NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations:
Actuant Corporation (“Actuant” or the “Company”) is a global manufacturer of a broad range of industrial products and systems, organized into
three
reportable segments. The Industrial segment is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools to the maintenance, industrial, infrastructure and production automation markets. The Energy segment provides joint integrity products and services, customized offshore mooring solutions, as well as rope and cable solutions to the global oil & gas, energy and other markets. The Engineered Solutions segment provides highly engineered position and motion control systems to OEMs in various vehicle markets, as well as a variety of other products to the industrial and agriculture markets.
Consolidation and Presentation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. The results of companies acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition or until the date of divestiture. All intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories:
Inventories are comprised of material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for a portion of the U.S. owned inventory (
21.0%
and
22.1%
of total inventories in both
2016
and
2015
, respectively). The first-in, first-out or average cost methods are used for all other inventories. If the LIFO method were not used, inventory balances would be higher than the amounts in the consolidated balance sheets by
$3.7 million
and
$5.6 million
at August 31,
2016
and
2015
, respectively.
The nature of the Company’s products is such that they generally have a very short production cycle. Consequently, the amount of work-in-process at any point in time is minimal. In addition, many parts or components are ultimately either sold individually or assembled with other parts making a distinction between raw materials and finished goods impractical to determine. Other locations maintain and manage their inventories using a job cost system where the distinction of categories of inventory by state of completion is also not available. As a result of these factors, it is neither practical nor cost effective to segregate the amounts of raw materials, work-in-process or finished goods inventories at the respective balance sheet dates, as segregation would only be possible as the result of physical inventories which are taken at dates different from the balance sheet dates.
Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from
ten
to
forty
years for buildings and improvements and
two
to
fifteen
years for machinery and equipment. Equipment includes assets (marine mooring equipment and joint integrity tools) which are rented to customers of our Energy segment businesses. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the related asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
Other intangible assets with definite lives, consisting primarily of purchased customer relationships, patents, trademarks and non-compete agreements, are amortized over periods from one to twenty-five years. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization, but are subject to annual impairment testing.
The Company’s goodwill is tested for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The Company performs impairment reviews for its reporting units using a fair value method based on management’s judgments and assumptions. In estimating the fair value, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow model, which is dependent on a number of assumptions including estimated future revenues and expenses, weighted average cost of capital, capital expenditures and other variables. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared to the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill is potentially impaired and the Company then determines the implied fair value of goodwill, which is compared to the carrying value to determine if impairment exists. Indefinite lived intangible assets are also subject to an annual impairment test. On an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets are evaluated by the Company to determine if an impairment charge is required. A considerable amount of management judgment is required in performing the impairment tests, principally in determining the fair value of each reporting unit and the indefinite lived intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured. For product sales, delivery does not occur until the passage of title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer (generally when products are shipped). Revenue from services and rental contracts are recognized when the services are provided or ratably over the contract term. Unearned revenue related to long-term customer contracts was
$7.7 million
and
$8.3 million
at August 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Customer sales are recorded net of allowances for returns and discounts, which are recognized as a deduction from sales at the time of sale. The Company commits to one-time or on-going trade discounts and promotions with customers that require the Company to estimate and accrue the ultimate costs of such programs. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security for receivables and provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and a review of its existing receivables. Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$7.8 million
and
$4.0 million
at August 31,
2016
and
2015
, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs:
The Company records costs associated with shipping its products in cost of products sold.
Restructuring:
The Company has committed to various restructuring initiatives including workforce reductions, plant consolidations to reduce manufacturing overhead, satellite office closures, the continued movement of production and product sourcing to low cost alternatives and the centralization and standardization of certain administrative functions. Total restructuring charges for these activities were
$14.6 million
in fiscal 2016 and impacted all segments. Liabilities for severance will be paid during the next twelve months, while future lease payments related to facilities vacated as a result of restructuring will be paid over the underlying remaining lease terms.

ACTUANT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Income Taxes:
The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and non-U.S. taxes on income. Tax credits, primarily for non-U.S. earnings, are recognized as a reduction of the provision for income taxes in the year in which they are available for U.S. tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided on temporary differences between assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes as measured by enacted tax rates expected to apply when temporary differences are settled or realized. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of those benefits is considered to be more likely than not. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets for which realization is not more likely than not of being realized. The Company has not provided for any residual U.S. income taxes on unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries as such earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Foreign Currency Translation:
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and an appropriate weighted average exchange rate for each applicable period for revenues and expenses. Translation adjustments are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of shareholders' equity caption “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.”
Use of Estimates:
The Company has recorded reserves for customer rebates, returns and discounts, doubtful accounts, inventory, incurred but not reported medical claims, environmental matters, warranty claims, workers compensation claims, product and non-product litigation and incentive compensation. These reserves require the use of estimates and judgment. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company believes that such estimates are made with consistent and appropriate assumptions. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,
Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes
, which amends the existing guidance to require presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current within a classified statement of financial position. This guidance was adopted, on a prospective basis, at September 1, 2015. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03,
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,
which includes amendments that require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Under the new rule, the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs is not affected. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard in fiscal 2017 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16,
Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,
which eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for changes to provisional amounts initially recorded in a business acquisition opening balance sheet. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 (fiscal 2017 for the Company), including interim periods within fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,
"Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,"
which will simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions. The guidance will require, among other items, that all excess tax deficiencies or benefits be recorded as income tax expense or benefit in the statement of earnings, and not in additional paid-in capital (shareholder's equity). This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (fiscal 2018 for the Company), and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Under ASU 2014-09 and subsequent updates included in ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12, an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2017 (fiscal 2019 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases
which requires recognizing all lease transactions (with terms in excess of 12 months) on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset. This new rule is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (fiscal 2020 of the Company), including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon
ACTUANT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
adoption, the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑15,
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
, to address how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (fiscal 2019 of the Company), including interim periods within those fiscal years. This update will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.
Note 2. Acquisitions
The Company completed three business acquisitions during the last three years. These acquisitions resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the purchase prices reflected the future earnings and cash flow potential of these companies, as well as the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations. The Company incurred acquisition transaction costs of
$2.7 million
,
$0.1 million
and
$0.5 million
in fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively (included in selling, administrative and engineering expenses in the consolidated statement of operations).
The Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price, at the date of acquisition, based upon the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains this information during due diligence and through other sources. If additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), the Company will refine its estimates of fair value and adjust the purchase price allocation.
Fiscal 2016 Acquisitions:
The Company acquired the stock of Larzep, S.A. ("Larzep") on
February 17, 2016
for a purchase price of
$15.9 million
, net of cash acquired. This Industrial segment tuck-in acquisition is headquartered in Mallabia, Spain and is a supplier of hydraulic tools and solutions. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in
$9.7 million
of goodwill (which is not deductible for tax purposes) and
$4.8 million
of intangible assets, including
$3.6 million
of customer relationships and
$1.2 million
of tradenames.
The Company also acquired the assets of the Middle East, Caspian and the North African business of FourQuest Energy Inc. ("Pipeline and Process Services") for
$65.5 million
on
March 30, 2016
. This Hydratight tuck-in acquisition was funded with existing cash and expands the geographic presence and service offerings of the Energy segment, including pipeline pre-commissioning, engineering, chemical cleaning and leak testing. The preliminary purchase price resulted in
$36.2 million
of goodwill (which is not deductible for tax purposes) and
$8.7 million
of intangible assets, including
$8.0 million
of customer relationships and
$0.7 million
of non-compete agreements.
Total sales in fiscal 2016 for these two acquired business were
$19.1 million
. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at the date of acquisition, for these businesses (in thousands):

. This Industrial segment acquisition is headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas and maintains a leading position in the concrete tensioning market. Its products include patented encapsulated anchor systems, wedges and customized extruded cables. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of
$14.3 million
of goodwill (which is deductible for tax purposes) and
$10.6 million
of intangible assets, including
$5.0 million
of patents,
$3.3 million
of customer relationships,
$2.0 million

Note 3. Discontinued Operations and Divestitures
Fiscal 2016 Product Line Divestiture
On
August 25, 2016
, the Company completed the divestiture of its Sanlo business (Engineered Solutions segment) for
$9.7 million
in cash, net of transaction costs. This divestiture resulted in a
$5.1 million
pre-tax loss, but a
$1.6 million
gain net of tax. The results of the Sanlo business (sales of approximately
$11 million
in fiscal 2016) are not material to the consolidated financial results and are included in continuing operations.
Fiscal 2014 Product Line Divestiture and Discontinued Operations
On
June 13, 2014
, the Company completed the divestiture of its Recreational Vehicle ("RV") business (Engineered Solutions segment) for
$36.5 million
in cash. This product line divestiture resulted in a
$13.5 million
pre-tax gain,
$2.8 million
net of tax. The results of the RV business (sales of approximately
$22 million
in fiscal 2014) are not material to the consolidated financial results and are included in continuing operations.
The former Electrical segment designed, manufactured and distributed a broad range of electrical products to the retail DIY, wholesale, OEM, solar, utility and marine markets. On
December 13, 2013
, the Company completed the sale of the Electrical segment for net cash proceeds of
$252.4 million
, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of
$34.5 million
,
$26.3 million
net of tax. Net sales of the former Electrical segment in fiscal 2014, prior to the divestiture, were
$72.1 million
.
Note 4. Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
Fiscal 2016 Interim Impairment Charge
The prolonged unfavorable conditions in the global oil & gas markets, including additional cuts in projected capital spending by energy customers, reduced exploration, drilling and commissioning activities and excess capacity in the industry (given continued low oil & gas prices) were expected to have an adverse impact on the future financial results of the Cortland and Viking businesses. Accordingly, during the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recognized a
$140.9 million
impairment charge (as a result of lower projected future sales and profits) related to the Cortland and Viking businesses.
The maximatecc business (Engineered Solutions segment), manufactures severe-duty electronic instrumentation including displays and clusters, machine controls and sensors. Weakness in off-highway vehicle and agricultural markets, coupled with
ACTUANT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
challenging overall industrial fundamentals, recent reductions in OEM customer build rates and production schedules (in order to reduce inventory levels) and delays in the start of production by certain European OEMs for new or updated design models resulted in reduced sales and profitability of the maximatecc business. As a result of lower projected sales and profits, during the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recognized a
$45.7 million
impairment charge related to the goodwill and intangible assets of the maximatecc business.
A summary of the second quarter fiscal 2016 impairment charge by reporting unit is as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal 2015 Impairment Charge
The dramatic decline in oil prices in 2015 caused a slowdown in upstream oil & gas activity as asset owners hesitated on starting new oil & gas exploration drilling and development projects, while certain existing projects were deferred or canceled and capital spending was reduced. As a result of these unfavorable market conditions, in fiscal 2015 the Company recognized an
$84.4 million
impairment charge related to the write-down of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets of the Cortland and Viking businesses. The impairment charge consisted of a
$78.5 million
impairment of goodwill and a
$6.4 million
impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets (tradenames).
Changes in the gross carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, business acquisitions, divestitures and impairment charges. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended
August 31, 2016
and
2015
are as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s Senior Credit Facility matures on
May 8, 2020
, provides a
$600 million
revolver, a
$300 million
term loan and a
$450 million
expansion option, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings are subject to a pricing grid, which can result in increases or decreases to the borrowing spread, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, ranging from a spread of
1.00%
to
2.25%
in the case of loans bearing interest at LIBOR and from
0.00%
to
1.25%
in the case of loans bearing interest at the base rate. As of
August 31, 2016
, the borrowing spread on LIBOR based borrowings was
2.00%
(aggregating to a
2.50%
variable rate borrowing cost). In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused credit line under the revolver ranging from
0.15%
to
0.35%
per annum. As of
August 31, 2016
, the unused credit line under the revolver was
$592.1 million
, of which
$180.0 million
was available for borrowings. Quarterly term loan principal payments of
$3.8 million
began on
June 30, 2016
, increase to
$7.5 million
per quarter on
June 30, 2017
, with the remaining principal due at maturity. The Senior Credit Facility, which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic personal property assets, also contains customary limits and restrictions concerning investments, sales of assets, liens on assets, dividends and other payments. The
two
financial covenants included in the Senior Credit Facility agreement are a maximum leverage ratio of
3.75
:1 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of
3.50
:1. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at
August 31, 2016
.
On
April 16, 2012
, the Company issued
$300 million
of
5.625%
Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes require no principal installments prior to their
June 15, 2022
maturity, require semiannual interest payments in December and June of each year and contain certain financial and non-financial covenants. The Senior Notes include a call feature that allows the Company to repurchase them anytime on or after
June 15, 2017
at stated redemption prices (ranging from
100.0%
to
102.8%
), plus accrued and unpaid interest. As required under the indenture governing the Senior Notes, on
June 19, 2015
, the Company initiated an offer to repurchase, at par value, up to
$165 million
of Senior Notes representing the non-reinvested
ACTUANT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
proceeds from the fiscal 2014 business divestitures. Prior to its expiration, the Company repurchased
$11.9 million
of Senior Notes pursuant to this tender offer in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
The Company made cash interest payments of
$27.2 million
,
$24.8 million
and
$21.0 million
in fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively.
Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, foreign currency derivatives, accounts receivable, accounts payable and its variable rate long-term debt approximated book value at August 31,
2016
and
2015
due to their short-term nature and the fact that the interest rates approximated year-end market rates. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding
5.625%
Senior Notes was
$299.6 million
and
$287.3 million
at August 31,
2016
and
2015
, respectively. The fair value of the Senior Notes was based on quoted inactive market prices and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Note 7. Derivatives
All derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, it designates the derivative as a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge) or a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Changes in the value of fair value hedges and non-designated hedges are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability, while changes in the value of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency derivatives was a liability of
$0.7 million
and
$0.2 million
at
August 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively.
The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of its operations. In order to manage this risk the Company has hedged portions of its forecasted inventory purchases and other cash flows that are denominated in non-functional currencies (cash flow hedges). As of
August 31, 2016
there were no cash flow hedges outstanding, while the U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of these foreign currency forward contracts was
$0.5 million
at August 31,
2015
.
The Company also utilizes forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the exchange rate risk associated with recognized non-functional currency balances. The effects of changes in exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts and the related non-functional currency asset or liability. The U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of these short duration foreign currency forward contracts was
$143.4 million
and
$170.7 million
, at
August 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. Net foreign currency losses related to these derivative instruments were
$1.5 million
,
$0.1 million
and
$13.5 million
in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These derivative gains and losses offset foreign currency gains and losses from the related revaluation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities (amounts included in other expense in the consolidated statement of operations).
Note 8. Leases
The Company leases certain facilities, computers, equipment and vehicles under various lease agreements generally over periods of
one
to
twenty
years. Under most arrangements, the Company pays the property taxes, insurance, maintenance and expenses related to the leased property. Many of the leases include provisions that enable the Company to renew the lease based upon fair value rental rates on the date of expiration of the initial lease.
As of
August 31, 2016
, future obligations under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows:
$32.9 million
in fiscal
2017
;
$27.1 million
in fiscal
2018
;
$23.6 million
in fiscal
2019
;
$19.9 million
in fiscal
2020
;
$14.4 million
in fiscal
2021
; and
$45.1 million
in aggregate thereafter. Total rental expense under operating leases was
$37.6 million
,
$35.7 million
and
$31.6 million
in fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively. In fiscal 2016, the Company completed the sale leaseback of certain facilities and Energy segment rental assets for total proceeds of
$7.0 million
. In fiscal 2014, the Company also completed the sale leaseback of certain rental assets of the Viking business for proceeds of
$41.0 million
.
ACTUANT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
As discussed in Note 14, “Contingencies and Litigation” the Company remains contingently liable for lease payments under leases of businesses that it previously divested or spun off.
Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans
U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plans
All of the U.S. defined benefit pension plans are frozen, and as a result, plan participants no longer earn additional benefits.

The Company employs a total return on investment approach for its pension plan assets whereby a mix of equity and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return for plan assets, at a prudent level of risk. The investment portfolio contains a blend of equity and fixed income investments. Within the equity allocation, a blend of growth and value investments is maintained in a variety of market capitalizations and diversified between U.S. and non-U.S. stocks. The Company’s targeted asset allocation as a percentage of total plan assets is
60%
-
80%
in equity securities, with the remainder invested in fixed income securities and cash. Cash balances are maintained at levels adequate to meet near-term plan expenses

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
and benefit payments. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis. At
August 31, 2016
, the Company’s overall expected long-term rate of return for assets in U.S. pension plans was
7.15%
. The expected long-term rate of return is based on the portfolio as a whole and not on the sum of the returns on individual asset categories. The target return is based on historical returns adjusted to reflect the current view of the long-term investment market.
The fair value of all U.S. pension plan assets is determined based on quoted market prices and therefore all plan assets are determined based on Level 1 inputs, except for fixed income securities which are valued based on Level 2 inputs, as defined in Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements.” The U.S. pension plan investment allocations by asset category were as follows (in thousands):

Other Postretirement Health Benefit Plans
The Company provides other postretirement health benefits (“OPEB”) to certain existing and former employees of domestic businesses it acquired, who were entitled to such benefits prior to acquisition. These unfunded plans had a benefit obligation of
$4.0 million
and
$3.5 million
at August 31,
2016
and
2015
, respectively. These obligations are determined utilizing assumptions consistent with those used for U.S. pension plans and a health care cost trend rate of
7.5%
, trending downward to
5.0%
by the year 2022, and remaining level thereafter. Net periodic benefit (income) costs for the other postretirement benefits was less than
$0.1 million
for each of the fiscal years ended August 31,
2016
,
2015
and
2014
. Benefit
ACTUANT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
payments from the plan are funded through participant contributions and Company contributions and are projected to be
$0.3 million
in fiscal
2017
.
Defined Contribution Benefit Plans
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for substantially all full time U.S. employees (the “401(k) Plan”). Under plan provisions, the Company can fund either cash or issue new shares of Class A common stock for its contributions. Amounts are allocated to accounts set aside for each employee’s retirement. Employees generally may contribute up to
50%
of their compensation to individual accounts within the 401(k) Plan. While contributions vary, the Company generally makes core contributions to employee accounts equal to
3%
of each employee’s eligible annual cash compensation, subject to IRS limitations. In addition, the Company matches approximately
25%
of each employee’s contribution up to
6%
of the employee’s eligible compensation. The Company also maintains a Restoration Plan that allows eligible highly compensated employees (as defined by the Internal Revenue Code) to receive a core contribution as if no IRS limits were in place. Company contributions to the Restoration Plan are made in the form of Actuant common stock and are contributed into each eligible participant’s deferred compensation plan account. Expense recognized related to the 401(k) plan totaled
$4.4 million
,
$4.3 million
and
$4.5 million
for the years ended August 31,
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively.
In addition to the 401(k) plan, the Company sponsors a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“the SERP Plan”). The unfunded SERP Plan is an unfunded defined contribution plan that covers certain executive employees and has an annual contribution formula based on age and years of service (with Company contributions ranging from
3%
to
6%
of eligible wages). This unfunded plan had a
$1.6 million
obligation at both
August 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. Expense recognized in fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
for the SERP Plan was
$0.3 million
,
$0.3 million
, and
$0.4 million
respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan to allow eligible U.S. employees to defer receipt of current cash compensation in order to provide future savings benefits. Eligibility is limited to employees that earn compensation that exceeds certain pre-defined levels. Participants have the option to invest their deferrals in a fixed income investment, in Company common stock, or a combination of the two. The fixed income portion of the plan is unfunded, and therefore all compensation deferred under the plan is held by the Company and commingled with its general assets. Liabilities of
$22.2 million
and
$22.7 million
are included in the consolidated balance sheets at August 31,
2016
and
2015
, respectively, to reflect the unfunded portion of the deferred compensation liability. The Company recorded expense in "Financing costs, net" of
$1.6 million
,
$1.8 million
and
$1.7 million
for the years ended August 31,
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively, for non-funded interest on participant deferrals in the fixed income investment option. Company common stock contributions to fund the plan are held in a rabbi trust, accounted for in a manner similar to treasury stock and are recorded at cost in “Stock held in trust” within shareholders’ equity with the corresponding deferred compensation liability also recorded within shareholders’ equity. Since no investment diversification is permitted within the trust, changes in fair value of Actuant common stock are not recognized.

During fiscal 2015, the Company generated
$10.0 million
of foreign tax credits, the result of a non-recurring non-permanent loan from a foreign subsidiary (which were utilized to reduce fiscal 2015 tax obligations) and had a higher proportion of non-U.S. earnings.
(2)
Fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 net earnings include a
$186.5 million
and
$84.4 million
, respectively, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, of which
$68.0 million
and
$6.3 million
, respectively, are deductible for income tax purposes.
(3)
Additional valuation allowances of
$5.7 million
were established in fiscal 2015 due to uncertainty regarding utilization of foreign operating loss carryforwards, which were partially offset by the reversal of
$2.3 million
of previously established reserves.
(4)
The liability for unrecognized tax benefits decreased
$9.5 million
in fiscal 2015 primarily due to settlements and lapsing of tax audit statutes.

Substantially all of these unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate. As of August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized
$2.3 million
,
$1.8 million
and
$2.0 million
, respectively for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities in major tax jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal 2006. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to
$4.7 million
within the next twelve months.
The Company’s policy is to remit earnings from foreign subsidiaries only to the extent the remittance does not result in an incremental U.S. tax liability. Accordingly, the Company does not currently provide for the additional U.S. and foreign income taxes which would become payable upon remission of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Undistributed earnings on which additional income taxes have not been provided amounted to
$302.4 million
at August 31, 2016. If all such undistributed earnings were remitted, an additional income tax provision of
$39.2 million
would have been necessary as of August 31, 2016.

Both domestic and foreign pre-tax earnings are impacted by changes in operating earnings, acquisition and divestiture activities, restructuring charges and the related benefits, growth investments, debt levels and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In fiscal 2016, domestic earnings included a non-cash impairment charge of
$49.0 million
and a
$5.1 million
loss on the Sanlo divestiture while foreign earnings included a
$137.5 million
non-cash impairment charge. Fiscal 2015 domestic and foreign earnings were lower than the prior year, due to a non-cash impairment charge of
$20.3 million
and
$64.1 million
, respectively, while fiscal 2014 domestic earnings included a
$13.5 million
gain on the RV product line divestiture. Approximately
53%
,
68%
and
51%
of pre-tax earnings (excluding impairment charges) were generated in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. federal income tax rate during fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds totaled
$21.4 million
,
26.4 million
, and $
57.2 million
(including tax due on divestitures) during the years ended August 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 12. Stock Plans
Stock options may be granted to key employees and directors under the Actuant Corporation 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). At
August 31, 2016
,
9,400,000
shares of Class A common stock were authorized for issuance under the Plan, of which
1,935,182
shares were available for future award grants. The Plan permits the Company to grant share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and performance shares (the "Performance Shares") to employees and directors. Options generally have a maximum term of
ten
years, an exercise price equal to
100%
of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant and generally vest
50%
after three years and
100%
after five years. The Company’s restricted stock grants generally have similar vesting provisions. The performance shares include a
three
-year performance period, with vesting based
50%
on achievement of an absolute free cash flow conversion target and
50%
on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the S&P 600 SmallCap Industrial index. The provisions of share-based awards may vary by individual grant with respect to vesting period, dividend and voting rights, performance conditions and forfeitures.

As of
August 31, 2016
, there was
$24.8 million
of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock awards/units, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of
3.0
years. The total fair value of share-based awards that vested during the fiscal years ended
August 31, 2016
and
2015
was
$12.4 million
and
$14.2 million
, respectively.
The Company generally records compensation expense over the vesting period for restricted stock awards based on the market value of Actuant common stock on the grant date. Stock based compensation expense is determined using a binomial pricing model for options. The fair value of Performance Shares with market vesting conditions is determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. Assumptions used to determine the fair value of each option were based upon historical data and standard industry valuation practices and methodology. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in each fiscal year:

In addition to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the comparability of segment and product line information is impacted by acquisition/divestiture activities, impairment charges, restructuring costs and related benefits. Corporate assets, which are not allocated, principally represent cash and cash equivalents, capitalized debt issuance costs and deferred income taxes.

The Company’s largest customer accounted for less than
3%
of sales in each of the last three fiscal years. Export sales from domestic operations were approximately
6%
of total net sales in each of the periods presented. In fiscal 2016, sales of products contributed approximately
80%
of consolidated net sales, with the remaining revenue generated from engineering and technical manpower services, rental contracts and other sources. We provide certain Energy segment customers bundled products, services and rental assets. Further, our systems do not allocate costs between these sales categories. As a result, it is neither practical nor cost effective to disaggregate revenue and cost of sales separately for product sales, rental income and service revenue.
Note 14. Contingencies and Litigation
The Company had outstanding letters of credit of
$17.8 million
and
$18.1 million
at August 31,
2016
and
2015
, respectively, the majority of which relate to commercial contracts and self-insured workers compensation programs.
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of its business. These legal proceedings typically include product liability, environmental, labor, patent and other disputes. The Company has recorded reserves for loss contingencies based on the specific circumstances of each case. Such reserves are recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these
ACTUANT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
contingencies are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company remains contingently liable for lease payments under leases of businesses that it previously divested or spun-off, in the event that such businesses are unable to fulfill their future lease payment obligations. The discounted present value of future minimum lease payments for these leases was
$16.0 million
at
August 31, 2016
(including
$12.3 million
related to the former Electrical segment).
The Company has facilities in numerous geographic locations that are subject to a range of environmental laws and regulations. Environmental expenditures over the past three years have not been material. Management believes that such costs will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 15. Guarantor Subsidiaries
On April 16, 2012, Actuant Corporation (the “Parent”) issued
$300.0 million
of
5.625%
Senior Notes, of which
$288.1 million
remains outstanding as of
August 31, 2016
. All of our material domestic wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) fully and unconditionally guarantee the
5.625%
Senior Notes on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to make distributions to the Parent.
Certain assets, liabilities and expenses have not been allocated to the Guarantors and non-Guarantors and therefore are included in the Parent column in the accompanying consolidating financial statements. These items are of a corporate or consolidated nature and include, but are not limited to, tax provisions and related assets and liabilities, certain employee benefit obligations, prepaid and accrued insurance and corporate indebtedness. Intercompany activity in the consolidating financial statements primarily includes loan activity, purchases and sales of goods or services, investments and dividends. Intercompany balances also reflect certain non-cash transactions including transfers of assets and liabilities between the Parent, Guarantor and non-Guarantor, allocation of non-cash expenses from the Parent to the Guarantors and non-Guarantors, non-cash intercompany dividends and the impact of foreign currency rate changes.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 four non-guarantor wholly-owned subsidiaries were pledged as collateral under the debt agreement, which resulted in a change in entity status from non-guarantor to guarantor. This change was not properly reflected in the guarantor subsidiary footnote in fiscal 2015. In fiscal 2016, the Company corrected the classification of these entities as guarantors and all prior periods were recast to conform to the current guarantor structure. The impact of this change was to increase cash flow from operations of the guarantors by
$12.3 million
and
$1.8 million
in fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. This change had no impact on consolidated results of operations or financial position.
The following tables present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Actuant Corporation and its subsidiaries, the Guarantor and non-Guarantor entities, and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis.
