NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Enerpac Tool Group Corp. (“Company,” "we," or "us"), formerly known as Actuant Corporation, have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of August 31, 2019 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes in the Company’s fiscal 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of financial results have been made. Such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2020.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (and subsequently ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2019-01), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset. The amendments also expanded disclosure requirements for key information about leasing arrangements. On September 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard using a modified retrospective approach and through implementing selected third-party lease software utilized as a central repository for all leases. The Company elected the package of practical expedients allowing us to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and initial direct costs for leases that commenced prior to September 1, 2019. In addition, we elected not to recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases containing terms of 12 months or less and not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes. The Company updated its standard lease accounting policy to address the new standard, revised the Company’s business processes and controls to align to the updated policy and new standard and completed the implementation of and data input into the Company’s lease accounting software solution. The most significant impact of the standard on the Company was the recognition of a $60.8 million ROU asset and operating lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at adoption. The standard did not have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, as a result of sale leaseback transactions in previous years for which gains were deferred and under the new standard would have been recognized, the Company recorded an increase to retained earnings of $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which represents the recognition of these previously deferred gains. See Note 15, “Leases” for further discussion of the Company’s operating leases.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in their consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the guidance on September1, 2019 and recorded an increase to retained earnings with an offsetting increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.7 million on the adoption date.

Note 2. Revenue Recognition

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company generates its revenue under two principal activities, which are discussed below:

Product Sales: Sales of tools, heavy-lifting solutions, and rope and cable solutions are recorded when control is transferred to the customer (i.e., performance obligation has been satisfied). For the majority of the Company’s product sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the product is shipped from the Company to the customer. Due to the highly customized nature and limited alternative use of certain products, for which the Company has an enforceable right of reimbursement for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized over time. We consider the input measure (efforts-expended or cost-to-cost) or output measure as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over time revenue associated with these custom products. For a majority of the Company’s custom products, machine hours and labor hours (efforts-expended measurement) are used as a measure of progress.

Service & Rental Sales: Service contracts consist of providing highly trained technicians to perform bolting, technical services, machining and joint integrity work for our customers. These revenues are recognized over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company. We consider the input measure (efforts-expended or cost-to-cost) or output measure as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over time revenue associated with service contracts. For a majority of the Company’s service contracts, labor hours (efforts-expended measurement) is used as the measure of progress when it is determined to be a better depiction of the transfer of control to the customer due to the timing and pattern of labor hours incurred. Revenue from rental contracts (less than a year and non-customized products) is generally recognized ratably over the contract term, depicting the customer’s consumption of the benefit related to the rental equipment.

Disaggregated Revenue and Performance Obligations

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by reportable segment and product line and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. See Note 13, "Segment Information" for information regarding our revenue disaggregation by reportable segment and product line.

The following table presents information regarding revenues disaggregated by the timing of when goods and services are transferred (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	February 29, 2020		February 28, 2019		February 29, 2020		February 28, 2019
Revenues recognized at point in time	$	97,189	$	109,883	$	202,001	$	218,139
Revenues recognized over time	36,197		49,905		78,059		100,201
Total	$	133,386	$	159,788	$	280,060	$	318,340

Contract Balances

The Company's contract assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

	February 29, 2020		August 31, 2019
Receivables, which are included in accounts receivable, net	$	113,294	$	125,883
Contract assets, which are included in other current assets	5,177		3,747
Contract liabilities, which are included in other current liabilities	1,334		3,707

8

Receivables: The Company performs its obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. The Company typically invoices its customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred and a receivable for the Company is established.

Contract Assets: Contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date on contracts with customers. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. The Company has contract assets on contracts that are generally long-term and have revenues that are recognized over time.

Contract Liabilities: As of February 29, 2020, the Company had certain contracts where there were unsatisfied performance obligations and the Company had received cash consideration from customers before the performance obligations were satisfied. The majority of these contracts relate to long-term customer contracts (project durations of greater than three months) and are recognized over time. The Company estimates that the $1.3 million will be recognized in net sales from satisfying those performance obligations within the next twelve months.

Significant Judgments

Timing of Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time: The Company evaluates when the customer obtains control of the product based on shipping terms, as control will transfer, depending upon such terms, at different points between the Company's manufacturing facility or warehouse and the customer’s location. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery because i) the Company has a present right to payment at that time; ii) the legal title has been transferred to the customer; iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer; and iv) the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product.

Variable Consideration: The Company estimates whether it will be subject to variable consideration under the terms of the contract and includes its estimate of variable consideration in the transaction price based on the expected value method when it is deemed probable of being realized based on historical experience and trends. Types of variable consideration may include rebates, incentives and discounts, among others, which are recorded as a reduction to net sales at the time when control of a performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

Practical Expedients & Exemptions: The Company elected to expense the incremental cost to obtaining a contract when the amortization period for such contracts would be one year or less. The Company does not disclose the value of unperformed obligations for i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and ii) contracts for which it recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Note 3. Restructuring Charges

The Company has undertaken or committed to various restructuring initiatives including workforce reductions; leadership changes; plant consolidations to reduce manufacturing overhead; satellite office closures; the continued movement of production and product sourcing to low-cost alternatives; and the centralization and standardization of certain administrative functions. Liabilities for severance will generally be paid within twelve months, while future lease payments related to facilities vacated as a result of restructuring will be paid over the underlying remaining lease terms. During fiscal 2019, the Company announced a new restructuring plan focused on i) the integration of the Enerpac and Hydratight businesses (Industrial Tools & Service ("IT&S") segment), ii) the strategic exit of certain commodity type services in our North America Services operations (IT&S segment) and iii) driving efficiencies within the overall corporate structure. Total restructuring charges associated with this restructuring plan were $1.7 million and $3.1 million in the three and six months ended February 29, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded total restructuring charges of $0.1 million in both the three and six months ended February 28, 2019 associated with the legacy restructuring initiatives.

The following summarizes restructuring reserve activity for the IT&S reportable segment and corporate (in thousands):

The three and six months ended February 29, 2020 included $0.3 million and $0.8 million of restructuring expenses related to Cortland U.S. (Other segment), respectively. Restructuring reserves for Cortland U.S. were $0.6 million and $1.9 million as of February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. There were inconsequential restructuring charges recorded within the Other segment associated with the legacy restructuring initiatives in the three and six months ended February 28, 2019.

Note 4.    Acquisitions

On January 7, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of HTL Group ("HTL"), a provider of controlled bolting products and calibration and repair services, as well as a strong rental business. The tuck-in acquisition of HTL now provides the Company with a complete bolting line of products and enhances our European rental capabilities. The Company acquired all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of HTL for a purchase price of $33.4 million, net of cash acquired. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in $8.6 million of goodwill (which is not deductible for tax purposes), $18.0 million of intangible assets, and $7.3 million of property, plant and equipment. The impact on the remaining balance sheet line items was not material. The intangible assets were comprised of $3.7 million of indefinite-lived tradenames, $13.6 million of amortizable customer relationships and $0.7 million of amortizable patents. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. While the Company believes these preliminary estimates provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it will continue to evaluate available information prior to finalization of the amounts. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of rental assets acquired (component of property, plant, and equipment), intangible assets and the resulting impact on deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

The Company incurred transaction costs of $0.2 million for both the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 (included in "Selling, administrative and engineering expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) related to this acquisition.

This acquisition generated net sales of $2.0 million for the three months ended February 29, 2020 which are reported within the IT&S reportable segment. This acquisition does not meet the significance tests to require pro forma financial information otherwise required for acquisitions.

Note 5. Discontinued Operations and Other Divestiture Activities

Discontinued Operations

On October 31, 2019, as part of our overall strategy to become a pure-play industrial tools and services company, the Company completed the previously announced sale of the businesses comprising its former Engineered Components & Systems ("EC&S") segment to wholly owned subsidiaries of BRWS Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners II, LP, for a purchase price of approximately $214.5 million (which included approximately $3.0 million to be paid in four equal quarterly installments after closing, of which $0.7 million was received in the three months ended February 29, 2020). In connection with the completion of the sale in the three months ended November 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net loss of $4.2 million comprised of a loss of $22.4 million representing the excess of the net assets (exclusive of deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with subsidiaries of the Company whose stock was sold as part of the transaction) as compared to the purchase price less costs to sell and the recognition in earnings of the cumulative effect of foreign currency exchange gains and losses during the quarter largely offset by an income tax benefit of $18.2 million associated with the write off of the net deferred tax liability on subsidiaries of the EC&S segment for which the stock was divested. The Company also recognized an additional $3.3 million of impairment & divestiture costs in the three months ended November 30, 2019 associated with the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards associated with employees terminated as part of the transaction and $2.7 million of additional divestiture charges which were necessary to complete the transaction. In the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company also incurred approximately $0.3 million of additional miscellaneous divestiture related costs. The final loss on the sale is subject to the customary negotiation of final working capital amounts.

10

During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company determined that the Precision Hayes business was a non-core asset, did not align with the strategic objectives of the Company and, as a result, the Company committed to a plan to sell this business. The Company completed the sale of the Precision Hayes business on December 31, 2018 for $23.6 million cash net of final transaction costs, working capital adjustments, accelerated vesting of equity compensation, retention bonuses and other adjustments which were recognized within the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company recorded $0.0 million and $9.5 million of impairment & divestiture charges during the three and six months ended February 28, 2019, respectively, of which the charges for the six-month period represented the excess of the net book value of the net assets held for sale less the anticipated proceeds, less costs to sell.

The Company completed the sale of the Cortland Fibron business on December 19, 2018 for $12.5 million in cash. During the three and six months ended February 28, 2019, the Company recognized $2.6 million and $4.3 million of impairment & divestiture charges associated with the divestiture of the Cortland Fibron business.

In addition to the above disclosed matters, the Company also incurred $0.9 million and $2.5 million of divestiture related costs during the three and six months ended February 29, 2020, respectively.

As the aforementioned divestitures were a part of our strategic shift to become a pure-play industrial tools and services company, the results of their operations (including the stated impairment & divestiture charges) are recorded as a component of "Loss from discontinued operations" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

The following represents the detail of "(Loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes" within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Net (loss) earnings from discontinued operations	$	(1,756	)	$	1,988		$	(6,007	)	$	958

* "(Loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes" for the periods presented in fiscal 2020 include the results of the EC&S segment for the two months ended October 31, 2019 (the divestiture date) as well as the ancillary impacts from certain retained liabilities subsequent to the divestiture. As a result of the classification of the segment as assets and liabilities held for sale for the two months ended October 31, 2019, the Company did not record amortization or depreciation expense in the results of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, the Company excluded EC&S segment employees from the fiscal 2020 bonus compensation plan, hence there are no expenses associated with the plan for that period.

Other Divestiture Activities

On September 20, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the UNI-LIFT product line, a component of our Milwaukee Cylinder business (IT&S segment) for net cash proceeds of $6.0 million, which resulted in an impairment & divestiture benefit of $4.6 million in the three months ended November 30, 2019. In the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company recorded an additional benefit of $0.1 million related to agreement with the buyer on final working capital amounts and various other benefits. In March 2020, the buyer of the UNI-LIFT product line extended a long-term supply agreement with a significant customer. Pursuant to the sales agreement, this action triggered the requirement for the buyer to pay $1.5 million of contingent proceeds and payment was subsequently received by the Company. These contingent proceeds were not reflected within the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended February 29, 2020, but will be reflected within the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ending May 31, 2020.

After the sale of the UNI-LIFT product line, the Company determined that the remaining Milwaukee Cylinder business was a non-core asset, did not align with the strategic objectives of the Company and, as a result, the Company committed to a plan to sell

11

this business. We recorded impairment & divestiture charges of $4.6 million in the three months ended November 30, 2019 comprised of impairment charges of $2.5 million representing the excess of net assets held for sale compared to the anticipated proceeds less costs to sell, $1.9 million associated with our requirement to withdraw from the multi-employer pension plan associated with that business and $0.2 million of other divestiture related charges. The Company completed the divestiture of the Milwaukee Cylinder business on December 2, 2019 for a negligible amount. In the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company recorded inconsequential amounts of impairment & divestiture charges. The historical results of the Milwaukee Cylinder business, inclusive of the UNI-LIFT product line, (which had net sales of $4.3 million in the three months ended February 28, 2019 and $2.9 million and $7.1 million in the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively) are not material to the condensed consolidated financial results.

On October 22, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the Connectors product line (IT&S segment) for net cash proceeds of $2.7 million, which resulted in an impairment & divestiture benefit of $1.3 million in the three months ended November 30. 2019. During the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company recorded $0.1 million of impairment & divestiture charges related to working capital adjustment. The historical results of the Connectors product line (which had net sales of $1.0 million in the three months ended February 28, 2019 and $0.2 million and $2.5 million in the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively) are not material to the condensed consolidated financial results.

At February 29, 2020, the Company determined that it was no longer probable that a loss will occur related to an outstanding legal matter associated with a previously divested business, as such, recorded an impairment & divestiture benefit of $0.8 million in the three months ended February 29, 2020.

Note 6. Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Changes in the gross carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, business acquisitions, divestitures and impairment charges. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended February 29, 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

	Industrial Tools & Services		Other		Total
Balance as of August 31, 2019	$	242,873	$	17,542	$	260,415
Acquisition of HTL Group (Note 4)	8,595		—		8,595
Impact of changes in foreign currency rates	2,815		3		2,818
Balance as of February 29, 2020	$	254,283	$	17,545	$	271,828

The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

		February 29, 2020						August 31, 2019
	Weighted Average Amortization Period (Years)	Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value		Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value
Amortizable intangible assets:
Customer relationships	14	$	140,239	$	100,895	$	39,344	$	126,229	$	96,817	$	29,412
Patents	12	14,068		12,723		1,345		13,227		12,276		951
Trademarks and tradenames*	12	3,202		2,019		1,183		4,513		2,921		1,592
Indefinite lived intangible assets:
Tradenames	N/A	24,629		—		24,629		20,420		—		20,420
		$	182,138	$	115,637	$	66,501	$	164,389	$	112,014	$	52,375

*The decrease in the Gross Carrying Value and Accumulated Amortization of Trademarks and tradenames is a result of the Milwaukee Cylinder business being held for sale as of November 30, 2019 and the impairment charge discussed in Note 5, "Discontinued Operations and Other Divestiture Activities." included the Trademarks and tradenames associated with that business being fully impaired.

The Company estimates that amortization expense will be $4.5 million for the remaining six months of fiscal 2020. Amortization expense for future years is estimated to be: $8.0 million in fiscal 2021, $7.3 million in fiscal 2022, $5.8 million in fiscal 2023, $4.2 million in fiscal 2024, $3.4 million in fiscal 2025 and $8.7 million cumulatively thereafter. The future amortization expense amounts represent estimates and may be impacted by future acquisitions, adjustments to preliminary purchase accounting estimates, divestitures or changes in foreign currency exchange rates, among other causes.

Fiscal 2019 Impairment Charges

Within the Other segment, the Company recognized $3.5 million and $13.7 million of Goodwill impairment charges for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019 related to the Cortland U.S. business in conjunction with triggering events identified during the periods.

Note 7. Product Warranty Costs

The Company generally offers its customers an assurance warranty on products sold, although warranty periods may vary by product type and application. The reserve for future warranty claims, which is recorded within the "Other current liabilities" line in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, is based on historical claim rates and current warranty cost experience. The following summarizes the changes in product warranty reserves for the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended

Total long-term debt, less current maturities	$	286,367		$	452,945

Senior Credit Facility

The Company's $600 million Senior Credit Facility is comprised of a $400 million revolving line of credit and provided for a $200 million term loan which was scheduled to mature in March 2024. It also provides the option for future expansion through a $300 million accordion on the revolving line of credit. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest based on LIBOR or a base rate, with interest rate spreads above LIBOR or the base rate being subject to adjustments based on the Company's net leverage ratio, ranging from 1.125% to 2.00% in the case of loans bearing interest at LIBOR and from 1.25% to 1.00% in the case of loans bearing interest at the base rate. In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused amount of the revolving line of credit ranging from 0.15% to 0.3% per annum, based on the Company's net leverage ratio.

The Senior Credit Facility contains two financial covenants which are a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75:1 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.5:1. For each covenant, certain transactions lead to adjustments to the underlying ratio, including a reduction of the minimum interest coverage ratio from 3.5 to 3.0 for any fiscal quarter ending within twelve months after the sale of the EC&S segment and an increase to the leverage ratio from 3.75 to 4.25 during the four fiscal quarters after a significant acquisition.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at February 29, 2020. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiary guarantors and certain equity interests owned by the foreign law pledgors.

In November 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of the EC&S segment to pay off the outstanding principal balance on the term loan. In conjunction, we expensed the remaining $0.6 million of associated capitalized debt issuance costs. As of February 29, 2020, the unused credit line and amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit was $394.9 million.

13

Senior Notes

On April 16, 2012, the Company issued $300 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”), of which $287.6 million remain outstanding. The Senior Notes require no principal installments prior to their June 15, 2022 maturity, require semiannual interest payments in December and June of each year and contain certain financial and non-financial covenants. The Senior Notes include a call feature that allows the Company to repurchase them anytime on or after June 15, 2017 at stated redemption prices currently at 100.9% and reducing to 100.0% on June 15, 2020, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurement

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated book value at both February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019 due to their short-term nature. The fair value of variable rate long-term debt approximated book value at August 31, 2019 as the interest rate approximated market rates (the Company had no variable rate debt outstanding as of February 29, 2020). Foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded at fair value. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency exchange contracts was a net liability of $0.1 million at February 29, 2020 and a net asset of less than $0.1 million at August 31, 2019. The fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts was based on quoted inactive market prices and is therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding Senior Notes was $289.8 million and $291.5 million at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of the Senior Notes was based on quoted inactive market prices and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Note 10. Derivatives

All derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Changes in the value of derivatives (not designated as hedges) are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability.

The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of its operations. In order to manage this risk, the Company utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the exchange rate risk associated with recognized non-functional currency balances. The effects of changes in exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts and the related non-functional currency asset or liability. These derivative gains and losses offset foreign currency gains and losses from the related revaluation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities (amounts included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations). The U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of these short duration foreign currency exchange contracts was $116.1 million and $13.3 million at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was a net liability of $0.1 million in February 29, 2020 and a net asset of less than $0.1 million at August 31, 2019. Net foreign currency (loss) gain (included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) related to these derivative instruments were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	February 29, 2020			February 28, 2019		February 29, 2020			February 28, 2019
Foreign currency (loss) gain, net	$	(376	)	$	227	$	(551	)	$	(2	)

The Company also uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge portions of our net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries (net investment hedge) against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. The change in the value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as net investment hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income where they offset gains and losses recorded on our net investments where the entity has a non-U.S. dollar functional currency. As of February 29, 2020, the notional value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as net investment hedges was $31.6 million. The Company recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) a loss of $0.2 million in the three months ended February 29, 2020.

Note 11. Earnings per Share and Shareholders' Equity

The Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company's common stock under publicly announced share repurchase programs. Since the inception of the initial share repurchase program in fiscal 2012, the Company has repurchased 22,295,357 shares of common stock for $658.0 million. As of February 29, 2020, the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the programs is 5,704,643 shares. During the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Company repurchased 839,789 shares for $17.8 million. No shares were purchased in the three months ended February 29, 2020.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The Company's global operations, acquisition activity and specific tax attributes provide opportunities for continuous global tax planning initiatives to maximize tax credits and deductions. Comparative earnings (loss) before income taxes, income tax expense and effective income tax rates from continuing operations are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	February 29, 2020			February 28, 2019			February 29, 2020			February 28, 2019
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense	$	4,724		$	4,767		$	12,046		$	(11,589	)
Income tax expense	806			4,002			1,756			4,068
Effective income tax rate	17.1		%	84.0		%	14.6		%	(35.1		)%

The Company’s earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes includes earnings from foreign jurisdictions in excess of 70% of the consolidated total for the estimated full-year fiscal 2020 and 2019. Overall, the annual effective tax rate is not significantly impacted by differences in foreign tax rates now that the U.S. tax rate of 21% is in line with the Company's average foreign tax rate. Both the current and prior year effective income tax rates were impacted by impairment & divestiture charges as well as accelerated debt issuance costs. Results included impairment & divestiture benefits of $0.8 million ($0.5 million after tax) and $2.1 million ($1.6 million after tax) for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020, respectively, as well as accelerated debt issuance costs of $0.6 million ($0.5 million after tax) for the six months ended February 29, 2020. This compares to impairment & divestiture charges of $3.5 million ($3.5 million after tax) and $27.0 million ($27.0 million after tax) for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019, respectively. Excluding the impairment & divestiture charges and accelerated debt issuance costs, the effective tax rate was 14.6% and 48.2% for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively, and 13.4% and 26.4% for the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively. The income tax expense without impairment & divestiture charges for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 is impacted by valuation allowance releases related to operational improvements and the ability to use tax attributes before expiration.

Note 13. Segment Information

The Company is a global manufacturer of a broad range of industrial products and solutions. The IT&S reportable segment is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools and in providing services and tool rental to the industrial, maintenance, infrastructure, oil & gas, energy and other markets. The Other operating segment is included for purposes of reconciliation of the respective balances below to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

*Excludes "Assets from discontinued operations" as of August 31, 2019.

In addition to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the comparability of segment and product line information is impacted by acquisition/divestiture activities, impairment and divestiture charges, restructuring costs and related benefits. Corporate assets, which are not allocated, principally represent cash and cash equivalents, capitalized debt issuance costs and deferred income taxes.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $13.8 million and $18.2 million at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively, the majority of which relate to commercial contracts and self-insured workers' compensation programs.

As part of the Company's global sourcing strategy, we have entered into agreements with certain suppliers that require the supplier to maintain minimum levels of inventory to support certain products for which we require a short lead time to fulfill customer orders. We have the ability to notify the supplier that they no longer need to maintain the minimum level of inventory should we discontinue manufacturing of a product during the contract period, however, we must purchase the remaining minimum inventory levels the supplier was required to maintain within a defined period of time.

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of business. These legal proceedings typically include product liability, breaches of contract, employment, personal injury and other disputes. The Company has recorded reserves for loss contingencies based on the specific circumstances of each case. Such reserves are recorded when it is probable a loss has been incurred and can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, resolution of these contingencies is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

19

The Company remains contingently liable for lease payments under leases of businesses that it previously divested or spun-off in the event that such businesses are unable to fulfill their future lease payment obligations, however, the Company does not believe it is probable that it will be required to satisfy these obligations. Future minimum lease payments for these leases at February 29, 2020 were $7.7 million associated with monthly payments extending to fiscal 2025.

As previously disclosed, the Company filed a voluntary self-disclosure ("VSD") with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) in October 2018 regarding otherwise authorized sales of tools and other products totaling approximately $0.5 million by certain of its foreign subsidiaries to two Iranian distributors, which sales potentially fell outside the scope of General License H under the Iranian Transaction and Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 560. The VSD also included information about additional transactions by certain of the Company's Dutch subsidiaries with a counterparty in Estonia that may have been in violation of E.O. 13685, as certain sales of products and services may have been diverted to the Crimea region of Ukraine. In February 2020, OFAC issued the Company a Cautionary Letter as its final enforcement response. Accordingly, the matter has concluded with no adverse impact to the Company's financial results.

Additionally, the Company has self-disclosed the sales to its Estonian customer to relevant authorities in the Netherlands as potentially violating applicable sanctions laws in that country and the European Union. The investigation by authorities in the Netherlands is ongoing and may result in penalties. At this time, the Company cannot predict when the investigation will be completed or reasonably estimate what penalties, if any, will be assessed. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome of the Netherlands investigation, the Company currently believes that there will be no material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 15. Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 on September 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and as a result did not adjust prior periods. See Note 1, “Basis of Presentation” for further discussion of the adoption.

As of February 29, 2020, the Company has operating leases for real estate, vehicles, manufacturing equipment, IT equipment and office equipment. The Company did not have any financing leases during the three and six months ended February 29, 2020. Our real estate leases are generally for office, warehouse and manufacturing facilities typically ranging in term from 5 to 15 years and may contain renewal options for periods up to 3 years at our discretion. Our equipment leases are generally for vehicles, manufacturing and IT equipment typically ranging in term from 3 to 7 years and may contain renewal options for periods up to one year at our discretion. Our leases generally contain payments that are primarily fixed; however, certain lease arrangements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities. These amounts include payments affected by changes in the Consumer Price Index and executory costs (such as real estate taxes, utilities and common-area maintenance), which are based on usage or performance. In addition, our leases generally do not include material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract and identify classification of the lease as financing or operating. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We account for the underlying operating lease asset at the individual lease level. Operating leases are recorded as operating lease ROU assets in “Other long-term assets” and operating lease liabilities in “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

All leases greater than 12 months result in recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date and are recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease term is equal to the initial term at commencement plus any renewal or extension options that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised. ROU assets at the date of commencement are equal to the amount of the initial lease liability, the initial direct costs incurred by the Company and any prepaid lease payments less any incentives received. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term or remaining useful life. As most of our leases do not provide the information required to determine the implicit rate, we utilize a consolidated group incremental borrowing rate for all leases as the Company has centralized treasury operations. The incremental borrowing rate is derived through a combination of inputs such as the Company's credit rating, impact of collaborated borrowing capabilities and lease term.

The Company considers contract modifications when there is a change to the contractual terms, scope of the lease or the consideration given. In the event the right to use an additional asset is granted and the lease payments associated with the additional asset are commensurate with the ROU asset’s standalone price, the modification is accounted for as a separate contract and the original contract remains unchanged. In the event that a single lease is modified, the Company reassesses the classification of the modified lease as of the effective date of the modification based on the modified terms and accounts for initial direct costs, lease incentives and any other payments made to or by the Company in connection with the modification in the same manner that items would be accounted for in connection with a new lease. If there is an additional ROU asset included, the lease term is extended or reduced, or the consideration is the only change in the contract, the Company reallocates the remaining consideration in the contract and remeasures the lease liability using a discount rate determined at the effective date of the modification. The remeasured lease liability for the modified lease is an adjustment to the corresponding ROU asset and does not impact the Condensed Consolidated

20

Statements of Operations. In the event of a full or partial termination, the carrying value of the ROU asset decreases on a basis proportionate to the full or partial termination and any difference between the reduction in the lease liability and the proportionate reduction of the ROU asset is recognized as a gain or loss at the effective date of the modification.

The Company elected not to recognize short-term leases on its balance sheet and continues to expense such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The components of lease expense for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended February 29, 2020		Six Months Ended February 29, 2020

Note 16. Subsequent Events

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the world and has led certain countries or jurisdictions within to restrict travel or social gatherings (including at places of business). In addition, in March 2020, as a result of the weakened demand for oil resulting from COVID-19 in addition to political tensions between several large oil producing countries, there has been a substantial decline in oil prices. The Company's results of operations and financial condition will be negatively impacted through the duration of the pandemic and the low oil prices, but that impact cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainty associated with i) the duration of the pandemic (though expected to be short term) and the low oil prices and ii) the extent of the impact during the duration on the Company's facilities and employees, customer demand, and availability of materials through supply channels. As such, there could be a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

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

Enerpac Tool Group Corp. is a premier industrial tools and services company serving a broad and diverse set of customers in more than 90 countries. The Company is a global leader in the engineering and manufacturing of high pressure hydraulic tools, controlled force products and solutions for precise positioning of heavy loads that help customers safely and reliably tackle some of the most challenging jobs around the world. The Company was founded in 1910 and is headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. The Company has one reportable segment, Industrial Tools & Service ("IT&S"). This segment is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools, as well as providing services and tool rental to the industrial, maintenance, infrastructure, oil & gas, energy and other markets. Financial information related to the Company's reportable segment is included in Note 13, "Segment Information" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our businesses provide an array of products and services across multiple markets and geographies which results in significant diversification. The IT&S segment continues to have exposure within the broad industrial landscape, energy and infrastructure markets. We continue to execute our strategy to drive best in class returns for our shareholders, demonstrated by our acquisition of HTL Group. While we are confident in the progress we are making on our strategy, the recent market interruption from both the COVID-19 pandemic and volatile oil pricing, currently we are unable to provide specific estimates on fiscal 2020 core sales growth, operating profit, or other financial metrics. For the remainder of fiscal 2020, we are taking cost savings actions we believe will achieve our targeted EBITDA margin run rate of 20%.

On October 31, 2019, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its former EC&S segment to wholly owned subsidiaries of BRWS Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners II, LP, for a purchase price of approximately $215 million, with approximately $3 million due in four equal quarterly installments through October 31, 2020.

On March 21, 2019, we announced a restructuring plan focused on i) the integration of the Enerpac and Hydratight businesses (IT&S segment), ii) the strategic exit of certain commodity type services in our North America Services operation (IT&S segment), and iii) driving efficiencies within the overall corporate structure. Total restructuring charges associated with this restructuring plan were $2 million and $3 million in the three and six months ended February 29, 2020, respectively, related primarily to headcount reductions and facility consolidations. The Company still expects to achieve a total of $12-$15 million of annual savings with total restructuring costs of $10-$15 million. After the announcement and execution of the remaining actions in March 2020, we will effectively be completed with this restructuring plan. The annual benefit of these gross cost savings may be impacted by a number of factors, including sales and production volume variances and annual incentive compensation differentials.

The Company also incurred less than $1 million of restructuring costs within the Other operating segment in the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 associated with a facilities consolidation. The consolidation is in the final stages and we expect to incur less than $1 million of additional restructuring charges over the remainder of fiscal 2020. We anticipate realizing approximately $3 million of annual savings associated with the actions and expect to start realizing these savings in fiscal 2020.

Given our global footprint, changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a significant impact on our financial results, financial position and cash flow. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will continue to add volatility as over one-half of our sales are generated outside of the United States in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The weakening of the U.S. dollar favorably impacts our sales, cash flow and earnings given the translation of our international results into U.S. dollars. This also results in lower costs for certain international operations, which incur costs or purchase components in U.S. dollars, and increases the dollar value of assets (including cash) and liabilities of our international operations. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar has the opposite effect on our sales, cash flow, earnings and financial position.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth our results of continuing operations (in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended									Six Months Ended
	February 29, 2020					February 28, 2019				February 29, 2020					February 28, 2019

Diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations	$	0.06				$	0.01			$	0.17				$	(0.26	)

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 were $133 million, a decrease of $27 million (17%) from the prior year comparative. Core sales decreased $15 million (10%) after adjusting for the $12 million (8%) decrease from divested product lines and strategic exits of certain service offerings, and a $2 million (1%) increase from the HTL Group acquisition and minimal changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Gross profit margins increased 3% as a result of the aforementioned divested product lines and strategic exits. Operating profit was lower in fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019 largely as a result of the decreased volumes as well as increased restructuring charges associated with our restructuring plan announced in March 2019, partially offset by lower Selling, administrative and engineering expenses ("SAE") costs resulting from that restructuring plan and decreased impairment & divestiture charges ($4 million of charges in fiscal 2019 as a result of the held for sale treatment of the Cortland U.S. business as compared to a net $1 million benefit in the current year from divestiture activities associated with non-core product lines and business).

Consolidated net sales for the six months ended February 29, 2020 decreased $38 million (12%) to $280 million in fiscal 2020. Core sales decreased $16 million (5%) after adjusting for the $21 million (7%) decrease from divested product lines and strategic exits of certain service offerings and a $2 million (1%) increase from the HTL Group acquisition. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had minimal impact to net sales. Gross profit margins increased 2% as a result of the aforementioned divested product lines and strategic exits. Operating profit was higher in fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019 largely as a result of impairment & divestiture charges of $27 million (largely a result of the held for sale treatment of Cortland U.S. business) in fiscal 2019 offset by the decrease in volume.

Segment Results

IT&S segment net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased by $27 million (17%). Core sales decreased $17 million year-over-year (11%). Strategic exits and divestitures of non-core product lines accounted for an additional $12 million (8%) decrease, offset by an increase of $2 million (1%) associated with the acquisition of HTL Group. Changes in foreign currency had an inconsequential impact. The core sales decrease of 11% was predominantly a result of the continued global economic uncertainty primarily in North America, the Middle East and Asia and significantly lower year-over-year service sales as large projects in the Middle East and Asia in fiscal 2019 did not repeat in fiscal 2020.

Operating profit % decreased 1.1% from the prior year comparative primarily due to reduced volumes.

Year-to-date IT&S segment net sales decreased by $39 million (13%) to $259 million in fiscal 2020. Strategic exits and divestitures of non-core product lines accounted for $21 million (7%) of the decrease while core sales decreased $16 million (6%) year-over-year. These decreases were partially offset due to the $2.0 million (1%) of net sales from the acquisition of HTL Group. Changes in foreign currency had minimal impact on net sales. The 6% decrease in core sales predominantly was a result of the global economic uncertainty, predominantly in North America, and significantly lower year-over-year service sales as large projects in the Middle East and Asia in fiscal 2019 did not repeat in fiscal 2020.

Year-to-date operating profit decreased $6 million from the prior year. The-year-to-date operating profit decrease was a result of the decrease in core sales, slightly offset by lower SAE expenses and the strategic exit and divestiture of certain non-core product lines.

Corporate

Corporate expenses decreased by $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020, respectively. The quarter-to-date decrease was the result of positive experience in medical claims, reduced business travel and lower legal costs, offset by $0.7 million of restructuring charges taken in the quarter as part of our strategic efforts to drive efficiency in the overall Corporate structure. The year-to-date decrease is a result of the positive experience in medical claims, reduced business travel and lower legal costs, offset by $1 million of restructuring expenses associated with our strategic efforts to drive efficiency in the overall corporate structure and an increase in business development costs, including costs directly associated with the acquisition of HTL group.

Financing Costs, net

Net financing costs were $4.6 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively. For the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, net financing costs were $11.4 million and $14.5 million, respectively. Financing costs decreased as a result of lower outstanding balances on our Senior Credit Facility during the three and six months ended February 29, 2020, especially in the three months ended February 29, 2020 as a result of the early pay off of the remaining balance on the term loan in early November. The benefit from lower cash interest expense was partially offset in the six months ended February 29, 2020 as a result of expensing the remaining $0.6 million of capitalized debt issuance costs associated with the term loan upon the early pay off of the outstanding principal balance.

Income Tax Expense

The Company's global operations, acquisition activity and specific tax attributes provide opportunities for continuous global tax planning initiatives to maximize tax credits and deductions. Comparative earnings (loss) before income taxes, income tax expense and effective income tax rates from continuing operations are as follows (in millions):

25

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	February 29, 2020			February 28, 2019			February 29, 2020			February 28, 2019
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense	$	5		$	5		$	12		$	(12	)
Income tax expense	1			4			2			4
Effective income tax rate	17.1		%	84.0		%	14.6		%	(35.1		)%

The Company’s earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes includes earnings from foreign jurisdictions in excess of 70% of the consolidated total for the estimated full-year fiscal 2020 and 2019. Overall, the annual effective tax rate is not significantly impacted by differences in foreign tax rates now that the U.S. tax rate of 21% is in line with the Company's average foreign tax rate. Both the current and prior year effective income tax rates were impacted by impairment & divestiture charges as well as accelerated debt issuance costs. Results included impairment & divestiture benefits of $0.8 million ($0.5 million after tax) and $2.1 million ($1.6 million after tax) for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020, respectively, as well as accelerated debt issuance costs of $0.6 million ($0.5 million after tax) for the six months ended February 29, 2020. This compares to impairment & divestiture charges of $3.5 million ($3.5 million after tax) and $27.0 million ($27.0 million after tax) for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019, respectively. Excluding the impairment & divestiture charges and accelerated debt issuance costs, the effective tax rate was 14.6% and 48.2% for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively, and 13.4% and 26.4% for the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively. The income tax expense without impairment & divestiture charges for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 is impacted by valuation allowance releases related to operational improvements and the ability to use tax attributes before expiration.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

At February 29, 2020, we had $163 million of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents included $154 million of cash held by our foreign subsidiaries and $9 million held domestically. The following table summarizes our cash flows (used in) provided by operating, investing and financing activities (in millions):

	Six Months Ended
	February 29, 2020			February 28, 2019
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(29	)	$	(51	)
Net cash provided by investing activities	177			21
Net cash used in financing activities	(196		)	(50		)
Effect of exchange rates on cash	—			—
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents*	$	(48	)	$	(80	)

*The table above includes activity associated with our discontinued operations (former EC&S segment), which was operational for the full period in the six months ended February 28, 2019 and included normal activity through the divestiture on October 31, 2019 in the six month period ended February 29, 2020 and ancillary cash flow impacts subsequent to the divestiture date.

Net cash used in operating activities was $29 million for the six months ended February 29, 2020 as compared to $51 million in the six months ended February 28, 2019. The net use of cash is consistent with historical results of operations in the period as a result the payment of our annual bonus compensation and build of working capital. The decrease in cash used by operating activities in fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019 was a result of improved working capital management in our continuing operations whereby primary working capital was a use of cash of $22 million in fiscal 2019 as compared to a use of cash of $2 million in fiscal 2020, the benefit from the divestiture of our EC&S segment which historically generated negative cash flows from operations during this period, and a decrease in bonus compensation paid in fiscal 2020 as compared to that paid in fiscal 2019.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $177 million in fiscal 2020 as compared to $21 million in fiscal 2019. The increase of $156 million was a result of proceeds net of transactions costs from the sale of the EC&S segment ($209 million) and non-core product lines ($9 million) in fiscal 2020, offset by the cash outflow from the acquisition of HTL Group in January 2020 ($33 million) and the cash inflow from the sale of Cortland Fibron and Precision Hayes International for combined net proceeds of $36 million in the six months ended February 28, 2019.

Net cash used in financing activities was $196 million for the six months ended February 29, 2020 compared to $50 million for the six months ended February 28, 2019. The cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2020 consisted primarily of the early pay off of the outstanding principal balance on the term loan of $175 million and treasury share repurchases of $18 million, which compared to $48 million of principal repayments on the term loan in the six months ended February 28, 2019 and no share repurchase activity.

26

The Company's $600 million Senior Credit Facility is comprised of a $400 million revolving line of credit and provided for a $200 million term loan which was scheduled to mature in March 2024 (see Note 8, "Debt" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of the Senior Credit Facility). As previously noted, the Company paid off the outstanding principal balance on the term loan in November 2019. The unused credit line and amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit was $395 million at February 29, 2020.

We believe that the revolving line of credit, combined with our existing cash on hand and anticipated operating cash flows, will be adequate to meet operating, debt service, acquisition and capital expenditure funding requirements for the foreseeable future.

Primary Working Capital Management

We use primary working capital as a percentage of sales (PWC %) as a key metric of working capital management. We define this metric as the sum of net accounts receivable and net inventory less accounts payable, divided by the past three months sales annualized. The following table shows a comparison of primary working capital (in millions):

	February 29, 2020			PWC%		August 31, 2019			PWC%
Accounts receivable, net	$	113		21	%	$	126		20	%
Inventory, net	78			15	%	77			12	%
Accounts payable	(62		)	(12	)%	(77		)	(12	)%
Net primary working capital	$	129		24	%	$	126		20	%

Commitments and Contingencies

We are contingently liable for certain lease payments under leases within businesses we previously divested or spun-off. If any of these businesses do not fulfill their future lease payment obligations under a lease, we could be liable for such obligations, however, the Company does not believe it is probable that it will be required to satisfy these obligations. Future minimum lease payments for these leases at February 29, 2020 were $8 million with monthly payments extending to fiscal 2025.

We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $14 million and $18 million at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively, the majority of which relate to commercial contracts and self-insured workers' compensation programs.

We are also subject to certain contingencies with respect to legal proceedings and regulatory matters which are described in Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company believes that there will be no material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations have materially changed in fiscal 2020 from what was previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Contractual Obligations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2019 as a result of the divestiture of our EC&S segment, specifically related to lease commitments disclosed therein. See Note 15, "Leases" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for disclosure of our future contractual obligations from our continuing operations with respect to Leases as of February 29, 2020.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

As discussed in Note 8, “Debt”, on April 16, 2012, Enerpac Tool Group Corp. (the “Parent”) issued $300 million of the Senior Notes, of which $288 million remained outstanding as of February 29, 2020. Certain material, domestic wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) fully and unconditionally guarantee the Senior Notes on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to make distributions to the Parent. The other subsidiaries of the Company do not guarantee the Senior Notes (such subsidiaries are referred to as the "non-Guarantors").

The Guarantors jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guarantee the payment of the principal and premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes when due, whether at stated maturity of the Senior Notes, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the holders of the Senior Notes and to the trustee under the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “Indenture”) (all such obligations guaranteed by the Guarantors are referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor and rank equal with all existing and future senior debt of such Guarantor and senior to all subordinated debt of such Guarantor. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured debt of such Guarantor to the extent of the assets securing such debt.

27

Each guarantee of a Guarantor is limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed that will not (after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of all other Guarantors in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantors under their respective guarantees of the Guaranteed Obligations) render the guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers. The Indenture provides that in the event of (a) a sale or other transfer or disposition of all of the capital stock of any Guarantor to any person (other than to the Company or one or more of its “Restricted Subsidiaries,” which term is defined in the Indenture) in compliance with the terms of the Indenture, (b) in the event all or substantially all the assets or capital stock of a Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to such a person in compliance with the terms of the Indenture or (c) the release or discharge of such Guarantor from its guarantee of debt under the Senior Credit Facility or the replacement therefor (including by reason of the termination of the Senior Credit Facility and its replacement) or the guarantee that resulted in the obligation of such Guarantor to guarantee the Senior Notes, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee, then such Guarantor (or the person concurrently acquiring such assets of such Guarantor) shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged of any obligations under its guarantee; provided that, in the case of an event described in clauses (a) or (b) above, the Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the Indenture) of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture.

The following tables present summarized financial information for the Parent and the Guarantors on a combined basis after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances among the Parent and the Guarantors and (ii) equity in earnings from and investments in any subsidiary that is a non-Guarantor.

Net sales	$	98
Gross profit	65
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations*	(3		)
Loss from discontinued operations	(4		)
Net loss	$	(7	)

*Includes $8 million of loss associated with intercompany expenses from non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Long-term assets	167	138
LIABILITIES & SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Long-term liabilities*	795	926

*Includes liabilities due to non-guarantor subsidiaries of $431 million and $416 million as of February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019.

The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the non-Guarantors. The non-Guarantors are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the Senior Notes or the Indenture, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans, distributions or other payments. Any right that the Company or the Guarantors have to receive any assets of any of the non-Guarantors upon the liquidation or reorganization of any non-Guarantor, and the consequent rights of holders of Senior Notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of a non-Guarantor’s assets, would be effectively subordinated to the claims of such non-Guarantor’s creditors, including trade creditors and holders of preferred equity interests, if any, of such non-Guarantor. Accordingly, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the non-Guarantors, the non-Guarantors will pay the holders of their debts, holders of preferred equity interests, if any, and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Company or any of the Guarantors.

If a Guarantor were to become a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or encounter other financial difficulty, under federal or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law, a court may avoid, subordinate or otherwise decline to enforce its guarantee of the Senior Notes. A court might do so if it is found that when such Guarantor entered into its guarantee of the Senior Notes, or in some states when payments became due under the Senior Notes, such Guarantor received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and either:

• was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; 

28

• was left with unreasonably small or otherwise inadequate capital to conduct its business; or

•     believed or reasonably should have believed that it would incur debts beyond its ability to pay.

The court might also avoid the guarantee of the Senior Notes without regard to the above factors, if the court found that the Guarantor entered into its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud our creditors.

A court would likely find that a Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee of the Senior Notes, if such Guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the funding made available by the issuance of the Senior Notes. If a court were to avoid a guarantee of the Senior Notes provided by a Guarantor, holders of the Senior Notes would no longer have any claim against such Guarantor. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer or conveyance has occurred, such that we cannot predict what standards a court would use to determine whether or not a Guarantor was solvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the guarantee of a Guarantor would not be subordinated to such Guarantor’s other debt. As noted above, each guarantee provided by a Guarantor includes a provision intended to limit the Guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. This provision may not be effective to protect those guarantees from being avoided under fraudulent transfer or conveyance law, or it may reduce that Guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its guarantee worthless, and we cannot predict whether a court will ultimately find it to be effective.

On the basis of historical financial information, operating history and other factors, we believe that each of the Guarantors, after giving effect to the issuance of its guarantee of the Senior Notes when such guarantee was issued, was not insolvent, did not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it engaged and did not and has not incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management has evaluated the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and believe those estimates to be reasonable and appropriate. Certain of these accounting estimates are considered by management to be the most critical in understanding judgments involved in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flow. For information about more of the Company’s policies, methodology and assumptions related to critical accounting policies refer to the Critical Accounting Policies in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2019.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The diverse nature of our business activities necessitates the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity costs.

Interest Rate Risk: We manage interest expense using a mixture of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. A change in interest rates impacts the fair value of our 5.625% Senior Notes, but not our earnings or cash flow, because the interest rate on such debt is fixed. As of February 29, 2020, our variable-rate funding sources consisted primarily of the revolving line of credit under our Senior Credit Facility. However, we do not have any borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit as of February 29, 2020.

Foreign Currency Risk: We maintain operations in the U.S. and various foreign countries. Our more significant non-U.S. operations are located in Australia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates and China, and we have foreign currency risk relating to receipts from customers, payments to suppliers and intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Under certain conditions, we enter into hedging transactions (primarily foreign currency exchange contracts) that enable us to mitigate the potential adverse impact of foreign currency exchange rate risk (see Note 10, “Derivatives” for further information). We do not engage in trading or other speculative activities with these transactions, as established policies require that these hedging transactions relate to specific currency exposures.

The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most currencies can have an unfavorable impact on our results of operations and financial position as foreign denominated operating results are translated into U.S. dollars. To illustrate the potential impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of our results of operations, quarterly sales and operating profit were remeasured assuming a ten percent decrease in all foreign exchange rates compared with the U.S. dollar. Using this assumption, quarterly sales would have been lower by $5 million and operating profit would have been lower by $2 million, respectively, for the three months ended February 29, 2020. This sensitivity analysis assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar and excludes the potential effects that changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have on sales levels or local currency prices. Similarly, a ten percent decline in foreign currency exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar would result in a $39 million reduction to equity (accumulated other comprehensive loss) as of February 29, 2020, as a result of non U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities being translated into U.S. dollars, our reporting currency.

Commodity Cost Risk: We source a wide variety of materials and components from a network of global suppliers. While such materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials, such as steel and plastic resin, are subject to price fluctuations, which could have a negative impact on our results. We strive to pass along such commodity price increases to customers to avoid profit margin erosion.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended February 29, 2020 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A – Risk Factors

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by global public health epidemics, including  the strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19 and the recent disruption in the global oil markets and resulting substantial price decline.

Our business, consolidated results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected if a global public health pandemic, including COVID-19, interferes with the ability of our employees, vendors, and customers to perform our and their respective responsibilities and obligations relative to the conduct of our business. A global public health pandemic, including COVID-19, poses the risk that we or our employees, vendors, customers may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities, restrictions on travel to or from locations where we provide service, or restrictions on shipping products from certain jurisdictions where they are produced or into certain jurisdictions where customers are located. As a result of the decrease in demand for oil as a result of the disruption expected to be caused by COVID-19 in addition to political tensions between several large oil producing countries, there has been a substantial decline in oil prices. As indicated in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-k for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, a substantial portion of our revenues are derived from customers in the oil & gas industry which are typically adversely affected when this industry is in a downward economic cycle. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the decline in oil prices will impact our business remains uncertain, however, there could be a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019. Except as required by the federal securities law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any risk factor, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds    

The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock under publicly announced share repurchase programs. Since the inception of the initial share repurchase program in fiscal 2012, the Company has repurchased 22,295,357 shares of common stock for $658.0 million. As of February 29, 2020, the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the programs is 5,704,643 shares. There were no share repurchases in the three months ended February 29, 2020

Note 5. Discontinued Operations and Other Divestiture Activities

Discontinued Operations

On October 31, 2019, as part of our overall strategy to become a pure-play industrial tools and services company, the Company completed the previously announced sale of the businesses comprising its former Engineered Components & Systems ("EC&S") segment to wholly owned subsidiaries of BRWS Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners II, LP, for a purchase price of approximately $214.5 million (which included approximately $3.0 million to be paid in four equal quarterly installments after closing, of which $0.7 million was received in the three months ended February 29, 2020). In connection with the completion of the sale in the three months ended November 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net loss of $4.2 million comprised of a loss of $22.4 million representing the excess of the net assets (exclusive of deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with subsidiaries of the Company whose stock was sold as part of the transaction) as compared to the purchase price less costs to sell and the recognition in earnings of the cumulative effect of foreign currency exchange gains and losses during the quarter largely offset by an income tax benefit of $18.2 million associated with the write off of the net deferred tax liability on subsidiaries of the EC&S segment for which the stock was divested. The Company also recognized an additional $3.3 million of impairment & divestiture costs in the three months ended November 30, 2019 associated with the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards associated with employees terminated as part of the transaction and $2.7 million of additional divestiture charges which were necessary to complete the transaction. In the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company also incurred approximately $0.3 million of additional miscellaneous divestiture related costs. The final loss on the sale is subject to the customary negotiation of final working capital amounts.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company determined that the Precision Hayes business was a non-core asset, did not align with the strategic objectives of the Company and, as a result, the Company committed to a plan to sell this business. The Company completed the sale of the Precision Hayes business on December 31, 2018 for $23.6 million cash net of final transaction costs, working capital adjustments, accelerated vesting of equity compensation, retention bonuses and other adjustments which were recognized within the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company recorded $0.0 million and $9.5 million of impairment & divestiture charges during the three and six months ended February 28, 2019, respectively, of which the charges for the six-month period represented the excess of the net book value of the net assets held for sale less the anticipated proceeds, less costs to sell.

The Company completed the sale of the Cortland Fibron business on December 19, 2018 for $12.5 million in cash. During the three and six months ended February 28, 2019, the Company recognized $2.6 million and $4.3 million of impairment & divestiture charges associated with the divestiture of the Cortland Fibron business.

In addition to the above disclosed matters, the Company also incurred $0.9 million and $2.5 million of divestiture related costs during the three and six months ended February 29, 2020, respectively.

As the aforementioned divestitures were a part of our strategic shift to become a pure-play industrial tools and services company, the results of their operations (including the stated impairment & divestiture charges) are recorded as a component of "Loss from discontinued operations" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

The following represents the detail of "(Loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes" within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Net (loss) earnings from discontinued operations	$	(1,756	)	$	1,988		$	(6,007	)	$	958

* "(Loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes" for the periods presented in fiscal 2020 include the results of the EC&S segment for the two months ended October 31, 2019 (the divestiture date) as well as the ancillary impacts from certain retained liabilities subsequent to the divestiture. As a result of the classification of the segment as assets and liabilities held for sale for the two months ended October 31, 2019, the Company did not record amortization or depreciation expense in the results of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, the Company excluded EC&S segment employees from the fiscal 2020 bonus compensation plan, hence there are no expenses associated with the plan for that period.

Other Divestiture Activities

On September 20, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the UNI-LIFT product line, a component of our Milwaukee Cylinder business (IT&S segment) for net cash proceeds of $6.0 million, which resulted in an impairment & divestiture benefit of $4.6 million in the three months ended November 30, 2019. In the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company recorded an additional benefit of $0.1 million related to agreement with the buyer on final working capital amounts and various other benefits. In March 2020, the buyer of the UNI-LIFT product line extended a long-term supply agreement with a significant customer. Pursuant to the sales agreement, this action triggered the requirement for the buyer to pay $1.5 million of contingent proceeds and payment was subsequently received by the Company. These contingent proceeds were not reflected within the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended February 29, 2020, but will be reflected within the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ending May 31, 2020.

After the sale of the UNI-LIFT product line, the Company determined that the remaining Milwaukee Cylinder business was a non-core asset, did not align with the strategic objectives of the Company and, as a result, the Company committed to a plan to sell

this business. We recorded impairment & divestiture charges of $4.6 million in the three months ended November 30, 2019 comprised of impairment charges of $2.5 million representing the excess of net assets held for sale compared to the anticipated proceeds less costs to sell, $1.9 million associated with our requirement to withdraw from the multi-employer pension plan associated with that business and $0.2 million of other divestiture related charges. The Company completed the divestiture of the Milwaukee Cylinder business on December 2, 2019 for a negligible amount. In the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company recorded inconsequential amounts of impairment & divestiture charges. The historical results of the Milwaukee Cylinder business, inclusive of the UNI-LIFT product line, (which had net sales of $4.3 million in the three months ended February 28, 2019 and $2.9 million and $7.1 million in the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively) are not material to the condensed consolidated financial results.

On October 22, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the Connectors product line (IT&S segment) for net cash proceeds of $2.7 million, which resulted in an impairment & divestiture benefit of $1.3 million in the three months ended November 30. 2019. During the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company recorded $0.1 million of impairment & divestiture charges related to working capital adjustment. The historical results of the Connectors product line (which had net sales of $1.0 million in the three months ended February 28, 2019 and $0.2 million and $2.5 million in the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively) are not material to the condensed consolidated financial results.

At February 29, 2020, the Company determined that it was no longer probable that a loss will occur related to an outstanding legal matter associated with a previously divested business, as such, recorded an impairment & divestiture benefit of $0.8 million in the three months ended February 29, 2020.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurement

Note 9. Fair Value Measurement

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated book value at both February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019 due to their short-term nature. The fair value of variable rate long-term debt approximated book value at August 31, 2019 as the interest rate approximated market rates (the Company had no variable rate debt outstanding as of February 29, 2020). Foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded at fair value. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency exchange contracts was a net liability of $0.1 million at February 29, 2020 and a net asset of less than $0.1 million at August 31, 2019. The fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts was based on quoted inactive market prices and is therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding Senior Notes was $289.8 million and $291.5 million at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of the Senior Notes was based on quoted inactive market prices and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (and subsequently ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2019-01), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset. The amendments also expanded disclosure requirements for key information about leasing arrangements. On September 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard using a modified retrospective approach and through implementing selected third-party lease software utilized as a central repository for all leases. The Company elected the package of practical expedients allowing us to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and initial direct costs for leases that commenced prior to September 1, 2019. In addition, we elected not to recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases containing terms of 12 months or less and not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes. The Company updated its standard lease accounting policy to address the new standard, revised the Company’s business processes and controls to align to the updated policy and new standard and completed the implementation of and data input into the Company’s lease accounting software solution. The most significant impact of the standard on the Company was the recognition of a $60.8 million ROU asset and operating lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at adoption. The standard did not have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, as a result of sale leaseback transactions in previous years for which gains were deferred and under the new standard would have been recognized, the Company recorded an increase to retained earnings of $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which represents the recognition of these previously deferred gains. See Note 15, “Leases” for further discussion of the Company’s operating leases.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in their consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the guidance on September1, 2019 and recorded an increase to retained earnings with an offsetting increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.7 million on the adoption date.

Subsequent Events [Text Block]

Note 16. Subsequent Events

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the world and has led certain countries or jurisdictions within to restrict travel or social gatherings (including at places of business). In addition, in March 2020, as a result of the weakened demand for oil resulting from COVID-19 in addition to political tensions between several large oil producing countries, there has been a substantial decline in oil prices. The Company's results of operations and financial condition will be negatively impacted through the duration of the pandemic and the low oil prices, but that impact cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainty associated with i) the duration of the pandemic (though expected to be short term) and the low oil prices and ii) the extent of the impact during the duration on the Company's facilities and employees, customer demand, and availability of materials through supply channels. As such, there could be a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The Company's global operations, acquisition activity and specific tax attributes provide opportunities for continuous global tax planning initiatives to maximize tax credits and deductions. Comparative earnings (loss) before income taxes, income tax expense and effective income tax rates from continuing operations are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	February 29, 2020			February 28, 2019			February 29, 2020			February 28, 2019

Effective income tax rate	17.1		%	84.0		%	14.6		%	(35.1		)%

The Company’s earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes includes earnings from foreign jurisdictions in excess of 70% of the consolidated total for the estimated full-year fiscal 2020 and 2019. Overall, the annual effective tax rate is not significantly impacted by differences in foreign tax rates now that the U.S. tax rate of 21% is in line with the Company's average foreign tax rate. Both the current and prior year effective income tax rates were impacted by impairment & divestiture charges as well as accelerated debt issuance costs. Results included impairment & divestiture benefits of $0.8 million ($0.5 million after tax) and $2.1 million ($1.6 million after tax) for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020, respectively, as well as accelerated debt issuance costs of $0.6 million ($0.5 million after tax) for the six months ended February 29, 2020. This compares to impairment & divestiture charges of $3.5 million ($3.5 million after tax) and $27.0 million ($27.0 million after tax) for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019, respectively. Excluding the impairment & divestiture charges and accelerated debt issuance costs, the effective tax rate was 14.6% and 48.2% for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively, and 13.4% and 26.4% for the six months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively. The income tax expense without impairment & divestiture charges for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 is impacted by valuation allowance releases related to operational improvements and the ability to use tax attributes before expiration.

Acquisitions [Abstract]

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 4.    Acquisitions

On January 7, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of HTL Group ("HTL"), a provider of controlled bolting products and calibration and repair services, as well as a strong rental business. The tuck-in acquisition of HTL now provides the Company with a complete bolting line of products and enhances our European rental capabilities. The Company acquired all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of HTL for a purchase price of $33.4 million, net of cash acquired. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in $8.6 million of goodwill (which is not deductible for tax purposes), $18.0 million of intangible assets, and $7.3 million of property, plant and equipment. The impact on the remaining balance sheet line items was not material. The intangible assets were comprised of $3.7 million of indefinite-lived tradenames, $13.6 million of amortizable customer relationships and $0.7 million of amortizable patents. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. While the Company believes these preliminary estimates provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it will continue to evaluate available information prior to finalization of the amounts. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of rental assets acquired (component of property, plant, and equipment), intangible assets and the resulting impact on deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

The Company incurred transaction costs of $0.2 million for both the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 (included in "Selling, administrative and engineering expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) related to this acquisition.

This acquisition generated net sales of $2.0 million for the three months ended February 29, 2020 which are reported within the IT&S reportable segment. This acquisition does not meet the significance tests to require pro forma financial information otherwise required for acquisitions.

Senior Credit Facility

The Company's $600 million Senior Credit Facility is comprised of a $400 million revolving line of credit and provided for a $200 million term loan which was scheduled to mature in March 2024. It also provides the option for future expansion through a $300 million accordion on the revolving line of credit. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest based on LIBOR or a base rate, with interest rate spreads above LIBOR or the base rate being subject to adjustments based on the Company's net leverage ratio, ranging from 1.125% to 2.00% in the case of loans bearing interest at LIBOR and from 1.25% to 1.00% in the case of loans bearing interest at the base rate. In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused amount of the revolving line of credit ranging from 0.15% to 0.3% per annum, based on the Company's net leverage ratio.

The Senior Credit Facility contains two financial covenants which are a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75:1 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.5:1. For each covenant, certain transactions lead to adjustments to the underlying ratio, including a reduction of the minimum interest coverage ratio from 3.5 to 3.0 for any fiscal quarter ending within twelve months after the sale of the EC&S segment and an increase to the leverage ratio from 3.75 to 4.25 during the four fiscal quarters after a significant acquisition.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at February 29, 2020. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiary guarantors and certain equity interests owned by the foreign law pledgors.

In November 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of the EC&S segment to pay off the outstanding principal balance on the term loan. In conjunction, we expensed the remaining $0.6 million of associated capitalized debt issuance costs. As of February 29, 2020, the unused credit line and amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit was $394.9 million.

Senior Notes

On April 16, 2012, the Company issued $300 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”), of which $287.6 million remain outstanding. The Senior Notes require no principal installments prior to their June 15, 2022 maturity, require semiannual interest payments in December and June of each year and contain certain financial and non-financial covenants. The Senior Notes include a call feature that allows the Company to repurchase them anytime on or after June 15, 2017 at stated redemption prices currently at 100.9% and reducing to 100.0% on June 15, 2020, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Contingencies and Litigation

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $13.8 million and $18.2 million at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively, the majority of which relate to commercial contracts and self-insured workers' compensation programs.

As part of the Company's global sourcing strategy, we have entered into agreements with certain suppliers that require the supplier to maintain minimum levels of inventory to support certain products for which we require a short lead time to fulfill customer orders. We have the ability to notify the supplier that they no longer need to maintain the minimum level of inventory should we discontinue manufacturing of a product during the contract period, however, we must purchase the remaining minimum inventory levels the supplier was required to maintain within a defined period of time.

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of business. These legal proceedings typically include product liability, breaches of contract, employment, personal injury and other disputes. The Company has recorded reserves for loss contingencies based on the specific circumstances of each case. Such reserves are recorded when it is probable a loss has been incurred and can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, resolution of these contingencies is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company remains contingently liable for lease payments under leases of businesses that it previously divested or spun-off in the event that such businesses are unable to fulfill their future lease payment obligations, however, the Company does not believe it is probable that it will be required to satisfy these obligations. Future minimum lease payments for these leases at February 29, 2020 were $7.7 million associated with monthly payments extending to fiscal 2025.

As previously disclosed, the Company filed a voluntary self-disclosure ("VSD") with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) in October 2018 regarding otherwise authorized sales of tools and other products totaling approximately $0.5 million by certain of its foreign subsidiaries to two Iranian distributors, which sales potentially fell outside the scope of General License H under the Iranian Transaction and Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 560. The VSD also included information about additional transactions by certain of the Company's Dutch subsidiaries with a counterparty in Estonia that may have been in violation of E.O. 13685, as certain sales of products and services may have been diverted to the Crimea region of Ukraine. In February 2020, OFAC issued the Company a Cautionary Letter as its final enforcement response. Accordingly, the matter has concluded with no adverse impact to the Company's financial results.

Additionally, the Company has self-disclosed the sales to its Estonian customer to relevant authorities in the Netherlands as potentially violating applicable sanctions laws in that country and the European Union. The investigation by authorities in the Netherlands is ongoing and may result in penalties. At this time, the Company cannot predict when the investigation will be completed or reasonably estimate what penalties, if any, will be assessed. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome of the Netherlands investigation, the Company currently believes that there will be no material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 3. Restructuring Charges

The Company has undertaken or committed to various restructuring initiatives including workforce reductions; leadership changes; plant consolidations to reduce manufacturing overhead; satellite office closures; the continued movement of production and product sourcing to low-cost alternatives; and the centralization and standardization of certain administrative functions. Liabilities for severance will generally be paid within twelve months, while future lease payments related to facilities vacated as a result of restructuring will be paid over the underlying remaining lease terms. During fiscal 2019, the Company announced a new restructuring plan focused on i) the integration of the Enerpac and Hydratight businesses (Industrial Tools & Service ("IT&S") segment), ii) the strategic exit of certain commodity type services in our North America Services operations (IT&S segment) and iii) driving efficiencies within the overall corporate structure. Total restructuring charges associated with this restructuring plan were $1.7 million and $3.1 million in the three and six months ended February 29, 2020, respectively. The Company recorded total restructuring charges of $0.1 million in both the three and six months ended February 28, 2019 associated with the legacy restructuring initiatives.

The following summarizes restructuring reserve activity for the IT&S reportable segment and corporate (in thousands):

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Note 6. Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Changes in the gross carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, business acquisitions, divestitures and impairment charges. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended February 29, 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

	Industrial Tools & Services		Other		Total
Balance as of August 31, 2019	$	242,873	$	17,542	$	260,415

Balance as of February 29, 2020	$	254,283	$	17,545	$	271,828

The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

		$	182,138	$	115,637	$	66,501	$	164,389	$	112,014	$	52,375

*The decrease in the Gross Carrying Value and Accumulated Amortization of Trademarks and tradenames is a result of the Milwaukee Cylinder business being held for sale as of November 30, 2019 and the impairment charge discussed in Note 5, "Discontinued Operations and Other Divestiture Activities." included the Trademarks and tradenames associated with that business being fully impaired.

The Company estimates that amortization expense will be $4.5 million for the remaining six months of fiscal 2020. Amortization expense for future years is estimated to be: $8.0 million in fiscal 2021, $7.3 million in fiscal 2022, $5.8 million in fiscal 2023, $4.2 million in fiscal 2024, $3.4 million in fiscal 2025 and $8.7 million cumulatively thereafter. The future amortization expense amounts represent estimates and may be impacted by future acquisitions, adjustments to preliminary purchase accounting estimates, divestitures or changes in foreign currency exchange rates, among other causes.

Fiscal 2019 Impairment Charges

Within the Other segment, the Company recognized $3.5 million and $13.7 million of Goodwill impairment charges for the three and six months ended February 28, 2019 related to the Cortland U.S. business in conjunction with triggering events identified during the periods.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives

Note 10. Derivatives

All derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Changes in the value of derivatives (not designated as hedges) are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability.

The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of its operations. In order to manage this risk, the Company utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the exchange rate risk associated with recognized non-functional currency balances. The effects of changes in exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts and the related non-functional currency asset or liability. These derivative gains and losses offset foreign currency gains and losses from the related revaluation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities (amounts included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations). The U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of these short duration foreign currency exchange contracts was $116.1 million and $13.3 million at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was a net liability of $0.1 million in February 29, 2020 and a net asset of less than $0.1 million at August 31, 2019. Net foreign currency (loss) gain (included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) related to these derivative instruments were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended

Foreign currency (loss) gain, net	$	(376	)	$	227	$	(551	)	$	(2	)

The Company also uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge portions of our net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries (net investment hedge) against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. The change in the value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as net investment hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income where they offset gains and losses recorded on our net investments where the entity has a non-U.S. dollar functional currency. As of February 29, 2020, the notional value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as net investment hedges was $31.6 million. The Company recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) a loss of $0.2 million in the three months ended February 29, 2020.

Revenue Recognition Revenue from Contract Customers (Notes)

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

Note 2. Revenue Recognition

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company generates its revenue under two principal activities, which are discussed below:

Product Sales: Sales of tools, heavy-lifting solutions, and rope and cable solutions are recorded when control is transferred to the customer (i.e., performance obligation has been satisfied). For the majority of the Company’s product sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the product is shipped from the Company to the customer. Due to the highly customized nature and limited alternative use of certain products, for which the Company has an enforceable right of reimbursement for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized over time. We consider the input measure (efforts-expended or cost-to-cost) or output measure as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over time revenue associated with these custom products. For a majority of the Company’s custom products, machine hours and labor hours (efforts-expended measurement) are used as a measure of progress.

Service & Rental Sales: Service contracts consist of providing highly trained technicians to perform bolting, technical services, machining and joint integrity work for our customers. These revenues are recognized over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company. We consider the input measure (efforts-expended or cost-to-cost) or output measure as a fair measure of progress for the recognition of over time revenue associated with service contracts. For a majority of the Company’s service contracts, labor hours (efforts-expended measurement) is used as the measure of progress when it is determined to be a better depiction of the transfer of control to the customer due to the timing and pattern of labor hours incurred. Revenue from rental contracts (less than a year and non-customized products) is generally recognized ratably over the contract term, depicting the customer’s consumption of the benefit related to the rental equipment.

Disaggregated Revenue and Performance Obligations

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by reportable segment and product line and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. See Note 13, "Segment Information" for information regarding our revenue disaggregation by reportable segment and product line.

The following table presents information regarding revenues disaggregated by the timing of when goods and services are transferred (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	February 29, 2020		February 28, 2019		February 29, 2020		February 28, 2019
Revenues recognized at point in time	$	97,189	$	109,883	$	202,001	$	218,139
Revenues recognized over time	36,197		49,905		78,059		100,201
Total	$	133,386	$	159,788	$	280,060	$	318,340

Contract Balances

The Company's contract assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

	February 29, 2020		August 31, 2019
Receivables, which are included in accounts receivable, net	$	113,294	$	125,883
Contract assets, which are included in other current assets	5,177		3,747
Contract liabilities, which are included in other current liabilities	1,334		3,707

Receivables: The Company performs its obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. The Company typically invoices its customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred and a receivable for the Company is established.

Contract Assets: Contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed as of the reporting date on contracts with customers. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. The Company has contract assets on contracts that are generally long-term and have revenues that are recognized over time.

Contract Liabilities: As of February 29, 2020, the Company had certain contracts where there were unsatisfied performance obligations and the Company had received cash consideration from customers before the performance obligations were satisfied. The majority of these contracts relate to long-term customer contracts (project durations of greater than three months) and are recognized over time. The Company estimates that the $1.3 million will be recognized in net sales from satisfying those performance obligations within the next twelve months.

Significant Judgments

Timing of Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time: The Company evaluates when the customer obtains control of the product based on shipping terms, as control will transfer, depending upon such terms, at different points between the Company's manufacturing facility or warehouse and the customer’s location. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery because i) the Company has a present right to payment at that time; ii) the legal title has been transferred to the customer; iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer; and iv) the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product.

Variable Consideration: The Company estimates whether it will be subject to variable consideration under the terms of the contract and includes its estimate of variable consideration in the transaction price based on the expected value method when it is deemed probable of being realized based on historical experience and trends. Types of variable consideration may include rebates, incentives and discounts, among others, which are recorded as a reduction to net sales at the time when control of a performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

Practical Expedients & Exemptions: The Company elected to expense the incremental cost to obtaining a contract when the amortization period for such contracts would be one year or less. The Company does not disclose the value of unperformed obligations for i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and ii) contracts for which it recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

* "(Loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes" for the periods presented in fiscal 2020 include the results of the EC&S segment for the two months ended October 31, 2019 (the divestiture date) as well as the ancillary impacts from certain retained liabilities subsequent to the divestiture. As a result of the classification of the segment as assets and liabilities held for sale for the two months ended October 31, 2019, the Company did not record amortization or depreciation expense in the results of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, the Company excluded EC&S segment employees from the fiscal 2020 bonus compensation plan, hence there are no expenses associated with the plan for that period.

Leases [Abstract]

Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]

Note 15. Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 on September 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and as a result did not adjust prior periods. See Note 1, “Basis of Presentation” for further discussion of the adoption.

As of February 29, 2020, the Company has operating leases for real estate, vehicles, manufacturing equipment, IT equipment and office equipment. The Company did not have any financing leases during the three and six months ended February 29, 2020. Our real estate leases are generally for office, warehouse and manufacturing facilities typically ranging in term from 5 to 15 years and may contain renewal options for periods up to 3 years at our discretion. Our equipment leases are generally for vehicles, manufacturing and IT equipment typically ranging in term from 3 to 7 years and may contain renewal options for periods up to one year at our discretion. Our leases generally contain payments that are primarily fixed; however, certain lease arrangements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities. These amounts include payments affected by changes in the Consumer Price Index and executory costs (such as real estate taxes, utilities and common-area maintenance), which are based on usage or performance. In addition, our leases generally do not include material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract and identify classification of the lease as financing or operating. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We account for the underlying operating lease asset at the individual lease level. Operating leases are recorded as operating lease ROU assets in “Other long-term assets” and operating lease liabilities in “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

All leases greater than 12 months result in recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date and are recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease term is equal to the initial term at commencement plus any renewal or extension options that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised. ROU assets at the date of commencement are equal to the amount of the initial lease liability, the initial direct costs incurred by the Company and any prepaid lease payments less any incentives received. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term or remaining useful life. As most of our leases do not provide the information required to determine the implicit rate, we utilize a consolidated group incremental borrowing rate for all leases as the Company has centralized treasury operations. The incremental borrowing rate is derived through a combination of inputs such as the Company's credit rating, impact of collaborated borrowing capabilities and lease term.

The Company considers contract modifications when there is a change to the contractual terms, scope of the lease or the consideration given. In the event the right to use an additional asset is granted and the lease payments associated with the additional asset are commensurate with the ROU asset’s standalone price, the modification is accounted for as a separate contract and the original contract remains unchanged. In the event that a single lease is modified, the Company reassesses the classification of the modified lease as of the effective date of the modification based on the modified terms and accounts for initial direct costs, lease incentives and any other payments made to or by the Company in connection with the modification in the same manner that items would be accounted for in connection with a new lease. If there is an additional ROU asset included, the lease term is extended or reduced, or the consideration is the only change in the contract, the Company reallocates the remaining consideration in the contract and remeasures the lease liability using a discount rate determined at the effective date of the modification. The remeasured lease liability for the modified lease is an adjustment to the corresponding ROU asset and does not impact the Condensed Consolidated

Statements of Operations. In the event of a full or partial termination, the carrying value of the ROU asset decreases on a basis proportionate to the full or partial termination and any difference between the reduction in the lease liability and the proportionate reduction of the ROU asset is recognized as a gain or loss at the effective date of the modification.

The Company elected not to recognize short-term leases on its balance sheet and continues to expense such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
