ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

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

2. Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2020 (the “2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The results are not necessarily indicative of future results.  The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure.

3. Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires the use of the current expected credit loss impairment model to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an asset, that considers information about past events, current conditions and a forecast of future economic conditions. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company has updated its significant accounting policy related to trade account receivables and allowances for credit losses as of March 31, 2020 from what was previously disclosed in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 as follows:

All trade account receivables are reported net of allowances for credit losses. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our trade account receivables over the life of the underlying assets. Assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled together for determination of their current expected credit losses. We regularly perform detailed reviews of our pooled assets to evaluate the collectability of receivables based on a combination of past, current, and future financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). This ASU provides relief from certain accounting consequences that could result from the global markets’ anticipated transition away from the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The relief provided by this ASU is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The optional amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this standard to the Company.

4. Revenue Recognition

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

As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment from the Company’s manufacturing site or delivery to the customer’s named location. In determining whether control has transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer. In certain circumstances, the Company manufactures customized product without alternative use for its customers, which would generally result in the transfer of control over time.  The Company has evaluated the amount of revenue subject to recognition over time and concluded that it is immaterial.

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

	Quarter Ended
	March 31, 2020			March 31, 2019
Net Sales:
Power Transmission Technologies	$	216.7		$	234.9
Automation & Specialty		218.6			249.1
Inter-segment eliminations		(1.1	)		(1.2	)
Net sales	$	434.2		$	482.8

Net sales by geographic region based on point of shipment origin are as follows:

	Net Sales
	Quarter Ended
	March 31, 2020		March 31, 2019
North America (primarily U.S.)	$	245.3	$	273.0
Europe excluding Germany		74.8		81.7
Germany		52.5		62.2
Asia and other		61.6		65.9
Total	$	434.2	$	482.8

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

ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.

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

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liability and accounts receivable as of the year to date period ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:

	Deferred Revenue (Current)		Accounts Receivable
Beginning - January 1, 2020	$	8.4	$	243.2
Closing - March 31, 2020		11.1		242.9
Increase/(Decrease)	$	2.7	$	(0.3	)

	Deferred Revenue (Current)		Accounts Receivable
Beginning - January 1, 2019	$	7.4	$	259.8
Closing - March 31, 2019		7.8		281.8
Increase/(Decrease)	$	0.4	$	22.0

The revenue recognized during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period amounted to $2.2 million, and $2.1 million, respectively.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps), the Company uses standard models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows and the ability of the Company or the financial counterparty to perform. For interest rate and cross currency swaps, the significant inputs to these models are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and are adjusted for credit risk. For forward foreign currency contracts, the significant inputs are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and exchange rate curves of the foreign currency for translating future cash flows. See additional discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments including cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps included in Note 15.

The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Debt under the Altra Credit Agreement (as defined herein) is comprised of the Altra Term Loan Facility and the Altra Revolving Credit Facility (both as defined herein). The carrying amount of the Altra Term Loan Facility was $1,184.0 million and the estimated fair value of the Altra Term Loan Facility was $1,002.0 million at March 31, 2020. Debt under the Altra Credit Facility of $100.0 million approximates the fair value due to the variable interest rate. Further, the Altra Credit Agreement was negotiated in October 2018 and there have not been any significant changes in our credit rating. The carrying amount of the Notes (as defined herein) was $400 million and the estimated fair value of the Notes was $394.5 million at March 31, 2020.

9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company conducts an annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in October of each year, unless events occur which trigger the need for an interim impairment review.  The 2019 annual goodwill impairment review indicated that the JVS reporting unit’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%. All other reporting units had fair values that exceeded their carrying value by 10% or more.

The Company considered the recent economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to be a triggering event for the JVS business unit and, as a result, the Company performed an interim impairment review. As a result of both the COVID-19 related economic downturn and its impact on JVS’s anticipated financial results, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the JVS reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and performed an interim impairment review for both JVS’s goodwill and tradename intangible asset. As a result of the interim impairment testing performed, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $8.4 million and $139.1 million for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, respectively.  

The Company estimated the fair value of the JVS reporting unit using both the discounted cash flow model and the market approach. The Company estimated the value of JVS’s indefinite-lived tradename intangible asset using a discounted cash flow model.  The determination of the fair value using the discounted cash flow model requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues, profit margins, and discount rates. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. The Company estimates future cash flows based upon historical results and current market projections, discounted at a market comparable rate.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the interim quantitative analysis included the following:

• Near-term revenue declines in 2020;

• Adjusted profit margins over the projection period, due to revenue adjustments and maintained investment in the business; and

• Market-based discount rates.

• Reduced EBITDA multiple, due to current market conditions.

Depending on its duration and the severity of its economic impact, the COVID-19 pandemic may trigger additional interim impairment reviews in future periods.

Changes in goodwill from January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2020 were as follows:

2018 Credit Agreement and Notes

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

12

ALTRA INDUSTRIAL MOTION CORP.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted

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

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

Borrowings under the Altra Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a “Eurocurrency Rate” plus 2.00%, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate borrowings, or equal to a “Base Rate” plus 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate borrowings. Borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility will initially bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Eurocurrency Rate plus 2.00%, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate borrowings, or equal to a Base Rate plus 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate borrowings, and thereafter will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate, as applicable, plus an interest rate spread determined by reference to a pricing grid based on the Company’s senior secured net leverage ratio. In addition, the Company will be required to pay fees that will fluctuate between 0.250% per annum to 0.375% per annum on the unused amount of the Altra Revolving Credit Facility, based upon the Company’s senior secured net leverage ratio. The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 3.603% at March 31, 2020.

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

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

The Company provided notice to the administrative agent of the Altra Credit Agreement on March 9, 2020 and March 16, 2020 to draw down $50 million, and $50 million, respectively, with interest rates of 2.811% and 2.750%, respectively, under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility.  As of quarter end March 31, 2020, a total of $100 million was outstanding under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility are scheduled to mature on September 30, 2023, and the Company may repay amounts borrowed any time without penalty. The Company increased its borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary action in order to increase its cash position and enhance its financial flexibility during this period of uncertainty in the global markets resulting from COVID-19. The draw-down proceeds from the Altra Revolving Credit Facility are currently being held on the Company’s balance sheet in cash and cash equivalents and may be used for general corporate purposes.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $1,284.0 million outstanding on the Altra Credit Agreement.  As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $4.7 million and $4.4 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. The Company had $195.3 million available to borrow under the Altra Credit Facilities at March 31, 2020.

Mortgages and Other Agreements

The Company’s subsidiaries in Europe have entered into certain long-term fixed rate term loans that are generally secured by local property, plant and equipment. The debt has interest rates that range from 1.79% to 2.5%, with various quarterly and monthly installments through 2028.

Financing Leases

The Company leases certain equipment under finance lease arrangements, whose obligations are included in both short-term and long-term debt. Finance lease obligations amounted to approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Finance lease right of use assets are included in property, plant and equipment with the related amortization recorded as depreciation expense.

12. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Altra common stock from 90.0 million shares to 120.0 million shares.  As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 64,564,526 and 64,222,603 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Preferred Stock

On December 20, 2006, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation authorizing 10.0 million shares of undesignated Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series, the shares of each class or series to have such designations and powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. There was no Preferred Stock issued or outstanding at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Restricted Common Stock

The 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The 2014 Plan provides for various forms of stock-based compensation to our directors, executive personnel and other key employees and consultants. Under the 2014 Plan, the remaining total number of shares of common stock available for delivery pursuant to the grant of awards (“Awards”) was 1.5 million as of March 31, 2020.

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

The 2014 Plan permits the Company to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance share awards to key employees. Certain awards include vesting based upon achievement of specified performance criteria. Compensation expense recorded (in selling, general and administrative expense) during the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $3.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for the shares vesting ratably under the plan and uses the graded-vesting method of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for the performance share awards based on the probability of the specific performance metrics being achieved over the requisite service period.

The following tables set forth the activity of the Company’s restricted stock grants and stock options to date:

	Shares			Weighted- average fair value
Shares unvested January 1, 2020		786.3		$	35.69
Shares granted		322.0			34.58
Shares for which restrictions lapsed		(148.0	)		37.96

The intrinsic value of these awards, as of March 31, 2020, was $16.8 million. Grant date fair value is based on the quoted price of the stock on the date of grant.

13. Restructuring, Asset Impairment, and Transition Expenses

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

During 2017, the Company commenced a restructuring plan (“2017 Altra Plan”) as a result of the Company’s purchase of Stromag and to rationalize its global renewable energy business. The actions taken pursuant to the 2017 Altra Plan included reducing headcount, facility consolidations and the elimination of certain costs. The expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were comprised of approximately $0.2 million in severance, consolidation and other restructuring costs. The Company does not expect to incur any additional material costs as a result of the 2017 Altra Plan.

During 2019, the Company commenced a restructuring plan (“2019 Altra Plan”) to drive efficiencies, reduce the number of facilities and optimize its operating margin. The Company expects expenses related to workforce reductions, lease termination costs and other facility rationalization costs. The Company expects to incur approximately $15 - $20 million in restructuring expenses under the 2019 Altra Plan over the next three years, primarily related to plant consolidation and headcount reductions. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $1.1million, and $0.3 million in severance and consolidation costs, respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of the accrued restructuring costs between January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2020.

15. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company manages changes in market conditions related to interest on debt obligations and foreign currency exposures by entering into derivative instruments, including interest rate and foreign currency swap agreements. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each period. The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps), the Company uses standard models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows and the ability of Altra or the financial counterparty to perform. For interest rate swaps, the significant inputs to these models are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows that are adjusted for credit risk. For forward foreign currency contracts, the significant inputs are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows, and exchange rate curves of the foreign currency for translating future cash flows. For designated hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship consistent with the requirements of ASC 815, Derivatives

The following table summarizes outstanding swaps that the Company has recorded at March 31, 2020.

Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps

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

For net investment hedges, changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the derivatives’ gains or losses are reported as foreign currency translation gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCIL”). The gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in AOCIL are reclassified to earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying item, such as a disposal or substantial liquidations of the entities being hedged.

During the first quarter of 2020, the global economy declined substantially due to the impact of COVID-19. This decline resulted in a significant increase in the value of the U.S. dollar. The appreciation of the U.S. dollar resulted in the Company’s cross currency interest rate swaps being substantially in-the-money. Given the increased cash value of the hedges and the Company’s overall desire to strengthen its cash position, the Company terminated the cross-currency interest rate swaps during the first quarter of 2020. The Company received the cash value of the cross-currency interest rate swaps of approximately $56.2 million upon termination. In addition, the Company paid the interest owed and received the interest due, resulting in the recognition of approximately $3.3 million in net interest income and paid termination fees of approximately $0.9 million. As a result of the termination of the cross-currency interest rate swap, the Company recorded a gain in AOCIL of approximately $31.3 million, net of $9.9 million of tax, compared to $19.8 million, net of $3.6 million of tax, during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and year to date period ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps  

In January 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the variable interest rate payable on a portion of its outstanding borrowings. This interest rate swap matured on January 31, 2020.

In December 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage the cash flow risk caused by interest rate changes on the forecasted interest payments expected to occur related to a portion of its outstanding borrowings under the Altra Credit Agreement for a notional value of $600 million at 4.8255%.

The interest rate swap agreement is designed to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness and is recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company has designated this interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the swap will be recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a loss in AOCIL of approximately $11.7 million, net of a $3.7 million tax benefit, and $9.8 million, net of a $1.7 million tax benefit, during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and year to date period ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

The following table summarizes the location and fair value, using Level 2 inputs (see Note 6 for a description of the fair value levels), of the Company's derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions).

16. Commitments and Contingencies

General Litigation

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

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

There were no material amounts accrued in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for potential litigation as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

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

Environmental

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

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

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

17. Subsequent Events

On April 14, 2020, the Company provided notice to the administrative agent of the Altra Credit Agreement to repay $50 million outstanding under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility. The Company previously disclosed in its 8-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2020 that it had provided notice to the administrative agent of the Altra Credit Agreement on March 9, 2020 and March 16, 2020 to draw down $50 million and $50 million, respectively, under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility. At that time, the Company had increased its borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary action in order to increase its cash position and enhance its financial flexibility during this period of uncertainty in the global markets resulting from COVID-19. As of April 16, 2020, $50 million remains outstanding under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility and is currently being held on the Company’s balance sheet and may be used for general corporate purposes. The Company could make further borrowings and had $245.6 million available to borrow under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility as of April 16, 2020.

On April 29, 2020 the Company declared a dividend of $0.04 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, payable on July 6, 2020 to stockholders of record as of June 18, 2020.

On May 4, 2020 the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreement by paying $34.9 million which represented the estimated fair value of the swap and a termination fee of approximately $0.1 million. The Company had entered into this interest rate swap agreement in December 2018 in order to manage the cash flow risk caused by interest rate changes on the forecasted interest payments expected to occur related to a portion of its outstanding borrowings under the Altra Credit Agreement for an initial notional value of $600 million at 4.8255%. The swap agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge and was recognized at fair value in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

General

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

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

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

Business Outlook

Our future financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on conditions in the U.S., European, and global economies in general.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic affected our results of operations as we experienced temporary facility shutdowns, lower factory utilization rates, and some secondary impacts on customer demand.  For example, during the February to April period, 13 of Altra’s 53 global manufacturing facilities were temporarily shut down for varying lengths of time as a result of the pandemic and local government mandates.  The vast majority of the affected manufacturing facilities are now open and operational again.  In the first quarter, Altra formed a Pandemic Response Team to identify and assess risks and developed countermeasures following guidance from national, state and local governmental and health authorities. We also formed a Business Continuity Task Force charged with ensuring continuity of supply for our customers. In addition, we also have taken several proactive measures to protect the Company’s balance sheet and strengthen its liquidity position, including:

• Accelerating cost reductions through corporate furloughs, merit increase suspensions, executive wage rollbacks, discretionary spending reductions and savings as a result of suspending corporate travel,

24

• Leveraging government work programs and tax deferrals and extensions to the extent they do not incur interest rate fees or penalties,

• Taking a $100 million draw down on the Altra Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) in March 2020, $50 million of which was subsequently paid back after the close of the quarter, and

• Terminating Altra’s cross-currency net investment hedge, which resulted in a $56.2 million cash benefit.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the economic environment remain extremely fluid and it is difficult to predict with certainty what unforeseen circumstances may develop as we progress through the remainder of the year.  As a result, we will continue to proceed cautiously by managing our cost structure and cash flows and prioritizing debt reduction.  In addition, we are implementing strategic plans to best position Altra to adapt to these changing conditions and to continue to serve our customers and community.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on past experiences and other assumptions we believe to be appropriate, and we evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. See the discussion of critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Except as otherwise noted below, there have been no changes in the identification or application of the Company’s critical accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company conducts an annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in October of each year, unless events occur which trigger the need for an interim impairment review.  The 2019 annual goodwill impairment review indicated that the JVS reporting unit’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%. All other reporting units had fair values that exceeded their carrying value by 10% or more.

The Company considered the recent economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to be a triggering event for the JVS business unit and, as a result, the Company performed an interim impairment review. As a result of both the COVID-19 related economic downturn and its impact on JVS’s anticipated financial results, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the JVS reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and performed an interim impairment review for both JVS’s goodwill and tradename intangible asset. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $8.4 million and $139.1 million for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, respectively.

The Company estimated the fair value of the JVS reporting unit using both the discounted cash flow model and the market approach. The Company estimated the value of JVS’s indefinite-lived tradename intangible asset using a discounted cash flow model.  The determination of the fair value using the discounted cash flow model requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues, profit margins, and discount rates. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) multiples. The Company estimates future cash flows based upon historical results and current market projections, discounted at a market comparable rate.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the interim quantitative analysis included the following:

• Near-term revenue declines in 2020 with later-term improvements over the projection period;

• Adjusted profit margins over the projection period, due to revenue adjustments and maintained investment in the business; and

• Market-based discount rates.

The Company considered the recent economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to be a triggering event for the JVS business unit and, as a result, the Company performed an interim impairment review. As a result of both the COVID-19 related economic downturn and its impact on JVS’s anticipated financial results, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the JVS reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and performed an interim impairment review for both JVS’s goodwill and

25

tradename intangible asset. As a result of the interim impairment testing performed, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $8.4 million and $139.1 million for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, respectively.

• Near-term revenue declines in 2020;

• Adjusted profit margins over the projection period, due to revenue adjustments and maintained investment in the business; and

• Market-based discount rates.

• Reduced EBITDA multiple, due to current market conditions.

Depending on its duration and the severity of its economic impact, the COVID-19 pandemic may trigger additional interim impairment reviews in future periods.

Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in the U.S. to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, governments around the world have enacted or implemented various forms of tax relief measures in response to the economic conditions in the wake of COVID-19. Altra has determined that neither the CARES Act nor changes to income tax laws or regulations in other jurisdictions had a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter-ended March 31, 2020.

Trade Account Receivables

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company has updated its significant accounting policy related to trade account receivables and allowances for credit losses as of March 31, 2020 from what was previously disclosed in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 as follows:

All trade account receivables are reported net of allowances for credit losses. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our trade account receivables over the life of the underlying assets. Assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled together for determination of their current expected credit losses. We regularly perform detailed reviews of our pooled assets to evaluate the collectability of receivables based on a combination of past, current, and future financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected.

Net sales	$	434.2	$	482.8	$	(48.6	)		(10.1	)%

Net SalesThe decrease in net sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 is primarily due to the decline in sales at our JVS business unit due to the decline in the class 8 truck market, the decline in sales in our oil and gas end market as a result of the decline in oil prices globally, and the overall economic decline due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $7.0 million, primarily driven by the Euro. This was partially offset by price which had a favorable impact of $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Gross profit as a percent of sales		35.2	%		36.2	%

Gross Profit Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including a decrease in sales levels, costs associated with shutdowns of our manufacturing facilities and shutdowns of operations of our customers and suppliers. Changes in foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on gross profit of $2.7 million, primarily driven by the Euro. We have taken actions to reduce our expenses and maximize near-term profitability; however, we expect our 2020 gross profit as a percentage of sales to decrease when compared to 2019.

SG&A as a percent of sales		20.1	%		18.8	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the decrease in SG&A was primarily due to cost reduction actions which began during the quarter. Our cost reduction efforts were focused on compensation reductions, and the

27

elimination of non-critical expenses, including travel, which decreased our overall SG&A costs. However, due to the decrease in sales, SG&A as a percent of sales increased despite our cost reductions. During the remainder of 2020 we expect to continue to reduce our SG&A costs, however, if we experience decreased sales levels in future periods this could result in SG&A as a percentage of sales to increase.

Research and development expenses (“R&D”)	$	14.8	$	15.3	$	(0.5	)		(3.3	)%

Research and development expense Research and development expenses slightly decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The slight decrease is mainly due to the impact of foreign exchange of $0.2 million, primarily driven by the Euro. We expect R&D costs to be approximately 2.5% - 3.5% of sales in future periods.

Restructuring costs.    During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we commenced a restructuring plan (“2017 Altra Plan”) as a result of the Stromag Acquisition and to rationalize our global renewable energy business.  The actions taken pursuant to the 2017 Altra Plan included reducing headcount, facility consolidations and the elimination of certain costs. The total 2017 Altra Plan savings are in line with our expectations. We do not expect to incur any additional material costs as a result of the 2017 Altra Plan. 

During 2019, we commenced a restructuring plan (“2019 Altra Plan”) to drive efficiencies, reduce the number of facilities and optimize our operating margin. We expect expenses related to workforce reductions, lease termination costs and other facility rationalization costs. We expect to incur $15 - $20 million in restructuring expenses under the 2019 Plan over the next four years, primarily related to plant consolidation and headcount reductions. We have achieved savings of $0.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 under the 2019 Altra Plan and estimate additional future savings during 2020 to be approximately $2.0 million.  The cost savings for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were recognized as improvements in SG&A and Cost of Sales of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Interest expenseInterest expense decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to debt paydowns of approximately $136.0 million since the fourth quarter of 2018. We expect our interest expense in 2020 to decrease as a result of additional principal payments resulting in lower average outstanding borrowings.

Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income tax as a percentage of income before income taxes decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in the 2020 provision for income tax as a percent of income before income taxes is due to the impact of the $139.1 million non-cash impairment charge recorded at the JVS reporting unit in the United States and China. This was partially offset by the impact of a $2.8 million discrete item related to changes in tax rates for the JVS reporting unit in China. We expect our provision for income taxes as a percent of income before income taxes to be approximately 21% to 23% for the full year 2020.

Power Transmission Technologies

Net sales in the Power Transmission Technologies segment were $216.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of approximately $18.2 million or 8%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2019.  The decrease is primarily due to the overall economic decline as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  In addition, changes in foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $3.4 million, primarily driven by the Euro. The decrease in the turf and garden, agricultural, and oil and gas end markets was primarily due to the COVID-19 impact on discretionary spending as well as global industry trade tensions. Income from operations was $25.7 million which was primarily driven by modest growth in certain end markets such as wind, and aerospace and defense.  

Automation & Specialty

Net sales in the Automation and Specialty segment were $218.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of approximately $30.5 million, or 12.2%. The decrease is primarily due to the overall economic decline which has impacted almost all of our end markets as a result of COVID-19. In addition, changes in foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $3.5 million, primarily driven by the Euro. The Automation & Specialty segment had a loss from operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to the non-cash impairment charge recorded at the JVS reporting unit. As a result of both the COVID-19 related economic downturn and its impact on the JVS reporting units anticipated financial results, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the JVS reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and performed an interim impairment review for both JVS’s goodwill and tradename intangible asset. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $8.4 million and $139.1 million for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, respectively. The loss was partially offset by income from operations of $28.8 million which was primarily driven by modest growth in the factory automation end market.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We finance our capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2020, we had the ability under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) to borrow an additional $195.3 million subject to satisfying customary conditions.  We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, debt service, capital expenditures, acquisitions, pensions, dividends and share repurchases.  

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

We believe, based on current and projected levels of cash flows from operating activities, together with our ability to borrow under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein), we have sufficient liquidity to make required payments of interest on our debt, to make amortization payments under the Altra Credit Facilities (as defined herein), to fund our operating needs, to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements and to comply with the financial ratios in our debt agreements. However, it is difficult to predict the severity and duration of the economic decline due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic but we have taken several proactive measures to protect our balance sheet and strengthen our liquidity position, as discussed above under “Business Outlook.”

In the event additional funds are needed for operations, we could attempt to obtain new debt and/or refinance existing debt, or attempt to raise capital in the equity markets.  There can be no assurance however that additional debt or equity financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Notes

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

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

Altra Credit Agreement

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

30

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

Borrowings under the Altra Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a “Eurocurrency Rate” plus 2.00%, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate borrowings, or equal to a “Base Rate” plus 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate borrowings.  Borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility will initially bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Eurocurrency Rate plus 2.00%, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate borrowings, or equal to a Base Rate plus 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate borrowings, and thereafter will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate, as applicable, plus an interest rate spread determined by reference to a pricing grid based on Altra’s senior secured net leverage ratio.  In addition, Altra will be required to pay fees that will fluctuate between 0.250% per annum to 0.375% per annum on the unused amount of the Altra Revolving Credit Facility, based upon Altra’s senior secured net leverage ratio. The interest rate on the Altra Term Loan Facility was 3.603% at March 31, 2020.  

The Company provided notice to the administrative agent of the Altra Credit Agreement on March 9, 2020 and March 16, 2020 to draw down $50 million, and $50 million, respectively, with interest rates of 2.811% and 2.750%, respectively, under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility.  As of March 17, 2020, a total of $100 million was outstanding under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility, $50 million of which was subsequently paid back after the close of the quarter. Borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility are scheduled to mature on September 30, 2023, and the Company may repay amounts borrowed any time without penalty. The Company increased its borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary action in order to increase its cash position and enhance its financial flexibility during this period of uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The draw-down proceeds from the Altra Revolving Credit Facility are currently being held on the Company’s balance sheet and may be used for general corporate purposes.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $1,284.0 million outstanding on the Altra Credit Agreement.  As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $4.7 million and $4.4 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. The Company had $195.3 million available to borrow under the Altra Credit Facilities at March 31, 2020.

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

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The following is a summary of our cash balances and cash flows (in millions) as of and for the year to date periods ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively:

	March 31, 2020			March 31, 2019			Change
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period	$	167.3		$	169.0		$	(1.7	)
Cash flows provided from operating activities		34.9			39.3			(4.4	)
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities		48.0			(27.2	)		75.2
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities		80.1			(27.2	)		107.3
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and    cash equivalents		(3.4	)		(1.5	)		(1.9	)
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period	$	326.9		$	152.4		$	174.5

Cash Flows for 2020

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $34.9 million for the period ended March 31, 2020. This was generated by the net loss of ($116.6) million and the net impact of the add-back of certain items including non-cash depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing costs, non-cash loss on foreign currency, and the non-cash impairment charge to goodwill and intangible assets which totaled approximately $182.0 million. This was partially offset by a use in cash from a net decrease in assets and liabilities of approximately $30.5 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the period ended March 31, 2020 increased approximately $75.2 million compared to the period ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to the cross currency interest rate swap settlement proceeds of approximately $56.2 million received during the quarter.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the period ended March 31, 2019 increased by $107.3 million, primarily as a result of the $100.0 million borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. This was partially offset by the first quarter dividend payment and payments on the Altra Term Loan Facility of approximately $11.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

We intend to use our remaining cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations to provide for our working capital needs, to service our debt, including principal payments, for capital expenditures, for pension funding, and to pay dividends to our stockholders. As of March 31, 2020 we have approximately $114.4 million of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries. We believe, based on current and projected levels of cash flows from operating activities, together with our ability to borrow under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility, we have sufficient liquidity to make required payments of interest on our debt, to make amortization payments under the Altra Credit Facilities, to fund our operating needs, to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements and to comply with the financial ratios in our debt agreements. However, it is difficult to predict the severity and duration of the economic decline due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and any potential resulting impact to our cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes in our contractual obligations during the period ended March 31, 2020, other than the $100.0 million increase in the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility discussed above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risk factors such as fluctuating interest rates, changes in foreign currency rates, and changes in commodity prices. During the reporting period, there have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding our market risk set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

32

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2020, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

33

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are, from time to time, party to various legal proceedings arising out of our business. During the reporting period, there have been no material changes to the description of legal proceedings set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The reader should carefully consider the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those risk factors described elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 are not the only ones we face, but are considered to be the most material. These risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those stated in forward looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and elsewhere. All risk factors stated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 are incorporated herein by reference.

During the reporting period, except as noted below, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

We expect the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic to have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, it has resulted in significant financial market volatility, and its impact on the global economy appears to be significant. A continuation or worsening of the pandemic will have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition and on the market price of our common stock.

On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including the United States, many EU countries, Canada and China, have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, and there have been business closures and a substantial reduction in economic activity in countries that have had significant outbreaks of COVID-19. Significant uncertainty remains as to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and on the global economy as a whole. It is currently not possible to predict how long the pandemic will last or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to prior levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of our common stock. We expect that our results of operations will reflect a negative impact from, among other things, the global pandemic. Depending upon the duration and severity of the pandemic, the continuing effect on our results over the long term is uncertain.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires the use of the current expected credit loss impairment model to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an asset, that considers information about past events, current conditions and a forecast of future economic conditions. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company has updated its significant accounting policy related to trade account receivables and allowances for credit losses as of March 31, 2020 from what was previously disclosed in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 as follows:

All trade account receivables are reported net of allowances for credit losses. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our trade account receivables over the life of the underlying assets. Assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled together for determination of their current expected credit losses. We regularly perform detailed reviews of our pooled assets to evaluate the collectability of receivables based on a combination of past, current, and future financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). This ASU provides relief from certain accounting consequences that could result from the global markets’ anticipated transition away from the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The relief provided by this ASU is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The optional amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this standard to the Company.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps), the Company uses standard models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows and the ability of the Company or the financial counterparty to perform. For interest rate and cross currency swaps, the significant inputs to these models are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and are adjusted for credit risk. For forward foreign currency contracts, the significant inputs are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and exchange rate curves of the foreign currency for translating future cash flows. See additional discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments including cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps included in Note 15.

The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Debt under the Altra Credit Agreement (as defined herein) is comprised of the Altra Term Loan Facility and the Altra Revolving Credit Facility (both as defined herein). The carrying amount of the Altra Term Loan Facility was $1,184.0 million and the estimated fair value of the Altra Term Loan Facility was $1,002.0 million at March 31, 2020. Debt under the Altra Credit Facility of $100.0 million approximates the fair value due to the variable interest rate. Further, the Altra Credit Agreement was negotiated in October 2018 and there have not been any significant changes in our credit rating. The carrying amount of the Notes (as defined herein) was $400 million and the estimated fair value of the Notes was $394.5 million at March 31, 2020.

Net Income Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, and diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents are included in the per share calculations when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of basic to diluted net income per share:

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

15. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company manages changes in market conditions related to interest on debt obligations and foreign currency exposures by entering into derivative instruments, including interest rate and foreign currency swap agreements. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each period. The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps), the Company uses standard models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows and the ability of Altra or the financial counterparty to perform. For interest rate swaps, the significant inputs to these models are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows that are adjusted for credit risk. For forward foreign currency contracts, the significant inputs are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows, and exchange rate curves of the foreign currency for translating future cash flows. For designated hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship consistent with the requirements of ASC 815, Derivatives

The following table summarizes outstanding swaps that the Company has recorded at March 31, 2020.

Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps

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

For net investment hedges, changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the derivatives’ gains or losses are reported as foreign currency translation gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCIL”). The gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in AOCIL are reclassified to earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying item, such as a disposal or substantial liquidations of the entities being hedged.

During the first quarter of 2020, the global economy declined substantially due to the impact of COVID-19. This decline resulted in a significant increase in the value of the U.S. dollar. The appreciation of the U.S. dollar resulted in the Company’s cross currency interest rate swaps being substantially in-the-money. Given the increased cash value of the hedges and the Company’s overall desire to strengthen its cash position, the Company terminated the cross-currency interest rate swaps during the first quarter of 2020. The Company received the cash value of the cross-currency interest rate swaps of approximately $56.2 million upon termination. In addition, the Company paid the interest owed and received the interest due, resulting in the recognition of approximately $3.3 million in net interest income and paid termination fees of approximately $0.9 million. As a result of the termination of the cross-currency interest rate swap, the Company recorded a gain in AOCIL of approximately $31.3 million, net of $9.9 million of tax, compared to $19.8 million, net of $3.6 million of tax, during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and year to date period ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Description (in millions)	Gain/(Loss) Recognized in AOCI
Cross currency swap agreements, net of tax	$	31.3	$	19.8

Interest Rate Swaps  

In January 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the variable interest rate payable on a portion of its outstanding borrowings. This interest rate swap matured on January 31, 2020.

In December 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage the cash flow risk caused by interest rate changes on the forecasted interest payments expected to occur related to a portion of its outstanding borrowings under the Altra Credit Agreement for a notional value of $600 million at 4.8255%.

The interest rate swap agreement is designed to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness and is recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company has designated this interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the swap will be recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a loss in AOCIL of approximately $11.7 million, net of a $3.7 million tax benefit, and $9.8 million, net of a $1.7 million tax benefit, during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and year to date period ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

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

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

Borrowings under the Altra Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a “Eurocurrency Rate” plus 2.00%, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate borrowings, or equal to a “Base Rate” plus 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate borrowings. Borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility will initially bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Eurocurrency Rate plus 2.00%, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate borrowings, or equal to a Base Rate plus 1.00%, in the case of Base Rate borrowings, and thereafter will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Eurocurrency Rate or Base Rate, as applicable, plus an interest rate spread determined by reference to a pricing grid based on the Company’s senior secured net leverage ratio. In addition, the Company will be required to pay fees that will fluctuate between 0.250% per annum to 0.375% per annum on the unused amount of the Altra Revolving Credit Facility, based upon the Company’s senior secured net leverage ratio. The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 3.603% at March 31, 2020.

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

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

The Company provided notice to the administrative agent of the Altra Credit Agreement on March 9, 2020 and March 16, 2020 to draw down $50 million, and $50 million, respectively, with interest rates of 2.811% and 2.750%, respectively, under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility.  As of quarter end March 31, 2020, a total of $100 million was outstanding under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility are scheduled to mature on September 30, 2023, and the Company may repay amounts borrowed any time without penalty. The Company increased its borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary action in order to increase its cash position and enhance its financial flexibility during this period of uncertainty in the global markets resulting from COVID-19. The draw-down proceeds from the Altra Revolving Credit Facility are currently being held on the Company’s balance sheet in cash and cash equivalents and may be used for general corporate purposes.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $1,284.0 million outstanding on the Altra Credit Agreement.  As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $4.7 million and $4.4 million in letters of credit outstanding, respectively. The Company had $195.3 million available to borrow under the Altra Credit Facilities at March 31, 2020.

Mortgages and Other Agreements

The Company’s subsidiaries in Europe have entered into certain long-term fixed rate term loans that are generally secured by local property, plant and equipment. The debt has interest rates that range from 1.79% to 2.5%, with various quarterly and monthly installments through 2028. 

Financing Leases

The Company leases certain equipment under finance lease arrangements, whose obligations are included in both short-term and long-term debt. Finance lease obligations amounted to approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Finance lease right of use assets are included in property, plant and equipment with the related amortization recorded as depreciation expense.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

3. Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires the use of the current expected credit loss impairment model to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an asset, that considers information about past events, current conditions and a forecast of future economic conditions. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company has updated its significant accounting policy related to trade account receivables and allowances for credit losses as of March 31, 2020 from what was previously disclosed in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 as follows:

All trade account receivables are reported net of allowances for credit losses. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our trade account receivables over the life of the underlying assets. Assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled together for determination of their current expected credit losses. We regularly perform detailed reviews of our pooled assets to evaluate the collectability of receivables based on a combination of past, current, and future financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). This ASU provides relief from certain accounting consequences that could result from the global markets’ anticipated transition away from the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The relief provided by this ASU is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The optional amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this standard to the Company.

On April 14, 2020, the Company provided notice to the administrative agent of the Altra Credit Agreement to repay $50 million outstanding under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility. The Company previously disclosed in its 8-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2020 that it had provided notice to the administrative agent of the Altra Credit Agreement on March 9, 2020 and March 16, 2020 to draw down $50 million and $50 million, respectively, under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility. At that time, the Company had increased its borrowings under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary action in order to increase its cash position and enhance its financial flexibility during this period of uncertainty in the global markets resulting from COVID-19. As of April 16, 2020, $50 million remains outstanding under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility and is currently being held on the Company’s balance sheet and may be used for general corporate purposes. The Company could make further borrowings and had $245.6 million available to borrow under the Altra Revolving Credit Facility as of April 16, 2020.

On April 29, 2020 the Company declared a dividend of $0.04 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, payable on July 6, 2020 to stockholders of record as of June 18, 2020.

On May 4, 2020 the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreement by paying $34.9 million which represented the estimated fair value of the swap and a termination fee of approximately $0.1 million. The Company had entered into this interest rate swap agreement in December 2018 in order to manage the cash flow risk caused by interest rate changes on the forecasted interest payments expected to occur related to a portion of its outstanding borrowings under the Altra Credit Agreement for an initial notional value of $600 million at 4.8255%. The swap agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge and was recognized at fair value in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Restructuring, Asset Impairment, and Transition Expenses

13. Restructuring, Asset Impairment, and Transition Expenses

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

During 2017, the Company commenced a restructuring plan (“2017 Altra Plan”) as a result of the Company’s purchase of Stromag and to rationalize its global renewable energy business. The actions taken pursuant to the 2017 Altra Plan included reducing headcount, facility consolidations and the elimination of certain costs. The expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were comprised of approximately $0.2 million in severance, consolidation and other restructuring costs. The Company does not expect to incur any additional material costs as a result of the 2017 Altra Plan.

During 2019, the Company commenced a restructuring plan (“2019 Altra Plan”) to drive efficiencies, reduce the number of facilities and optimize its operating margin. The Company expects expenses related to workforce reductions, lease termination costs and other facility rationalization costs. The Company expects to incur approximately $15 - $20 million in restructuring expenses under the 2019 Altra Plan over the next three years, primarily related to plant consolidation and headcount reductions. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $1.1million, and $0.3 million in severance and consolidation costs, respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of the accrued restructuring costs between January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2020.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company conducts an annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in October of each year, unless events occur which trigger the need for an interim impairment review.  The 2019 annual goodwill impairment review indicated that the JVS reporting unit’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%. All other reporting units had fair values that exceeded their carrying value by 10% or more.

The Company considered the recent economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to be a triggering event for the JVS business unit and, as a result, the Company performed an interim impairment review. As a result of both the COVID-19 related economic downturn and its impact on JVS’s anticipated financial results, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the JVS reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and performed an interim impairment review for both JVS’s goodwill and tradename intangible asset. As a result of the interim impairment testing performed, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $8.4 million and $139.1 million for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, respectively.  

The Company estimated the fair value of the JVS reporting unit using both the discounted cash flow model and the market approach. The Company estimated the value of JVS’s indefinite-lived tradename intangible asset using a discounted cash flow model.  The determination of the fair value using the discounted cash flow model requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues, profit margins, and discount rates. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. The Company estimates future cash flows based upon historical results and current market projections, discounted at a market comparable rate.

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the interim quantitative analysis included the following:

• Near-term revenue declines in 2020;

• Adjusted profit margins over the projection period, due to revenue adjustments and maintained investment in the business; and

• Market-based discount rates.

• Reduced EBITDA multiple, due to current market conditions.

Depending on its duration and the severity of its economic impact, the COVID-19 pandemic may trigger additional interim impairment reviews in future periods.

Changes in goodwill from January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2020 were as follows:

	Power Transmission Technologies			Automation & Specialty			Total
Net goodwill balance January 1, 2020	$	410.1		$	1,284.8		$	1,694.9

Net goodwill balance March 31, 2020	$	406.7		$	1,121.6		$	1,528.3

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options and swaps), the Company uses standard models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows and the ability of the Company or the financial counterparty to perform. For interest rate and cross currency swaps, the significant inputs to these models are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and are adjusted for credit risk. For forward foreign currency contracts, the significant inputs are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and exchange rate curves of the foreign currency for translating future cash flows. See additional discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments including cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps included in Note 15.

The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Debt under the Altra Credit Agreement (as defined herein) is comprised of the Altra Term Loan Facility and the Altra Revolving Credit Facility (both as defined herein). The carrying amount of the Altra Term Loan Facility was $1,184.0 million and the estimated fair value of the Altra Term Loan Facility was $1,002.0 million at March 31, 2020. Debt under the Altra Credit Facility of $100.0 million approximates the fair value due to the variable interest rate. Further, the Altra Credit Agreement was negotiated in October 2018 and there have not been any significant changes in our credit rating. The carrying amount of the Notes (as defined herein) was $400 million and the estimated fair value of the Notes was $394.5 million at March 31, 2020.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

4. Revenue Recognition

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

As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment from the Company’s manufacturing site or delivery to the customer’s named location. In determining whether control has transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer. In certain circumstances, the Company manufactures customized product without alternative use for its customers, which would generally result in the transfer of control over time.  The Company has evaluated the amount of revenue subject to recognition over time and concluded that it is immaterial.

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

Net sales by geographic region based on point of shipment origin are as follows:

Germany		52.5		62.2
Asia and other		61.6		65.9
Total	$	434.2	$	482.8

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

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

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liability and accounts receivable as of the year to date period ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:

	Deferred Revenue (Current)		Accounts Receivable
Beginning - January 1, 2020	$	8.4	$	243.2
Closing - March 31, 2020		11.1		242.9
Increase/(Decrease)	$	2.7	$	(0.3	)

	Deferred Revenue (Current)		Accounts Receivable

Closing - March 31, 2019		7.8		281.8
Increase/(Decrease)	$	0.4	$	22.0

The revenue recognized during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period amounted to $2.2 million, and $2.1 million, respectively.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

16. Commitments and Contingencies

General Litigation

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

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

There were no material amounts accrued in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for potential litigation as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

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

Environmental

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

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

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

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders Equity Note [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

12. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Altra common stock from 90.0 million shares to 120.0 million shares.  As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 64,564,526 and 64,222,603 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Preferred Stock

On December 20, 2006, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation authorizing 10.0 million shares of undesignated Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series, the shares of each class or series to have such designations and powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. There was no Preferred Stock issued or outstanding at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Restricted Common Stock

The 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The 2014 Plan provides for various forms of stock-based compensation to our directors, executive personnel and other key employees and consultants. Under the 2014 Plan, the remaining total number of shares of common stock available for delivery pursuant to the grant of awards (“Awards”) was 1.5 million as of March 31, 2020.

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

The 2014 Plan permits the Company to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance share awards to key employees. Certain awards include vesting based upon achievement of specified performance criteria. Compensation expense recorded (in selling, general and administrative expense) during the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $3.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for the shares vesting ratably under the plan and uses the graded-vesting method of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for the performance share awards based on the probability of the specific performance metrics being achieved over the requisite service period.

The following tables set forth the activity of the Company’s restricted stock grants and stock options to date:

	Shares			Weighted- average fair value
Shares unvested January 1, 2020		786.3		$	35.69
Shares granted		322.0			34.58
Shares for which restrictions lapsed		(148.0	)		37.96
Shares unvested March 31, 2020		960.3		$	34.96

	Shares		Weighted- average fair value
Options unvested January 1, 2020		271.7	$	30.65
Options granted		214.5		34.78
Options exercised		—		—
Options outstanding March 31, 2020		486.2	$	32.47
Quantity ending exercisable balance		66.4	$	30.65

Total remaining unrecognized compensation cost is approximately $29.7 million as of March 31, 2020, and will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of three years. The intrinsic value of these awards, as of March 31, 2020, was $16.8 million. Grant date fair value is based on the quoted price of the stock on the date of grant.
