Alamo Group Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Unaudited)
September 30, 2019
 
1.  Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

General

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Alamo Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.  The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the "2018 10-K").

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)". This update requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Similar to current guidance, the update continues to differentiate between finance leases and operating leases, however this distinction now primarily relates to differences in the manner of expense recognition over time and in the classification of lease payments in the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance leaves the accounting for leases by lessors largely unchanged from existing GAAP. The guidance became effective for us on January 1, 2019. As a lessee, this standard primarily impacted our accounting for long-term real estate and equipment leases, for which we recognized right-of-use assets of $7,747,000 and a corresponding lease liability of $7,868,000 on our consolidated balance sheet.

We adopted these provisions on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method that permits us to apply the new disclosure requirements in 2019 and continue to present comparative period information as required under FASB ASC Topic 840, "Leases". We did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which, among other things, allowed us to not account for lease and non-lease components separately for most of our asset classes and to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the right-of-use assets and liabilities. Adoption of the standards had no impact on results of operations or liquidity.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", to allow reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"). Upon adoption of the ASU, entities will be required to disclose a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. The standard is required to be adopted for periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption available for any set of financial statements that have yet to be issued or made available for issuance including retrospectively for any period in which the effect of the change is the U.S. corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Statement Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”, which modifies the disclosures requirements on fair value measurements. Among other things, the amendments add disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 fair value measurements and requires additional disclosures on unobservable inputs associated with Level 3 assets. The guidance will become effective for us on January 1, 2020. The impacts that adoption of the ASU is expected to have on our financial disclosures is being evaluated.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Statement Update (ASU) No. 2018-14, “Compensation, Defined Benefit Plans", which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The update removes certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The guidance will become effective for us on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted for any financial statements that have not been issued. The impacts that adoption of the ASU is expected to have on our financial disclosures is being evaluated.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” to improve information on credit losses for financial instruments. The ASU replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted beginning in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Accounting Policies

Leases

The following policy resulted from our adoption of the provisions of ASC Topic 842, “Leases", effective January 1, 2019, as described above in “Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2019".

If we determine that an arrangement is or contains a lease, we recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have elected to not account for the lease and non-lease components separately for most of our asset classes with the exception of real-estate. We have also elected to exclude all lease agreements with an initial term of 12 months or less from the lease recognition requirements.

3.  Business Combinations

On March 4, 2019, the Company acquired 100 percent of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Dutch Power Company B.V. ("Dutch Power"). Dutch Power designs, manufactures and sells a variety of landscape and vegetation management machines primarily in Europe. The primary reason for the Dutch Power acquisition was to enhance the Company's platform for growth by increasing both the Company's product portfolio and capabilities in the European market. The acquisition price was approximately $53 million.

The total purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including deferred taxes. During the third quarter of 2019, additional information was obtained and an adjustment was made to goodwill for approximately $2.0 million. Certain estimated values are not yet finalized and are subject to change. The Company will finalize the amounts once the necessary information is obtained and the analysis is complete.

In the period between the date of acquisition and September 30, 2019, Dutch Power generated approximately $27.7 million of net sales and $0.8 million of net income. The Company has included the operating results of Dutch Power in its consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

The following table reflects the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

Cash $ 87   
Accounts receivable 6,278   
Inventory 17,731   
Prepaid and other assets 1,901   
Property, plant and equipment 13,439   
Intangible assets 14,095   
Other liabilities assumed (12,606)  
Net assets assumed $ 40,925   
Goodwill 11,686   
Acquisition Price $ 52,611   

4.  Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable is shown net of sales discounts and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

At September 30, 2019 the Company had $16,807,000 in reserves for sales discounts compared to $18,123,000 at December 31, 2018 related to products shipped to our customers under various promotional programs. The decrease was primarily due to reduced discounts reserved related to lower sales of the Company's agricultural products sold during the first nine months of 2019.

5.  Inventories
 
Inventories valued at LIFO cost represented 56% and 60% of total inventory at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The excess of current cost over LIFO valued inventories was approximately $10,646,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.  Accordingly, interim LIFO must be based, to some extent, on management's estimates at each quarter end. Net inventories consist of the following:

Inventory obsolescence reserves were $6,991,000 at September 30, 2019 and $7,194,000 at December 31, 2018.

6. Rental Equipment

Rental equipment is shown net of accumulated depreciation of $13,359,000 and $11,145,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized depreciation expense of $2,447,000 and $1,808,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively and $6,770,000 and $4,790,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

7.  Fair Value Measurements
 
The carrying values of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of our debt approximates the fair value as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, as the floating rates on our outstanding balances approximate current market rates. This conclusion was made based on Level 2 inputs.

12. Income Taxes

Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") that instituted fundamental changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("the Code").

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we revised our initial provisional amount recorded at December 31, 2017 for the transitional tax on the deemed repatriation of the accumulated earnings and profits of our international subsidiaries and the impact of the federal tax rate change on the value of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The transition tax liability on the deemed repatriation decreased $4.2 million, primarily as a result of additional analysis performed over our historical foreign earnings and foreign source income which provided increased ability to credit foreign taxes associated with the deemed repatriation. In addition, the impact of the rate change on deferred increased by $1.2 million due to adjustments resulting from the filing of our 2017 federal income tax return. The net benefit to income taxes reduced the Company's effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 to 11.8%, as well as reducing the effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2018 to 21.0%.

14.  Contingent Matters
  
The Company is subject to various legal actions which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. The most prevalent of such actions relate to product liability, which is generally covered by insurance after various self-insured retention amounts. While amounts claimed might be substantial and the ultimate liability with respect to such litigation cannot be determined at this time, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations; however, the ultimate resolution cannot be determined at this time.

Like other manufacturers, the Company is subject to a broad range of federal, state, local and foreign laws and requirements, including those concerning air emissions, discharges into waterways, and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and waste materials, as well as the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances at the Company’s facilities and off-site disposal locations, workplace safety and equal employment opportunities. These laws and regulations are constantly changing, and it is impossible to predict with accuracy the effect that changes to such laws and regulations may have on the Company in the future. Like other industrial concerns, the Company’s manufacturing operations entail the risk of noncompliance, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs or other liabilities as a result thereof.

15.  Leases
  
The Company leases office space and equipment under various operating and finance leases, which generally are expected to be renewed or replaced by other leases. The components of lease cost were as follows:

The Company is not required to contribute to the pension plans for the 2019 plan year, but may do so.

Supplemental Retirement Plan
 
In May of 2015, the Board amended the SERP to allow the Board to modify the retirement benefit percentage either higher or lower than 20%. In May of 2016, the Board added additional key management to the plan. As of September 30, 2019, the current retirement benefit (as defined in the plan) for the participants ranges from 10% to 20%.

The net period expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $214,000 and $250,000 respectively and $642,000 and $749,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
 
17.  Subsequent Events

On October 24, 2019, the Company reported that it had completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital shares of Morbark, LLC (Morbark), a former portfolio company of Stellex Capital Management, for a total consideration of approximately $352 million, on a debt free basis and subject to certain post-closing adjustments.

Morbark is a leading manufacturer of equipment and aftermarket parts for the forestry tree maintenance, biomass, land management and recycling markets. Their products include a broad range of tree chippers, grinders, flails, debarkers, stump grinders, mulchers and brush cutters, plus related aftermarket spare and wear parts. This includes the products sold under the Morbark, Rayco, Denis Cimaf and Boxer brand names. Morbark products are sold through a network of independent dealers with about 300 sales locations. Their products complement our core business and they've grown steadily in a sector which has performed well. We intend to maintain the Morbark brands in the market place. Morbark, with approximately 720 employees, is based in Winn, Michigan, with subsidiary operations in Wooster, Ohio and Roxton Falls, Quebec.

In connection with this acquisition, the Company expanded its credit facility from $250 million to $650 million to accommodate this event and the ongoing needs of the combined entities. The new credit facility has a five-year duration and consists of a $300 million term loan (used to finance the acquisition) and a $350 million revolving line of credit.

Overview
 
This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on Alamo Group’s current expectations.  Actual results in future periods may differ materially from those expressed or implied because of a number of risks and uncertainties which are discussed below and in the Forward-Looking Information section. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms the "Company", "we", "our" and "us" means Alamo Group Inc.
 
For the first nine months of 2019, the Company's net income decreased by approximately 6.3% when compared to the same period in 2018. This decrease was primarily the result of a favorable one-time adjustment to our prior year tax provision related to new tax legislation. Negatively affecting the Company's performance during the first nine months of 2019 was the continued soft market conditions in the agricultural market, which impacted our North American agricultural sales. Also, while higher material costs hurt profitability during the first quarter of 2019, steel costs have dropped during the second and third quarters, although this positive effect on our margins has been more than offset by unfavorable sales mix and lower production in our Agricultural Division.

The Company's Industrial Division experienced a 10.5% increase in sales for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018. Sales across all Industrial product groups, with the exception of mowing equipment which was down, outperformed during the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Agricultural sales were down in the first nine months of 2019 by 6.2% compared to the first nine months of 2018 as a result of continued weak demand for our products due to soft agricultural market conditions and declining farm incomes. Also negatively impacting results was a shutdown during the first quarter of 2019 of the Division's largest manufacturing facility for several days to install an upgrade to its paint system and heavy rains and flooding throughout the mid-west part of the U.S. that occurred during the second quarter. European sales for the first nine months of 2019 were up in U.S. dollars by 23.2% compared to the same period in 2018, mainly due to the acquisition of Dutch Power. Excluding Dutch Power, sales were up during the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same time in 2018 due to improved performance at our Rivard vacuum truck facility, despite being negatively affected by changes due to currency translation. Consolidated income from operations was $76.4 million in the first nine months of 2019 which was relatively flat compared to the first nine months of 2018, but the Company's backlog decreased 14.3% to $215.3 million at the end of the third quarter of 2019 versus the backlog of $251.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in the Company's backlog was attributable to softer new order bookings for our products in the Agricultural and Industrial Divisions. Excluding the acquisition of Dutch Power, increased orders in the European Division partially offset these lower new orders for the quarter.

19





































The Company incurred several challenges during the quarter and expect those to likely continue for at least the balance of the year although customer inquiry levels across the Company remain reasonable. Softer economic conditions in North America are beginning to have an affect in the manufacturing sector and consequently have dampened our sales. Also, the Company continues to be impacted by a tight labor market and difficulties in hiring and retaining skilled workers. Additional tariff costs, future changes in tariff regulations and ongoing trade disputes could further impact the business by increasing the cost of items used in the manufacturing of our products and by softening sales of our products to our customers who may be impacted directly or indirectly by increasing tariffs and other negative effects resulting from trade disputes. The Company may also be negatively affected by several other factors such as additional weakness in the overall economy; significant changes in currency exchange rates; negative economic impacts resulting from geopolitical events such as the unresolved Brexit situation, changes in trade policy, increased levels of government regulations; weakness in the agricultural sector; acquisition integration issues; budget constraints or revenue shortfalls in governmental entities; and other risks and uncertainties as described in “Risk Factors" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the "2018 Form 10-K").

On October 24, 2019, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital shares of Morbark, LLC (Morbark), a former portfolio company of Stellex Capital Management, for a total consideration of approximately $352 million, on a debt free basis and subject to certain post-closing adjustments.


Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
 
Net sales for the third quarter of 2019 were $271,829,000, an increase of $14,257,000 or 5.5% compared to $257,572,000 for the third quarter of 2018.  The increase in sales was mainly attributable to $10,031,000 of net sales from the acquisition of Dutch Power and to a lesser extent, increased demand for our products in the Company's European and Industrial Division.
 
Net Industrial sales increased by $1,778,000 or 1.1% to $158,499,000 for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $156,721,000 during the same period in 2018. The increase was attributable to higher sales in most product groups specifically sweeper, vacuum truck and snow product lines which were helped by stable municipal demand offset by lower sales of mowing equipment and excavators reflecting softer demand from some of our industrial and state-level governmental customers.
 
Net Agricultural sales were $59,797,000 in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $61,464,000 for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $1,667,000 or 2.7%. The decrease was primarily the result of weak market conditions which limited sales growth in wholegoods as farm incomes remained challenged. Also, an unfavorable product mix of less high margin mowers sales negatively affected both sales and profitability in this division.
 
Net European sales for the third quarter of 2019 were $53,533,000, an increase of $14,146,000 or 35.9% compared to $39,387,000 during the third quarter of 2018.  The increase was mostly due to the acquisition of Dutch Power which added $10,031,000 of net sales during the quarter. Excluding Dutch Power, sales in the European Division were up mainly due to increased sales levels from Rivard which more than offset unfavorable currency translation.
 
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2019 was $68,710,000 (25.3% of net sales) compared to $66,772,000 (25.9% of net sales) during the same period in 2018, an increase of $1,938,000.  The increase in gross profit during the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to the acquisition of Dutch Power. Excluding Dutch Power, gross profit was essentially flat, but lower as a percent of sales due to lower production and unfavorable sales mix which more than offset lower material costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $44,255,000 (16.3% of net sales) during the third quarter of 2019 compared to $38,523,000 (15.0% of net sales) during the same period of 2018, an increase of $5,732,000. The increase primarily came from the acquisition of Dutch Power in the amount of $2,472,000. Also,
20





































attributing to the increase was $843,000 in acquisition expenses along with increased bonus accrual and spending on research and development projects during the third quarter of 2019.
 
Interest expense was $1,837,000 for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $1,399,000 during the same period in 2018, an increase of $438,000.  The increase during the third quarter of 2019 came from increased borrowings due to the Dutch Power acquisition.
 
Other income (expense), net was $242,000 of income for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $265,000 of expense during the same period in 2018.  The income in 2019 was primarily due to the the sale of property for $350,000 and the expense in 2018 was primarily the result of changes in currency exchange rates.
                                         
Provision for income taxes was $5,801,000 (25.0% of income before income tax) in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $3,142,000 (11.8% of income before income tax) during the same period in 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a net benefit to income taxes of $2,995,000 relating to the adjustment in the provisional amounts recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 upon enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA"), as more fully described in Note 12 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The net benefit to income taxes reduced the Company's effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 to 11.8%.
    
The Company’s net income after tax was $17,418,000 or $1.47 per share on a diluted basis for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $23,543,000 or $2.00 per share on a diluted basis for the third quarter of 2018.  The decrease of $6,125,000 resulted from the factors described above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

Net sales for the first nine months of 2019 were $818,949,000, an increase of $66,165,000 or 8.8% compared to $752,784,000 for the first nine months of 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to increased demand for our products in the Company's Industrial Division. Our recent acquisition of Dutch Power also contributed to the increase in net sales in the amount of $27,679,000. Negatively affecting sales during the first nine months of 2019, were weak agricultural market conditions as well as unfavorable currency translation effects primarily in our European Division.
Net Industrial sales increased during the first nine months by $46,005,000 or 10.5% to $484,924,000 for 2019 compared to $438,919,000 during the same period in 2018. The increase came from higher sales of all product lines, with the exception of mowing equipment which was down compared to the same time in 2018 due to soft market conditions and adverse weather conditions experienced during the second quarter of 2019.

Net Agricultural sales were $168,129,000 during the first nine months of 2019 compared to $179,182,000 for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $11,053,000 or 6.2%. The decrease in sales for the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018 was a result of weak market conditions and lower farm incomes which have been impacted by lower commodity prices as well as trade disputes. A first quarter 2019 shutdown in the Division's largest manufacturing facility to install an upgrade to its paint system in addition to heavy rains and flooding throughout the mid-west part of the U.S. during the second quarter of 2019 also negatively hampered sales.

Net European sales for the first nine months of 2019 were $165,896,000, an increase of $31,213,000 or 23.2% compared to $134,683,000 during the same period of 2018. The increase in 2019 was mainly due to the acquisition of Dutch Power in the amount of $27,679,000 and to a lesser extent increased sales of Rivard equipment. Excluding Dutch Power, sales in local currency were up during the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same time in 2018 due to improved Rivard vacuum truck sales, despite being partially offset by unfavorable currency translation.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2019 was $205,151,000 (25.1% of net sales) compared to $193,483,000 (25.7% of net sales) during the same period in 2018, an increase of $11,668,000. The increase in gross profit for the first nine months of 2019 came from the acquisition of Dutch Power and higher equipment sales in the Company's Industrial Division. Negatively affecting both gross margin and margin percentage for the first nine months of 2019 were the effects of lower production and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by lower material costs and improvements in the Rivard vacuum truck business.

21





































SG&A expenses were $128,741,000 (15.7% of net sales) during the first nine months of 2019 compared to $117,087,000 (15.6% of net sales) during the same period of 2018, an increase of $11,654,000. The increase primarily came from increased spending on research and development projects, higher selling expenses due to increased sales, as well as acquisition expenses in the amount of $1,240,000. Our recent acquisition of Dutch Power added $5,421,000 in SG&A expenses.

Interest expense was $5,222,000 for the first nine months of 2019 compared to $4,233,000 during the same period in 2018, an increase of $989,000. The increase during the first nine months of 2019 came from increased borrowings due to the Dutch Power acquisition.
Other income (expense), net was $442,000 of expense during the first nine months of 2019 compared to $491,000 of expense in the first nine months of 2018. The expenses in 2019 and 2018 were primarily the result of changes in exchange rates.

Provision for income taxes was $18,270,000 (25.5% of income before income taxes) in the first nine months of 2019 compared to $15,084,000 (21.0% of income before income taxes) during the same period in 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a net benefit to income taxes of $2,995,000 relating to the adjustment in the provisional amounts recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 upon enactment of TCJA, as more fully described in Note 12 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The net benefit to income taxes reduced the Company's effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2018 to 21.0%.
    
The Company's net income after tax was $53,338,000 or $4.52 per share on a diluted basis for the first nine months of 2019 compared to $56,897,000 or $4.84 per share on a diluted basis for the first nine months of 2018. The decrease of $3,559,000 resulted from the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
In addition to normal operating expenses, the Company has ongoing cash requirements which are necessary to operate the Company’s business, including inventory purchases and capital expenditures.  The Company’s inventory and accounts payable levels typically build in the first half of the year and in the fourth quarter in anticipation of the spring and fall selling seasons.  Accounts receivable historically build in the first and fourth quarters of each year as a result of fall preseason sales programs and out of season sales, particularly in our Agricultural Division.  Preseason sales, primarily in the Agricultural Division, help level the Company’s production during the off season.
 
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had working capital of $404,314,000 which represents an increase of $52,323,000 from working capital of $351,991,000 at December 31, 2018. The increase in working capital was primarily due to seasonality and the acquisition of Dutch Power.

Capital expenditures were $19,488,000 for the first nine months of 2019, compared to $18,781,000 during the first nine months of 2018. The Company expects higher capital expenditures in 2019 in order to consolidate production capacity, support improvements in operational efficiencies, invest in technology and for the previously announced construction of a new manufacturing facility for its Super Products vacuum truck operation in Wisconsin, as well as the expansion of our Tenco facility in Canada. The Company will fund future expenditures from operating cash flows or through our revolving credit facility, described below.

Net cash used for acquisitions was $58,531,000 during the first nine months of 2019. The amount used to acquire Dutch Power was approximately $52,611,000 with the remaining balance used for the Dixie Chopper acquisition.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $58,423,000 and $39,151,000 during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. The majority of the increase in net cash provided by financing activities in 2019 as compared to the prior year, was mainly due to borrowings to finance the acquisition of Dutch Power, partially offset by the repurchase activity related to the Company's common stock.

The Company had $51,888,000 in cash and cash equivalents held by its foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2019. The majority of these funds are at our European and Canadian facilities. As a result of the
22





































fundamental changes to the taxation of multinational corporations created by Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we no longer intend to permanently reinvest all of the undistributed earnings of our European foreign affiliates. While the Company intends to use some of these funds for working capital and capital expenditures outside the U.S., recent changes in the U.S. tax laws have substantially mitigated the cost of repatriation. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company repatriated excess cash from its European operations of approximately $24,000,000. The Company will continue to repatriate foreign cash and cash equivalents in excess of amounts needed to fund foreign operating and investing activities. Repatriated funds will initially be used to reduce funded debt levels under the Company's current credit facility and subsequently used to fund working capital, capital investments and acquisitions company-wide.

On October 24, 2019, the Company, as Borrower, and each of its domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement provides the Company with the ability to request loans and other financial obligations in an aggregate amount of up to $650,000,000. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company has borrowed $300,000,000 pursuant to a Term Facility repayable with interest quarterly at a percentage of the initial principal amount of the Term Facility of 5.0% per year with the remaining principal due in 5 years. Up to $350,000,000 is available under the Credit Agreement pursuant to a Revolver Facility which terminates in 5 years. The Agreement requires the Company to maintain two financial covenants, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum asset coverage ratio. The Agreement also contains various covenants relating to limitations on indebtedness, limitations on investments and acquisitions, limitations on sale of properties and limitations on liens and capital expenditures. The Agreement also contains other customary covenants, representations and events of defaults. The expiration date of the Term Facility and the Revolver Facility is October 24, 2024. As of October 30, 2019, $510,000,000 was outstanding under the Agreement. On October 30, 2019, $4,152,000 of the revolver capacity was committed to irrevocable standby letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business as required by vendors' contracts resulting in $133,964,000 in available borrowings. The Company is in compliance with the covenants under the Agreement.

Management believes the Agreement and the Company’s ability to internally generate funds from operations should be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, future challenges affecting the banking industry and credit markets in general could potentially cause changes to credit availability, which creates a level of uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.  Management believes that of the Company's significant accounting policies, which are set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Form 10-K, the policies relating to the business combinations, sales discounts, and goodwill and other intangible assets involved a higher degree of judgment and complexity. There have been no material changes to the nature of estimates, assumptions and levels of subjectivity and judgment related to critical accounting estimates disclosed in Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the 2018 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition.

Forward-Looking Information

Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  In addition, forward-looking statements may be made orally or in press releases, conferences, reports or otherwise, in the future by or on behalf of the Company.

Statements that are not historical are forward-looking.  When used by or on behalf of the Company, the words “estimate,” "anticipate," "expect," “believe,” “intend”, "will", "would", "should", "could" and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.  These uncertainties include factors that affect all businesses operating in a global market, as well as matters specific to the Company and the markets it serves.  Particular risks and uncertainties facing the Company include changes in market conditions; ongoing weakness in the agricultural sector; changes in tariff regulations and the imposition of new tariffs; a strong U.S. dollar; increased competition; trade wars or other negative economic impacts resulting from geopolitical events; decreases in the prices of agricultural commodities, which could affect our customers' income levels; increase in input costs; our inability to increase profit margins through continuing production efficiencies and cost reductions; repercussions from the pending exit by the U.K. from the European Union (EU); acquisition integration issues; budget constraints or income shortfalls which could affect the purchases of our type of equipment by governmental customers; credit availability for both the Company and its customers, adverse weather conditions such as droughts, floods, snowstorms, etc. which can affect buying patterns of the Company’s customers and related contractors; the price and availability of critical raw materials, particularly steel and steel products; energy cost; increased cost of new governmental regulations which effect corporations including related fines and penalties (such as the new European General Data Protection Regulation); the potential effects on the buying habits of our customers due to animal disease outbreaks and other epidemics; the Company’s ability to develop and manufacture new and existing products profitably; market acceptance of new and existing products; the Company’s ability to maintain good relations with its employees; the Company's ability to successfully complete acquisitions and operate acquired businesses or assets; the ability to hire and retain quality skilled employees; and cyber security risks affecting information technology or data security breaches.

In addition, the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties facing the industry in general, including changes in business and political conditions and the economy in general in both domestic and international markets; weather conditions affecting demand; slower growth in the Company’s markets; financial market changes including increases in interest rates and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; actions of competitors; the inability of the Company’s suppliers, customers, creditors, public utility providers and financial service organizations to deliver or provide their products or services to the Company; seasonal factors in the Company’s industry; litigation; government actions including budget levels, regulations and legislation, primarily relating to the environment, commerce, infrastructure spending, health and safety; and availability of materials.

The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and to recognize that the statements are not predictions of actual future results.  Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and from historical results, due to the risks and uncertainties described above, as well as others not now anticipated.  The foregoing statements are not exclusive and further information concerning the Company and its businesses, including factors that could potentially materially affect the Company’s financial results, may emerge from time to time.  It is not possible for management to predict all risk factors or to assess the impact of such risk factors on the Company’s businesses.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
 
The Company is exposed to various market risks.  Market risks are the potential losses arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates.  The Company does not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Risk        

International Sales
 
A portion of the Company’s operations consists of manufacturing and sales activities in international jurisdictions. The Company primarily manufactures its products in the U.S., U.K., France, Canada, Brazil, Australia and the Netherlands.  The Company sells its products primarily in the functional currency within the markets where the products are produced, but certain sales from the Company's U.K. and Canadian operations are denominated in other foreign currencies.  As a result, the Company’s financials, specifically the value of its foreign assets, could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the other markets in which the subsidiaries of the Company distribute their products.

To mitigate the short-term effect of changes in currency exchange rates on the Company’s functional currency-based sales, the Company’s U.K. subsidiaries regularly enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge approximately 90% of its future net foreign currency collections over a period of six months.  As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $903,000 outstanding in forward exchange contracts related to accounts receivable.  A 15% fluctuation in exchange rates for these currencies would change the fair value of these contracts by approximately $135,000.  However, since these contracts hedge foreign currency denominated transactions, any change in the fair value of the contracts should be offset by changes in the underlying value of the transaction being hedged.

Exposure to Exchange Rates
 
The Company translates the assets and liabilities of foreign-owned subsidiaries at rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect during the reporting period. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity. The total foreign currency translation adjustment for the current quarter decreased stockholders’ equity by $9,791,000.

The Company’s earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies, predominately in Europe and Canada, as a result of the sales of its products in international markets.  Forward currency contracts are used to hedge against the earnings effects of such fluctuations.  The result of a uniform 10% strengthening or 10% decrease in the value of the dollar relative to the currencies in which the Company’s sales are denominated would result in a change in gross profit of $6,558,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2019.  This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar.  In addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, which include a changed dollar value of the resulting sales, changes in exchange rates may also affect the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors’ products become more or less attractive.  The Company’s sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in sales levels or local currency prices. 

In March 2019, the Company entered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps and designated these swaps to hedge a portion of its net investment in a euro functional currency denominated subsidiary against foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts involve the exchange of fixed U.S. dollars with fixed euro interest payments periodically over the life of the contracts and an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. The fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps include €40 million ($45 million) maturing December 2021.

25





































Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s long-term debt bears interest at variable rates.  Accordingly, the Company’s net income is affected by changes in interest rates.  Assuming the current level of borrowings at variable rates and a two percentage point change for the third quarter 2019 average interest rate under these borrowings, the Company’s interest expense would have changed by approximately $750,000.  In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management could take actions to mitigate its exposure.  However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects this analysis assumes no such actions.  Further this analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. 

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of Alamo’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) and Vice President, Controller and Treasurer, (Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Based upon the evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) and Vice President, Controller and Treasurer, (Principal Accounting Officer) concluded that the Company’s design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. - Legal Proceedings

For a description of legal proceedings, see Note 14 Contingent Matters to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. - Risk Factors

We may not be able to realize the potential or strategic benefits of the acquisitions we complete, or we may not successfully address problems encountered in connection with acquisitions.

Acquisitions are an important part of our growth strategy and we have completed a number of acquisitions over the past several years. To date in 2019, we completed three acquisitions, namely, Dutch Power, Dixie Chopper, and Morbark, with Morbark being the most recently completed and most significant. Acquisitions can be difficult, time-consuming, and pose a number of risks, including:

•Potential negative impact on our earnings per share;
•Failure of acquired products to achieve projected sales;
•Problems in integrating the acquired products with our existing and/or new products;
•Potential downward pressure on operating margins due to lower operating margins of acquired businesses, increased headcount costs and other expenses associated with adding and supporting new products;
•Difficulties in retaining and integrating key employees;
•Failure to realize expected synergies including anticipated revenue benefits and/or cost savings ;
•Disruption of ongoing business operations, including diversion of management’s attention and uncertainty for employees and customers, particularly during the post-acquisition integration process; and
•Potential negative impact on our relationships with customers, distributors and vendors.

If we do not manage these risks, the acquisitions that we complete may have an adverse effect on our business, our results of operations or financial condition.

Other than as set forth under this Item 1A, there have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2018 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
