Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – September 30, 2019

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1 — Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Chart Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (herein referred to as the “Company,” “Chart,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

On July 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Harsco Corporation’s Industrial Air-X-Changers (“AXC”). AXC is a leading supplier of custom engineered and manufactured air cooled heat exchangers for the natural gas compression and processing industry and refining and petrochemical industry in the United States. See Note 10, “Business Combinations”, for further information regarding the acquisition of AXC.

Nature of Operations: We are a leading independent global manufacturer of highly engineered equipment servicing multiple market applications in Energy and Industrial Gas. Our unique product portfolio is used throughout the liquid gas supply chain in the production, storage, distribution and end-use of atmospheric, hydrocarbon, and industrial gases. Chart has domestic operations located across the United States and an international presence in Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas.

Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the reportable segments restructuring as further discussed in Note 3, “Reportable Segments.”

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” This ASU clarifies the accounting treatment for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements (hosting arrangements) that is a service contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” This ASU adds, modifies and clarifies several disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements relative to the three levels of inputs used to measure fair value in accordance with Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and subsequently issued additional guidance that modified ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 and

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – September 30, 2019

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts) – Continued

the subsequent modifications are identified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326.” The standard requires an entity to change its accounting approach in determining impairment of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an “incurred loss” to a “current expected credit loss” model. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within such fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the effect that ASC 326 will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, “Codification Improvements.” This ASU makes amendments to multiple codification Topics. The transition and effective date guidance are based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in this ASU do not require transition guidance and were effective upon issuance of this ASU. However, many of the amendments in this ASU had transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The FASB issued the update to provide amended guidance to “allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.” Additionally, under the new guidance an entity was required to provide certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The ASU expands and enhances hedge accounting to become more closely aligned with an entity’s risk management activities through hedging strategies. The ASU provides changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements and creates more transparency and better understandability around how economic results are presented in the financial statements. In addition, the new guidance makes certain targeted improvements to ease the application of accounting guidance relative to hedge effectiveness. This guidance was applied prospectively for annual periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and other subsequent amendments collectively identified as ASC 842, related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2019, (the “Commencement Date”) we adopted the new lease accounting standard using the modified retrospective transition option of applying the new standard at the adoption date for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating ROU assets, primarily consisting of leased facilities and equipment and operating lease liabilities of $34.8 as of the Commencement Date. The adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income or cash flows related to existing leases as of the Commencement Date. As a result, there was no cumulative-effect adjustment.

We elected certain practical expedients and as such did not reassess the following: 1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, 2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, 3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases and 4) whether existing or expired land easements are or contain leases. However, we will evaluate new or modified land easements under the new guidance after the Commencement Date. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. In addition, we implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption.

At lease inception, we determine if an arrangement is a lease and if it includes options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the options will be exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases are recognized as ROU assets and are included within property, plant and equipment, net and lease liabilities are included in operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, non-current in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the Commencement Date and at September 30, 2019. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were recognized on the Commencement Date based on the present value of lease

payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the Commencement Date in determining the present value of lease payments.

As of September 30, 2019, operating ROU assets and lease liabilities were $34.9 and $35.5 ($6.8 of which was current), respectively. The weighted-average remaining term for lease contracts was 6.9 years at September 30, 2019, with maturity dates ranging from September 2019 to August 2027. The weighted-average discount rate was 4.7% at September 30, 2019.

Certain operating leases contain rent escalation clauses and lease concessions that require additional rental payments in the later years of the term. Rent expense for these types of leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. We incurred $2.7 and $2.0 of rental expense under operating leases for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Rental expense under operating leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $6.8 and $6.2, respectively. Adjustments for straight-line rental expense for the respective periods was not material and as such, the majority of expense recognized was reflected in cash used in operating activities for the respective periods. This expense consisted primarily of payments for base rent on building and equipment leases. Payments related to short-term lease costs and taxes and variable service charges on leased properties were immaterial. In addition, we have the right, but no obligation, to renew certain leases for various renewal terms.

The following table summarizes future minimum lease payments for non-cancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

NOTE 2 — Discontinued Operations

On December 20, 2018, we closed the sale of our oxygen-related products business to NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD. (the “Divestiture”). As a result of the Divestiture, the asset group, which included our respiratory and on-site generation systems businesses, qualified for discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. As such, the financial results of the respiratory therapy and on-site generation systems businesses are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as discontinued operations for the prior-year periods presented.

NOTE 3 — Reportable Segments

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, the structure of our internal organization was divided into the following reportable segments, which were also our operating segments: Energy & Chemicals (“E&C”), Distribution and Storage Western Hemisphere (“D&S West”) and Distribution and Storage Eastern Hemisphere (“D&S East”). Corporate includes operating expenses for executive management, accounting, tax, treasury, corporate development, human resources, information technology, investor relations, legal, internal audit, and risk management. Corporate support functions are not currently allocated to the segments.

Upon closing of our acquisition of AXC (see Note 10, “Business Combinations” for more information), effective July 1, 2019, we changed our reportable segments from three segments to four segments: (i) D&S East, (ii) D&S West, (iii) Energy & Chemicals Cryogenics (“E&C Cryogenics”), and (iv) Energy & Chemicals FinFans (“E&C FinFans”). AXC was combined with Chart’s Hudson Products business and Chart Cooler Services businesses from the prior E&C segment to create a new segment called E&C FinFans. The E&C FinFans segment is focused on our unique and broad product offering and capabilities in air cooled heat exchangers (“ACHX”) and fans. E&C Cryogenics supplies mission critical engineered equipment and systems used in the separation, liquefaction, and purification of hydrocarbon and industrial gases that span gas-to-liquid applications. All prior period amounts presented in the tables below have been reclassified based on our current reportable segments.

The following table represents information for our reportable segments and our corporate function:

Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each year was $25.8, and $91.3 and $10.3 and $78.0, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods as a result of changes in the estimates of variable consideration related to long-term contracts, was not significant.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm signed purchase orders or other written contractual commitments from customers for which work has not been performed, or is partially completed, and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders.  As of September 30, 2019, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to remaining performance obligations was $755.6. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 86% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months and with the remaining over the next few years thereafter.

Investment in equity securities

During the third quarter of 2019, we made an investment in Stabilis Energy, Inc. (“Stabilis”) by converting $7.0 of a note receivable from Stabilis into an investment in their company stock. As of September 30, 2019, the value of the investment was $9.6, which reflects a $2.6 unrealized gain upon conversion and mark-to-market for this investment in equity securities recorded in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

We categorize our financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable to unobservable. Level 1 inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date. The Stabilis investment is measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 using Level 1 inputs.

Equity method accounting investments

Our equity investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting include a 50% ownership interest in a joint venture with Hudson Products de Mexico S.A. de CV which totaled $3.0 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. This investment is operated and managed by our joint venture partner and as such, we do not have control over the joint venture and therefore is not consolidated. Our equity in earnings from this investment was $0.3 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Earnings for the third quarter of 2019 and 2018 were not material. Additionally, we have a 25% ownership interest in Liberty LNG which we invested in during the third quarter of 2019 which totaled $3.3 at September 30, 2019. No earnings or losses have been recorded for this investment.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facilities and Term Loan

On June 14, 2019, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which includes a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “SSRCF”) with a borrowing capacity of $550.0 and a $450.0 term loan (together, the “2019 Credit Facilities”). The 2019 Credit Facilities replace our previous $550.0 senior secured revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature on November 3, 2022. The 2019 Credit Facilities mature on June 14, 2024. The 2019 Credit Facilities bear interest at a base rate plus a margin determined on a leveraged-based scale which ranges from 25 to 125 basis points for alternative base rate loans and 125 to 225 basis points for LIBOR loans. Interest and fees are payable on a quarterly basis (or if earlier, at the end of each interest period for LIBOR loans).

Significant financial covenants for the 2019 Credit Facilities include financial maintenance covenants that, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on and after June 30, 2019, (i) require the ratio of the amount of Chart and its subsidiaries’ consolidated total net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to be less than specified maximum ratio levels and (ii) require the ratio of the amount of Chart and its subsidiaries’ consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense to be greater than a specified minimum ratio level. The 2019 Credit Facilities include a number of other customary covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens or other encumbrances, sell assets, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make certain payments, investments, loans, advances or guarantees, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations and pay dividends or distributions. At September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants.

The 2019 Credit Facilities also contain customary events of default. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders thereunder would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. The 2019 Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Chart and substantially all of its U.S. subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of Chart and our U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our material non-U.S. subsidiaries (as defined by the Credit Agreement) that are owned by U.S. subsidiaries.

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts) – Continued

As of September 30, 2019, there was $450.0 in borrowings outstanding under the term loan bearing an interest rate of 3.29%. The term loan was a delayed draw loan and was not drawn until July 1, 2019 and has a defined amortization schedule, as defined by the credit agreement. Under the terms of the 2019 Credit Facility, 2.5% of the $450.0 term loan is payable annually in quarterly installments over the first two years, 5.0% is payable annually in quarterly installments over the third year, 7.5% is payable annually in quarterly installments over the fourth year and 10.0% is payable annually in quarterly installments over the fifth and final year. A ticking fee is required on the term loan, which ranges from 20 to 35 basis points of the unused balances which went into effect in July 2019 when drawn. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the ticking fee was $0.1.

We recorded $6.1 in deferred debt issuance costs, which is included in long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2019, associated with the term loan, which is being amortized over its five-year term beginning in July 2019.

The SSRCF includes a $100.0 sub-limit for letters of credit, a $250.0 sub-limit for discretionary letters of credit and a $50.0 sub-limit for swingline loans. We are required to pay a commitment fee on the SSRCF which ranges from 20 to 35 basis points of the respective unused balances. The letter of credit participation fee equals the daily aggregate letter of credit exposure at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowings (as defined, ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, based on the calculated leverage ratio). A fronting fee must be paid on each letter of credit that is issued equal to 0.125% per annum of the stated dollar amount of the letter of credit.

We paid $7.5 in deferred debt issuance costs related to the amended SSCRF and included $2.5 of the unamortized debt issuance costs from the prior senior secured revolving credit facility, which are presented in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2019 and are being amortized over the five-year term of the SSRCF. At September 30, 2019, unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the SSRCF were $9.5. In conjunction with the amendment of our credit facilities, we wrote off $0.2 in unamortized deferred debt issuance costs which related to the previous senior secured revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2019, there was $149.8 in borrowings outstanding under the SSRCF bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 1.99% and $61.2 in letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding supported by the SSRCF. At September 30, 2019, the SSRCF had availability of $339.0.

The following table summarizes interest expense and financing costs amortization related to the 2019 Credit Facilities and our previous senior secured revolving credit facility:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018

2024 Convertible Notes

On November 6, 2017, we issued 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $258.8, pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of such date (the “Indenture”). The 2024 Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 1.00%, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2018, and will mature on November 15, 2024 unless earlier converted or repurchased.

The 2024 Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. The 2024 Notes are senior in right of payment to our future subordinated debt, equal in right of payment with the Company’s future senior subordinated debt, and are subordinated in right of payment to our existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under our existing credit agreement.

A conversion of the 2024 Notes may be settled in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of the Indenture). The initial conversion rate for the 2024 Notes is 17.0285 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment as provided for in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $58.725 per share, representing a conversion premium of approximately 35% above the closing price of our common stock of $43.50 per share on October 31, 2017. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date as described in the Indenture, we will pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2024 Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, if the average market price of our common stock exceeds the applicable conversion price during the periods reported, shares contingently issuable under the 2024 Notes will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock. Since our closing common stock price of $62.36 at the end of the period exceeded the conversion price of $58.725, the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the 2024 Notes by approximately $16.0 at September 30, 2019. As described below, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions, which are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2024 Notes.

Holders of the 2024 Notes may convert their 2024 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2024 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after December 31, 2017 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for the 2024 Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the Indenture) per one thousand U.S. dollar principal amount of Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 97% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate for the 2024 Notes on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the Indenture.

On or after August 15, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding November 15, 2024, holders may convert their 2024 Notes at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, we may settle the conversion by paying or delivering either shares of our common stock, solely cash, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. It is our intention to settle the principal amount of the 2024 Notes in cash and excess conversion value in shares of our common stock.

We reassess the convertibility of the 2024 Notes and the related balance sheet classification on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2019, events for early conversion were not met, and thus the 2024 Notes were not convertible as of and for the fiscal quarter beginning October 1, 2019. There have been no conversions as of the date of this filing.

We allocated the gross proceeds of the 2024 Notes between the liability and equity components of the 2024 Notes. The initial liability component of $200.1, which was recorded as long-term debt, represents the fair value of similar debt instruments that have no conversion rights. The initial equity component of $58.7, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital, represents the debt discount and was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the liability component and gross proceeds of the 2024 Notes. The liability component was recognized at the present value of its associated cash flows using a 4.8% straight-debt rate and is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2024 Notes.

We recorded $5.3 in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the 2024 Notes, which are being amortized over the term of the 2024 Notes using the effective interest method. We also recorded $1.5 in equity issuance costs, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions Associated with the 2024 Notes

In connection with the pricing of the 2024 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Note Hedge Transactions”) with certain parties, including the initial purchasers of the 2024 Notes (the “Option Counterparties”). The Note Hedge Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon any future conversion of the 2024 Notes. Payments for the Note Hedge Transactions totaled approximately $59.5 and were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet.

We also entered into separate, privately negotiated warrant transactions (the “Warrant Transactions”) with the Option Counterparties to acquire up to 4.41 shares of our common stock. Proceeds received from the issuance of the Warrant Transactions totaled approximately $46.0 and were recorded as an addition to additional paid-in capital in the December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet. The strike price of the Warrant Transactions will initially be $71.775 per share (subject to adjustment), which is approximately 65% above the last reported sale price of our common stock on October 31, 2017. The Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to our stockholders to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.

The Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions effectively increased the conversion price of the 2024 Notes. The net cost of the Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions was approximately $13.5.

2018 Convertible Notes

On August 1, 2018, our 2.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due August 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) matured. The aggregate outstanding principal was $57.1 at August 1, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we settled upon maturity the 2018 Notes for total cash consideration of $57.1. Additionally, $0.6 of interest, which had previously been accrued, was paid at settlement.

The following table summarizes interest accretion of the 2018 Notes discount, 2.00% contractual interest coupon, and financing costs amortization associated with the 2018 Notes:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2018		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

2018 Notes, 2.0% contractual interest coupon	0.1		1.0
2018 Notes, total interest expense	$	0.5	$	2.9

Convertible Note Hedge, Capped Call and Warrant Transactions Associated with the 2018 Notes

The convertible note hedge and capped call transactions associated with the 2018 Notes expired in August 2018, with immaterial exercises. Approximately 90% of the separate warrants associated with the 2018 Notes expired without exercise. Prior to the expiration date of February 26, 2019, a portion of the separate warrants were exercised. These exercises were not material.

Foreign Facilities

In various markets where we do business, we have local credit facilities to meet local working capital demands, fund letters of credit and bank guarantees, and support other short-term cash requirements. The facilities generally have variable interest rates and are denominated in local currency but may, in some cases, facilitate borrowings in multiple currencies. As of September 30,

2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively, we had USD equivalent $4.3 and $11.2 in borrowing outstanding under these facilitates, with additional capacity of USD equivalent $21.1 and $65.6, respectively. The Company has foreign letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling USD equivalent $12.5 and $17.1 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 2.4% and 4.8% as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Letters of Credit

Chart Energy & Chemicals, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had $1.0 in deposits in a bank outside of the SSRCF to secure letters of credit. The deposits are treated as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets ($1.0 in other assets at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018).

Fair Value Disclosures

The fair value of the 2024 Notes was approximately 124% of their par value as of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The 2024 Notes are actively quoted instruments and, accordingly, the fair value of the 2024 Notes was determined using Level 1 inputs.

NOTE 9 — Product Warranties

We provide product warranties with varying terms and durations for the majority of our products. We estimate our warranty reserve by considering historical and projected warranty claims, historical and projected cost-per-claim, and knowledge of specific product issues that are outside our typical experience. We record warranty expense in cost of sales in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss). Product warranty claims not expected to occur within one year are included as part of other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table represents changes in our consolidated warranty reserve:

NOTE 10 — Business Combinations

Air-X-Changers Acquisition

On July 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of AXC pursuant to the previously disclosed Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May 8, 2019 (the “AXC acquisition”). The purchase price for AXC was $599.7, including post-closing purchase price adjustments with respect to working capital. We paid $592.0 of the purchase price at closing and the final working capital adjustment of $7.7 was paid during the third quarter of 2019. We financed the purchase price for the AXC acquisition with proceeds from borrowings under the 2019 Credit Facilities and the 2019 Equity Offering. See Note 8, “Debt and Credit Arrangements” and Note 11 “Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for more information. We incurred $1.2 and $4.2 in transaction related costs during the second quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2019, respectively, related to the AXC acquisition which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of income.

AXC is a leading supplier of custom engineered and manufactured ACHX for the natural gas compression and processing industry and refining and petrochemical industry in the United States. The ACHX offered by AXC is used in conditioning natural gas during recovery, compression and transportation from underground reserves through major pipeline distribution channels. In addition to natural gas compression and processing, AXC’s products are also used in the turbine lube oil cooling, landfill gas compression and liquids cooling industries. AXC’s end markets include process industries, power generation and refineries. AXC was combined with Chart’s Hudson Products business and Chart Cooler Services businesses from the prior E&C segment to create a new segment called E&C FinFans. The E&C FinFans segment is focused on our unique and broad product offering and capabilities in ACHX and fans.

We preliminarily allocated the acquisition consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The preliminary fair value of the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets were determined based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall

23

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts) – Continued

fair value measurement. It is also based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisition. As such, this was classified as Level 3 fair value hierarchy measurements and disclosures. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is assigned to goodwill.

We estimated the preliminary fair value of acquired developed technology and trademarks using the relief from royalty method. The preliminary fair values of acquired customer backlog and customer relationships were estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. Under both the relief from royalty and multi-period excess earnings methods, the fair value models incorporated estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows, estimates of future growth rates, and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows. The estimated useful lives of identifiable finite-lived intangible assets range from one to 12 years.

During the third quarter of 2019, we prepared a preliminary fair value analyses of acquired assets and liabilities as well as certain other analyses. The acquisition consideration allocation below has been updated based on this valuation but remains preliminary. As additional information becomes available, we may further revise the preliminary acquisition consideration allocation during the remainder of the measurement period, which shall not exceed twelve months from the closing of the acquisition. Any such revisions or changes may be material. Those areas that are subject to change, include the following:

• certain assumptions regarding the backlog intangible asset valuation including its useful life,

• finalizing the PP&E valuation and the respective useful lives for certain asset categories, and

• finalizing the evaluation of the income tax accounting considerations, including income tax effects of the above matters.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed in the AXC acquisition:

VRV Acquisition

On November 15, 2018, Chart completed the acquisition of VRV pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Share Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the original parties as well as VRV that replaced in full the original Purchase Agreement. Immediately thereafter, we assigned all of our rights and obligations under the Amendment to VRV Holdings S.r.l. (“Holdings”), a newly formed Italian subsidiary of Chart. The Amendment provided a revised transaction structure pursuant to which Holdings acquired VRV Technoservice S.r.l. (“VRV Technoservice”), a newly formed Italian company wholly owned by VRV (the “Acquisition”). Prior to the Acquisition, as contemplated in the Amendment, VRV contributed substantially all of its business to VRV Technoservice. VRV Technoservice changed its name to VRV S.r.l. following the Acquisition.

The Acquisition purchase price was 191.1 million euros (equivalent to $216.1), net of cash assumed of 1.3 million euros (equivalent to $1.4), is inclusive of the base purchase price of 125.0 million euros (equivalent to $141.3) paid in cash, assumed indebtedness of VRV, which was paid off immediately at closing or shortly thereafter, of 63.7 million euros (equivalent to $72.0), and net working capital and other agreed-upon purchase price adjustments finalized during the first half of 2019 of 3.7 million euros (equivalent to $4.2) which was settled early in the second quarter of 2019. Additional indebtedness of VRV of 4.4 million euros (equivalent to $4.9) was assumed at the acquisition date and paid off during the first and second quarters of 2019. All U.S. dollar equivalent dollar amounts are based on the exchange rate as of the acquisition date. We funded the Acquisition, including the subsequent payoff of assumed indebtedness, with borrowings of 140.0 million euros (equivalent to $160.3) from our former

senior secured revolving credit facility and the remainder with cash on hand.

VRV, which has operations in Italy, France and India, is a diversified multinational corporation with highly automated, purpose-built facilities for the design and manufacture of pressure equipment serving the cryogenic and energy & petrochemical end markets. VRV’s results are included in our E&C Cryogenics and D&S East segments from the date of the Acquisition.

As defined in our significant accounting policy for business combinations in Note 2, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, we preliminarily allocated the Acquisition consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the Acquisition date. The preliminary fair value of the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets were determined based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. It is also based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the Acquisition. As such, this was classified as Level 3 fair value hierarchy measurements and disclosures.

During the third quarter of 2019, we prepared a preliminary fair value analyses of acquired assets and liabilities as well as certain other analyses. The Acquisition consideration allocation below has been updated based on this valuation but remains preliminary. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation and make the necessary adjustments during the fourth quarter of 2019. Any such revisions or changes may be material. Those areas that are subject to change, include the following:

• finalizing the inventory valuation and certain other working capital accounts,

• certain assumptions regarding the customer relationship intangible asset valuation,

• finalizing the PP&E valuation and the respective useful lives for certain asset categories, and

• finalizing the evaluation of the income tax accounting considerations, including income tax effects of the above matters.

The preliminary estimated useful lives of identifiable finite-lived intangible assets range from 2 to 12 years. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is assigned to goodwill. The preliminary estimated goodwill was established due to benefits including the combination of strong engineering and manufacturing cultures which will continue to further develop full service solutions for our worldwide customer base, as well as the benefits derived from the anticipated synergies of VRV integrating with Chart’s E&C Cryogenics and D&S East segments. Goodwill recorded for the VRV acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the VRV acquisition as of the acquisition date:

	September 30, 2019			Adjustments			As Previously Reported December 31, 2018
Net assets acquired:
Identifiable intangible assets	$	41.2		$	(25.4	)	$	66.6
Property, plant and equipment	67.5			(3.0		)	70.5
Goodwill	106.4			43.2			63.2
Other net assets	7.3			(10.6		)	17.9
Debt	(4.9		)	—			(4.9		)
Net assets acquired	$	217.5		$	4.2		$	213.3

During the nine month period ending September 30, 2019, net assets acquired included adjustments to other net assets and goodwill based on U.S. GAAP purchase accounting primarily due to inventory valuation and balance sheet accounts related to revenue recognition. Net assets acquired, including goodwill, was also adjusted to reflect the net working capital and other agreed-upon purchase price adjustments of $4.2 negotiated during the nine month period ending September 30, 2019.

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma sales are based on our historical consolidated financial statements and VRV’s historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the November 15, 2018 acquisition of VRV. The unaudited supplemental pro forma sales information for the periods presented gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018. The unaudited supplemental pro forma sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 for the Company including VRV would have been approximately $297.1 and $878.2. It is impracticable to disclose the pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share information because of significant differences between Chart accounting policies following U.S. GAAP and those followed by VRV.

The unaudited pro forma sales information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the Acquisition been in effect at the beginning of the period presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma sales results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any operating efficiencies or cost savings that might be achievable.

Skaff Acquisition

On January 2, 2018, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Skaff Cryogenics and Cryo-Lease, LLC (together “Skaff”) for an approximate purchase price of $12.5, net of cash acquired. Skaff provides quality repair service and re-manufacturing of cryogenic and liquefied natural gas storage tanks and trailers and also maintains a portfolio of cryogenic storage equipment that is leased to customers for temporary and permanent needs. Skaff is headquartered in Brentwood, New Hampshire and provides services and equipment to customers in North America. Skaff’s results are included in the D&S West operating segment. During the first quarter of 2019, the Skaff purchase price allocation was finalized, which resulted in an adjustment to the opening balance sheet increasing long-term deferred tax liabilities and goodwill each by $0.8.

Additional information related to the Skaff acquisition has not been presented because the impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position is not material.

Contingent Consideration

The estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to the 2015 Thermax acquisition of our D&S West segment, was $1.8 at the date of acquisition and was valued according to a discounted cash flow approach, which included assumptions regarding the probability of achieving certain earnings targets and a discount rate applied to the potential payments. Potential payments were due to be paid before July 1, 2019 based on the attainment of certain earnings targets. The earnings targets for Thermax were below the minimum threshold so no contingent consideration was paid for the final year of the four year earn-out period.

NOTE 11 — Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Public Stock Offering    

On June 14, 2019, we completed a public offering (the “2019 Equity Offering”), through which Chart issued and sold 4.025 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price of $73.50 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. We received proceeds of $295.8

NOTE 13 — Income Taxes

Income tax expense from continuing operations of $9.3 and $9.7 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, represents taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at a combined effective income tax rate of 21.3% and 20.6%, respectively. Income tax expense from continuing operations of $6.4 and $4.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, represents taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at a combined effective income tax rate of 25.5% and 16.0%, respectively.

The effective income tax rate of 25.5% and 21.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to excess tax benefits associated with stock compensation and the effect of

29

CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – September 30, 2019

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts) – Continued

income earned by certain of our foreign entities being taxed at higher rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate, partially offset by losses incurred by certain of our Chinese operations for which no benefit was recorded. We expect our 2019 full year effective income tax rate to be approximately 21%.

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations of 16.0% and 20.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of income earned by certain of the Company’s foreign entities being taxed at higher rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate as well as losses incurred by certain of our Chinese operations for which no benefit was recorded.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had a liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits from continuing operations of $2.1 and $2.3, respectively. This amount includes $1.6 and $0.1 of unrecognized tax benefits from continuing operations as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which, if ultimately recognized, would reduce our annual effective income tax rate. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. These amounts were not significant for the periods presented.

NOTE 14 — Share-based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we granted 0.13 stock options and 0.09 restricted stock units, and 0.03 performance units. The total fair value of awards granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $12.3. In addition, our non-employee directors received stock awards with a total fair value of $0.5. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, participants in our stock option plans exercised options to purchase 0.29 shares of our common stock, while 0.03 stock options were forfeited.

Stock options generally have a four-year graded vesting period. Restricted stock and restricted stock units generally vest ratably over a three-year period. Performance units generally vest at the end of a three-year performance period based on the attainment of certain pre-determined performance condition targets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 0.12 restricted stock units and 0.02 performance units vested while 0.02 restricted stock units were forfeited.

Share-based compensation expense was $2.1 and $0.5 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation expense was $6.4 and $3.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a $0.9 credit due to forfeitures related to headcount reductions associated with the strategic realignment of our segment structure in 2018. Furthermore, share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a $1.8 credit due to forfeitures related to the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) on June 11, 2018. Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2019, total share-based compensation of $12.1 is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years.

NOTE 15 — Commitments and Contingencies

Aluminum Cryobiological Tank Recall

In April 2018, we received several customer inquiries regarding the performance of certain aluminum cryobiological tanks (in the D&S West segment) manufactured at our New Prague, Minnesota facility. An investigation determined that certain aluminum tanks manufactured at the facility during a limited certain period should be repaired or replaced.  As such, on April 23, 2018, we issued a recall notice for the impacted product lines.  Our D&S West segment recorded an expense of $3.8 to cost of sales for the during the second quarter of 2018 related to the estimated costs of the recall. As of September 30, 2019, there was no remaining liability related to the tank recall.  

Stainless Steel Cryobiological Tank Legal Proceedings

During the second quarter of 2018, Chart was named in lawsuits (including a class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California) filed against Chart and other defendants with respect to the alleged failure of a stainless steel cryobiological storage tank (model MVE 808AF-GB) at the Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco, California.  We continue to evaluate the merits of such claims in light of the limited information available to date regarding use, maintenance and operation of the tank which has been out of our custody for the past six years when it was sold to the Pacific Fertility Center through an independent distributor.  Accordingly, an accrual related to any damages that may result from the lawsuits has not been recorded because a potential loss is not currently probable or estimable.

CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – September 30, 2019

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts) – Continued

We have asserted various defenses against the claims in the lawsuits, including a defense that since manufacture, we were not in any way involved with the installation, ongoing maintenance or monitoring of the tank or related fertility center cryogenic systems at any time since the initial delivery of the tank.

Aluminum Cryobiological Tank Legal Proceeding

Chart has been named in purported class action lawsuits filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company and other defendants with respect to the alleged failure of an aluminum cryobiological storage tank (model FNL XC 47/11-6 W/11) at The Toronto Institute for Reproductive Medicine in Etobicoke, Ontario.  We have confirmed that the tank in question was part of the aluminum cryobiological tank recall commenced on April 23, 2018. We have asserted various defenses against the claims in the lawsuits and are in the early stages of litigation. Accordingly, an accrual related to any damages that may result from the lawsuit has not been recorded because a potential loss is not currently probable or estimable.

NOTE 16 — Restructuring Activities

During the first nine months of 2019, we implemented certain cost reduction or avoidance actions, including facility consolidations in E&C Cryogenics, D&S West and E&C FinFans and a streamlining of the commercial activities surrounding our Lifecycle business in E&C Cryogenics, geographic realignment of our manufacturing capacity and a facility closure in D&S East, as well as departmental restructuring, including headcount reductions in each of these segments. These actions resulted in total restructuring costs of $1.5 and $13.3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, consisting of employee severance costs, disposals of property, plant and equipment and other costs. Restructuring costs for the first nine months of 2019 reflect a $1.6 credit to E&C Cryogenics restructuring costs recorded in the second quarter of 2019 due to the successful negotiation of a lease termination for the Lifecycle facility. We expect these restructuring activities will be substantially completed by the end of the year.

During the first nine months of 2018, we implemented certain cost reduction or avoidance actions, primarily related to departmental restructuring, including headcount reductions resulting in associated severance costs. We also executed a strategic realignment of our segment structure, which resulted in severance charges during the third quarter of 2018.

The following table is a summary of the severance and other restructuring costs, which included employee-related costs, facility rent and exit costs, relocation, recruiting, travel and other, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Chart Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Chart,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a leading independent global manufacturer of highly engineered equipment servicing multiple market applications in Energy and Industrial Gas. Our unique product portfolio is used throughout the liquid gas supply chain in the production, storage, distribution and end-use of atmospheric, hydrocarbon, and industrial gases. Chart has domestic operations located across the United States and an international presence in Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas.

On July 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Harsco Corporation’s Air-X-Changers business (“AXC”) pursuant to the previously disclosed Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May 8, 2019 (the “AXC acquisition”). AXC is a leading supplier of custom-engineered and manufactured air cooled heat exchangers (“ACHX”) for the natural gas compression and processing industry and refining and petrochemical industry in the United States. The ACHX offered by AXC is used in conditioning natural gas during recovery, compression and transportation from underground reserves through major pipeline distribution channels. In addition to natural gas compression and processing, AXC’s products are also used in the turbine lube oil cooling, landfill gas compression and liquids cooling industries. AXC’s end markets include process industries, power generation and refineries. The acquisition of AXC reinforces our strategic focus on core cryogenic engineering and products for the industrial gas and energy spaces. We expect the acquisition of AXC to result in significant annual cost synergies. During our first quarter of ownership, we have achieved over $12 million of cost synergies. Furthermore, we have identified another $9 million of target cost synergies, which will be achieved in addition to the $20 million originally anticipated to be achieved in the first year.

The purchase price for AXC was approximately $599.7 million, including post-closing purchase price adjustments with respect to working capital. We paid $592.0 million of the purchase price at closing and the final working capital adjustment of $7.7 million was paid during the third quarter of 2019. We incurred $4.2 million and $1.2 million in transaction related costs during the third quarter of 2019 and second quarter of 2019, respectively, related to the AXC acquisition which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of income. We funded the purchase price for the AXC acquisition with proceeds from the Chart common stock public offering (the “2019 Equity Offering”) and borrowings under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which includes a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “SSRCF”) and a term loan (together, the “2019 Credit Facilities”) as further discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

On November 15, 2018, we completed the acquisition of VRV S.r.l. and its subsidiaries (collectively “VRV”). Additionally, on December 20, 2018, we closed on the sale of all of the equity interests in our oxygen-related products business to NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD. (the “Divestiture”). As a result of the Divestiture, the asset group, which included our respiratory and on-site generation systems businesses, qualified for discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The financial information presented and discussion of results that follows is presented on a continuing operations basis.

Third Quarter 2019 Highlights

Third quarter 2019 orders of $286.2 million decreased sequentially 11.1% over the second quarter of 2019, and increased 8.5% compared to the third quarter of 2018 (decreased 9.3% organically). The sequential decrease in orders was primarily driven by the delay of orders within our Energy & Chemicals Cryogenics (“E&C Cryogenics”) and Energy & Chemicals FinFans (“E&C FinFans”) segments that were pushed to future periods. The year-over-year increase of 8.5% is primarily due to $23.3 million of VRV orders and $23.6 million of AXC orders in the third quarter of 2019. Ending backlog as of September 30, 2019 was a record $755.6 million compared to $501.5 million as of September 30, 2018.

Third quarter 2019 sales of $357.8 million increased 31.4% from the third quarter of 2018 (decreased 0.1% organically), driven by sales of $60.1 million and $25.9 million from AXC and VRV, respectively. Third quarter 2019 sales also increased 15.6% from the second quarter of 2019. The increase was largely due to $60.1 million in sales from AXC, which was acquired in July 2019.

Third quarter 2019 gross margin as a percent of sales of 28.3% decreased from 30.2% in the third quarter of 2018 and increased from 26.7% in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by fewer high margin short lead-time replacement equipment sales as compared to the third quarter of 2018 within our E&C Cryogenics segment and unfavorable product mix within our Distribution and Storage Western Hemisphere (“D&S West”) segment, partially offset by favorable product mix within our E&C FinFans segment. Excluding the impact of AXC, the sequential increase was mainly driven by second quarter 2019 restructuring costs relative to the closing of a facility in China in our Distribution and Storage Eastern Hemisphere (“D&S East”) segment that did not reoccur in the third quarter of 2019.

Outlook

Our 2019 full year outlook reflects organic year-to-date order growth in our segments and the positive contributions from the 2018 acquisitions of VRV and Skaff Cryogenics and Cryo-Lease (together “Skaff”) as well as the July 1, 2019 acquisition of AXC.  We continue to anticipate additional liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) export facility orders in 2020. A majority of upcoming projects for U.S. LNG export have transitioned from utilizing traditional single train baseload plants to multi-train mid-scale projects, with a modular approach to achieve baseload capacities. This is important to us because multi-train mid-scale projects may use Chart’s patented IPSMR® and IPSMR®+ technology as well as our brazed aluminum heat exchangers and cold boxes as the main liquefaction heat exchanger technology. Within the third quarter, we received formal notice to proceed for Venture Global’s 10 MTPA Calcasieu Pass LNG export terminal project with a Commercial Operations Date expected in 2022. Chart will deliver the equipment on a multi-year schedule in conjunction with BHGE and Kiewit.

Not only are we seeing demand for big LNG, but also for the global LNG infrastructure build out. This is a unique opportunity for us as our Distribution and Storage and Energy and Chemicals products serve various global applications ranging from small and utility-scale LNG facilities to fueling stations to regasification plants. This buildout is occurring quickly with LNG importation occurring in 42 countries around the world including India where Chart has signed memorandums of understanding in 2019 with AG&P and IOCL to develop the emerging markets LNG infrastructure. Small scale LNG demand is also growing domestically. We made a strategic investment in Stabilis Energy, Inc. who built a 100,000 LNG gallon per day liquefier in Texas, with the intended purpose to service multiple end markets, including energy, industrial, mining, and Mexican exports. Chart supplied the liquefaction train, storage, gas pre-treatment, and truck loading facilities, which contributed to the record production levels of the plant.

We continue to invest in our automation, process improvement, and productivity activities across the Company, with total anticipated 2019 capital investment of $35.0 million to $40.0 million. The total anticipated 2019 capital spend is inclusive of anticipated capital spending at VRV, investment in the LNG fuel systems production line in Europe and automation projects in our New Prague, Minnesota facility.

⁽²⁾  Includes $0.8 related to AXC integration activities (E&C FinFans: $0.7, Corporate: $0.1), and $0.6 (D&S East: $0.2, Corporate: $0.4) related to VRV integration activities for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

⁽³⁾  Includes transaction-related costs of $4.3 million, $2.0 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, September 30, 2018, and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and June 30, 2019

Sales for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018 increased $85.6 million, from $272.2 million to $357.8 million, or 31.4% (decreased 0.1% organically), driven by sales of $60.1 million and $25.9 million from AXC and VRV, respectively. Sales for VRV, included in both the E&C Cryogenics and D&S East segment results since the November 15, 2018 acquisition date were $25.9 million (E&C Cryogenics: $13.5 million, D&S East: $12.4 million). AXC sales of $60.1 million are included in the E&C FinFans segment results since the July 1, 2019 acquisition date. Excluding the impact of VRV and AXC, the slight decrease in sales was primarily driven by a decline in LNG vehicle tank sales in our D&S West segment. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in axial flow fans revenues in the E&C FinFans segment. Sequentially, sales increased 15.6% mainly due to AXC sales of $60.1 million in the third quarter of 2019. Excluding AXC, sales decreased by 3.8% primarily in the D&S West and D&S East segments with a slight increase in E&C Cryogenics sales. The China market is experiencing a slowdown as tariffs and economic uncertainty have reduced investments. LNG and bulk tank sales in Asia have also declined.

Gross profit increased during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018 by $18.9 million or 23.0% (decreased 3.9% organically), driven by gross profit of $17.7 million and $4.4 million from AXC and VRV, respectively. Excluding AXC and VRV, gross profit decreased by $3.2 million primarily due to lower volume within our D&S West segment, and the related margin decreased from 30.2% in the third quarter of 2018 to 29.1% in the third quarter of 2019, which was primarily driven by fewer high margin short lead-time replacement equipment sales as compared to the third quarter of 2018 within our E&C Cryogenics segment and unfavorable product mix within our D&S West segment, partially offset by favorable product mix within our E&C FinFans segment. Sequentially over the second quarter of 2019, gross profit increased by $18.4 million, or 22.2% (0.8% organically), driven by AXC gross profit of $17.7 million. Excluding the impact of AXC, gross profit increased by $0.7 million while the related margin increased from 26.7% in the second quarter of 2019 to 28.0% in the third quarter of 2019 mainly driven by second quarter 2019 restructuring costs relative to the closing of a facility in China in our D&S East segment that did not reoccur in the third quarter of 2019.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $11.7 million ($3.3 million organically), or 25.5% (7.2% organically), during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. This increase was largely driven by SG&A expenses associated with the acquisitions of VRV and AXC. SG&A expenses of $57.5 million for the third quarter of 2019 includes restructuring costs of $0.5 million and transaction-related costs, integration costs and other one-time costs of $7.3 million as well as commercial and legal settlement costs of $1.3 million. SG&A expenses of $45.8 million for the third quarter of 2018 includes restructuring costs of $2.0 million and transaction-related costs of $2.0 million. Excluding these costs, SG&A was $48.4 million or 13.5% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $41.8 million or 15.4% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018, which is an improvement of 190 basis points and reflects lower required SG&A through our integration activities. SG&A expenses increased $7.3 million or 14.5% in the third quarter of 2019 from the second quarter of 2019. Excluding the impact of transaction related costs of $4.3 million related to AXC and $1.8 million related to VRV for the third quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2019, respectively, and restructuring charges of $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2019 and second quarter of 2019, respectively, SG&A expenses decreased by $5.4 million or 10.8% during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2019.

During third quarter 2019, we implemented certain cost reduction or avoidance actions, including facility closures and relocations in both our E&C FinFans and D&S West segments. These actions resulted in restructuring costs of $1.5 million, primarily for severance in the third quarter of 2019, which were recorded in cost of sales ($1.0 million) and SG&A ($0.5 million). We anticipate these restructuring actions will result in incremental annualized savings of $5.5 million and an anticipated positive impact of $1.3 million on 2019 results. Restructuring costs were $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 and were recorded in SG&A expenses. These restructuring costs were related to our strategic realignment of our segment structure, including headcount reductions resulting in associated severance costs.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $7.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included $0.6 million of 1.0% cash interest and $2.0 million of non-cash interest accretion expense related to the carrying value of the convertible notes due 2024, and $5.6 million in interest related to borrowings on the 2019 Credit Facilities.

36

Other (Income), Net

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 other income was $3.0 million as compared to $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase of $3.0 million in income was primarily driven by an unrealized gain on our investment in equity securities of $2.6 million.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense of $6.4 million and $4.2 million for three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and represents taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at a combined effective income tax rate of 25.5% and 16.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rate of 25.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to income taxes on certain foreign entities earnings being taxed at higher rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate and certain Chinese operations losses for which no benefit was recorded, partially offset by tax benefits associated with share-based compensation.

The effective income tax rate of 16.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of income earned by certain of the Company’s foreign entities being taxed at higher rates than the federal statutory rate as well as losses incurred by certain of our Chinese operations for which no benefit was recorded.

Net Income from Continuing Operations

As a result of the foregoing, net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $18.7 million and $21.5 million, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

The results from our oxygen-related products business formerly reported in our BioMedical segment are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for the prior period presented. For further information, refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operations.”

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 increased $162.5 million, from $794.2 million to $956.7 million, or 20.5% (3.2% organically), with increases across all segments. Sales for VRV, included in both the E&C Cryogenics and D&S East segment results since the November 15, 2018 acquisition date were $77.0 million (E&C Cryogenics: $35.0 million, D&S East: $42.0 million). AXC sales of $60.1 million are included in the E&C FinFans segment results since the July 1, 2019 acquisition date. Excluding the impact of VRV and AXC, sales growth was primarily driven by axial flow fans revenues in our E&C FinFans segment and an increase in sales within our D&S West segment related to systems and cryobiological storage products which was partially offset by a decline in packaged gas.

Gross profit increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 by $29.1 million or 13.1% (1.4% organically), driven by gross profit of $17.7 million and $8.2 million from AXC and VRV, respectively. Excluding AXC and VRV, gross profit increased by $3.2 million. Gross profit included restructuring costs of $10.5 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which during the first nine months of the year were related to cost reduction or avoidance actions, including facility consolidations in E&C Cryogenics, D&S West and E&C FinFans and a streamlining of the commercial activities surrounding our aftermarket services business in E&C Cryogenics, geographic realignment of our manufacturing capacity and a facility closure in D&S East, as well as departmental restructuring, including headcount reductions in each of these segments. We anticipate these restructuring actions will result in incremental annualized savings of $13.0 million and an anticipated positive impact of $5.4 million on 2019 results. Excluding the impact of the AXC and VRV acquisitions and restructuring costs, gross profit increased by $13.0 million, or 5.5%, primarily driven by higher volume of axial flow fans sales within our E&C FinFans segment. Gross margin as a percent of sales of 26.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased from 28.0% in the same period in 2018. Excluding the impact of the AXC and VRV acquisitions and restructuring costs, gross margin as a percent of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of 28.8% increased from 27.9% in the same period in 2018.

SG&A expenses increased by $22.5 million ($5.4 million organically), or 16.0% (3.8% organically), during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, driven by SG&A expenses of $5.2 million and $11.9 million from AXC and VRV, respectively. Furthermore, transaction-related costs related to the acquisitions of AXC and VRV were $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding the impact of transaction-related costs, SG&A expenses was 16.6% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 16.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $18.5 million and $17.9 million, respectively. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $1.9 million of 1.0% cash interest and $5.7 million of non-cash interest accretion expense related to the carrying value of the convertible notes due 2024, and $11.4 million in interest related to borrowings on our previous and current senior secured revolving credit facility and term loan.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 other income was $2.3 million as compared to an other loss of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change in other (income) expense, net was primarily driven by an unrealized gain on our investment in equity securities of $2.6 million.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense of $9.3 million and $9.7 million for nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and represents taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at a combined effective income tax rate of 21.3% and 20.6%, respectively. The effective income tax rate of 21.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits associated with share-based compensation and income taxes on certain foreign entities earnings being taxed at higher rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate, partially offset by certain Chinese operations losses for which no benefit was recorded.

The effective income tax rate of 20.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of income earned by certain of the Company’s foreign entities being taxed at higher rates than the federal statutory rate as well as losses incurred by certain of our Chinese operations for which no benefit was recorded.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Debt Instruments and Related Covenants

Our debt instruments and related covenants are described in Note 8, “Debt and Credit Arrangements” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Sources and Use of Cash

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $80.7 million at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $37.4 million from the balance at December 31, 2018. Our foreign subsidiaries held cash of approximately $55.6 million and $71.4 million, at September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively, to meet their liquidity needs. No material restrictions exist to accessing cash held by our foreign subsidiaries. We expect to meet our U.S. funding needs without repatriating non-U.S. cash and incurring incremental U.S. taxes. Cash equivalents are primarily invested in money market funds that invest in high quality, short-term instruments, such as U.S. government obligations, certificates of deposit, repurchase obligations, and commercial paper issued by corporations that have been highly rated by at least one nationally recognized rating organization, and in the case of cash equivalents in China, obligations of local banks. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, funds available under our senior secured revolving credit facility due November 2024 (“SSRCF”) or other financing alternatives, and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet our normal working capital needs, and investments in properties, facilities, and equipment for the foreseeable future.

Cash provided by operating activities was $55.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $8.3 million from the balance at September 30, 2018 primarily due to a decrease in operating cash provided by working capital. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the timing of collections on accounts receivable and payments on amounts due.

44

Cash used in investing activities was $633.4 million and $38.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we used approximately $600 million for the acquisition of AXC with proceeds from a common stock offering and borrowings under our SSRCF and term loan due November 2024, and we paid $26.7 million for capital expenditures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we paid $12.5 million for the Skaff acquisition and $26.4 million for capital expenditures.

Cash provided by financing activities was $547.2 million and $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we borrowed $450.0 under the term loan and received proceeds of $295.8 million from the 2019 Equity Offering to fund the AXC acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we borrowed $202.6 million on our SSRCF to fund working capital needs and to fund a portion of the AXC acquisition and repaid $384.2 million in SSRCF borrowings. We received $9.4 million in proceeds from stock option exercises and used $2.8 million for the purchase of common stock which was surrendered to cover tax withholding elections during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we borrowed $182.0 million on our previous senior secured revolving credit facility mainly to fund the settlement of convertible notes due August 2018, working capital needs and the Skaff acquisition. We repaid $122.5 million in previous senior secured revolving credit facility borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We also borrowed 40.0 million Chinese yuan (equivalent to $6.3 million) and repaid 5.0 million Chinese yuan (equivalent to $0.8 million) on certain of our foreign facilities. We repaid 20.0 million Chinese yuan (equivalent to $3.0 million) on a term loan associated with our foreign facilities. We received $5.4 million in proceeds from stock option exercises and used $2.4 million for the purchase of common stock which was surrendered to cover tax withholding elections during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Cash Requirements

We do not currently anticipate any unusual cash requirements for working capital needs for the year ending December 31, 2019. During the first half of October 2019, we experienced strong cash collections within our D&S West segment, and expect this trend to drive positive operating cash flows for the fourth quarter of 2019. Management anticipates we will be able to satisfy cash requirements for our ongoing business for the foreseeable future with cash generated by operations, existing cash balances and available borrowings under our credit facilities. Our convertible notes due 2024 currently do not meet the requirements for early conversion.  Capital expenditures for the remaining three months of 2019 is expected to be in the range of $10.0 million to $15.0 million.

Orders and Backlog

We consider orders to be those for which we have received a firm signed purchase order or other written contractual commitment from the customer. Backlog is comprised of the portion of firm signed purchase orders or other written contractual commitments from customers for which work has not been performed, or is partially completed, that we have not recognized as revenue and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders. Our backlog as of September 30, 2019 was $755.6 million compared to $501.5 million as of September 30, 2018 and $752.8 million as of June 30, 2019.

E&C Cryogenics segment backlog as of September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019 includes $43.4 million and $46.2 million related to VRV, respectively. Excluding VRV, the increase in backlog as compared to the balance as of September 30, 2018 was primarily driven by petrochemical and natural gas processing applications and Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export terminal project. Included in E&C Cryogenics segment backlog for all periods presented is approximately $40.0 million related to the previously announced Magnolia LNG order where production release is delayed until early 2020.

E&C FinFans segment orders for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $63.0 million compared to $61.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $77.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. E&C FinFans segment orders included $23.6 million in orders related to AXC for the three months ended September 30, 2019. E&C FinFans segment backlog totaled $136.4 million as of September 30, 2019, compared to $131.1 million as of September 30, 2018 and $117.4 million as of June 30, 2019. E&C FinFans backlog as of September 30, 2019 includes $47.7 million related to AXC.

D&S West segment orders for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $111.6 million compared to $103.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and $115.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was driven by an increase in systems hydrogen and LNG vehicle tank sales, which was partially offset by a decrease in standard tank sales. D&S West segment backlog totaled $127.1 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $130.7 million as of September 30, 2018 and $130.1 million as of June 30, 2019.

D&S East segment orders for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $76.5 million compared to $75.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $78.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. D&S East segment orders include $12.5 million and $12.4 million in orders related to VRV for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The slight decrease from the second quarter of 2019 in D&S East segment orders was mainly attributable to lower orders in trailers, mobile tanks and packaged gas in Europe partially offset by an increase in orders relative to LNG, bulk tanks and packaged gas in Asia. Excluding the impact of VRV, D&S orders during the third quarter of 2019 were lower as compared to the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to fewer orders for bulk tanks in Asia and trailers in Europe relative to a particularly strong third quarter of 2018. D&S East segment backlog at September 30, 2019 totaled $203.8 million compared to $144.8 million as of September 30, 2018 and $203.4 million as of June 30, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. A summary of those significant accounting policies can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In particular, judgment is used in areas such as revenue from contracts with customers, goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, long-lived assets (including finite-lived intangible assets), product warranty costs, and pensions. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2018.

Forward-Looking Statements

We are making this statement in order to satisfy the “safe harbor” provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements include statements relating to our business, including statements regarding revenues, cost synergies, accretion and earnings related to recently completed acquisitions, including the recent acquisition of AXC. In some cases, Forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “continue,” “target,” or the negative of such terms or comparable terminology.

Forward-looking statements contained herein (including future cash contractual obligations, liquidity, cash flow, orders, results of operations, projected revenues, margins, capital expenditures, industry and business trends, cost synergies and savings objectives and government initiatives, among other matters) or in other statements made by us are made based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. These include: those found in the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and the factors discussed in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which should be reviewed carefully; Chart’s ability to successfully integrate recent acquisitions, and achieve the anticipated revenue, earnings, accretion and other benefits from these acquisitions; estimated segment revenues, future revenue, earnings, cash flows and margin targets and run rates. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and there may also be other risks that we are unable to predict at this time.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as the same may be updated from time to time. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the filing date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as otherwise required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency values that can affect the cost of operating and financing. Accordingly, we address a portion of these risks through a program of risk management.

Interest Rate Risk: Our primary interest rate risk exposure results from the SSRCF’s various floating rate pricing mechanisms. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points (2 percent) from the weighted-average interest rate of 3.90% at September 30, 2019, and assuming no changes in the $149.8 million of borrowings outstanding under the SSRCF at September 30, 2019, our additional annual expense would be approximately $9.0 million on a pre-tax basis. For future quarters, the interest rate will increase somewhat as a result of our $450.0 million in borrowings under a new term loan on July 1, 2019 in connection with the closing of the AXC acquisition.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk: We operate in the United States and other foreign countries, which creates exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the normal course of business, which can impact our financial position, results of operations, cash flow, and competitive position. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into their U.S. dollar equivalents at end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities, while income and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are components of other comprehensive income as reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Translation exposure is primarily with the euro, the Czech koruna, the Chinese yuan, Indian rupee and the Japanese yen. During the third quarter of 2019, the U.S. dollar strengthened in relation to the Czech koruna, the euro and the Chinese yuan by 6%, 5% and 3%, respectively. At September 30, 2019, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar would not materially affect our financial statements.

47

Chart’s primary transaction exchange rate exposures are with the euro, the Japanese yen, the Czech koruna, the Australian dollar, the British pound, the Indian rupee, and the Chinese yuan. Transaction gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as a component of foreign currency (gain) loss. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge anticipated and firmly committed foreign currency transactions. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The terms of the contracts are generally one year or less. At September 30, 2019, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar would not materially affect our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts.

Market Price Sensitive Instruments

In connection with the pricing of the 2024 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the “Note Hedge Transactions”) with certain parties, including affiliates of the initial purchasers of the 2024 Notes (the “Option Counterparties”). These Note Hedge Transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution upon any future conversion of the 2024 Notes.

We also entered into separate, privately-negotiated warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties to acquire up to 4.41 million shares of our common stock. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants unless we elect, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. The strike price of the warrant transactions related to the 2024 Notes was initially $71.775 per share. Further information is located in Note 8, “Debt and Credit Arrangements” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We perform an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, such officers concluded that as of September 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As disclosed in Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies”, Chart was named in lawsuits (including purported class action lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California) filed against Chart and other defendants with respect to the alleged failure of a stainless steel cryobiological storage tank (model MVE 808AF-GB) at the Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco, California, and Chart has also been named in purported class action lawsuits filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Chart and other defendants with respect to the alleged failure of an aluminum cryobiological storage tank (model FNL XC 47/11-6 W/11) at The Toronto Institute for Reproductive Medicine in Etobicoke, Ontario.  We hereby incorporate by reference into this Item 1 the disclosure under the headings “Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies – Stainless Steel Cryobiological Tank Legal Proceedings” and “Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies – Aluminum Cryobiological Tank Legal Proceedings”. 

Although we have not completed our factual investigations into these proceedings, which remain in their early stages, we believe that we have strong factual and legal defenses to the claims and intend to vigorously assert such defenses.
