OSHKOSH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)



1.    Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise noted) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Oshkosh Corporation for the year ended September 30, 2016. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. “Oshkosh” refers to Oshkosh Corporation not including its subsidiaries and “the Company” refers to Oshkosh Corporation and its subsidiaries. Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2016 financial statements to conform to the fiscal 2017 presentation.


2.    New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and the FASB has since issued several amendments to this standard, which clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard supersedes all existing U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition and is expected to require the use of more judgment and result in additional disclosures. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2014-09 as of October 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and has not yet determined its method of adoption.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 is part of the FASB’s initiative to simplify accounting standards. The guidance requires an entity to recognize inventory within the scope of the standard at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2015-11 as of October 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-11 on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is expected to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. The standard requires lessees to reflect most leases on their balance sheet as lease liabilities with a corresponding right-of-use asset, while leaving presentation of lease expense in the statement of income largely unchanged. The standard also eliminates the real-estate specific provisions that exist under current U.S. GAAP and modifies the classification criteria and accounting lessors must apply to sales-type and direct financing leases. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 is part of the FASB’s initiative to simplify accounting standards. The standard requires that all tax effects of share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) be recorded in the income statement at the time the tax effects arise. The standard also clarifies that cash flows resulting from share-based payments be reported as operating activities within the statement of cash flows, permits employers to withhold shares upon settlement of an award to satisfy an employee's tax liability up to the employee's maximum individual tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction without resulting in liability classification of the award and permits entities to make an accounting policy election to estimate or use actual forfeitures when recognizing the expense of share-based compensation. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 as of October 1, 2016 following a prospective approach for the income tax and earnings per share impacts and a retrospective approach for the cash flow impacts. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard requires a change in the measurement approach for credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis from an incurred loss method to an expected loss method, thereby eliminating the requirement that a credit loss be considered probable to impact the valuation of a financial asset measured on an amortized cost basis. The standard requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast that affects the collectibility of the related financial asset. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2016-13 as of October 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on the Company's financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The standard requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset when the transfer occurs as opposed to when the asset is transferred to an outside party as required under current U.S. GAAP. The standard does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory, which will continue to follow current U.S. GAAP. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2016-16 as of October 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-16 on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement that an entity compute the implied fair value of goodwill based on the fair values of its assets and liabilities to measure impairment. Instead, goodwill impairment will be measured as the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the carrying value of the reporting unit. The standard also clarifies the treatment of the income tax effect of tax deductible goodwill when measuring goodwill impairment loss. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2017-04 as of October 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-04 on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The standard requires that an entity report the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement cost in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The remaining components of net benefit costs are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The amendment further allows only the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement costs to be eligible for capitalization, when applicable. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2017-07 as of October 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-07 on the Company's financial statements.

Finance Receivables: Finance receivables represent sales-type leases resulting from the sale of the Company's products and the purchase of finance receivables from lenders pursuant to customer defaults under program agreements with finance companies. Finance receivables originated by the Company generally include a residual value component. Residual values are determined based on the expectation that the underlying equipment will have a minimum fair market value at the end of the lease term. This residual value accrues to the Company at the end of the lease. The Company uses its experience and knowledge as an original equipment manufacturer and participant in end markets for the related products along with third-party studies to estimate residual values. The Company monitors these values for impairment on a periodic basis and reflects any resulting reductions in value in current earnings.

Delinquency is the primary indicator of credit quality of finance receivables. The Company maintains a general allowance for finance receivables considered doubtful of future collection based upon historical experience. Additional allowances are established based upon the Company’s perception of the quality of the finance receivables, including the length of time the receivables are past due, past experience of collectibility and underlying economic conditions. In circumstances where the Company believes collectibility is no longer reasonably assured, a specific allowance is recorded to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Finance receivables are written off if management determines that the specific borrower does not have the ability to repay the loan amounts due in full. The terms of the finance agreements generally give the Company the ability to take possession of the underlying collateral. The Company may incur losses in excess of recorded allowances if the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate or the full amount of any anticipated proceeds from the sale of the collateral supporting its customers’ financial obligations is not realized.

Notes Receivable: Notes receivable include amounts related to refinancing of trade accounts and finance receivables. As of March 31, 2017, approximately 88% of the notes receivable balance outstanding was due from four parties. The Company routinely evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers and establishes reserves where the Company believes collectibility is no longer reasonably assured. Certain notes receivable are collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets and/or other assets owned by the debtor. The Company may incur losses in excess of recorded allowances if the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate or the full amount of any anticipated proceeds from the sale of the collateral supporting its customers' financial obligations is not realized.

Quality of Finance and Notes Receivable: The Company does not accrue interest income on finance and notes receivable in circumstances where the Company believes collectibility is no longer reasonably assured. Any cash payments received on nonaccrual finance and notes receivable are applied first to the principal balances. The Company does not resume accrual of interest income until the customer has shown that it is capable of meeting its financial obligations by making timely payments over a sustained period of time. The Company determines past due or delinquency status based upon the due date of the receivable.

Receivables subject to specific reserves also include loans that the Company has modified in troubled debt restructurings as a concession to customers experiencing financial difficulty. To minimize the economic loss, the Company may modify certain finance and notes receivable. Modifications generally consist of restructured payment terms and time frames in which no payments are required. At March 31, 2017, restructured finance and notes receivables were $3.4 million and $11.3 million, respectively. Losses on troubled debt restructurings were not significant during the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Depreciation expense was $39.3 million and $35.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Capitalized interest was insignificant for all reported periods.

Equipment on operating lease to others represents the cost of equipment shipped to customers for whom the Company has guaranteed the residual value and equipment on short-term leases. These transactions are accounted for as operating leases with the related assets capitalized and depreciated over their estimated economic lives of five to ten years. Cost less accumulated depreciation for equipment on operating lease at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was $26.8 million and $18.6 million, respectively.


6.    Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if potential interim indicators exist that could result in impairment. The Company performs its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.

In March 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with various lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility) that matures in March 2019 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $600 million and (ii) a $400 million term loan (Term Loan) due in quarterly principal installments of $5 million with a balloon payment of $310 million due at maturity in March 2019. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company prepaid all quarterly principal installments required during fiscal 2017. In January 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with lenders under the Credit Agreement that increased the Revolving Credit Facility to an aggregate maximum amount of $850 million. At March 31, 2017, there was no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2017, outstanding letters of credit of $100.5 million reduced available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $749.5 million.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and the Company will guarantee the obligations of certain of its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement is collateralized by (i) a first-priority perfected lien and security interests in substantially all of the personal property of the Company, each material subsidiary of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor, (ii) mortgages upon certain real property of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and (iii) a pledge of the equity of each material subsidiary of the Company.


12
OSHKOSH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


Under the Credit Agreement, the Company must pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.225% to 0.35% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement and (ii) a fee ranging from 0.625% to 2.00% per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn for each letter of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (ii) for dollar-denominated loans only, the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied. At March 31, 2017, the interest spread on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan was 150 basis points. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan was 2.29% at March 31, 2017.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including requirements that the Company maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels and restrictions, subject to certain exceptions, on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, consummate acquisitions and make investments in joint ventures and foreign subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains the following financial covenants:
•
Leverage Ratio: A maximum leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated indebtedness to consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items (EBITDA)) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of 4.50 to 1.00.
•
Interest Coverage Ratio: A minimum interest coverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to the Company’s consolidated cash interest expense) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of 2.50 to 1.00.
•
Senior Secured Leverage Ratio: A maximum senior secured leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated secured indebtedness to the Company’s consolidated EBITDA) of 3.00 to 1.00.

With certain exceptions, the Company may elect to have the collateral pledged in connection with the Credit Agreement released during any period that the Company maintains an investment grade corporate family rating from either Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investor Service Inc. During any such period when the collateral has been released, the Company’s leverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter must not be greater than 3.75 to 1.00, and the Company would not be subject to any additional requirement to limit its senior secured leverage ratio.

The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2017.

Additionally, with certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement limits the ability of the Company to pay dividends and other distributions, including repurchases of shares of its Common Stock. However, so long as no event of default exists under the Credit Agreement or would result from such payment, the Company may pay dividends and other distributions after March 3, 2010 in an aggregate amount not exceeding the sum of:
i.
50% of the consolidated net income of the Company and its subsidiaries (or if such consolidated net income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), accrued on a cumulative basis during the period beginning on January 1, 2010 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of the applicable proposed dividend or distribution; and
ii.
100% of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company subsequent to March 3, 2010 either as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issuance and sale of its Common Stock.

In February 2014, the Company issued $250.0 million of 5.375% unsecured senior notes due March 1, 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”). In March 2015, the Company issued $250.0 million of 5.375% unsecured senior notes due March 1, 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The Company has the option to redeem the 2022 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes for a premium after March 1, 2017 and March 1, 2020, respectively.

OSHKOSH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


The 2022 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to separate indentures (the “Indentures”) among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and a trustee. The Indentures contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the 2022 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes. See Note 21 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for separate financial information of the subsidiary guarantors.

The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based upon Level 2 inputs to reflect market rate of the Company’s debt. At March 31, 2017, the fair value of the 2022 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes was estimated to be $260 million ($262 million at September 30, 2016) and $257 million ($263 million at September 30, 2016), respectively. The fair value of the Term Loan approximated book value at both March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016. See Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the definition of a Level 2 input.


8.    Warranties

The Company’s products generally carry explicit warranties that extend from six months to five years, based on terms that are generally accepted in the marketplace. Selected components (such as engines, transmissions, tires, etc.) included in the Company’s end products may include manufacturers’ warranties. These manufacturers’ warranties are generally passed on to the end customer of the Company’s products, and the customer would generally deal directly with the component manufacturer. Accrued warranty is reported in “Other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company offers a variety of extended warranty programs. The premiums received for an extended warranty are generally deferred until after the expiration of the standard warranty period. The unearned premium is then recognized in income over the term of the extended warranty period in proportion to the costs that are expected to be incurred. Unamortized extended warranty premiums totaled $29.2 million and $29.5 million at March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs are recorded at the time of sale and are periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. Certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. At times, warranty issues arise that are beyond the scope of the Company's historical experience. It is reasonably possible that additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters in excess of amounts accrued; however, the Company does not expect that any such amounts, while not determinable, would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

9.    Guarantee Arrangements

The Company is party to multiple agreements whereby at March 31, 2017 it guaranteed an aggregate of $583.5 million in indebtedness of customers. The Company estimated that its maximum loss exposure under these contracts at March 31, 2017 was $118.1 million. Under the terms of these and various related agreements and upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company generally has the ability to, among other things, take possession of the underlying collateral. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate and result in their inability to make payments, then loss provisions in excess of amounts provided for at inception may be required. While the Company does not expect to experience losses under these agreements that are materially in excess of the amounts reserved, it cannot provide any assurance that the financial condition of the third parties will not deteriorate resulting in the third parties’ inability to meet their obligations. In the event that this occurs, the Company cannot guarantee that the collateral underlying the agreements will be sufficient to avoid losses materially in excess of the amounts reserved. Any losses under these guarantees would generally be mitigated by the value of any underlying collateral, including financed equipment, and are generally subject to the finance company's ability to provide the Company clear title to foreclosed equipment and other conditions. During periods of economic weakness, collateral values generally decline and can contribute to higher exposure to losses.

10.    Shareholders' Equity

On August 31, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors increased the Company's Common Stock repurchase authorization by 10,000,000 shares, increasing the repurchase authorization to 10,299,198 shares. Between August 31, 2015 and March 31, 2017, the Company repurchased 2,786,624 shares under this authorization at a cost of $112.0 million. As a result, the Company had 7,512,574 shares of Common Stock remaining under this repurchase authorization as of March 31, 2017. The Company is restricted by its Credit Agreement from repurchasing shares in certain situations. See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding these restrictions.


11.    Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company has used forward foreign currency exchange contracts (derivatives) to reduce the exchange rate risk of specific foreign currency denominated transactions. These derivatives typically require the exchange of a foreign currency for U.S. dollars at a fixed rate at a future date. At times, the Company has designated these hedges as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. At March 31, 2017, the total notional U.S. dollar equivalent of outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts designated as hedges in accordance with ASC Topic 815 was $7.4 million. Net gains or losses related to hedge ineffectiveness were insignificant for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Ineffectiveness is included in “Miscellaneous, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income along with mark-to-market adjustments on outstanding non-designated derivatives. At March 31, 2017, the maximum length of time the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows was ten months.

The Company has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to create an economic hedge to manage foreign exchange risk exposure associated with non-functional currency denominated payables resulting from global sourcing activities. The Company has not designated these derivative contracts as hedge transactions under FASB ASC Topic 815, and accordingly, the mark-to-market impact of these derivatives is recorded each period in current earnings. At March 31, 2017, the U.S. dollar equivalent of these outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts totaled $106.4 million in notional amounts covering a variety of foreign currencies.

The Company has entered into interest rate contracts to create an economic hedge to manage changes in interest rates on executory sales contracts that exposes the Company to interest rate risk based on changes in market interest rates. The Company has not designated these interest rate contracts as hedge transactions under FASB ASC Topic 815, and accordingly, the mark-to-market impact of these derivatives is recorded each period in current earnings. At March 31, 2017, the U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of these outstanding interest rate contracts totaled $19.8 million.

12.    Fair Value Measurement

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment.


16
OSHKOSH CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

There were no transfers of assets between levels during the three and six months ended March 31, 2017.

13.    Stock-Based Compensation

In February 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2017 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “2017 Stock Plan”). The 2017 Stock Plan replaced the 2009 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (as amended, the “2009 Stock Plan”), which succeeded the 2004 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (as amended, the “2004 Stock Plan”). While no new awards will be granted under the 2004 Stock Plan or the 2009 Stock Plan, awards previously made under either plan that were outstanding as of the approval date of the 2017 Stock Plan will remain outstanding and continue to be governed by the provisions of the respective stock plan under which they were issued. At March 31, 2017, the Company had reserved 9,180,842 shares of Common Stock available for issuance to provide for the exercise of outstanding stock options and the issuance of Common Stock under incentive compensation awards, including awards issued prior to the effective date of the 2017 Stock Plan.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period for vesting of an award, or to an employee's eligible retirement date, if earlier and applicable. Total stock-based compensation expense, including cash-based liability awards, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 was $6.5 million ($4.1 million net of tax) and $14.4 million ($9.1 million net of tax), respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense, including cash-based liability awards, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 was $6.5 million ($4.1 million net of tax) and $12.5 million ($7.9 million net of tax), respectively.


14.    Restructuring and Other Charges

On September 21, 2016, the Company committed to transition its access equipment aftermarket parts distribution network to a third party logistics company. As a result, the access equipment segment will cease operations at its Orrville, Ohio parts distribution center by August 1, 2017. This initiative is intended to improve customer service levels, increase operational efficiency and allow the Company to reallocate resources to invest in future growth. The Company expects to incur cash charges related to severance costs and other employment-related benefits of approximately $3.0 million related to this decision, of which $0.4 million and $1.1 million were incurred in the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, respectively.

In November 2016, the commercial segment recognized $0.4 million of restructuring costs to better align the commercial segment cost structure for long term success. This program is now complete.

On January 26, 2017, as part of simplification activities in support of the Company’s MOVE strategy, the access equipment segment announced it had committed to certain restructuring plans. The plans include the closure of its manufacturing plant and pre-delivery inspection facilities in Belgium, the streamlining of telehandler product offerings to a reduced range in Europe, the transfer of remaining European telehandler manufacturing to the Company’s facility in Romania and reductions in engineering staff supporting European telehandlers, including the closure of the UK-based engineering facility. The announced plans also include the move of North American telehandler production from Ohio to facilities in Pennsylvania. The Company expects total implementation costs for these actions to be approximately $45.0 million to $50.0 million, including approximately $11.0 million of operating costs related to the plans that are expected to result in future benefit to the Company. Approximately $43.0 million of the pre-tax implementation costs are expected to be incurred in fiscal 2017 with the remainder to be incurred in fiscal 2018. The access equipment segment recognized $16.3 million of restructuring costs under this plan for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2017. In addition, the access equipment segment recognized $0.9 million of operating expenses related to this plan in the three and six months ended March 31, 2017.

16.    Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, or 35.0% of pre-tax income, compared to $20.3 million, or 27.0% of pre-tax income, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were favorably impacted by $1.5 million of net discrete tax benefits, including a $1.8 million tax benefit related to employee-share based payments. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were favorably impacted by $4.4 million of discrete tax benefits, including $3.5 million related to provision to return adjustments and $0.8 million related to reduction in reserves for uncertain tax benefits resulting from statues of limitations lapses.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $28.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017, or 31.6% of pre-tax income, compared to $22.0 million, or 24.1% of pre-tax income for the six months ended March 31, 2016. Tax expense included net discrete tax benefits of $4.9 million and $8.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Discrete tax benefits recorded in the six months ended March 31, 2017 included $2.0 million of tax benefits related to employee share-based payments and $2.9 million of tax benefits related to the release of valuation allowances on federal capital loss carryforwards and state net operating losses. Discrete tax benefits recorded in the six months ended March 31, 2016 included a $2.4 million benefit related to the reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit in December 2015, a $3.5 million benefit related to provision to return adjustments, and a $2.0 million benefit related to reduction in reserves for uncertain tax benefits relating to interest adjustments and statutes of limitations lapses.

The Company’s liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, was $39.8 million and $37.4 million as of March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, net unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, of $26.2 million would affect the Company’s net income if recognized.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in the “Provision for income taxes” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized costs of $0.9 million and benefits of $1.4 million, respectively, related to interest and penalties. At March 31, 2017, the Company had accruals for the payment of interest and penalties of $11.3 million. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that federal, state and foreign tax audit resolutions could reduce net unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $1.8 million because the Company’s tax positions are sustained on audit, the Company agrees to their disallowance or the statutes of limitations close.

The Company files federal income tax returns as well as multiple state, local and non-U.S. jurisdiction tax returns. The Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities.

19.    Contingencies, Significant Estimates and Concentrations

Personal Injury Actions and Other - Product and general liability claims are made against the Company from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company is generally self-insured for future claims up to $5.0 million per claim. Accordingly, a reserve is maintained for the estimated costs of such claims. At March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the estimated net liabilities for product and general liability claims totaled $36.8 million and $38.3 million, respectively. There is inherent uncertainty as to the eventual resolution of unsettled claims. Management, however, believes that any losses in excess of established reserves will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Market Risks - The Company was contingently liable under bid, performance and specialty bonds totaling $608.8 million and $503.6 million at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Open standby letters of credit issued by the Company’s banks in favor of third parties totaled $100.5 million and $110.8 million at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Other Matters - The Company is subject to environmental matters and legal proceedings and claims, including patent, antitrust, product liability, warranty and state dealership regulation compliance proceedings, that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of all such matters and claims will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Actual results could vary, among other things, due to the uncertainties involved in litigation.

Major contracts for military systems are performed over extended periods of time and are subject to changes in scope of work and delivery schedules. Pricing negotiations on changes and settlement of claims often extend over prolonged periods of time. The Company’s ultimate profitability on such contracts may depend on the eventual outcome of an equitable settlement of contractual issues with the Company’s customers.

The Company was one of several bidders on a large, multi-year military truck solicitation for the Canadian government. The Company's bid was not selected and the Company subsequently submitted a legal challenge of that conclusion. In May 2016, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal ruled in the Company's favor in connection with that challenge. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate impact of this challenge and subsequent ruling in the Company's favor.


20.    Business Segment Information

The Company is organized into four reportable segments based on the internal organization used by management for making operating decisions and measuring performance and based on the similarity of customers served, common management, common use of facilities and economic results attained.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, for purposes of business segment performance measurement, the Company does not allocate to individual business segments costs or items that are of a non-operating nature or organizational or functional expenses of a corporate nature. The caption “Corporate” includes corporate office expenses, share-based compensation, costs of certain business initiatives and shared services or operations benefiting multiple segments, including start-up costs related to a shared manufacturing facility in Mexico, and results of insignificant operations. Identifiable assets of the business segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, certain property, plant and equipment, and certain other assets pertaining to corporate activities. Intersegment sales generally include amounts invoiced by a segment for work performed for another segment. Amounts are based on actual work performed and agreed-upon pricing, which is intended to be reflective of the contribution made by the supplying business segment.

Selected financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments and product lines is as follows (in millions):

21.    Separate Financial Information of Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness

The 2022 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes are jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Company’s 100% owned existing and future subsidiaries that from time to time guarantee obligations under the Credit Agreement, with certain exceptions (the “Guarantors”).

Under the Indentures governing the 2022 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes, a Guarantor’s guarantee of such Senior Notes will be automatically and unconditionally released and will terminate upon the following customary circumstances: (i) the sale of such Guarantor or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor if such sale complies with the indentures; (ii) if such Guarantor no longer guarantees certain other indebtedness of the Company; or (iii) the defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indentures.

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

Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain statements that Oshkosh Corporation (the “Company”) believes to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs, earnings, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including those under the caption “Executive Overview” are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “project” or “plan” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include the cyclical nature of the Company’s access equipment, commercial and fire & emergency markets, which are particularly impacted by the strength of U.S. and European economies and construction seasons; the Company’s estimates of access equipment demand which, among other factors, is influenced by customer historical buying patterns and rental company fleet replacement strategies; the strength of the U.S. dollar and its impact on Company exports, translation of foreign sales and purchased materials; the expected level and timing of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and international defense customer procurement of products and services and acceptance of and funding or payments for such products and services; higher material costs resulting from production variability due to uncertainty of timing of funding or payments from international defense customers; risks related to reductions in government expenditures in light of U.S. defense budget pressures, sequestration and an uncertain DoD tactical wheeled vehicle strategy; the impact of any DoD solicitation for competition for future contracts to produce military vehicles, including a future Family of Medium Tactical Vehicle production contract; the Company’s ability to increase prices to raise margins or offset higher input costs; increasing commodity and other raw material costs, particularly in a sustained economic recovery; risks related to facilities expansion, consolidation and alignment, including the amounts of related costs and charges and that anticipated cost savings may not be achieved; global economic uncertainty, which could lead to additional impairment charges related to many of the Company’s intangible assets and/or a slower recovery in the Company’s cyclical businesses than Company or equity market expectations; projected adoption rates of work at height machinery in emerging markets; the impact of severe weather or natural disasters that may affect the Company, its suppliers or its customers; risks related to the collectability of receivables, particularly for those businesses with exposure to construction markets; the cost of any warranty campaigns related to the Company’s products; risks related to production or shipment delays arising from quality or production issues, including any delays as a result of an accident at the Company’s Dodge Center manufacturing facility; risks associated with international operations and sales, including compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; the Company’s ability to comply with complex laws and regulations applicable to U.S. government contractors; cybersecurity risks and costs of defending against, mitigating and responding to a data security breach; and risks related to the Company’s ability to successfully execute on its strategic road map and meet its long-term financial goals. Additional information concerning these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in the Company's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, including, but not limited to, the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 26, 2017 and Item 1A. of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

All forward-looking statements, including those under the caption “Executive Overview,” speak only as of the date the Company files this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC. The Company assumes no obligation, and disclaims any obligation, to update information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Investors should be aware that the Company may not update such information until the Company’s next quarterly earnings conference call, if at all.

All references herein to earnings per share refer to earning per share assuming dilution.

General

Major products manufactured and marketed by each of the Company’s business segments are as follows:

Access equipment — aerial work platforms and telehandlers used in a wide variety of construction, agricultural, industrial, institutional and general maintenance applications to position workers and materials at elevated heights, as well as carriers and wreckers. Access equipment customers include equipment rental companies, construction contractors, manufacturing companies, home improvement centers and towing companies in the U.S. and abroad.

Defense — tactical trucks, trailers and supply parts and services sold to the U.S. military and to other militaries around the world.

Fire & emergency — custom and commercial firefighting vehicles and equipment, aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicles, snow removal vehicles, simulators and other emergency vehicles primarily sold to fire departments, airports and other governmental units, and broadcast vehicles sold to broadcasters and TV stations in the U.S. and abroad.

Commercial — concrete mixers, refuse collection vehicles, portable and stationary concrete batch plants and vehicle components sold to ready-mix companies and commercial and municipal waste haulers in the Americas and other international markets and field service vehicles and truck-mounted cranes sold to mining, construction and other companies in the U.S. and abroad.


Executive Overview

The positive momentum the Company generated in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 continued in the Company’s second quarter, as the Company reported earnings per share that exceeded the Company's expectations. The Company also exited the quarter with backlog up compared to the prior year quarter in all of the Company’s segments. The Company reported earnings per share of $0.58 in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $0.76 in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Second quarter fiscal 2017 results included $17.2 million, or $0.18 per share, of restructuring-related costs recorded in the access equipment segment as part of a restructuring plan announced in January 2017. The better than expected results for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were driven by the defense and access equipment segments. Defense segment results compared to the Company’s expectations benefited from the timing of sales and stronger than expected program execution. Access equipment segment results compared to the Company’s expectations benefited from a favorable product mix and a delay in the timing of discretionary spend.

Consolidated net sales increased $94.0 million, or 6.2%, to $1.62 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016. A 50% increase in defense segment sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016, led by Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected - All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) sales increases, more than offset single digit percentage sales declines in the access equipment and commercial segments. Access equipment segment sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were down 4.1% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016, which was better than the Company's expected full fiscal 2017 percentage sales decline for this segment. Commercial segment sales were down 8.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016, with refuse collection vehicle sales down 20.5% as a result of order weakness experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

Consolidated operating income decreased 12.0% to $80.4 million, or 5.0% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $91.4 million, or 6.0% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Second quarter fiscal 2017 results included $17.2 million of restructuring-related costs recorded in the access equipment segment as part of the restructuring plan announced in January 2017. Higher defense and fire & emergency segment results along with lower corporate expenses were more than offset by lower access equipment and commercial segment operating income.


33

In January 2017, as part of simplification activities in support of the Company’s MOVE strategy, the Company announced its intention to rationalize operations in the access equipment segment. These plans include the closure of its manufacturing plant and pre-delivery inspection facilities in Belgium, the streamlining of telehandler product offerings to a reduced range in Europe, the transfer of remaining European telehandler manufacturing to the Company’s facility in Romania and reductions in engineering staff supporting European telehandlers, including the closure of the UK-based engineering facility. The announced plans also include the move of North American telehandler production from Ohio to facilities in Pennsylvania. In total, the Company expects these actions will result in ongoing savings of about $20 million to $25 million per year. The Company expects to realize $15 million to $20 million of benefits in fiscal 2018 before achieving full run rate savings in fiscal 2019. The Company expects the pre-tax cost of implementing these actions will be approximately $45 million to $50 million, including approximately $10 million of non-cash charges. The Company expects to incur approximately $43 million of the cost of implementing these actions in fiscal 2017, of which it recognized $17.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

As a result of the solid performance in the first half of the year and positive outlook for the remainder of the year, the Company increased its fiscal 2017 earnings per share estimate range from $2.50 to $2.90 to $2.70 to $3.00 on operating income of $372 million to $402 million. Excluding expected access equipment segment restructuring-related charges, the Company also increased its fiscal 2017 adjusted earnings per share estimate range from $3.00 to $3.40 to $3.20 to $3.50 on adjusted operating income of $415 million to $445 million. Although the Company is only partially through the seasonally important Spring and early Summer time period, which typically drives how the segments with exposure to the construction season in the Northern Hemisphere will perform, the Company is encouraged by the strong backlogs in all of the segments at March 31, 2017. Full year fiscal 2017 sales are now expected to be $6.6 billion to $6.7 billion, compared to the Company's previous expectation of $6.5 billion to $6.7 billion.

The Company now expects access equipment segment fiscal 2017 sales to be approximately $2.8 billion, the high end of its previous range. The revised sales estimate for fiscal 2017 represents an estimated 7% decline from fiscal 2016 sales. The Company is also increasing its fiscal 2017 operating income margin outlook range for the access equipment segment from 6.15% to 6.95% to a range of 7.20% to 7.45%, reflecting both the higher sales estimate and an expected more favorable mix. Likewise, the Company also increased its adjusted operating income margin outlook range for this segment from 7.75% to 8.50% to a range of 8.75% to 9.00%.

The Company still expects fiscal 2017 defense segment sales to be approximately $1.85 billion. The Company is slightly increasing its fiscal 2017 defense segment operating income margin estimate, from 9.75% to 10.0%, reflecting stronger program execution.

The Company continues to believe fire & emergency segment fiscal 2017 sales will be approximately $1.0 billion with operating income margin of approximately 8.5%.

The Company still expects fiscal 2017 commercial segment sales to be approximately $975 million. The Company is reducing the commercial segment operating income margin expectation from 6.5% to a range of 5.0% to 5.5%, reflecting higher than previously expected inefficiencies related to a more pronounced production ramp from the first half to the second half of the year, a less favorable mix and a more challenging price/cost dynamic.

The Company is now estimating that fiscal 2017 corporate expenses will be approximately $145 million, compared to the previous expectation of a range of $140 million to $145 million.

The Company expects higher consolidated sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the prior year quarter as it expects higher defense and, to a lesser extent, fire & emergency segment sales to offset the impact of continued lower access equipment segment sales and lower expected commercial segment operating income margins. The Company expects higher earnings per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Compared to 2016

Consolidated net sales increased $94.0 million, or 6.2%, to $1.62 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016. A significant increase in sales in the defense segment was offset in part by lower sales in the access equipment and commercial segments.

Access equipment segment net sales decreased $31.1 million, or 4.1%, to $723.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The decline in sales was primarily due to lower telehandler sales volumes in North America and Europe (down $54 million) and a more competitive pricing environment (down $10 million), offset in part by higher sales of used equipment and service (up $14 million).

Defense segment net sales increased $149.1 million, or 50.2%, to $446.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in sales was primarily due to the ramp-up of sales to the U.S. government under the JLTV program and higher international M-ATV sales under the international contract award received in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Fire & emergency segment net sales decreased $2.9 million, or 1.2%, to $237.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower Airport Products unit volume (down $9 million), primarily due to the timing of international deliveries, offset in part by improved pricing (up $8 million).

Commercial segment net sales decreased $20.7 million, or 8.7%, to $216.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower refuse collection vehicle unit volumes (down $34 million), offset in part by higher package sales, which include third-party chassis (up $10 million).

First Six Months of Fiscal 2017 Compared to 2016

Consolidated net sales increased $53.4 million, or 1.9%, to $2.83 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016. An increase in sales in the defense and fire & emergency segments was offset in part by lower sales in the access equipment and commercial segments.

Access equipment segment net sales decreased $71.7 million, or 5.6%, to $1.21 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016. The decline in sales was primarily due to lower telehandler sales volumes in North America and Europe (down $72 million).

Defense segment net sales increased $125.6 million, or 20.4%, to $740.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher sales of heavy tactical wheeled vehicles to the U.S. government and the ramp-up of sales under the JLTV program, offset by lower international sales of M-ATVs. During the first six months of fiscal 2016, production of heavy tactical wheeled vehicles was ramping back up after a break in production experienced in fiscal 2015.


35

Fire & emergency segment net sales increased $22.1 million, or 4.9%, to $470.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016. The increase in sales was primarily due to improved pricing (up $13 million) and the sale of higher content units (up $7 million).

Commercial segment net sales decreased $21.8 million, or 5.0%, to $415.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower refuse collection vehicle unit volume (down $57 million), offset in part by sales of higher content units (up $22 million) and higher concrete mixer unit volume (up $6 million).

Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Compared to 2016

Consolidated cost of sales was $1.36 billion, or 83.9% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $1.27 billion, or 83.0% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The 90 basis point increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was largely due to restructuring-related charges incurred in the access equipment segment (110 basis points).

Access equipment segment cost of sales was $604.7 million, or 83.6% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $608.9 million, or 80.7% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The 290 basis point increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was largely due to restructuring-related costs (240 basis points) and a more competitive pricing environment (100 basis points), offset in part by improved product mix (70 basis points).

Defense segment cost of sales was $374.5 million, or 83.9% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $250.1 million, or 84.2% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The 30 basis point decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily attributable to improved absorption as a result of increased production (320 basis points) and favorable warranty performance (80 basis points), offset in part by adverse product mix (350 basis points).

Fire & emergency segment cost of sales was $196.3 million, or 82.7% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $208.4 million, or 86.7% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The 400 basis point decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily attributable to improved pricing (260 basis points) and improved product mix (140 basis points).

Commercial segment cost of sales was $185.6 million, or 85.9% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $194.8 million, or 82.3% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The 360 basis point increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was largely due to under absorption as a result of lower production (130 basis points), adverse product mix (70 basis points), increased warranty reserves (80 basis points) and costs related to an accident at one of its manufacturing facilities (50 basis points).

Intersegment eliminations and other includes intercompany profit on inter-segment sales not yet sold to third party customers, net of start-up costs of a corporate-led manufacturing facility not allocated to segments.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2017 Compared to 2016

Consolidated cost of sales was $2.37 billion, or 83.7% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $2.33 billion, or 84.1% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The 40 basis point decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was largely due to improved absorption in the defense segment as a result of increased production (80 basis points) and improved operating results related to a corporate-led manufacturing facility which was incurring start-up costs during the first six months of fiscal 2016 (40 basis points), offset in part by restructuring-related costs incurred in the access equipment segment (50 basis points).

Access equipment segment cost of sales was $1.00 billion, or 82.8% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $1.05 billion, or 81.9% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The 90 basis point increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was largely due to restructuring-related costs (140 basis points) and a more competitive pricing environment (110 basis points), offset in part by favorable product mix (70 basis points), the timing of new product development spending (30 basis points) and more efficient material usage (50 basis points).

Defense segment cost of sales was $623.4 million, or 84.2% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $524.7 million, or 85.3% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The 110 basis point decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was primarily attributable to improved absorption as a result of increased production (120 basis points) and favorable contract performance on multi-year contracts (40 basis points), offset in part by adverse product mix (130 basis points).

Fire & emergency segment cost of sales was $394.5 million, or 83.9% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $389.2 million, or 86.9% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The 300 basis point decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was largely due to improved pricing (220 basis points) and improved product mix (70 basis points).

Commercial segment cost of sales was $355.5 million, or 85.6% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $363.6 million, or 83.2% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The 240 basis point increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was largely due to under absorption as a result of lower production (130 basis points) and adverse product mix (90 basis points).

Intersegment eliminations and other includes intercompany profit on inter-segment sales not yet sold to third party customers as well as shared manufacturing start-up costs not allocated to segments.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Compared to 2016

Consolidated operating income decreased 12.0% to $80.4 million, or 5.0% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $91.4 million, or 6.0% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily the result of $17.2 million of restructuring-related charges in the access equipment segment.

Access equipment segment operating income decreased 44.4% to $42.1 million, or 5.8% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $75.7 million, or 10.0% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily the result of restructuring-related charges of $17.2 million. In addition, a more competitive pricing environment (down $10 million), higher selling, general and administrative salaries (up $6 million) and increased trade show expenses (up $4 million) all contributed to the decrease in operating income in the access equipment segment in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Defense segment operating income increased 75.2% to $48.7 million, or 10.9% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $27.8 million, or 9.4% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was largely due to higher gross income associated with higher sales volume (up $32 million) and improved manufacturing absorption as a result of higher sales (up $6 million), offset in part by adverse product mix (down $13 million) and higher incentive compensation expense (up $3 million).

Fire & emergency segment operating income increased 46.3% to $21.8 million, or 9.2% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $14.9 million, or 6.2% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily a result of improved pricing (up $8 million).

Commercial segment operating income decreased 65.1% to $6.0 million, or 2.8% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $17.2 million, or 7.3% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily a result of lower gross income associated with lower sales volume (down $8 million) and under absorption as a result of lower production (up $2 million). Commercial segment second quarter fiscal 2017 results also included $1.3 million of costs related to the accident at one of its manufacturing facilities.

Corporate operating costs decreased $6.0 million to $38.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in corporate operating costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily due to improved operating results related to a corporate-led manufacturing facility, which incurred higher start-up costs during the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9.8% to $169.8 million, or 10.5% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $154.7 million, or 10.1% of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was generally a result of higher incentive compensation expense, increased salaries and higher trade show costs.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2017 Compared to 2016

Consolidated operating income decreased 4.2% to $116.6 million, or 4.1% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $121.7 million, or 4.4% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The decline in operating income in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was driven by $17.2 million of restructuring-related charges in the access equipment segment, lower gross margin associated with lower access equipment segment sales, lower performance in the commercial segment and higher incentive compensation expense, offset in part by higher gross margin associated with higher defense segment sales, improved performance in the fire & emergency segment and lower start-up costs of a corporate-led manufacturing facility.


38

Access equipment segment operating income decreased 30.8% to $66.5 million, or 5.5% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $96.1 million, or 7.5% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The decline in operating income in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was primarily the result of restructuring-related charges of $17.2 million. In addition, a more competitive pricing environment (down $17 million), lower gross income associated with lower sales volume (down $14 million) and higher selling, general and administrative salaries (up $6 million) were offset in part by a favorable product mix (up $11 million).

Defense segment operating income increased 42.2% to $72.5 million, or 9.8% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $51.0 million, or 8.3% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The increase in operating income in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was primarily the result of higher gross margin associated with higher sales volume (up $27 million) and improved absorption as a result of higher production (up $5 million), offset in part by adverse product mix (down $10 million).

Fire & emergency segment operating income increased 55.2% to $38.8 million, or 8.3% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $25.0 million, or 5.6% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The increase in operating income in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was primarily the result of improved pricing (up $13 million).

Commercial segment operating income decreased 59.4% to $10.6 million, or 2.6% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $26.1 million, or 6.0% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The decrease in operating income in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was primarily a result of lower gross margin associated with lower sales volume (down $12 million) and under absorption as a result of lower production (up $4 million). Commercial segment results in the first six months of fiscal 2017 also included $1.3 million of costs related to the accident at one of its manufacturing facilities.

Corporate operating costs decreased $4.7 million to $71.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016. The decrease in corporate operating costs in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was primarily due to improved operating results related to a corporate-led manufacturing facility which incurred higher start-up costs during the first six months of fiscal 2016, offset in part by higher incentive and share-based compensation expense (up $7 million) in the first six months of fiscal 2017.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9.1% to $320.8 million, or 11.3% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $294.0 million, or 10.6% of sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. The increase in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016 was generally a result of higher incentive compensation expense, increased salaries and higher trade show costs.

Analysis of Non-Operating Income Statement Items

Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Compared to 2016

Interest expense net of interest income decreased $1.0 million to $14.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Other miscellaneous income of $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and other miscellaneous expense of $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 primarily related to net foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $23.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, or 35.0% of pre-tax income, compared to $20.3 million, or 27.0% of pre-tax income, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were favorably impacted by discrete tax benefits, largely related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation (260 basis points). Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 were favorably impacted by discrete tax benefits related to a change in a filing position on the Company's fiscal 2015 income tax return and reduction in liability related to expiration of statutes of limitations (580 basis points). Further, the reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit favorably benefited the second quarter of fiscal 2016 by 100 basis points.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $0.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 primarily represented the Company’s equity interest in a commercial entity in Mexico and a joint venture in Europe.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2017 Compared to 2016

Interest expense net of interest income decreased $1.2 million to $28.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016.

Other miscellaneous income of $2.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 and other miscellaneous expense of $1.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2016 primarily related to net foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $28.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017, or 31.6% of pre-tax income, compared to $22.0 million, or 24.1% of pre-tax income, in the first six months of fiscal 2016. Results for the first six months of fiscal 2017 were favorably impacted by discrete tax benefits, largely related to state tax matters (230 basis points) and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation (220 basis points). Results for the first six months of fiscal 2016 were favorably impacted by discrete tax benefits, including a change in filing position on the Company's 2015 federal income tax return (380 basis points), the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit (260 basis points) and reductions in reserves for uncertain tax benefits (220 basis points), related to interest and expiration of statutes of limitations. Results for the first six months of fiscal 2016 also include the ongoing benefit of the U.S. research and development tax credit (100 basis points).

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $1.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 and $1.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2016 primarily represented the Company's equity interest in a commercial entity in Mexico and a joint venture in Europe.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company generates significant capital resources from operating activities, which is the expected primary source of funding for its operations. Other resources of liquidity are available under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in “Liquidity”) and available cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $413.4 million. The Company expects to meet its fiscal 2017 U.S. funding needs without repatriating undistributed profits that are indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Company had $749.5 million of unused available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2017. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility could, as discussed below, be limited by the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement (as defined in “Liquidity”). These sources of liquidity are needed to fund the Company's working capital requirements, debt service requirements, capital expenditures, share repurchases and dividends. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately 7.5 million shares of Common Stock remaining under the repurchase authorization approved by the Company's Board of Directors in August 2015. The Company does not expect to repurchase any shares of Common Stock under this authorization during fiscal 2017.

Consolidated days sales outstanding (defined as “Trade Receivables” at quarter end divided by “Net Sales” for the most recent quarter multiplied by 90 days) were 49 days at both September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2017. Days sales outstanding for segments other than the defense segment increased from 51 days at September 30, 2016 to 54 days at March 31, 2017. Consolidated inventory turns (defined as “Cost of Sales” on an annualized basis, divided by the average “Inventory” at the past five quarter end periods) decreased from 4.1 times at September 30, 2016 to 3.7 times at March 31, 2017 as a result of the Company building inventory in its defense segment in anticipation of M-ATV vehicle deliveries under the international contract award received in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and seasonal build of inventory in the access equipment segment.

Cash Flows

Operating Cash Flows

Operating activities generated $148.1 million of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $96.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2016. During the first six months of fiscal 2017, increases in inventory in the access equipment and defense segments were offset in part by higher customer advances and accounts payable.

Investing Cash Flows

Investing activities used cash of $33.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $37.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2016. Capital spending, excluding equipment held for rental, of $28.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 reflected a decrease of $12.3 million compared to capital spending in the first six months of fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2017, the Company expects capital spending to be approximately $100 million.

Financing Cash Flows

Financing activities used cash of $21.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $64.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2016. In the first six months of fiscal 2017 and 2016, the Company repurchased shares of its Common Stock at an aggregate cost of $3.0 million and $101.6 million, respectively. During the first six months of fiscal 2016, the Company utilized net proceeds under the Revolving Credit Facility of $68.7 million to fund capital needs and stock repurchases. The Company prepaid all fiscal 2017 mandatory payments on its term loan during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In addition, the Company also received $33.2 million of cash from the exercise of stock options during the first six months of fiscal 2017, whereas only $1.9 million was received in the first six months of fiscal 2016.

Liquidity

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

In March 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with various lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility) that matures in March 2019 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $600 million and (ii) a $400 million term loan due in quarterly principal installments of $5 million with a balloon payment of $310 million due at maturity in March 2019. In January 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with lenders under the Credit Agreement that increased the Revolving Credit Facility to an aggregate maximum amount of $850 million. Refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Credit Agreement.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries, and the Company will guarantee the obligations of certain of its subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement is collateralized by (i) a first-priority perfected lien and security interests in substantially all of the personal property of the Company, each material subsidiary of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor, (ii) mortgages upon certain real property of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and (iii) a pledge of the equity of each material subsidiary of the Company.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company must pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.225% to 0.35% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement and (ii) a fee ranging from 0.625% to 2.00% per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn for each letter of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement.


41

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied, or (ii) for dollar-denominated loans only, the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent's prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus a specified margin, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether certain criteria are satisfied.

Covenant Compliance

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including requirements that the Company maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels and restrictions, subject to certain exceptions, on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, consummate acquisitions and make investments in joint ventures and foreign subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains the following financial covenants:
•
Leverage Ratio: A maximum leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated indebtedness to consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items (EBITDA)) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of 4.50 to 1.0.
•
Interest Coverage Ratio: A minimum interest coverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to the Company’s consolidated cash interest expense) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of 2.50 to 1.0.
•
Senior Secured Leverage Ratio: A maximum senior secured leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated secured indebtedness to the Company’s consolidated EBITDA) of 3.00 to 1.0.

With certain exceptions, the Company may elect to have the collateral pledged in connection with the Credit Agreement released during any period that the Company maintains an investment grade corporate family rating from either Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or Moody’s Investor Service Inc. During any such period when the collateral has been released, the Company’s leverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter must not be greater than 3.75 to 1.0, and the Company would not be subject to any additional requirement to limit its senior secured leverage ratio.

The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2017 and expects to be able to meet the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement over the next twelve months.

Additionally, with certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement limits the ability of the Company to pay dividends and other distributions, including repurchases of shares of its Common Stock. However, so long as no event of default exists under the Credit Agreement or would result from such payment, the Company may pay dividends and other distributions after March 3, 2010 in an aggregate amount not exceeding the sum of:
i.
50% of the consolidated net income of the Company and its subsidiaries (or if such consolidated net income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), accrued on a cumulative basis during the period beginning on January 1, 2010 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of the applicable proposed dividend or distribution; and
ii.
100% of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company subsequent to March 3, 2010 either as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issuance and sale of its Common Stock.

Senior Notes

In February 2014, the Company issued $250.0 million of 5.375% unsecured senior notes due March 1, 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”). In March 2015, the Company issued $250.0 million of 5.375% unsecured senior notes due March 1, 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The proceeds of both note issuances were used to repay existing outstanding notes of the Company. The Company has the option to redeem the 2022 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes for a premium after March 1, 2017 and March 1, 2020, respectively.


42

The 2022 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to separate indentures (the “Indentures”) among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and a trustee. The Indentures contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee the Company’s obligations under the 2022 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes. See Note 21 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for separate financial information of the subsidiary guarantors.

Refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s outstanding debt as of March 31, 2017.


Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company's contractual obligations, commercial commitments and off-balance sheet arrangement disclosures in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 have not materially changed since that report was filed.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The Company's disclosures of critical accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 have not materially changed since that report was filed.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company's disclosures of critical accounting estimates in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 have not materially changed since that report was filed.

New Accounting Standards

Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of new accounting standards.

Customers and Backlog

Sales to the U.S. government comprised approximately 23% of the Company’s net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2017. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales for this period. A significant portion of the Company’s net sales are derived from customer orders prior to commencing production.

The Company’s backlog at March 31, 2017 increased 10.9% to $3.93 billion compared to $3.54 billion at March 31, 2016. Access equipment segment backlog increased 11.0% to $737.9 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $664.8 million at March 31, 2016 primarily due to improved market conditions in North America. Defense segment backlog increased 8.8% to $1.83 billion at March 31, 2017 compared to $1.68 billion at March 31, 2016 primarily due to the receipt of a large international contract for the delivery of M-ATVs in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and increased funding for the JLTV program. Fire & emergency segment backlog increased 11.3% to $1.01 billion at March 31, 2017 compared to $903.4 million at March 31, 2016. The fire & emergency segment experienced very strong orders in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, some of which were likely related to the timing of a February 1 price increase at Pierce. Commercial segment backlog increased 22.2% to $353.8 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $289.4 million at March 31, 2016. Unit backlog for concrete mixers and refuse collection vehicles as of March 31, 2017 was up 4.7% and 23.4%, respectively, compared to March 31, 2016. The commercial segment experienced a rebound in orders in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as a result of an atypical order pattern that resulted in customers ordering later in the fiscal year.

Reported backlog excludes purchase options and announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed. Backlog information and comparisons thereof as of different dates may not be accurate indicators of future sales or the ratio of the Company’s future sales to the DoD versus its sales to other customers. Approximately 31% of the Company’s March 31, 2017 backlog is not expected to be filled in fiscal 2017.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company is forecasting operating income and earnings per share excluding items that affect comparability. When the Company forecasts operating income and earnings per share, excluding items, these are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes excluding the impact of these items is useful to investors to allow a more accurate comparison of the Company's operating performance to prior year results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk for changes in interest rates and commodity risk, which are incorporated by reference to Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016, have not materially changed since that report was filed.


ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2017 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


44

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.



45

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.


ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

The Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risks, many of which are not exclusively within the Company’s control, which may cause actual performance to differ materially from historical or projected future performance. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016, which have not materially changed other than as reflected below.

We expect to incur costs and charges as a result of restructuring of facilities or operations that we expect will reduce on-going costs. These actions may be disruptive to our business and may not result in anticipated cost savings.

Periodically we restructure facilities and operations in an effort to make our business more efficient. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 we announced our plan to outsource aftermarket parts distribution in the access equipment segment to a third party logistics company. In January 2017, we announced plans to close our access equipment manufacturing plant and pre-delivery inspection facilities in Belgium, the streamlining of telehandler product offerings to a reduced range in Europe, the transfer of remaining European telehandler manufacturing to our facility in Romania and reduce engineering staff supporting European telehandlers, including the closure of our UK-based engineering facility. The announced plans also include the move of North American telehandler production from Ohio to facilities in Pennsylvania. We expect implementation costs for these actions to be between $45 million and $50 million, pre-tax, including approximately $10 million of non-cash charges. We recognized $17.2 million of restructuring-related costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and expect to recognize the majority of the remaining costs to implement these actions in fiscal 2017. In the future, we may incur additional costs, asset impairments and restructuring charges in connection with such consolidations, workforce reductions and other cost reduction measures that have adversely affected, and to the extent incurred in the future would adversely affect, our future earnings and cash flows. This is particularly true in our commercial segment where additional restructuring actions may be required as a result of challenging market conditions we are experiencing in this segment. Such actions may be disruptive to our business. This may result in production inefficiencies, product quality issues, late product deliveries or lost orders as we begin production at consolidated facilities or outsource activities to third parties, which would adversely impact our sales levels, operating results and operating margins. Furthermore, we may not realize the cost savings that we expect to realize as a result of such actions.

The explosion and fire in one of our Dodge Center, Minnesota production facilities in January 2017 may impact our expectations of future results in our Commercial Segment.

In January 2017, we experienced an explosion and fire in one of our production facilities in our commercial segment that injured five team members and resulted in a partial shutdown of our production facility. We maintain workers’ compensation, property/casualty and business interruption insurance for situations like these, subject to customary deductible/self-retention amounts. To the extent that the accident adversely impacts our ability to achieve our operating plan and/or results in costs that are not covered by insurance, our expected financial results may be adversely impacted. Further, if the accident adversely impacts our production capacity for an extended period of time and we are not able to make appropriate adjustments, the result may be a loss of business.

Changes in the tax regimes and related government policies and regulations in the countries in which we operate could adversely affect our results and our effective tax rate.

As a multinational corporation, we are subject to various taxes in both U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Due to economic and political conditions, tax laws, regulations and rates in these various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. Our future effective income tax rate could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. Recent developments, including potential U.S. tax reform discussions, the European Commission’s investigations of illegal state aid as well as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development project on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting may result in changes to long-standing tax principles, which could adversely affect our effective tax rate or result in higher cash tax liabilities. Increases in our effective tax rate or tax liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, profitability and/or cash flows.

46


Our financial statements are subject to changes in accounting standards that could adversely impact our profitability or financial position.

Our financial statements are subject to the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which are periodically revised and/or expanded. Accordingly, from time to time, we must adopt new or revised accounting standards that recognized authoritative bodies, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board, have issued. Recently, accounting standard setters issued new guidance that further interprets or seeks to revise accounting pronouncements related to revenue recognition and lease accounting and issued new standards expanding disclosures. We discuss the impact of accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet implemented in our annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. We do not provide an assessment of proposed standards, as such proposals are subject to change through the exposure process and, therefore, we cannot meaningfully assess their effects on our financial statements. It is possible that accounting standards we must adopt in the future could change the current accounting treatment that we apply to our consolidated financial statements and that such changes could have a material adverse effect on our reported results of operations and/or financial condition.


ITEM 2.    UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Common Stock Repurchases

On August 31, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors increased the Company's authorization to repurchase shares of the Company's Common Stock by 10,000,000 shares, taking the authorized number of shares of Common Stock available for repurchase to 10,299,198 as of that date. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had repurchased 2,786,624 shares of Common Stock under this authorization. As a result, 7,512,574 shares of Common Stock remained available for repurchase under the repurchase authorization at March 31, 2017. The Company can use this authorization at any time as there is no expiration date associated with the authorization. From time to time, the Company may enter into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan for the purpose of repurchasing shares under this authorization. The Company did not repurchase any shares of the Company's Common Stock under this authorization during the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

The Company intends to declare and pay dividends on a regular basis. However, the payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings and cash flows, capital requirements, the Company’s general financial condition, general business conditions and other factors. In addition, the Company's credit agreement limits the amount of dividends and other distributions, including repurchases of shares of Common Stock, the Company may pay on or after March 3, 2010 to (i) 50% of the consolidated net income of the Company and its subsidiaries (or if such consolidated net income is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), accrued on a cumulative basis during the period beginning on January 1, 2010 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of the applicable proposed dividend or distribution; plus (ii) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company subsequent to March 3, 2010 either as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issuance and sale of its Common Stock. The Company's indentures for its senior notes due 2022 and senior notes due 2025 also contain restrictive covenants that may limit the Company's ability to repurchase shares of its Common Stock or make dividends and other types of distributions to shareholders.
