Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On February 23, 2018, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Manitowoc FSG UK Limited, entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with various persons and legal entities (the “Sellers”) representing 100% of the share capital of Avaj International Holding AB (“Avaj”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase all of the outstanding share capital of Avaj from the Sellers (the “Acquisition”) for aggregate consideration of approximately 1,800.0 million Swedish Krona (“SEK”) or $224.0 million, comprised of (1) SEK1,314.2 million (or approximately $162.0 million) in cash, plus 5.0% interest on such amount for the period from December 31, 2017 to the closing date of the Acquisition, and (2) the repayment of certain indebtedness owed under third-party borrowings and shareholder loans of approximately SEK485.8 million (or $62.0 million) in the aggregate. The Acquisition will be funded through cash on hand and additional borrowings under existing credit lines and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2018, subject to certain closing conditions and the receipt of necessary clearances and approvals, if applicable, from the Spanish National Markets and Competition Commission (the “Competition Approval Condition”). Crem International Holding AB (“Crem”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avaj, is a global manufacturer of professional coffee machines headquartered in Solna, Sweden. Crem develops, manufactures and markets a full suite of coffee machines under three brands: Coffee Queen^®, Expobar^® and Spengler for use in offices, restaurants, cafes and coffee shops, catering and convenience stores. Following completion of the Acquisition, the Company will have an established presence in hot beverage equipment, a complementary product category, and expects to realize operational synergies and cross-selling benefits. In addition, the Acquisition supports the Company's strategic objective of increasing its Europe and Asia presence. The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary warranties and covenants, including, among other things, (1) covenants with respect to the conduct of the business in the ordinary course between the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the completion of the Acquisition, and (2) covenants with respect to the Company taking all commercially reasonable measures to satisfy the Competition Approval Condition. The Purchase Agreement also provides for indemnification rights for the Company with respect to breaches by Sellers of warranties, covenants or other agreements under the Purchase Agreement, and for the Company to purchase warranty and indemnity insurance with respect to such rights. The Purchase Agreement provides that in the event that the Competition Approval Condition has not been fulfilled within 60 business days (as determined under general Swedish banking practices) or it is clear that the Competition Approval Condition will not be fulfilled on or before such date, then the Sellers shall be entitled to terminate the Purchase Agreement. Events Subsequent to Original Issuance of Financial Statements (Unaudited) Acquisition of Crem On April 19, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Crem under substantially similar terms to those described above. Amendments to 2016 Credit Facility In April 2018, the Company entered into an Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment to the 2016 Credit Agreement whereby the aggregate revolving commitments were increased by $50.0 million to $275.0 million. On October 23, 2018 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) to the 2016 Credit Agreement (as amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the subsidiary borrowers party thereto, the lenders and other financial parties from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., individually and as administrative agent. The Amendment (i) replaced and refinanced all amounts outstanding and committed under the 2016 Credit Agreement such that, as of the Amendment Effective Date, the aggregate amount of term B loans outstanding was $900.0 million and the aggregate amount of revolving commitments was $400.0 million, of which $90.0 million was drawn, (ii) extended the maturity of the new term B loans to October 2025 and the new revolving commitments to October 2023 and (iii) made certain other changes to the Credit Agreement as set forth therein. Following the Amendment, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of, for term loans, 2.50% and, for revolving loans, from 1.50% to 2.50% (depending on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio) or (ii) an alternate base rate, plus applicable margins of 1.00% less than in the case of LIBOR-based borrowings. The Amendment revised the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement to (a) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio of 5.75 to 1.00, with decreases of 0.25 every fourth fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019, and decreases of 0.50 every fourth fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021 until the ratio reaches 4.25 to 1.00 in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, and (b) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00, with increases of 0.25 every fourth fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019 until the ratio reaches 3.00 to 1.00 in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020; provided, however, that during a covenant holiday acquisition transition period, the consolidated total leverage ratio may exceed the applicable maximum by up to and including 0.50 (but in no event shall exceed 5.50 to 1.00). The Amendment also increased (i) the sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit under the new revolving commitments to $30.0 million and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of allowed incremental revolving or term loan facilities under the Credit Agreement to an amount not to exceed the sum of (a) $275.0 million plus (b) an additional amount, so long as, giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, the resulting pro forma senior secured leverage ratio does not exceed 3.75:1.00. In connection with this Amendment, the Company incurred debt issuance costs, including original issue discount, of approximately $13.0 million. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting treatment for these debt issuance costs as well as the existing unamortized debt issuance costs, which were $19.8 million as of September 30, 2018. If the Amendment constitutes a significant modification to the 2016 Credit Agreement, the Company may be required to expense all or a portion of the existing unamortized debt issuance costs in the fourth quarter of 2018. Amendments to Accounts Receivable Securitization Agreement The accounts receivable securitization facility was amended on October 26, 2018 in conjunction with the Amendment to the Credit Agreement to provide for certain conforming changes including amending the maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio required thereunder. Pension Settlement In October 2018, the Company completed the purchase of a group annuity contract using assets from the U.S. pension plan. Under the group annuity contract, accrued pension obligations of approximately $8.0 million for certain participants that were receiving payments from the U.S. pension plan were transferred to an insurer. This agreement is an irrevocable action that unconditionally transfers the legal obligation to provide these payments to the insurer, as well as the risks attributable to that obligation. As a result, the Company expects to record a non-cash settlement loss estimated to be approximately $2.0 million, based on current market conditions, related to the accelerated recognition of unamortized losses in the fourth quarter of 2018, which will be recorded in "Other expense — net" in the consolidated statement of operations. Misappropriation of Funds On November 14, 2018, management learned of an incident that occurred in early November 2018, which resulted in the diversion of approximately €4.0 million from a subsidiary of the Company’s recently acquired Crem business. The Company is currently investigating this matter, including the potential likelihood of recovery, if any. Based on its preliminary review as of the date of this report, management believes the loss, net of recoveries, to be approximately €1.0 million to €3.0 million, although this amount may change as the Company continues with its investigation. The Company also has disclosed the matter to local authorities and is cooperating with them in their investigation. The Company does not currently expect the impact of this incident to be material to its business, results of operations or financial condition.
