ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted

 

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Headquartered in Braintree, Massachusetts, Altra Industrial Motion Corp. (the “Company,” “Altra,” “We,” or “Our”) is a leading global designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of electro-mechanical power transmission and motion control (“PTMC”) products. The Company brings together strong brands with production facilities in seventeen countries. Altra’s leading brands include Ameridrives Couplings, Bauer Gear Motor, Bibby Turboflex, Boston Gear, Delroyd Worm Gear, Formsprag Clutch, Guardian Couplings, Huco, Industrial Clutch, Inertia Dynamics, Jacobs Vehicle Systems, Kilian Manufacturing, Kollmorgen, Lamiflex Couplings, Marland Clutch, Matrix, Nuttall Gear, Portescap, Stieber Clutch, Stromag, Svendborg Brakes, TB Wood’s, Thomson, Twiflex, Warner Electric, Warner Linear, and Wichita Clutch.

 

 

2. Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2019. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The results are not necessarily indicative of future results.  The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Certain prior year numbers have been adjusted to conform to the current year rounding convention of reporting financial data in millions of dollars, except as otherwise noted.

 

 

3. Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) using the modified retrospective approach for all lease arrangements at the beginning period of adoption. Results for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under ASU 2016-02, which required, among other items, lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU assets”) and lease liability for most leases. As permitted by the new lease standard, the Company elected (i) not to reevaluate land easements if they were not previously accounted for as leases, (ii) not to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs (iii) not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases, and (iv) not to separate non-lease components from associated lease components, for all classes of underlying assets. Upon adoption of the new lease standard, the Company recorded right of use assets of approximately $46.7 million and lease liabilities of approximately $48.2 million in connection with its operating leases. See Note 5 for additional information regarding our commitments under various lease obligations.

 

Lease Accounting Policy

 

Arrangements that are determined to be leases at inception are recognized in long-term ROU assets, current lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future fixed lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company applies its incremental borrowing rate based on the economic environment at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments made and initial direct costs incurred and is reduced by lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases or payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

4. Acquisition

 

On October 1, 2018, the Company and Fortive Corporation (“Fortive”) consummated the previously announced combination (the “Fortive Transaction”) of Altra with four operating companies from Fortive’s Automation & Specialty platform (the “A&S Business”), and as a result, the consolidated financial statements reflect the A&S Business’s results of operations from October 1, 2018 onward.

ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted

 

The A&S Business, consisting of four key brands, Kollmorgen, Portescap, Thomson and Jacobs Vehicle Systems, designs, manufactures, markets and sells electromechanical and electronic motion control products, including standard and custom motors, drives and controls; linear motion systems, ball screws, linear bearings, clutches/brakes, linear actuators and mechanical components; and through Jacobs Vehicle Systems, supplemental braking systems for commercial vehicles.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the allocation of the purchase price of the A&S Business is provisional. The fair value of all the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities is provisional pending finalization of the Company’s acquisition accounting, including the finalization of the valuation of the intangible assets acquired, identification and measurement of the inventory and property, plant and equipment, the measurement of tax basis in certain jurisdictions and the resulting deferred taxes that might arise from book and tax basis differences, as well as identification and measurement of uncertain tax positions, if any. The Company believes that such preliminary allocations provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize fair value. The Company recorded certain measurement period adjustments during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 in the amount of $26.2 million. The preliminary purchase price allocation below includes such adjustments.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill in this acquisition is attributable to the Company’s expectation to achieve synergies, such as facility consolidations, global procurement efficiencies, the ability to cross-sell product, and the ability to penetrate certain geographic areas.

Customer relationships and technology are subject to amortization, and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 20 years and 7-10 years, respectively, which represents the anticipated period over which the Company estimates it will benefit from the acquired assets. The tradenames and trademarks are considered to have an indefinite life and will not be amortized.

 

The major acquired technology IPR&D relates to the next generation of valvetrain technologies, which focus on improving engine brake performance, improving fuel efficiency and meeting future worldwide emissions regulations.  The IPR&D projects are not currently amortized and will be reviewed for impairment at least annually and amortization will commence when the assets are placed into service.  There was no evidence of impairment to IPR&D as of March 31, 2019.  

 

The Company recorded net sales from the A&S Business of $249.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  The Company recorded net income from the A&S Business of $32.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net income includes amortization expense from the A&S Business of $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

The following table sets forth the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as if the Company had acquired the A&S Business on January 1, 2018. The pro forma information contains the actual operating results of the Company and the A&S Business, adjusted to include the pro forma impact of (i) additional depreciation expense as a result of estimated depreciation based on the fair value of fixed assets; (ii) additional expense as a result of the estimated amortization of identifiable intangible assets and (iii) additional interest expense for borrowings associated with the A&S Acquisition. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period or that may be obtained in the future.

5. Lease Accounting

 

On January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) using the modified retrospective approach for all lease arrangements at the beginning period of adoption. Leases existing for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under ASU 2016-02. We lease property and equipment under finance and operating leases. At March 31, 2019, the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating and finance leases totaled approximately $43.8 million and $45.5 million, respectively.  Finance lease ROU assets are included in non-current other assets and finance lease liabilities are included in current and non-current other liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The impact of adopting the new lease standard was not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the periods presented.

 

Quantitative information regarding the Company’s leases is as follows:

We sell our products through three primary commercial channels: original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), industrial distributors and direct to end users. Each of our segments sells similar products, which are balanced across end-user industries including, without limitation, energy, food processing, general industrial, material handling, mining, transportation, industrial automation, robotics, medical devices, and turf & garden.

 

The following table disaggregates our revenue for each reportable segment. The Company believes that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The payment terms and conditions in our customer contracts vary. In some cases, customers will partially prepay for their goods; in other cases, after appropriate credit evaluations, payment will be due in arrears. In addition, there are constraints that cause variability in the ultimate consideration to be recognized. These constraints typically include early payment discounts, volume rebates, rights of return, surcharges, and other customer consolidation.

 

A contract asset is created when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good to the customer. Contract assets may represent conditional or unconditional rights to consideration. The right is conditional, and recorded as a contract asset, if the Company must first satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to payment from the customer. Contract assets are transferred to billed receivables once the right becomes unconditional. If the Company has the unconditional right to receive consideration from the customer, the contract asset is accounted for as a billed receivable and presented separately from other contract assets. A right is unconditional if nothing other than the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. If the Company receives a customer payment prior to satisfying a performance obligation or in excess of estimates of what the Company expects to be entitled to, the payment is recorded as a contract liability. Contracts with payment in arrears are recognized as receivables.

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liability and receivables as of the quarter ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:

7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows:

 

 

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived.

 

Level 3- Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents and are classified as Level 1.

The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps), the Company uses standard models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows and the ability of the Company or the financial counterparty to perform. For interest rate and cross currency swaps, the significant inputs to these models are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and are adjusted for credit risk. For forward foreign currency contracts, the significant inputs are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and exchange rate curves of the foreign currency for translating future cash flows. See additional discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments including cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps included in Note 17.

The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Debt under the Altra Credit Agreement (as defined herein) of $1,305.0 million approximates the fair value due to the variable interest rate. Further, the agreement was negotiated in October 2018 and there have not been any significant changes in our credit rating. The carrying amount of the Notes (as defined herein) was $400 million and the estimated fair value of the Notes was $412.0 million at March 31, 2019.

2018 Credit Agreement and Notes

 

On October 1, 2018 (the “A&S Closing Date”), upon the closing of the Fortive Transaction the Company assumed $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes will mature on October 1, 2026. Interest on the Notes accrues from October 1, 2018, and the first interest payment date on the Notes will be due April 1, 2019. The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the issuer on or after October 1, 2023. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries.  

 

On the A&S Closing Date, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Altra Credit Agreement”). The Altra Credit Agreement provides for a seven-year senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $1,340.0 million (the “Altra Term Loan Facility”) and a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Altra Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Altra Term Loan Facility, the “Altra Credit Facilities”). The proceeds of the Altra Term Loan Facility were used to (i) consummate Fortive’s transfer of certain non-U.S assets, liabilities and entities constituting a portion of the A&s Business to certain subsidiaries of Altra, and the Altra subsidiaries’ assumption of substantially all of the liabilities associated with the transferred assets (the “Direct Sales”), (ii) repay in full and extinguish all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money under the 2015 Credit Agreement and (iii) pay certain fees, costs, and expenses in connection with the consummation of the Fortive Transaction. The proceeds of the Altra Revolving Credit Facility will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Altra Credit Facilities are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions.

 

Borrowings under the Altra Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a “Eurocurrency Rate” plus 2.00%, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate borrowings, or equal to a “Base Rate” plus 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate borrowings. Borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility will initially bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Eurocurrency Rate plus 2.00%, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate borrowings, or equal to a Base Rate plus 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate borrowings, and thereafter will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate, as applicable, plus an interest rate spread determined by reference to a pricing grid based on the Company’s senior secured net leverage ratio. In addition, the Company will be required to pay fees that will fluctuate between 0.250% per annum to 0.375% per annum on the unused amount of the Altra Revolving Credit Facility, based upon the Company’s senior secured net leverage ratio. The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility was 4.49% at March 31, 2019.

 

The Altra Credit Agreement contains usual and customary representations and warranties, and usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on liens, investments, restricted payments, additional indebtedness and asset sales and mergers. In addition, the Altra Credit Agreement requires that Altra maintain a specified maximum senior secured leverage ratio and a specified minimum interest coverage ratio. The obligations of the borrowers of the Altra Credit Facilities under the Altra Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts,

inaccuracy of representation and warranties, violation of covenants, cross default and cross acceleration, voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, inability to pay debts as they become due, material judgements, ERISA events, actual or asserted invalidity of security documents or guarantees and change in control.

 

The Company incurred $29.9 million in issuance costs, which will be amortized over the term of the debt as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the outstanding borrowings.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $1,305.0 million outstanding on the Altra Credit Agreement.  As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $3.8 million and $4.3 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. The Company had $296.2 million available to borrow under the Altra Credit Facilities at March 31, 2019.

 

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Prior to the Altra Credit Facilities, the Company maintained the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, in the amount of $425 million.

On October 1, 2018, in connection with the Fortive Transaction and the entering into Altra Credit Agreement, the 2015 Credit Agreement, was terminated and all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money thereunder was repaid in full.

 

Mortgages and Other Agreements

The Company’s subsidiaries in Europe have entered into certain long-term fixed rate term loans that are generally secured by the local property, plant and equipment. The debt has interest rates that range from 1.79% to 2.5%, with various quarterly and monthly installments through 2028. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, one of our subsidiaries in China opened a new line of credit for approximately $7.5 million with a term life of one year. As of March 31, 2019 the Company had approximately $1.2 million outstanding on the line of credit.   

Financing Leases

The Company leases certain equipment under finance lease arrangements, whose obligations are included in both short-term and long-term debt. Finance lease obligations amounted to approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. ROU assets are included in property, plant and equipment with the related amortization recorded as depreciation expense.

 

 

14. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common Stock

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Altra common stock from 90.0 million shares to 120.0 million shares.  As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 64.3 million shares and 29.1 million of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Preferred Stock

On December 20, 2006, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation authorizing 10.0 million shares of undesignated Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series, the shares of each class or series to have such designations and powers, preferences, and rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. There was no Preferred Stock issued or outstanding at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Restricted Common Stock

The 2014 Plan provides for various forms of stock based compensation to our directors, executive personnel and other key employees and consultants. Under the 2014 Plan, the remaining total number of shares of common stock available for delivery pursuant to the grant of awards (“Awards”) was 1.7 million as of March 31, 2019.

The restricted shares and restricted stock units issued pursuant to the 2014 Plan generally vest ratably over a period ranging from immediately to five years from the date of grant, provided, that the vesting of the restricted shares or restricted stock units may accelerate upon the occurrence of certain events. Common stock awarded under the 2014 Plan is generally subject to restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights, and other limitations and rights as set forth in the applicable award agreements. The fair value of the shares repurchased are measured based on the share price on the date of grant.

The 2014 Plan permits the Company to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance share awards to key employees. Certain awards include vesting based upon achievement of specified market conditions. Compensation expense recorded (in selling, general and administrative expense) during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $3.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for the shares vesting ratably under the plan and uses the graded-vesting method of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for the performance share awards based on the probability of the specific performance metrics being achieved over the requisite service period.

Total remaining unrecognized compensation cost is approximately $30.8 million as of March 31, 2019, and will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of three years. The intrinsic value of these awards, as of March 31, 2019, was $31.9 million. Grant date fair value is based on the quoted price of the stock on the date of grant.

Automation & Specialty Awards

 

In October 2018, the Company issued 536,030 shares of restricted stock to certain Automation and Specialty employees as a result of the acquisition and in accordance with the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement, dated March 7, 2018, among Altra, Fortive and Stevens Holding. The aggregate fair value of these awards totaled $21 million. Based upon the vesting provisions of these awards, $3.1 million of the fair value was attributed to preacquisition services of the A&S employees and was recognized as purchase price consideration. The remaining compensation will be recognized over the remaining service period.

Share Repurchase Program

On October 19, 2016, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the buyback of up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2019. The Company expects to purchase shares on the open market, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with SEC Rule 10b-18 (including through Rule 10b5-1 plans), or in any other appropriate manner. The timing of the shares repurchased will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including price, market conditions and regulatory requirements. Shares acquired through the repurchase program will be retired. The Company retains the right to limit, terminate or extend the share repurchase program at any

time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund any further repurchases of its common stock through a combination of cash on hand and cash generated by operations.

The Company did not repurchase any shares during the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

 

15. Restructuring, Asset Impairment, and Transition Expenses

From time to time, the Company has initiated various restructuring programs and incurred severance and other restructuring costs.

During 2015, the Company commenced a restructuring plan (“2015 Altra Plan”) as a result of weak demand in Europe and to make certain adjustments to improve business effectiveness, reduce the number of facilities and streamline the Company's cost structure. The actions taken pursuant to the 2015 Altra Plan included reducing headcount, facility consolidations, and limiting discretionary spending to improve profitability. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company didn’t record any expense related to the 2015 Altra Plan. The Company does not expect to incur any additional material restructuring expenses related to the 2015 Altra Plan.

During 2017, the Company commenced a new restructuring plan (“2017 Altra Plan”) as a result of the Stromag acquisition and to rationalize its global renewable energy business. The actions taken pursuant to the 2017 Altra Plan included reducing headcount, facility consolidations and the elimination of certain costs. The amounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were comprised of approximately $0.5 million in severance, $0.3 million in consolidation costs, and $0.2 million in other restructuring costs, and are classified in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income as restructuring costs. The Company expects to incur an additional amount of approximately $1.0 to $3.0 million in expense under the 2017 Altra Plan through 2019.

During 2019, the Company commenced a restructuring plan (“2019 Altra Plan”) to drive efficiencies, reduce the number of facilities and optimize its operating margin. The Company expects expenses related to workforce reductions, lease termination costs and other facility rationalization costs. The Company expects to incur $15 - $25 million in restructuring expenses under the 2019 Altra Plan over the next four years, primarily related to plant consolidation and headcount reductions. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 million in severance, $0.1 million in relocation costs and $0.1 million in other restructuring costs, respectively, under the 2019 Altra Plan, which are classified in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income as restructuring costs.

17. Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company enters into derivative arrangements to manage changes in market conditions related to interest on debt obligations, foreign currency exposures and occasionally on commodity prices. Derivative instruments utilized during the period include interest rate and foreign currency swap agreements. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each period. The counterparties to the Company's contractual derivative agreements are all major global financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. For designated hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items.

Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps

In December 2018, the Company entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its net investment in Euro-denominated assets against future volatility in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. By doing so, the Company synthetically converted a portion of its U.S. dollar-based long-term debt into Euro-denominated long-term debt. The agreements have a five-year maturity at notional amounts declining from $600.0 million to $360.0 million over the contract period. Under the terms of the swap agreements, the Company is to receive net interest payments at a fixed rate of 4.8255% and pay Euros at rates ranging from 2.19% to 2.315%. At inception, the cross-currency swaps were designated as net investment hedges.

For a fixed-fixed cross currency swap at final maturity, (i) the total change in fair value of the swap will be the realized accruals of the pay and receive legs of the swap recorded in earnings and (ii) the final cash settlement of the principal at maturity recorded in cumulative translation adjustments (“CTA”).  The accruals of the pay and receive legs of the swap represent the forward points or “carry” on the swap and the final cash settlement of the principal at maturity will be equal to the spot-to-spot change over its life.  On a mark-to-market basis during its life, there will be three components to the change in fair value of the swap. The spot-to-spot change in fair value of the swap, non-discounted, based on the swap’s principal amount, will be recorded in CTA each period. The accrual of the pay and receive legs of the swap each period, representing the amortization in systematic fashion of the impact of changes in fair value of the swap from all other factors, will be recorded in earnings. The difference between the change in fair value of the excluded component of the cross currency swap and the amount recognized in earnings represented by accrual of the pay and receive legs of the swap will be recorded in CTA each period. This amount includes the change in fair value of the future interest payments and the impact of changes in discount factors as it impacts the value of the final principal exchange. As of March 31, 2019, the Company recorded $15.8 million to CTA and recognized approximately $3.8 interest income, net of the pay and receive legs of the swap.

The Company has historically utilized its cross currency interest rate swaps to mitigate foreign currency and interest rate cash flow exposure related to its non-functional currency long-term debt held at the Company’s wholly owned Dutch subsidiary.  The currency adjustments related to this loan were recorded in Other non-operating (income) expense, net. The offsetting gains and losses

on the related derivative contracts were recorded in other non-operating (income) expense, net. In December of 2016 the Company entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap that converted $100.0 million of U.S. dollar denominated floating interest payments to functional currency (euro) fixed interest payments during the life of the hedging instrument. The Company designated the $100.0 million swap as a cash flow hedge, with the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction impacts earnings.  In addition, the Company entered into two cross-currency interest rate swaps that converted an additional $70.0 million of the U.S. dollar denominated floating interest payments (one for $40 million and the other for $30 million) to functional currency (euro) floating interest payments during the life of the hedging instruments. The effective period of one of the cross-currency interest rate swaps, in the amount of $30 million, expired as of December 31, 2017. On October 2, 2018, the Company terminated both the $100 million and the $40 million cross-currency interest rate swap agreements and paid approximately $14.0 million to settle the swap agreements.

Interest Rate Swaps  

In December 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement designed to eliminate the cash flow risk caused by interest rate changes on the forecasted interest payments expected to occur related to a portion of its outstanding borrowings under the Altra Credit Agreement for a notional value of $600 million at 4.8255%. The Company recognized $0.5 million in interest expense as of March 31, 2019.  The effective period of the swap was December 4, 2018, and the maturity date is September 29, 2023.  

 

In January 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement designed to fix the variable interest rate payable on a portion of its outstanding borrowings for a notional value of $50.0 million, at 1.625%. The effective date was January 31, 2017 and the maturity date is January 31, 2020.

 

These interest rate swap agreements are designed to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness. The Company recognizes all derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value. The Company has designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of the swap will be recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings.

18.Commitments and Contingencies

 

General Litigation

The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. These proceedings primarily involve commercial claims, product liability claims, personal injury claims, and workers’ compensation claims. With respect to these proceedings, management believes that the Company will prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate reserves to cover potential liabilities. Any costs that management estimates may be paid related to these proceedings or claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adversely to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition of the Company. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates. We will continue to consider the applicable guidance in ASC 450-20, based on the facts known at the time of our future filings, as it relates to legal contingencies, and will adjust our disclosures as may be required under the guidance.

There were no material amounts accrued in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for potential litigation as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company also risks exposure to product liability claims in connection with products it has sold and those sold by businesses that the Company acquired. Although in some cases third parties have retained responsibility for product liability claims relating to products manufactured or sold prior to the acquisition of the relevant business and in other cases the persons from whom the Company has acquired a business may be required to indemnify the Company for certain product liability claims subject to certain caps or limitations on indemnification, the Company cannot assure that those third parties will in fact satisfy their obligations with respect to liabilities retained by them or their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to or otherwise do not comply with their respective obligations including indemnity obligations, or if certain product liability claims for which the Company is obligated were not retained by third parties or are not subject to these indemnities, the Company could become subject to significant liabilities or other adverse consequences. Moreover, even in cases where third parties retain responsibility for product liability claims or are required to indemnify the Company, significant claims arising from products that have been acquired could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to realize the benefits from an acquisition, could result in the reduction of the value of goodwill that the Company recorded in connection with an acquisition, or could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or operations.

Environmental

There is contamination at some of the Company’s current facilities, primarily related to historical operations at those sites, for which the Company could be liable for the investigation and remediation under certain environmental laws. The potential for contamination also exists at other of the Company’s current or former sites, based on historical uses of those sites. The Company currently is not undertaking any remediation or investigations and the costs or liability in connection with potential contamination conditions at these facilities cannot be predicted at this time because the potential existence of contamination has not been investigated or not enough is known about the environmental conditions or likely remedial requirements. Currently, other parties with contractual liability are addressing or have plans or obligations to address those contamination conditions that may pose a material risk to human health, safety or the environment. In addition, while the Company attempts to evaluate the risk of liability associated with these facilities at the time the Company acquired them, there may be environmental conditions currently unknown to the Company relating to prior, existing or future sites or operations or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities the Company may have assumed or acquired which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company is being indemnified, or expects to be indemnified by third parties subject to certain caps or limitations on the indemnification, for certain environmental costs and liabilities associated with certain owned or operated sites. Accordingly, based on

23


ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted

 

the indemnification and the experience with similar sites of the environmental consultants who the Company has hired, the Company does not expect such costs and liabilities to have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or earnings. The Company cannot assure you, however, that those third parties will in fact satisfy their indemnification obligations. If those third parties become unable to, or otherwise do not, comply with their respective indemnity obligations, or if certain contamination or other liability for which the Company is obligated is not subject to these indemnities, the Company could become subject to significant liabilities.

From time to time, the Company is notified that it is a potentially responsible party and may have liability in connection with off-site disposal facilities. To date, the Company has generally resolved matters involving off-site disposal facilities for a nominal sum but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to resolve pending or future matters in a similar fashion.

Termination of Defined Benefit Plan

 

The Company commenced its plan to terminate the Altra Industrial Motion, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), its frozen U.S. defined benefit pension plan in June 2017 and distributed a portion of the Plan assets during the fourth quarter of 2017 as a partial plan settlement. See Note 8, Pension and Other Employee Benefits, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company completed the Plan termination and made a final contribution of $1.1 million to fully fund the benefit obligation prior to settlement. The Company settled the remaining benefit obligation of approximately $18.7 million by transferring the remaining Plan assets and liability obligations to a third party. The Company recorded an additional settlement loss of $5.1 million related to the Plan in the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

 

19. Subsequent Events

 

On April 24 2019, the Company declared a dividend of $0.17 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, payable on July 2, 2019 to stockholders of record as of June 18, 2019.

ALL SUBSEQUENT WRITTEN AND ORAL FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO US OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON THE COMPANY’S BEHALF ARE EXPRESSLY QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY THE CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS CONTAINED OR REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION AND IN OUR RISK FACTORS SET FORTH (1) IN THE SECTION TITLED “RISK FACTORS,” SET FORTH IN PART II, ITEM 1A OF THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q; (2) IN PART I, ITEM 1A OF THE COMPANY’S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018,  FILED WITH THE SEC ON MARCH 1, 2019; AND (3) IN THE COMPANY’S OTHER SEC FILINGS.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Altra Industrial Motion Corp. and its subsidiaries should be read together with (1) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Altra Industrial Motion Corp. and its subsidiaries and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (2) the audited consolidated financial statements of Altra Industrial Motion Corp. and its subsidiaries and the related notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Altra,” “Altra Industrial Motion Corp.,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Altra Industrial Motion Corp. and its subsidiaries.

General

 

We are a leading global designer, producer and marketer of a wide range of electromechanical power transmission motion control (“PTMC”) products. Our technologies are used in various motion related applications and across a wide variety of high-volume manufacturing and non-manufacturing processes in which reliability and precision are critical to avoid costly down time and enhance the overall efficiency of operations.

We market our products under well recognized and established brands, which have been in existence for an average of over 85 years.  We serve a diversified group of customers comprised of over 1,000 direct original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) including GE, Honeywell and Siemens, and also benefit from established, long-term relationships with leading industrial distributors, including Applied Industrial Technologies, Grainger, Kaman Corporation and Motion Industries. Many of our customers operate globally across a large number of industries, ranging from transportation, turf and agriculture, energy and mining to factory automation, medical and robotics. Our relationships with these customers often span multiple decades, which we believe reflects the high level of performance, quality and service we deliver, supplemented by the breadth of our offering, vast geographic footprint and our ability to rapidly develop custom solutions for complex customer requirements.

On October 1, 2018, Altra consummated the Fortive Transaction and acquired the A&S Business for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,855.7 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which consisted of $1,400.0 million of cash and debt instruments transferred to Fortive and shares of Altra common stock received by Fortive shareholders valued at approximately $1,455.7 million. As of March 31, 2019, the initial accounting for the Fortive Transaction (including the allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities) is provisional.

Our website is www.altramotion.com. By following the link “Investor Relations” and then “SEC Filings” on our website, you can access our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which we make available free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after such forms are filed with or furnished to the SEC. We are not including the information contained on or available through our website as a part of, or incorporating such information by reference into, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Business Outlook

 

Our future financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on the U.S., European, and global economies in general.  Since completing the Fortive Transaction on October 1, 2018, our focus has been on the integration of the A&S Business and we have substantially completed the tactical components of that integration.  In the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the addition of the A&S Business continues to have a favorable impact on our financial performance.  Looking forward, our strategic priorities are to continue to execute on the integration of the A&S Business and achieve our synergy target, to continue to capitalize on our strong cash generation to de-lever our balance sheet and to implement best practices from the Altra Business System to optimize sales growth and accelerate profitability, primarily through supply chain management, leveraging technology to drive innovation, and executing on organic growth and cross-selling opportunities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on past experiences and other assumptions we believe to be appropriate, and we evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. See the discussion of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no changes in the identification or application of the Company’s critical accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, except for the adoption of ASC 842.

The increase in net sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 is primarily due to increased sales resulting from the addition of the A&S Business in the amount of $249.1 million.  Excluding the impact of net sales from the A&S Business, net sales decreased $6.7 million compared to the prior year period. Changes in foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $8.6 million, primarily driven by the Euro.  This was offset by price which had a favorable increase of $4.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Restructuring costs.    During 2015 we adopted the 2015 Altra Plan in response to weak demand in Europe and to make certain adjustments to improve business effectiveness, reduce the number of facilities and streamline our cost structure.  The actions taken pursuant to the 2015 Altra Plan included reducing headcount, facility consolidations and related asset impairments and limiting discretionary spending to improve profitability. We do not expect to incur any additional material costs as a result of the 2015 Altra Plan. We estimate future annual savings for 2019 to be approximately $0.1 million.  The estimated future savings through 2019 are expected to improve SG&A by $0.1 million.  The total 2015 Plan savings are in line with our expectations.  

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we commenced a new restructuring plan (“2017 Altra Plan”) as a result of the Stromag acquisition and to rationalize our global renewable energy business.  The actions taken pursuant to the 2017 Altra Plan include reducing headcount, facility consolidations and the elimination of certain costs.  We expect to incur approximately $1.0 to $3.0 million in additional expense through 2019 related to the 2017 Altra Plan.  We have achieved savings of $0.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 under the 2017 Altra Plan and estimate additional future savings during 2019 to be approximately $2.2 million.  The cost savings for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were recognized as improvements in SG&A and Cost of Sales of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.  The estimated future savings through 2019 are expected to improve SG&A and Cost of Sales by $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  The total 2017 Altra Plan savings are in line with our expectations.  

 

During 2019, we commenced a restructuring plan (“2019 Plan”) to drive efficiencies, reduce the number of facilities and optimize our operating margin. We expect expenses related to workforce reductions, lease termination costs and other facility rationalization costs. We expect to incur $15 - $25 million in restructuring expenses under the 2019 Plan over the next four years, primarily related to plant consolidation and headcount reductions.

The provision for income tax, as a percentage of income before income taxes, decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in the 2019 provision for income tax as a percent of income before income taxes is due to an increased R&D tax credit in the U.S. as a result of the A&S Business acquisition. Additionally, the 2018 provision for income tax as a percent of income before income taxes was impacted by certain non-deductible acquisition expenses related to the Fortive Transaction.

Certain expenses are maintained at the corporate level and not allocated to the segments.

Power Transmission Technologies

Net sales in the Power Transmission Technologies segment were $234.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of approximately $5.5 million or 2.3%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2018.  The decrease is due to unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates at $8.6 million offset by the recovery of certain end markets.  Segment operating income increased $0.6 million compared to the prior year quarter.

Automation & Specialty

 

    Net sales in the Automation and Specialty segment were $249.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of approximately $1.5 million, or 0.6%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The decrease is due to the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates offset by continued recovery in certain of our more profitable end markets. Segment operating income decreased by approximately $17.0 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily as a result of increased amortization expense. Note that the Automation and Specialty segment financial information for the prior year quarter has been derived from the interim unaudited combined condensed financial statements of the A&S Business, which are included in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on June 21, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

We finance our capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein). At March 31, 2019, we have the ability under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) to borrow an additional $296.2 million subject to satisfying customary conditions.  We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures, acquisitions, pensions, dividends and share repurchases.  

 

On October 1, 2018, we consummated the Fortive Transaction.  The aggregate purchase price for the A&S Business was approximately $2,855.7 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, and consisted of (i) $1,400.0 million of cash transferred to Fortive and (ii) shares of Altra common stock received by Fortive shareholders valued at approximately $1,455.7 million.  The value of the common stock was based on the closing stock price on the A&S Closing Date of $41.59.  We financed the cash portion of the Fortive Transaction with the Altra Credit Facilities (as defined herein).

 

We believe, based on current and projected levels of cash flows from operating activities, together with our ability to borrow under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein), we have sufficient liquidity to meet our short-term and long-term needs to make required payments of interest on our debt, make amortization payments under the Altra Credit Facilities (as defined herein), fund our operating needs, fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements and comply with the financial ratios in our debt agreements. In the event additional funds are needed for operations, we could attempt to obtain new debt and/or refinance existing debt, or attempt to raise capital in the equity markets.  There can be no assurance however that additional debt or equity financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Notes

 

On September 26, 2018, Stevens Holding Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Stevens Holding”), announced the pricing of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of Stevens Holding’s 6.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) in a private debt offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Private Placement”). On October 1, 2018, the Private Placement closed, and Stevens Holding sold $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Primary Notes”) and an unaffiliated selling securityholder sold $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Selling Securityholder Notes”). The Notes will mature on October 1, 2026. Interest on the Notes accrues from October 1, 2018, and the first interest payment date on the Notes will be April 1, 2019. The Notes may be redeemed at the option of Stevens Holding on or after October 1, 2023, in the manner and at the redemption prices specified in the indenture governing the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Altra and certain of its domestic subsidiaries.  

 

The unaffiliated selling securityholder received the Selling Securityholder Notes from Fortive prior to the closing of the Private Placement in exchange for certain outstanding Fortive debt held or acquired by the unaffiliated selling securityholder.  Stevens Holding used the net proceeds of the Primary Notes to fund a dividend payment to Fortive prior to the consummation of the Merger, and Stevens Holding did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Selling Securityholder Notes.

Altra Credit Agreement

 

On the A&S Closing Date, Altra entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Altra Credit Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of Altra, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and a syndicate of lenders.  The Altra Credit Agreement provides for a seven-year senior secured term loan to Altra in an aggregate principal amount of $1,340.0 million (the “Altra Term Loan Facility”) and a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility provided to Altra and certain of its subsidiaries in an aggregate committed principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Altra Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Altra Term Loan Facility, the “Altra Credit Facilities”). The proceeds of the Altra Term Loan Facility were used to (i) consummate the Direct Sales, (ii) repay in full and extinguish all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money under the 2015 Credit Agreement and (iii) pay certain fees, costs, and expenses in connection with the consummation of the Fortive Transaction. Any proceeds of the Altra Term Loan Facility not so used may be used for general corporate purposes.  The proceeds of the Altra Revolving Credit Facility will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Altra Credit Facilities are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Altra and by each direct or indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiary of Altra, subject to certain customary exceptions.

 

31


 

Borrowings under the Altra Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a “Eurocurrency Rate” plus 2.00%, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate borrowings, or equal to a “Base Rate” plus 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate borrowings.  Borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility will initially bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Eurocurrency Rate plus 2.00%, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate borrowings, or equal to a Base Rate plus 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate borrowings, and thereafter will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate, as applicable, plus an interest rate spread determined by reference to a pricing grid based on Altra’s senior secured net leverage ratio.  In addition, Altra will be required to pay fees that will fluctuate between 0.250% per annum to 0.375% per annum on the unused amount of the Altra Revolving Credit Facility, based upon Altra’s senior secured net leverage ratio. The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility was 4.49% at March 31, 2019.  

 

Revolving borrowings and issuances of letters of credit under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of defaults.

 

The Altra Credit Agreement contains usual and customary representations and warranties, and usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on liens, investments, restricted payments, additional indebtedness and asset sales and mergers.  In addition, the Altra Credit Agreement requires that Altra maintain a specified maximum senior secured leverage ratio and a specified minimum interest coverage ratio.  The obligations of the borrowers of the Altra Credit Facilities under the Altra Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts, inaccuracy of representation and warranties, violation of covenants, cross default and cross acceleration, voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, inability to pay debts as they become due, material judgements, ERISA events, actual or asserted invalidity of security documents or guarantees and change in control.  

2015 Credit Agreement

 

On October 22, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Altra Industrial Motion Netherlands, B.V., one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the lenders party to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”), J.P, Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), to be guaranteed and secured by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company, and which may be amended from time to time (the “2015 Credit Agreement”).

 

Under the 2015 Credit Agreement, the amount of the Company’s revolving credit facility was $350.0 million (the “2015 Revolving Credit Facility”).  Prior to October 2018, the amounts available under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility were used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and to repay existing indebtedness.

 

Prior to October 2018, the amounts available under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility could be drawn upon in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement. All amounts outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility were due on the stated maturity or such earlier time, if any, required under the 2015 Credit Agreement. The amounts owed under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility could be prepaid at any time, subject to usual notification and breakage payment provisions. Interest on the amounts outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility was calculated using either an ABR Rate or Eurodollar Rate, plus the applicable margin. A portion of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility could also be used for the issuance of letters of credit, and a portion of the amount of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility was available for borrowings in certain agreed upon foreign currencies.

 

The 2015 Credit Agreement contained various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions, which among other things, required the Borrowers to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders, required the Company to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated leverage and interest coverage, limited maximum annual capital expenditures, and limited the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, purchase or redeem capital stock or debt, make certain investments, sell assets, engage in certain transactions, and effect a consolidation or merger. The 2015 Credit Agreement also contained customary events of default.  

 

On October 21, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the 2015 Credit Agreement (the “October 2016 Amendment”).  The October 2016 Amendment, which became effective upon the December 30, 2016 closing of Altra’s purchase of Stromag (the “Stromag Acquisition”), increased the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility by $75.0 million to $425.0 million.  The Company borrowed additional funds under the increased 2015 Revolving Credit Facility to finance the Stromag Acquisition.  The October 2016 Amendment also reset the possible expansion of up to $150.0 million of additional future loan commitments.  In addition, the October 2016 Amendment increased the multicurrency sublimit to $250.0 million and adjusted certain financial covenants.

 

32


 

On October 1, 2018, in connection with the Fortive Transaction and the entering into the Altra Credit Agreement, the 2015 Credit Agreement was terminated and all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money thereunder was repaid in full.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, one of our subsidiaries in China opened a new line of credit for approximately $1.2 million with a term of 1 year.

Cash Flows for 2019

Net cash provided from operating activities was approximately $39.3 million for the period ended March 31, 2019. This was generated by net income of $35.2 million and the net impact of the add-back of certain items including non-cash depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing costs, loss on settlement of pension plan, loss on disposal of fixed assets, and non-cash loss on foreign currency which totaled approximately $38.0 million. This was mostly offset by a net decrease in assets and liabilities of approximately $(33.9) million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the period ended March 31, 2019 increased approximately $20.2 million compared to the period ended March 31, 2018, primarily as a result of the impact of the Fortive Transaction.

Net cash used in financing activities in the period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the period ended March 31, 2018 increased by $23.5 million, primarily as a result of the impact of the Fortive Transaction.

We intend to use our remaining cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations to provide for our working capital needs, to fund potential future acquisitions, to service our debt, including principal payments, for capital expenditures, for pension funding, for share repurchases, and to pay dividends to our stockholders. As of March 31, 2019 we have approximately $76.9 million of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries. We believe, based on current and projected levels of cash flows from operating activities, together with our ability to borrow under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility, we have sufficient liquidity to meet our short-term and long-term needs to make required payments of interest on our debt, make amortization payments under the Altra Credit Facilities, fund our operating needs, fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements and comply with the financial ratios in our debt agreements.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes in our contractual obligations during the period ended March 31, 2019.

On October 19, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the buyback of up to $30.0 million of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2019 (the “2016 Repurchase Program”). The 2016 Repurchase Program was announced on October 21, 2016, and replaced the previous share repurchase program which was terminated. The Company is authorized to purchase shares on the open market, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with SEC Rule 10b-18 (including through Rule 10b5-1 plans), or in any other appropriate manner. The timing of the shares repurchased will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including price, market conditions and regulatory requirements. Shares acquired through the 2016 Repurchase Program will be retired. The Company retains the right to limit, terminate, or extend the 2016 Repurchase Program at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund any further repurchases of its common stock through a combination of cash on hand and cash generated by operations.
