impact the ability of our suppliers to finance the production of parts and components necessary to manufacture and support our products. In the United States, during 2017 and 2018, the Federal Reserve continued increasing interest rates from their historically low levels. In 2018, the Federal Reserve increased its benchmark rate four times, in March, June, September and December. The rate is now at a range of 2.25% to 2.5%. Increases in interest rates could negatively impact our sales and create supply chain inefficiencies.
The prices the Company paid for raw materials used in manufacturing products have been impacted by tariffs. See “Commodities Risk” for the impact of tariffs on the Company.
Factors Affecting Revenues and Gross Profit
We derive most of our revenue from purchase orders from dealers and distributors. The demand for our products depends upon the general economic conditions of the markets in which we compete, residential housing starts, general construction activity and upon dealer and end-user replacement or repair cycles. Adverse economic conditions may cause dealers or end-users to forego or postpone new purchases in favor of repairing existing machinery. In addition to the United States, we sell to dealers in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. All of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against these other currencies may have a negative impact on sales volume and sales prices to dealers outside of the United States.
Factors that affect gross profit include product mix – variations between sales of larger and smaller machines and between machine sale and sales of parts and OEM undercarriages , production levels and cost of raw materials. Margins tend to increase when sales are skewed towards larger, tracked machines and replacement parts. As a consequence, gross profit margins can vary from period to period. Replacement parts generally command higher margins than product sales.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $(0.7) million compared to a net loss of $(0.3) million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the net loss of $(0.7) million consisted of revenue of $27.3 million, cost of sales of $23.9 million, research and development costs of $0.5 million, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $3.1 million, and interest expense of $0.6 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the net loss of $(0.3) million consisted of revenue of $29.9 million, cost of sales of $25.9 million, research and development costs of $0.5 million, SG&A expenses of $3.4 million, interest expense of $0.5 million, and an income tax benefit of $0.1 million.
Net Sales: For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net sales were $27.3 million, a decrease of approximately $2.5 million or 8.5% of net sales of $29.9 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in net sales is attributable to a decrease in sales of machines of $2.5 million, and a decrease in sales of undercarriages to Caterpillar of $0.6 million, offset by an increase in aftermarket parts and other sales of $0.6 million.
Total machine sales revenues declined 12% from the prior period, a combination of lower unit volumes and higher price. Adverse weather conditions across the United States and continued engine supply constraints, which limited production of certain models, impacted our shipments into North America. Sales to Australia, where economic growth has recently slowed, were also down for the period, accounting for approximately 32.8% of the year over year volume reduction.
We benefited from favorable pricing and product mix in the period, which partially offset the volume decline. Price increases effective January 1, 2019, combined with the continued steel surcharge pricing implemented in May of 2018, provided a pricing benefit of approximately $1.4 million in the period. Favorable product mix provided a benefit of approximately $1.6 million in the period.
16
We added a net seven North America dealer and rental locations during the period, bringing the overall number to 293, compared to 248 locations at the end of the same period in 2018. Same store sales for the quarter were down 9.6%.
Parts and other sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $0.6 million compared to the same period in 2018. Parts as a percentage of total sales was 24.7% and 20.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Gross Profit: For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our gross profit was $3.4 million or 12.6% of net sales compared to $3.9 million or 13.2% of net sales for the same period in 2018 . Under absorption of costs and plant inefficiencies, primarily as a result of lower volume and continued engine supply constraints combined with favorable benefits realized during first quarter 2018 negatively impacted gross profit in the period. Favorable machine pricing of $1.4 million, combined with both the positive and negative volume impacts of parts, undercarriages and machine sales offset the estimated $1.0 million in year over year increased input costs during the period. Cost reduction projects implemented in quarter one of 2019 contributed approximately $0.3 million in margin benefit for the period as well as the 2018 period being adversely impacted by $0.6 million of costs associated with the re-location of our aftermarket parts distribution center .
Research and Development: Research and development expense was $0.5 million or 1.8% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $0.5 million or 1.7% of net sales for the same period in 2018.
Selling, general and administrative expense: SG&A expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.1 million or 11.5% of net sales, compared to $3.4 million, or 11.4% of net sales, for the comparable period in 2018, a decrease of approximately $0.27 million or 8.0%, respectively. The primary contributing factor to the decrease was the elimination of selling expenses for aftermarket parts paid to Terex during the same period in 2018 following the relocation of that activity to our own facility. This benefit was partially offset by increases in marketing and advertising, including the introduction from the start of 2019 of a co-op advertising program for our dealer network to promote the brand.
Operating Income: For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our operating loss was $(0.2) million or (0.7)% of net sales, compared to operating income of $0.1 million or 0.3% of net sales for the same period in 2018. Operating income decreased due to the explanations above.
Interest expense: Interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was $0.6 million compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2018.
Tax: For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded no tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, a tax benefit of $0.1 million was recorded.
Net loss: For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our net loss was $(0.7) million compared to a net loss of $(0.3) million for the same period in 2018.
EBITDA: EBITDA totaled $1.0 million or 3.7% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1.2 million or 4.2% of net sales for the same period in 2018.
The decrease in EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 resulted from an increased net loss of $0.4 million, which included the effects of increased interest charges of $0.1 million and a reduced tax benefit of $0.1 million.

EBITDA is defined as income or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The table above reconciles net income to EBITDA. See “—Cautionary Statements Regarding Non-GAAP Measures” for further information regarding EBITDA. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We fund our business activities by utilizing a revolving credit facility, a term loan for financing, and cash generated from operations. In connection with our revolving credit facility, in October 2018 the Company entered into an amendment which included revisions to the definition of EBITDA, an increase in the allowance of certain foreign receivables and a change to the required leverage ratio. On March 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“PNC”), described in Note 6, “Debt”. The principal modification to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement resulting from the Second Amendment replaces the maximum leverage ratio requirements for 2019 with a minimum EBITDA covenant and beginning in March of 2020, removes the minimum EBITDA covenant and reverts to a leverage ratio requirement of 2.75 to 1.00, which shall step down to 2.25 to 1.00 by September 30, 2020. In addition, the applicable margin for each advance under the credit agreement was increased by 50 basis points for the period from March 28, 2019 until the first business day following receipt by PNC of the Company’s certificate of compliance with the applicable leverage ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and the inventory sub-limit was increased to $18 million.
We use our capital resources to:
|
• |
|
fund operating costs; |
|
• |
|
fund capital requirements, including capital expenditures; |
|
• |
|
make debt and interest payments; and |
|
• |
|
invest in new ventures. |
We need cash to meet our working capital needs as the business grows, to acquire capital equipment, and to fund acquisitions and debt repayment. We intend to use cash flows from operations and existing availability under the current revolving credit facility to fund anticipated levels of operations for the next twelve months. As our availability under our credit lines is limited, it is important that we manage our working capital. We may need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings to support our growth strategy, which may include additional acquisitions. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, on acceptable terms.
Cash Flows
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Operating activities consumed $4.6 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2019, comprised of net loss of $(0.7) million, non-cash items that totaled $1.4 million and changes in assets and liabilities, which consumed $5.2 million. The principal non-cash items are depreciation and amortization of $1.2 million and share-based compensation of $0.1 million.
The changes in assets and liabilities consumed $5.2 million. The changes in assets and liabilities had the following impact on cash flows: Accounts receivable generated $0.4 million, trade receivables/payables from affiliates consumed $0.1 million, inventory
18
consumed $3.9 million, trade accounts payable consumed $1.0 million, accrued expenses consumed $0.7 million and other long -t erm liabilities consumed $0.1 million . The in crease in accounts receivable is principally due to customer mix . Days sales outstanding at March 31, 2019 were 42 days, compared to 44 days at December 31, 201 8 . Inventory has increased as input costs rise, we continue to secure long lead time production components for future builds, and we maintain a larger finished goods machine inventory to satisfy demand . T he fluctuation in the remaining assets and liabilities are within a range that would normally be expected to occur.
Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 consumed $0.2 million of cash. We consumed $0.2 million of cash to purchase machinery and equipment and tooling for Tier IV product launches.
Financing activities generated $6.0 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash was generated by increased borrowing under the revolving credit facilities of $6.7 million, offset by the use of $0.5 million of cash for principal payments on debt.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Operating activities consumed $0.2 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2018 comprised of a net loss of $(0.3) million, non-cash items that totaled $1.4 million and changes in assets and liabilities, which consumed $1.4 million. The principal non-cash items are depreciation and amortization of $1.2 million, share-based compensation of $0.1 million, and an increase of inventory reserves of $0.1 million.
The changes in assets and liabilities consumed $1.4 million. The changes in assets and liabilities had the following impact on cash flows: Accounts receivable generated $1.2 million, trade receivables/payables from affiliates generated $0.2 million, inventory consumed $1.5 million, prepaid expenses generated $0.2 million, trade accounts payable consumed $0.6 million, and accrued expenses consumed $0.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable is principally due to increased sales. Days sales outstanding at March 31, 2018 were 49 days, compared to 58 days at December 31, 2017. The increase in inventory relates primarily to increased stock of long lead items to support future production schedules as well as safety stock used to supplement aftermarket parts distribution during the transition period of moving of the parts to our new facility in Grand Rapids. The fluctuation in the remaining assets and liabilities are within a range that would normally be expected to occur.
Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 consumed $0.3 million of cash. We consumed $0.3 million of cash to purchase machinery and equipment, principally related to tooling for Tier IV, information technology system upgrades and building improvements.
Financing activities generated $0.5 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cash was generated by increased borrowing under the revolving credit facilities of $1.0 million, offset by the use of $0.5 million of cash for principal payments on debt and $0.2 million of debt issuance costs incurred.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures and contingencies. We evaluate estimates used in preparation of our financial statements on a continual basis. The Company adopted ASC 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) during the period. There have been no other significant changes to our critical accounting policies that are described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 2019 we had $0.2 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. PNC Bank has issued a $0.2 million standby letter of credit in favor of an insurance carrier to secure obligations which may arise in connection with future deductible payments that may be incurred under our workers’ compensation insurance policies.
Inflation
Inflation affects us in two principal ways. First, our revolving credit facility is generally tied to the price and LIBOR interest rates so that increases in those interest rates would be translated into additional interest expense. Second, general inflation impacts prices paid for labor, parts and supplies. Whenever possible, we attempt to cover increased costs of production and capital by adjusting the price of our products. However, we generally do not have inflation-based price adjustment provisions in our contracts. The markets we
19
serve are competitive in nature, and competition may limit our ability to pass through cost increases. Overall, we strive to manage the effect of inflation through sales price adjustments, cost reductions and improved pr oductivity.
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.
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 PNC prime rate and LIBOR. At March 31, 2019, we had approximately $35.2 million of variable rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.3%. An increase of 1% in our average floating interest rates at March 31, 2019 would increase interest expense by approximately $0.4 million.
Commodities Risk
We purchase a majority of our components as partially and fully finished assemblies, rather than raw materials for conversion. However, steel is a major part of the chassis, cabs and wheel rims of our product and as such availability and pricing from our suppliers is subject to the global steel market. Extreme movements in the cost and availability of steel and other materials and components may affect our financial performance. The prices we pay for raw materials used in our products may be impacted by tariffs. On March 8, 2018, the Trump administration signed an order that imposed a tariff of 25% on steel that went into effect on March 23, 2018. As a result of this tariff, if we are unable to obtain raw materials, including steel, at historical prices or unable to pass
any material prices on to dealers, our margins could be adversely affected, and it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Changes in input costs had a significant effect on our operating performance in 2018, as input prices, and steel components in particular, increased significantly, driven by the above-mentioned tariffs and higher levels of market demand driving increased prices. During 2018 and continuing into 2019, we have implemented re-engineering and re-sourcing actions to help avoid these increases and have also implemented surcharge price increases to recover steel increases. In the first quarter of 2019 these activities benefited gross margin by $0.3 million.
In the absence of labor strikes or other unusual circumstances, the materials and components used in our products are normally available from multiple suppliers. However, some of the components may not be easily interchanged with components from alternative suppliers and have been designed into our products. We evaluate current and potential suppliers on a regular basis on their
ability to meet our requirements and standards. We actively manage our material supply sourcing, and may employ various methods to limit risk associated with commodity cost fluctuations and availability. The inability of suppliers to deliver materials and components promptly could result in production delays and increased costs to manufacture our products. To mitigate the impact of these risks we continue to search for acceptable alternative supply sources and less expensive supply options on a regular basis.
Raw Materials and Component Products
The Company’s operating philosophy is to design, source, integrate, quantitatively assess, assemble, ship and integrate product from parts and systems available from third parties and our key suppliers include Kubota, Perkins, Cummins and Deutz. Consequently, we purchase a majority of our components as partially and fully finished assemblies, rather than raw materials for conversion. However, steel is a major component of the chassis, cabs and wheel rims of our product and as such availability and pricing from our suppliers is subject to the global steel market. Extreme movements in the cost and availability of steel and other materials and components may affect our financial performance. The prices we pay for raw materials used in our products may be impacted by tariffs. On March 8, 2018, the Trump administration signed an order that imposed a tariff of 25% on steel (Section 232 Tariff) that went into effect on March 23, 2018, and in September 2018 a further 10% on many other products imported from China (Section 301 Tariff). An additional 15% increase to the Section 301 Tariff proposed to be effective March 1, 2019, has currently been indefinitely delayed. As a result of these tariffs, if we are unable to obtain raw materials, including steel, at historical prices or unable to pass any material prices on to dealers, our margins could be adversely affected, and it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Changes in input costs had a significant effect on our operating performance in 2018, as input prices, and steel components in particular, increased significantly, driven by the above-mentioned tariffs and higher levels of market demand driving increased prices. During the year we have implemented re-engineering and re-sourcing actions to help avoid these increases and have also implemented surcharge price increases to recover steel increases. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company implemented price increases on machines and aftermarket parts targeted to offset the significant cost increases incurred during 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of March 31, 2019, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of March 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Beginning January 1, 2019, the Company implemented ASU 2016-02, Leases . Although the adoption of the new accounting standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Statement of Operations or Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, we did implement changes to our internal controls related to the implementation of the lease accounting standard. These changes included performing a comprehensive lease scoping analysis to identify, disaggregate and evaluate each of our lease categories and implementing a standard procedure to calculate operating lease assets and lease liabilities values for our leases. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are involved in various legal proceedings, including the proceeding before the National Labor Relations Board described in “Risk Factors–Risks Related to Our Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and as further described below.
The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers brought a proceeding against us before the National Labor Relations Board (the “NLR Board”) in May 2014 regarding alleged unfair labor practices at our Grand Rapids, Minnesota facility. The union alleged, among other things, that we unlawfully violated the prohibition against interference, restraint and coercion of employees under Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”) with respect to the employees’ right to engage in concerted activities and collective bargaining under the NLRA and that we unlawfully violated the prohibition in Section 8(a)(3) of the NLRA against retaliatory termination related to union activities.
In June 2015, a federal administrative judge found that we violated Section 8(a)(1) in connection with speeches and statements made by management in connection with a union election and Section 8(a)(3) in connection with terminations that followed the same election. The administrative judge entered an order in favor of the union that required, among other things, that we offer reinstatement to 13 terminated employees and make such employees whole for loss of earnings and benefits (including a gross up for adverse tax consequences for lump-sum back pay). Under this order, we were also required to bargain with the union as a representative of the assembly employees at our Grand Rapids, Minnesota facility and post informational notices at our facility. We appealed the June 2015 decision.
On August 21, 2018, the NLR Board affirmed the administrative law judge’s rulings, findings and conclusions, although it amended the judge’s tax compensation and Social Security reporting remedy and adopted a modified order which, among other things, retains the requirements set forth above with regard to the reinstatement of employment and back pay, as well as the requirement to bargain with the union as a representative of the assembly employees. On September 13, 2018, we filed a request for reconsideration of the NLR Board’s decision regarding the recognition of the assembly union, as the legal standard on which the NLR Board relied was overruled and was not considered in the decision.
